Whirlwind P.9 - an experimental pre-production vehicle, the direct ancestor of the British Whirlwind Mk.I heavy fighter. Development of the aircraft began in 1937 and the aircraft in this series had plenty of time to fight against German aircraft and ships during the Battle of Britain. This twin-engine aircraft has a battery of four 20 mm Hispano cannons in its nose, which makes it an effective vehicle for destroying not only air, but also ground and smaller naval targets.
For its size, the Whirlwind maneuvers quite well and is perfect to control. In our game, the Whirlwind P.9 will be a rank III premium heavy fighter in the British lineup.
The H-34 Choctaw is already well known to War Thunder players as an entry level helicopter in the French lineup. During our event, the Choctaw returns to its “historical homeland”, and so accordingly, we present the US version of the helicopter sporting different weaponry compared to its French counterpart. The vehicle first entered service with the US Navy in 1955 and later to the US army (in 1956).
The US version differs from the licensed French version as a result of its weaponry composition - available armament presets include a Bullpup missile paired with a 20 mm gun, a machine gun paired with ‘Mighty Mouse’ Folding-Fin Aerial Rockets, and a collection of machine gun pods, a 20 mm gun, and HVAR rockets.
Vehicles covered will be available in Operation “Shipyard” which we will discuss later.

I like the idea of a helicopter being an event vehicle for once. Just please don't make this a build-a-bear event.
A bit sad that the plane reward for that event will be the Whirlwind, which I already have. With the crazy looking tank reward I expected something truely unique for Air Forces. But I guess it's fair game for those who didn't get it at the time, still nice to see old rewards coming back for the unlucky and new players.
maybe you get a coupon for the plane so you can 'trade', they did this with a sd.kfz.234/3 in the past.
Ich_Soll_Torte, But what happens when you can't trade it for anything you don't have? If I recall correctly, the last event where you could trade the coupon included a list of tradeables that I already had. Then what? Sell it on the market for like $5 because the P.9 is that bad? Seems pretty oof to me so far, super disappointing event.
I am glad to see US equipment in the US tree, by any means. Tired of fighting allies with US or US assisted weaponry instead of decent Nato/Warsaw or Axis/Allies separation in RB. Also, glad to not be a game developer, trying to appease the other idiots commenting below, especially those wishing for more ridiculous concept/test flight/experimental crap added. I had hoped this would be solely a Naval Equipment Event, or expansion of Naval into RB-mixed or WW events. Ah, well, maybe later.
yay! more copy n paste vehicles , gaijin is so lazy nowadays there is better things then adding useless helis and a copy n paste plane. The tank event vehicle is actually unique so why don't you do the same with everything else instead of this boring mess.
Its actually great to see old event vehicles coming back.
Will the H-34 be premium or no?
Nice to see an old vehicle being added as a bonus. wondering when the la174 or the me 262 A-a2 will be added back for some times event.
oohhh look at the chopper with its bullpup xd not 16 missiles, not 8 missiles, not even 4, but one little bullpup lol
"captured experimental aircraft" ahahahahahahahahah that's glorious.
The H-34 is a premium or not?
