[Development] A129 Mangusta

The A129 is the early prototype version of the Italian ‘Mangusta’ attack helicopter, developed by the Agusta company in the early 1980s. Coming to the game as part of War Thunder’s upcoming update 1.93, players will soon have the chance to pilot the menacing Mangusta as the first Italian helicopter in the game!

In War Thunder, the A129 Mangusta International will be the first Italian helicopter to make it into the game as part of update 1.93. Unlike some of the other more recent helicopter additions to War Thunder, the early model of the Mangusta offers a more ‘analogue’ approach to combating its enemies, but make no mistake - carrying all this more ‘conventional’ ordnance is still a highly advanced helicopter, capable of going toe to toe with the top tier opposition.





The A129 Mangusta will be available for purchase to all pilots as part of a special pack in our online store and will also be the first Italian helicopter to be added to the game as part of update 1.93. In the meantime, make sure you stay tuned to the news for more information regarding the next major update coming to the game very soon. Until then, clear skies and happy hunting pilots!
