In a trailer, the developers of War Thunder present the next big update: “Dance of Dragons”.
What kind of game is this? War Thunder is a military MMO that allows players to engage in large PvP battles against each other. Players can take control of various historical and modern tanks, planes, helicopters, and ships.
War Thunder was released in 2012 and has since been continuously updated with new content by developer Gaijin Entertainment. The next big update is named “Dance of Dragons”.
You can watch the trailer for the new update here:
What does the trailer reveal? It becomes clear in the first few seconds: The focus is on the two new Chinese fighter jets. According to colleagues at MMORPG, these are the J-10A and the JF-17. The latter was developed in China for the Pakistani Air Force.
In a blog post on warthunder.com, the developers have already introduced the J-10A. The aircraft is said to excel with a maximum speed of Mach 2 (about 2,390 km/h), excellent maneuverability, and a focus on aerial combat.
More new aircraft and a beta test
However, this does not mean that other countries will miss out on this update. An attentive commentator on YouTube has compiled a list of the equipment presented in the trailer. This includes:
- The A10C, a modern variant of the US A10 – also known as Warthog
- The French coastal fleet, which, according to a forum post on warthunder.com, is to be tested in a closed beta
- The F-111C bomber developed for the Royal Australian Air Force
- The FFA P-16, a ground attack aircraft from Switzerland
Is there already a release date? No, the developers have not yet revealed when the update is set to be released.
War Thunder is likely known to many, at least by name, even if they do not play the military MMO themselves. Particularly dedicated players often make headlines when they “leak” (allegedly) military secrets in online forums.
