Anti-radiation missiles, electronic support measures, and dozens of new vehicles arrive in the new update

Gaijin Entertainment announces the release of Heavy Cavalry, a new major content update for the online military action game War Thunder. The update brings dozens of new ground, air and naval vehicles, including M1A2 SEP v3 and Т-90M Arena-M MBTs, introduces anti-radiation missiles and electronic support measures to expand high-tier combined battles, and adds new machines for many nations, including Indonesian Leopard 2RI, Argentinian IA 58A Pucará and Serbian J-22M1A Orao. Naval battles are reinforced as well, with the German warship Admiral Scheer joining the fleet.

‘HEAVY CAVALRY’ UPDATE TRAILER

One of the headline features of Heavy Cavalry is the arrival of anti-radiation missiles and electronic support measures. These new tools give pilots a specialized way to hunt radar-guided air defense systems. Anti-radiation missiles are designed to detect enemy radar emissions and guide themselves toward the source, while ESM equipment helps pilots locate signal sources, select targets and provide missile guidance. The first wave features weapons such as the AGM-88 HARM, AS-37 ARMAT, ALARM, YJ-91, CM-102, LD-10, and Soviet Kh-family missiles, including a ramjet-powered model.

Aviation fans can now take the IA 58A Pucará into battle, the first domestically designed and produced Argentine aircraft to appear in War Thunder. This compact twin-turboprop ground attack aircraft combines 20 mm cannons, machine guns, bombs, rockets and even a torpedo option. While not fast, the Pucará is agile, responsive and well suited for close air support, especially in Ground Battles where its flexible payload can be used against a wide range of targets.

More information on the Heavy Cavalry update is available on the War Thunder official website.

Two new Operation Neptune battlefields, spectacular destruction effects, improved animations and fresh weapons arrive in the WW2 online shooter

Gaijin Entertainment and Darkflow Software announce Operation Neptune, a new major content update for Enlisted, the squad-based online shooter dedicated to the key battles of World War II. The update brings players to Normandy, expands the research trees with new weapons and vehicles, and significantly improves the look and feel of combat with reworked explosions, ricochets, tracers, animations and visual effects.

“Operation Neptune” Update Trailer

The centerpiece of Operation Neptune is the new Omaha location, inspired by the Allied landings on Omaha and Sword beaches. The new battlefield offers varied terrain, where trenches, pillboxes, artillery craters, barbed wire and coastal batteries create new tactical opportunities for both attackers and defenders. Battles will also move beyond the beach itself, taking players through battered urban districts, rural areas, farms, factories and warehouses, each demanding a different approach to movement, cover and squad tactics.

Operation Neptune also adds new research-tree equipment for several armies. The USSR receives the SU-122 self-propelled gun, built on the T-34 chassis and armed with a gun capable of threatening both infantry and armored targets. Germany adds the Nashorn tank destroyer, equipped with the powerful 88 mm PaK43 cannon, as well as the Suomi KP/-31 (SJR), an improved version of the famous Finnish submachine gun with better accuracy and a 71-round magazine. Japan receives the Type 4 90 mm anti-tank launcher, while the United States adds the F7F-1 Tigercat, a fast twin-engine heavy fighter armed with 20 mm cannons, Browning machine guns and bombs.

The update also makes Enlisted’s battles more spectacular and readable. Tank destruction effects have been reworked, including improved ammunition rack fires and turrets that can be blown off by internal explosions. These turrets are not just cosmetic: they can crush soldiers unlucky enough to be standing beneath them. Flying debris now leaves smoke trails, fires can spread to nearby grass, and vehicle armor penetrations produce more visible sparks, smoke and flames, helping players better understand the result of their shots in the heat of battle.

Aircraft destruction has received similar attention. When planes are destroyed in the air, they now produce more powerful explosions, while torn-off parts scatter more naturally and leave fiery trails behind them. Small arms bullets can now ricochet off armored vehicles, and the update also improves muzzle flashes, dust from impacts, fire animations and other battlefield effects. Finally, tracers now have a more natural teardrop shape, with thin fading tails, brighter heads and thickness that better reflects the projectile’s caliber. This makes incoming and outgoing fire easier to read.

On PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One, visual presets have been updated to improve image quality while keeping the same FPS target. PlayStation 4 now uses high quality Temporal Hyper Resolution at 1080p, Xbox One switches to 720p upscaled to 1080p with high quality THR, and PlayStation 4 Pro now outputs a 4K image. On PC, ray tracing has received under-the-hood CPU optimizations with better multithreading and caching, improving performance on systems with a weaker CPU and a strong GPU.

More information about Enlisted is available at the official website, or on Steam.

Wargaming, the developer and publisher of the leading naval multiplayer game World of Warships, is celebrating the 250th anniversary of American Independence Day with a wealth of new content as part of its 15.5 update. Players will be greeted with a new Independence Day themed New York port upon login, and can enjoy themed content including a new narrative campaign and Event Pass full of special camouflages, ships, destruction effects, and more. New ship customisation effects are also here in the form of Decals, along with other gameplay changes and enhancements.

World of Warships 15.5 – 250th Anniversary of American Independence Trailer

A Brand New Dawn of a Nation Narrative Campaign

Headlining the update is Dawn of a Nation, a brand new narrative campaign with four unique chapters exploring the history of the Thirteen Colonies and their journey to independence. A new chapter is unlocked weekly, and players that progress through the story over the next month will earn valuable themed rewards, including Historical U.S. commanders John Glover and John Paul Jones, the Betsy Ross flag, American Tier VIII premium cruiser Congress, as well as new enemy destruction effects and a special permanent camouflage for Tier X ships. Progress Tokens can also be earned through activities, granting Dawn of a Nation containers that offer pieces of the campaign’s themed historical collection and award the rare camouflage Minuteman for the Supership Maine.

Celebrate 250 Years of American Independence with a Special Event Pass

The celebrations continue with the 250 Years of Independence Event Pass, rewarding a host of content across two progression lines to complement players’ American fleets. The first progression line, open to all players, includes the Statue of Liberty Commander with an individual voiceover, the Stars & Stripes permanent camouflage, an Artillery Chest container, and the Freedom permanent camouflage for Baltimore as the final reward. For 2,500 doubloons, players can unlock the second progression line and work towards earning the Revolutionary permanent camouflage, U.S. Premium battleship Arizona, the new Old North State permanent camouflage for North Carolina, and the new Thirteen Salvos enemy destruction effect as the final reward. The Go Navy! permanent camouflage for Helena is also received as a bonus reward.

Dive Deeper into Ship Customisation with New Decals

In addition to Independence Day celebrations, update 15.5 introduces Decals, a brand new customisation feature allowing for greater ship personalisation, obtainable via special combat mission containers. Decals include historically-inspired symbols, mottos and other artworks placeable on ship hulls. While they’re currently limited to Tier IX ships, the functionality will be expanded in future updates.

Italian Submarines, Shadow Mapping, and More

Italian submarines Pietro Micca and Pietro Calvi remain available in Early Access as part of this update, allowing players to experiment with the unique Exhaust Smoke Generators native to these stealthy vessels and the Italian tech tree. Each submarine also comes armed with main guns equipped with semi-armor piercing shells, complemented by an improved Main Battery Reload Booster consumable, allowing for powerful attacks on unsuspecting foes.

Improvements to in-game shadow mapping are also here, along with Season 34 of Clan Battles, three new Brawls, and a new Rare Tier X battleship Sete de Setembro arriving in the Armory.

Latest main battle tanks and dozens of other new vehicles are joining the fight

Gaijin Entertainment announces that the next major content update “Heavy Cavalry” will be available for the military online action game War Thunder in mid-June. It will feature the very latest modern MBTs, such as the American M1A2С Abrams, the true knights of the modern battlefield. Dozens of other new vehicles are coming to the game including Yak-130 and M-346FA light combat/trainer aircraft and the immense North Carolina battleship. The game environment, objects, buildings, and roads have been completely redesigned for the classic 38th Parallel and Ash River locations, and a new version of the winter Ardennes map will be added.

‘Heavy Cavalry’ Update Trailer

The M1A2C, the most advanced production variant of the U.S. Abrams main battle tank, arrives in War Thunder as the new peak of the M1A2 line. Building on the SEP v2 family, this modernized Abrams features significantly improved frontal turret protection, making its turret cheeks extremely difficult to penetrate at medium and long ranges, while the researchable TUSK package adds ARAT 2 explosive reactive armor to the hull and turret sides for extra protection against ATGMs. Its firepower is also upgraded with the powerful M829A3 APFSDS round, designed to perform better against certain types of explosive reactive armor, while the U.S. version also gains the XM1147 high-explosive round with a programmable fuse.

The Yak-130 is a compact and highly agile modern Russian strike aircraft, bringing impressive handling, strong thrust-to-weight ratio and a surprisingly diverse suspended arsenal. Developed from the same early training aircraft project that later led to Italy’s M-346 family, the Yak-130 will be joined in the same update by Italian M-346FA, giving players two related but distinctly different aircraft to master.

The Yak-130 is powered by two turbofan engines, capable of reaching around 1,050 km/h at sea level while remaining exceptionally responsive in flight. It does not carry radar or air-to-air guided missiles, but makes up for this with a wide selection of ground-attack ordnance, including several types of unguided rockets, free-fall and TV-guided bombs for precision strikes. Small, fast and easy to control, the Yak-130 should become a dangerous support aircraft for players who enjoy aggressive low-altitude attacks and precise strikes against ground targets.

One of the new features debuting in the update is the addition of arresting gear at ground airfields. An aircraft equipped with an arresting hook attaches to one or more sequentially arranged cables, significantly reducing the landing run on short airfields. Attention to small but important details like this makes War Thunder battles even more realistic with each update. More information on the new content and features in the “Heavy Cavalry” update is available at the official War Thunder website.

Wargaming is proud to announce the release of its new standalone free-to-play tactical vehicle shooter, World of Tanks: HEAT.
