00:29 - Hello, friends.
00:42 The summer heat is slowly fading away,
00:44 but War Thunder is ready to warm you back up
00:47 with the first fall update this year,
00:49 the Sons of Attila.
00:50 It brings improved visual effects, unique mechanics,
00:54 and, of course, numerous long-awaited vehicles
00:56 for various nations.
00:58 But there's one thing we'd like to say before we begin.
01:01 Please welcome a new nation, Hungary.
01:04 Their armored vehicles will fit into the Italian tech tree
01:07 to reinforce your lineups across all BR ranges,
01:11 from the very lowest to high tiers.
01:14 We've been working hard
01:15 to improve the realism of War Thunder,
01:17 and this time around,
01:18 we'd like to introduce a few new mechanics.
01:21 External ammo on armored vehicles,
01:23 like smoke grenades and suspended armament on aircraft,
01:26 is now entirely destructible.
01:29 Depending on the impact force,
01:30 a hit will lead to various results.
01:33 Destruction of the impacted ammo with no explosion,
01:36 a fire, or detonation.
01:39 And that's not all.
01:40 You can now destroy decorations
01:42 and bushes mounted on vehicles.
01:44 For top-tier aircraft enthusiasts,
01:48 we've prepared new voice warning systems
01:50 in various languages.
01:51 Soviet and Russian crews often refer to it as "Rita",
01:55 while "Betty" is the popular American nickname.
01:58 A female voice will now warn a pilot about G overloads,
02:02 critical angles of attack, an imminent ground collision,
02:05 low fuel, and many other important factors.
02:08 We hope this will improve your immersion
02:10 in air battles.
02:11 The visual aspect of the game has been refined, too.
02:16 We added new effects for exhaust fumes on gun barrels,
02:19 fuel leaking from damaged tanks can now burn,
02:22 and trees now have more realistic foliage.
02:25 The graphics overall have also been improved,
02:28 thanks to dynamic visual effects
02:29 that change based on the lighting conditions.
02:32 This time, the parade of new vehicles
02:35 will begin with the most unique Hungarian newcomers.
02:38 And the first is the Chaba light armored car.
02:42 A powerful engine can propel this six-ton machine
02:44 to 65 kilometers an hour, both forward and in reverse,
02:49 while its semi-automatic 20-millimeter anti-tank rifle
02:53 can destroy targets with APHE rounds.
02:56 The top of the Hungarian branch
02:57 can now boast the KF-41 Lynx IFV.
03:02 This vehicle is armed
03:03 with a two-plane stabilized 30-millimeter autocannon
03:07 with APFSDS rounds, as well as a dual ATGM launcher
03:12 that utilizes the fire-and-forget Spike missiles.
03:15 American and Israeli skies are now protected
03:19 by improved Chaparral air defense systems.
03:22 They're armed with SAMs based on the Sidewinder missiles.
03:26 Four of those are ready to go,
03:28 and eight more are waiting for their turn inside the hull.
03:32 Another hot and, dare we say, smoking hot vehicle
03:36 is the Soviet flame tank based on the T-55.
03:40 It has a flamethrower on the right side of the turret,
03:43 and the ammo rack next to the driver
03:45 has been replaced with a tank for the incendiary mixture.
03:48 And don't worry, it still comes equipped
03:50 with the standard 100-millimeter cannon,
03:52 so the firepower has only been improved.
03:56 We have something new for the pilots, too.
03:58 The legendary Mi-8 helicopters have arrived to War Thunder.
04:03 Two powerful turboshaft engines
04:05 allow it to carry a large payload
04:07 consisting of guided missiles, conventional and napalm bombs,
04:10 as well as a record number of rockets for a helicopter, 192.
04:15 Another rotorcraft has been added
04:19 to the US and Chinese tech trees.
04:21 The Bell OH-58D Kiowa Warrior
04:25 is a strike version of the light multirole helicopter.
04:29 It features a guidance system
04:30 conveniently placed above the main rotor hub,
04:33 and it's armed with rockets and laser-guided missiles
04:35 for ground targets,
04:37 while a set of Stinger missiles protect it against enemy air.
04:41 And finally, here are the new top-tier jets.
04:45 The US Air Force has received a new F-16, Modification C.
04:50 It has a helmet-mounted display,
04:52 a more powerful engine, a modern radar,
04:55 and an impressive choice of suspended armament,
04:57 including laser-guided munitions.
05:00 On the other side of the planet,
05:02 we have the MiG-29 SMT.
05:05 This new vehicle has a larger fuel capacity,
05:08 an advanced radar, and cutting-edge weaponry.
05:11 The latter includes the R-73 and R-27ET air-to-air missiles,
05:16 as well as air-to-surface TV-guided ordnance.
05:21 The top ranks of Italian aircraft have been reinforced
05:24 by the AV-8B+ Harrier attack aircraft.
05:28 Its arsenal includes conventional bombs and rockets,
05:31 and, of course, guided air-to-air
05:34 and air-to-surface munitions.
05:36 As always, this is not an exhaustive list
05:40 of everything we're adding with this update.
05:43 War Thunder will now have rank 6 for naval forces,
05:46 and some existing top battleships and cruisers
05:49 will move there.
05:50 We're also adding numerous other vehicles,
05:53 like a new top Leopard, the 2S1 Kvazdika SPG,
05:57 and the Israeli two-seater F-16.
06:01 See some of them in the next shooting range this Sunday.
06:04 As usual, the full changelog is available
06:07 on our official website.
06:09 Please subscribe to our channel, enjoy the new vehicles,
06:12 and don't forget to share your thoughts in the comments.
06:15 See you!
