A herd of tanks stops in its tracks, a flock of planes cease pecking at carrion – something’s happening in War Thunder. It’s nothing to worry about, though. War Thunder’s just been hit with a massive update.
Cold Steel throws a whopping 20 new vehicles, air and ground, into the mix, and the first winter map, set in Finland, can now be fought in by lots of angry tanks.
A new map, new missions for aircraft, both realistic and arcade, and lots of changes to things like damage and flight models, weapons and ammo –Cold Steel is a mighty big update.
There’s more, too, in the form of a new game mode: Enduring Confrontation. Expect long battles, as players will have unlimited respawns and victory can only be achieved by completing the objective stated at the start of the match. “[P]otentially the game can last for hours,” says Gaijin Entertainment.
