Anti-radiation missiles, electronic support measures, and dozens of new vehicles arrive in the new update
Gaijin Entertainment announces the release of Heavy Cavalry, a new major content update for the online military action game War Thunder. The update brings dozens of new ground, air and naval vehicles, including M1A2 SEP v3 and Т-90M Arena-M MBTs, introduces anti-radiation missiles and electronic support measures to expand high-tier combined battles, and adds new machines for many nations, including Indonesian Leopard 2RI, Argentinian IA 58A Pucará and Serbian J-22M1A Orao. Naval battles are reinforced as well, with the German warship Admiral Scheer joining the fleet.
One of the headline features of Heavy Cavalry is the arrival of anti-radiation missiles and electronic support measures. These new tools give pilots a specialized way to hunt radar-guided air defense systems. Anti-radiation missiles are designed to detect enemy radar emissions and guide themselves toward the source, while ESM equipment helps pilots locate signal sources, select targets and provide missile guidance. The first wave features weapons such as the AGM-88 HARM, AS-37 ARMAT, ALARM, YJ-91, CM-102, LD-10, and Soviet Kh-family missiles, including a ramjet-powered model.
Aviation fans can now take the IA 58A Pucará into battle, the first domestically designed and produced Argentine aircraft to appear in War Thunder. This compact twin-turboprop ground attack aircraft combines 20 mm cannons, machine guns, bombs, rockets and even a torpedo option. While not fast, the Pucará is agile, responsive and well suited for close air support, especially in Ground Battles where its flexible payload can be used against a wide range of targets.
