Ground Vehicles
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.
The PGZ09 is a representation of the blisteringly rapid modernization of Chinese anti-air equipment in War Thunder. Placed at one of the highest BRs of any gun-based SPAA, players used to the antiquated but powerful WZ305 with devastating proxy shells will be taken completely by surprise by the frankly overkill amount of new technology introduced on the PGZ09. This ranges from brand new AHEAD shrapnel shells and hydraulic suspension to a cutting edge radar system with NCTR identification, something typically seen on top-tier jets and surface-to-air missile systems.
As a fast, nimble yet fragile tank armed with a deadly cannon, the Pz.Sfl.Ic (likely known to veterans under its previous name, the Pz. II H) may prove challenging to master for those used to the more traditional, simpler playstyle of most other tanks at its Battle Rating. Nonetheless, should one put in the effort, they will find this little vehicle to be a true beast, capable of dominating the battlefield and knocking out most targets with a single hit.
The heavy tank T-10 entered service with the Soviet Army at a time when heavy tanks were already becoming a thing of the past. Armies around the world — the Soviet Union included — were shifting toward a new ideal: a single, universal tank design that combined speed, protection, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Yet it was during this very transition — as the era of heavy tanks was drawing to a close — that the T-10 entered mass production and went on to serve for decades.
The Chinese WZ551 chassis serves as the workhorse of the PLA. Numerous variants have been developed on its platform, including ATGM carriers, several tank destroyers, a self-propelled artillery piece, and many other vehicles. One such derivative is the ZSL92 infantry fighting vehicle, introduced in a recent War Thunder update. But how does one master this steed from the Celestial Empire? For a detailed analysis, continue reading the article.
From the earliest days of armored warfare, British tank designers earned a reputation for thinking differently. The Chieftain MBT was no exception: it diverged so sharply from its European contemporaries that at home and abroad it was regarded not merely as original, but decidedly controversial. Its 120-mm gun had the headroom to remain relevant for decades. Its powerpack and several other systems, however, drew justified criticism from the start. Bit by bit, the makers worked through the Chieftain’s many issues and, along the way, created what was essentially a new tank on the same foundations — testing ideas that ranged from modest and practical to sweeping and ambitious.
The KV-7 was developed in response to the Red Army’s need for an artillery support vehicle with greater firepower than the T-34 or KV-1. In the game, this self-propelled gun is known for its unique triple-gun arrangement housed in a common mantlet. This setup, combined with its respectable armor, makes it a significant threat to any opponent. But how does one master this machine, considering its distinct characteristics and drawbacks? Let’s find out.
It’s time to take a closer look at the new vehicles of the Spearhead update! For the first feature, we’ve picked one of the most striking ground additions. Please welcome the French EBRC Jaguar! Its futuristic design is hard to miss, and it has several undeniable advantages over its peers. Let’s see what makes this armored scout so special!
