    Reducing the static from Ground RB crew lines is a much needed change

    I remember a recent update increased the static/metallic aspects and muffled the voices into oblivion.

    So it looks like they finally went the opposite direction and put an emphasis on clarity.

    I find this necessary since sometimes I need to rangefind rapidly and don’t have time for the crew to calculate. So having a much clearer range estimate callout is much appreciated.

    wtf is this?

    i've been getting this bug since the new update dropped, it happens only on war thunder but once it starts it affects the whole OS. no one else in the matches seems to be getting this. my gpu is an rx6650xt that has never given me issues, all the other specs are far above recommendations.

    also ATTACK THE P POINT!

    My br change proposition for top tier ground (USA, ITALY, RUSSIA):

    KA-50: 11.0 -> 11.7

    KA-52: 11.7-> 12.7

    Pantsir S1: 11.7 -> 12.3

    2S6: 10.7-> 11.3

    Khrisantema: 9.7 -> 10.3

    OTOMATIC: 11.3 -> 10.3

    ADATS: 11.7 -> 11.0

    I have all tanks, planes and aviation in USSR, USA and Italy, after playing for 3k hours these changes seem reasonable to me, what y'all think?

    Anybody else getting lagbooted a lot?

    Lately, specifically the past week, I've been having my internet crash mid match. I play the American tech tree at 12.0 with the AV8B+, and every time I get a CAS kill or hunt down a pesky heli, I occassionally get a rage message and get disconnected from the server, and my internet shits out for an hour. It always happens during a winning match where I'm nearing 8-10 kills. You guys think this could be DDOSing?

    The problem with heatFS

    Personally I feel like the argument that HEATFS is bad because you need to aim well on WW2 vehicles doesn't apply, for example you have a jagdtiger, the jagdtiger is the heaviest WW2 tank say for the e-100 and the maus, this is because of its armor which is able to take about any non chemical round to the face and laugh, but the main thing hindering it and causing it to be slow clunky and have no turret suddenly becomes useless when Jared in his AUBL outmaneuvers your gun and gets behind you for an easy kill just because he can reload so fast with a precise guarantee of penetration. Or if he feels like being a sniper he can just sit behind a rock peek out and negate your multi ton plate of armor and hit your armor or your gunner leaving you dead or crippled for him to pelt you with more HEATFS shells to finish the kill. Not to mention the sheer pain you feel when getting a good position taking out the mg ports of American tanks left and right and oh look at that is that a Scorpion decides he really doesn't care about your armor and one shots your turret face killing everyone in the turret breaking the breach and horizontal turret drive and maybe even hitting the ammo. Gaijin really needs to fix this issue. Because if a light tank doesn't have to worry about where to shoot a heavy tank what's the point of even having the heavy to begin with.

    Hey, what's the low tier teeny tiny open top TD? ~3.3ish battles

    I think it's blue but I can't find it in the french tech tree. It's not the lorain 37, at least I don't think so.

    It's smaller than a car and I see it ~3.3 sometimes.

    New radar altitude not in browser map

    With the new update, radar altitude has been added to the HUD to every aircraft. However, the browser map (localhost:8111) doesn't seem to have a value for this radar altitude, as it only has the radio altitude only available on jets with radars. Is this an oversight?

    Good Planes for Starting Air Sim?

    Recently I've been getting into the more flight-sim aspects of the game, and after spending a few hours watching tutorials and messing around in test drive, I think I'm ready for real matches. Any planes yall can recommend? I've got france air (don't ask) grinded to rank III, and China to rank IV, and like low rank II in most of the other TT's before I got bored. Keep in mind I'm not the best air player; I usually average 1 kill and a few AI ground targets in RB

    I can’t play war thunder

    I can’t play war thunder every time I get into a match and start playing after a few minutes the textures break and stretch across the game breaking the whole thing to where I can’t see nothing, then when I tab out my whole computer is fucked and I have to restart it, I don’t have a really bad pc (it’s good but not the best) and I have the game on pretty low settings. I cannot figure out what’s wrong with it I really want to play, can anyone help? I have only really played in air battles and I haven’t tried much of the other modes but I will do that soon, I really want to play please help, Edit: this does happen in the other modes too
