How did the old M60 remain relevant in the 21st century? How were the F/A-18 and F-106A Six-Shooter developed? How do you use CCRP well? Answers to these questions await you in new videos on the War Thunder YouTube channel!

CCRP Bombing

Players who like to provide close air support in high-rank combat are probably familiar with ballistic computers that calculate the drop point for your bombs. It’s a widely popular feature that often overshadows another useful tool: Continually Computed Release Point, or simply CCRP. Today we’d like to talk about how it works and how you can use it.

F/A-18 — Carrier-Based All-Rounder

In the final decades of the Cold War, American aviation stood ready for nearly any challenge. Pilots had fully transitioned to a trio of new fighter jets, each a reflection of the United States’ doctrinal and technological advancements. The F-14 Tomcat and F-15 Eagle ensured air superiority over sea and land, while the lightweight F-16 Fighting Falcon proved to be the ultimate multirole workhorse.

In this episode we’re going to have a few explosions. Or more than a few...

F-106A Six-Shooter: Sky Guardian

War Thunder has recently added one unique aircraft: an American supersonic interceptor created in the late 1950s to counteract Soviet bomber armadas with nuclear missiles. Its striking visuals are a great match to the unusual technical solutions implemented in its design. We mean, of course, the F-106 Delta Dart!

M60 in the 21st Century

By the 21st century, even the best tanks made in the early years of the Cold War have become obsolete. German Leopards, Soviet T-54s, British Centurions... All of them were made in the times before battlefields became saturated with numerous anti-tank weapons like missiles and drones. These tanks managed to stay relevant thanks to modernization programs, but even those efforts could only support them for so long. However, there are some exceptional vehicles. The American M60 turned out to be a great platform for a budget tank in the early 21st century — or at least in the last decades of the 20th century. Engineers of various nations succeeded in revitalizing the tried-and-true combat vehicle. It had just enough potential for a second chance.
