The M44: The Big Fast Metal Box of Doom

The M44 is a Tank Destroyer introduced in Update 2.43, "Storm Warning", and resides in many tech trees. This vehicle currently sits in Rank III. The M44's 155mm cannon is feared by many due to its higher-than-average HE velocity and quick traverse, although it is also just as vulnerable due to its open-top design.

A Guide to The M10 GMC

The M10 GMC is a tank destroyer that has a very, very potent gun once you have the right ammo, but it’s still good with its base ammo. The M10 GMC can be a hard vehicle to work with, especially in brawling, because of its very slow turret traverse. The M10 GMC was exported to other countries, so you might just face yourself. You also might have to go against some pretty dangerous enemies, so I’ll tell you about the tank, how to fight with it, and how to fight common enemies with it.

Historical Background — The Pz.Kpfw. IV Family

This article will summarize the history of the German Panzerkampfwagen IV medium tank and its variants, including their development, production, and service history. The Pz.Kpfw. IV was one of the most produced fully tracked German armoured vehicles of the Second World War, second only to the Sturmgeschütz III assault gun. In addition to its original role as a medium tank, the chassis of the Pz.Kpfw. IV served as a versatile platform for many self-propelled weapon designs.

PLZ05 – Long Live the Artillery Corps

As the representation of PLAGF transformation from Warsaw Pact caliber to NATO caliber howitzer, the PLZ05 is the earlier variant of its family with basic digitized equipment. The hybrid of Russian carousel autoloader and NATO caliber howitzer is what makes PLZ05 unique among its counterparts; the introduction of this artillery piece also fills a gap in Chinese tech-tree with a long-anticipated SPH equivalent to NATO counterparts.

[HISTORY] The Turán and Zrínyi: Minor nation, mighty tanks

The Hungarian Army in WW2 was the only one from the minor Axis nations to produce their own tanks. An example is the Turán: Hungary’s mass-produced medium tank, made by MÁVAG (Magyar Királyi Állami Vas-, Acél- és Gépgyárak). It was named after the historical and “mythical” Turan region in Asia.

A Guide to: The Infamous L.O.S.A.T

The LOSAT-CCVL is a very unique vehicle in War Thunder in both looks and gameplay. Boasting low survivability, no gun elevation whatsoever, but the best penetration for a kinetic penetrator in game, the LOSAT needs little to no introduction. Lets take a look into what makes this "Tank" special!

The FV4005: A Tank Like No Other

During the Berlin Victory Parade, the IS-3 was first observed by the western allies. Among the British, fear grew about its armour and the fact that only the 17-pounder, firing the scarce APDS (Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot) stood a chance at penetrating it. As a result, a British program began to develop a gun capable of accomplishing the feat of penetrating the IS-3 frontally. When doubts arose about the planned vehicle, FV215, coming into service before cold war hostilities in sufficient numbers, a stopgap order was issued in 1950. This utilised the Centurion MK3 hull and mounted a 183mm anti-tank gun. This was named the FV4005.

Pvkv II – Glass Cannon

Tank destroyers are obvious in what they do: they sport firepower and ammunition to take down tanks (obviously), whether light or heavy, with ease. However, certain tank destroyers, like the M10 or the StuG have armor to keep them alive in combat, and not all tank destroyers have access to such armor. That doesn’t stop tank destroyers like the small but mighty Pvkv II from picking their targets out like fish in a barrel.

SU-85A - The Low Tier Soviet Railgun

The SU-85A is the big brother of the SU-76M, featuring the same strengths and weaknesses but at a much higher Battle Rating. Unlike the SU-76M, it is armed with the 85mm D-5S cannon and has access to a wide variety of very potent ammunition types that excel at both short range and long range. The armor of the two vehicles is the same, with the only exception being a thin armor plate that covers the crew from the rear from low calibre machine guns.
