Best Interceptors!
Historically speaking, interceptors are a type of fighter aircraft designed specifically to counter enemy bombers and reconnaissance aircraft. There are two general classes of interceptor: light fighters, operated over short range, – and heavy fighters which can be used in adverse weather conditions and over longer ranges. Today, we’re talking about the best interceptors available in War Thunder!

Art of Winning: AMX-50
Project 141 was a very important milestone for the French tank industry. The first attempts to design a new universal combat platform date back to 1945, but the work took 13 years to complete. In time, the vehicle developed through that project received two more names: the M4... and the one that most people know today – the AMX-50. In War Thunder, tanks of this series can be found at Rank 4 and Rank 5 of the French tech tree. Today we’re going to discuss their playstyle, which is unorthodox but effective nevertheless.
