Avro Shackleton MR Mk.2: The Flight of A Thousand Rivets



The Avro Shackleton is a long-range, multipurpose maritime patrol aircraft, built as a counter to the increasing threat of Soviet submarines in the early days of the Cold War. All War Thunder pilots and fans of British aviation may look forward to having the chance to pilot the beautiful Shackleton, coming to the game with the update Direct hit!

In War Thunder, the Avro Shackleton will become available to all players with the release of update Direct hit in the later Mk.2 version. At first glance, players may already notice some of the legacy design solutions that got carried over to the Shackleton from the Lincoln; such as the wings, engine nacelles and dorsal turret. A unique characteristic of the Shackleton is its powerplant choice. Namely, its the only British piston-engine aircraft of its size powered by the Rolls-Royce Griffon 57 engine, and four of them at that! Furthermore, the designers also fitted the Shackleton with two contra-rotating propellers for each engine in order to effectively deal with engine torque. Admit it, it also looks nice, doesnt it?





The new Avro Shackleton will become available to all War Thunder pilots as two new bombers of the higher ranks of the British aviation tree, coming to the game as part of the Direct Hit update. Stay tuned to the news to find out more about the next major update coming to War Thunder very soon. Until then, pilots!
