War Thunder USS Flagstaff: War Thunder is gearing up for Battle Pass season with a naval focus. The grand naval prize of the season is a hydrofoil motor gunboat, USS Flagstaff.
In War Thunder’s naval combat, the USS Flagstaff is simply out of place. A hydrofoil Vehicle made by Grumman – an aircraft manufacturing firm – it possesses unprecedented underwater wings that are invisible to any other ship in the game. Such design allows the boat to rise above water at high velocity, reducing drags hence propelling it at incredible speeds. Here’s everything you need to know about War Thunder USS Flagstaff.
War Thunder USS Flagstaff is a premium Rank III vehicle that makes a great addition to every U.S. naval lineup. Let’s take a look at its key features:
The US Navy did not build the USS Flagstaff in a vacuum; rather it was developed at the same time as its near sibling classmate called the USS Tucumcari under the same program. Both vessels saw service during the Vietnam War and exhibited their unique qualities in real combat situations.

One of the most amazing things about War Thunder USS Flagstaff is her weaponry. Unlike many other motor gunboats, Flagstaff offers options for primary weapons:
Choosing between these two primary weapons allows you to customize the USS Flagstaff for your preferred playstyle. Would you rather unleash devastating lone shots with the tank cannon or rain down an assault of bullets with the Bofors? That’s up to you!
The War Thunder USS Flagstaff is not just about its main gun. It also comes with some decent secondary armaments including:
It’s unfortunate that the USS Flagstaff lacks heavy armor. Its protective plating is comparable to that of USS Tucumcari, so no matter what caliber it may have been fired from, including rifle rounds, they would penetrate through this thin armor easily. In other words, your best defense here would be a good offense – use your speed and mobility to get out of the enemy line of sight and stay alive.
The USS Flagstaff looks like it will be a fun addition to the next War Thunder Battle Pass season. With its speed, agility, and powerful weapons, this one-of-a-kind hydrofoil motor gunboat is sure to please leaders who like to play quickly and aggressively.
