Meet the “Heavy Cavalry” Major Update!

The Heavy Cavalry major update brings a variety of vehicles for all nations, from the Welkin and IA.58A Pucara to the new Abrams variants and USS North Carolina! For ground locations, we’ve improved the visuals of Ash River and Winter Ardennes, all while retaining their familiar layouts. Rewards for aircraft crashing near your vicinity without taking damage, new damage models and MFD screens, man-in-the-loop, and aiming points for salvo firing are some of the features that we’ve worked on in this update to help improve several quality of life aspects of the game.

As the game continues to add new threats, this type of weaponry is becoming increasingly relevant. New SAM systems have been added, and taking them out requires new tools for the job. Plus, you simply can’t do without anti-radiation missiles in Nuclear Escalation! Let’s dive into what they are and how they work.

On June 15th 1955, the MiG-21, one of the most recognizable and mass-produced supersonic fighters in history, took to the skies for the first time. Nearly 11,500 of these aircraft were made. Relatively inexpensive to produce, it was also fast, survivable, and durable, ensuring its popularity worldwide and participation in numerous conflicts. The Chinese J-7 fighter family traces its lineage to the MiG-21.
