The XA-38 Grizzly was an experimental late-war American ground attacker design, that was intended to replace the aging A-20 Havoc. Although it was a promising design, a shift in priorities in the later stages of the war caused the project to ultimately be cancelled. Though the Grizzly never got the chance to show his sharp claws to the enemy in real combat, he will get a second chance to prove himself with War Thunder pilots in the upcoming 1.71 update!

Development of the XA-38 Grizzly began in December 1942, when the United States Army Air Force signed a contract with the Beech Aircraft company to build two prototypes of their Model 28 “Destroyer”, as a potential replacement for the aging A-20 Havoc ground attack aircraft. Though the Havoc had proven itself to be a reliable and effective aircraft in the early years of WW2, it struggled to effectively take on heavily armoured targets later on, in turn signaling that it was ready to be replaced. Thus, following the core design concept of the Havoc, the Beech Aircraft company developed a fast, twin-engined aircraft, armed with a 75mm cannon, capable of destroying tough targets like tanks and concrete fortifications. The first prototype flew in May 1944, showing excellent performance. In fact, the Grizzly was entirely capable of outspeeding certain contemporary single-engine aircraft, thanks to the outstanding performance of the two Wright R-3350 engines it was equipped with.





The XA-38 Grizzly eagerly awaits the release of the upcoming 1.71 update as a Premium Aircraft available for Golden Eagles, so it can finally receive the chance to show what it is truly capable of. What about you? Excited for the Grizzly to join the fight or are you looking forward to other additions coming with the next major update for War Thunder? Share it with us in the comments below!

G'day Forts Fans! On Saturday August 20th the seventh Forts Tournament got under way. The best players from around the world took each other on in one-on-one battles. After obscene numbers of bullets, shells and missiles had been fired, and many a mighty structure felled, Jobi and Cancer Alert had emerged as semi- finalists on one side of the draw, with Quxzcvoer facing off against T1meToCaRRy on the other side.

In the first semi-final Jobi came out on top against Cancer Alert 2-0 in a best-of-three series. The second semi-final T1meToCaRRy came up against two-time Supreme Champion Quxzcvoer, and had to bring all of his experience to bear in order to win, but win he did. Unfortunately, due to IT issues Jobi was unable to compete in the final, and as such had to forfeit the battle, meaning T1meToCaRRy is Supreme Champion for the second time. Congratulations to him! Prizes will be sent out this week.
