[hr][/hr][p]Patch notes reflect only key changes, meaning they may not include a complete list of all improvements made. Additionally, War Thunder is constantly being updated and some changes may not require an update. Changes reflected in patch notes are formed by taking reactions and requests of the community from the bug reporting service, forums and other official platforms into account. Bug fixes and changes are implemented in order of importance, for example a game-breaking bug will be worked on and implemented sooner.[/p]

[p][/p][p]National Airborne Day was established in 2002 to honor the first parachute landing of the United States Army on August 16th, 1940. American paratroopers received their baptism of fire in November 1942 on the North African front, and their contribution to the Allied victory on D-Day and in the Battle of the Bulge is difficult to overestimate.[/p][p] [/p][h2]The UH-1C XM-30 is temporarily available at a 30% discount for Golden Eagles![/h2][p]The UH-1C XM-30 (rank V) is temporarily available at a 30% discount for 6,237 Golden Eagles![/p][p] [/p][p]When: From August 15th (14:00 GMT) until August 18th (14:00 GMT).[/p][p]Where: USA > Helicopters > Premium vehicles.[/p][p] [/p][carousel][/carousel][p]About this helicopter[/p]

• [p]The UH-1C XM-30 features 30 mm XM140 cannons. It can also take a 40 mm M75 grenade launcher, a 7.62 mm M134 machine gun, BGM-71C Improved TOW ATGMs and FFAR Mighty Mouse rockets into battle. This is a pretty solid arsenal for this type of helicopter, giving it the ability to handle many situations while in battle.[/p]
