The Shooting Range In this episode, Pages of History, Civilian Combat Aircraft.

Tactical Briefing, The Sons of Attila.

And Metal Beasts, IFV with APS.

We continue our introduction tour with the new vehicles of this fall.

And this time we are happy to welcome a machine our players have long been waiting for.

This is one of the most advanced IFVs in the game and the current top of the Hungarian ground branch, the KF Forty One Lynx.

Its main caliber is a two plane stabilized thirty millimeter autocannon with elevation angles between minus ten and plus forty five degrees.

It's enhanced with two machine guns and a missile launcher equipped with Spike ATGMs.

The driver sits in the front next to the engine and transmission compartment, and two more crew members are in the turret.

The vehicle also has twenty smoke launchers and an active protection system.

If you know the German Puma IFV, you'll be familiar with the Lynx's main caliber as well.

This gun's finned rounds can boast a high penetration rate for this class, being capable of damaging enemy sides, and even some vulnerabilities in the front.

Depression angles?

Good.

Aiming speed?

Great.

Ammo pool?

All good.

One thing that leaves much to be desired, though, is the rate of fire.

Even if you perform a successful flanking attack, you might need to keep some MBTs in your sights for longer than you'd want.

Besides the autocannon, though, this Hungarian IFV has anti tank missiles.

And it's not just some missiles.

These are the trendy Spikes with fire and forget capability.

You can't use them in close combat, but at long range, they're amazing.

By the way, these HEGMs are also effective against enemy aircraft.

They're unlikely to hit planes, since their flight performance isn't good enough for that, but they're very dangerous for helicopters.

Just keep this in mind.

With their long range, these missiles have a slow speed, so it might take a while to hit the target.

The main highlight of the Lynx is the active protection system.

Threat detectors and countermeasure shells are spread all over the hull.

The top Hungarian IFV is a unique machine.

It has pretty much every system available in the game.

If you like dynamic gameplay, this vehicle will bring you many enjoyable victories.

The XA thirty eight Grizzly is just a regular plane, one of dozens of similar aircraft in the early nineteen forties.

It has nothing special about it except for the strong eighteen cylinder engines and remotely controlled turrets.

Oh, and there's this unique seventy five millimeter cannon in the nose, right.

Well, it's not that unique, really.

All warring nations created planes with similar weaponry during World War II.

From the German Henschel one twenty nine to the Italians, who managed to slap a one hundred and two millimeter gun onto their P one oh eights.

The flying anti tank cannon idea was in the air even before the war began.

So the aircraft is nothing special.

What's special is the company that designed and built the Grizzly prototypes.

Beechcraft.

Who are they?

Well, here's the story.

Much like Ford, GM, and Chrysler are often referred to as the big three who put America on wheels, Cessna, Piper, and Beechcraft are the ones who put America on wings.

They're even sometimes called the small big three.

meaning that their main goal was to build small, simple, and reliable aircraft any person could buy for private use and pilot alone.

While the giants of American aviation were busy fighting for military contracts and competing in making the most advanced combat aircraft, the small Big Three ignored the field altogether.

Even when the world delved into the Second World War, they kept pursuing their idea of giving each household a plane.

Government contracts were just a burden for them.

Building parts and components for combat aircraft?

Eh, we'll pass.

So why did Beechcraft create the Grizzly?

Well, the answer is... no one really knows.

Of course, we know that Beechcraft was contracted by the USAF to build a two engined tank destroyer slash bomber, but no one can really explain why Beechcraft was the company of choice.

The USAF might have been trying to make Douglas more agreeable, especially Edward Heinemann, the head engineer of the A XVI.

The latter loved to tell the military how they were wrong, what they really needed instead, and why they didn't get it.

He also wanted to lighten the heavy, manually loaded, seventy five millimeter cannon.

Besides, the Beechcraft contract could motivate North American, who managed to add a heavy gun to their B twenty five, but claimed the aircraft wouldn't fly without stronger engines.

There's another theory as well.

The military loved the famous twin engined Beechcraft Model XVIII so much they wanted the same plane but bigger, with armor, heavy guns, and bombs.

And of course there's always the factor of other design bureaus being piled with work.

All these versions, however, can be easily dispelled by one counter argument or another.

What we truly know is this.

After two prototypes, the project was closed.

The engines and the remotely controlled turrets were needed for the B XXIX.

When the project was retired, the engineers at Beechcraft didn't try to hide how happy they were to be finally left alone.

The USAF pilots felt different, though.

They claimed that it was a great machine, and the European frontlines needed it to help the army with German tanks and heavily fortified defensive positions of the Wehrmacht.

The Navy would also like a faster flying cannon than the old PBJ based on the B XXV.

It's been almost eighty years since, but enthusiasts still argue about the grizzly.

Alas, there are no witnesses or documents left, and the current Beechcraft engineers just shrug, our job is to make family planes.

Bombers?

Who needs bombers?

Go ask someone else to build them.

You got tons of options anyways.

The Sons of Attila update has introduced a whole lot of small but exciting things to the game.

With all the new vehicles and locations, they can be easy to miss.

So let's talk about them now.

Graphics would be our first stop.

We've been working hard on enhancing realism and immersion, and this time we've reworked the trees.

Trunks and branches now move and bend depending on wind speed.

It looks extra impressive in stormy weather.

Speaking of which, we've added new weathers to the game.

mist, low cloud cover, and thunderclouds, and also improved existing presets.

Brightness and contrast now change automatically depending on the time of day, so playing during dawn or sunset has become more comfortable.

The main new visual for ground vehicles is the barrel heating.

A long volley can make a barrel turn red hot and start smoking.

There's also new effects for propellant gases exiting the gun barrels.

You can now see how a bore evacuator works.

It's that bulge on the barrels you've been asking about so often in the comments.

Penetrating a fuel tank can now lead to a flaming puddle or two.

If the tank can still move, they can leave an impressive fiery trail.

All external ammo on vehicles like smoke grenades on tanks or bombs on aircraft hardpoints are now destructible.

Depending on the impact, they may be lost, ignited, or exploded.

A damaged smoke grenade can cover a tank in their own aerosol veil, while hitting an enemy bomb before it's dropped can lead to much more grievous consequences.

War Thunder pilots might like the new warning systems, Betty and Rita.

They'll tell you about critical G loads and angles of attack, Low fuel remaining, Airbrakes deployed, Missiles ready for launch, and many other things.

You can adjust the volume of this system in the settings, or turn it off for third person view and leave it just for the cockpit.

New custom loadouts are here as well.

Besides the freshly added vehicles, Forty four existing aircraft got the new mechanic enabled as well, most of them being World War II prop planes.

Some planes and helicopters also received new ordnance.

The A IID, for instance, got a four thousand pound bomb.

Many American jets got the Mark Eighty Four air parachute bomb, the Su Twenty Five T and the Su Thirty Nine got the R Seventy Three missiles, and the Yak One Forty One got the R Twenty Seven E T missile.

Our artists have created ejection animations for all Harriers and F Fives, making the bailout a more enjoyable moment.

And lastly, there's the new mechanics we'd like to tell you about.

Many of you must be familiar with a situation where you and your enemy fire at the same time but your round isn't seen by the server and looks like it goes through the enemy with no damage.

Well, this is now a thing of the past!

If the time gap between firing and receiving critical damage is small, the server will now consider that the attacked player pulled the trigger anyways.

In Arcade Ground mode, your request to start an air battle using escort fighters or helicopters alone will be denied if no enemy joins the air battle.

You won't lose any spawn points if this happens.

And finally, here's the most wholesome in game mechanic.

You can now accept apologies from your allies if they shoot down your vehicle by accident and ask forgiveness on the radio.

If you accept the apology, your allies will see your mercy in the chat, and the accidental offender won't be kicked out of the battle for teamkilling.

We'll dedicate separate sections to some of the largest changes later.

Meanwhile, it's time for us to answer some of your questions from the comments!

The first question was sent by a player called IgotPotatoAim.

Why is the ............................................................................................................................................................................................................

Another question comes from Sabrina Dobe.

Do you have any tips for playing the M I A I AIM and the A X in Ground RB?

Hi Sabrina!

The Abrams is a very balanced machine that's good for active gameplay in the first line.

The A X depends on the battle rating it's used in.

It might not feel great in the same lineup with the M I A I AIM due to its modest flight performance.

On its own BR though, the Thunderbolt II can be pretty amazing thanks to its guided air to surface missiles.

A Lonely Corsair writes, is the AIM SEVEN E II better than the AIM SEVEN F or the other way around?

Hello Lonely Corsair, we're always here for you.

And we can give you a straightforward answer here.

The AIM SEVEN F is better than its predecessors in just about everything.

And we have two questions about top jets here.

Lost Affinity is asking what plane has the best acceleration.

While Cat and Frostbite wants to know which plane is the fastest at the moment.

Hey there, guys!

To compare acceleration, we first need to define the speed range we want to test these planes in.

Let's pick the zero to Mach one range.

In this case, the best acceleration is found on the Yak one forty one.

It can reach Mach one in around twenty nine seconds.

The fastest planes in the game are still the early modifications of the MiG twenty nine.

They can exceed fifteen hundred kilometers an hour near the ground.

And that's it for today.
