Revenge CAS

What a War Thunder noob does when they die to an enemy tank and decide to spawn a plane

Something has to be done about all the Revenge CAS happening in War Thunder right now

Aral Sea

Added with update 'Ground Breaking' in War Thunder, Aral Sea is a Ground Forces map. It is almost universally hated.

The map is made to look like the drained areas of the Aral Sea, which has shrunk quite a lot form its original size due to Soviet mismanagement.

I absolutely hate the Aral Sea map in War Thunder.

APCR

Short for Armour Piercing Composite Rigid, this is a type of tank shell that uses a soft external casing to enclose a dense kinetic-energy penetrator which can pierce heavy armour. It’s infamous in War Thunder for being unreliable, as the shrapnel damage caused by the round’s core is small and often doesn’t injure crew. The concept of this sort of round was improved upon with the introduction of Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot (APDS) rounds.

Damn, I do hate using APCR rounds in War Thunder.

ASU-57

A Russian air-droppable tank destroyer, infamous in War Thunder for its sneakiness and surprisingly deadly gun. This sneakiness is often amplified with bushes. It’s also known as simply ASU.

Of course I couldn’t see him, he’s a ASU-57 covered in bushes!

P.108A

The plane with the record of the largest gun on it, a 102mm anti-shipping gun. It was based on the P.108 heavy bomber, built by the Italians during ww2.

Did you know that the plane with the biggest gun was the P.108A?

Wind of Change

The (as on the time of writing) most recent major update to War Thunder, famous for adding the A-10 Thunderbolt II.

(In 2025)

Person 1: Hey dude which update did Gaijin add the A-10 in?
Person 2: Wind of Change.
Person 1: Oh yeah.

Schräge Musik

A type of weapons setup used by German and Japanese aircraft in World War 2. In it, aircraft have cannons mounted in an upward firing position, usually diagonally, which are meant to hit and destroy bombers. The Japanese also had a variation with downward firing cannons which proved less successful. The term comes from German, and means Strange Music.

The allies initially struggled to counter German fighters with Schräge Musik guns.
