Laté 298, hydroplane, France, rank I, Premium vehicle
Features:
Good handling characteristics

Deadly torpedo
The Laté 298 was designed on the basis of a requirement of the French Navy for a new single-engine seaplane to replace an older, less successful aircraft. As a result, engineers at Latécoère developed the Laté 298 which undertook its maiden flight in May 1936 and subsequently entered service in October 1938. Following the outbreak of WWII, the Laté 298 first saw combat during the Battle of France in 1940, harassing German units as they made their way inland. After the fall of France, the Vichy regime was allowed to operate a handful of Laté 298, which mainly served in North Africa before rejoining Allied operations after Operation Torch. The Laté 298 undertook its final missions during the Liberation of France in the final stages of WWII.
The Laté 298 will be one of the first prizes awaiting participants of this season’s winter marathon event in War Thunder. Being the first floatplane to become available to the French aviation tree since its arrival in the game, pilots may not only obtain an interesting aircraft to grow their collection, but they can also expand the tactical capabilities of their lineup with this unique machine.
Despite appearing somewhat harmless at a distance, the Laté 298 can pack a serious punch. In fact, pilots can strap an aerial torpedo underneath the fuselage and pose a serious threat to naval targets. Alternatively, a pair of 150 kg bombs can also be carried which in combination with precise bomb-dropping skills can quickly turn a heavily armored tank into a burning pile of scrap metal. Lastly, the Laté 298 also has access to a pair of wing-mounted rifle-caliber machine guns which can be used to strafe lightly protected ground targets or in self-defense against hostile fighters.
The Laté 298 is a unique addition to the French aviation lineup, both in terms of capability and design. So what are you waiting for? Take part in the winter special event, complete tasks and this interesting aircraft will soon be calling your hangar its new home!

Hope you’re in the mood for some good ol’ fashioned monster hunting, because the time for the grand Holiday Monster Bash is now! The idea is simple: drop on the surface, shoot some ugly critters and, once you’re done with blasting, go out and hunt some more!
Here’s all the details about the events:
How to participate
Participating is easy: just play the game! Starting on the 22nd, Monster kills will be tallied across all accounts by looking at our internal data and added to reach a final result at the end of the event. There are specific goals to reach if you want to get all the rewards, there’s not a second to lose!
Goals
Here’s a full list of how many creatures of each kind need to be taken down to unlock the highest reward:
Kill a total of 3,000,000 Striders
Kill a total of 750,000 Rattlers
Kill a total of 275,000 Marauders
Kill a total of 36,000 Ticks
Kill a total of 18,000 Crushers
These numbers may look daunting but are based on our current data, so we’re sure you’ll be able to handle it!
Rewards
Once we’ve hit roughly the halfway mark, every single Prospector will receive a Gingerbread Rattler as a cute little weapon charm. Once all the goals have been completed, every Prospector will receive a special holiday weapon coating!
When
You have until January 5 to squeeze in as many monster take-downs as you can.
After that, we’ll stop tallying up the notches and start counting the trophies. We’ll give you some updates throughout the event, so you know if you’re doing well or if you need to pick up the pace!
And that’s all the information you’ll need for this challenge. We’re excited to see what destructive force this teamwork will bring. On that note, the time for words is over: less talking, more bashing!
