Firebirds Update: War Thunder Adds New Aircraft Soon!

Gaijin Entertainment has some thrilling updates for War Thunder fans—the Firebirds update is coming in early November, packed with exciting new content. This update introduces a range of new aircraft, ground vehicles, and warships, promising to elevate your gaming experience to new heights.

Which Are the New Aircraft in War Thunder?

The Firebirds update brings iconic aircraft to the game, including the American F-117 stealth attack aircraft, Russia's Su-34 fighter bomber, and the F-15E Strike Eagle. Let's dive into the details of these new additions:

F-117A Nighthawk: This aircraft marks War Thunder's first foray into stealth technology. With its unique design, featuring hard edges and sharp angles, the F-117 is crafted to deflect radar waves and evade detection. It's coated with radar-absorbing materials and ferromagnetic paint, and its engines are concealed behind intricate shielding. In real-world scenarios, like during Operation Desert Storm, the F-117 proved its stealth capabilities by completing over 1,200 combat sorties without a single loss.

F-15E Strike Eagle: Known for its raw power, the F-15E is an enhanced version of the classic F-15 fighter, designed for heavy-hitting strikes. With a payload capacity 50% larger than its predecessor, the F-15E comes equipped with advanced ground target detection radar. Players can utilize a wide range of weaponry, including AGM-65 Maverick missiles, laser-guided bombs, JDAM navigation-guided bombs, and GBU-39 satellite-guided bombs, which can be dropped in volleys of up to 20. This aircraft is a key component of the U.S. Air Force's strike capabilities.

In addition to these aircraft, the Firebirds update also introduces new ground vehicles like the agile British FV107 Scimitar light tank and the formidable French battleship Dunkerque, enhancing the game's diversity and strategic depth.

There are quite a few new flying machines hitting the skies!

The Firebirds update isn't just about aircraft; it also brings a wealth of new content across different battlefields. Alongside the new vehicles, the Aces High season is in full swing, offering players the chance to unlock unique vehicles and earn various rewards by completing the season and Battle Pass. From aircraft like the Bf 109 G-14, F2G-1, and La-11 to formidable platoons such as the T54E2 and G6, and ships like the HMS Orion and USS Billfish, there's plenty to explore and conquer.

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.
