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.

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.

Curtiss-Wright CW-21

A US built fighter meant for export built shortly before world war 2. The aircraft was exported to China and the Dutch East Indies and proved to be one of the few aircraft capable of keeping up and turning with Japanese built A6Ms and Ki-43s. It can be found in War Thunder in the Chinese tech tree at rank I, with a battle rating of 2.7. With a excellent rate of climb, great agility, and decent firepower, it makes for a great bomber interceptor.

Interestingly, there is a popular misconception that the aircraft was known as ‘Demon’. This name was actually attached after the war. Since the aircraft was made for export, demonstrator aircraft would often be sent out to other countries for them to observe. They were often referred to as ‘Demon.’ in short in documents, which led to some believing it was being referred to as Demon.
Person 1: Hey, that guy just shot down my bomber!
Person 2: What sort of plane was it?
Person 1: It was one of those damn Curtiss-Wright CW-21s. How didn’t my FW-200’s guns kill it?
