The BI is an experimental Soviet rocket-powered aircraft, designed during WWII and envisioned to become a short-range defensive interceptor. Pilots in War Thunder will have the chance to further harness the power of rocket-propelled flight by obtaining the BI as one of the top prizes for participating in the upcoming crafting event “Strategist”!



The BI is a high rank Soviet rocket-powered interceptor and one of the more exotic prizes for the upcoming crafting event “Strategist” in War Thunder. Giving Soviet pilots also the chance to experience rocket-propelled flight, the BI functions on the same principles as the Me 163 and Ki-200 already familiar to many pilots. The aircraft’s rocket propulsion allows it to get into the action fast, thanks to high acceleration, top speed and climb rate, but at the same time, prevents it from lingering in combat for too long due to its limited fuel supply of just 2 minutes on WEP mode. As a result, the BI requires clever fuel management to extend its combat endurance.



Further emphasizing the BI’s “hit-’n’-run” nature are its weapons. Namely, the BI is armed with a punchy pair of 20mm ShVAK cannons, although only carrying 45 rounds of ammunition each. This means that pilots will need to make the most out of the limited combat time they have available to ensure no bullet goes to waste!

Be sure to add this highly unusual and unique aircraft to your in-game collection by taking part in the upcoming War Thunder event. Good hunting pilots!
