The next major update will see several of these new systems come to the game for several nations at once.

Please can you confirm if Israel are at least getting something like the SPYDER. they seriously need something other than the imp/machbet

Why the hell would you want to lock Vextra POLE behind paywall? It’s the only wheeled french vehicle with 120mm cannon.

War Thunder’s VFX are constantly evolving and in the next major update we’ll have some improvements to this aspect of the game. One in particular that we’d like to mention is the afterburner effect of aircraft, where we’ve looked to refine the inside of the nozzle by adding a flame effect, giving them a more realistic and in-depth look. This improvement will come for all aircraft that have afterburners.

The afterburner effect looks pretty neat, I hope you guys are planning to model the inner textures as they should be for many jets :) since after Firebirds the custom inner textures don’t look that good anymore.

Come on, give me the SPYDER AIO for the IDF and i’m happy Gaijin.

[CalvinAz]

It has the Giraffe 1X radar, which will be pretty good. TWS and 360°x70° coverage in 1s (AESA things), with sufficient detection range against aircraft. I don’t have sources on whether the vehicle itself also has datalink with the missiles for proper LOAL performance though, but I imagine it does. LOAL would be extremely deadly to helicopters, which solves one of the major issues with IR missile SAMs currently.

Spoiler

[DevilO6]

Dont forget the radar can do CRAM. Cuz why not?

[CalvinAz]

Yea, but I am not sure if the missiles themselves will like that (in-game), especially against things like bombs. Maybe datalink can get it close enough.

Eh I guess it can otherwise be helpful to tell you when to smoke.

The Leopard 2A4 has a reason to be called Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V because they are the same vehicles with different appearances
And I didn’t want anything special. I’m just saying that it would be better to have new equipment than repetitive equipment

[かがり]

The SAM-1C ARH for the Type 81, given they are now implementing FCS vehicles

Due to the popularity of the SEAD event, we’ve decided to return it this weekend from May 2nd (14:00 GMT) until May 5th (04:00 GMT), so that everyone who is at home from education and work can give it a try if they missed it the first time round.

Anyone hyped ? me sure as hell

[Mathll]

Not sure it’s the best example since it’s a French helicopter bought by the US : )

[BOMBAY9997042-live]

@oom1992

Apache guardian (V4) or prototype attack helicopter ?

god I hope not, it would be better so see an actual naval helicopter added to the US TT

[PointyPuffin]

US chopper could also be the RAH-66

[Master_Teaz]

given that the YAH-56 was found in the files it’s unlikely

[_Renzo]

Imagine if they are trying to hype up this sad thing as a cool addition lol.

Just more SPAA fodder.

[Pvt_Wade]

imagine if wt events 1 month gap happened during exams instead of summer break

[_Renzo]

The 10.7 M1 is the most survivable Abrams to begin with.

What really made hurt the Abrams survivability is 550+mm pen darts, one shot killing an Abrams with such darts is the easiest and most consistent thing in the world.

[Italiano_Pizza]

will Italy and France get something iconic for naval this update like the other major nations or nah?

[Morvran]

Some day maybe, we’ll actually get a half decent gamemode for helis
