German pilots will have one of the highest altitude piston fighters in the game at their disposal! Yes, this clunky-looking single-engine fighter with a huge wingspan reveals its potential at high and super-high altitudes. For example, at an altitude of 15,000 meters, the BV 155 is capable of maintaining a speed of about 690 km/h, that is, having gained altitude, this aircraft is unlikely to meet an enemy of equal speed on the very “upper floors” on the battlefield. In addition, the fighter is perfect for hunting high-altitude bombers - in the end, it was designed for this very purpose.

The climb rate of the BV 155 is approximately 13.5 m/s at ground level, but increases slightly in the climb. The newcomer BV 155 comes with a solid arsenal of cannons: a 30mm MK 108 motor cannon and a pair of 20mm MG 151 cannons in the wings, both calibers can be equipped with high-explosive “minengeschoss” belts. Since the aircraft was conceived as a high-altitude interceptor, it has no suspended weapons, so air battles in all difficulty modes will become a priority for its use.

Thanks to his efforts, all War Thunder players will have a chance to get this fighter into their hangars for free. All details about prizes and rules of the new season come very soon. Stay tuned!
