The TB-3M-27-32 is a rare and very solid low rank bomber. Although it is quite slow, it has a very good payload for its rank and good survivability. It has various payload options ranging from FAB-100 bombs to FAB-500. It has a total of 5 gunners with an overall good coverage, particularly above the aircraft. The aircraft's large size makes it somewhat durable against enemy fire, although it will struggle to fly at all with extensive damage due to its already very low top speed.
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.
The Project 253 was a very successful minesweeper. It and its derivatives saw operational success, relatively low loss rates, and served for nearly 60 years in a military capacity across 8 different navies. While obscure, it nonetheless played its role, even if a small one, in the course of naval military history. Even today, these vessels continue to live on in civilian service.
Object 292 (Объект 292) is a vehicle based on the chassis of a T-80B with a modified turret from a T-80BV capable of housing the powerful 152.4 mm LP-83 cannon. It can fire two types of ammunition: APFSDS and HE. This vehicle emerged as one of the last efforts of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to develop main battle tanks (MBTs) with greater firepower, capable of disabling any Western MBT of its era with a single shot.
The I-225 is a Soviet rank IV fighter with a BR of 5.0. It excels as a low-speed dogfighter but struggles at high speeds and isn’t ideal for quickly racking up kills. The aircraft demands experience to handle effectively, as its punishing flight characteristics leave little room for error despite its strengths. While unique and rewarding, the I-225 is best suited for skilled players rather than beginners.
The MiG-23ML/MLA (NATO reporting name: Flogger) is a Soviet third-generation fighter jet. Designed to address the shortcomings of the previous MiG-23M/MF, the MiG-23ML variant features a lighter airframe, an improved and more powerful engine, additional countermeasure dispensers, enhanced avionics, and more effective weaponry when compared to the standard MiG-23s. The MiG-23ML is functionally identical to the German MiG-23MLA, and the MLA will be referred to as the ML in this article.
Among the T-34s used by the Soviet Army as they marched towards Germany, there ought to be a number of M4A2 Shermans within the inventory. A sign of cooperation between the distant Allies, the M4A2 Sherman was provided to the Soviet Union as part of the Lend-Lease program that led America and Britain to supply critical material and equipment to the Soviets. The M4A2 Sherman helped set-up several significant units for the Soviet Union to use in the Great Patriotic War to fight both the Germans and Japanese to the war's conclusion.
In the early history of tanks, engineers would often use layouts with multiple cannons to improve the total firepower. But the recent War Thunder addition stands out even among those designs since it has no less than three barrels side by side! We’re talking about a Soviet heavy tank destroyer, the KV-7.
When the Soviet Navy needed to replace their aging Svetlana-class and Admiral Nakhimov-class cruisers, they recognized a lack of expertise and infrastructure to construct large cruisers independently. As a result, they sought foreign assistance to design and build a new light cruiser. This new vessel would later serve as an influential model for Soviet shipbuilders to develop more advanced cruisers in the future.
