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

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
