[Development] Bréguet 693A-B2: French Flavoured Ground Attack

The Bréguet 693 is a French twin-engine ground attack aircraft which first entered service with the Armée de l'air just prior to the outbreak of WWII. Coming to War Thunder as part of the upcoming update 1.93, the Bréguet 693 will allow French pilots to take control of a new low rank, but highly potent ground attacker!

In War Thunder, the Bréguet 693A-B2 will be a new low ranking ground attacker coming to rank II of the French aviation tree and being made available to all pilots, following its introduction as part of the upcoming update 1.93. Similar to the Potez 630 series of aircraft, already familiar to many pilots, the Bréguet 693 offers players a highly maneuverable, fast and well armed twin-engine machine which, thanks to its versatility, can comfortably be used both in both ground attack and heavy fighter roles.





Powered by two Gnome-Rhône 14M radial engines, the Bréguet 693 is able to reach a maximum speed of 480 km/h at 5,000 m, while at lower altitudes, its top speed falls to 360 km/h. Although this may not sound all too impressive at first, when coupled with its comparatively decent agility, pilots are able to quickly shift targets in the heat of combat which may come as a big surprise to some fighter pilots that get caught off guard.
