War Thunder: tank mode. How to quickly upgrade the USA branch? Soviet branch of tanks in war thunder

In this article, we'll take a look at the American aircraft and tank development branch in War Thunder.

American aircraft

The American branch is so "harsh" that they do not have biplanes as intermediate aviation development. Although biplanes have already been met in our reviews about, and aircraft.

Even the Peashooter, reserve aircraft of the 1st rank, are monoplanes among the Americans, with weapons that were incredible for the technology of that time. We will not soon see heavy machine guns in other nations, and in America 12.7 mm Browning machine guns are already on reserve aircraft. Hitting the enemy even with one bullet of this caliber can be fatal.

An important detail: reserve aircraft do not need to be repaired, or rather, they need to, but their repair is free. If there is not enough money to repair a crashed plane, reserve equipment will always help out, in our case, "Writers" in the American branch.

The main feature of the Americans is machine gun armament. We will see the first 20 mm cannon only in the P-400, the “great-grandfather” of the Cobra fighters, which themselves will be armed with 37 mm cannons. At the same time, in the development branch of American fighters, the Cobra will for a long time remain the only aircraft with large-caliber weapons, with the exception of the P-38G Lightning, equipped with a 20 mm cannon.

"Cobras" of all models, up to the R-63, perfectly cope with their main task - the destruction heavy bombers. In almost 100%, one hit of a 37 mm projectile is enough to send an enemy vehicle to the hangar. The same applies to fights against fighters.

All other American aircraft, except for Cobras and Lightnings, will be armed with machine guns. And only the top jet F-86F-2 Saber will delight players with four 20 mm cannons. America's jet aviation is represented by a wide range of models, both in the army and in the deck version. There is plenty to choose from. There is both speed and power, and carrier-based aviation even has maneuver.

The Browning machine guns that armed the American branch of aircraft were incredibly powerful weapon, and their number (up to 8 machine guns on the plane) allows you to carry such a dense fire that cannon armament sometimes "nervously smokes on the sidelines." For example: the weight of a second salvo of the F4U-1a machine-gun corsair is more than 3 kg, and the salvo of some Japanese fighters, analogues of the F4U, barely reached 2.5 kg.

The Americans did not hesitate to equip their Korean War Sabers with machine guns, which opposed the Soviet MiGs, armed with 23 mm, 37 mm guns.

Almost all attack aircraft and bombers of America were armed with the same machine guns. On the flying "fortresses" of the B-17, they were installed up to 13 trunks, some of them were paired, which ensured that this bomber had a complete absence of areas uncovered by machine gun fire. Indeed, a “fortress” is flying, protected from all sides.

But it's not worth flying on bombers of the fourth line (B-17, B-25, etc.) in arcade and realistic modes - you will be shot down very quickly. Mouse control and arcade sights negate all the advantages of the "fortresses": they will be able to open fire on you from 700 meters, from a kilometer. And in the simulator mode, you can fly, where you will feel quite comfortable.

America is the only nation that can successfully use boom-zoom tactics on machine gun-armed aircraft. Of course, other nations also have planes with machine guns, which at the same time own the “falcon strike”.

The carrier-based aviation branch will receive cannon weapons much earlier, starting with the legendary F4U-1c Corsair, vehicles were armed with 4 AN / M2 or M3 cannons, which tear everyone who gets in their way. But they have a minus: they have a tendency to overheat and jam. Don't Shoot Unnecessarily long lines- You run the risk of being left without a weapon.

In general, American aircraft are distinguished by good speed, armament, they are durable, and carrier-based aircraft also maneuver well.

American tanks

In the first era, the championship is occupied by medium tank M3 Lee with its two guns. Its 50 mm in the forehead under a slight slope practically does not break through at its level.

In the second era, the time comes for the M4A3 (105) Sherman with a 105 mm howitzer, from which even the German Tigers receive serious damage, not to mention less armored vehicles. The nimble M22 Locust is also located here - light tank, which manages to be the first everywhere, even in the hangar.

In the third era, we will be pleased with the M4A3E2 Jumbo heavy tank, which is so armored that it manages to stay intact where it is basically impossible. 177 mm - the thickness of the tower at its level, and the hull at a rational angle of inclination - do their job.

And the light M24 Chaffee, in addition to speed, has an excellent weapon that punishes its less mobile opponents. However, the Chaffee itself is so cardboard that it can be knocked out by machine gun fire.

At the same rank is the M4A1 (76) "Sherman" with a 76 mm gun, which is capable of punishing even hard armored vehicles enemy.

On the 4th era, 2 tanks are completely standing: the M41 Walker Bulldog, which continues the traditions of the Chaffee, and the heavy T32 with a reinforced concrete, impenetrable tower. However, the medium M26 Pershing, located right there and armed with chamber ammunition, is no less a dangerous opponent for any vehicle. If the armor is broken and the Pershing projectile ends up in the enemy's hull, no one will be left alive there.

On the 5th era, we are waiting for the "great" heavy tank M103 with its frenzied armor-piercing - 250 mm of ordinary stock ammunition, and its ricochet turret; as well as medium tanks M46-M47 Patton with good maneuverability, good armor-piercing, both sub-caliber and HEAT rounds but very weak armor. Only very skilled players will be able to play these tanks.

This was the general impression American branch vehicles in War Thunder, don't forget to take a look at the vehicles of other nations.

) are the most in demand and should be pumped first, and which ones can be postponed for later? Which nations bend down at what ranks? In this guide, you will find out the answers to all these questions.

Rules for upgrading vehicles in War Thunder

When upgrading vehicles in War Thunder, the following rules apply:

• To open a vehicle of the next rank, you need to research and buy back 6 vehicles of the previous rank.
• To research any tank, it is not necessary to accumulate research points on the previous tank. It is possible to accumulate Research Points (RP) on any tank of the same nation, however, the efficiency of RP accumulation is not always the same.
• To start researching a tank, you must first research and buy the previous tank.

What classes of equipment to download?

The game War Thunder has its own characteristics, and not all classes ground equipment in the game are equally useful.

The most useful class of ground vehicles are medium tanks(in the early stages of the game, light tanks take their place). This is a universal class of equipment that has some kind of armor, good guns and running characteristics sufficient to perform basic combat missions, such as capturing points and knocking down a capture. It is a competent game on a medium tank that allows you to win battles. Do you want to actively influence the results of the battle? Download medium tanks.

Due to not always adequate running characteristics heavy tanks are never as useful as averages. It is recommended to add no more than one heavy tank to the tank set and take it first. By the time you get to the combat zone, your allies will just arrive there. If you take a heavy tank second, the battle may well end without your active participation.

Light tanks minimally useful mainly in the RB game mode, where you can take an unexpected position and throw enemy tanks into the sides and stern. In AB mode with constantly burning markers, light tanks are not particularly relevant.

Utility tower self-propelled guns highly dependent on them performance characteristics. Depending on their performance characteristics, they can be played as medium, heavy or light tanks, with all the ensuing consequences in terms of their usefulness.

Turretless self-propelled guns in AB mode, they are practically useless due to constantly burning markers. By the time you get into an advantageous position, half a team will be thrown on your self-propelled guns. The exceptions are some vehicles with imbalanced armor, for example, German mid-tier and high-tier self-propelled guns.

Anti-aircraft self-propelled units (ZSU) are useful only in RB mode. First of all, because you need only 150 respawn points to go to the ZSU. So, if you decide to "play realism", ZSU is recommended to at least explore. In AB mode, there is no special meaning in ZSU. As a rule, in AB mode, the team that takes points more actively wins, and not the one that shoots down more planes.

Soviet tanks are quite interesting, but in general, not without flaws. The main disadvantage of advice is the lack of comfortable playing conditions for the player. Disgusting in most tanks, on some tanks it is only 3 degrees. Many guns have a long reload time. In general, unimportant ballistics, which makes it difficult to aim in RB and SB modes. A small crew on high-tier vehicles negatively affects the survivability of tanks in War Thunder.

In the pros of the Soviets - extremely powerful chamber shells. A successful hit breaks modules well and turns the crew of an enemy tank into mincemeat. In addition, only by playing as the USSR you can make a full-fledged set of vehicles at the maximum combat rating. If your goal is to bend over on the tops, the USSR simply has no competitors. Although in the distant future this injustice will certainly be corrected.

Soviet tanks that you should definitely upgrade: BT-5 and BT-7, T-34-76, T-34-85 (D-5T), T-34-85, T-54, KV-1 ZiS-5, KV-2, IS-2, IS-4M, T-10M.

German ground equipment

German tanks, on the contrary, are very comfortable. When the cannon descends well, and penetration by armor-piercing chamber shells exceeds all conceivable and unimaginable limits, it is really very convenient to play. Well, to make it even easier to play as the Germans, almost all tanks have sub-caliber shells with completely unrealistic armor penetration. So if you are tired of the Soviets and the Americans with their eternal “non-piercing” and ricochets, the German ground team is your choice!

Another thing is that the armor action of chamber shells is not as pleasing as that of the Soviets and the Americans. And at high levels, the Germans simply lack good top-end tanks. Whether to research and roll out German tanks above BR=6.7 is a difficult philosophical question.

German tanks that you should definitely upgrade: Pz. II C and F, Pz. III J1, L and M , Pz. IV F2, G and H , Tiger H1 and E , Tiger II (H) , Panther II , Leopard 1 , Jagdpanzer 38(t), Jagdpanzer IV, Panzer IV/70(V).

American ground vehicles

Low-level American tanks are mostly devoid of chamber shells, and therefore the sooner you get to the Shermans, the better. True, not everything is going smoothly there either, a feature of the Shermans is a very low reverse speed, which negatively affects the comfort of the game. By the way, it is low for absolutely all Shermans, that is, up to rank 4 inclusive.

In general, American medium and conditionally heavy tanks up to rank 4 are of little interest, but at ranks 4-5, the extravaganza of bending begins. Unlike the Soviets, which have a terrible shortage of armor penetration, the Americans are not particularly offended, and where they need to put shells with high penetration. Even where they were not in sight. Suffice it to recall how a heavy American T32 tank was unexpectedly “found” first with a sub-caliber, and then with a chamber shell.

Is it worth downloading American tanks? Some definitely. Ideally, you should buy a premium M26E1 or M26-T99 and pump tanks up to rank 4.

American tanks that are definitely worth pumping: M4A3 (105) , M24 Chaffee, T25 , M26 Pershing , M46 Patton , M60 , M4A3E2 (76) W Jumbo, T32, M18 Hellcat, M36 Slugger .

British ground vehicles

Trying to give British technology some general characteristics, first of all, it should be noted that the British did not have chamber shells. The lack of explosives in the chamber is compensated by high armor penetration and rate of fire. In general, British tanks are designed to destroy enemy crews.

The second thing to note is the unique purely British system classification of tanks until the end of World War II. The British divided the tanks into infantry and cruising, and the first were incredibly slow and well-armored, and the second, on the contrary, very, very fast. All this makes the British tanks, to put it mildly, "unusual". The developers of War Thunder divided them into standard classes for uniformity: light, medium and heavy tanks.

Already at the third rank, guns with really outstanding ballistics appear, including due to the appearance on some vehicles

Tanks in War Thunder are becoming more and more popular. In the presented material, you can see both the current branches of the development of tanks, and the options for the development of ground vehicles that were offered by the game developers.

Today, Soviet and German vehicles are available in War Thunder.

After the release of update 1.47, the USSR vehicle development tree will look like this (click on the image to enlarge):

US tank tech tree in War Thunder

American tanks have appeared in War Thunder not so long ago, and the tree of development of US tanks will most likely be overgrown with new vehicles in the future. On the this moment the US tank development branch looks like this: (click on the image to enlarge):

Top American tanks in War Thunder became M-103 and M-47.

Development branches presented on Igromir

For the first time exemplary tank development branches were demonstrated during the overview broadcast, where the tanks of the USSR and Germany, which will be available in War Thunder, were presented, as well as information about future battles on tanks.

An early version was demonstrated on Igromir tank battles war thunder, in comparison with it, the graphics and physics will be improved in the release version, the demonstrated damage model is close to the final one, and the settings of artillery, which is designed to improve the dynamics of the battle, will also be changed. A special map was made for the game world.

Currently, the game has two technological tank branches of two countries - the USSR and Germany. In the future, it is planned to add the US, Japan and the UK. Consider so far already present in the game.

There are five types of tank vehicles in the game:

1. Lightweight - for reconnaissance and artillery support.
2. Medium - for breaking through the enemy's flanks and destroying light ground vehicles.
3. Heavy - used to protect the main forces.
4. Anti-tank self-propelled artillery mounts - for cover and protection against enemy attacks.
5. Anti-aircraft installations - to counter aviation and destroy air targets.

Below are screenshots of the Soviet branch of development. Click the mouse to enlarge the pictures.

The branches, in turn, are divided as they progress into ranks, of which there are only five. Consider the ground vehicles of the Soviets by rank in the game War Thunder:

1. The entry level includes the BT-7, T-26, T-28, T-60, T-70 and ZIS-30 tanks. It is not necessary to open all branches, first you can upgrade the technique that you think is more necessary at this stage of the game.
2. The second rank already allows you to determine the further specifics of the technique and your preferences for the type of game, and includes good intermediate samples, such as E-80, T-34 1941L11, T-34 1941, T-34 1942, KV-1, KV-1 ZIS-5 and SU-76M.
3. The third rank can already be called "playable" for solid farming and further development of your tanks (one KV-2 is worth something). T-34-57, T-34-85, KV-2 1939, IS-1, SU-85, SU-85M.
4. In the fourth, the specifics and the best representatives, in our opinion, tank destroyers are already visible. SU-100, T-44, T-34-85, IS-2, ISU-122 and ISU-122S.
5. Well, the top of the military technological branch of the USSR is a reward for passing the previous ranks, the best representatives of that time - IS-3, ISU-152, IS-4M and T-54-1951.

The German development branch in the game War Thunder is almost the same in complexity as the Soviet one for passing and unlocking new vehicles.

By rank, German ground vehicles in the War Thunder game are distributed as follows:

1. The first initial rank includes - PzKpfw 38(t) Ausf.A, PzKpfw II Ausf.C, PzKpfw II Ausf.F, PzKpfw III Ausf.E, PzKpfw III Ausf.F, PzKpfw IV Ausf.C, StuG III Ausf. A.
2. In the second rank, it is already worth deciding on the priority of the development of the branch and the type of equipment. PzKpfw III Ausf.L, PzKpfw III Ausf.M, PzKpfw IV Ausf.F, PzKpfw IV Ausf.F2 and StuG III Ausf.F.
3. The third rank is intermediate and interesting in it can be identified tank destroyers. Jagdpanzer IV, PzKpfw V Ausf.D, PzKpfw IV Ausf.H , PzKpfw IV Ausf.G and PzKpfw VI Ausf.H1.
4. Those who have reached the fourth rank become the owners good cars with excellent "lethal" and dynamic characteristics. Includes Ferdinand, Jagdpanther, PzKpfw V Ausf.G, PzKpfw V Ausf.A and PzKpfw VI Ausf.B.
5. Well, the top of the German tank branch is one of the best representatives - Panther II, PzKpfw V Ausf.F and PzKpfw VI Ausf.B mit KwK46. The Maus line is not yet considered in the game.

For which country to start passing the branch of ground vehicles? The balance of the game does not allow to give exact recommendations on the choice of a nation, and each player probably has his own preferences in technology, but still we dare to advise you to pump both branches in parallel to at least the third rank, someone will surely like the clumsy power of advice, and maybe vice versa - more tactically flexible, but weak in terms of fire, German equipment on initial stage branch development. But the Soviet branch is still considered the easiest at the beginning of the game.

Types of ground vehicle battles in War Thunder.

The game provides three types of battles for tanks in War Thunder:

1. Arcade.
2. Realistic.
3. Simulator.

To begin with, we advise you to choose the arcade battles option, since they have the ability to see the place where the projectile fired by your tank hit, which in turn makes it possible to "get your hand" in well-aimed defeat of the weakest enemy tank modules. If at the beginning of the battle your tank is hit, then in the arcade version it is possible to continue the battle for the selected country by transferring to another tank from the hangar. A good mode for earning silver, although experience points are given less than in other modes.

More complex and "expensive" in terms of set combat experience combat type in War Thunder - realistic. Here you need to use all your gaming skills and the skills of your crew. It is not possible to change the vehicle selected before the battle and restart after the destruction of your tank. Management is complex, without markers and distance indicators to the target. For the destroyed equipment of the enemy, increased experience is given, however, a lot of money is taken to repair your own. As a rule, they participate in Battles already at more “mature” ranks and top tanks. Battles have a historical basis and involve the battle of one nation against another.

The crew of a tank in War Thunder. Leveling up combat skills.

The crew of ground vehicles in the game always consists of five people: tank commander, gunner, driver, gunner-radio operator and loader. Everyone here has their own combat characteristics increasing the overall combat damage from your vehicle. Let's take a closer look at the specialties of each.

Tank commander. There are five skills to learn - Vitality, Leadership, Machine Gun Shooting, Vigilance and Field Repair. Priority in the study, you can choose leadership, which improves the characteristics of the crew as a whole.

Gunner. The five combat stats for the gunner are survivability, vigilance, field repairs, ranging, and guidance. Here, the recommendations depend on your preferences for the battle mode in the game - if you mainly play or plan to participate in arcade battles on this machine, then you should upgrade the range determination, since it is most important in this mode. And if you are a supporter of realistic or simulation battles, then you should pay attention to guidance.

Driver mechanic. There are four combat skills: driving, survivability, vigilance and field repair. The unconditional first characteristic here is to pump driving, which increases the maneuverability of the combat vehicle and braking speed.

Charging. There are also four combat characteristics: vigilance, survivability, field repairs and gun loading. Here, of course, we first download the loading of the gun, which will increase the rate of fire of our gun.

Shooter-radio operator. It is possible to pump as many as six perks: survivability, vigilance, field repair, radio communications, firing from the course machine gun and reloading the course machine gun. First of all, we download the profile skill-radio communication.

It is noticeable that in addition to the main characteristics of the military specialty, there are also general ones that improve the skills of the crew - this is survivability and field repairs.

In addition to pumping the combat skills of the crew in the War Thunder game, there is an additional feature for a general increase in performance - this is qualification.

It should be remembered that in order to acquire qualifications, the crew must be pumped to a 100% level.

Tank modules and upgrades in War Thunder.

Modules and optional equipment tanks in the game are divided into three types:

1. Mobility.
2. Firepower.
3. Security and disguise.

The mobility section includes all the patency and speed of the vehicle. Includes the ability to pump tracks to improve traction and the ability to overcome various obstacles on maps. The suspension and braking system improve the handling and overall dynamics of the tank in the game War Thunder. The transmission is responsible for the gearbox and control rods, which has a positive effect on control.

The firepower modules are responsible for weapon-related upgrades to the tank, the turret drive adjusts and lubricates the turret traverse mechanism itself and slightly increases the speed and smoothness of rotation. Artillery support allows you to call artillery fire on a specified point, but remember that only light and medium tanks have this option.

Security and camouflage allows you to install modules that improve the additional protection of the vehicle with the help of applied armor and reduce visibility for enemy tanks and aircraft. We hope our guide to tanks and crew skills in the War Thunder game will help you upgrade your combat vehicles and defeat more opponents in the vastness of the game.

German tank development tree(the German branch of the development of the ground includes a line of light, medium, heavy panzers, closed and open self-propelled guns and SPAAGs). As an exception, there are two "paper" tanks that were never built in iron: Panther II and Tiger II (105 mm).
The game on the Germans is very comfortable, there are many excellent cars. The best BR for the tank arcade are 2.0, 3.7, 4.3 (groove-4), 6.7, 8.0. The top Leopard 2A4 is also good.

USA Ground Development Tree(America's tank development branch consists of the LT, ST, PT, TT, ZU lines).
Americans are not recommended for pumping. Armored vehicles are not bad, but combat ratings are too high, because of which the game turns into suffering. Relatively good BR 4.7 (M6A1 + M18) and 6.7 (T29 + T34). Bends only Abrams in the top.

As expected, mostly Stuarts and Shermans, a branch of turret PTs: M8, M18 Black cat, M10 Wolverine, M36 Slugger, and PTs based on half-track armored personnel carriers, starting with the Diamond T (Autocar) M3 75 mm GMC. Top heavyweights will be Super heavy tank T28 and Gun Motor Carriage T95.

It is interesting to trace the transformation of American STs from M2 through M3 to M4 Sherman. The only 37mm cannon turned out to be not even funny for the average peasant, so the excess machine guns were changed to a 75mm cannon in a sponson. This decision was also unsuccessful, and the 75mm gun moved to a new turret, replacing the unnecessary 37mm. As a result, we got a decent middle peasant - Sherman. Then in the ST branch are Pershings (including M26E1 and T26E4 Super Pershing), Pattons and M60.
Rank 6 - Main Battle Tank MBT-70 and Abrams.

At the same time, the design of the LT immediately turned out to be successful, and the Stuart M5 differs from the M3 and M2, mainly in increased armor. The LT branch is crowned with M41 Walker Bulldog, T92 and Gun Launcher AR/AAV M551 Sheridan.

There are reactive systems salvo fire T34 Sherman Calliope and M26 T99.
Anti-aircraft guns: M13, M16, M15, M19, M42 Duster, M163 Vulcan; amphibian LVT(A)-1.
M50 Ontos.

UK ground development branch
The British are not recommended for leveling, since most tanks only have solid AP shells (with low armor effect). The only good arcade setup is on BR 3.0, but it often balances with the 3.7 popular with the Soviets and the Germans.

Japanese ground development branch(Japanese land tree)
The disadvantage of the low-level Japanese is the slow turret rotation, and the top tanks do not have good armor. In addition, due to the small amount of equipment, it is difficult to assemble a full-fledged setup for an arcade game. So far there is good set BR 2.0 only: Ho-I + Chi-Ha Kai + Ta-Se.

China's upgrade branches are mainly foreign models of armored vehicles (Soviet, British and American deliveries, Japanese trophies, Soviet tank clones). The Chinese ground tree is only available on Chinese servers that have no connection to the rest of the world. Also there is an aviation tree. Although you can register and play there, but a big ping interferes ( for a long time response) and incomprehensible hieroglyphs. Fights with players of RU (Russia), EU (Europe), US (USA) clusters are not possible.

How many tanks are in Warthunder. Branches of development of armored vehicles WT 2018-2019 with BR (all ranks of all countries with an indication of the combat rating)
In the future, more new tanks, self-propelled guns and armored vehicles will be added to the "Tundra", including independent research trees for other ground nations. The best armored vehicles.

That's right, "Thief Thunder", not "War Thunder" (Worthander and not Warthander warsander) ;-)
