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.

More fuel to the copy-paste fire. Also I and many others already have the Whirlwind, which is barely different than the tech tree version. It is also quite a bad vehicle all things considered. How about we get a new, exciting vehicle instead of recycling old vehicles no one wants? Same issue with the Russian boat in the event. How many more Russian vehicles and copy-pastes can we get? Super disappointed with the event vehicles so far.
high tier is good and all but we need more low tier. maybe next event or update could be all about biplanes. you know the vehicles that are unique and underrepresented ingame. oh well atleast some people will like these planes. but you guys need to stop adding more modern stuff and add the planes that started it all. wuch as ww1 and the interwar. atleast in the near future when you add every modern vehicle and add as many nations as possible you will be forced to add ww1.
God damn it Gaijin. You know I don't like these RNG events. But you also know I'll do them anyway because the vehicles actually somewhat interest me.
Oh wow, when did the P.9 get four Hispanos? I thought it had two and two MG when it came out...
YOU GIVE FRANCE AND AMERICA A BRITISH ATTACK HELICOPTER WITHOUT GIVING THE BRITISH IT AT ALL?!?!?!
I stand corrected, it was originally american!
If the Whirlwind is returning, is there any confirmation on the Ki-84-II returning? A reply would be appreciated
Sorry, I meant Ki-94-II
Seems like reward list for the event was looking bit short so old Whirly gotten thrown in.
imagine if you guys had stuck to Chronological BR and saved yourselves the Balancing Grief! meanwhile Whirlwind and Maneuverability in same sentence Next you gunna bring back the Fairey Battle as a Premium!
So... With this, there are chances for Ki-94-II returning as well as other vehicles that players may have missed?
thank you for bring back the whirlwind p.9 i'm glad other players will get a chance to earn it. i love mine.
