Wonderful, the launcher just emergency-updated itself or whatever during the game download, 1 hour down the drain. GOTY right there.

 .txt http://warthunder.com/en/news/639-War-Thunder-Nations-Japan-enhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9lfRhmhA_0 quote:Bushido, a modern term rather than a historical one, originates from the samurai moral values, most commonly stressing some combination of frugality, loyalty, martial arts mastery, and honor unto death. Born from Neo-Confucianism during times of peace in Tokugawa Japan and following Confucian texts, Bushido was also influenced by Shinto and Zen Buddhism, allowing the violent existence of the samurai to be tempered by wisdom and serenity. Bushido developed between the 16th and 20th centuries, debated by pundits who believed they were building on a legacy dating from the 10th century, although some scholars have noted "the term bushido itself is rarely attested in premodern literature."

Is plane ammo selection just broken? It seems completely random as to wether it will let me use the ammo I select or not.

Sweet. Ki-27 "Nate" (also frequently, but mistakenly called "Abdul")! We really did need a few more low tier Japanese fighters Now if only they'd toss in that Ki-43 variant.

New PS4 player here. I was doing alright and then I bought a package that came with a plane and some gold. Which I used to buy another plane. Now, I'm getting mauled. Does the game place you into matches by your plane rating or your experience level?

Someone more familiar with arcade can explain it, but it's some equation where your battle ranking (shown in the plane's stat card) for matchmaking is the 3 highest BRs in your lineup, averaged.

Doesn't that mean you can put your best plane/tank in one slot and then just put reserves in the rest, putting you in matches way below your BR?

For example: taking 3 BR 4.0 vehicles into a CA match, your matchmaking BR is 4.0. Taking 2x3.0 and 1x4.0, your matchmaking BR is 3.3. It works exactly how they say it does, and I'm not sure why there's still confusion over it. See Mr Darcy's post. Heliosicle fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Jun 5, 2014 |

Sherman BR raised to 3.7, no other changes noted. Bizarrely, the SU-122P also got bumped up in BR like a whole point, for reasons I don't quite understand. Also Tiger -> 4.7 rather than 5, so T-35-57's will see them.

Heliosicle posted:The maximum range that has an effect is 1 BR, which means unless you really like a plane, its pointless to take something less than 1 BR below your highest if you want to game the system. It averages your 3 highest BR's and then rounds up or down to the nearest BR tier (3.5 rounds to 3.3 rather than 3.7 apparently That's not how they say it works though. In your example the overall BR would be 3.7. If the BR between your highest ranked vehicle and the 2nd/3rd highest ranked ones then they use (highest BR)-0.6 for the 2nd/3rd ratings. The calcs are: TotalBR = (BR1+(BR2+BR3)/2)/2 So in your example: tBR = (4+(3.4+3.4)/2)/2 tBR = (4+(6.8/2)/2 tBR = (4+3.4)/2 tBR = 7.4/2 tBR = 3.7

What the gently caress is it with pubbie teams always wasting themselves on bot wellington tail gunners? We had a match in the bag with most of our team vs two bot wellingtons and a Kingcobra, all our pubbies died to Ryo's tail gunner and the Kingcobra mopped up all the other ones who were rearming on a carrier. I ended up dying to AAA after I chased the Kingcobra all the way back to his base in my Hien after I was the only one left.

YellerBill posted:What the gently caress is it with Japanese teams really went downhill when they added the Sabre. Idiots see it as the easiest way to get a cool jet and flock to Japan despite having no clue how to fly their planes. Sometimes you'll get a decent team, sometimes you'll get one that's even more retarded than your average American team.

For those that were complaining about being Lion-poor: http://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/137338-br-price-changes-in-141/ They are reducing repair costs across the board. Some are REALLY significant, like the cannon Bearcat going from 28k lions to 9550 in Realistic.

Thief posted:Except that is quite literally confirmation bias. Are the planes more agile now because I stopped getting hit today? Actually that is quite literally not what confirmation bias is. Even if it was, my question was rhetorical. Confirmation bias is when you ignore information that conflicts with your beliefs in favor of those that support it. E.g. Someone told me they buffed the Tiger. It's true, I've been bouncing way more shots than before!. And even then, that's not necessarily confirmation bias if the pattern that the person is observing is actually true (although their conclusion would still be incorrect). All I'm doing is recognizing an anomalous pattern without any kind of prior belief (and yes, it is possible for patterns to emerge that are not imagined). Sheesh. e: VVVV

Doesn't destroying the cannon breech on a tank prevent it from firing? I just got killed by an F2 I thought was harmless because my first shot knocked his breech out.

Sometimes the game tells you a module is dead, but it isn't really. I've been killed under similar circumstances. I've also had the game tell me 'Yo your transmission is shot' and kept on driving with no problems whatsoever.

I think breech means they can't reload, so if there's a round in the chamber before they fire it, they can still use it. Canon barrel prevents them from firing, but not reloading.

Does anyone else experience the notifications for what you've broken on enemy tanks being just plain wrong? I'll often get notifications that I'm seriously breaking all their stuff like completely blacked out vertical and horizontal turret drive but then I'll see the turret moving to track me. Other times I'll get a yellow track damage notification but their track is visibly snapped and they are unable to turn towards me.
