    Skill issue

    Can someone explain why do soviet planes (at least at lower tiers) have half an hour of turn time? Aren't they supposed to be good??? I was on one guy's 6, i shot him, ofc he doesn't die (yap for another time) and we start turning at the same second. Before i make 90 degrees, the same guy i shot is now on my six and takes me out with one round with no prior demage.

    Spawncamping - Why isn't more done?

    Hi all, So just a general open question really. Spawncamping is quite common in this game (especially in RB Ground) and a lot of the time this is because of poor map design. I don't understand why the snail hasn't done more about it? To be clear; I'm not talking about times when your team has captured all the caps on a map and have nothing left to do. That situation is completely justified and a normal part of gameplay. I'm referring to the times when your spawn is clearly visible from 3km away across the map and prevents your team from making any progress due to one or two players being able to shoot directly into it. So much of this can be avoided by better map design and larger "no-go" zones. I'd be interested in your thoughts!

    Returning to the game on PC. Looking for advice.

    Hello, I'm currently installing the game on PC, after having last played the game in 2017 on PlayStation. I have forgotten everything about playing the game, so I'm looking for pointers in getting started again. I only ever played arcade mode, and I'm only interested in the aerial combat side of the game. Originally, I only played as Great Britain, because I wanted to fly the legendary Spitfire, but this time I'd like to start as a different nation. Probably only considering USA, Germany or USSR. I will probably not go beyond 50s/60s.

    Which of those three nations would best suit someone starting from scratch, learning a new control scheme (KB/M instead of controller), and should I be looking at any of the starter packs

    War Thunder Mini map Data

    Hi all,

    Is there any way to get the minimap after playing a game that contains the name of the aircraft (example of what I am looking for below).

    Mini map with mock aircraft position data

    I am thinking about doing a data science project on map positioning in WT, which would greatly speed up the process.

    Thank you :)

    Am I the only one who has experienced GPU driver crashes since the latest major update?

    Ever since the new update my screen would occasionally freeze and start "blinking" with a text in the corner saying "graphics driver hung and was restarted". There isn't anything wrong with my GPU (I did a driver reinstall and dxdiag which said that everything was fine) and I gotta ask, is it only me or is it happening to other people too

    Jagdtiger and Tortoise at 6.7???

    Jagdtiger has better mobility, very much so. Jagdtiger has leagues better armor with an mg port weakspot that's really very hard to hit while tortoise has an okay armor profile with glaring weakspots nearly everywhere and if anyone with aphe looks at your humongous cupola wrong you are done for. Jagdtiger has better penetration and on top of that it gets HE filler!! How are the tanks at the same fucking br! Make it make sense someone.

    Hacking trouble figuring out the boom and zoom strategy

    I haver never played planes before, and started recently to grind the us tree, which acording to YouTube is mainly bnz fighter. In the vídeos It looked simple enougth, fligh higher, dive, shoot, but im having trouble making It work, i constantly lose Control mid dive and um not realy sure why, i tried doing some of the manouvers Ive sem but my pilot cant stand the g force and i cant figure out what o should be doing wrong. Curently using an a36 with no upgrades

    Edit: It should be "having" instead of "hacking" in the tittle but my phone's autocorrector doesnt understand english
