Seek & Destroy: Improvements & Refinements

Vehicles in major updates typically take the limelight, so today we wanted to go through some of the interesting additions, improvements and refinements that you may not have seen that are coming in the Seek & Destroy major update!

German Navy Day: Two Ships and a Decal!

On June 14th 1848, the newly formed German Empire founded a navy to confront Denmark, which had established a blockade on German ports. They took part in only one battle at Heligoland in 1849, but were unable to lift the blockade. In 1849, the empire ceased to exist, and in 1852 so did the navy. This memorable date remained and is celebrated as German Navy Day to this day.

The MiG-21 SPS-K Returns for the Anniversary of the MiG-21’s First Flight!

On June 16th 1955, the first flight of the MiG-21 supersonic jet fighter, developed by the Mikoyan and Gurevich Design Bureau, took place. This is the most mass-produced supersonic aircraft in history: including Chinese variants, the number of MiG-21 units produced reaches 14,000

Vextra 105: Close Fire Support!

The Vextra 105 is a French experimental wheeled combat vehicle, primarily developed for the export market during the 1990s. Soon, this unique vehicle will be making its way to the top of the French ground forces tree in the Seek & Destroy major update!

CV9035DK: The Nordic Gunslinger

The CV9035DK is a later modification of the Swedish CV90 IFV, built for and operated by the Danish military since the late 2000s. Soon, you’ll have the chance to command this unique variant of the CV90, arriving at the top ranks of the Swedish ground forces tree as part of the Seek & Destroy major update!

Eurocopter Tiger: European Anti-Tank Shield

Last decades of the Cold War were a golden age for attack helicopters. Building upon everything learned from the previous generations of multirole vehicles, the US and the USSR military strived for even better performance and capabilities, and they had access to new technologies that could give them exactly that. It was the 1980s when engineers worked on the Soviet Ka-50 and Mi-28, the Italian Mangusta, the South-African Rooivalk and, of course, the French-German Eurocopter Tiger.

F-4F KWS LV (ICE): Arch-Phantom!

Meet the F-4F KWS LV (ICE) which represents the penultimate modification of the legendary F-4 Phantom II in service with the Luftwaffe. Featuring an upgraded radar system and ARH missile capability, the most advanced variant of the Phantom will be arriving at the top rank of the German aviation tree in the Seek & Destroy major update!

Early Access for the French Coastal Fleet: The VLT-2!

Today we’re introducing the VLT-2, a French torpedo boat built and used only in small numbers following the liberation of France at the end of WWII. This boat is arriving as part of the Seek & Destroy major update, becoming the first vessel available in the new French Coastal fleet tree!

Namer 30: Desert Feline

Today we’ll be showing you the interesting Namer 30, an Israeli armored personnel carrier developed on the Merkava chassis, coming to the top ranks of the Israeli ground tree as part of the Seek & Destroy major update!

Special

Italian Navy Day: A Decal and RN Geniere for Golden Eagles!
