On top of this, a new map is being added for Ground Battles, called Attica. The map is based on the landscapes and the ancient ruins found in south-eastern Greece.

Of course, the main attractions of this update are going to be the vehicles. Three iconic and powerful aircraft are being added: Eurofighter Typhoon, Rafale, and Su-33.

The Typhoon will be available in the German, British, and Italian tech trees; the Rafale in the French; and the Su-33 as a Squadron Vehicle in the Russian tech tree. The Typhoon is one of the most anticipated vehicles in the game.

The long-requested PzH 2000 SPH is also being added to the game. Moreover, France will be getting a premium helicopter as an addition to the Benelux sub-tree.
