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 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.

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.
