The War Thunder Aviation Iceberg Explained

Over the decade of War Thunder's existence, many things have been both added to and removed from the game, with many things being totally forgotten. In this video, I'll go over many of those things, as they relate to aircraft, and in an iceberg format. This video has many aircraft, concepts, and events, so let's get into it!

Ash's Hidden Vehicle Video:

[@Registered_Simp]

I have come to claim my WT boomer certificate. I remember when the Leopard-1 was brand new and some people were worrying we were starting to get too modern. Imagine bringing them to present day and watching them have a heart attack XD

[@bluenightfury4365]

Was never aware camping AF's was a punishable offense, does this also apply to purposefully denying other player kills by say, crashing into the ground like some people do as well?

[@tellmewhenitsover]

Hes just listing things that exist in the game... thats not an iceberg

[@L1mp1nB1zk1t]

Italy air is rarely played because much of the planes are overpriced on repair costs, overtiered and/or just genuinely uncompetitive. Not to mention much of the jets are simple copy & pastes.

[@brianlynchehaun1963]

A good start to this video would be explaining wtf an 'iceberg' is in the context of this game. As a very new player, very little of this video made any sense. Kind of a pain when the title of the video

Wow. I have Tupolev TU-2 and now I am proud of it. I participated in the open beta. They actually gave the plane also for the open period of the beta test, not only for the closed. I tried to apply for the closed testing but they didn't allow me back then, so I only played the open. I was really anticipating the game back then. Now I don't play it because it is too expensive to me, absolutely impossible to get to anything except low BR just by grind. But I still love the game and have fond memories of playing as a kid it back in 2013-2015. I am a gamedev programmer and, maybe one day, I will apply to be hired as a WT developer to be able to play high BRs, lol.

[@21babydew]

The reason why gaijilla wasn't so know was it was dev server only so not nearly as many people got to play it compared to the other April fools

[@JChris2403]

Italy has a lot of good planes. Also in the prop tiers. They had been pretty good at building fighters in WW2 but sucked at tanks^^

[@ODST_Parker]

As an Italy main, guess I'm firmly entrenched at the bottom of that iceberg. Entire air tree spaded except the newest G.91Y, ground tree spaded up to 9.3 and only five more vehicles to research. I'll complete it all eventually.

[@HlGHENERGY]

Funny thing about the Tu-2, they actually moved it up in br somewhat recently, from 4.0 to 4.3. It's pretty OP, idk the stats but it feels just like the higher br Tu-2's. I like to drop my bombs and use it as a heavy fighter

Some extra info on hidden vehicles as a long time player (since Oct. 2013): three of the seven SM.79 bombers now hidden in the German tech tree were removed in patch 1.35 (Dec. 2013), as they were very similar aircraft only there to inflate the number of "unique" vehicles in game for the Guiness World Record. I only have four of these variants in the German tree. In addition, the USSR had a couple of these bombers, two variants of the Yer-2 (which I don't have), and two variants of the SB-2M bomber (which I do have). Another thing, two of the German-Italian fighters (CR.42 and C.202) have additional unlockable skins the Italian tree lacks: the CR.42 can equip a Belgium 1940 skin, and the C.202 can equip a Luftwaffe skin with German markings and everything. Additionally, there are actually two hidden Gladiators, not just one: Gladiator IIF (in the video), and IIS (not in the video, I only own that one). They, alongside the regular Gladiator, were Britain's original reserve aircraft, the IIS was made available for an event celebrating the birthday of the Gladiator in 2015 (thats how I got it). UK also has the D.521, a gift copy-paste of the D.520. Finally, 4 of the 5 major nations used to have four reserve aircraft, that was cut down to three. USA only had three, Germany had the He.51 C-1/L, USSR has the I-15bis, UK had the Nimrod Mk.II, and Japan had the Ki-10 IIC

[@torborgarfsten9480]

As an Italian main with the F-104ASA and the Ariete, I feel hurt, and sad :(

[@andyyang5234]

I have the red/black P-51A, the German Italian planes, the A-26C-45, and of course the 2-OP. This was a great trip down memory lane of all the shit I worked hard for, back when I played a lot more than I do now. But in the end these are just collecting dust and I never really flew them again lol.

[@dutchdragon2472]

I remember when the 262 and Arado were the only planes that could land without gear, it was such an advantage!

[@chris.76256]

Thanks for the content dude, you never dissapoint. Keep it up

[@NeuKrofta]

I've been playing since patch 1.24, there is so much more War Thunder lore. Great video though, I have always been a dedicated Italy player, and have them all unlocked for Germany. My most played plane in Germany is the MC 202 xD

[@gsamov]

i really hope they add the A-9, it was the competitor to the A-10 when the us airforce was trying to get a new attack/coin aircraft

[@onixniper2770]

Nice video but you forgot a few things, BULLPUPS when they are add with FJ4B; G56 for a long time was the most expansive aircraft in ARB, TU4 when it were added can easily end a game by few minutes; At a att the A4E (i think) was capable of crashing into the ground crash the whole game of everyone in the match
