First up is this anime skin created by YouseiYukikaze for the Phantom FGR.2. They’ve created the skin themselves and then made this fantastic looking model with the same skin. We’re a fan of this one!

A Leopard 2A4 drawing by C0orav! They said that they drew this one in their architecture class at university but recommend you to not do the same!

What happens when the smallest tank in the game takes out the biggest tank in the game? You get a funny screenshot. These tiny L3/33 CC boys have done a good job here. Overgrown Maus destroyed!

The Leopard 2A6 is one of the most popular top-tier MBTs in War Thunder. This model looks almost exactly like the tank we’ve got in the game. Great contrast!

Ever had that moment when you’re about to take a shot on an enemy and then your cat jumps onto your desk for a nap? That’s what happened here, this cute cat has made a wild appearance!

This one’s funky, an Ostwind II drawn on a whiteboard using marker pens. A formidable sight to behold. Nice work!

The Spitfire Mk.22 is a beast of an aircraft, and so is this drawing of it. The shadows, details and setting really spike up our imagination. Nice work!

By The past is like smoke

An awesome coloring of the AMX-30B2, which is LawrenceXVIII’s favorite tank. We love the details and colors used, especially the dirt on the front.

At the beginning of 1984, South Africa began development of a new attack helicopter to participate in the South African Border War. However, the Rooivalk prototype took to the skies for the first time on February 11th 1990 after the conflict ended. Improvements to the Rooivalk still continue, and a small number that were produced continue to serve to this day.


Available for 8,560 Golden Eagles!

[h3]

When: From February 9th (15:00 GMT).
Where: Great Britain > Helicopters > Premium vehicles.

[/h3]

[h3]About this helicopter[/h3]

• The Rooivalk is a survivable helicopter with good performance characteristics. It carries the formidable Mokopa air-to-ground missile that has a tandem warhead and the FZ49 HEAT rockets which can be fired accurately thanks to a ballistic computer. In addition to this, this helicopter can fire the Mistral air-to-air missile with an all-aspect IR seeker, which can lock targets at a distance of 6 km. In close air engagements or to fire at ground targets, a reliable 20 mm cannon can also be used!
  

Not all fighting in World War II took place at the front lines. Allied aircraft carried out risky missions over German territory in order to destroy factories that were producing enemy armored vehicles.

Much has been dedicated to the heroism of bomber pilots and the fighters covering them — and we want to honor them in our aircraft event too.
