Unguided Brits!
Well-known to War Thunder pilots, British RP-3 rockets were among the first aviation rockets in the game. But they can still surprise you! Triplex is a fancy design of three RP-3 rocket engines with a single warhead. The hit of such a rocket is approximately equivalent to the hit of three RP-3s at once. Triplex R.P. forgives some mistakes in aiming and is perfect for destroying tanks that might survive after being hit by a regular single RP-3.
Three rockets in one? Why only three? - British engineers probably thought this, developing Uncle Tom, an experimental anti-ship rocket, the continuation of the idea of the Triplex project. The nominal weight of the rocket is 1,000 pounds, but in reality it is slightly more. There are as many as 6 RP-3 engines. Now they are not just combined with clamps, but are enclosed in a cylindrical metal chassis. Each engine has an external cone-shaped nozzle. The warhead of Uncle Tom is an armour-piercing high-explosive, designed to explode after penetrating the armoured belt of a ship - a destroyer or cruiser. Of course, in mixed battles against tanks, such a rocket will also come invery handy!
The most advanced design in the experimental series with the RP-3 engines. The 1,000 lbs Red Angel - it has folding wings that deploy after launch. The warhead is similar to the Uncle Tom rocket: the projectile was supposed to destroy heavily armored naval targets, in particular, Sverdlov-class cruisers (for this, however, it would take at least 6 hits). Red Angel was tested on the Wyvern turboprop fighter, one rocket under each wing mount. For war at sea, rockets were recognized as ineffective due to the short range. In addition, by that time, guided missiles were already appearing. The project was closed, "Red Angel" had never sunk a single ship. But in War Thunder, you can now not only easily try out Red Angel rockets against cruisers, but also against tanks. All three new rockets will be available in the British aircraft tech tree with the upcoming content update in War Thunder. See you soon! The War Thunder Team

Were pleased to introduce new cool mounted weapons for British aircraft. Mighty rockets suitable for both sinking ships and blowing up tanks!
New cool stuff for British pilots - three new extremely powerful rockets to mount on British aircraft. These rockets will be available for RAF aircraft, such as the Hawker Sea Fury, the Mosquito FB Mk 6, the Avenger Mk II, the Firebrand, and the Wyvern.

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.
