The Sd.Kfz.251/10 was a later variant of the well-known and widely used German WWII halftrack, equipped with a 3.7cm anti-tank cannon for increased firepower. Tankers will have the chance to add this special version of the Sd.Kfz.251 to their in-game arsenal by taking part in the upcoming crafting event “Strategist” in War Thunder!

The Sd.Kfz.251/10 will be one of the prizes awaiting tankers who take part in the upcoming crafting event “Strategist”, starting soon in War Thunder. This infantry support version of the widely used German halftrack will mostly be seen in lower rank battles, where its decent mobility and quick-firing 37 mm anti-tank cannon are sure to cause some damage to the enemy lines.



However, while the Sd.Kfz.251/10 is well-protected against small arms fire and sharpnel with up to 14.5 mm of armor plating, it still remains vulnerable against dedicated anti-tank cannons as well as artillery fire and aircraft due to its open fighting compartment. Circumventing these drawbacks by simply changing positions frequently however will be more than enough to turn a seemingly harmless APC into a deadly low rank tank destroyer with some nifty premium bonuses!



Be sure to add the Sd.Kfz.251/10 to your collection of German armored fighting vehicles in War Thunder by taking part in the upcoming crafting event “Strategist”. Stay tuned to find out more and good hunting tankers!

The new French Starter Pack includes a premium B1 ter tank and a P-40F-5 Lafayette fighter, which, along with an ample amount of Silver Lions and Premium Account days, will ensure confident victories and rapid development in the early ranks of War Thunder!

The BI is an experimental Soviet rocket-powered aircraft, designed during WWII and envisioned to become a short-range defensive interceptor. Pilots in War Thunder will have the chance to further harness the power of rocket-propelled flight by obtaining the BI as one of the top prizes for participating in the upcoming crafting event “Strategist”!



The BI is a high rank Soviet rocket-powered interceptor and one of the more exotic prizes for the upcoming crafting event “Strategist” in War Thunder. Giving Soviet pilots also the chance to experience rocket-propelled flight, the BI functions on the same principles as the Me 163 and Ki-200 already familiar to many pilots. The aircraft’s rocket propulsion allows it to get into the action fast, thanks to high acceleration, top speed and climb rate, but at the same time, prevents it from lingering in combat for too long due to its limited fuel supply of just 2 minutes on WEP mode. As a result, the BI requires clever fuel management to extend its combat endurance.



Further emphasizing the BI’s “hit-’n’-run” nature are its weapons. Namely, the BI is armed with a punchy pair of 20mm ShVAK cannons, although only carrying 45 rounds of ammunition each. This means that pilots will need to make the most out of the limited combat time they have available to ensure no bullet goes to waste!

Be sure to add this highly unusual and unique aircraft to your in-game collection by taking part in the upcoming War Thunder event. Good hunting pilots!
