Firebirds Update Brings New Aircraft to War Thunder Soon!

Gaijin Entertainment has thrilling news for War Thunder fans: the Firebirds update, packed with new aircraft, is set to soar into the game in early November. This update is nothing short of spectacular, featuring some of the most renowned names in military aviation history.

Which Are the New Aircraft in War Thunder?

Prepare to take to the skies with an array of new aircraft. You'll have the chance to pilot the iconic American F-117 stealth attack aircraft, Russia's formidable Su-34 fighter bomber, and the versatile F-15E Strike Eagle, to name just a few. Alongside these high-flying machines, the update introduces new ground vehicles and warships, including the agile British FV107 Scimitar light tank and the majestic French battleship Dunkerque.

Let's dive into the details of these new additions, starting with the F-117A Nighthawk. This aircraft marks a historic moment in War Thunder as it's the first to feature stealth technology. The F-117's design is all about evading radar and infrared detection, thanks to its unique shape and special materials. Its hard edges and sharp angles deflect radar waves, effectively cloaking it from enemy detection. Additionally, it's coated with radar-absorbing materials and ferromagnetic paint, with its engines cleverly concealed behind intricate shielding. In real-world scenarios, like during Operation Desert Storm, the F-117 proved its mettle by completing over 1,200 combat sorties without a single loss—a true ghost in the sky.

Next up is the F-15E Strike Eagle, a powerhouse designed for destruction. An evolution of the classic F-15 fighter, the F-15E boasts a 50% larger payload and is equipped with advanced ground target detection radar. This aircraft offers a wide range of munitions, from AGM-65 Maverick missiles to laser-guided bombs, JDAM navigation-guided bombs, and even the capability to deploy 20 GBU-39 satellite-guided bombs in a single sortie. It's no wonder the F-15E is a cornerstone of the U.S. Air Force's strike capabilities.

The Firebirds update isn't just about aircraft; it also introduces exciting new ground and naval assets. The British FV107 Scimitar light tank and the French battleship Dunkerque are set to join the fray, adding more diversity to your gameplay.

In addition to these new vehicles, the Aces High season is now in full swing. Players can unlock unique vehicles and earn a variety of trophies and rewards by completing the season and Battle Pass. From aircraft like the Bf 109 G-14, F2G-1, and La-11, to formidable platoons like the T54E2 and G6, and ships like the HMS Orion and USS Billfish, there's plenty to strive for.

Don't miss out on the action—download War Thunder Mobile from the Google Play Store and be ready to pilot these new aircraft as soon as they launch.
