How to Actually Play War Thunder's Tiniest Tank Destroyer - The L3/33 CC

It's been underestimated. It's been involuntarily towed around. It's been crushed by many Mauses. It's been made a meme by the War Thunder community, but at the same time, it's a fan favorite. However, when has anyone actually played it competitively? In today's post, I'm going to explain to you how to actually play the venerable L3/33 CC, a Rank I Italian tank destroyer. I'll go over its performance, strengths and weaknesses, and give you some pointers on how to play it in Ground RB.

The Archer: Why the Gun Always Thinks in Reverse

The Archer was one of the most unusual tanks of World War II, developed and produced by Britain. It was based on the chassis of the Valentine infantry tank and armed with the 17-pounder anti-tank gun. What made the Archer unique was that its gun faced the rear of the vehicle, meaning the tank often had to be reversed into firing position. Approximately 665 units were built.

Jagdpanther G1: Predatory Panther

The Jagdpanther G1 is a German tank destroyer based on the Panther chassis. It shares the gun of the Tiger II, allowing it to penetrate almost any tank that it will face, which makes it excel at attacking tanks. Moreover, its solid mobility allows it to serve as an effective flanker. Its frontal armor allows it to bounce the shells of most tanks. While the casemate design can be difficult to adapt to at first, it is an incredibly rewarding tank to master.

KV-7 (U-13) — The Triple-Barreled Monster

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.

History of the Ho-Ro – A Chi-Ha, with a howitzer!

The Type 4 15 cm self-propelled gun Ho-Ro (日本語: 四式十五糎自走砲 ホロ, Imperial Japanese Army Type 4 15 cm self-propelled gun Ho-Ro) was a self-propelled gun (SPG) used by the Imperial Japanese Army during WW2. It was built on the existing chassis of the Chi-Ha medium tank. It was hurried into service, and arrived at the front lines too late to make any lasting impact on Japan’s war effort.

The Panzerwerfer 42 And How To Play It

The Panzerwerfer 42, due to its unusual armament and unorthodox layout, is often found difficult to use by newer players. Thus, the purpose of this article is to provide gameplay advice on the best ways to utilize this vehicle in battles. This article will focus on Ground Realistic Battles, but most of the information contained within it should be useful in Ground Arcade Battles as well.

Type 5 Na-To: Japan's forgotten tank destroyer

During the Pacific War, Japanese tanks severely lacked anti-tank capabilities. Guns such as the Type 94 37 mm gun and short-barreled 57 mm gun had very low penetration. Japanese officials started the development of a new anti-tank gun that would be capable of dealing with American tanks such as the M3 Light Tank and M4 Medium Tank. The development of this new gun resulted in the Type 5 Na-To, an SPG prototype using an experimental 75 mm anti-tank gun, a rather obscure and forgotten tank from the Japanese army and in War Thunder.

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.

[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.

The 15 cm sIG 33 auf Fahrgestell Panzerkampfwagen II (Sf), also frequently called the Sturmpanzer II Bison, is a Rank 1 German tank destroyer and assault gun. It’s a very fun tank, equipped with a massive 150 mm cannon capable of obliterating anything at its tier, and even at higher tiers! However, it lacks armor and good mobility.
