A-7D Corsair II: Bulk Delivery



The A-7D is the USAF version of the A-7 Corsair II naval strike aircraft, developed in the mid 1960s by Ling-Temco-Vought as a replacement for the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk. Soon, pilots will have the chance to take control of the successor to the popular Skyhawk as it arrives in War Thunder with the release of the next major update!

In War Thunder, the A-7D Corsair II will be a new jet attacker joining the top rank of the American aviation tree with the release of the next major update, coming to the game in the near future. Building upon the base principles of the A-4 Skyhawk which precedes it, the A-7D Corsair II features improved flight characteristics, but above all, notably improves the aircraft’s firepower through an increased payload.





The A-7D Corsair II will soon become available to all pilots as the new top ranking jet attacker in the American aviation tree, following the release of the next major update coming to War Thunder. In the meantime, be sure to stay tuned to the news to avoid missing out on any of the latest developments surrounding the upcoming update. Until then, clear skies pilots!
