Ferocious Warthog

Even the looks of the A-10 are nothing short of iconic. Just look at it! It’s hard to believe that in 2022 this fearsome winged predator celebrates its 50th anniversary… and has no plans to retire any time soon, even though there were numerous attempts to replace it. Actually, the first of those were made almost immediately after the first A-10 Thunderbolt II rolled off the factory floor.

The German Helgoland-class dreadnought wielding heavy armor and 305mm guns comes to the game as one of the prizes in the upcoming autumn crafting event. A true old school battleship!

Special

Battle of Britain Day

On September 15th, 1940, the Luftwaffe performed its largest air attack on Great Britain, wanting to destroy the Royal Air Force. The Germans sent 620 fighters and 500 bombers to London, hoping to draw out and defeat the RAF. And yet RAF pilots held off and in the end downed twice as many enemy aircraft as the Luftwaffe did. Having failed in the sky, Germany scrapped its plans of invading the UK.

Best Postwar SPGs

WW2 was a massive proving ground for all sorts of armoured vehicles. In any theatre of operations, the sky was ablaze with fire of countless tanks and artillery units. During that time, SPGs like the Soviet Su-152 or the German StuG earned their way into the pantheon of military history – and today we’re going to talk about the best postwar SPGs available in War Thunder: the French Foch, the Soviet Su-122-54 and other interesting vehicles.
