Hey, just putting this comment here. I've been twisting the HTML allowed here on the wiki for the past couple of years and so far, this is the work I've made thus far. https://wiki.warthunder.com/index.php?title=User:U16697154&oldid=16302 If you take a look through the history tab on my page, you can also find all the other nonsense I've been up to. None of which are allowed on the main wiki for the foreseeable future unfortunately.

That being said, feel free to keep experimenting. - KornFlaks (talk) 17:15, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Ki-43-I

After the 10 improved prototypes were tested the Army settled on what they saw was the optimum configuration and requested that the production aircraft be equipped with the Nakajima Ha-25 engine. The final design entered production as the Ki-43-Ia (Army Type 1 Fighter Model 1A) with the first example completing production in April 1941. This model was soon replaced with the Ki-43-Ib (Army Type 1 Fighter Model 1B) which replaced one of the 7.7 mm machine guns with a 12.7 mm machine gun which was also soon replaced by the Ki-43-Ic (Army Type 1 Fighter Model 1C) which was equipped with two 12.7 mm machine gun.

After some time in the field, the Ki-43 was to receive a major upgrade based on feedback from pilots, which included replacing the Ha-25 engine with the more powerful Ha-115 engine, a two stage supercharger, pilot armour, self-sealing fuel tanks and many more minor improvements. The first prototype of what was to become the Ki-43-II (Army Type 1 Fighter Model 2) was completed in February 1942.

In late 1942, the Australian Army managed to capture a intact example of a Ki-43 while fighting the Japanese Army in Papua New Guinea. It was quickly shipped back to Australia for testing where it ended up in the hands of the Technical Air Intelligence Unit who managed to repair it using parts from downed airplanes. It was painted in US livery and was used to test its performance against Allied planes. After testing by the Technical Air Intelligence Unit it was shipped to the United States for further evaluations.

The last major modification of the Ki-43 was done in 1944, combining the minor modifications of the IIa and IIb with the more powerful Nakajima Ha-115-II engine. These minor modifications over the Ki-43-II included a reduced wing-span (improving the plane's low and medium speed performance), increased pilot armour, improved oil cooler, and modified carburetor intake. This new Ki-43-IIIa (Army Type 1 Fighter Model 3A) entered production in October 1944 with approximately 1,000 being completed before the war ended.

After the end of the war, a number of nations used the Ki-43, including the Indonesian People's Security Force who used them against the Dutch, and the French who used them against Communist forces in Indochina. One such post-war user was the Nationalist Chinese Air Forces who operated captured Ki-43 in the 6th group. These saw use against the Communist Chinese forces in the Chinese Civil War and 5 were eventually captured and used by the Chinese Communist Air Force until 1952.

No idea what the cause is, but Visual Editor seems to randomly add a breakpoint at a random space. Current work-around is to use nbsp as space in table to prevent this.

May be unrelated, but VE didn't insert a return char between Attacker and Bomber nav-lines in cases where table broke.

For reference

I think it is possible to data-mine the tank optics zoom. In a tank BLK file if you divide 74 by the "zoomOutFov" or "zoomInFov" field that gives you the default and zoomed in magnification (it has a load of decimal points after it but when you round it to 1 d.p it is nearly always accurate, sometimes you will be out by 0.1 x though). Not sure the significance of 74, presumably it is the FoV of a 1x zoom or something. I worked this out by taking the standard zoom of the Challenger 2 (stated as x 4 in game), then multiplying it by the "zoomOutFov" field in the challenger 2 blk file to get 74. If I then pick other tanks in game which have a zoom specified and divide 74 by the "zoomOutFov" & "zoomInFoV" fields in their files the number you get nearly always rounds to what the zoom level was stated at in game. --Flame2512 (talk) 12:32, 28 April 2019 (UTC) [1]

P-51

The first order of Mustangs to the British were designated Mustang Mk I. The RAF received these aircraft behind schedule in October of 1941. Problems showed up immediately including the Allison power-plant and other design flaws. It is also important to note the Mustang Mk I's armament consisting of four .30 cal machine guns mounted in the wings, as well as a set of two .50 cal mounted in the wings and two .50 cal machine guns mounted in the nose.

The next evolution of this aircraft was designated Mustang Mk IA. Due to the recently signed Lend-Lease Act the U.S. Army was able to place an order for 150 more Mustangs on behalf of the British. These aircraft were equipped with four 20 mm Hispano Mk.II cannons mounted in the wings. Only 93 of the new Mustangs made it to the RAF. The U.S. Army pulled 55 for themselves and they immediately saw service. Two were kept by North American Aviation for internal use. These P-51 Mustangs first saw service in April 9th of 1943 and the first combat loss came shortly afterwards on April 23rd.

TailSpin

Nimble

Nimble Stat Card image.png

The Nimble is the starting vehicle, and considered as the Reserve vehicle given to all players. The Nimble is a biplane hydroplane sporting a dark blue camouflage with yellow stripes along its upper wing and rudder. Unlike the other aircraft in the event, the Nimble is a reference to "Porco Rosso", an animated film made by Studio Ghibli. In the film, it is flown by Donald Curtis, the main antagonist.

The Nimble's model reference in War Thunder is based on the He 51 B-2/H hydroplane.

Weapons

  • 2 x 12.7 mm Attaboy machine guns (425 rpg)

Website Description

Such an aircraft is given to every new pilot in the Air Pirates. Do you want something more serious? Load the machine gun and shoot down the enemies of the clan! How to get it? Beginner's plane - available for everyone

Windscreech

Windscreech Stat Card image.png

The Windscreech is the first unlockable plane and the second plane overall given to the player by gaining 10 kills and/or assists in the event. It has two engines, one in the conventional front, and the other placed unconventionally on the tail rudder section, much to the sheer break on safety regulations and logical sense in reality. It is reference to one of the planes found in the "TaleSpin" show, specifically the Thunderyak Fighter.

The Windscreech's model reference War Thunder is based on the F3F-2 biplane fighter with the upper wings removed to look like the F2A Buffalo fighter.

Weapons

  • 2 x 12.7 mm Attaboy machine guns (500 rpg)

Website Description

Hmmm, this one is better indeed! The Windscreech is noticeably faster, although it still lacks firepower. How to get it? 10 players defeated and assisted.

Bumblebee

Bumblebee Stat Card image.png

The Bumblebee is the second unlockable plane and the third plane overall given to the player by gaining 25 kills and/or assists in the event. It is a nimble fighter that, coupled with its six machine guns, can make short work of the enemy. Its small size and biplane look allows it to keep up with most, if not all fighters as it mows them down with its own guns. The Bumblebee's counterpart in the "TaleSpin" show is the CT-37, also known as the Pirate Fighter.

The Bumblebee's model reference in War Thunder is the I-16 light fighter.

Weapons

  • 2 x 12.7 mm Attaboy machine guns (250 rpg)
  • 4 x 7.62 mm Valiant machine guns (500 rpg)
  • 2 x Present bombs (FAB-100)
  • 6 x Cricket rockets (RS-82)

Website Description

The favorite fighter of the Stalinia boar pilots is now in the hands of the Air Pirates. Six machine guns, bombs and rockets are where the fun begins! How to get it? 25 players defeated and assisted

History

Development

Just before the Tiger I entered service in 1942, work has already begun for its successor. In 1937, Henschel was ordered to develop a heavy tank design, with Porsche following suit in 1939. Porsche developed their new heavy tank off of the failed VK 4501 (P), churning out two models designated VK 4502 (P) named Type 180 and 181. The Type 180 had its turret mounted centrally while 181 had the turret mounted on the rear with the engine in the center (akin to the Ferdinand tank destroyer layout). Both designs used the same components of the VK 4501 (P) and both designs were visually similar except for the turret locations and some mechanical parts, but these two designs never passed wooden prototypes.

Henschel, on the other hand, used a more conventional design in their tank layout, but the end result look no way similar to their previous heavy tank design Tiger I. The VK 4503 (H) as designated by them resembled a Panther tank layout, with the transmission in the front along with the driving compartment, the turret in the center, and the engine in the rear. The design used many components from the Panther and the Panther II in order to standardize production. The suspension system was also different from anything produced at the time, though still using a torsion-bar suspension, the wheels were arranged only in the overlapping method, no interleaving. This new Schachtellaufwerk design simplified maintenance and increased production by using less wheels than interleaved (only 9 each side) and with full-steel wheels that the later Tiger I models used to save rubber. The first wooden mock-up of the design was presented on October 20, 1943 to Hitler, to which it was approved for further development as the Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, or just Tiger II and Tiger B for short. The Henschel variant was more advantageous than the Porsche variant for being developed faster and has a faster production rate, thus it was destined to be approved for service. The Henschel design began production in the Henschel plant at Kassal and the first 3 working prototypes were churned out in December 1943. Full-scale production began on January 1944 and continued all the way until March 1945. Due to the late introduction and the amount of resources needed to construct the heavy tanks, only about 482 production models were produced in this time period, considerably less than its predecessor, Tiger I.

Survivors

Today, there are 10 Tiger IIs in varying conditions left in the world. The most well known is the one at Musée des Blindés museum at Samur, France. This Tiger II is the only working version left in the world, this variant has the "Henschel" turret attached. Other notable places around the world that have the Tiger II is at the Bovington Tank Museum at England (which has a Porsche and a Henschel variant), Kubinka Tank Museum at Russia, and the (future) National Armor and Cavalry Museum in America.


Archive of the in-game description

In August 1942, the companies Nibelungenwerke, led by Ferdinand Porsche, and Henschel & Sohn AG, under the direction of Erwin Aders, received technical specifications for a tank with thicker armour than the Tiger I, placed at the same large angles of inclination as that on the T-34.

After testing, Porsche's prototype was rejected. However, by this point, 50 turrets had already been produced for the model. It was decided that these turrets would be used to equip the first 50 tanks with Henschel's hull design, which had equipment for underwater traversing. Porsche's turrets had a streamlined shape, and the commander's cupola was accommodated by a curved bulge on the turret's side. The turret's frontal armour had a thickness of 107 mm. All Tiger II(P) tanks had anti-magnetic Zimmerit paste applied on their vertical surfaces.

The first set of tanks, new vehicles with the Porsche turrets received on March 14, 1944, became the 316th company of the Panzer Lehr. Five tanks fought with the Panzer Lehr on the Western Front. The remaining tanks were received by the 503rd heavy tank battalion, which fought on the Western Front until 1944. After this, the two still-intact Tiger II(P) tanks fought in the battalion's battles on the Eastern Front during the autumn and winter of 1944–1945.

Thick armour plates, positioned at high angles of inclination, provided the tank very high protection against the majority of the anti-tank weapons of the time. However, the vehicle's high weight and lack of engine power caused the Tiger II to have low ride quality and overall low reliability. A serious drawback of the Porsche turret was its streamlined front, which was prone to making projectiles ricochet into the roof of the tank's hull.

The major opponent of the Tiger II(P) on the Western Front was enemy aircraft. Also, many vehicles were lost as a result of mechanical failure.
