Book of Records: Aircraft Engines

Since the dawn of aviation, the power plant has always been a key component of any aircraft. Sometimes, engineers would even design not an engine for a plane, but a plane for an engine — like with the very first jet fighters. Today, we’re here to tell you about the most outstanding aircraft engines in our game.

Pages of History: Air Force Lighter

Germany started the Second World War with no heavy combat aircraft at hand.

After a few unsuccessful attempts, the He-177 Greif took to the skies on November 19, 1939.

KV-7: Triple Strike

In the early history of tanks, engineers would often use layouts with multiple cannons to improve the total firepower. But the recent War Thunder addition stands out even among those designs since it has no less than three barrels side by side! We’re talking about a Soviet heavy tank destroyer, the KV-7.
