Gaijin Entertainment has announced that in mid-March a major update titled “Ninth Wave” was released for War Thunder. It introduces the ninth era and cutting-edge generation 4+ aircraft such as the F/A-18F and Su-30SM2. The update also adds Hungarian aircraft, redesigned classic maps like “Stone Fortress” and “Ardennes,” and dozens of new ground vehicles, aircraft, and naval units, including the American destroyer Helm, which was among the first to fight the enemy at Pearl Harbor.
The Australian F/A-18F Super Hornet is a two-seat modification of the famous fighter-bomber, capable of carrying a large number of radar-guided AMRAAM missiles for long-range air combat as well as an extensive air-to-ground arsenal. These aircraft were delivered to the Royal Australian Air Force between 2010 and 2012 and were used in Iraq in 2014.
Hungarian combat aircraft will be added to the Italian research tree, starting with the Héja I and II fighters, based on the all-metal Reggiane Re.2000 monoplane from World War II. The Héja I features an 8 mm steel rear armor plate, slightly increasing weight but significantly improving survivability. In the Héja II, Hungarian engineers installed a new domestically produced engine system, redesigned fuel tank placement, and mounted Hungarian Gebauer 1940.M GKM heavy machine guns with a higher rate of fire.
War Thunder receives ninth-era jet aircraft
Stone Fortress, one of the earliest ground battle maps in War Thunder, has been completely rebuilt from the ground up according to modern graphical standards, with rich visual detail while preserving the layout familiar to veterans. A similar visual overhaul has been applied to the Ardennes map, where abandoned artillery positions, collapsed buildings, and autumn-colored trees now look significantly improved, while all routes, flanking paths, and terrain layout remain unchanged. Several gameplay innovations have also been introduced: abandoned vehicles (bulldozers and tractors) can now be used as temporary mobile cover by pushing them forward.
The M1296 Dragoon is an American combat vehicle based on the Stryker platform, equipped with a new unmanned turret featuring a 30 mm XM813 cannon. Its shells can effectively destroy light vehicles and helicopters and can even penetrate the side armor of any main battle tank. The wheeled chassis allows it to reach speeds of up to 100 km/h on hard surfaces, enabling fast maneuvering and flanking.For more information, visit the War Thunder website.

🏟️ What Is Stadium Mode?
Stadium is a brand-new game mode set inside a massive futuristic sports arena, specially designed for high-energy team clashes.
Big news for Overwatch 2 fans: Blizzard has just launched Stadium, an exciting new mode that’s shaking up the gameplay experience!
If you thought you’d seen everything Overwatch had to offer, think again — Stadium is bringing fresh energy, new strategies, and plenty of fast-paced fun to the table.
Let’s break down everything you need to know about this thrilling addition.
Unlike traditional Overwatch maps, Stadium isn’t about capturing points or escorting payloads. Instead, it mixes elements of sports, combat, and pure tactical chaos in a way that's both fresh and familiar.
⚡ How Stadium Changes the Game
- Dynamic Objectives: Unlike standard modes, Stadium's goals shift mid-match. You might be chasing a moving objective, racing to score points, or defending a temporary base — and then it all changes again!
- Special Power-Ups: Scattered around the map are unique boosts — speed, shield, damage — that can flip the match in an instant.
- Arena Hazards: The stadium isn’t just for show. Expect moving platforms, energy walls, and random environmental events that force players to adapt on the fly.
- Shorter, High-Intensity Matches: Perfect for quick bursts of play or for players who love fast, intense rounds without the long grind.
🧑🤝🧑 Best Heroes for Stadium Mode
Some heroes are absolute beasts in Stadium thanks to their mobility and adaptability. Early favorites include:
- Lucio: His speed boosts are game-changing in such a movement-heavy mode.
- Tracer: Quick blink abilities let her dominate in chaotic environments.
- Sigma: His shields and area control work wonders when objectives are shifting constantly.
- Wrecking Ball: Mobility is king — and Hammond is the king of movement.
That said, the beauty of Stadium is that almost any hero can shine with the right strategy and teamwork.
🎉 Why Players Are Loving Stadium
Since its launch, Stadium has been a breath of fresh air for the Overwatch 2 community.
Players love the unpredictable, high-energy battles, and the emphasis on adaptability over rigid team comps.
It’s a chance for casual players and hardcore fans alike to experience Overwatch in a new light — more playful, more chaotic, and wildly fun.
🏆 Final Thoughts
Overwatch 2's Stadium mode proves that Blizzard is still willing to take risks and innovate within the beloved franchise.
Whether you're a competitive veteran or a casual player looking for something new, Stadium offers fast thrills, epic moments, and an awesome excuse to jump back into the game.

⚡ Classic Formula, Modern Shine
At its core, Tempest Rising is pure, unapologetic RTS. Base-building. Resource gathering. Army management. Tactical micromanagement during intense battles.And crucially: it feels fast and responsive. No sluggish unit pathing. No frustrating controls. Just tight, old-school gameplay brought into the 2020s.
If you grew up commanding armies in Command & Conquer or Red Alert, then Tempest Rising will hit you right in the nostalgia.
Developed by Slipgate Ironworks and published by 3D Realms, Tempest Rising is a real-time strategy (RTS) game that proudly wears its old-school influences on its sleeve — but with enough modern polish to keep it feeling fresh.
So, does it deliver the adrenaline rush and tactical depth that RTS fans crave? Let’s dive in.
Graphically, the game strikes a nice balance. Units and buildings are detailed without being overdesigned, making it easy to read the battlefield at a glance — critical for high-speed RTS play. Explosions are satisfying, energy weapons light up the screen, and the environments (especially the lush green battlefields and ruined cities) are atmospheric without getting in the way.
🛡️ Factions and Strategy
Tempest Rising features three factions, each offering distinct playstyles:
- The GDF (Global Defense Force): Traditional military forces with tanks, aircraft, and balanced units.
- The Tempest Dynasty: A mysterious high-tech faction with experimental weapons and fast strike capabilities.
- A Third Faction (yet to be fully revealed): Based on early previews, it promises even crazier tech and tactics.
Each faction has its strengths and weaknesses, forcing players to adapt strategies depending on who they're facing.
Base-building is crucial: deciding whether to invest in defenses, tech upgrades, or rushing units adds that sweet, nail-biting decision-making that RTS fans love.
🧨 Campaign and Skirmish Modes
The single-player campaign does a great job of introducing new mechanics without overwhelming newcomers, while still offering veterans plenty of challenge.
Missions are varied — from full-scale assaults to stealthy infiltration objectives — and feature cinematic storytelling that, while a little cheesy at times, captures the classic '90s RTS vibe perfectly.
Skirmish mode against AI is robust, with multiple difficulty settings. Multiplayer promises to be a highlight, though matchmaking balance will be key as the player base grows.
🎯 What Tempest Rising Does Right
✅ Fast, fluid gameplay that respects your time
✅ Distinct factions with meaningful strategic differences
✅ Beautifully readable, functional graphics
✅ A true “spiritual successor” to Command & Conquer — without feeling like a cheap clone
✅ Strong potential for competitive play and multiplayer longevity
❌ Minor Drawbacks
- Not much genre innovation: If you're looking for radical new RTS ideas, Tempest Rising plays it pretty safe.
- Cheesy dialogue: Charming for some, cringy for others. Your mileage may vary.
- Limited factions at launch: Hoping future updates or DLCs will expand the roster.
⭐ Final Verdict:
8.5/10 — Tempest Rising is a must-play for anyone craving a return to classic RTS greatness.It may not reinvent the genre, but it absolutely revives it — with tight mechanics, strong faction design, and satisfying tactical depth.
If you miss the glory days of Red Alert and Tiberian Sun, this is your next battlefield.
