Hey, welcome to my user page! This is mostly just a long wall of images. Enjoy!

Feel free to direct any comments, questions, and/or concerns towards my Discussion page.

Gaijin Please

This is the section where I lay out the various vehicles I'd like to see in War Thunder some day. With any luck, this section will shrink in the future.

I may or may not come back at a later date and add more information about these vehicles.

United States

Air Forces

P-35A

Basic Stats

Introduction year:	1937
Crew:	1 (Pilot)
Empty weight:	4,575 lb (2,075 kg)
Powerplant:	1 × Pratt & Whitney R-1830-45 Twin Wasp radial engine, 1,050 hp

Performance

Maximum speed:	290 mph (467 km/h) at 12,000 ft (3,660 m)
Service ceiling:	31,400 ft (9,570 m)
Climb rate:	31.96 f/s (9.74 m/s)
Wing loading:	27.8 lb/ft²
Power-to-mass ratio:	0.172 hp/lb

Armament

Guns:	2 × 0.50 in Browning M2/AN machine guns; 2 × 0.30 in M1919 Browning machine guns
Ammunition load:
Bombs:	up to 350 lb (160 kg) of bombs

• First single-seat USAAC fighter to feature all-metal construction, retractable landing gear, and an enclosed cockpit.

A-18 Shrike

FR-1 Fireball

• Mixed-power aircraft, utilizing both piston and jet-power.
• First USN aircraft with a jet engine.
• 66 were built in total before Japan surrendered.
• Did not see combat.

F2H-3 Banshee

Basic Stats

First delivered:	1952
Crew:	1 (Pilot)
Empty weight:	13,183 lb (5,980 kg)
Powerplant:	2 × Westinghouse J34-WE-34 turbojets, 3,250 lbf (14.46 kN) each

Performance

Maximum speed:	580 mph (933 km/h) at sea level M 0.762
Service ceiling:	46,600 ft (14,205 m)
Climb rate:	100 ft/s (30 m/s) from sea level
Wing loading:
Power-to-mass ratio:

Armament

Guns:	4 × 20 mm (0.79 in) Colt Mk 16 cannon
Ammunition load:	940 total rounds 220 rounds/gun (upper pair) 250 rounds/gun (lower pair)
Payload:	8 × 60 lb High Explosive rockets; or 2 × 60 lb HE rockets and 6 × 500 lb bombs
Missiles:	2 × AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles (only in RCN service)

Differences from the F2H-2 variant in game? Lengthened fuselage, enlarged nose, redesigned tail, increased fuel capacity, and eight underwing weapons pylons for a 3,000 lb bomb payload, as opposed to the 4 x 250 lb or 2 x 500 lb bombloads of the F2H-2. Armed with 4 x Colt Mk 16 cannons (similar to the cannons on the FJ-4B), as opposed to the AN/M3s of the F2H-2. This plane would be an amazing ground attacker. Would love to see it foldered with the F2H‑2.

F3H Demon

F3H-2

Basic Stats

Introduction year:	1956
Crew:	1 (Pilot)
Empty weight:	21,133 lb (10,040 kg)
Powerplant:	1 × Allison J71-A-2E turbojet 9,700 lbf, dry 14,750 lbf, afterburning

Performance

Maximum speed:	716 mph (1,152 km/h) at sea level M 0.94
Service ceiling:	35,050 ft (10,683 m)
Climb rate:	213.25 ft/s (65.0 m/s)
Wing loading:
Power-to-mass ratio:

Armament

Guns:	4 × 20 mm (0.79 in) Colt Mk 12 cannons
Ammunition load:	600 total rounds 150 rounds/gun
Missiles:	4 × AIM-9 Sidewinders
Bombs:	Up to 6,000 lb (2,721 kg)

• Built as a successor to the F2H Banshee.
• Known for it's excellent cockpit visibility.

F3D-2

• Developed from the F3D-1, featuring better engines, wing spoilers, autopilot, and an improved AN/APQ-36 radar.

I'd love to see the F3D-2 added in a folder with the F3D-1. The F3D-1 struggles with being sluggish, and I feel like the extra ~273 kfg from the Westinghouse J34-WE-38 engines would make the Skynight a lot more viable, and would entice a lot more people to play this plane. Plus, it takes the already good radar system found on the F3D-1 and improves upon it, making this likely one of the best night fighters in the game.

F4D-1 Skyray

Basic Stats

Introduction year:	1956
Crew:	1 (Pilot)
Empty weight:	16,024 lb (7,268 kg)

Service ceiling:	55,000 ft (17,000 m)
Climb rate:	305 ft/s (93.3 m/s)
Wing loading:	41 lb/ft²

Missiles:	4 × AIM-9 Sidewinders

F7U-3 Cutlass

F-89A Scorpion

F-86D Sabre

First flight:

1949

F-84F Thunderstreak

• A development of the F-84 Thunderjet, featuring a new design with swept-wings.
• One of the earliest jets used by the Thunderbirds, used subsequently to the F-84 and prior to the F-100.

FJ-1 Fury

• The first operational jet aircraft to enter United States Navy service.
• Wings and canopy derived from the P-51D.

FJ-2/-3 Fury

FJ-2

• Developed in an effort to navalize the F-86 Saber.
• Completely different airframe from the FJ-1 Fury, despite sharing designations.

FJ-3M

• The FJ-3 was a further development of the FJ-2, featuring a more powerful engine. This -3M designation indicates that it was equipped to carry AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles.
• Developed into the FJ-4 Fury, but much like the FJ-2 being dissimilar from the FJ-1, the FJ-4 is also vastly different from the FJ-3.

F-8 Crusader

Introduction year:

1957

• The last American jet aircraft to equip guns as it's main armament, earning it the nickname "The Last of the Gunfighters".
• The first jet fighter in US service to reach 1,000 mph.
• Was primarily used during the Vietnam War.
• Was in active service with the US Navy until 1985, and the US Naval Reserve until 1987 as photo-reconnaissance; a full 30 years after it's introduction.

A-4 Skyhawk

A-7 Corsair II

Introduction year:

1967

• Developed as a successor to the A-4 Skyhawk.

A-6 Intruder

Introduction year:

1963

F-11F-1 Tiger

Introduction year:

1956

F-101A Voodoo

Basic Stats

Introduction year:	1957
Crew:	1 (Pilot)
Empty weight:	24,970 lb (11,326 kg)
Powerplant:	2 × Pratt & Whitney J57-P-13 turbojets 10,200 lbf, dry 15,800 lbf, afterburning

Performance

Maximum speed:	1,009 mph (1,162 km/h) at 35,000 ft M 1.52
Service ceiling:	50,300 ft (15,000 m)
Initial climb rate:	735 ft/s (224 m/s)
Wing loading:	__ lb/ft²
Thrust/weight:	0.80

Armament

Guns:	4 × 20 mm (0.79 in) M39 cannons
Ammunition load:	800 total rounds 200 rounds/gun
Avionics:	MA-7 fire-control system AN/APS-54 radar

While the F‑101 Voodoo was designed to carry nuclear payloads in real life, I feel that the cannon-equipped F‑101A would make a fun supersonic jet for War Thunder. Unfortunately, the F‑101A would lack any payload options as none were fitted historically. This would make the F‑101A a dedicated fighter within the confines of the game.

M60A1

Since the M60A1 "D.C.Ariete" was removed from sale and is effectively no longer in the game, I feel that Italy should get a standard tech tree M60A1. Italy produced over 200 of these, and are a significant part of Italy's military history; with the premium gone, the representation is also gone. Italy's tech tree is also pretty sparse anyway, so adding this back into the game in this fashion would be a no brainer. As you can see from the image, you could even give it ERA to differentiate it from the M60A1 "D.C.Ariete" if you wanted.

Gaijin please, give Italy an M60A1!
