Today Gaijin Entertainment released the newest major update for War Thunder, dubbed “Storm Warning.”
The update will be the last big one of 2024 and comes with a lot of new vehicles for players to enjoy.
The biggest additions are arguably on the air front, with the Dassault Rafale C F3 added to France and the Eurofighter Typhoon in three variations (EF-2000 for Germany, Typhoon FGR.4 for Great Britain, and F-2000A for Italy).
Japan is also getting the Thailand sub-tree with F-84G-21-RE, Alpha Jet A, Alpha Jet TH, F-5A, F-5T SCU, F-16A OCU, JAS39C, A-7E, and AV-8S Late.
Last, and least, the USSR gets the Su-33 as a Squadron Vehicle.

Helicopter fans are also getting detailed cockpits for the Rooivalk Mk1F CSH and Super Hind on the UK side, while France is getting a AH-64D pack.
