The Type 4 15 cm self-propelled gun Ho-Ro (日本語: 四式十五糎自走砲 ホロ, Imperial Japanese Army Type 4 15 cm self-propelled gun Ho-Ro) was a self-propelled gun (SPG) used by the Imperial Japanese Army during WW2. It was built on the existing chassis of the Chi-Ha medium tank. It was hurried into service, and arrived at the front lines too late to make any lasting impact on Japan’s war effort.
Video game burn-out is common, and it happens to the best of us. War Thunder, like any other game, can get repetitive, for noobs and experienced players alike. Dying to the same meta vehicles becomes stale, especially if you are just trying to grind to your favorite plane, tank, or ship. In today’s post, I’m going to go over 8 ways to keep you motivated and wanting to keep playing War Thunder.
Boom and Zoom, also commonly referred to as Boom and Run, is a term used to describe an aviation tactic that can be used in War Thunder. Its primary focus is coming from a point of advantage, attacking the enemy, and then extending away. In today’s post, I’m going to teach you how to BnZ, when to use it, and what planes are best suited for it.
The Stridsvagn 103 (Strv 103), also referred to as the S-tank or Stridsvagn S, was a Swedish MBT manufactured by Bofors AB. It was in service during the Cold War, at a time where tank technology was rapidly advancing. The tank is instantly recognizable by its flat, turretless profile, and is frequently referred to as a cheese wedge or doorstop.
The 15 cm sIG 33 auf Fahrgestell Panzerkampfwagen II (Sf), also frequently called the Sturmpanzer II Bison, is a Rank 1 German tank destroyer and assault gun. It’s a very fun tank, equipped with a massive 150 mm cannon capable of obliterating anything at its tier, and even at higher tiers! However, it lacks armor and good mobility. In today’s post, I’ll be going over its strengths and weaknesses, and how to play it in Ground RB.
The Ki-100 (including the premium Ki-100-II) is a fighter-bomber found in the Japanese air tree. It may look similar to the Ki-61, because it is! It’s essentially a Ki-61 with a Ha-112 radial instead of a Ha-40 inline engine. It is known for its unique playstyle, which is a blend of energy and turn fighting. It can be equipped with some ordnance for Ground Battles. The Ki-100 and Ki-100-II are similar, the only differences being that the 100-II has a turbocharger under the engine. During the Second World War, it was introduced far too late, at a time when Japan was being bombed daily by B-29 Superfortresses.
It's been underestimated. It's been involuntarily towed around. It's been crushed by many Mauses. It's been made a meme by the War Thunder community, but at the same time, it's a fan favorite. However, when has anyone actually played it competitively? In today's post, I'm going to explain to you how to actually play the venerable L3/33 CC, a Rank I Italian tank destroyer. I'll go over its performance, strengths and weaknesses, and give you some pointers on how to play it in Ground RB.
The Yokosuka D4Y Suisei (彗星, “Comet”), called “Judy” by the Allies, are a collection of three Rank II light bomber aircraft that can be found in the Japanese air tree. While called bombers in the game description, these planes play more like heavy strike fighters, due to their great speed and agility.
Kamikaze (神風 “divine wind”) was a military tactic used in the later stages of the Second World War, used by pilots of the Imperial Japanese Air Force and Naval Air Service. The tactic consisted of an aircraft loaded with explosives; the pilot would then attempt to deliberately ram the aircraft into enemy ships to inflict damage.
The Vickers Wellington is a medium bomber found in the early stages of the British techtree. There is also a captured variant, the Wellington Mk Ic, found in the German tech tree as a premium. The Wellie was easily identified by its state-of-the-art geodetic airframe, which was not seen on anything other than airships at the time. These airplanes can hold thousands of pound of bombs, as well as torpedoes.
