Been playing it for the last few days, one thing that I really like is it seems you can progress at a decent rate even without buying premium. I'm rank 6 with USA, gives access to a decent range of planes. I'm enjoying the gameplay as well, only been playing arcade so far but I will have to configure TrackIR and my joystick for it and give the simulator battles a go at some point.

Agreed about the ping, I normally get 400-450 depending on time of day, and generally dont notice it, apart from occasionally dying at really low altitude, when a tree doesnt load in until after i have flown through it.

I am very new to the game, only played a few.

I managed to stall a biplane in arcade mode, glided to the ground while going "where the hell is the start engine button?!?!" but I was too close to an armoured column and they blew me up.

Some of the planes you fly against you seem to be able to pump every round you have into them to no effect (shooting from <50m, constant hit indicators) so if I run out of ammo I ram them :domokun:

Yeah I'm not sure if its a problem with hit registration, or if you really need to focus on hitting certain weak points, but its pretty odd. Although despite how often you can sit behind someone and put a thousand rounds into them with little effect, every now and then you can get one hit kills on people, whether from shooting the pilot out or just somehow blowing them up instantly.

One thing that has been annoying me is taking heavy damage, but still being able to land the plane, and then getting auto ejected anyway. It's not consistant either, so sometimes you can make it back to the airstrip with pretty much everything on your plane inoperable, and other times you'll get ejected as soon as you lose the engine

The matchmaker needs some work too, every now and then you will be in a battle where everyone is around rank 6 or 7, and then theres one random who is rank 20 and flying a jet lol.

My buddy insisted we both fly German.

The German and British reserve planes just don't turn fast enough to beat the US reserves and don't have the firepower of the Russians. I do like the CR though with it's twin 12.7. Can actually take out some of the larger planes and easily destroy ground targets.

Who cares if it does better with making money all I care about is it is an epic game as is

And on the money making subject F2P games like this that use this model are some of the best games I have played as for them to make money they need to fix and improve and do so constantly and if there is an issue they fix it then and there rather than waiting a month or 2 to the next scheduled patch to fix a game breaking issue

The only things that get fixed quickly are things that reduce income, like the error on WoT that had cammo too cheap for the T-34-1 or something, fixed in a mini patch in 24 hours - CW goes down for weeks, comes up worse than before.

  • 2 weeks later...

My advice for anyone starting out in War Thunder it to buy the two extra Russian crews for lions. Pick up the Chaika and the PBY-5a. Run all reserve and those two and proceed to rake in the XP and credits.

Unless you're Clutch, in which case not repeatedly crashing directly into the ground is the best you can hope for. At least he had a good name for a bit - FlyingDildo4

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
