Developed in the early 1940s to serve as a long range fighter in the Pacific, the de Havilland Hornet was not only one of Britain’s fastest twin-engine heavy fighter ever built, but was also the last aircraft of its kind in service with the RAF, before new state-of-the-art jet-powered aircraft would take its place. Meet the new Hornet F.3 with War Thunder’s upcoming 1.71 update!

The BTR-152 is a six-wheeled armoured personnel carrier designed in the Soviet Union in the early days of the Cold War. The SPAA modification of this APC provided much needed cover for motorized infantry units against low flying aircraft. This modification has now set its sights to join the battle in War Thunder’s upcoming 1.71 update!

The XA-38 Grizzly was an experimental late-war American ground attacker design, that was intended to replace the aging A-20 Havoc. Although it was a promising design, a shift in priorities in the later stages of the war caused the project to ultimately be cancelled. Though the Grizzly never got the chance to show his sharp claws to the enemy in real combat, he will get a second chance to prove himself with War Thunder pilots in the upcoming 1.71 update!

WoT – Ranked Battle Q&A 26.08.2017

~ atikabubu ~ 27 Comments

The devs have changed how chevrons are earned, and how long the season will last. The season is divided into three stages, each seven days long.

How to gain or lose chevrons:

  • You gain chevrons for being in the top 10 players in the winning team, by earned XP
  • Players at places 11-15 in the winning team and 1-5 on the losing team don’t lose chevrons
  • You lose chevrons if you’re in the last ten of the players of the losing team

Q: When will we be able to play Ranked Battles with tanks other than Tier X?
A: Ranked Battles are perceives as added content for players who already have a Tier X. Currently we don’t have plans to expand the mode with other tiers, but that will depend on the player opinions and statistics, which we will collect after the end of the second season.

Q: Can I do Personal Missions in Ranked Battles.
A: No. In the second season beta, some daily missions will be doable not only in Random Battles, but also Ranked Battles. Additionally, you’ll be able to obtain Mastery Badges.

Q: Soon, you’ll be able to gain Bonds in the Grand Battle mode, and in Tier X Random Battles. What purpose is there for Ranked Battles now?
A: We increased the rewards for this season, and compared to other modes, Ranked Battles offer significantly increased Bond acquisition speed.

Serving primarily with the USMC during the Vietnam War, the M50 Ontos didn’t just earn a formidable reputation for looking scary, but also because of its deadly effectiveness in the precarious jungle environment of the Asian South East. Though the real thing didn’t manage to fulfill its designated role in real combat, the M50 Ontos will have every chance to show what it’s really capable of in War Thunder’s upcoming 1.71 update!

War Thunder – Rank VI Early Details

~ atikabubu

For us, War Thunder is a bit of a shooting range for 20th century combat vehicles, an opportunity to see vehicles from various nations and of different designs in one battle, study their features and characteristics until we can recreate them more or less accurately, easy and comfortable to control and make them interesting in terms of gameplay. And post-war main battle tanks (MBTs) meet the criteria.
