The BTR-ZD is a light Soviet self-propelled anti-aircraft unit, developed as a makeshift solution based on the design of the BTR-D airborne APC. Coming soon as part of the next major War Thunder update, Danger Zone, the BTR-ZD will join the battle and provide capable air defense for the mid rank units of the Soviet ground forces tree!

Briefly: A compact Soviet SPAAG, featuring excellent mobility and fast-firing 23mm cannons.


Features:

• Rapid-firing 23mm cannons
  
• Good mobility
  
• Lightweight protection
  
• Exposed crew

In War Thunder, the BTR-ZD will be a new SPAA unit arriving in rank IV of the Soviet ground forces tree with the release of the next major update, Danger Zone. Combining a fast-firing automatic AA cannon with a light and highly nimble chassis, the BTR-ZD will be a potent new Soviet skywatcher soon arriving to War Thunder combined battles.



The BTR-ZD comes fitted with a single twin 23 mm ZU-23 anti-aircraft cannon. However, don’t be led astray by its classification as an AA gun as the ZU-23’s high versatility allows it to do much more work than that. Of course, the 23 mm cannons with their high rate of fire make short work of low flying aircraft up to engagement distances of around 2 km. But the cannons can do a lot more than that: thanks to armor-piercing ammunition, the BTR-ZD can effectively engage lightly protected targets and even pose a serious threat to more heavily armored units, if commanders manage to strike their foe in thinly protected areas.

Getting into advantageous firing positions, both for engaging enemy air targets as well as opponents on the ground, should prove to be no challenge for aspiring commanders of the BTR-ZD. That’s because on the one hand the BTR-ZD possesses a low weight of just 9 tons, and a 240 horsepower diesel engine on the other. As a result of this good power-to-weight ratio, the vehicle can reach a respectable top speed of around 60 km/h on paved roads and manages to traverse even more difficult terrain with relative ease. Furthermore, being an amphibious vehicle, the BTR-ZD can also cross deep bodies of water, thus expanding the tactical options for its commanders.




However, being based on the chassis of an APC means that the BTR-ZD doesn’t feature a comprehensive armor scheme. In fact, the vehicle is only fitted with thin aluminum armor plating, giving it enough protection to deflect rifle-caliber fire as well as shrapnel from nearby explosions. That being said, commanders should also bear in mind that the crew operating the anti-air turret on top of the vehicle is also relatively exposed to enemy fire, meaning that the BTR-ZD is everything but well-suited for spearheading an attack on the enemy lines.



The BTR-ZD is soon arriving to rank IV of the Soviet ground forces tree as part of the next major War Thunder update. In the meantime, be sure to stay tuned to the news as we continue revealing what other exciting new features and additions await you in the upcoming update. Until then, happy hunting tankers!

Citizens of Sordland!

May was a month that went by very quickly on our side of things. Since the prototyping and mobile efforts at the beginning of the year, we rested a bit and are now back with the full team again.

A few weeks ago we attended A MAZE Berlin, an independent games festival in Berlin.

It was very inspiring to see old friends who visited from all over Europe and to explore the current experimental games landscape.



On the development side of things, we have been busy with different evaluations and iteration processes on top of the prototype.

These advances in game development are why we don't feel comfortable sharing details about what we are working on too early. We want to reach a certain quality standard for you all before taking further steps.

One of our key focus points was iterating on the core design elements of the prototype and fulfilling the vision, and reaching market standards and higher quality. Several iterations are happening simultaneously, and some will take longer than others.

We have also undergone a massive narrative design overhaul to craft a holistic, coherent and exciting experience. The keywords have been focus, consolidation and calculated iteration.

Suzerain is a straightforward game with a clear outline, and our aim is to reach the same level of clarity for any future projects.

Compared to where Torpor Games started, we are now attracting the top companies in the games industry to the table. There is a lot to do still, but the progress has been excellent, and we can't wait to take you through the journey in more detail.

Until then, keep a close eye on things!



Finally, we love to see the flag of Sordland waving at the Templin Institute Headquarters East.
A morgna her coren!

The flag and other items are available on our merch store.



There will be more news soon on the mobile update and other exciting developments, until then, stay tuned...
