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.

This MiG-21S is a jet fighter for the Russian tech tree. It has many perks, like a good airframe and loadout, early radar missiles, and incredible acceleration. However, it has one major flaw — you get no countermeasures. This doesn’t make the plane unplayable; however, it requires a bit more thinking than other MiG-21s. So, how is it played?

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.

Her Majesty’s Australian Ship (HMAS) Fremantle, pennant number 203, was a patrol boat commissioned in 1980 as the lead ship of her class. She took the longest voyage made by a lone patrol vessel of her time, and she aided Australian efforts to curb illegal fishing and immigration over the 26 years of her career.

The Yokosuka D4Y Suisei (彗星, “Comet”), called “Judy” by the Allies, are a collection of three Rank II light bomber aircraft that can be found in the Japanese air tree. While called bombers in the game description, these planes play more like heavy strike fighters, due to their great speed and agility.

The F-15 Eagle was made to combat the growing national threat of the USSR, and the MiG-25 Foxbat. The F-15 can carry a variety of useful munitions, and is still being used today by the US military. To this day, there isn’t a clear date for when all F-15s will retire.

The Bristol Blenheim is a very important piece of British aviation. It was the first all-metal monoplane aircraft of the RAF, the fastest combat aircraft in the world when introduced and the aircraft on which many future crews of more famous bomber aircraft learnt their trade.

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.
