Romanian Tanks That Need Adding To War Thunder - Part 1: World War II era

2023-10-15 1

In this video we will be taking a look at some of the less or unrepresented nations of War Thunder, with this episode looking at Romanian Tanks of the World War II period, with an episode looking at Cold War and Modern Romanian Tanks to come at a later date.

I also brefly discuss the viability of a Romanian subtree, though of course a minor Axis powers or Warsaw Pact tech tree could be viable as well.

Overall these tanks represent a rather diverse range of tanks and modifications, allowing Romania to have a fighting chance against the massive amounts of Soviet Armour it encountered on the Eastern Front and which would later be turned against their former German allies after Romania's defection.
