Hornet’s Sting introduces the F/A-18 for the USA and Sweden in several variants, along with the Su-30SM for the USSR that features thrust vectoring, enhancing its maneuverability! For ground forces, the Tracked Rapier, CLOVIS and 2S19M1 / M2 take the spotlight thanks to their excellent capabilities. Rhine, Sinai and Jungle have received graphical overhauls, refreshing their visuals, all while maintaining their familiar layouts. Next up for naval forces is HMS Warspite, one of the most decorated warships in naval history! To top it off, the game has had some interface improvements, item recycling and new player profile showcases.
Check out the changelog to see the fixes, vehicles and other features that we’ve included in this major update.
The Hornet’s Sting update adds a variety of top-tier aircraft to several nations.
The highly anticipated F/A-18 Hornet joins the game for USA and Sweden! There’s four examples to choose from: the A variant, the late C variant, and the premium early C variant for the USA, to the Finnish variant for Sweden, built as a pure fighter version. All ready to be used in top-tier jet battles!

Take a look at the Su-30SM, featuring a whopping 12 hardpoints for a multitude of weaponry, plus a new type of engine nozzle mechanic to the game: thrust vectoring!
If you’re a fan of British aircraft, then the premium Harrier T.10 will certainly be up your street. Featuring two cockpit seats, this strike aircraft is a great addition to your lineup in combined battles.
A variety of ground vehicles that span across several nations have been added.
This is the premium CLOVIS, a light tank that features an oscillating turret and an autoloader, joining Germany as a pack vehicle and France for Golden Eagles. The CLOVIS will shape up to be a potent light tank thanks to its quick reload, mobility and scouting abilities!
- Marder Clovis (Rank V, Germany)
- Premium account for 15 days
- 2000 Golden Eagles
If you prefer classic Second World War tanks, then be sure to check out the Harry Hopkins I for Britain, the modified Pz.Sp.Wg.P204(f) PaK for Germany and the AMD.35 (PaK) for France. These three new tanks are rank II, meaning they have access to scouting. Shoot, scoot and have some fun.
The Tracked Rapier features the all-new Rapier missile! This missile is proximity-based and has SACLOS guidance, making it an excellent air defense platform for Britain. Check out the two autoloading howitzers as well — the 2S19M1 and M2 for the USSR as a researchable and squadron vehicle respectively, brilliant for putting plenty of fire down range.
- XM246
- ADATS — visual model has been updated.
We’ve worked on adding new modules to the AH-64, Tiger, Ka-50/52 and Mi-8 helicopters to reduce the amount of “empty space” in them. Fan of the Tiger helicopters? Then check out the Tigre HAD-E that comes as a premium pack for Germany and Tiger HAC for France as a researchable helicopter.

One of the most iconic and decorated warships in naval history has joined naval battles! Meet HMS Warspite, a beastly battleship for Great Britain ready to take on all types of enemies. Additionally, we’ve replaced some reserve boats for the USSR, Germany, Great Britain, Japan and France to ones that feature more effective weaponry so that the early ranks will be a more enjoyable experience for beginners.

We’ve updated the graphics for Advance to the Rhine, Sinai and Jungle! These older and popular maps now look a lot prettier and feel refreshed, all–while keeping their familiar layout. Additionally, Jungle features some minor updates to positions in grid squares B1, E4 and E5.
Maneuver Mode, Thrust Vectoring and Radar Antenna Updates
A new control called “Maneuver and limits mode” that allows you to temporarily go beyond the usual angle of attack limits has been added. This allows you to perform much tighter maneuvers and to get the little-but-so-needed nose authority to launch a missile. But be careful not to stall your aircraft! The new control mode is available on many aircraft already present in the game that had a similar AoA limit override in real life. It also unleashes the full potential of the thrust vectoring system that the brand-new Su-30SM has!
Another top-tier feature in this update is a change to how the radar antenna gyro stabilization works. First of all, you can now control the antenna pitch even when the gyro stabilization is turned off (when the radar scan area moves with the aircraft). Secondly, you don’t need to go to the settings menu to turn the stabilization on or off anymore as there is now a control for it called “Switch Radar/IRST gyro stabilization on/off”. Consequentially, the option to toggle the stabilization has been removed from the settings as it’s no longer needed, but another self-explanatory one has come in its place: “Disable radar antenna gyro stabilization at mission start”. There is also another handy new control — “Reset Radar/IRST direction to boresight”, which quickly centers the radar. Enjoy!
Have items in your inventory that you don’t really need? You can now recycle them in the ratio of 2:1. Select items you want to recycle and they’ll be turned into other random inventory items after clicking the recycle button. There’s also a chance to receive Silver Lions as well.
We’ve added the following player profile showcases to the player card: Vehicle Collector, Ace of Spades, Medalist and Achievement Hunter. These showcases allow you to show off some vehicles of your choice, your number of spaded vehicles, your favorite medals and your hard-earned achievements. Plus, the background set in the Player Profile window now displays when hovering over your name in your friends list.
We’ve redesigned the stat cards for tank gun ammunition, smoke grenades, secondary weapons, plus aircraft and ground vehicle machine guns / cannons with emphasis on the most important values. This for example includes muzzle velocity, penetration and TNT equivalent that are now included at the top of the card so that they’re easy to see at a glance.
One downside to using the Scout UAV was that you had to remain static in your tank, it also renders your vehicle uncontrollable. We’ve looked to improve this aspect of the game, where you can now switch your minimap view to the UAV’s camera view after launching the UAV, essentially becoming picture-in-picture. This allows you to drive your tank around, all while looking at the UAV video feed and going after enemies at the same time, opening up new and interesting gameplay possibilities.
Ground vehicle gun sounds have been updated to sound unique and to have more character, making them sound distinguishable from one another.
If you’ve ever destroyed enemy bombs before they detonated, you’ve potentially done a great service to your team! We’ve now added rewards in the form of Silver Lions, Research Points and Mission Points for destroying enemy ammunition. Plus, a new combat award called “Not on my watch” for destroying an enemy bomb weighing more than 5000 kg (looking at you, Pe-8, Lancaster and Lincoln!) has been added.

What a snooze fest update
"Panther II — the physical night vision devices on the model are now part of the added NVG modification. They are removed from the vehicle by default and can be installed via modification." How about everyone can get it again, so everyone can appreciate this change?
How about no, Mr. richthofen122? :P
Stona_WT, Why couldnt it get a upgraded model that mimics the real panther 2 (the one in america) and let everyone have it once per year like the maus
I feel like the new stat cards for ammunitions are really confusing, some atgm's don't tell you the chemical penetration's only the kinetic
And yet another update with no drop tanks.
I heard on something like Drop Bears, but drop tanks? It's same like Drop Bears from Australia, but lives in America?
It is kinda sad A6M3 is only WWII with drop tanks. And I'm hoping T-2/F-1 family get theirs, quite fetching
When are bombers going to be overhauled? They are useless, there never is cover from team, they are slow, finally reach near target get shot down by lvl 6 player in a fighter. Gunners all at maxed out do nothing. Play planes tier 8 and you get instantly shot down by enemy aa missles without warning or flares...
So we should artificially buff bombers? We do not do that here, sorry. The lone bomber is an easy pray for the fighter. It was always like that, both in game and in reality :( Climb, avoid middle of the battlefield and take your time to drop the payload. This is how I play bombers.
Man the rounds hitting in the picture in picture mode looks amazing.
Now Loner wont have to jump between vehicles for his 10km indirect fires, he can see and adhust live ;)
And this update has finally put my computer out of commission as far as this game is concerned. It's been dangling for the last couple of months, but now it positively freezes every single round. Thanks, Gaijin. You've finally saved me from yourself.
Try from updating your GPU drivers to latest available (for your GPU/OS)
Stona_WT, Software isnt everything. Just ask my 10 year old laptop that literally melts its own casing
Looks good, nice to see.
I hope Loner will be happy with that UAV PIP mode
thank you all for hard work
