2025年2月22日 · poll Lockheed XP-49 Hello everybody. Today, I’d like to suggest the Lockheed XP-49 for US Aviation in War Thunder. Developed as an advanced variant of the P-38 Lightning, the XP-49 was designed by Lockheed for the US Army Air Corps and was originally intended to be powered by Pratt & Whitney X-1800 engines. However, due to development setbacks, these were replaced with Continental XI-1430-1 ...

2024年10月20日 · XP-55 should go to 4.7 too (for whatever reason it’s super good at 4.3) - I’m a proud owner. Once all of that is fixed, Ki-44-II can go to 4.3. Remember, G.55 S0 is 4.3 It’s marginally faster, climbs a lot worse, it’s a bit better armed, but bigger and turns worse, has worse flaps too. But I find it quite ok.

2025年2月5日 · I’ve been using the XP-50 to grind and I really enjoy the plane’s playstyle and I plan to use it to finish researching all of rank iv. my question is what is the best plane in rank iv to break into the rank v jets.

2024年9月5日 · Trying to outclimb an XP-50 might work if you do this outside the spotting range but have in mind that the Ki-44 is quite slow and loses a lot of engine power above 6-7 kilometers alt. Last but not least - a slow or medium speed turnfight in a Ki-44 at higher altitudes is a recipe for disaster - the XP-50 turns much better than a Ki-44.

2025年1月3日 · Changes in the Arcade Tank Mode. What’s the point of aviation in this mode? A strike helicopter requires 2 points, while an ATGM helicopter needs 3 points, but the strike helicopter is far more effective since it actually has time to do something! I believe helicopters that cost 3 points should spawn at a distance of 5-6 km and have 5-10 seconds of invulnerability. Additionally, there should ...
