Do I need to be playing as Germany for the points to go towards the Me 262 or can I play any country?

I was hoping to get the F-4s but it didn’t went on sale on Xbox, should I get the f-20 instead?

I was playing air arcade and accidentally slammed into an enemy which means we were both supposed to be registered as dying in an air collision which means you don't get crew locked. But instead i got a crew lock for the plane i crashed in, I don't why but I had a crew lock. If an air collision would mean that both players would be registered as killing each other bugs like this wouldn't happen.

We all have our complaints and wishes for the game, but why not talk about why we play the game and what makes it fun for a change?

I'll start. First picked up the game in 2017, at the time I was playing a decent amount of WOT, the prospect of playing modern vehicles (in particular the t64a with composite armour!) was too hard to resist! Got to the top tier Soviet combo back then (t64a and mig15) and took a years long hiatus to focus on life and work, came back earlier this year as my friends have picked up the game as well.

Now I'm having a ton of fun playing with friends - we're always changing BRs as different people want to grind different things, but working together, revenge bombing for a friend made for some great fun moments.

The game is also in a good spot in my opinion balance wise, top tier ground rb is fun again with less CAS and fox3 action, multiple BR bands are fun for different reasons in air RB.

I also quite like the overall state of premium account and premium vehicles. I'll admit I'm privileged to work a good job in a developed economy, but compared to most F2P games out there I find buying one premium every second month or so to be good on the wallet for the amount of hours of entertainment I get.

Anyone else having server issues? I'm 5+ mins waiting in a lobby of 20+ for AAB at 8.0. Wondering if it's my rig or not

Compared to the previous season and what it offers, both copypasta vehicles and a random low tier tank, it is just ridiculously hard for what it is.

Some tasks are not "hard" in that they require too much skills to do, but are extremely grindy. The tasks ridiculously range from extremely easy (such as mission #3) and outrageously difficult (mission #13)

Mission #1 - Get 250 assists

Mission #2 - Get 25 battles with 70% activity in German vehicles

Mission #3 - Kill 100 ground targets in air AB/RB

Mission #4 - Set players on fire 80 times

Mission #5 - Destroy 5 players using an aerial bomb weighing less than 120 kg

Mission #6 - Get 3 kills in a row on a bomber 5 times

Mission #7 - Deal 20000 damage using a bluewater ship

Mission #8 - Get 20000 mission points using a season vehicle

Mission #9 - Destroy 15 vehicles of another type of military branch (15 kills in a plane against ship/tank, 15 kills in a tank/ship against air)

Mission #10 - Destroy 10 players using aerial ATGM

Mission #11 - Get "intelligence" 15 times

Mission #12 - Win 30 missions destroying at least 3 enemies

Mission #13 - Play 15 missions being #1 in a team

Mission #14 - Play 3 missions, destroy at least 1 ship/tank + capture point + a plane

Tasks I think are hard:

Mission #1 - Get 250 assists is very easy, especially if you play naval but that is like average 5 assists for every 20 minutes of battle.

Mission #5 - How the hell do you do that? You will literally need to bomb people in an airfield in air AB, a task rare enough already. The planes carrying such small bombs also tend to be trash (except the F-84).

Mission #6 - For someone who doesn't play the PE-8 in ground RB, this is moderately hard. Well glad I have the Swedish bombers (which are very well armed), the B7A2 (Thanks god it's classified as a bomber!!) and the British "light bomber" with 4x 20mm.

Mission #9 - Very grindy for the plane period since I do not have ATGM armed helicopters, nor do I know how to play CAS (primarily pure tank/pure air player).

Mission #10 - Stupid. The only choices I have are F-100D and F-16AJ. Oh well I guess I'll just play ground AB and wait to use the helicopters.

Mission #11 - Lol how the hell do you get this? I'm not too sure if it's difficult or not, but I have plenty of high tier light tanks ready for this task.

Mission #12 - Very grindy, though very easy (air AB).

Mission #13 - Going #1 isn't very rare for me, but it is extremely grindy and flat out impossible for a lot of people.

Mission #14 - This forces you to play the Coastal boats. Not just any coastal boats, but very specific ones, you basically have to have two boats. One fast enough to capture a point, another one that is steady enough with powerful AA/armor to wait for planes to come, alternatively you can spawn a 3.0 to 4.0 plane (only tier that AA isn't crazy) and dogfight. Again, very specific. Fuck the air AB part of this mission. You have to have the game become airfield domination, a super fast plane to destroy the small amount of tanks in game (that has a powerful bomb), and a plane with good flight characteristics to land.

I'm sure I can finish this season, but even for someone like me with 15k battles on AB modes (which the tasks are designed for), they take a laughable amount of time to finish and relies a lot on external factors like whether the enemy team spawns a plane if at all.

They are also very specific and some tasks can only realistically be grinded by select few vehicles in game.

That's it. Nukes are dumb. Serve no purpose and are literally the most unrealistic aspect of the game. At least only have it in arcade.

Heads up. I just updated and I've played 4 entire games without WT crashing - not using the steam client. So something has been fixed. Fingers crossed

Turns out the f4s isnt even on sale :(

Hitting the same spot of the armor, bending it or penetrating it slowly which can cause it to a weak spot like those Tiger 2's upper slope in the museum i saw

Its so awful looking it looks like a fish and 9.3 so cool but T64A shitty little fish gills are so ugly

Problem while bombing in air sb. I know bomb door takes time and hence do not drop bombs but after inspection even with opened bomb doors im unable to bomb (space key). I usually stay at 500 m alt beacuse it has no sight for bomb. Anyone who can guess the problem?

Also im new to sb (bcuz of grinding bombers) any tips or good videos for beginners to fly fighters in sb?

Also a glich conformation. If i fully research an aircraft then it shows window to which aircraft to research next with remaining rp. But if i select aircraft and go to secondary weapons and go back, the window disappears and those rp remained are nowhere to be found. Is this true or im dumb to not research well?

Thank you

I’ve been playing console war thunder for a while now and noticed something that if you turn too much with the stick it will fly straight. I have seen it for a while but have not looked into it any. Was wondering if anyone else has seen this is knows if it can be fixed. Help is appreciated.

Click the dude in hangar and you can walk and run around.

My camera view does spin alot and i have to aim down all the time for it to settle.

It’s on sale so it’s a pretty good deal rn

I just started playing like a year ago and have mostly been an ARB player, just got my first top Tier country in France, and despite all the hate, I have been getting a ton of enjoyment out of top tier. If I’m not playing 13.7, I play 12.0 and I usually get a few kills and a base. I can play air all day and not get tired of it.

I started playing ground arcade 6 months ago or so just rarely as a way to break up the grind of air and it was fun to mix it up with some tank stuff occasionally.

Well now I’m at a point where I kinda need to lock in a nation and get top tier ground done so I can play with my friends. So I used the sales to get a 10.3 lineup for USSR at the advice of a buddy who told me I couldn’t go wrong with Russia. I trust his advice, dude has 1000’s of games in GRB and has a 5 KD in basically every tank he’s played.

But I just don’t know what to do. I feel like 99% of the time I just turn a corner and get one shot or I camp a spot and wait just to get shot from behind, or the second I’ve stared at a place I think they are going to approach from for 5 minutes and decide to move, I get one shot from somewhere else.

All in all I’m just terrible, and the sales season is not helping. I’ve spent the last 3 days playing spawn simulator and getting CAS’d in spawn or insta killed and spawn trapped within 5 minutes of the game starting.

I feel like I’m in good vehicles but because I’m not 100% knowledgeable on every vehicle I face, I get one shot, meanwhile it took me 3 shots in a Turms to kill a Wolfpack from the side earlier.

My best stats are in light tanks and idk why. But when it comes to MBTs, I’m literally 3/25 in the TURMs right now. I have a .5KD in the IS6, and that’s just incredibly frustrating coming from ARB where I have a positive KD on everything I fly and a 3KD on some of my favorite stuff to fly.

The only time I’m good in ground, is arcade because it takes away so much of the need to know information and shares it with everyone.

So I’m just looking for tips to improve. I’m planning to get USSR and France to Top Tier. Help me not struggle and want to never play ground again.

Rn my 10.3 lineup is the 2S38, T-80UD, and T-72 TURMs. I have unlocked up to rank 4 so far in USSR.

how i can fix the error 30005 from easy anti cheat OMFG

When i went through a jumbo's mantlet i realized how good this tank is. Absolutely my favourite German tank

1.I am in rank V with the rakenautomat and people said I need a rank V to get access to the Maus on Halloween. 2. How do you change the range inside your turret without having to actually move your mouse up but I have tried to change the sense of the range thing on the top
