The Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, otherwise known as the Königstiger, King Tiger, and Tiger II, marks the end of Germany’s heavy tank line. Equipped with the “long eighty-eight” and exceptionally thick frontal armor, this 70-ton behemoth can make quick work of most opponents on the battlefield and, in the hands of a skilled player, can prove to be a deciding factor in any conflict.
The Ki-100 (including the premium Ki-100-II) is a fighter-bomber found in the Japanese air tree. It may look similar to the Ki-61, because it is! It’s essentially a Ki-61 with a Ha-112 radial instead of a Ha-40 inline engine. It is known for its unique playstyle, which is a blend of energy and turn fighting. It can be equipped with some ordnance for Ground Battles. The Ki-100 and Ki-100-II are similar, the only differences being that the 100-II has a turbocharger under the engine. During the Second World War, it was introduced far too late, at a time when Japan was being bombed daily by B-29 Superfortresses.
The T-34-57 (1943) is a premium Soviet medium tank. It boasts a hard-hitting 57 millimetre ZIS-4M gun and enhanced turret armour, up to 106 millimetres, compared to its counterpart, the techtree T-34-57. It bears a visual resemblance to the T-34 (1942 model) with a hexagon-shaped turret. It also retains the good sloped armour and speed of the T-34 family, whilst also having a lethal and quick reloading cannon, and is a must-have for any experienced Soviet player.
The story of the Mosquito begins with the founding of Geoffrey de Havilland’s aircraft company which bore his namesake, de Havilland. Around 1908, de Havilland designed his first aeronautical engine, which he then used to power his first aircraft — a small biplane. In 1920, when the aircraft company he worked for — Airco — shut down, he was able to create his own company, de Havilland Aircraft Company Limited, more commonly known as de Havilland.
When it first saw the light of day, the Jagdtiger tank destroyer was truly a sight to behold. Combining a monstrous cannon and fantastic armor, it was an Ally tanker’s worst nightmare. But no matter how impressive this level of firepower looked, it couldn’t save Germany from defeat.
Naval Enduring Confrontation (EC) in War Thunder is a strategic, objective-driven game mode available from Thursday to Monday in the “Events and Tournaments” section, switching between AB and RB every 24 hours. Matches can last up to three hours, focusing on capturing ports, defending/attacking convoys, and completing tasks to earn points, with unlimited respawns costing Silver Lions and, for higher BR ships, spawn points (SP).
If you’ve ever opened the Custom Battle menu, you’ve probably seen a number of user missions started by other players. They’re mostly there for fun, but some missions can be useful for improving your skills! You can find them on the WarThunder Live website, and today we’d like to share some of the best works found there!
Do you have a need? A need for speed? Then the BTR-80A is for you. This is one of the fastest vehicles at its rank, able to zip around the map riddling tanks to shreds with the 30 mm autocannon it is equipped with. Now, to get in those positions, it requires skill, patience and map knowledge. How do you use that skill, and how is it played?
The Pr.183 BM-21 is a rare Soviet-designed Egyptian modification that trades torpedoes for rocket artillery. Designed as a fast assault craft, this unique boat merges a WWII-era hull with Cold War firepower, offering devastating burst damage at the cost of poor survivability. She plays nothing like other ships in her tier—if you master the rockets, you’ll devastate enemies. But if you get spotted first, expect a quick trip back to the hangar.
It's been underestimated. It's been involuntarily towed around. It's been crushed by many Mauses. It's been made a meme by the War Thunder community, but at the same time, it's a fan favorite. However, when has anyone actually played it competitively? In today's post, I'm going to explain to you how to actually play the venerable L3/33 CC, a Rank I Italian tank destroyer. I'll go over its performance, strengths and weaknesses, and give you some pointers on how to play it in Ground RB.
