The F11F-1 Tiger was an American carrier-based fighter developed in the 50’s for the needs of the US Navy. It became one of the first supersonic aircraft in service with the Navy and actually did not stay in service for long - new, faster jets began to replace the Tiger very quickly. The fighter remained in the ranks of the famous US Navy aerobatic team, the Blue Angels, for the greater time.
The Maxim Gorky is a Soviet Kirov-class light cruiser with more powerful anti-air weapons. It took part in the defense of Leningrad during World War II.

The Freccia gunboat served in the Italian navy from 1965 until 1985 and was built with a modular principle in mind, allowing it to easily swap the weapon systems. In War Thunder the Freccia is presented in its gunboat form with three 40mm Bofors automatic cannons, which it can use against both enemy vessels and aircraft, but one of the cannons can be replaced with a pair of torpedoes.
