We recently added some unique vehicles to the game which players can receive for active participation in random battles (in addition to being available for purchase with Golden Eagles).
The new modification of the legendary ‘Schwalbe’ Me 262A-1a/U1 comes to War Thunder as a reward for squadron players in one of our future updates!In War Thunder, the Me 262A-1a/U1 will be a reward for active game participation by squadron players. Experienced pilots are well acquainted with the classic “Schwalbe” and this new modification of the aircraft doesn’t have any other noticeable differences from other Me 262s. When flying this aircraft, you’d better have a high amount of energy up your sleeve, avoid dogfights (especially with piston-engined fighters), and of course, remember that your opponents can be faster than you. However, as there aren’t likely to be many other jet engine aircraft, and given its relatively low battle rating, the Me 262A-1a/U1 can easily become a master of the skies.
As many as three types of guns allow players a choice of three different ammo racks. This might be considered the most interesting feature of the Me 262A-1a/U1 - at the same time, you can equip the guns with, say, excellent 30mm armour-piercing rounds for the MK.103, and powerful HE shells for the MK.108 and MG.151/20. So, when engaging in battles at high altitudes, you can easily catch out a couple of clumsy bombers, and with a sharp dive, take a bite out of some ground targets as well - there are many possibilities!
