Hungarian air force joins War Thunder
03/01/2024 - Gaijin Entertainment announces that the online vehicle combat game War Thunder will receive a new major update, Alpha Strike, in March. It will add the branch of Hungarian aircraft in the Italian research tree and bring dozens of other new vehicles, including the French VTT DCA quad anti-aircraft tank.
The Hungarian Air Force was mainly equipped with German equipment during the Second World War and then used Soviet aircraft after 1945, which is also reflected in the composition of the Hungarian sub-research tree in War Thunder. The top aircraft, however, is the Swedish JAS39C multi-role fighter, which entered service in the early 2000s.
The VTT DCA is an anti-aircraft tank with four 12.7 mm MGs on a light, armored tracked vehicle platform that can also fire directly in the direction of travel. Such a vehicle can engage not only aircraft, but also light tanks and armored vehicles and, in the case of "heavier" targets, can at least pull a track or damage the gun.
The Wessex HU.5 is one of the UK's most famous helicopters. It was in service for more than 42 years and was involved in amphibious and anti-submarine operations, was used in rescue missions, served as a 'bird' for special forces and even carried members of the British Royal Family. It is a large aircraft that can carry a whole arsenal of weapons into battle, including two AS.11 and AS.12 guided missiles at once.
