The A13 series of tanks was a range of similar British cruiser tanks produced just before, and for the first few years of, the Second World War. They adhered almost single-mindedly to the doctrine of speed and mobility above all else, meaning they were quickly outclassed by newer designs on both sides. Despite this they had a strong impact on the development of British tanks for several years and were a mainstay of the British Army’s tank units in the opening years of the war.
If someone mentions bomber aircraft, chances are a lot of people — particularly Britons — will immediately think of the Lancaster. It was so ubiquitous and performed so many unique and famous actions, that it will always be remembered as one of the most successful bomber designs of the Second World War.
The Beaufighter Mk X is a versatile two-seat heavy fighter. Featuring strong armament and decent survivability, it excels in both air-to-air combat and ground attack missions. Its mix of cannons, machine guns, and suspended armament allows it to handle various targets, while its solid durability gives it an edge in prolonged engagements.
The M4A5, or the Ram II is a premium medium tank for the USA and Great Britain. It is a odd mixture of several Allied tanks like the M3 Lee and the M4 Sherman and despite not being particularly used during WWII, it remains a good all-rounder tank for both the US and British techtree or someone wanting to grind either.
The Churchill or A22 was a British heavy infantry tank named after British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. It was used by Allied troops during World War II from 1942 onward and, in small numbers, by the Soviet Union. The vehicle remained in use until the Korean War. A total of more than 5,640 units were produced in various versions and modifications.
The Blackburn Buccaneer was a British carrier-borne, high-speed, low-level strike aircraft, designed by Blackburn Aircraft in the 1950s for the Royal Navy in response to the USSR’s Sverdlov-class ships. 209 planes and 2 prototypes were ever created.
The Hornet is a British single-seat two-engine heavy fighter developed by de Havilland as a successor to the iconic Mosquito. Entering service in 1946, it had outstanding performance for a piston-engine aircraft. However, it was too late to fight in WW2 and was doomed to be outclassed by jet-powered fighters in the new era of aviation. Nevertheless, the plane participated in the so-called Malayan Emergency as a ground striker. In this article, we will look at the Hornet’s characteristics, playstyle, and how to use it properly.
The Fury and its carrier-based version, the Nimrod, are part of a family of biplane fighters found in the British aviation tech tree. With a similar flight performance to biplanes of other nations and a generous ammunition pool, the Fury is a great plane to introduce newcomers to the British tech tree.
In War Thunder, the Churchill Crocodile is generally considered a bit of an oddball as its signature flamethrower is useless against the vast majority of opponents it faces. However, on the battlefields of Western Europe in the 1940s, it was anything but funny for those soldiers unlucky enough to fight against a unit equipped with these armoured dragons.
