[h3]About these vehicles:[/h3]

• The Pz.Sfl.Ic is fast, maneuverable and stealthy which is ideal for reconnaissance and getting to capture points. Armed with a small but formidable 50 mm PaK38 cannon and also having decent armor protection, the Pz.Sfl.Ic is also able to destroy most enemy vehicles at its rank.
  
• The Panzer IV/70(A) is a tank destroyer armed with a 75 mm PaK42 gun. In addition to this, it also has impressive armor penetration with its PzGr 39/42 round and boasts good armor protection too. This compact and highly accurate firing tank destroyer is ideal for long-range defensive gameplay.

[h3]About this aircraft[/h3]

• Lanovski’s P-47M-1-RE is the fastest variant of the infamous Thunderbolt. Not only is it an excellent fighter featuring 8 x 12.7 mm Browning machine guns, but is also an attack aircraft that is capable of carrying bombs up to 1000 lb as well as HVAR rockets. This one was flown by Witold Lanovski — a Polish ace who served in the Royal Air Force during World War II. During this period, Lanovski flew 179 combat missions and continued his career as a pilot after the end of the war.
