The Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, otherwise known as the Königstiger, King Tiger, and Tiger II, marks the end of Germany’s heavy tank line. Equipped with the “long eighty-eight” and exceptionally thick frontal armor, this 70-ton behemoth can make quick work of most opponents on the battlefield and, in the hands of a skilled player, can prove to be a deciding factor in any conflict.

The Ki-100 (including the premium Ki-100-II) is a rank III fighter-bomber found in the Japanese air tree. It may look similar to the Ki-61, because it is! It’s essentially a Ki-61 with a Ha-112 radial instead of a Ha-40 inline engine. It is known for its unique playstyle, which is a blend of energy and turn fighting. It can be equipped with some ordnance for Ground Battles. The Ki-100 and Ki-100-II are similar, the only differences being that the 100-II has a turbocharger under the engine. During the Second World War, it was introduced far too late, at a time when Japan was being bombed daily by B-29 Superfortresses.

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 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 MiG-15 aircraft are successors to the MiG-9 and are rather good planes for their battle ratings. They use swept wings which provide better performance at transonic speed. Another difference compared to the MiG-9 is the use of a single, powerful engine, the Klimov RD-45F. The plane is able to reach 1050 km/h at sea level and 994 km/h at 9,000 m, it makes the plane’s speed very comparable with other jets at a similar battle rating. It also has other variants in multiple nations which play similarly.

The Churchill AVRE Petard is a modified variant of the Churchill family of heavy tanks, this one featuring a 230 mm launcher for a Petard mortar. The mortar’s max range is only about 100 meters, forcing players to get right up close to enemies to guarantee a hit. Fortunately, the Churchill’s tough armor is strong enough to withstand a very large amount of punishment, and when you do get close enough to land a hit, the powerful Petard mortar easily destroys opponents with a single hit.

The S.O. 4050 Vautour (vultur) IIN late is a second-generation two seat French interceptor fighter aircraft with all-weather capabilities that entered service in 1956. During its service, it participated in several conflicts in Israel, shooting down two Jordanian Hawker Hunter fighters. In France, it served as a launching platform for the first French radar-guided missiles. However, it was soon replaced by the much more advanced Dassault Mirage III, which was capable of supersonic flight.
