Twin-Boom Aircraft: Vanishing Species

In the early days of aviation, as the field of aircraft design was just beginning to take shape, engineers were constantly experimenting with new airframe concepts. Aerodynamic layouts ranged from groundbreaking innovations to outright oddities. Many were quickly tested, and while some faded into obscurity, others laid the groundwork for future advancements. Among these was the twin-boom design, which offered several advantages: streamlined engine placement, efficient landing gear configuration with a nose wheel for easier takeoffs and landings, and the ability to mount heavy armaments without gun synchronizers. This design also allowed gunners in the central nacelle a wide range of fire coverage.

Mirage 2000D-RMV: Updated Sky Fighter

Today we’re going to ride another top-ranking attack aircraft. Please welcome one of the latest modifications of the French Mirage 2000D, the Rénovation Mi-Vie, or RMV for short, which means ‘mid-life upgrade’.

[Bob's Guide] The Mi-24 "Super Hind"

Hello everyone, and welcome to the War Thunder Wiki 3.0! In this video and my first article on Wiki 3.0, I will guide you through the Mi-24 "SuperHind"! We will be taking a look at the history, modules and armaments that the SuperHind has.

Book of Records: Aircraft Engines

Since the dawn of aviation, the power plant has always been a key component of any aircraft. Sometimes, engineers would even design not an engine for a plane, but a plane for an engine — like with the very first jet fighters. Today, we’re here to tell you about the most outstanding aircraft engines in our game.

Air Force Lighter — He-177

Germany started the Second World War with no heavy combat aircraft at hand. Still, they’d been trying to build a long-range bomber capable of reaching targets in Great Britain and the Soviet Union since 1934. After a few unsuccessful attempts, the He-177 Greif took to the skies on November 19, 1939.

KV-7: Triple Strike

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.

Path to New-Gen Tanks

Soon after World War 2, the Soviet Union created the T-54 tank. It was such a successful project and set such a high bar that the machine stayed in production for decades. Designing a better replacement turned out to be a hard task. Soviet engineers spent ages trying to make a radically new vehicle. One of those attempts was a tank known as the Object 140.

F-15E Strike Eagle: Versatile Perfection

Now that we’ve seen one fighter-bomber, it’s time to meet its main competitor! Please welcome the F-15E Strike Eagle! This plane can be equally good at achieving air superiority and delivering strikes at ground targets.

All Bomb Types in War Thunder

Our game regularly adds new models and types of munitions. Today we’d like to talk about the variety and unique features of bombs.

Pages of History: First Stealth Aircraft

History remembers a lot of great aircraft, but there’s a special place reserved for machines that managed to pull off a revolution. One of those aircraft is the American F-117 Nighthawk. As soon as it took off, it sparked a lot of myths and became a true legend.
