The M901 ITV (Improved TOW vehicle) is an American armored vehicle introduced into service in 1979, and designed to carry a dual M220 TOW launcher. The US used the M901 in Operation Desert Storm, where it is credited with 14 kills. The M901 is not so different from the playstyle of those familiar with ATGM carriers. With its dual TOW launcher, and the iconic BGM-71 TOW missile in its arsenal, this lightly armored vehicle packs a heavy punch against tanks that pose a threat to it.
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.
For players familiar with playing the M46 with its HEAT-FS and decent mobility, it is no different when playing in the M47 Patton II, as it still retains the APCBC with HE filler and HEAT-FS for long-range engagements, all with a similarly powerful gun to boot. However, this tank differs from the M46 in a couple of things, which we’ll dive into in this article.
Named after John J. Pershing, General of the Armies and mentor to many of the Generals that led America to victory during the Second World War, the M26 Pershing was the U.S. Army’s first heavy tank to see frontline service during the conflict. Although its service was limited, the Pershing proved to be one of the most important vehicles in U.S. military history for other reasons than its combat performance.
Throughout the vast majority of the Second World War, the M4 Sherman served as the backbone of the United States Army. However, just as the Sherman was entering mass production, there were already plans to design a successor vehicle. Named after the legendary General of the Armies John J. Pershing, the M26 was built to counter the increasing number of Axis heavy tanks that were entering service.
The F4U-4B is an American naval fighter. It has an amazing engine that provides a great top speed and good climb rate. This and its airframe make it excellent at using energy against its opponents. On top of that, it possesses an incredible amount of firepower. However, its compression makes maneuvering at high speeds difficult. It is a very powerful plane that anyone could pick up.
The M551 Sheridan, described with a single expression, would in my opinion be 'the black sheep of the family'. Very much unlike its peers, the Sheridan stands out simply for the fact that it comes equipped with a powerful, large caliber gun. The 152mm Gun/Launcher allows the Sheridan to engage targets at all ranges, be they long or short, and it’s not particularly held back by its mobility either — it’s a staggering 8 tons lighter than the 23-ton M41 Bulldog! However, the Sheridan’s shortcomings are just as polarizing as its armament, with its armor being woefully inadequate at protecting the vehicle and the lack of a laser rangefinder leaving its sustained long-range performance fairly mediocre. While not the most intuitive vehicle to use, once familiarized the Sheridan can offer much for your lineup — let’s find out just how it performs, and if the black sheep of the family can find itself a home in your hangar!
In the early morning of December 7, 1941, Japan launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, taking the lives of many American servicemen and crippling much of the U.S. Pacific Fleet while at port. Outraged and united by the rallying cry “Remember Pearl Harbor,” the United States declared war on Japan. In the rapid industrial mobilization that followed, new warships were named in honor of the courageous officers who perished during the attack; among these was the USS Bennion, named for a valiant battleship commander who made the ultimate sacrifice at Pearl Harbor. This is the story of her service in the war.
The USS Newport News is a Vietnam War-era heavy cruiser that was introduced into War Thunder during the 2022 Winter Fest event in her 1972 refit. In this article, we will cover how the vessel can be obtained, her auto-loading 8-inch guns, impressive long-range anti-air capabilities aided by radars, decent mobility, and troubled survivability. Finally, we will explore the vessel’s usage in battles, as well as a few features that are present on the ship but not implemented in the game. The Newport News was the last all-gun heavy cruiser to serve in any navy, making her an interesting addition to any player’s collection.
