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.
The pinnacle of Japanese engineering, the Type 10, is one of the last vehicles you’ll unlock in the Japanese tech tree. The amazing autoloader and cannon allow for absolute domination in top-tier battles, but you’ll probably struggle when you first unlock it. Despite its many weaknesses and shortcomings, the Type 10 can be one of the best vehicles at its battle rating if played correctly.
The M50 Ontos is an American tank destroyer, which very interestingly features six 106 mm recoilless rifles, capable of annihilating anything around its rank with ease. Aside from six recoilless rifles, the M50 features four targeting .50 caliber rifles, but they sadly do not have access to armor-piercing ammo, making them all but useless. The M50 can be thrilling to play, with its unique playstyle, but it does take some getting used to. This article aims to explain its strengths and weaknesses, to hopefully help you play it more effectively.
The Cromwell I is a British Medium tank in the British Tech tree. It is part of the Cromwell family of tanks and is named after the Roundhead Cavalry Officer and 'Lord Protector' of England between the end of the English Civil War and the Restoration of the Monarchy. It boasts a high top speed and a powerful 57mm gun, but is let down by its mediocre armour and dreadful reverse speed.
The T-34-57 was developed as a specialized tank destroyer capable of going head-to-head with the Wehrmacht’s new armored vehicles. In the game, this vehicle is valued for its powerful 57 mm gun, which can penetrate virtually any opponent. However, this firepower comes at the cost of weak armor and a cramped layout. So, how should this vehicle be used in the game, taking all its pros and cons into account?
In the years following WWII, the US Airborne units looked to improve their anti-tank capabilities. The result was the M56, an unarmored tank destroyer. When deployed with the 173rd Airborne Brigade, the Scorpion saw combat service in Vietnam, before eventually being replaced by the M551 Sheridan.
StuG III, or Sturmgeschütz III, was the most-produced self-propelled gun (SPG) of the Wehrmacht, with over 9,000 units built. This legendary SPG, built on the chassis of the Panzer III medium tank, was produced by the German industry from 1940 to 1945, undergoing numerous upgrades and improvements. In addition to Germany, the StuG was used by Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Finland, and the Soviet Union. In the game, four StuG III modifications are available.
The Object 122MT “MC” is a unique tank that perhaps unfortunately, often flies under the radar for many players. While similar to the Russian T-62, the Object 122 provides a lethal combination of guided missiles and a 120mm cannon, making this tank a truly unique experience to play. In today’s article, we are going to look at the strengths and weaknesses of the Object 122, the best tactics to use in it, and other tips and tricks to get the most out of playing this tank.
La Combattante was an experimental French coastal ship for the next generation of boats commissioned in 1964. During its service it saw many changes to its armament, mounting SS.11, SS.12, a 30 mm cannon, a 40 mm cannon and even the Exocet anti-ship missile. After being transferred to the Gendarmerie Maritime, it was later decommissioned in 1994. Added in the Dance of Dragons update, La Combattante is the only naval vessel armed with HEAT missiles. It offers similar gameplay to its predecessor the VLT-1 with its twin 40 mm but with a twist.
