Need Strong Low-Tier Planes for Battle Pass Air Tasks (Aviation Noob)

Hey folks,

I’ve been mostly a ground player in War Thunder—I’ve maxed out the USA ground tree and have a bit of progress in a few other nations. Lately, I’ve gotten into the Battle Pass and I’m enjoying it, but there’s a problem: air-related tasks, and I’ve got basically no air lineup.

I’m not really interested in grinding up the air trees—just don’t have the willpower for that—but I do want to get the Battle Pass done. So I’m looking for strong, low-era planes—ideally premiums—that can hold their own and help me get through the air tasks with as little pain as possible.

I’ll probably always be an aviation noob, so I’m not looking for anything super skill-demanding—just something reliable and capable of getting the job done. Any recommendations are welcome!

Thanks!

Well, first of all, you gotta make sure they meet the requirements. (Usually Tier III and up).

B7A2 can help with both base bombing and hunting bombers (if this is in arcade, I’m unsure if the B7A2 gets arb air spawn).

Simply buy the soviet 3.7 collection. You are set.

This fellow could work well in a line-up with Japanese P-51C-11 i think. We are getting somewhere! :)

IL-2M included?

Japan 3.7 is a great line up in all fairness.

Some other 3.7 planes include:
Ki 108 Kai
Ki 49-IIB
Ki 49-IIB/L

Plus several other rank 3 planes .3 br above and below, these + the P-51 should be enough for most challenges

Just a shame the B7A2 homare 23 is a BP reward and the Ki-96 was relegated to limited sales.

It can replace IL-8 easily. You can put the 3.3s in as well. And the free tree will soon supply the rest.
