RN Luigi Cadorna (Italy)
A Premium Light Cruiser for Italy at Rank III
RN Luigi Cadorna (Italy)
Laid down in 1930, the light cruiser Luigi Cadorna was designed as one of the ships of the second series of Interbellum light cruisers. During the Second World War, Luigi Cadorna served primarily in auxiliary roles, participating in convoy operations, covering shipping between Italy and North Africa, and providing air defense for ports. After the Armistice of 1943, RN Luigi Cadorna was used by the Allies as a training vessel. Postwar, this ship remained in the Italian Navy until 1951, when it was struck off and scrapped.
In War Thunder, RN Luigi Cadorna relies on two key advantages of its design: incredible speed and excellent armament. This new light cruiser will arguably be the fastest of its class in the game, boasting a top speed of over 38 knots (over 72 km/h)! Despite its agility, this light cruiser carries a robust armament of eight 152 mm main guns and six 100 mm secondary guns. Lightly armored, RN Luigi Cadorna excels when quickly capturing objectives, destroying enemy destroyers, and group-hunting enemy light cruisers.
Re.2005 (VDM) (Italy)
A Premium Fighter for Italy at Rank IV
Re.2005 (VDM) (Italy)
The Reggiane Re.2005 Sagittario was one of the most advanced Italian fighters during the Second World War, developed as part of the “Serie 5” program alongside the Fiat G.55 and Macchi C.205. The designers of this aircraft used the German DB 605 series aircraft engine, and the second production prototype also tested the German VDM propeller. The prototypes demonstrated excellent performance, however the aircraft never entered large production. Only about 30 Re.2005s were built, primarily for air defense missions in the defense of Naples and Rome.
The star of Battle Pass Season 21 is the Re.2005 (VDM) Saggitario (Italian for “Shooter”), an improved version of one of the game’s best piston-engine fighters, the Re.2005 Series 0. This variant features a new propeller and a slightly reshaped nose, improving all key performance characteristics. The Re.2005 (VDM) is a fast, maneuverable fighter that excels in air combat at medium and high altitudes. With the ability to carry 630, 500, 250, 160, 100, and 50 kg bombs, the aircraft also excels in Ground and Naval Battles at the mid ranks.

MS 444 (Italy) — first time in the shop!
The American Higgins torpedo boat, originally built for Lend-Lease to the USSR, ended up in service with the Italian Navy after the war. The MS 444 is very fast and agile, and in addition to its torpedoes, it features an excellent armament of 40 mm and 20 mm autocannons. For the most effective salvo, position this boat broadside to the enemy.
Chi-Nu II (Japan) — first time in the shop!
The Japanese Chi-Nu II medium tank was a transitional design from the Chi-Nu to the “Sherman killer”, the Chi-To. The tank’s main advantage is its excellent 75 mm gun for its rank, as it fires accurately and quickly and has effective APHE rounds. The tank excels as a long-range sniper or as a support tank in urban combat.
Decals
Season 21 brings back the 2021-2022 Warbond decals in a special trophy, and also introduces a new “Sangoma” decal to continue the themed series!
