Project Overpowered: Po-2M


The most infamous plane in the game gets a nice set of floats! Meet the new image for the legendary biplane. Is the Po-2 still 2 OP?

Po-2M, light bomber, USSR, rank I. Premium.


Features:
  • Very low speed and climb rate
  • Lacks forward guns
  • Poor turret
  • Perfect agility
  • Incendiary bombs
The Po-2 is a legendary aircraft in War Thunder. Some time ago we had to take it out of the tech tree due to its extremely low speed (just slightly over 130 km/h!) and the lack of forward weapons, which made it a very easy target in the hands of a beginner. At the same time, during game events that allow you to get this biplane, many experienced players eagerly try to get it into their collection. Why? Firstly, this is the best trolling plane ever - there is nothing more delightful than to fly the Po-2 in high-rank battles and destroy a couple of modern tanks, accurately throwing small 50-kg bombs on the turret, or shoot down a jet fighter with a single rifle-caliber turret. Secondly, the Po-2 is truly great for mastering more advanced types of aircraft control - with the help of a mouse joystick or a full-fledged joystick and a pilot's head position tracker. Thirdly, the Po-2 is a truly valuable collectible aircraft with its own history; the famous night witches, the WWII Soviet female pilots, fought on these fragile and slow flying biplane bombers.

In the autumn crafting event Project "Overpowered" we present a new modification of the aircraft - the hydroplane Po-2M, a premium light bomber from the USSR tech tree, rank I. So, a few words about what is good and what is bad with a new iteration of Po-2. On the one hand, the Po-2M is ridiculously bad - it is still the slowest aircraft in the game, it has no forward weapons, and the biplanes only protection is a single rifle-caliber turret. The Po-2M is very susceptible to any damage, even small bullets and shrapnel adversely affects its flight performance. The floats make landing on an airfield a significant challenge, and usually lead to an accident.

On the other hand, the Po-2M is ridiculously good! The snail-slow airplane has amazing maneuverability, and its maximum speed is below the stall speed of any fighter. This is a bomber-class aircraft, with air respawn and a bombsight. Because of the float, there is no central pylon, but the load remains very, very decent for a rank I light bomber: up to 200 kg of bombs in 50 and 100 kg, 8x82 or 8x132 mm rockets, as well as 4x50 kg of incendiary bombs, which are very relevant in low rank battles.
Is Po-2M 2 OP? Depends on the hands that pilot it! We are sure that this premium biplane will give you a lot of satisfying frags, both on the ground and in the air, and hey, it's a fun aircraft too.

  • Available DLCs

  • 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.

    Features include:

    • An entire arsenal at your command - Over 500 highly detailed aircraft, tanks, and other combat vehicles crafted carefully from historical documents and surviving sources.
    • Right into the heat of battle - Intense PvP experiences in full-scale combat missions on various difficulty settings for all play styles and degrees of experience.
    • A single bullet can make a difference - A realistic damage system for aircraft and ground vehicles involving individual component durability instead of an overall health bar.
    • The true free to play experience - Download and play the game for free as much and as long as you like it. Support the ongoing development entirely at your own leisure.
    • Crossing the platform border - Seamless cross-platform gameplay between Windows PC, Linux, Mac and PlayStation®4 (more to come) with tens of thousands of players from all over the globe online at the same time.
