Third generation fighter jets, advanced MBTs, really special combat vehicles from Asia and Africa… There were many additions to the game’s roster requiring you to adjust your playstyle, but then there were just as many highly approachable vehicles, well-suited for players of any skill level.

This is the list of the best, most interesting vehicles of 2021 that are a part of the regular tech tree — so if you’re looking for something new to try this holiday season, any of these vehicles should be a really good pick!
