I was just wondering how do you do that because I wanna create my own, and no, i am not doing custom skin.
I redeemed the latest twitch drops and not a single one has appeared and I don't know if its just gaijin/twitch or if it me doing something, because with previous twitch drops they would apper on my account with in 5 mins of redeeming the twitch drop
Okay, so this game was like every other game. Usually I use my bomber as my first plane because I'm usually better at fighting than bombing. (plus it's more fun) So I go to bomb the ground forces, right? I successfully bomb them, but a Yak-1 starts pursuing me and damages me a little bit. My gunner takes them down. Then, another pursues, gunner takes em down, then 2 MORE pursue me and he takes them BOTH down!
Personally mine is the 75 M4A2. Think it looks the coolest with its turret and welded hull
Downloaded Warthunder for PS5 yesterday. I put 4-5 hours into it and made it to level 2 fairly easily. Then, I started to get reemed. Am I understanding correctly that after you reach each level, you are automatically put into matches with people who are essentially at the end of the next level? Point being I don’t even have a plane unlocked for level 2, and it seems like you wouldn’t even get a chance to use them all since you level out of the first tier so quickly. Was I supposed to bank my research points or something? It’s like 7,500 points to unlock the first fighter plane. Otherwise I’m stuck with my rinky-dink Snoopy biplane and a wooden glide bomber. I see you can select certain maps and BR but do I still get points if I do that? I am sure the game is great when you understand the mechanics of the upgrade system but I need help. Thanks in advance.
I recently got a 75% discount on the HMS Diamond and I was thinking about buying it since it’s a couple of bucks anyway. So should I buy as a SL printer or is it total bs?
Every few games there will be one or multiple players that ruin my games performance whenever I get close or look at them. Even their destroyed tank will continue to do this. It's not map specific and it's not triggered by huge crowds of players/destroyed tanks.
My game could run 100+fps easily before this bug but was capped to 60 and basically never dropped below that. Now it still runs at 60 but the second I come across one of those weird players it dips to 10-40 fps while stuttering.
This has been happening since they switched to Battleye 2 months ago and got slightly better over time as more people got the new AC.
My theory is that because I was one of the first to get the new AC my game somehow had to cope with both Battleye and EAC at the same time. This happens a lot more at high tiers where more old players play that likely still had EAC. At low tier all new players have BE as their first and only AC so it doesn't overlap.
This is not hardware related. All drivers up to date and always have been. I made no changes to the graphics settings. This has been ruining the game for 2 months now and has started over night without me making any changes.
Did anyone encounter something similar or know of a fix?
they rarely if ever work while i’m in the test drive
(This is me just ranting, so please don't give me too much hate) (Not sure if I'm using the right flair)
Got a couple of friends to play War Thunder which well you know what happened afterwards…
I love Ground Forces, been playing since 2014. Had friends who wanted to try out War Thunder because they think tanks are pretty cool so I got them to download the game and do the tutorial for ground forces then try out an actual match.
After a couple of days, they all left me to play air battles instead... The reasoning - "I don't know where to shoot the tanks" "Why am I so weak" "Why can't I take shots while the enemy deflects 10+ of my rounds", "I'm too slow". “Why am I getting one-shotted”, “My gun doesn't do any damage to the enemy”, I'm always getting bombed”, and “Can I level up my ground forces tech tree while playing air battles?”
I try my best to explain how their tanks work, where to shoot the enemy with what rounds are best to use for each situation. While also explaining they need to utilize the strengths of their vehicles. But they all flocked to air battles because they say it's easier and more fast-paced. Then leaving the game entirely after that. One of them even bought the premium King Tiger on day 1!
I thought that the b
I need tips on how to get gud😭 i need to know how to angle my tank better how to evade a swarm of planes when 4 mfs decide they wanna tickle my butthole😭😭 an what rounds to use what vehicles to avoid and which ones to run towards etc any wisdom is appreciated I main Russia cause I started USA and idk if it was just bad on my part or the vehicles I was using but I literally struggled to get a single kill no matter if it was tanks planes or ships I play arcade all modes but usually only tanks or planes cause naval seems to be pretty dead but I’m almost into tier 4 tanks and on aircraft’s I’m half way done researching my first tier 4 plane
Some of the top tier vehicles have a modification for mine protection, but we don’t have land mines, and I don’t think the naval mines quite have the same effect. I know there’s anti personal butterfly mines you can drop from aircraft, or there’s the thing they did in Battlefield 5 where you drop normal disk mines which never quite made sense. There’s tanks designed for explicitly carrying mines but we currently have none of those. It might make sense if now that we have deployable munition boxes to be able to set them ourselves but, I feel like that just leads to cheap and toxic gameplay.
- trapshot now makes shell dissapear
- APCR got worse
- volumetric got 500% more absorbing
- planes can now make shots from AA ricochet
- heat being absorbed by .... ?!
- radar locking into just air
- engine/transmission being shot but tank can continue straight ?
-....
wtf is going on ? i made a 120 APCBC shell disapear into 2mm metal plates so many times....
^^
I cant find what I did wrong, I always stayed below 60m height while not being too low, you have to multipath AND notch now ?
I wonder if people think like me i find it that War thunder after 7.0 is not as much fun and more of a piont and shoot kind of game. I prefer to take my tigers out and play lower BR !
I’m fairly new to war-thunder, I’ve had it for about a year but played on and off because I wasn’t too interested at first but within the last month I’ve been hooked and enjoy playing. I main USA so fair and switch between Germany and Russia time to time, I’m looking for help with positioning I can get maybe a kill and an assist in air RB (rank 4) but always die shortly after due to bad positioning after an engagement, any tips or pointers?
I played 3 games of the Leopard A1A1 to unlock the "Tempest" camo but it still has the locked icon, so I'm wondering how I'm supposed to get this? Does it get added to my account after the event ends or something?
As soon as GAIJIN launched the AMX A-1A premium in the Italian tree, I bought it with the intention of researching the Gripen, but a month later the geniuses at Gaijin destroyed its BR, making it much more difficult and boring to research the Italian tree with it.
Today, which nation offers, in your opinion, the best premium vehicle to quickly reach the Gripen?
I FINALLY RECORDED THESE FUCKING STUTTERS, THESE HAPPEN AT RANDOM TIME AND ITS SO GOD DAMN ANNOYING.
you cant see it but im spamming my bino key and my shift key to try and fix it but nothing works, it chooses when it starts and ends and it has gotten me killed countless times
FIX. YOUR. GAME.
How come I am rank 5 yet I am being put up with top tier rank sixes?
