Get the FCM 36 mug.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.

Get the APCR mug.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.
