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.

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.

The P-51B Mustang was one of the first true long range fighters developed by the U.S. during World War 2. The following is a guide using official USAAF documentation. In order to simplify gameplay, many of these steps are currently impossible to be completed in game and the startup procedure is fully automated by the instructor.

The AH-6M Little Bird, later nicknamed the “Killer Egg”, is a tiny, cute, but still formidable and dangerous helicopter to fight. Great maneuverability and advanced weaponry against ground units, consisting of long-range ATGMs and an array of unguided rockets, work wonders against your enemies. What can you do with all this weaponry, and how do you use your small size to your advantage? All these questions will be answered and explained in this article.

The development of jet aviation brought the world such famous deltas as the MiG-21 and the Mirage. However, their American counterparts did not enjoy similar success. The Air Force was left with only a failure of F-102 and an attempt to improve it, the F-106. This attempt was successful, and after the aircraft entered service in 1959, pilots deeply loved it for its excellent performance. In the game, the Delta Dart lives up to that love. It's a fast aircraft with powerful air-to-air weapons and an unusual missile layout in the bomb bay. So, what's the catch?

The B-18A Bolo is an American medium bomber designed in the interwar period, developed from the Douglas DC-2 civilian airliner. It is the first medium bomber available in the American aviation tech tree, and despite its somewhat low top speed, weak defensive armament and rather poor manoeuvrability, its bomb capacity is actually pretty adequate for different missions and allows players to obtain satisfying results when using this aircraft.

The F2H-2 Banshee, is an early American jet fighter produced from 1947 to 1953 to be used by the US Navy. This aircraft was surprisingly good in real life and in game, and this article will cover how to use it in battle and a history on its real life usage, variants, and development.

Lockheed is known for making unusual aircraft. The company's legendary creations include the F-104, the U-2, and the SR-71. Another well known plane is the F-117, the first stealth aircraft with its distinctive shape. But why and how was it designed this way? Read more in our infographic.

The P-26 Peashooter is a family of American monoplane fighters developed by Boeing during the interwar period. In War Thunder, it serves as an introduction to the USA’s aviation tech tree, where it stands out for being a monoplane fighter, rather than a biplane, contrary to what other nations have at its tier. That being said, its flight performance and armament is not too dissimilar from those biplanes, albeit with some minor differences.

Tanks have been in service for over 100 years, starting in the trenches of WW1 and still fighting today. While the first designs were slow, massive, and under-armed, they were still revolutionary, introducing an entirely new way to fight wars. Many tank designs from many nations aimed to create the fastest, the toughest, and the strongest tanks. However, one of the most famous of them all is the United States' M1 Abrams. First fielded in the 1980s, it has since fought across the world from Europe to Iraq and it has gone through over 40 years of combat and upgrades. Today, we will explore the history of the Abrams and its impact on American tank design.
