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.

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

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      By tylink720 · Posted

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
