USMC veteran and active War Thunder player Conte_Baracca shares his recollections about active service in the M1A1 Abrams, and how this tank feels in our game.

I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserve my senior year. Upon graduating high school I went to “boot camp” at Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego and would serve in the Reserves until I was commissioned an officer. After completing Marine Corps Recruit Tra... Read more
