War Thunder has a multi-level anti-cheat model for dealing with cheaters to ensure a safe gaming environment. You can use the complaint system to send a request to our game masters to check a suspicious player. Use the replay feature on our page to send a complaint about the offender.

Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) support partially prevents players from using illegal software and regular system updates keep an eye on more and more suspicious software so that you can enjoy fair gaming. As a reminder, EAC is active in tournaments and in game modes without markers to eliminate the likelihood of cheaters.

We regularly block users who violate the Terms of Use and EULA. Since January 2023, 261 accounts have been blocked in the game for using prohibited client modifications and today we have decided to publish a list of these offenders in a dedicated forum topic. This list will be available within two weeks of publication.

In addition, during March 2023 we discovered more than 300 episodes of malicious destruction of allies. In these cases the offenders have been automatically blocked for up to 7 days.

Set a strong password for your account and enable two-step authentication in your profile - this will protect your account from fraudsters. Don’t use client modifications and never share your account information with anyone!

Amongst the 43 new as well as updated vehicle models, one can't help but mention the real behemoth - the Char 2C, the agile AH-6M "Little Bird" helicopter or the first French light cruiser; Duguay-Trouin! In addition to all this, the winter version of the location "Seversk", a new location for fans of avionics - Pyrenees, and as always, many improvements and fixes!

The Swiss version of the iconic British Hawker Hunter jet fighter, melding air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles. The Hunter, versatile like never before, will be yours for free for squadron activity points!

Features:

• Air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles
  
• Good manoeuvrability at high speed
  
• Countermeasures

A new squadron vehicle that will hit the hangar pads in the next major update is an export Swiss version of the Hawker Hunter jet fighter as part of the German tech tree with unique weapons and a special camouflage. In addition to the long-awaited countermeasures, the pilots will have access to the air-to-air missiles, as well as export modification of the air-to-surface missiles to destroy ground targets.

The flight performance of the new fighter is generally similar to the British Hunter FGA.9: it is a subsonic aircraft with a mediocre rate of climb. The pros of the Hunter F.58 include a fairly high flutter limit, low energy bleed and good manoeuvrability at higher speeds, which is quite rare for early jets.




The main of the Hunter F.58 is the armament. Pilots will have access to Flz Lwf 63/80 air-to-air missiles ( AIM-9P3 Sidewinder), which exceeds experimental SRAAM missiles in acquisition and flight distances, as well as tracking speed. Also, the new Hunter is capable of delivering more air-to-surface goodness too: conventional and incendiary bombs and unguided rockets are supplemented by the AGM-65B Maverick missiles (known here as the Flz Lwf LB 82).




Look for the Hunter F.58 in the list of available squadron vehicles with the release of the first major War Thunder update this year very soon! Like all other unique squadron vehicles, this aircraft can be obtained completely free of charge, for Squadron activity points, as well as for Golden Eagles.
