These Premiums Are Leaving FOREVER! - War Thunder May Sale 2026
📚 Main topics
- Packs leaving the storeThe Hawk 209, Su-22M4 WTD 61, MiG-21 Bison, F-20A Tigershark, AV-8B Night Attack, and J-7D are set to be removed after the May sale. 0:31
- Hawk 209 and Su-22M4 WTD 61The Hawk 209 is judged a poor 10.3 option, with its Mavericks the main appeal. The Su-22 can work for base bombing or ground attack, but its size, handling, and more demanding guided weapons limit its usefulness. 1:03 3:06
- MiG-21 Bison and F-20A TigersharkBoth have strong weapons for their battle ratings but carry limited missile loads and face punishing matchmaking against newer, better-armed aircraft. The creator advises against buying the F-20A. 6:44 9:17
- AV-8B Night Attack and J-7DThe AV-8B is weak for air combat but can be an effective ground-attack aircraft with its targeting pod and guided weapons. The J-7D is described as a dominant fighter for its battle rating, with four strong short-range missiles. 10:50 13:26
✨ Key takeaways
- Best candidatesThe J-7D and AV-8B Night Attack are the strongest recommendations, depending on whether the buyer wants a fighter or a ground-attack aircraft. The Su-22 is worth considering for players comfortable using its guided weapons. 15:30
- Matchmaking mattersStrong aircraft can still be frustrating purchases when they regularly face higher-rated opponents with more capable weapons. 8:16
- Test guided weapons firstThe Su-22’s Kh-29 missiles can be powerful, but the creator recommends trying them in test drive before buying. 5:12
🧠 Lessons learned
- Choose for your lineup and play styleThe AV-8B makes more sense as ground support in a suitable lineup than as an air-combat aircraft. 12:24
- Don’t buy just because a vehicle is retiringLeaving the store does not make a vehicle a good purchase; consider its performance, matchmaking, and alternatives. 10:19
🏁 Conclusion/next steps
- Final recommendationsPrioritize the J-7D or AV-8B Night Attack, and consider the Su-22 if its ground-attack role suits you. The creator invites viewers to ask further questions on stream. 15:30
Transcript excerpt
0:01 Hello everyone. Hope you doing well. We are back in War Thunder and we're having a look at the premiums which are being removed from sale after this May sale specifically. So, in this video we'll go through all of the ones which are being removed and on top of this give my recommendations. If you want to pick any of them up, I'll leave a pinned comment in the comment section with the link to them and then also in the description too if you want to check them out. As always, if you enjoy the content, make
0:31 sure to subscribe and like the video. Let's get into it. The packs that are being removed from the platform are the Hawk 209, the SU-22M4 WTD 61, the MiG-21 Bison, the F-20A Tigershark, the AV-8B Night Attack, and also the J-7D. So, basically a bunch of planes, which shouldn't be too surprising because well, we are pretty much in line for a bunch more premiums to come in the active radar homing era. Wouldn't be surprised if America gets a new one and
1:03 then also France and maybe some other nations too. But anyway, let's get into some of the vehicles. Number one, we have the Hawk 209. This one hasn't been in the game for very long as a pack and the reason why it's being removed, I mean there's no reason to buy this thing. The vehicle itself is a very rough vehicle at 10.3. They even removed the F-4EJ's and also the AV-8S to try and get people to buy this and nobody did. You also have the F-2A ADTW which people are going to buy anyway
