Missile Tank Destroyers
The 20th century introduced tanks – combat vehicles with sturdy armour and powerful guns that quickly became the backbone to land combat operations. After WW1, they played a part in almost every big conflict, so it’s only natural that with time people came up with special weapons to counter this armoured threat – like anti-tank guided missiles that were introduced in the 1950s. Today we’re going to talk about the best missile tank destroyers in War Thunder, from the German Wiesel to the Soviet Khrizantema.

StuG III
The most well-known vehicles of the Wehrmacht are obviously the fearsome Panthers, the thick armoured Ferdinands and the mighty Tigers. On paper, those vehicles were almost perfect, but in reality each of them came with at least a few big caveats, from their exorbitant price to overly complicated maintenance. Regardless, there was still A LOT of work in the field that needed to be done, and that work was mostly carried out by less flashy or famous tanks, like the Panzerkampfwagen IV – and SPGs, like the Sturmgeschutz III, also known as the StuG.
