There’s a Storm Warning in War Thunder as new massive content update incoming

Gaijin Entertainment has released the Storm Warning update for War Thunder, bringing a host of new military vehicles and features to the game just in time for the end of the year

This latest major content update includes the 4.5-generation fighters Typhoon and Rafale, the advanced Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled gun, and the French light cruiser La Galissonnière. While we are at it we can also explore the new “Attica” map, inspired by the landscapes of Greece.

The Eurofighter Typhoon, developed by Germany, the UK, and Italy, is a standout addition (and one of my favorite pieces of military hardware in recent years fact fans). This modern fighter jet, also in service with several other countries, boasts an impressive arsenal of up to 10 air-to-air missiles, including the AIM-9 Sidewinder and AIM-120 AMRAAM. With its helmet-mounted targeting system and advanced CAPTOR radar, the Typhoon is a force to be reckoned with in both close and long-range combat is is set to be extremely popular within War Thunder.

Not to be outdone, the Rafale F3-R, the latest French-produced fighter jet, makes its debut in War Thunder. Accepted into service in 2018, this aircraft is a powerhouse in long-range combat, thanks to its MICA-EM ARH missiles. It also features the AASM HAMMER precision weapons system, new to War Thunder, which includes a vast array of guided bombs for taking out ground targets.

The update also brings the Thai Air Force subtree to the Japanese aviation line, expanding tactical options for players. The F-5T SCU “Tigris” light jet fighter, equipped with Python 3 air-to-air missiles, is a notable addition to this branch and again will likely prove a popular fighter to start blowing people out of the sky with.

On the ground, the Panzerhaubitze 2000 stands out as one of the most advanced self-propelled howitzers in the world. Its 155 mm L52 gun can hit targets at distances of tens of kilometers, with a reload speed as low as 6 seconds. Despite its nearly 58-ton weight, this beast can reach speeds of up to 60 km/h on good roads, allowing for quick repositioning.
