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!

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!

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.

The Fulda Gap, our new location for combined battles, is perfectly suited for rank VI vehicles. This picturesque mountain valley on the border of East Germany and West Germany could have been the epicenter of an unsurvivable Third World War. The Fulda Gap gave both sides in the Cold War the ability to quickly bring armoured vehicles to strategically important centers and transportation hubs, offering a decisive advantage in a new global war. This is why combat-ready contingents from the Warsaw Pact nations and the western alliance maintained a presence here right up until the reunification of Germany.

Developed from a need to counter a new weapon from the other side of the Iron Curtain, the MBT-70 and the KPz-70 were the result of a joint effort between engineers from West Germany and the United States that attempted to create a brand new, high-tech MBT design by combining their resources and experience. Coming with update 1.71, the MBT-70 and the KPz-70 will have a chance to prove the effectiveness of its design by clashing against other MBTs of the time period, including the one that initiated its development in the first place!

Not much to say here. It’s either an M60A3 or the Magach, not sure.

Developed in the early 1960s, the T-64 was the first tank in the world to feature composite armour protection and was, in many ways, a revolutionary design that would not only kick off development of the next generation of Soviet tanks, but would also announce the dawn of a new era of tank development. The T-64 is being readied to join the fight in War Thunder’s 1.71 update, to once more change the face of the battlefield forever.
