This time we have something for fans of all kinds of vehicles. There’s the outstanding G.55 Italian fighter, the decorated British battleship HMS Warspite, the Israeli Magach Hydra “Rocket Tank”, and the famous M1 Abrams American MBT.

Don’t forget, you can now use video subtitles!

HMS Warspite: Living Up to Its Motto

The early 20th century was the heyday of the battleship class. Great Britain became the trendsetter with its giant dreadnoughts — symbols of unquestionable military power and true tide-turners in naval combat.

M1 Abrams: In The Vanguard

Speed, armor, and power: the American Abrams tank needs no introduction. Built to dive straight into battle, crush its opponents, and secure a decisive advantage for its team, the Abrams is a force to be reckoned with. While getting the hang of it isn’t particularly hard, the devil is in the details — and this tank is no exception. In this video, we’ll talk about the techniques that will help you master the M1 family of main battle tanks, explore their strengths and weaknesses, and, of course, take a look at their rivals.

Thunder Show: SUPER CHAFFEE

This episode features an express way to lose, an underground duel, one very feisty Chaffee, a few spin frags, and a highly realistic battle of two squads.

Magach Hydra: Rocket Tank

In the uniform line of the Israeli Magach tanks, there’s one model that clearly sticks out. Its design features blocks of unguided rockets welded on top of its turret, resembling pretty silly ears or horns. However, while it does look a bit silly, it’s much more exciting to play. Please welcome: the Magach Hydra!

G.55: Best of Its Kind

In the early 1940s, Italian fighter aviation had a serious problem on its hands. Its main fighters, the Fiat G.50 and the Macchi C.200, had good maneuverability but were clearly inferior to the newest aircraft in speed, climb rate, and altitude performance. Some of the issues were alleviated by the modernization to “Serie 2” and using licensed copies of the German DB 601 engine. But those were only temporary measures that still didn’t improve them enough to engage targets at high altitudes — altitudes now occupied by strategic bombers. Besides, the Italian fighters were mostly armed with machine guns, and that was another point for improvement.
