Players can experience two distinct campaigns, leading both Italian and British forces through historically significant scenarios. Each mission is playable from both perspectives, offering diverse strategic opportunities.

The DLC introduces new units, including the Italian Moto Guzzi TriAlce motorcycle and British Gloster Gladiator biplane, enhancing tactical gameplay. Players must navigate harsh desert conditions, manage supplies, and adapt to dynamic weather challenges like sandstorms.

Innovative mechanics, such as diminishing core slots and hero-based gameplay featuring historical generals, add depth to the strategic experience. Decisions made in one scenario influence subsequent missions, emphasizing the importance of strategic planning.

broken-arrowSlated to launch in June 2025 and currently the most wishlisted RTS game on Steam, already boasting half a million players who’ve passionately participated in previous multiplayer open betas, Broken Arrow is set to make waves in the real-time strategy genre. Promising to deliver a unique army-building system and deep unit customization tools allowing for endless replayability, each battle will be truly unique and immersive.

Joining the roster is The Stryker Cavalry Regiment. Its mobile units allow for unparalleled pace and lethality, striking opponents with precision, while its armored infantry units bring the firepower deadliness.

Comprising Stryker vehicles, M10 Bookers, truck-based units, plus additional infantry and air support, this specialization deck offers a more transportable force to strike a balance between heavy sheathing and foot soldiers.

In Broken Arrow, the Stryker Cavalry Regiment truly embodies the balance between speed and density. The speed of the Strykers is inferior to the lighter transports of the airborne specialization, but it makes up for this with sheer vigor. Combined with the light-footed ground units, this regiment is frankly a force to be reckoned with.

A deeper dive into The Stryker Cavalry Regiment can be found in this developer deep dive on Steam.

Wargaming, the developer and publisher of the leading cross-platform naval multiplayer game World of Warships, is sailing into March with a new update. The 14.2 update has players looking forward to new Experimental ships, the return of the Operations with Flagships battle type, and Soviet Submarines plunging into Early Access.

Starting March 5th, players eager to take the helm of new vessels will be able to get hands-on with three new Experimental Ships, including Tier VIII French heavy cruiser Metz, Tier IX Soviet cruiser Vyazma, and Tier X American battleship Oregon. Designed for veteran players, each ship begins battles with a fraction of its hit point pool that slowly recovers during combat. Those brave enough to command these vessels can take on a special mission chain to earn Coal for their hard-earned efforts.

This update also sees the return of Operations with Flagships. To keep things fresh, players will see new changes to the formula, as Flagships set a course for destruction on the high seas. With increased health and the ability to buff the ships they are leading into battle, each fight will become more diverse as randomized Flagships, each with various effects and vulnerabilities, seek out players to destroy. This time around, players will be able to increase their odds of survival by using Classified Documents to boost their ship’s battle capabilities.

Finally, underwater ships are on the radar, with new Soviet Submarines joining Early Access. Tier VI Soviet submarine S-1, Tier VIII Soviet submarine L-20, and Tier X Soviet submarine K-1 are all available and ready to dive deep into combat, each equipped with powerful and fast torpedoes, long-ranged Submarine Surveillance, and Fast Damage Control Team. They may lack the speed of other underwater vessels, but on the surface, they’ll pack a punch.

You can find patch notes HERE.

Dozens of new vehicles and visual improvements for the maps are a part of the new update

Gaijin Entertainment announces that the “Hornet’s Sting” major content update for the military online shooter War Thunder will be released in mid-March. Three iconic maps will receive massive visual updates, and dozens of new military vehicles will join the fight. Some of the most interesting additions are the F/A-18 fighter jet, Hopkins Mk.I light tank, and HMS Warspite battleship.

The F/A-18 Hornet carrier-based fighter jet that has been used in most military conflicts where the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps have been involved in, including Libya, the Gulf War and Operation Desert Storm, the Balkans and Afghanistan. In addition to the United States, other countries have operated the F/A-18 Hornet, including Canada, Finland, Australia, Kuwait and some more. It was also widely featured in popular culture, including blockbuster movies.

The Hornet’s Sting update will bring American F/A-18A and F/A-18C variants, as well as Finnish F/A-18C, all of them featuring a bit different set of available weapons and combat systems. One of those is the Walleye II ER/DL guided bomb equipped with a thermal imaging homing head.

The Mk VIII Light Tank, the Harry Hopkins, was designed in late 1941 in order to replace the Mk VII Tetrarch, with the primary goal of increasing the overall armor protection. It features 38 mm of armor on the turret and hull, with the latter having some decent sloping, enough to stop hits from some of the weaker shells, which is more than most light tanks can boast. AP shells of its fast-firing 40 mm cannon can get through a max of 89 mm of armor, and the APHE can be similarly destructive.

Advance to the Rhine, Sinai and Jungle have all undergone major visual overhauls. Artists have replaced the models with better looking and more authentic ones, updated the textures, added more vegetation and decorative elements, while preserving the overall layout and design. For example, a railway and telegraph line have been added between the main combat areas and the water channel in Sinai. The Jungle map also received gameplay improvements, offering more balanced terrain traversal options.

More information on Hornet’s Sting update is available on the official website of the game.
