This includes vehicles such as the Breda 501 and B1 Centauro, which are excellent examples for Italy’s impressive lineup of fast and powerful wheeled combat vehicles. The Ground Forces of War Thunder have also seen a major addition this update, with almost 30 Italian vehicles from the 1930s to the end of the Cold War now available in-game. On helicopters, which are more limited in their evasion abilities, players can deploy infrared countermeasures for their own protection. A new warning system, which will alert affected players of an incoming attack, will help to do it in time. These early guided missiles, while lethal when striking an unsuspecting enemy, are not very maneuverable and can be avoided by quick evasive maneuvers. Combat at supersonic speed will be subject to War Thunder’s realistic physics model, allowing players to observe the cone-shaped vapor cloud and those on the ground to hear the characteristic “sonic boom”.Īircraft on Rank VI, as well as helicopters, can now be equipped with infrared guided air-to-air missiles as a new type of armament. The first modern jet fighters to join War Thunder will be the American F-100D Super Sabre, the British Gloster Javelin Mk 9 and the Soviet MiG-19PT. The game’s previous five ranks of aircraft have been extended by the new top Rank VI, which will house several new near- and supersonic aircraft armed with guided air-to-air missiles.

With Update 1.85, Aviation in War Thunder has seen the dawn of a new era of air combat. M3 Bradley and Soviet T-72A, as well as new destroyers and light cruisers for Naval Forces. As the game’s most extensive expansion this year, it has added nearly 50 new vehicles including the first supersonic jet aircraft with guided air-to-air missiles, a new Italian ground vehicles tech tree, new modern tanks such as the U.S. Being fitted with only 20 and 35mm of armor plating at its hull and gun mantlet, respectively, means that the vehicle is only immune to low caliber cannon rounds, while incoming fire from bigger cannons will need to be actively dodged by commanders, using the vehicle’s superb mobility.Gaijin Entertainment has today announced the release of Update 1.85 “Supersonic” for the vehicular combat MMO War Thunder.
On the other hand, the CV 90105 TML also inherits the Strf 90C’s arguable greatest weakness, namely weak armor protection.
Thus, the CV 90105 TML inherits the Strf 90C’s excellent mobility, being able to reach a top speed of 70 kph on roads and even managing 45 kph in reverse, thanks to its 550 hp supercharged diesel engine! As such, aspiring commanders of this machine can expect to have more success in engaging hostile vehicles frontally and don’t need to rely as much on flanking maneuvers, thanks to the cannon’s excellent ballistic properties, stabilizer, thermal vision and wide range of potent ammunition types, ranging from HEAT-FS over HESH and going up to APFSDS rounds.Īs far as the other aspects of the vehicle are concerned, they remain mostly identical to the base version. Unlike the fully automatic 40mm Bofors cannon found on the base version of the vehicle, the CV 90105’s 105mm G2 cannon trades rate of fire for gun caliber and accordingly more powerful ammunition. As such, further development of the project was cancelled, although the idea of creating a 105 mm armed Strf 90 version would remain, resulting in a renewed attempt some time later, but that’s a story for another time. Despite proving the project’s viability, the demonstrator didn’t convince any foreign operators to place orders for the newly developed CV 90105. The first and only demonstrator vehicle was ready in 1994, undergoing various trials.

On one hand, this would keep development time and costs relatively low, while on the other hand make the new vehicle more attractive to customers which already operated some of the CV 90 series of vehicles.Īs such, engineers took the hull of the Strf 90 IFV and fitted it with the GIAT TML turret, housing a 105 mm G2 cannon - an upgraded version of the turret used on the successful AMX-10RC. The idea behind the project was to create a capable new light tank as part of the Strf 90 family of vehicles, while using only components which were already available.
Development of the CV 90105 TML began in the early 1990s as a joint venture of the Swedish Hägglunds and French GIAT companies.
