[Development] F-89B and F-89D Scorpion: Jet Bros
[ 2019-09-10 06:54:28 CET ] [ Original post ]
The Scorpion was designed to fight Soviet bombers back before the Cold War was even a thing. It carries a massive number of rockets for its time and was the worlds first aircraft to carry air-to-air nuclear rockets. Get ready for two different versions of the F-89 Scorpion jet!
In War Thunder 1.91 Night Vision we offer two versions of the Scorpion the F-89B and F-89D which will become rank V premium aircraft in the US Airforce line. Like the Australian Boomerangs, they are acquired in order. Each modification is interesting in its own way, but theyre especially good together. The F-89B is a typical early post-war jet interceptor. Its not-worst-at-its-rank speed and rate of climb allow it to catch up to any piston-engine aircraft and fight early jets on an even footing. The F-89B is splendidly equipped for hunting other aircraft its six 20mm M24A1s with a high rate of fire and 1,200 rounds are conveniently located in the front section of the fighter and allow the pilot to fire long, accurate volleys with barely any jams. Traditionally there are several kinds of ammo to choose from, including armour-piercing rounds, which allow you to deal with AA guns and armoured cars.
As for the F-89D, its exclusively an assault aircraft designed to deliver concentrated strikes against ground targets. The two unguided rocket launchers installed on the front part of the fuel tanks at the ends of the wings hold 104 Mighty Mouse rockets, each of which contains the equivalent of over a kilogram of TNT. In addition, another 16 HVARs, which fare quite well even against the sturdiest tanks, can be attached to the pylons. This modification has no guns, but why would you need guns when you have SO many rockets?

War Thunder is a free-to-play, cross-platform MMO combat game for Windows, Linux, Mac and PlayStation®4 dedicated to military vehicles used in and around World War II and the Korean War. In War Thunder, you can take part in major battles on land, in the air, and at sea, fighting with real players from all over the world in a continuously developing environment.
War Thunder already offers a highly detailed experience in military aviation and ground forces combat, giving players access to a Guinness World Record breaking number of aircraft, as well as an abundance of tanks and other combat vehicles - and the number is constantly rising.
You can feel the unmatched intensity of aerial dogfights in a fighter, the decisive power of commanding a heavy strategic bomber or the heat of battle in a ground attacker, delivering precision strikes against your enemies. Alternatively, you can join the spearhead of armoured vehicles, fighting for dominance over the battlefield on the ground: Man a heavy tank with impressive armour and firepower, use the maneuverability of a medium or light tank to your advantage, or support your team by screening the skies with your anti aircraft vehicle - the choice is yours!
In the future, the game will also allow players to ‘set sail’ by commanding a variety of warships in the fight over the control of the world’s oceans, giving the game a truly epic scale.
Master your vehicles through both upgrades and personal experience in an environment that is constantly expanding and rewarding the personal skill of the player. Organise your efforts in one of the countless player squadrons and become an ace pilot or tanker - or both! Our thriving and welcoming community of millions of players is also actively participating in the game’s ongoing development, offering custom content through War Thunder Live, such as skins, missions and even vehicles.
War Thunder has something for everyone. Play cooperative games with your friends on Windows PC, Linux, Mac or PlayStation 4 against AI, or squad up for a PvP battle in a difficulty setting matching your play style, ranging from Arcade to Simulator using Mouse and Keyboard, Gamepad or Joystick.
