The Hornet is a British single-seat two-engine heavy fighter developed by de Havilland as a successor to the iconic Mosquito. Entering service in 1946, it had outstanding performance for a piston-engine aircraft. However, it was too late to fight in WW2 and was doomed to be outclassed by jet-powered fighters in the new era of aviation. Nevertheless, the plane participated in the so-called Malayan Emergency as a ground striker. In this article, we will look at the Hornet’s characteristics, playstyle, and how to use it properly.

The Bf 109 (or Me 109) really needs no introduction. It is one of the most famous and popular aircraft of the Second World War, and the fighter with the most aerial victories ever. In my previous article, I wrote about the history of the Messer’s development. This one will focus on these fighters in War Thunder (primarily in Air RB), their performance, strengths & weaknesses, tactics, recommendations, and some fancy graphs.

The Bf 109 was, without a doubt, a legendary warplane of World War 2. Alongside the Fw 190, the famed Messer was one of the main single-engine fighters of the German Luftwaffe until the very end of the war in 1945, but some countries still used its modifications up until the 1950s and even '60s.
