Bonk Gun

A term used for large guns in War Thunder. Most players usually classify guns of this type as those with a caliber of 37mm and up, as these are extremely powerful against planes.

XxOpaqueBoobsxX: I just got killed by a Ki-109
=BALD=McChicken: Which one’s that again?
XxOpaqueBoobsxX: The Japanese twin engine with the 75mm Bonk Gun.

Spahpanzer SP.I C

A West German light tank destroyer prototype armed with a 90mm cannon, developed in the 1950s. It was designed to be small, mobile, and air-droppable, allowing them to easily ambush mass Soviet armoured attacks.

It’s available in World of Tanks and World of Tanks Blitz as a Tier 7 light tank, notable for poor armour but great mobility and stealth.

I know World War 2 prototypes are cool, b it have you heard of the Spahpanzer SP.I C?

Wind of Change

The (as on the time of writing) most recent major update to War Thunder, famous for adding the A-10 Thunderbolt II.

(In 2025)

Person 1: Hey dude which update did Gaijin add the A-10 in?
Person 2: Wind of Change.
Person 1: Oh yeah.

ASU

Abbreviation for Aviadesantnaya Samokhodnaya Ustanovka (Airborne Self-Propelled Gun), a series of light tank destroyers meant to be air droppable into warzones. The abbreviation has become colloquially used to refer to the vehicles of this series built, such as the ASU-57 and ASU-85.

Hey bro, have you heard of the ASU tank destroyers?

Ki-45

A Japanese fighter used in World War Two. There were four major production variants. These are:

Ki-45 Kai-Ko (A): Initial escort fighter variant armed with 2x 12.7mm Ho-103 Machine Guns and 1x 20mm Ho-3 cannon.

Ki-45 Kai-Otsu (B): Kai-Kos fitted with a Type 94 37mm cannon instead of the Ho-3.

Ki-45 Kai-Hei (C): Anti-Shipping type armed with 1x Ho-3 and 1x 37mm Ho-201 cannons.

Ki-45 Kai-Tei (D): Night Fighter armed with 1x Ho-201 in nose as well as 2x 20mm Ho-5 cannons in a Schräge Musik mounting behind the pilot’s seat.

Used from 1942 until the war’s end, these aircraft proved somewhat successful, with over 1600 aircraft built. This makes the most produced Japanese twin-engined fighter of the war.

Have you seen the Ki-45 at the Udvar-Hazy Center?

Voolcy

A person who should never be voted for, despite the threats towards his opposition.

Voolcy: “Vote Voolcy!,!!!,!!!,!!,!,1@1111”

Gigachad: “How about.... no.”

Aral Sea

Added with update 'Ground Breaking' in War Thunder, Aral Sea is a Ground Forces map. It is almost universally hated.

The map is made to look like the drained areas of the Aral Sea, which has shrunk quite a lot form its original size due to Soviet mismanagement.

I absolutely hate the Aral Sea map in War Thunder.
