Meet Major Update “Air Superiority”!

We’re ending 2023 in style with the awesome Air Superiority major update. Top-tier jets have been added to several nations, some of which include the F-15, the Su-27 and J-11, the Mirage 4000, plus the JAS39. We’ve introduced Rank VIII for ground vehicles, and subsequently new tanks: M1A2 SEP2, Leopard 2A7V, T-90M, VT-4A1, Strv 122B+ and Challenger 3 (TD)! The USA gets the brilliant USS Roanoke and a few other ships come in for other nations, while Volcano Valley is here for aircraft, set in the beautiful peninsula landscapes of Russia. The ability to use universal backups while in battle and tutorial missions for using aircraft missiles have also been added, and we’ve reworked all types of fire graphics for vehicles and burning buildings to make them look better in general.

MiG-29: Soviet Fulcrum

The Cold War led to a huge boost to the development of all types of weapon systems, and combat aircraft were no exception. By the end of the 1960s, the US and the USSR came to the same conclusion: it was time to introduce a new generation of fighter aircraft, the fourth generation, and make it the core of their respective air forces.

Waffenträger: Feisty Weapons Carrier

The idea of a big gun strapped to some kind of a moving platform is almost as old as the idea of artillery itself. In the beginning, guns were moved by horses, and eventually by powerful engines: numerous countries involved in World War 2 relied on special gun tractors to do the job. After sustaining heavy losses, though, the Wehrmacht was forced to rethink their approach to artillery.
