As early as the 1930s, the Yakovlev Design Bureau was interested in creating a heavy aircraft that could serve as either a fighter or a frontline bomber with minor modifications. This led to the I-29, the Yak-2, and the Yak-4. However, these aircraft did not achieve the same success as others in their class, such as the "Peshka", and only the Yak-4 saw limited production. The I-29 is the most interesting one in the game, but why?
The USSR tree has many fast vehicles, and one such example is the BT-7M. This tank is among the fastest at its BR but has many drawbacks as well. In this article, you will learn all about the BT-7M's strengths and weaknesses, along with how to play it and progress with this speed demon.
Out of all the tanks in the Panzer IV family, the Panzer IV H is perhaps one of, if not the most famous. With good armament, solid armor, and respectable mobility, the Panzer IV H’s reputation lives on in War Thunder, where it can be quite fun to play. It almost serves as a bridge between the lighter tanks of the early war and the late-war German beasts. In today’s article, we’re going to look at the Panzer IV H’s strengths and weaknesses, which tactics to use, and how to get the most out of playing Germany’s workhorse!
The de Havilland Sea Vixen is considered one of the most bizarre-looking aircraft ever employed by the Royal Navy, with an asymmetric side-by-side cockpit, no cannon armament, and a twin-boom design. In War Thunder, the Sea Vixen is one of the first examples many players will experience gunless jet combat with, and it introduces a completely new playstyle that throws the fundamentals of early jet combat out the window.
The Ratel ZT3 is a South African tank destroyer in the British tech tree. It is part of the Ratel family of fighting vehicles, a series of 6-wheeled IFVs developed to replace the obsolete Alvis Saracen APC in South African service. The Ratel ZT3 is a later variant of the Ratel platform fitted with the turret that houses a 7.62mm Browning MG4 machine gun and ZT3 ATGMs. With a top speed of 65 mph and the ability to carry a tandem charge ATGM that can penetrate 1000 mm of armour, it is an excellent tank destroyer. However, with minimal armour protection and a large silhouette, the ZT3A2 must be played according to its strengths.
The XM800T is an ARSV, developed in the 1970s by Chrysler, FMC Corp., and Teledyne Continental. It was meant to replace the M114 but never entered production, although the experience gained was used in the M2 Bradley later on. However, this tank combines weak armor with a gun that can’t even penetrate 70mm of armor up close. So how to play this exceptional light tank? Find out in this article!
The T-28 is a Soviet medium tank from the USSR tech tree. It has several notable features, including two machine-gun turrets, a potent main cannon, and surprising mobility for a tank of its size. While it does have its limitations, with the right tactics and knowledge of its weaknesses, the T-28 can be a very strong weapon indeed. In this article, I will go over the tank’s best and worst features as well as the best way to play it.
The Panzer II is one of Germany’s first tanks and can be found early in the German tech tree. While often overshadowed by the later German tanks, the Panzer II doesn’t always get the attention it deserves. However, the Panzer II is quite the joy to play. In today’s article, we’re going to look at the strengths and weaknesses of the Panzer II, which tactics to use, which enemies to keep an eye out for, and how to get the most out of one of Germany’s early smaller Panzers.
The F-102A was set to become the U.S. Air Force’s ultimate interceptor. However, the first prototypes could not even reach supersonic speeds, so the aircraft was redesigned. The production models also failed to meet expectations, which is why the more advanced F-106, based on the F-102A, was developed. In War Thunder, the aircraft can carry up to six AIM-4 missiles, including radar-guided variants, in its bomb bay. However, it can only accelerate to Mach 1 at sea level and it lacks a cannon. So how does one play it?
The Mi-35M is one of the helicopters produced by the Mil Design Bureau, borrowing the design from the legendary Mi-24 “Hind” with a number of positive changes. Although the “Crocodile” has lost two hardpoints of its armament, it has been replaced with advanced electronics, excellent optics, and new external weapons. How does the successor to the legendary Mi-24 perform in combat? Read the article to find out!
