We present to you the Italian research tree for combat helicopters. Today we will tell you about the first three of them.



This helicopter is a licensed copy of the American UH-1H "Huey", modified for the needs of the Italian army. The AB 205 A-1 is an entry-level multi-role helicopter armed with miniguns and LS FFAR rockets.







In the early 70’s, the Italian aircraft manufacturer Agusta began testing a new multi-purpose helicopter, the A.109, which was originally created for the civilian market, but immediately drew the attention of the military authorities. A.109 EOA-2 is a reconnaissance version, designed to destroy various targets including enemy armored vehicles. In addition to machine-gun pods and rockets, the helicopter can be equipped with four TOW anti-tank missile launchers.







The modern A.129 attack helicopter is successfully used by the Italian armed forces, as well as by a number of foreign operators. The helicopter has excellent flight characteristics, outstanding speed and superb maneuverability. The CBT modification was created from combat experience in modern armed conflicts. The Mangusta is armed with a 20mm autocannon and carries a good arsenal of unguided and guided weapons, including Stinger air-to-air missiles and Hellfire II ATGMs.

The 1.4.1 update provides many visual and textual fixes and updates to the user interface, as well as enhancements to performance and game balance. However, the primary focus of this update is the implementation of user analytics for Professional, Education, and Enterprise Edition licensees. (For more information, visit our website: https://threatgen.com/red-vs-blue/)

The analytics roadmap has two levels. Level 1 Analytics, rolled out this update, provides the following:

• User statistics (games played with dates, duration, total turns, score, win condition, games won or lost, red team or blue team, games won or lost as each team, human or computer opponent, wins and losses versus each type of opponent, score, successful compromises, and successful detections)
  
• Ability to filter by game, team, and opponent type
  
• Ability to sort by, and easily view, statistics for each match (useful for events, assignments, labs, and competitions)

Level 2 Analytics, available in Q1 2021, will include:

• Individual cybersecurity category scoring and analysis such as governance, ICS security, physical security, security policy, and cybersecurity strategy
  
• Expanded statistics tracking such as actions played, research performed, and assets attacked

1.4.1 Release Notes (Professional Only)

• Added Level 1 Analytics
  
• Added web caching to improve game load time
  
• Added CRC to state packets to minimize “out of sync” issues on unreliable network connections
  
• Added current registered/activated username/email to the settings/about UI
  
• Added copy/paste functionality to activation input fields

1.4.1 Release Notes (General)

• Adjusted game balanced to reduce disproportionate blue team disadvantage
  
• When red team compromises network devices, they can see the connected devices, or devices that device “knows about” (similar result as a host scan)
  
• Added shield icon legend in red team UI
  
• Added current resource pool indicators to the action tree UI
  
• Added copy/paste functionality to all lobby input fields
  
• Changed the “Tech Inspection” action to “Threat Hunting” and made wiki updates, accordingly
  
• Changed “Reset” action wording to “Reboot”
  
• Updated appearance of “Cipher” character
  
• Minor audio bug fixes and updates
  
• Minor visual and text fixes and updates

Professional

• Level 2 Analytics
  
• Educational scenarios and labs
  
• Accompanying curriculums
  
• LMS support
  
• Tabletop exercise mode

General

• Additional network environments

ARK II, Sequel to the Multi-Platinum Dinosaur Franchise has been announced with major moves to expand the iconic survival universe! We’re so excited to share the trailer with you!


ARK II thrusts players into a brutal new world of primitive survival against both beast and man, facing down the ever-present threats of hyper-realistic intelligent dinosaurs, aggressive alien fauna, and the exotic environments of an unearthly planet. Survivors will continue ARK's dramatic eons-spanning story of humankind's evolution, in this next-generation sandbox survival experience!



Catch the Official full length high-resolution trailer featuring Vin Diesel as the hero protagonist, Santiago



Finally, here's a special treat from Gareth Coker, the first two Official tracks from the ARK II soundtrack!





Studio Wildcard has partnered with acclaimed director Jay Oliva (Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox) to executive produce and co-showrun an original animated television series based on the hit video game ARK: Survival Evolved.

Created and executive produced by the game’s creators Jeremy Stieglitz and Jesse Rapczak and associate produced by the game’s product managers, Jatheish K and Ihriel E, ARK: The Animated Series is currently composed of fourteen 30-minute episodes and has two seasons currently in production in anticipation of a 2022 launch.

Marguerite Bennett (Batwoman, DC’s Bombshells, Batman, Supergirl, Batgirl, Josie and the Pussycats) and Kendall Deacon Davis (Halo 4, The Wolf Among Us, Honor of Kings) are the lead writers for ARK: The Animated Series, which features an extraordinary voice cast!



Voice talent and character descriptions, in alphabetical order:

• Gerard Butler plays General Gaius Marcellus Nerva, a brutal ancient Roman despot.
  
• Devery Jacobs plays Alasie, a peppy 17th century Inuit teenager, now finding her place on the ARK.
  
• Cissy Jones plays The Gladiatrix, a formidable commander in Nerva's army.
  
• Madeleine Madden plays 21st century Australian paleontologist Helena Walker, newly awoken on the ARK.
  
• Deborah Mailman plays Deborah Walker, a 21st century Aboriginal Australian activist, and mother to Helena Walker.
  
• Zahn McClarnon plays Thunder Comes Charging, a 19th century Lakota warrior who leads a thriving community on the ARK.
  
• Malcolm McDowell plays Senator Lucius Cassius Virilis, a manipulative aristocrat during the reign of Caesar Augustus.
  
• Juliet Mills plays Chava, a wise healer and village councilmember.
  
• Elliot Page plays Victoria Walker, an idealistic humanitarian aid worker, and wife of Helena Walker.
  
• Ragga Ragnars plays Queen Sigrid, a bellicose 10th century Viking warlord.
  
• David Tennant plays Sir Edmund Rockwell, an egocentric 19th century scientist harboring dark ambitions.
  
• Alan Tudyk plays The Captain, a crusty buccaneer who profitably sails the dangerous waters around the ARK.
  
• Karl Urban plays Bob, a recent square-jawed ARK arrival.
  
• Jeffrey Wright plays Henry Townsend, an 18th century American watchmaker and Patriot spy.
  
• Michelle Yeoh plays Meiyin Li, a 3rd century Chinese rebel leader, known on the ARK by her reputation as the formidable “Beast Queen.”
  
• Ron Yuan plays Han Li, a 3rd century Chinese rebel leader and brother to Meiyin.
  
• With Russell Crowe playing Kor the Prophet, an eccentric ‘dino-whisperer’ hailing from a time before recorded history.
  
• And Vin Diesel playing 24th century ‘Mek’-pilot, gearhead, & freedom-fighter Santiago.

Vin Diesel has joined Studio Wildcard as President of Creative Convergence and will act as executive producer of both “ARK II” and “ARK: The Animated Series.” Diesel will also lend his voice talents as Santiago, a fully rendered hero protagonist, who will cross over from the newly announced video game sequel to the animated television series.

From cutting-edge animation studio Lex + Otis and with music composed by Gareth Coker (Ori and the Will of the Wisps), ARK: The Animated Series chronicles the story of a mysterious primeval land populated by dinosaurs and other extinct creatures, where people from throughout human history have been resurrected. When 21st century Australian paleontologist Helena Walker awakes on the ARK after tragedy, she must learn to survive and find new allies, or die again at the hands of ruthless warlords -- all while trying to uncover the true nature of their strange new world.

ARK fans will recognise many aspects of the lore and witness new depth and development to familiar characters. We can’t wait to share more as we near the airing!



To celebrate our latest news of ARK II and ARK: The Animated Series, we've created some special skins you can obtain in-game. Be sure to view the trailers from the ARK main game menu to get your hands on a cool anime raptor inspired from the animated series, or a hatchet and spear skin inspired from ARK II!
