During the Cold War, the fear of conflict between the West and the Soviet bloc pushed the rapid development of weapons to give each side an advantage. By the 1950s, most air forces had traded in propeller-driven aircraft for jets and an arms race began between the nuclear-capable strategic bombers and the fast interceptors to combat them. Combat helicopters also saw major advancements. Armoured warfare tactics and technologies were revised, leading to the development of the main battle tank and the armoured infantry vehicle. In many armies, the submachine gun and the battle rifle were largely replaced by the more modern assault rifle. Submarines and missiles saw huge gains in effectiveness. Nuclear weapons in particular were made smaller and exponentially more powerful. Test your knowledge on Cold War weapons. Includes every major tank, armored fighting vehicle, aircraft, firearm, submarine and ship from each nation which took part in the conflict. Challenge yourself to see how many you can recognize! SIMPLE, FUN AND ADDICTIVE Hundreds of questions with different levels of difficulty await you. Do you think you can beat all of them? DETAILED INFORMATION ON EACH WEAPON Service history and technical details provided for each weapon. HELP TOKENS TO THE RESCUE If you get stuck on a level, you have three types of tokens at your disposal to help you reach the next one: reveal a single letter, remove extra letters or skip the level.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

War Thunder Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: War Thunder Mobile has 142K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Guess the Cold War Weapon's written reviews are positive against 73% of War Thunder Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Guess the Cold War Weapon ships an update every 10 months, War Thunder Mobile every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
