Welcome to my user page.  My username is '''thunderdog1138''' (wordplay of thunder and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underdog_(TV_series) underdog], and the number 1138, a number often used in movies by George Lucas), but you may call me thunderdog (as long as there isn't another thunderdog in the conversation) or TD1138 if you like.

<!--''In the description, the first part needs to be about the history of and the creation and combat usage of the aircraft, as well as its key features. In the second part, tell the reader about the aircraft in the game. Insert a screenshot of the vehicle. If the novice player does not remember the vehicle by name, he will immediately understand what kind of vehicle it is talking about.''-->
  
I do not currently play War Thunder because my PC can't handle the graphics and the graphics card cannot be easily upgraded. However, I plan on acquiring a better PC and play the game in the future, but until then I will contribute to this wiki. I am experienced with MediaWiki-based wikis and am a near expert at wikitext.

This is a list of vehicles I would like to see in War Thunder one day.  As you can see, I am a fan of prototypes, and it saddens me to see a prototype removed from the game before I have a chance to play it.

In 1940, North American Aviation approached the British Purchasing Commission, which was responsible for supplying the Royal Air Force with aircraft, hoping to sell its new B-25 Mitchell bomber to the RAF. The BPC was not interested in the Mitchell, but asked if NAA could produce the P-40, which was desperately needed but in short supply.  NAA was interested in the offer, but said that they could build a better fighter around the same Allison V-1710-39 engine that powered the P-40. In March, the BPC ordered 320 of these aircraft, which were given the company designation '''NA-73''' and would eventually be known as '''Mustangs''' by the RAF.

As a result of the rushed production, the NA-73X was built using many innovative techniques such as being built in five main sections which were fitted with the required systems before being joined.  The aircraft was armed with two [[M2 Browning (12.7 mm)|.50 caliber Browning MGs]] in the nose and two [[Browning (7.62 mm)|.30 caliber Browning MGs]] in each wing.

The first production model of the Mustang was the '''Mustang Mk I'''.  With the exception of a modified carburetor scoop, the Mustang Mk I was identical to the NA-73X.  In addition to the original 320 aircraft, the BPC ordered 300 more Mustang Mk Is, which were given the company designation NA-83.

Despite the XP-51's performance being superior to all other US fighters at the time, the USAAC did not see a need for the fighter.  However, it did order 150 aircraft as '''P-51'''s or '''P-51-1'''s (NA-91) on behalf of the RAF for Lend Lease.  57 of these were held back by the USAAC (now renamed USAAF) after the attack on Pearl Harbor.  All but two of these were fitted with a pair of K.24 cameras for tactical reconnaissance missions and were redesignated '''F-6A'''.

The .30 caliber Brownings in the wings of the Mustang Mk I were replaced by [[Hispano Mk.II (20 mm)|20 mm Hispano Mk II cannons]] on the P-51, while the nose guns of the former were removed.  The aircraft was originally named '''Apache''' by the USAAF, but this was soon changed to '''Mustang''' for consistency with the British version.  In RAF service, the P-51 was named '''Mustang Mk IA'''.

Problems with the dive breaks opening prematurely led to some units wiring the breaks closed.  This problem was eventually fixed by modifying the breaks' hydraulic actuators.  Another problem was the ventral radiator, which would cause the engine to overheat if damaged.  Unfortunately, this would not be remedied for the entirety of P-51 production.

In USAAF service, the A-36A was nicknamed '''Apache''', but this was rarely used.  The USAAF ordered 500 aircraft, one of which was sent to the RAF under the designation '''Mustang Mk I (Dive Bomber)'''.

=== In-game description ===
 +
"In the autumn of 1940, the SB-2M-105 variant was launched into full-scale production, equipped with 1,100 hp Klimov M-105 twelve-cylinder, V-shaped, water-cooled engines and VISh-22Ye propellers.
  
=== P-82B ===
+
Planes of this modification were equipped with MV-3 turrets and LU hatch mounts, and they included all of the improvements which had been applied to machines of previous variants, now implemented to the fullest extent. In particular, landing headlights and cradles for the retractable ski landing gear were mounted.
  
=== F-82E ===
+
Some SB 2M-105 aircraft had a new type of glazing on the pilot's cockpit's sliding canopy to improve visibility during landing and taxiing around the airfield.
  
==== In-game ====
+
A total of 6,831 SBs were produced in all versions, including about 150 SB 2M-105s, until their production ended in early 1941. The SB bomber was the first Soviet aircraft whose licensed production was organized abroad. 110 planes designated B.71 were built in Czechoslovakia.
  
*[[F-82E]]
+
In addition to the USSR, SB bombers were in service with Spain, China, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Germany, Slovakia, and Finland.
  
=== Night fighter variants ===
+
After their combat debut in Spain, SBs came to be used in China from February 1938 onward. Bombers of this type participated in the Battles of Lake Khasan and Khalkhyn Gol. They were used in combat operations against Poland in September 1939 and in the war with Finland in the winter of 1939-40. When World War II began, the SB was the most popular Soviet bomber. They were extensively operated as day and night bombers, as well as scout planes, on the Soviet-German front until late 1943. They took part in the war with Japan in the Far East in August 1945.
  
 +
The Chinese Air Force used SBs until the end of World War II, as well as during the course of China's Civil War. Czechoslovakian B.71 planes were obtained by Germans and used as auxiliary and training vehicles. Bulgarian planes participated in the invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941.
  
== Cavalier variants ==
+
The Finns had about 20 captured SB bombers of various versions, mainly SB 2M-103s, which they used as scouts and anti-submarine warfare patrol aircraft.
  
=== Cavalier Mustang ===

The SB aircraft were withdrawn from service with the USSR in 1946."

In-game description

"In the autumn of 1940, the SB-2M-105 variant was launched into full-scale production, equipped with 1,100 hp Klimov M-105 twelve-cylinder, V-shaped, water-cooled engines and VISh-22Ye propellers.

Planes of this modification were equipped with MV-3 turrets and LU hatch mounts, and they included all of the improvements which had been applied to machines of previous variants, now implemented to the fullest extent. In particular, landing headlights and cradles for the retractable ski landing gear were mounted.

Some SB 2M-105 aircraft had a new type of glazing on the pilot's cockpit's sliding canopy to improve visibility during landing and taxiing around the airfield.

A total of 6,831 SBs were produced in all versions, including about 150 SB 2M-105s, until their production ended in early 1941. The SB bomber was the first Soviet aircraft whose licensed production was organized abroad. 110 planes designated B.71 were built in Czechoslovakia.

In addition to the USSR, SB bombers were in service with Spain, China, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Germany, Slovakia, and Finland.

After their combat debut in Spain, SBs came to be used in China from February 1938 onward. Bombers of this type participated in the Battles of Lake Khasan and Khalkhyn Gol. They were used in combat operations against Poland in September 1939 and in the war with Finland in the winter of 1939-40. When World War II began, the SB was the most popular Soviet bomber. They were extensively operated as day and night bombers, as well as scout planes, on the Soviet-German front until late 1943. They took part in the war with Japan in the Far East in August 1945.

The Chinese Air Force used SBs until the end of World War II, as well as during the course of China's Civil War. Czechoslovakian B.71 planes were obtained by Germans and used as auxiliary and training vehicles. Bulgarian planes participated in the invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941.

The Finns had about 20 captured SB bombers of various versions, mainly SB 2M-103s, which they used as scouts and anti-submarine warfare patrol aircraft.

The SB aircraft were withdrawn from service with the USSR in 1946."
