Stormer Air Defence: Aircraft Ablaze!


Today we’ll take a look at the Stormer Air Defence, featuring a new type of turret placed onto a Stormer chassis, providing 25 mm GAU-12U and Stinger firepower against planes and helicopters, plus a 7.62 mm machine gun.

Stormer AD: An SPAA for Great Britain at Rank VII



At a glance:

  • 25 mm GAU-12U cannon with 1,800 RPM, but only 500 rounds in total.
  • 2 x Stinger missiles ready to launch with 6 extras stowed!
  • Stinger missiles include the FIM-92E (default) and FIM-92K (unlocked through a modification).
  • Same chassis as the Stormer HVM with 80 km/h max speed.

Vehicle History
[expand type=details]
The Stormer Air Defence was a technology demonstrator that was first shown at the British Army Equipment Exhibition in 1984. This vehicle was developed by British company Alvis Ltd. in an attempt to create a modular air defence system based on the already proven Alvis Stormer platform. It featured a General Electric Modular Weapon System (also known as a Blazer turret) that could either fit a 25 mm or 30 mm cannon, two Stinger missile launchers, a 7.62 mm machine gun, smoke grenade launchers and a RA-20 S search radar. At least one technology demonstrator was built, but information regarding the amount of interest shown from potential buyers and the fate of the demonstrator is relatively unknown. Regardless, the Stormer Air Defence did not go into production.


Meet the Stormer Air Defence!



This is the Stormer Air Defence, a technology demonstrator created by Alvis that’s capable of taking out helicopters and planes in ground battles, and even some ground vehicles if you’re feeling lucky. A 25 mm GAU-12U cannon is all you need for this, plus some Stinger missiles when your aim with the gun is having an off-day. All coming in the Dance of Dragons major update — let’s take a look!




If you’re a British ground forces player, you’ll understand the lack of guns for SPAAs at the higher ranks on the Stormer HVM and ADATS (M113) for example. You’re not going to lack this on the Stormer Air Defence though, as this vehicle features the 25 mm GAU-12U cannon that has 5 barrels and a rate of fire of 1,800 rounds per minute! For those who have played LAV-AD, you’ll know that this gun is capable of absolutely destroying helicopters and aircraft, however at shorter ranges only; avoid using this gun at longer ranges, as the lack of bullet spread is going to make hitting targets difficult. This cannon is also useful for taking out enemy ground vehicles by shooting them at the sides, especially MBTs and weakly armored IFVs!

That brings us perfectly onto the type of missiles that the Stormer Air Defence has and what can be used for longer ranges. This vehicle features two launchers for FIM-92E or K Stinger missiles that have a launch range up to a max of 5 km, and there’s 8 in total — 2 ready to launch and 6 stowed. These missiles are good for taking down planes and helicopters that are at medium to long distances outside of the cannon’s closer-range capability.




Onto misc features of this vehicle now. The Stormer Air Defence features a ESD RA-20-S search radar, which is capable of tracking targets for firing the Stinger missiles, as well as for auto-locking with the 25 mm GAU-12U cannon. This vehicle also has smoke grenade launchers fitted on the turret and hull, perfect for hiding yourself from several enemy aircraft trying to counter you at once. To round it off, a 7.62 mm machine gun is mounted on the turret, good for knocking down bushes, fences and smaller trees. Obviously you can use the 25 mm for this, but you may not want to do that especially with the low ammo count and it not being a particularly subtle weapon — the less attention you draw to yourself the better!

Did you know? The Stormer chassis was used for a variety of different roles; the anti-air Stormer HVM, Flat-bed Stormer for the Shielder minelaying system, and tech demos such as the Stormer Air Defence (this vehicle!).



The chassis is very familiar to the British ground forces tree. In fact, it’s the exact same chassis that the Stormer HVM uses. Its max speed of 80 km/h is excellent for getting to positions and hunkering down to prey on and ambush enemy aircraft. Its armor is light aluminum alloy and good enough for protecting against small machine gun fire, but any autocannons will shred the 3 crew members — 2 of which are located in the turret that has very low protection values.

One small note on the chassis. The model and visuals themselves are slightly different compared to the Stormer HVM’s — the exhaust goes upwards, the antennas are on the turret instead, and some other misc items, such as fire extinguishers and the mirrors are in slightly different positions. This is in-line with photographs of the Stormer Air Defence at the British Army Equipment Exhibition in 1984.



That’s today’s blog! The Stormer Air Defence is going to provide Britain with some extra and different anti-aircraft fire-power nearer to the top ranks when it comes to the game in the Dance of Dragons major update. The update is close now. Until then, happy battles ahead!

Please note that this vehicle’s characteristics may be changed before it is added to the game.

Antelope: Sky Sword!


Today, we’ll be taking a look at the Antelope, set to become one of the most advanced short-range anti-air systems in the Chinese ground forces tree.

Antelope: An SPAA for China at Rank VII



At a glance:

  • Anti-jam homing missiles, although only 4 in total.
  • Thermal imager.
  • Virtually no armor to speak of.

Vehicle History
[expand type=details]
In 1995, the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST) sought to develop their short range air defense arsenal, especially as their MiM-72 platforms bought from America during the 1980s were showing their age and limitations. The result of this undertaking was the Antelope Air Defense System, which incorporated IR guided SAMs and radar. The setup was able to be operated standalone or mounted on a vehicle, where ultimately a truck chassis was chosen for mass production.  


Meet the Antelope!



Coming to War Thunder in the Dance of Dragons major update, the Antelope will be joining the top ranks of China’s anti-air line, offering quite a unique playstyle and allowing for a smoother transition between the PGZ04A and Tor-M1, where there was previously a sizable gap. Let’s take a closer look!




The Antelope will become the second missile-only platform to arrive to the Chinese ground forces tree. Leaving conventional weapons behind, the Antelope features an integrated missile launcher with four IR-guided SAMs on board. Unlike the missiles found on the preceding PGZ04A, the Antelope’s armament features much greater range, up to 8 km in fact! As a result of this range and the general drastic improvement of the missile itself, its ability to intercept aircraft is very impressive. However, a limitation of the Antelope is that it can only carry a max of 4 missiles with no room to store any extra. What you see is what you get, so make every launch count!




Being on a modified truck chassis, the Antelope boasts excellent mobility. Thanks to its 150 HP diesel engine, this vehicle can reach a top speed just shy of 100 km/h. This makes it very easy to reposition itself after firing — a key element to SPAA is surprise, so engaging from an unexpected position will grant a much higher chance of success, especially if the radar is kept off until the last moment. The speed can also be effectively utilized to head to friendly strategic points to replenish missiles, though be very careful in the open, as the Antelope is entirely unarmored, so make sure you’re not out of cover for too long!




That’s it for today. The Antelope will soon be arriving to the top ranks of the Chinese ground forces tree to bolster the SPAA line in the Dance of Dragons major update. Until then, keep an eye out on the website for more devblogs and news, enjoy your matches and we’ll see you soon for more!

Please note that this vehicle’s characteristics may be changed before it is added to the game.

Speed up your progress with this premium tank, also coming in the next major update:

PUMA VJTF: Claws and Spikes


This is the PUMA VJTF, the most advanced modification of Germany’s latest IFV currently fielded by the Bundeswehr. Featuring upgraded firepower, the PUMA VJTF will soon join the top ranks of the German ground forces tree!

PUMA VJTF: A Light Tank for Germany at Rank VII



At a glance:

  • Excellent mobility!
  • Addition of Spike-LR missiles.
  • Active protection system.
  • Powerful 30 mm autocannon!

Vehicle History
[expand type=details]
In the late 2010s, the Bundeswehr sought to upgrade its PUMA IFVs to the latest technological standard. In 2021, the official approval for the modernization of 40 PUMAs was obtained. The new variant would feature the implementation of the Spike-LR ATGM and enhanced communication systems among other upgrades with a target deployment date for the vehicles being set for 2023. The vehicles form two platoons of the Bundeswehr and are dedicated to the German element forming the NATO Very High Readiness Joint Task Force 2023 (VJTF). Future plans include the modernization of all PUMAs in the Bundeswehr’s stock to be upgraded to this standard.


Meet the PUMA VJTF!



The PUMA is currently the most advanced IFV available to Germany, both in real life as well as in War Thunder. This is soon to change however in the Dance of Dragons major update! With the introduction of the PUMA VJTF, the German ground forces tree will gain access to the most advanced modification of the PUMA to date, most prominently featuring additional firepower. Let’s check out today’s devblog!




Representing one of the most modern German combat vehicles available in the game at the moment, the arrival of the PUMA VJTF will bring with it a new top dog to the German ground forces tree! Inheriting much of what the standard variant of the PUMA is already well known for, this upgraded variant of the vehicle most notably features upgrades to its firepower — more specifically, the addition of a twin barrel MELLS launcher. These represent the German designation of the Spike-LR, already familiar to top rank battles. The addition of these missiles further increase the PUMA’s combat effectiveness as the ATGMs extend its reach, allowing it to strike even heavily armored MBTs at great distances. Additionally, thanks to the missile’s fire-and-forget targeting system, you might even dare to engage incoming enemy aircraft and helicopters if you’re feeling lucky!

Did you know? The PUMA armored infantry vehicle program was formerly known as Igel — a Hedgehog in German.




Apart from the addition of a Spike launcher, the PUMA VJTF remains quite similar to the base model, retaining its sleek profile, excellent mobility and advanced active protection system. However, if you’re going to be playing this vehicle, be aware of its shortcomings, mainly found in its armor, being only light protection when excluding the ERA elements found integrated within the hull of the PUMA’s sides.




The most advanced modification of the PUMA IFV will soon be coming to War Thunder in the Dance of Dragons major update at rank VII in the German ground forces tree. In the meantime, stay sharp as we continue releasing more news articles covering the exciting new additions awaiting you in the upcoming update. Until then, good hunting tankers!

Please note that this vehicle’s characteristics may be changed before it is added to the game.

Following the Roadmap: Customizable Tank Reticles!


Video produced on the dev server. Final results may differ.

Our 2024 Roadmap included several interface improvements, and one of them was new reticles for modern tanks with improved elements of the tank’s gun sight systems. Today, we’re pleased to present it to you, not just in an updated form, but in a deeply customized form as well. This new feature will come to the game in the Dance of Dragons major update — let’s take a look!

A new option called “Sight settings” has been added to the Ground vehicle Battle Settings. When clicking on this button, you can create your own configuration of interface elements displayed in the gunner’s sight. Configurations that you create can be saved to individual vehicles or to every vehicle at a selected rank of a specific nation at once so that you don’t have to create a sight for each vehicle one by one. Plus, you can also use any sight on any vehicle in the game (yes, that means you can use the modern US sight on a T-34 if you want!).

The following elements can be customized:

  • Grid sight. You can either select it from the grids already available in the game, or install a custom sight downloaded to the /UserSights/ folder located in the game directory
  • Rangefinder indicator
  • Turret rotation indicator
  • Sight field of view indicator at maximum zoom
  • Shot readiness indicator (shows readiness status and reload time)


Interface elements that do not affect aiming can be easily and conveniently dragged around the screen with your mouse cursor. Each element can be viewed in different modes: day, night, with a night vision device or with a thermal imager.

Learn how to install and create sights

This is just the first version of the customizable aiming sights that will be coming to the game in the Dance of Dragons major update. New elements and additional settings may be added in the future. In the meantime, tell us what you think about this new feature on the official forum or on our social networks!

Pre-order: AV-8B Night Attack


Today, pre-orders for this special variant of the AV-8B Harrier VTOL strike aircraft with thermal imaging have started!

AV-8B Night Attack: A Premium Naval Strike Aircraft for the USA at Rank VII



Features:

  • A huge variety of weaponry, including JDAMs!
  • Thermal imaging!
  • VTOL capability but relatively slow speed.
  • Fantastic versatility in both air and ground battles.

Vehicle History
[expand type=details]
In 1989 to support the U.S. Marine Corps during both day and night, a special version of the VTOL AV-8B Harrier was developed, NA standing for Night Attack. This version differed from earlier modifications with the addition of the NAVFLIR (Navigation Forward-Looking Infrared) system, the cockpit was configured for night vision goggles, and an upgraded Rolls-Royce Pegasus engine was installed. This modification also involved upgrading existing AV-8B models to the AV-8B Night Attack standard. Still in service with the U.S. Marine Corps today, this variant participated in most military operations involving marine aviation from the late 20th to the early 21st century.

Introducing the AV-8B Night Attack!



Say hello to this special variant of the much loved Harrier, one of the most effective strike platforms for ground battles — the Night Attack (NA) variant, designed to support U.S. Marine Corps around the clock, night and day! This unique variant will be coming to the game when the Dance of Dragons major update is released, but today pre-orders for a special bundle containing the aircraft, unique pre-order bonuses and Golden Eagles and Premium time have started. Let’s take a look!



Representing one of the most advanced variants of the carrier based Harrier, the AV-8B (NA) will be quite familiar to those already accustomed with top-tier American or British aircraft. The real key feature of this variant is its thermal imaging mode, available even without a targeting pod — although it will only point forward. The Night Attack variant comes equipped with the F402 engine (the U.S. designation for the Rolls-Royce Pegasus) with familiar thrust vectoring capabilities. This aircraft is excellent for ground striking thanks to its great bomb load and wide array of ordnance. Make sure to take care though when approaching the battlefield as its speed is still relatively low, you’ll have to utilize its high maneuverability and large supply of countermeasures — 180 of them to be precise!



With the right pilot behind the controls, the AV-8B (NA) is a truly formidable force in ground battles, where its VTOL capabilities really come into play, sort of becoming a cross between a typical strike aircraft and an attack helicopter. It can hover behind terrain and surprise enemies, and swiftly rearm close to the battlefield from helipads.

At the core of any AV-8B loadout is the classic 25 mm GAU-12/U cannon. Much like the AV-8B Plus, the AV-8B (NA) has no in-built gun, only being able to carry one under the fuselage. As this variant is at a lower rank and battle rating, it lacks radar guided missiles and the top tier AIM-9M. However, it can still carry four of the highly maneuverable AIM-9L missiles, which are more than sufficient for any dogfight at its rank, as well as easily combating enemy helicopters. 



Thanks to its onboard electronics, the AV-8B (NA) excels with unguided weapons, being able to carry a wealth of free fall, drag and napalm bombs, along with Zuni and Mighty Mouse unguided rockets. Although, the real highlight is of course the guided weaponry! You can choose from precision guided bombs like the GBU-12 (up to ten) or the GBU-16 (up to four) which require the LITENING II targeting pod. The major update will also be introducing GPS-guided bombs, with this Harrier being able to equip up to 10 GBU-38 JDAMs. And finally, it can also equip some excellent air-to-ground missiles! Up to 4 AGM-65G or the new AGM-65E2 missiles can be carried, making this Harrier exceptionally versatile.



The pre-order for the AV-8B Night Attack pack is only available for a few more days, give it a look and pick it up for some exclusive cosmetic content, along with Premium time and a lot of Golden Eagles. Don’t miss out!

Please note that this vehicle’s characteristics may be changed before it is added to the game.

Steel Baron: HMS Barham


Unrivaled in its time and one of the first representatives of a class of fast battleships, HMS Barham is the main reward for the Steel Baron naval event!

HMS Barham: An Event Vehicle Battleship for Great Britain at Rank VI


At a glance:

  • Deadly 381 mm guns!
  • Good armor protection.
  • One of the best top speeds amongst British battleships.
  • Very weak AA defense, just two 76 mm cannons.



Vehicle History


[expand type=details]
Queen Elizabeth-class battleships were revolutionary for their time, with two key differences making them unrivaled in combat performance for many years. Firstly, the most powerful main battery with a rate of fire of two rounds per minute, which allowed them to destroy any potential enemy, and secondly the power plant with oil boilers, which provided these ships with high speed. The armor also took a step forward compared to other British ships, and the class was considered so successful that the Admiralty suspended the production of battlecruisers in favor of building another Queen Elizabeth-class battleship.

HMS Barham was launched in the autumn of 1914 and commissioned a year later. Barham took part in the famous Battle of Jutland as part of the 5th Battleship Squadron, attached to Beatty’s battlecruisers. During the interwar period, HMS Barham carried out patrols and took part in exercises. She also took part in active military operations during WWII from the first days after its outbreak, mainly in the Mediterranean. On November 24th 1941, while escorting a Maltese convoy, HMS Barham was torpedoed by German submarine U-331. Three torpedoes hit Barham, causing a fire and detonation on board. The moment of the tragic death of hundreds of sailors and the sinking of HMS Barham as a result of a huge explosion was captured on newsreel footage filmed from battleship HMS Valiant.




Meet HMS Barham!


Meet the main reward for the Steel Baron naval event, which was probably the best battleship in the world at the time of its inception, the mighty HMS Barham! This battleship features powerful armament and a good top speed, all coming to rank VI in the British Bluewater fleet tree. Let’s take a closer look.

Like the other four Queen Elizabeth-class ships, HMS Barham is armed with 8 x 381 mm (15 inch) guns in four turrets, with a rate of fire of two rounds per minute. In terms of auxiliary caliber weapons, HMS Barham features 14 x 152 mm (6 inch) guns in single-barrel mounts, with seven per side. As you may have already figured out, this is one of the most powerful ships in the game, capable of sinking any enemy ship with a few accurate salvos. The main caliber guns have shells that weigh a massive 871 kg, the SAPCBC and APC, both great for dealing with thick enemy battleship armor, with the APC featuring good post-pen effects.




For armor, HMS Barham is well-protected. The thickness of the armor belt and front turret reaches 330 mm, which, together with the well-protected barbettes and large crew size make HMS Barham very survivable and capable of quickly eliminating fires and leaks. One signature feature of the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships is their oil boilers, which allow them to accelerate to 24 knots (44 km/h). This is very good compared to other Royal Navy battleships and one of the best among other early battleships in other nations.



HMS Barham has a few disadvantages though, one of which includes its weak AA capability. Only 2 x 76 mm guns are defending Barham from aircraft which are unlikely to be of much use against a good pilot. Another disadvantage is her very slow horizontal aiming speeds of the main turrets, meaning HMS Barham won’t be able to react quickly and attack ships that are firing at her from several directions. Keep your distance to ensure that you have the widest possible view of the open sea, and plan your route in advance. And lastly, if you do need to get involved in close-range combat, four 533 mm underwater torpedo tubes with 20 torpedoes are there to help.



HMS Barham is the main reward in the Steel Baron event that started today. Check out the link below for all the terms and how to participate in this event to earn yourself this awesome battleship!

Squadron Vehicles: CV9035NL


Meet the CV9035NL, a Dutch modification of the CV90 IFV, developed specifically for the export market.

CV9035NL: A Squadron Vehicle Light Tank for France at Rank VII



At a glance:

  • Potent 35 mm autocannon!
  • Good mobility.
  • Laser warning system.
  • Add-on armor, making it slightly heavier than the CV9035DK.

Vehicle History
[expand type=details]
Following the development of the CV90 Mk III, many countries adopted the vehicle into their military. Among these operators was also the Dutch army, which placed orders in 2004 and obtained up to 193 vehicles by the time the last units were delivered in 2011.


Meet the CV9035NL!



This is the CV9035NL, another unique variant of the CV90 family of IFVs that are already familiar to the game. Arriving as a new squadron vehicle to the French ground forces tree with the release of the Dance of Dragons major update, the CV9035NL will further diversify the French top tank lineups. Let’s take a further look!




For those of you who have already had a chance to play the CV9035DK, the CV9035NL will feel right at home as both vehicles share nearly identical specifications. The most noticeable difference distinguishing the two vehicles from one another is the presence of upgraded add-on armor for the Dutch variant’s sides and roof. While this effectively has increased the vehicle’s side protection against shrapnel and high caliber machine gun fire, it also adds weight. As a result of this, the Dutch modification of the CV9035 possesses slightly worse mobility, making itself noticeable in the vehicle’s slightly slower acceleration due to the decreased power-to-weight ratio. Additionally, the CV9035NL comes equipped with a laser warning system, increasing crew awareness of missile threats both from enemy ground vehicles and aircraft.




You’ll be able to obtain the CV9035NL either through squadron activity points or by purchasing it with Golden Eagles. In the meantime, be sure to stay tuned to the news as we continue to keep you posted on all the latest developments surrounding the upcoming update. Until then, happy hunting tankers!
