History

Designed under the 1911 build program, the Iron Duke class of British super dreadnoughts were considered repeats of the preceding King George V class, but featured a reinforced to 6 inch (152mm) secondary battery and improved protection. HMS Ma...

In the beginning, Sweden bought most of its aircraft abroad. But then there was a moment when they couldn’t get enough P-35s from the US, and after it, the government decided to support domestic production and development of military aircraft, and Saab was the company that rose to the challenge.

One of the prototypes created during development of the Italian Dardo IFV, featuring a 30mm quick firing Bushmaster II gun and a commander’s sight.

VCC-80/30, light tank, Italy, rank VII.

Features

Effective rapid firing 30mm gun


ATGM TOW-2B


Commander sight and modern control system

During the development of the Dardo IFV, several variants of chassis and turrets with different guns took part in the competition. The prototype VCC-80 with a HITFIST turret is slightly higher than Dardo, and designed to mount the American 30mm Bushmaster II cannon. Despite the more advanced fire control system and an additional electro-optical periscope for the commander, the military preferred a more compact version of the turret with a 25...

In this digest we would like to tell you about our continuing work on improvements and fixes in the game. You can find information about all updates that have been released in War Thunder on the website special section.

Dead tanks stole the FPS!

Not all ground vehicles though. The issue might happen with clones of the same vehicle in an area - for example, backup vehicles in random battles, or copies of the vehicle in custom battles with unlimited respawn. Anyway, no dead tank will steal your precious FPS anymore. It’s fixed!

Polishing the respawn marker

Recently new markers appeared to highlight the respawn zones on the minimap. We continue to make it better - this time, we fixed the overlapping of the respawn zone frame with other markers. For example, airfields with respawn points for bombers and the strike aircr...

The Italian Leone-class destroyers were ordered to replace the more obsolete and worn out ships of the Regia Marina.

In the period of 1921-1922 th...

Hmm, I just logged in to WT via Steam Client.

Have you tried to update your steam client (restart it, sometimes it force update)?

Please do not:

1.1.13 Discuss usage of cheats, exploits, hacks, illegal golden eagle farming or any related topic.

If you suspect someone of using forbidden modifications, please use server replay to check it and report it. Thanks!

AFAIK Tu-2 was a gif given to anyone who registered before open beta. I do not remember any "mission" requirements for it.

Ok, I got explanation from Support.

Your first battle in game got place in January 2013.

It means you did not actively participated in tests (2012). Sorry

So you already contacted support?

From what I can see, your registration is set on January 2013. Sadly, we cannot help you here. Maybe support will be able to solve the riddle. Log in here and contact them via ticket please.

Added:

The ‘trigger’ distance of non-contact target sensors now depends on the diameter of the target missile. Non-contact sensors of SAM and air-to-air missiles could be triggered by missiles of diameters of 80mm or above, the maximum ‘trigger’ distance might be achieved against missiles of diameters of 200mm or above.


9М113 ATGM — the diameter of the missile has been corrected, the armour piercing value has been reduced from 600mm to 500mm.

quick test

There are two main approaches to designing main battle tanks. The western way… and the Soviet way, A typical NATO tank is a relatively big vehicle operated by a four man crew and armed with a 120mm gun with good elevation. Soviet engineers usually go for a low profile, a densely packed interior and a 125mm gun with an autoloader. Sometimes, though, engineers decide to walk the middle path, making good use of ideas and design choices of both schools of tank design. That’s basically what happened in the People's Republic of China, where Soviet tanks were eventually used as a base for original local designs.
