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.
The Archer was one of the most unusual tanks of World War II, developed and produced by Britain. It was based on the chassis of the Valentine infantry tank and armed with the 17-pounder anti-tank gun. What made the Archer unique was that its gun faced the rear of the vehicle, meaning the tank often had to be reversed into firing position. Approximately 665 units were built.
The ZTZ96 is China’s most advanced second generation main battle tank (MBT). But its history actually extends well before the ZTZ96 actually appeared and its development history is extremely messy (not that any tank development project is ever neat), filled with several weird prototypes and secretive vehicles. So, let’s take a look at the history of this tank’s development, its main variants, and all of those weird 1-off prototypes that never made it to production.
A comprehensive overview of the Sd.Kfz.251 family, consisting of the base vehicle Ausf. A–D and equipment models/"numbers” and more, some of which can be found in game, is presented here, along with a general overview including details and history. There’s more to it than a quick look would show.
The LT vz.38 was a light tank originally from Czechoslovakia and built by Škoda and ČKD. A total of at least 6,919 examples were built, including pre-war and licensed models in every imaginable configuration. Following the German occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1939, the German Reich captured plans, production equipment, and some examples of the LT vz.38 that had not yet been deployed in the Czech army and renamed them the Pz. 38(t). Later, a licensed version, along with some examples, was sold to Sweden, who renamed it the Stridsvagn m/41 and slightly modified it. The Pz. 38(t) was used by Germany throughout World War II and also influenced several other tank designs, including the German E-series.
The 2S38 is a premium Soviet light vehicle based on the BMP-3 platform and intended as a potential replacement for the 2S6 Tunguska SPAA. With its punchy 57 mm autocannon, great mobility, and excellent multirole capabilities, the 2S38 is a deadly vehicle in ground battles, making it loved and hated by War Thunder players alike. However, the 2S38's various strengths are balanced out by its overall lack of armor and limited survivability, which makes it somewhat of a glass cannon.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to make AI-controlled helicopters fly to a specific waypoint in your mission. Special thanks to Avarik for helping figure out this method. This guide will take into account that you are familiar with the CDK and will not be explaining basics.
Ground Assault is a cooperative PvE gamemode where players defend a capture zone against waves of AI-controlled enemies while using tanks and various aircraft. This gamemode offers players an easy way to earn Silver Lions and Research Points, making it a relatively beginner-friendly option for newer players. This guide explores the mechanics of Ground Assault, provides a list of vehicles used by enemy AI units, and offers a detailed breakdown of the layouts for all 7 maps.
Iran was the only buyer of Tomcats besides the US Navy, but after the Islamic Revolution it severed all ties with the West. But more interestingly, the Iranian F-14As had a more intense and dangerous career than their American counterparts: fighting against a numerically superior enemy and without proper maintenance, they continued to intimidate the enemy and inflict serious damage. After the Iran-Iraq war, the Tomcat's armament package was greatly expanded, and Iran still uses these fighters today. In the game, one of these modified aircraft is represented as the F-14A IRIAF.
