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.

R3 T-20 FA-HS

The R3 T-20 FA-HS is a SPAA in War Thunder with a Battle Rating of 5.0 in realistic battles. It was (and for some, still is) hated for being at a lower battle rating, as when implimented into the game it was initially at the Battle Rating of 3.3. Due a fast-firing gun and a high top speed, it was easily able to flank and kill other tanks. It was progressively moved higher in BR to the location it currently sits at, solving the issue. The vehicle is referred to by some as the 'Lunchbox' or 'Cockroach' due to the shape of its cabin.

Person 1: I just got killed by an R3 T-20 FA-HS!
Person 2: Tough luck man.
