    Top tier Isreal has no spaa

    I know people have already said this but I'm very annoyed, the average match goes gets a few kills in the merkava 4 die to cas hop in a f16 immediately die to a pantsir (which I know is a skill issue) then I have no other option to counter cas. I just really want better spaa for every nation

    should ship whistles be added to naval?

    now hear me out. when i say they should be added, a lot of you are going to say its going to be spammed, which yes it probably will be. so i think ship whistles should have a cooldown like in WoWS, that way they wont be spammed, and besides, we already have attack/defend the D point. now, what good are ship whistles? well there main use could be to warn friendly ships who aren't paying attention and are about to ram you, or they could be used to troll an unsuspecting enemy. i think ship whistles would be a great quality of life change to naval and it would be pretty cool to hear all the unique ship whistles of different eras, like HMS Dreadnought or the Russian SKRs.

    The m4 and t34 have one of the dumbest cannons in the game.

    Constant Directx crashes + blue screen since firebird

    ever since firebirds came out only on SOME DAYS the game just permanently crashes citing directx errors and sometimes it will actually go as far as blue screening. I have COMPLETELY changed computers since the update and its the same exact issue with crashing. No other issues with any other applications. This is mega depressing as I literally spent a ton of money on vr + hotas + new computer and the game just perma crashes now. I have reinstalled 2x, I have updated CPU, GPU drives, windows updated, I do run NVIDIA shadow play. It used to only do it when directx12 was running with ray tracing and now it's just whenever.

    KV1-S or T-34-76 STZ

    4.0 v 4.0 (sometimes 4.3.)

    Which one's better? I personally think STZ because of sloped armor and speed, as I got 15 kills on that in rb, compared to only 8 with the KV1-S.

    Accidentally joined a South American arcade server to play a quick game and didn't realize how easy it was to get kills when not on my normal US server...

    Cosas que me disgustan de war thunder!

    Saben cuΓ‘l es unas de las cosas que odio de este juego??.... Los aviones..., como es posible que los desarrolladores o diseΓ±adores del juego al tener tanto dinero por ser un juego paytowin, como es posible que no pueda jugar tranquilo o salir de mi spawn y kboooooooooooommm, una bomba de dos toneladas callendome justo encima!!!!!!!!!!!!, porque eno puedo jugar tranquilo sin que venga un aviΓ³n y me dispare con caΓ±ones salido de mis peores pesadillas!! Han pasado muchas veces que muero mΓ‘s de dos veces sin salir de mi spawn porque me cae una bomba ?? Es enserio?? No piensan que hay jugadores que quieren estar tranquilos sin las molestia de tener que vigilar los 4 aviones sobrevolando sobre ti ?? No piensan en nosotros o solo viven por el dinero sin importarles la tranquilidad o las buenas experiencia en el juego?? Solo quiero ser uno mΓ‘s de los que quieren tener una experiencia grata en el juego , no quisiera opiniones del tΓ­pico Npc que dice "" es que no eres un desocupado de mrd como yo que le da dinero a Gaijin para poder jugar con aviones o tanques premium "", espero no ser el ΓΊnico cuerdo en este tema que piensa lo mismo

    Thoughts on having Ground RB and Air RB separate in service records?

    I personally don’t like how the tank stats and air stats get jumbled, would be nice to have them separated as they are completely different modes.

    As a BI player: Nerf this shit

    I unlocked the BI a while ago in a silver lion crate, had a few good games and quit it as to not ruin my 93% winrate in 30 matches.

    Then i started playing it again recently because people kept complaining about how OP it is and i have to admit, it is, i have singlehandedly killed more than half of the enemy team multiple times.

    My KD is almost 7-1 and counting. I literally still have an 80% winrate after something like 200 matches I donβ€˜t think a single plane could beat me in a dogfight, iβ€˜ve been chased by 5 or more people at once before, just to win the engagement after killing all of them. and iβ€˜m not even that skilled, iβ€˜d say iβ€˜m an average pilot, maybe an intermediate rocket plane enjoyer.

    Some people try to justify the BR by saying β€žmuh low ammo and fuelβ€œ but thatβ€˜s just entirely wrong, 2 bullets can be enough to rip someones wing apart or to set them on fire and i can make one fuel load last an entire match.

    That being said, i will not stop playing it, it is honestly too fun to ignore, sorry in advance to anyone playing 5.7-7.7

    I feel bad

    I’ve been playing this game since Before a it seems. I barely have a get tier 4 planes. I fly realistic mostly but I do like an arcade battle from time to time. I’m levers 51 still. I’m see many level 100’s and I’m like WTF. I’m an older gamer so I sound my time to n other games or other activities. I guess it’s the journey that counts not where you are at. I love flying. I live the game as long as the bonehead problems are minimal. But at the end it just a game. Am I alone or are their others.

    How to play the Object 120

    I’ve bought the Object 120 about a year ago, and now I want to play it since I only have one other tank in the br tier. What’s the best playstyle and ammo to bring?

    Ammo racks changes?

    So I can't find any patch notes on this so if anybody has any info on these changes let me know because I am baffled. Warthunder wiki used to have stats of ammo rack stages and the optimal number of rounds to take. Now that's gone, first stage ammo racks numbers have gone up by a lot and x-ray view shows a completely different number than before for first stage ammo racks. So now you're not as survivable and you spend more silver buying more ammo.

    CAS in top tier

    Cas in top tier has to be address, its not normal that every game america or russia has like 3-5 planes on their side flying at the same time bombing people from like 5 km away with no counter play

    Gaijin has to get plane cost to 1000-1300 sp and the team should be only to spawn 2 max 3 at the same time, it doesnt make any sense to have this system and less when playing antiair is not rewarded enough

    it shouldnt be possible that someone takes a htsvl scouts 3 persons and spawns in a f16c with full load thats wrong and has to be addressed

    There is ZERO reason that the GE cost for these event tasks should not be scalable. I now have to spend the full GE cost to complete this task despite completing more than 80% of it.

    Gifted vehicle accepted via steam into library but not accessible in game unless bought again.

    Received a gifted F-5C via steam and it says its in my library but when in the game it still says I have to order the pack. It was the right version for steam I've checked but when you click on the game in the library and it says there's new DLC and will be installed with the game. Do I have to reinstall the game to get this to work? I've restarted and relogged in to steam and War Thunder already.
