War Thunder Update 2.57.1.132 Adds Nuclear Su-17M4 Aircraft and Jaguar A Countermeasures
The update replaces the Su-7 in both Nuclear Escalation Battle Rating brackets and corrects long-range SAM targeting behavior.
War Thunder Update 2.57.1.132 adds nuclear weapon-carrying Su-17M4 aircraft to Nuclear Escalation and gives the Jaguar A countermeasures. Gaijin Entertainment detailed the changes in its official announcement.
The USSR and China versions of the Su-17M4 replace the Su-7 in both current Battle Rating brackets. Gaijin also plans to add a Jaguar A without countermeasures to the lower bracket in the near future. Once that happens, the USSR and China Su-7 aircraft will return to that bracket.
Long-range surface-to-air missile systems receive a targeting fix as well. They should no longer fire several missiles at the same target or switch away from higher-priority targets. Nuclear Escalation had already received revised air defenses and 2 new Battle Rating brackets in the earlier Nuclear Escalation changes.
