War Thunder

I am on it all the time really enjoy the tanks its seems fairly polished for a f2p game. Planes are good fun too.

The tiger is good fun. only problem is at that level the game turns to a sniping contest not many agressive tiger drivers ha ha.

A few of us on most nights on the gaellords ts if ya wanna pop on

If you are willing to spend some money on it i recommend either a bundle that gives you a premium account and tank as well as golden eagles too. Otherwise going through the ranks can take its time. You can get em on steam or through the warthunder shop.

I got the steam mega pack when it was like 35 euro on steam got a few premiums and about 18000 golden eagles with like 4 months premium account made it soo much quicker havent spent anything else so far ha ha

A good game but once I got to a certain level I found that it got too difficult as you could get taken out too easily. I spent 15-20 euros on it but definitely got my money's worth out of it.

heh

there's been a few threads across a few forums (and I've posted in most)

level 100

era V in four of the five nations (era IV with russia)

era V in german tanks, era IV in russian and american tanks

Do the planes still handle like s**t with a joystick?

They've improved it 2 patches ago. Still not perfect and needs a bit of tweaking in your settings but vastly improved


If you've not tried it, go try the events Realistic combined/simulator combined

by far the best modes in the game.

both modes turn off target icons on enemy tanks (and on map) which makes the tank combat really intense as it requires you to spot via eyeball which leads to some excellent gameplay.

it definately need the thread title changed at least maybe to Military Sim Games or Air land and Sea combat games or something like that

That trailer is freaking amazing and makes me want to play game again, but I know that I will play few games, get frustrated by complete RNG and feck off again.

Man this game is under a lot of flak by its community this week.

They are making a lot of changes to try and improve the game and to say to made a balls releasing the update would be an understatement


1. They've removed the spotting system from both RB and from the map on SB so now there is no more spotting in either mode

2. They've stopped matchmaking for SB, instead turning it over to an event only system

3. They've updated mouse aim


All big mechanical changes, no fluff of new toys to hide behind

and they made a balls of all 3.

The updated mouse aim had to be removed after a few hourse due to reports from players in arcade that it outright broke the game for them. Making it impossible to keep control of their planes, I missed it, but supposedly it was hilarious to see

The simulator events set up has been fumbled badly, firstly despite announcements a month ago they were going to do this, on the website, in the game on the forum etc, there was a big influx of players to the forums complaining about this change.

this was made worse because part of what they promised was to ensure no one felt left out there would be multiple events running all the time across all the tiers so players wouldnt feel like they couldnt level up in simulator

but that wasnt delivered, instead there was only 1 event.

On top of that there's a very vocal sense of anger with the fact that SB is now combined arms again.

and one feature in SB planes that has been working very well that was introduced recently which was the extended join in progress was broken by the new patch.


And then the no markers RB for tanks has had mixed reaction because Gaijin have mostly kept mum on the issue with its graphic engines at different levels and thats a topic that is just seething over with anger at this stage. Turning off markers in RB has just made that issue front and centre.


So not a good week.


personnally

I dont play arcade so the mouse aim issue didnt bother me

SB going events only wont bother me if they deliver on the promise of a wide variety of events parallel, in fact it might be better if it allows us to avoid the dreaded BR system. But if they drag their heels on that I'll be joining the anger brigade

and I've always been mixed on the whole graphics issue because i think its more of a map issue then the actual graphics because I've looked into it and the differences between maps on the same setting indicates its an issue that just needs some major overhaul on some of the earlier maps rather then threatening to kick everyone below a certain hardware threshold off the game.

Is there a boards.ie squadron?

nothing beyond having a tag in front of your name and the ability to enter squadron battles when they are up and compete on the squadron points table.

Not worth it unless A) there are a lot of us squading up chatting on a teamspeak

or enough of us are good enough to actually compete in the points table/squad battles (no there are not)

i would have thought that was a common enough event ? have shot down loads of planes with tanks. bombers and figher bombers especially easy . cause bombers are slow and fighter bombers head straight for you . it is a great feeling though

haha ive shot down loads of bombers with the cannon . annoys the nuts off me when i hit them and it does little damage or i only get an assist though . and as you said the coax . especially on the higher tier russian tanks rips planes apart and some light tanks

its a great feeling though to hit them with the cannon isnt it ? you can just imagine what the pilot is thinking :P

Its cross platform Kesh, so PS4, PC and MAC I believe can all play together, I'm PC, Subjectb5 if ya wanna add me.
