The long awaited Franco-German strike aircraft will soon be available for you to hone your skills on in War Thunder when it arrives in the Alpha Strike major update. Today we’ll be introducing you to this famous European workhorse that has trained generations of pilots!


Features:

• Maneuverable!
  
• Good low speed handling.
  
• Small silhouette.
  
• No guided munitions.

Vehicle History
[expand type=details]
By 1969, both Germany and France had a need for a new generation of jet trainer aircraft to replace their existing inventory of T-33 and Fouga Magister aircraft. It was decided that a collaboration between Dornier and Dassault-Breguet, with the latter first being two separate companies who later merged, had the best potential for a joint TA (Trainer Attack) aircraft over other competing manufacturers and won out the contest with the TA501. 

This aircraft was to satisfy the Luftwaffe’s need to also replace their G.91 aircraft in the attack role, while the Armée de l'Air’s needs were mostly on the training gap that the Anglo-French Jaguar was initially intended to cover, but ended up being a more advanced supersonic conversion / strike aircraft. As such, two distinct versions of what would be the Alpha Jet were formed. The A - Appui / Attack and the E - Ecole / Trainer versions. These would be produced in sub assemblies in Germany, France and also Belgium. 

The first prototype would take to the skies in October 1973 and after many more years of testing and trials, the Alpha Jet would enter French and German service in 1979, going on to be a success story of collaboration between nations. While it still serves to this day with France, the aircraft has also been a huge export success, with multiple nations from Belgium, Portugal and Thailand operating the type, as well as it also being popular with private company operators who use them as aggressor training aircraft in the UK, America and Canada.

Coming in two distinct versions, the Alpha jet will introduce new strike capabilities to the French (E variant) and German (A variant) air trees in the next major update. A versatile platform with reliable flight characteristics and a dual pilot arrangement, this small sized attack aircraft will be a valuable addition to your ground forces lineups. Let’s take a closer look!

The Alpha Jet is a twin engine aircraft arrangement, powered by two SNECMA Turbomeca Larzac engines, enabling this jet to reach speeds of about 1,000 km/h. Swept back wings incorporate a design that allows for excellent low and high speed handling, being a forgiving trainer aircraft, but also a deadly precise subsonic attack aircraft. 



Interesting: Alpha jets are not just used for military purposes. They are also utilized as a popular display act by the distinctive French Air Force display team, the Patrouille de France as well as other display teams like the Flying Bulls display team. The gun pods are often converted to smoke generators and colored dye added to get that distinctive display smoke, just like you can use in War Thunder too!

Those of you who are already familiar with the SK60 and SAAB 105 family of aircraft will already feel at home with this aircraft. The high wing of the Alpha jet means that, despite its small size, it can still carry an array of weaponry choices with some district specifics between each variant. Both offer a range of regular bombs, including 250 kg and 500 kg, as well as rockets with the help of CCIP and CCRP, aiding in the delivery of payloads to ensure they find their mark.





What are some of the core differences? Firstly, the offensive armament is the first major difference, with the German A model sporting a 150 round 27 mm Mauser BK27 cannon that can be found on the Tornado, and the French E model mounting a 30 mm DEFA 553 cannon with 150 rounds of ammunition. To make it easier to line up your shots, both guns are mounted on the center line of the aircraft! Secondly, the E model can also mount two additional 30 mm DEFA 553 cannon pods on the wings, something the A model can’t do. And lastly, the A model can carry 60 countermeasures as well as more rocket pods, both of which the E model lacks.

In your matches by Alex, Aircraft Game Designer: “The Alpha jet is one of the main vehicles in this update, hence the name. I would primarily use this aircraft in ground forces lineups, but you can also use it in air battles thanks to its small size, nimble maneuverability and good cannon. You don’t have any guided bombs, but regular bombs and a CCIP are the perfect combination for flying in low and dropping them onto enemy tanks. Use the 27 mm / 30 mm cannon, to fend off aircraft or shoot at lightly armored vehicles as well.”

Two variants of the Alpha Jet strike aircraft will soon be entering the game in the next War Thunder major update. Take your opponents back to school and boost your ground forces lineups with some CAS support from this small but deadly aircraft! Until the next one, stay tuned to the news for more of what’s to come!

If you're one of those wise-wizards who likes to get down to brass bullets, you can check out our bulleted patch notes for this update!







Bounty of Enemies
The shatter has gotten more dangerous, and a little more crowded. If you track down a bounty you might be surprised at the difficulty of the encounter. Fret not! If you return the proof of bounty to a Bounty Mechana you’ll be rewarded with a treasure any gunsmith would be jealous of.



Bounty of Board
These nasty new inhabitants might be causing a ruckus but there are those looking to clean it up. If you spot a board in your travels, take a peek. You might see a few marks posted for reward! Spending a little arcana will give you the right heading, and you just have to track them down and defeat them.



Bounty Mechana
Now that you have defeated a bounty mark, how do you collect? The Bounty Mechana is your ticket to a pretty new piece of kit! Simply return the proof of the dangerous criminal you have slain (or defeated by other means) and out pops a brand new gunwand! Disclaimer: Bounty rewards vary in quality and type -- so keep collecting to increase your chances of new magic-sticks!



Mysterious Minibosses
Are you an expert arcane alchemist looking for more of a challenge? Do you wander the shatter looking for the next big mark? For the wizards who have completed the game and are looking for an extra challenge, four unique additional bosses await your encounter. Find them hiding away in each biome, and collect their bounty!





Bounty of Guns
The titular star of the show: GUNS! If you thought that bounties would return just any Joshua number, you’re far off the mark. That’s right: over 50 new guns to gather and gawk at – Some are a bit rarer than others. Turn in your precious bounty rewards for a chance to gain any of the following beauties (and more)!



New Gun Types
The keen eyed gunslingers in the crowd may have noticed our new guns contain a few surprises. There are several new firing styles included in the “Bounty of Guns” update. From mortar shots that fly in beautiful arc, to charged shots that deal a large blow of damage there is something for any type of wizard.




Gun Mount
If you are precious about your collection, feel free to show it off in your tower with a sturdy mount. You can even feature classic guns on one of these beauties. Start an entire library dedicated to your collection if you’re brave enough.






Surprise Events
The word has spread of your bounty hunting and several inhabitants of the shatter are also after you. Keep an eye out for airships full of arcana hungry cultists, buried Mechlander hoards, hidden Vulf packs, sunken Phibb herds, or camouflaged crab flocks.





Furniture and Building Visuals
For the wizard with a taste for decor --we've breathed new life into your favorite pieces. With bubbles, sparks, and flowing water we hope that these updates will fill you with the simple delights of home.


Twitch Extension
With the bounty update comes an update to our twitch extension. Twitch chatters can now choose to inhabit a bounty enemy in the shatter, or even a bounty reward! Maybe your favorite chatter will become your new favorite weapon!

Hidden Bush Costume
Shhhhhh.... did you hear that? No? Must have been the wind...



If you're looking to be extra quiet when hunting bounties, we've got the equipment for you! This dashing set can only be obtained via Twitch Drops - so hurry while they're still available!




Shadow Wizard Costume
If you missed our last drops campaign; don't worry -- we're making the "Shadow Money" costume set available to everyone (yes, everyone)! Go forth and legalize destruction bullets (or whatever you kids are doing nowadays)!





Let's take this bounty hunting thing a bit more seriously, shall we?
If you're looking to look professional -- why don't you pick up some DLC to show off your big-bounty-muscles? These three costume sets are available as DLC, and you can get 10% when purchased as part of the Deluxe Edition.

So far this year we've had the pleasure of celebrating the hedgehog and the zebra, but next week it's National Panda Day - and you know what that means. We'll unlock the Bear character and its Panda skin for everyone on March 16 from 00:01 until 23:59, central european time.

Out of all the bears you would most like to meet in a dark alley all on your lonesome, the panda is definitely at the top of the list - at least if you ask me. We love all kinds of bears of course, but the panda is probably the least likely to make a meal out of you since they prefer a diet consisting of bamboo.

It is estimated that there are less than 2000 pandas living in the wild today, their numbers having diminished through the years due to habitat loss, hunting - the usual human stuff. It doesn't help that female pandas are only fertile two or three days a year, making birth rates low. Thankfully there are wonderful people in wonderful organizations that has made it their mission to protect these animals, an important factor being the conservation of their natural habitats.

We hope to see a lot of pandas running around collecting Essence on March 16! Let's celebrate these amazing animals together.

Dear players!
During this week we have received feedback from you! Your wishes and feedback are very valuable to us!

Carved into an arctic glacier lies a subterranean hideout cloaking an ice-cold plot against humanity. Stop an evil scientist and her puffin henchmen intent on perfecting their freeze ray technology.



What is Ice Lair you might ask? Here’s the full frosty itinerary.

In this next installment of the Evil Lair series, your mission is to putt through the icy headquarters of a former scientist mastermind as you attempt to stop her colony of puffin henchmen intent on perfecting their freeze ray technology…

Putt through 18 holes in Easy and 18 on Hard Mode with over 150 puffins as nosey on-lookers, collect lost balls, and complete our most challenging foxhunt yet to enjoy our custom frozen putter!



We’re giddy with ant-ice-ipation. What else is there?

This course introduces 4 new gameplay mechanics:

• A freeze ray to turn a player’s ball into an ice cube.
  
• There are heat pads over which frozen balls can be melted!
  
• Ice on the green for frozen and unfrozen balls to traverse.
  
• Players can now jump frozen balls over obstacles and barriers.

Surely that’s just the tip of the iceberg?

• You’re right! Enjoy 2 new game-wide course settings with this DLC release, including a “Forfeit Hole” (found under Settings > Course), and “Auto Teleport” (found under Settings > Movement).
  
• Dive into updates in the main menu avatar tab, with avatar presets being reorganized to display custom avatars first, followed by predesigned avatars (eg: Ludo, Clam, Robot).
  
• We’re saying so long to the dark blue hair, and introducing a gray hair replacement instead! Light blue hair is still available and PERFECT for this icy backdrop.
  
• There are 25th-course celebratory avatars - a top hat and crown - included in the new update regardless of Ice Lair purchase.

For the first time too, there are additional surfaces the frozen ball can stay “in play” on for added trick shots and tricky workarounds to evil obstacles! Not only that, but there are tons of technical tricks to emulate frozen air, icy water, and the sea life that surrounds the arctic compound. Perfect for the dozens upon dozens of puffins who watch and interact with you, and for the rideable orca whale watching!

Note: Ice Lair release will not be backwards compatible for Multiplayer. Please join us on Discord to discuss this further.



Okay I’m ready! How do I play?

By heading over to our Steam page below, of course! Snow time like the present! Be sure to join in the chilly celebrations on X, Facebook, and Instagram.
