As they entered the Cold War, American attack aircraft consisted of lofting propeller aircraft that could carry enormous payloads to strike critical targets or support the troops on the ground. As such, when searching for the successor for the AD Skyraider attack aircraft, one could be surprised to see that such a small aircraft like the A-4 was chosen to continue the legacy. However, its tiny stature proved ideal for the confined aircraft carrier spaces of the US Navy and US Marine Corps and helped perform many strike missions into areas like North Vietnam.
The characteristics and capabilities of the TBD-1 Devastator are quite remarkable: like any other American bomber, it is well armed compared to its competitors: it can carry a large number of bombs of different calibers, has a defensive turret with good aiming angles and a large caliber Browning M2 machine gun. All this makes the plane not just an ordinary "bomb hauler", but an almost universal "predator" capable of destroying enemy targets on land, sea and in the air. However, its flight characteristics are not so good. You can read more about the TBD-1 in this article.
The M1A1 HC tank, developed in the mid-1980s, was a tank built to accommodate changes into the M1 Abrams design for the United States Marine Corp (USMC) to replace their M60A1 tank. Production began in November 1990, incorporating changes like deep-wading adapters and stronger tie-downs. The USMC received 269 units by 1992, with additional transfers and upgrades continuing until 2005. The M1A1 HC saw sterling combat service in the USMC in the Gulf War, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
The M1 KVT mirrors the M1 Abrams in all of its combat capabilities. It is truly one of the best MBTs of its rank, thanks to its rather heavily armoured turret, excellent mobility and high rate of fire, which together allow the player to set the rules of engagement and not be dependent on certain maps or other conditions. In addition to the visual differences from the original, the M1 KVT also has premium bonuses that speed up the research of the US ground tree.
18-inch Mk.7 was an American lightweight torpedo developed by Bliss-Leavitt in 1911 as the first American torpedo used on submarines and surface vessels alike. By 1917 an airborne Mk.7 Type D variant was developed, but it has never seen serial production. Mk. 7 remained in service until the end of the World War 2, primarily on the O-type submarines.
The American 22.5-inch Mk.13 torpedo was a problem child for the Navy: it took a long time to design, it was unreliable, and it was not ready for service until 1936. But in the game it became one of the best American torpedoes. It is also available on both aircraft and torpedo boats. Read more about this universal torpedo in the article.
The M46 Patton emerged from the modernization of the M26 Pershing to address the evolving needs of the US Army. With significant upgrades in engine power, transmission, and firepower, the M46 would play a crucial role during the Korean War. Despite technical challenges, the M46’s deployment marked a significant advancement in tank technology, bridging the gap between World War II designs and the more modern tanks that followed.
