Блог
Gaijin Entertainment has unveiled a large amount of equipment for its free-to-play online fighting game War Thunder. Special attention was paid to airplanes and small ships, for which they even opened a separate branch in the research menu. Also, the changes affected the maps, suspension settings and camouflage - camouflage net, for example, now copies the color of the hull of the car on which it was put on. Finally, let's touch upon the developers' plans until the end of 2024.

Dragon Dance details in War Thunder

Let's start with the aviation, because here are the most interesting additions. Finally, gamers will be able to fly the American A-10 attack aircraft in the C modification, which is nicknamed "Bearded Man" for its appearance. On its board is the most modern equipment, including a sighting visor in the pilot's helmet. The Chinese Air Force was joined by the J-17, a fighter jet developed jointly with Pakistan. The Soviet Su-24M front-line bomber, which can change the sweep of its wings, can also be used during matches. Its main differences are its high speed and high payload weight. The Swiss analog, the FAA P-16, is made by ordinary users and added to the game as part of the German fleet.

As for the rest of the vehicles, you can ride the Puma with Spike missiles and the English Stormer AD with Stingers - the latter is unusual because its GAU-12 cannon is equally good against both tanks and airplanes. From the museum exhibits appeared T1E1 with an experimental 90-millimeter gun and Finnish tank KV-1 m1942. Fans of naval battles will appreciate the opportunity to control the Russian line cruiser "Izmail". Who likes boats more, is free to take part in the beta-test of the small fleet of France - for ships of this type has its own branch of development.

Dance of Dragons did not bring any new maps, but there is room for improvements and rearrangement of key points in the old ones. The interface for customizing the board before a flight has become clearer - nothing prevents you from seeing at once how the plane looks like with certain bombs and missiles under its wings. In all types of vehicles the number of internal modules has increased, which is especially important for helicopters - this update will add realism to the damage. By the end of the year, the developers promise to add fuse control during battle, building ammunition crates for SAU on the battlefield, sorting crews by historical periods, recycling unnecessary items and a number of social functions.
