Gaijin Entertainment announces that the major content update “Leviathans” for the military online action War Thunder is already available to the players. While battleships like Yamato are literally the largest part of it, the update also introduces a completely new type of military vehicle: multi-vehicle SAM systems. The Swiss aviation subtree and the legendary Comanche helicopter will also fire many players up.

As War Thunder is gradually adding more and more sophisticated modern weapon systems to the virtual battlefield, the time has come for the advanced SAM systems that consist of multiple vehicles that work together, including one with a radar for surveillance and fire control, and one or more launchers. War Thunder players will be able to field those two machines at same time, cycling between them and driving them around independently.
A good example of a multi-vehicle SAM system is the German IRIS-T SLM that consists of one radar vehicle and two launchers. All vehicles have no armor and are truly large in size, so they can be easily spotted and destroyed if an enemy comes close enough. On the other hand, this SAM fires IRIS-T SL medium-range missiles that feature an all-aspect thermal imaging homing head with an inertial guidance system, offer improved noise and IR countermeasure immunity and are capable of totally clearing up the sky at distances of up to 40 km.
Other multi-vehicle SAM systems in War Thunder include Japanese Tan-SAM kai and American CLAWS based on the famous Humvee chassis.
The Swiss aviation subtree is added to the German aircraft tree, offering more tactical options to the players. It includes the Mirage IIIS C.70 export modification, a new variant of the Hawker Hunter F.58, as well as two variants of the formidable F/A-18 Hornet. The highlight of this subtree is the C-3604 piston-engine strike aircraft, fully designed by Swiss engineers. Equipped with a total of three 20 mm cannons and backed up by a pair of 7.5 mm machine guns, it can also be fitted with suspended ordnance up to a maximum payload of 600 kg.
RAH-66 Comanche is a stealthy reconnaissance and attack helicopter developed during the late Cold War to counter high-tech threats, but ultimately abandoned due to cost overruns. Thanks to the specific geometry, the Comanche is capable of alluding radar detection until it closes in much more to its target compared to conventional helicopters with the same size. The sleek design and use of lightweight composite materials allows it to attain top speeds of over 324 km/h, earning its place among War Thunder’s most nimble helicopters. The Comanche has a selection of most proven American ordnance options, ranging from Hellfire and Stinger missiles to Hydra rocket pods, as well a nose-mounted 20 mm rotary cannon.
More information on the “Leviathans” update is available at the War Thunder official website.
