There is nothing fake about this. All of it is based on source material.

We are introducing the vehicle in the finished state it was designed, planned and intended to be in based on all available source material. Not the incomplete state the prototypes found themselves in.

Many vehicles in War Thunder follow this exact situation and there is nothing new here. The tank as a whole is entirely as it should be with the additional frontal plate protection it was intended to receive to make it combat viable as many vehicles in game find themselves.

No. We are not going to start tweaking direct historical armour values for balance and this is not the same thing.

A prototype tank in real life that never saw combat was intended to have an additional frontal plate if it would have progressed and if it saw combat.

In game, that tank will see combat and in order for it to actually be useful, it requires that frontal plate that it was intended to have.

By the same logic, we should remove every shell never fired by a specific vehicle, but given for balance. Then a huge portion of tanks then suffer badly as a result.

The tank never saw any combat. Its a prototype. One that was intended to have an additional frontal protection plate, but never received because it did not see combat.

Because its going to see combat in game, it has that plate that it was intended to have.

The tank was faithfully replicated with historical source material and is as close to the real counterpart in terms of its model as we can make it. In terms of the armour plate, its simply the additional armour plate attached to the front of the frontal plate which was proposed and intended for the project, but never came about fully as the tank never went further.

In our game is has that chance to see combat and without that plate that the tank was planned to have, it would be fundamentally useless frontally as its entire frontal plate would be a instant pen zone as its just thin

Do not search for tanks per se. Search for movement and gun barrel smoke after they shot. That's the easiest way to spot enemy.

Look on minimap - enemy tanks often appear there for few seconds if they get hit by someone from your team.

One of the last mastodons from the heavy armour era, the experimental M6A2E1 tank is truly heavy and truly American!

M6A2E1, Heavy Tank, USA, IV rank. Premium.

History

In the midst of World War II at the American Baldwin Locomotive Works (BLW) began production of an experimental series of heavy tanks, which were supposed to form the image of the new American "heavies" both for the US Army service, and for lend-lease to the Allies. The initial design for all three versions was the M6 heavy tank, on the basis of which they tested new hull featur

AFAIK it's not possible. As you can see, in theory, it is locked

The document used for the bug report on the Challenger 2 turret rotation speed is still not approved for public use. It will not be considered and / or accepted anymore.

We had evidence that the document was in fact not declassified. As such, we cannot and will not accept any material that is sensitive or not entirely cleared for public use.

A premium piston fighter with a large-calibre cannon always comes in handy, especially in the French tech tree!

P-39Q-25, Fighter, France, III rank. Premium.

History

The American Bell P-39 fighters of the Q series became the latest and most numerous modification of the legendary Airacobra. Like the previous N series, these fighters were mainly used by Red Army pilots, but some fighters were operated by the US, France and Italy.

The Bell P-39Q-21 and -25 models hosted the first experiments with a large 11.7” four-bladed propell
