War Thunder expands arsenal with Su-27, F-15 and more in December update
12/08/2023 - The online military game War Thunder is about to receive a major expansion. Gaijin Entertainment announced the major content update "Air Superiority", which is due to be released in mid-December. The update promises to enrich the game with state-of-the-art fighter jets and other military vehicles.
Highlights include the famous twin-engine Su-27 and F-15 fighter jets, which are among the most modern of their kind. The American F-15 jet, also known as the "Eagle", played a decisive role in air battles in the late 20th century, including the Lebanon War and the first Iraq War. This aircraft will be integrated into War Thunder in various local versions to suit the USA, Japan and Israel.
The Su-27, known in NATO code as the "Flanker", was developed in the Soviet Union as a complement to the lighter and cheaper MiG-29. This aircraft took part in various local conflicts and proved to be effective without suffering losses. The Su-27 serves in 11 countries and in China in the local version Shenyang J-11, which will also be available in War Thunder.
In terms of tanks, the update introduces the M1A2 SEP V2 TUSK II and the T-90M. The M1A2 is the latest version of the Abrams main battle tank, equipped with additional armor for urban combat and modern electronics. The T-90M represents the most advanced representative of the T-90 family, with a new welded turret and an improved fire control system.
In addition to the ground vehicles, the update will also bring new warships, among which the USS Roanoke, a light cruiser, stands out. With twelve rapid-firing 152 mm cannons and thick internal armor, the ship promises to be a dangerous opponent both at sea and against air targets.
With "Air Superiority", War Thunder adds some of the most modern and historically significant military vehicles to its arsenal, offering players an even more immersive and dynamic gaming experience.
