The MiG-23ML/MLA (NATO reporting name: Flogger) is a Soviet third-generation fighter jet. Designed to address the shortcomings of the previous MiG-23M/MF, the MiG-23ML variant features a lighter airframe, an improved and more powerful engine, additional countermeasure dispensers, enhanced avionics, and more effective weaponry when compared to the standard MiG-23s. The MiG-23ML is functionally identical to the German MiG-23MLA, and the MLA will be referred to as the ML in this article.
The Eurofighter 2000 Typhoon (Block 10 Tranche 2), Typhoon FGR.4, and F-2000A are 4.5th generation fighter jets with exceptional versatility and advanced technology, found in the German, British, and Italian tech trees. Equipped with AIM-120B AMRAAMs and AIM-9M Sidewinders, they excel in both long-range and close-quarters air combat. On the ground attack side, the Typhoons boast an impressive arsenal, including advanced guided bombs and missiles, making them equally devastating against ground targets.
The KV-220 is one of the lesser-seen heavy tanks around the 6.0 BR range, and this is mainly due to the fact that the KV-220 was available during the 2016 "Operation S.U.M.M.E.R" event and is now only available on the marketplace. This begs the question: Is it worth the price now? Is this vehicle still as strong as it once was, or has the environment around it changed too much for this old dog to maintain its place among some of the strongest ground vehicles in the game?
The Merkava Mk.4M "Meil Ru'ach" is an Israeli indigenous MBT, designed and manufactured by Mantak and the IDF Ordinance Corps. Prioritizing crew protection and survivability over all other aspects, the tank has a frontally mounted engine to shield the crew and a well-balanced armor layout. When compared to the preceding Merkava Mk.4B/LIC, the Merkava Mk.4M is upgraded to use the venerable Trophy APS to protect the tank from ATGMs and other guided munitions. The Merkava has the potential to be a formidable weapon in the hands of a skilled player, but it demands more expertise from players to achieve success compared to other MBTs, primarily due to its weak armor.
The CV90 is a series of vehicles built to withstand extreme weather and fulfil a wide range of battlefield situations. Despite their intent to be used as jack of all trades, masters of none military assets, their ability to fight both enemy armour and airborne threats is separated and maximised in the anti-air-focused Lvkv 9040C and anti-tank-focused Strf 9040 BILL. This article will explore these two developments of the Swedish army and their more niche roles on the battlefields of War Thunder.
The F-84G is often one of the first jets for many players. It can be used for both air combat and ground attack, making it a solid multi-role aircraft. Although it is a bit older compared to jets like the MiG-15 or F-86, it can still hold its own and compete well against these more modern aircraft.
The M8 Light Armoured Car, commonly known as the “Greyhound”, is a low-tier reconnaissance vehicle. It has a 37mm cannon paired with a 12.7mm heavy machine gun. It features decent mobility, enough armor to withstand small caliber machine guns, and heavy machine gun fire from the front, which can even extend to autocannons at longer ranges. While its mobility may not be the best, it is still enough to allow you to flank enemies and utilize your fast fire rate to destroy enemy vehicles side on.
The Fiat G.55 Centauro is truly a fabulous flying machine developed by the Kingdom of Italy during World War II. In this guide, I will cover the variant denominated serie 1. The G.55 is a World War II fighter found in the fourth rank of the Italian aviation tech tree. It was used by the Regia Aeronautica and the Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana in 1943–1945. It was designed and built in Turin by Fiat and was arguably the best fighter produced in Italy during World War II. It was regarded as “the best Axis fighter” by the Luftwaffe when compared to the Messerschmitt Bf 109 G and the Focke-Wulf Fw 190. In this guide, you will learn how to dominate the skies in this magnificent flying machine!
The TB-3M-27-32 is a rare and very solid low rank bomber. Although it is quite slow, it has a very good payload for its rank and good survivability. It has various payload options ranging from FAB-100 bombs to FAB-500. It has a total of 5 gunners with an overall good coverage, particularly above the aircraft. The aircraft's large size makes it somewhat durable against enemy fire, although it will struggle to fly at all with extensive damage due to its already very low top speed.
