41s | Hello, friends! The summer heat is slowly fading away, but War Thunder is ready to warm you back up with |
---|---|
47s | the first fall update this year: the Sons of Attila. |
51s | It brings improved visual effects, unique mechanics, and, of course, numerous long-awaited |
56s | vehicles for various nations. |
58s | But there’s one thing we’d like to say before we begin... |
61s | Please welcome a new nation: Hungary! |
65s | Their armored vehicles will fit into the Italian tech tree to reinforce your line-ups across |
70s | all BR ranges from the very lowest to high tiers. |
75s | We’ve been working hard to improve the realism of War Thunder, and this time around we’d |
79s | like to introduce a few new mechanics. |
82s | External ammo on armored vehicles like smoke grenades and suspended armament on aircraft |
87s | is now entirely destructible. |
89s | Depending on the impact force, a hit will lead to various results: destruction of the |
94s | impacted ammo with no explosion, a fire, or detonation. |
99s | And that’s not all: you can now destroy decorations and bushes mounted on vehicles. |
106s | For top-tier aircraft enthusiasts, we’ve prepared new voice warning systems in various |
111s | languages. |
112s | Soviet and Russian crews often refer to it as ‘Rita’, while ‘Betty’ is the popular |
117s | American nickname. |
119s | A female voice will now warn a pilot about G overloads, critical angles of attack, an |
124s | imminent ground collision, low fuel, and many other important factors. |
129s | We hope this will improve your immersion in air battles. |
133s | The visual aspect of the game has been refined, too. |
136s | We added new effects for exhaust fumes on gun barrels, fuel leaking from damaged tanks |
141s | can now burn, and trees now have more realistic foliage. |
146s | The graphics overall have also been improved thanks to dynamic visual effects that change |
150s | based on the lighting conditions. |
154s | This time, the parade of new vehicles will begin with the most unique Hungarian newcomers! |
159s | And the first is the Csaba light armored car. |
162s | A powerful engine can propel this six-ton machine to 65 km/h both forward and in reverse, |
169s | while its semi-automatic 20-mm anti-tank rifle can destroy targets with APHE rounds. |
176s | The top of the Hungarian branch can now boast the KF41 Lynx IFV. |
183s | This vehicle is armed with a two-plane stabilized 30-mm autocannon with APFSDS rounds as well |
190s | as a dual ATGM launcher that utilizes the ‘fire and forget’ Spike missiles. |
197s | American and Israeli skies are now protected by Improved Chaparral air defense systems. |
203s | They’re armed with SAMs based on the Sidewinder missiles. |
207s | Four of those are ready to go, and eight more are waiting for their turn inside the hull. |
212s | Another hot, and dare we say it, smoking hot vehicle is the Soviet flame tank based on the T-55. |
221s | It has a flamethrower on the right side of the turret, and the ammo rack next to the |
225s | driver has been replaced with a tank for the incendiary mixture. |
229s | And don’t worry, it still comes equipped with the standard 100-mm cannon, so the firepower |
234s | has only been improved! |
236s | We have something new for the pilots, too. |
239s | The legendary Mi-8 helicopters have arrived to War Thunder! |
243s | Two powerful turboshaft engines allow it to carry a large payload, consisting of guided |
248s | missiles, conventional and napalm bombs, as well as a record number of rockets for a helicopter: 192! |
257s | Another rotorcraft has been added to the US and Chinese tech trees. |
262s | The Bell OH-58D Kiowa Warrior is a strike version of the light multirole helicopter. |
269s | It features a guidance system conveniently placed above the main rotor hub, and it’s |
274s | armed with rockets and laser-guided missiles for ground targets, while a set of Stinger |
278s | missiles protect it against enemy air. |
281s | And finally, here are the new top-tier jets! |
286s | The US Air Force has received a new F-16, modification C. It has a helmet-mounted display, |
292s | a more powerful engine, a modern radar, and an impressive choice of suspended armament |
298s | including laser-guided munitions. |
301s | On the other side of the planet, we have the MiG-29SMT. |
306s | This new vehicle has a larger fuel capacity, an advanced radar, and cutting-edge weaponry. |
312s | The latter includes the R-73 and R-27ET air-to-air missiles as well as air-to-surface TV-guided ordnance. |
322s | The top ranks of Italian aircraft have been reinforced by the AV-8B PLUS Harrier attack aircraft. |
329s | Its arsenal includes conventional bombs and rockets and, of course, guided air-to-air |
334s | and air-to-surface munitions. |
338s | As always, this is not an exhaustive list of everything we’re adding with this update. |
344s | War Thunder will now have Rank 6 for Naval forces, and some existing top battleships |
349s | and cruisers will move there. |
350s | We’re also adding numerous other vehicles, like a new top Leopard, the 2S1 Gvozdika SPG, |
358s | and the Israeli two-seater F-16. |
361s | See some of them in the next Shooting Range this Sunday! |
365s | As usual, the full changelog is available on our official website. |
369s | Please subscribe to our channel, enjoy the new vehicles, and don’t forget to share |
374s | your thoughts in the comments! See you! |
