Gaijin Entertainment has exciting news: War Thunder's "Firebirds" update, arriving in early November, is packed with new aircraft and features. This update introduces some major players in military aviation.

New Aircraft in War Thunder

The update boasts iconic additions like the American F-117 stealth attack aircraft, Russia's Su-34 fighter-bomber, and the F-15E Strike Eagle, along with new ground vehicles and warships such as the British FV107 Scimitar light tank and the French battleship Dunkerque.

Let's examine some highlights. The F-117A Nighthawk is War Thunder's first stealth aircraft. Its unique shape and materials—hard edges, radar-absorbing materials, ferromagnetic paint, and shielded engines—allow it to evade radar and infrared detection. Its real-world performance during Operation Desert Storm, completing over 1,200 combat sorties without a single loss, speaks volumes.

The F-15E Strike Eagle, an upgraded F-15, emphasizes raw power. Boasting a 50% larger payload than its predecessor, it features ground target detection radar. Its arsenal includes AGM-65 Maverick missiles, laser-guided bombs, JDAM navigation-guided bombs, and even the GBU-39 satellite-guided bombs (20 at a time!). Its status as a U.S. Air Force mainstay is well-deserved.

More Than Just Aircraft

Beyond the aircraft, the Firebirds update expands War Thunder's ground and naval forces with additions like the agile British FV107 Scimitar and the French Dunkerque battleship.

The new "Aces High" season is also underway, offering unique vehicles to unlock, along with various trophies and rewards for completing the season and Battle Pass. This includes aircraft such as the Bf 109 G-14, F2G-1, and La-11, formidable platoons like the T54E2 and G6, and ships like the HMS Orion and USS Billfish.
