Over The Top: WWI – Launch Trailer

Over The Top: WWI takes players to twelve historically inspired battlefields reminiscent of the Western Front during World War I. Equipped with an absurd arsenal of deadly weapons, players engage in 100-versus-100 battles as Germans, French, or British soldiers. Numerous rifles, devastating artillery pieces, destructive tanks, and other historical military equipment, such as aircraft and bunkers, are at their disposal for powerful destruction. Players can use the fully destructible environments to their advantage, digging trenches or building defensive positions to help them achieve victory.

Single-player mode offers the same scope of gameplay, allowing players to fight alongside large groups of CPU-controlled units and bring World War I to their screens. The team behind Over The Top: WWI consists of four members, all active participants in historical reenactments; therefore, they place great importance on an authentic representation of the war’s events. Players can look forward to maps, vehicles, and uniforms with remarkable attention to detail.

The next chapter in the Foundations series from World of Tanks: HEAT has arrived. Titled FOUNDATIONS: HUMAN-MACHINE SYNERGY, this latest instalment explores the dynamic relationship between Agents and their tanks, and how that union defines victory. Discover how coordination, customisation, and powerful Ultimate abilities redefine the battlefield.

‘Human-Machine Synergy’ Foundations Trailer

Agents are the backbone of human-machine synergy. Much more than mere operators, they bring their tanks to life. They modify, upgrade, and optimize them, balancing power, speed, and battlefield awareness in a way that perfectly aligns with their role within a squad.

Agents fall into three major classes:

• Defender: Made to take a beating, Defenders roll boldly into battle with a blend of survivability and firepower, plus some unique tricks up their sleeves.
• Assault: Attacking quickly and disappearing before the enemy can retaliate, Assault units are high-velocity menaces that thrive at the heart of a fight.
• Marksman: Lurking in the shadows and on the heights of the battlefield, Marksmen hunt from a distance, drawing enemies out without being spotted.

Tanks and their abilities

Each Agent can own up to two tanks, offering two different ways to fully express their combat style.

Every tank has signature abilities that can be improved through battle. For example, Hound’s AMX tank can launch a drone to sniff out enemies, then follow it up with a homing missile. Hound’s other tank, the Leo, is a master of deception that creates a distracting decoywhile preparing a trapping shot to stop enemies in their tracks.

Ultimates

When the battle reaches its peak, it’s time for Agents to unleash their devastating Ultimate abilities to turn the course of the fight.

Each Agent has their own unique Ultimate, shaped by their personality and battle style:

• Kent launches a punishing barrage of rockets, dealing crippling damage to all enemies struck.
• Hound turns his surroundings into a hunting ground, chaining kills together to trigger an instant ability cooldown.
• Chopper shakes up entire stretches of land with targeted repeat artillery strikes.

Variety is key

The roles and abilities in HEAT offer numerous ways to play and paths to explore. While each Agent has a broad battlefield role, within these roles lie opportunities for experimentation and optimization, letting you define and refine your playstyle.

There’s more to be unveiled in the upcoming videos, so stay tuned—and be sure to wishlist the game today on Steam!

Update brings dozens of new vehicles, including World War II legends and the most modern models

Gaijin Entertainment announces that the “Ninth Wave” major update for the online military action game War Thunder will be released in mid-March. It introduces Rank IX and the most modern generation 4+ aircraft, such as the F/A-18F and Su-30SM2. The major update will also feature Hungarian planes, redesigned classic maps like “White Rock Fortress” and “Ardennes” and dozens of new ground, air, and naval vehicles, including the American destroyer Helm, which was one of the first to fight back against the enemy at Pearl Harbor.

‘Ninth Wave’ Update Trailer

The Australian F/A-18F Super Hornet is a two-seat modification of the renowned fighter-bomber, capable of carrying a large number of AMRAAM active radar-homing missiles for long-range air combat and a vast arsenal of air-to-surface weapons for ground attack. These aircraft were delivered to the Australian Air Force from 2010 to 2012, and were used in Iraq in 2014.

White Rock Fortress, one of War Thunder’s first ground battle locations, was essentially rebuilt from scratch according to modern graphics standards, with an abundance of fine visual details, while maintaining the navigation familiar to veterans. A similar graphical overhaul awaits fans of the Ardennes map, with abandoned gun emplacements, collapsed buildings, and trees covered in autumn gold now look significantly better, while all approaches, bypasses, and terrain layout remain unchanged. There are also some gameplay innovations: abandoned vehicles (bulldozers and tractors) can now be used as temporary mobile cover by pushing them forward.

Hungarian combat aircraft will be added to the Italian aviation research tree, starting with the Héja I and II fighters, based on the all-metal Reggiane Re.2000 monoplane from the Second World War. The Héja I features an 8mm steel backplate, which adds some weight but significantly increases survivability. In the Héja II, Hungarian engineers installed a new domestically produced propeller-engine system, redistributed the fuel tanks, and installed Hungarian Gebauer 1940.M GKM heavy machine guns with a higher rate of fire.

The M1296 Dragoon is an American combat vehicle based on the Stryker platform, featuring a new unmanned turret with a 30 mm XM813 cannon. Its shells can effectively destroy light vehicles and helicopters, and even penetrate the side of any main battle tank. Its fast wheeled chassis allows it to accelerate to 100 km/h on hard surfaces, maneuver quickly, and flank the enemy.

More information about the “Ninth Wave” update can be found on the game’s official website.
