The M24 Chaffee was a light tank originating from WW2 and fought in numerous wars, cementing its legacy as a powerful light tank. The M24 Chaffee in War Thunder, much like in real life, serves with many different countries and is also an extremely very good vehicle. This vehicle has an extremely rewarding playstyle once learned and this article will teach you how to play it to its strengths and mitigate its weaknesses.

In 1944, the Sukhoi Design Bureau started working on a new twin-engine fighter. The design process was slow, but the bureau soon acquired a captured German Me 262 Schwalbe ("Swallow"), which profoundly influenced the project's subsequent development. This culminated in the Su-9 in 1947, which retained the Me 262’s layout but had a different fuselage and wing design. Soon after, the Su-11 was created based on the Su-9, featuring more powerful TR-1 engines. However, in the game, the Su-11’s performance is much superior than that of the Su-9 or the Me 262. It stands out for its excellent acceleration and incredible energy conservation. Is it really that good?

The Renault YR and Renault ACG, officially designated the AMC.34 and AMC.35 respectively, were a pair of French medium tanks designed in series. Initially conceived for the 1931 French Army Cavalry plans for the Automitrailleuse de Combat (AMC) role as a light tank, both were essentially dead on arrival.

The King Tiger is one of the most famous tanks known today, which is very impressive considering its age, but there are many misinterpretations, myths, and misunderstood facts going around, as well as a few blurry lines here and there, which I will aim to dismiss.

The BMPT is one of the most infamous vehicles ever introduced to War Thunder. Designed to replace Russian AFVs working in urban combat or to support friendly troops and eliminate enemy infantry, it has the equivalent armour of an MBT, based on the T-90 chassis for the tech-tree variant and the T-72 for the premium version, with firepower to match. In this article, I aim to explain how this vehicle is played and its strengths and weaknesses.

The T-26 mod. 1939 was one of the final variants of the T-26 tank, featuring significant improvements over the earlier versions such as a conical turret and thicker, better armor. Around 1300 such vehicles were manufactured by 1940. In War Thunder, this tank is a reserve in the Soviet tech tree. Although it’s slow and has weak armor, this tank features a good gun, making it a powerful weapon in skilled hands.

A helicopter takes off thanks to the lift generated by its main rotor, the rotation of which creates a reactive torque. According to Newton’s third law, the fuselage tends to rotate in the direction opposite to the rotor. To maintain stability, this torque must be counteracted. There are two main ways to do this: generating an auxiliary force (in single-rotor configurations) or mutual compensation (in twin-rotor configurations).

France might have won World War Two on paper, but in reality it had suffered a massive defeat. The Germans, of course, had steamrolled them at the start of the war. Showing the ineffectiveness of their tactics, tanks, and leadership. It was the lessons they learned there, that mobility and the ability to react to unforeseen threats quickly and effectively, that shaped the entire French armoured forces to this day.

Britain’s relationship with tea had been something of a running joke for many years. In 2025, a joke on social media convinced many people (mostly Americans) that the Brits have a mandatory tea-time, that is marked with an air-raid siren. While this is far from the truth, it is true that many Britons, including those in the Armed Forces, enjoy a cuppa. As such, every British tank since the Second World War has included a little extra luxury — the boiling vessel.

Australia’s use of tanks has generally been shaped by practicality rather than large-scale industrial ambition. The country never developed a major domestic tank industry, instead relying on allied designs and adapting them to suit their unique local conditions. However, Australia’s history with tanks is still extremely interesting, as Australia’s combat terrain is vastly different from that of its allies.
