Briefly: One of the unique hydrofoil gunboats currently available in the naval closed beta. The craft features excellent speed and maneuverability as well as an intimidating array of heavy weaponry.

The USS Tucumcari is an American prototype hydrofoil gunboat developed in the late 1960s as a testbed for evaluation of new hydrofoil technologies.

The USS Tucumcari, named after the city in New Mexico, was a hydrofoil boat developed by the Boeing company in the late 1960s to test a decade's worth of hydrofoil research and development. She was a true state-of-the-art ship, sporting the latest in hydrofoil technology, electronics and a powerful gas turbine engine. All of this granted the ship an excellent top speed and maneuverability, whilst also allowing it to seamlessly traverse even rough waters. USS Tucumcari was delivered and commissioned to the U.S. Navy in March 1968.





The USS Tucumcari is already waiting for eager captains at the dock in the closed beta testing of War Thunder naval forces. We'll see you at sea, captains!
