The XM246 SPAAG and the Yak-28 bomber, early MBTs and Hellfire ATGMs — this week’s videos are ready to sate your curiosity and broaden your horizons!

How to Play with Hellfire?

Many helicopters in our game can use laser-guided anti-tank missiles that fly to the target along a lofting trajectory. The most famous such ATGMs are the American Hellfire missiles. In this video we’d like to tell you how to maximize their potential and negate their disadvantages.

Climbing the Ranks: First Steps to MBTs

Sooner or later, every War Thunder player faces the same question: what to aim for after the first few ranks? By Rank V, familiar World War II tanks give way to modern, more versatile machines — the main battle tanks, or MBTs. Vehicles like the T-55, Patton, and Centurion still carry echoes of wartime design, but a new philosophy of armored warfare is already beginning to emerge. Here we’ll explore this transitional era, looking at its tanks and helping you choose a vehicle line that matches your playstyle.

Let’s turn the heat up for tonight and enjoy some wonderful shots made from various ranges. Some of them are point blank! Quite literally.

And today we’re taking a ride in the American XM-246!

The barrier was quickly breached: first, by experimental models, then, by mass-produced fighters. Scientific achievements forced the world’s militaries to reconsider their requirements for vehicles in hopes of guessing the correct image of future aircraft.
