The Peac*ck-class, was a class of five corvettes built for the Royal Navy in the mid 1980’s, specifically with the purpose of serving in the Hong Kong region. Soon, British captains in War Thunder will have the opportunity to stand behind the helm of this unique warship arriving with the “Raining Fire!” major update!

In War Thunder, the Peac*ck corvette will be a new vessel awaiting all captains at rank II of the British naval tree in the upcoming update. Staying true to the British “slow and steady” approach, the Peac*ck corvette offers its aspiring captains a much different experience than most other vessels found at the second rank of the British naval tree.

Beginning with the Peac*ck’s firepower; unlike most other vessels at the lower ranks which captains may have already become familiar with, Peac*ck is armed with just a single 76 mm OTO cannon in the bow of the ship. This making up its entire weapons arsenal means that captains will need to come up with different ways of taking on different opponents since charging every enemy in this vessel will certainly not always be a viable option. On the other hand, the familiar fast-firing 76 mm OTO cannon has already proven itself in War Thunder naval battles as a reliable and most effective weapon, both when used against surface targets as well as against aircraft.





The Peac*ck corvette is arriving at rank II of the British naval tree as part of the upcoming major update and will be available to research for all captains upon the update’s release. In the meantime, be sure to stay tuned to the news as we continue sharing what other exciting new things the “Raining Fire!” update for War Thunder has in store for you. Until then, calm seas captains!
