Thunder Show: CHOO-CHOO

Australia Day

On January 26th, 1788, the British First Fleet landed at Sydney Cove, proclaiming British sovereignty over New South Wales and the founding of Sydney. Nowadays January 26th is the main state holiday — Australia Day. Congratulations to all our Australian players!

Japanese Jets of WW2

“Japanese jets of WW2”? What do you mean? They didn’t have any, did they?.. Actually, it’s not as clear-cut as you might think. What do we even consider a proper jet aircraft? For instance, the revolutionary German Me 163 Komet was actually rocket-powered and not a jet, while the P-51 Mustang or the Soviet LaGG-3 actually had some features of a jet aircraft.

Hi! Welcome to Thunder Show and the most beautiful moments of the past week. Today we’re going to see some combat wit (ain’t that a frequent sight?), a pest invasion, and one of the most thrilling duels of this January! Let’s get started!

Battle Pass vehicles: AMX-50 (TO90/930)

The main tank prize in the upcoming Battle Pass season “Royal guard” is a new member of the AMX-50 family, a premium French tank equipped with a 90mm gun, oscillating turret and autoloader!

Meet the aircraft prize of the upcoming season! A Premium winter version of the Bf 109 F-4 coated with a livery of the most effective Hungarian ace Dezső Szentgyörgyi!

Tactics: Chinese MBTs

China started building tanks in the middle of the 20th century. First, the country set up production of components for the Soviet T-34, then started manufacturing the Type 59, a local variant of the T-54A. This was the vehicle that single-handedly kickstarted the Chinese tank industry – the tank with a Chinese body and a Soviet soul.

Battle Pass vehicles: Project 183 BM-21

The Cold war Soviet torpedo boat gets into a gun frenzy with a BM-21 "Grad" multiple launch rocket system mounted instead of the rear turret!

Happy Lunar New Year!

Swedish Armed Forces Day

The history of the Swedish Armed Forces goes back half a millennium, when Gustav Vasa led a rebellion against Denmark, secured Sweden’s independence and became its king. On January 14th, 1521, sixteen young men were chosen to be Gustav’s life guards. And even today, the Life Guards are one of the largest units in the Swedish Armed Forces.

Book of Records: Swedish Aircraft

Sweden didn’t fight in either of the World Wars of the 20th century. The country managed to stay away from armed conflicts thanks to its long-lasting policy of neutrality backed by a strong military. In order for things to stay that way, the Swedish both bought combat vehicles designed elsewhere and developed their own. Today we’re going to talk specifically about the most extraordinary aircraft made in Sweden: from the lightning-quick Draken to the unusual-looking A21.
