Project “Overpowered”
Good military vehicles aren’t only about their characteristics: they also need to be cheap to produce, easy to repair and open to serious upgrading. A perfect example of such a machine is the legendary Po-2 light bomber. This all-round great aircraft earned the love and respect of pilots 95 years ago, and now it has become famous among War Thunder players for its phenomenal capabilities when controlled by an experienced pilot. What a surprising coincidence it is, then, that Po-2 was chosen by the Organization as a platform for upgrades in Project “Overpowered”.

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.

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.
