War Thunder: Patch 1.49/1.70.1945 round up Episode 1
With lots of new Dev Blog articles being released in relation to Patch 1.49, I decided to start off with the Patch 1.49 round up series. In this episode I look at the preliminary list for new aircraft and tanks, new maps and articles on individual vehicles.
Today we continue our look at British Tanks that need adding to War Thunder, focusing on the A20 Heavy Tank and variants of the subsequent A22 Churchill Infantry Tank, primarily the Churchill MK IV with its new cast turret and better MK V 6 pounder 57mm gun and the rather unique Churchill NA 75, fitted with 75mm guns and mantlets from damaged Sherman tanks.
Overall these tanks would be a great addition to the British Tank Tech Tree, giving us some cool and unique tanks that while not groundbreaking, would help fill out the British tech tree while allowing us access to some rather interesting tanks!
Intro: 00:00
A20 Heavy Tank: 00:33
Churchill MK IV: 06:38
Churchill NA75 (Added in Sky Guardians update): 10:32

Please note that I will likely be doing specs only for the Royal Navy aircraft, I severely underestimated the amount of planes that would be added and have been unable to even start on the other nations tech tree analysis due to the still looking for information on these aircraft, future videos of this type will likely be toned down in this regard, perhaps focusing on major changes such as new aircraft, or new variants with massive changes e.g ME 262 with 50mm being added counting as major while BF 109 E1 not being counted as major.

Today we take a look at the first devblog of the next update, with the first announced vehicle being the German Sd.Kfz.222 armoured car, with 2 variants coming to War Thunder in both the German and Chinese tech trees as an SPAA vehicle.
Despite being the same vehicle, their are some noticable differences between the 2 vehicles which we will look at in this episode as well as how they will likely play in game.

Today on the Sons of Attila Dev Server we take a look at USS Texas (BB-35), a new tier 6 American Battleship that will be introduced in the upcoming update.
So join me as I take a look at the USS Texas, its stats and how I think it will play in War Thunder, as well as my future hopes for the US Naval Tech Tree!

Today we take a look at the BF-109 F4 as used by top scoring Hungarian Fighter Ace Dezső Szentgyörgyi, which is confirmed as the main aircraft prize in the upcoming "Royal Guard" battle pass, along with Germany's first incendiary bomb, the Flam C250.
While it is good news that Hungary is getting more representation in War Thunder and Italy is getting a new premium aircraft, it is unfortunate that it is 95% the same as the current BF-109 F4 in the German aircraft tech tree, though it is a good addition regardless.
