Last patch edit 1.33, economy kinda fixed even more!, come back! We have a steam group, Clicky Thinking of playing? Use this referral link (Link) so Karabiner98Kurz gets some of the gold back he paid making the clan The wing, the wing, the wing is on fire, we don't need no logic let the motherfucker burn, burn motherfucker, burn. https://www.warthunder.com/ War Thunder is (currently) a game about buzzsawing pubbies in Zero’s, (eventually) camping bushes with mobile AA and torpedoing battleships in patrol boat wolfpacks. War Thunder is a very pretty game. War Thunder is a very tense game. War Thunder is a very angry game. Currently in “Open Beta” this is World Of X’s main competitor made by Gaijin Entertainment. Currently blowing World Of Warplanes out of the water on many levels with its aviation section, mainly with its intuitive mouse and keyboard controls, amazing damage model and mind blowing graphics (which are also quite well optimised). Their also planning on taking this rivalry to the consoles with War Thunder being a ps4 launch title. The game consists of three main modes, with offline and coop missions mixed in and eventually clan tournaments and other such fun things Gaijin has yet to gently caress up. Arcade Battles: The basic mode of the game, you get to take as many planes in as you have slots for, guns and bombs reload after a set time and the countries are mixed together like in World of Tanks, a very forgiving flight model and damage model in this mode, hence its name. Best played with KB+M, joystick users get raped. Historic Battles: You're only allowed one plane per game and teams are divided by country. The damage model is also made more real, small bursts really gently caress up planes now no matter the ammo and your lead indicator is removed, diving with your flaps out can rip off your wings and the flight model is made more realistic, ammo and fuel also come into account as you can only reload if you land at your base, the upside is x3 the exp you would get in arcade. Full Real Battles: Full HOTAS territory, full damage and flight model, cockpit view only, no radar or name’s above planes, as real as it gets! Countries P39’s with massive cannons, B17’s with lots of turrets and bombs (for 190’s to shoot down), good mix of planes with mainly machine guns and good armour, the basic all rounder nation. Future Tree 109’s, Stuka dive bombers and 190’s dominates historical mode, a little lovely upto tier 6 where you get the first 109 and then from there its pretty fun. Future Tree Russia OP bullshit according to a few goons, the Mig 15 is currently the best jet in the game, good starting country. Future Tree Lightly armoured and with mostly only machine guns at low tier, turn fighters almost as good as the Japanese, their Beaufighter’s are fun as hell at most tiers and Spitfires are Spitfires. Future Tree Made of ricepaper but they pretty much pull handbrake turns in the sky, great turn fighters, just don't get shot. The A6M2-N currently dominates low tier and the H6K is a slow moving turret of doom. Future Tree THE FUTURE Eventually Gayjin are going to add in tanks and ships into the game, tanks is stated to be the next in line, planning to coincide with the ps4 launch with boats about a year away, there are some ‘leaked’ tank tech tree’s that popped up a while back that gaijin have said were actually fan made, so take these with a pinch of salt. Tired of playing on your own? This is what happens when you play with goons. AhrimanPK posted:Why we Mumble Part 2 : The Goons Strike!

Noobs guide for happy War Thundering For this new thread I thought I'd put together a little guide featuring answers to some of the more common questions I'm asked by War Thunder noobs. As the game doesn't have a manual even some pretty simple operations can leave new players scratching their heads. Reseaching new aircraft (1.37 Update) War Thunder's progression system is now divided into 5 Tiers, from pre-war/early war aircraft in Tier 1, to jets in Tier 5. Each Tier will be unlocked once you have researched 4 aircraft in the previous one, but be aware if you're cherry picking that you will have to unlock and buy every aircraft in a particular tree below any plane you are really interested in. Research goes most efficiently when flying planes from the same tier, is a little less effective when using the tiers on either side, and gives much less RP when using planes more than one tier removed from the plane you are researching. You will be researching one aircraft at a time for each nation, all the vehicle RP that you earn in battles with that nation will go towards unlocking that one plane. Here you can see that I'm researching the FW 190 A-8 for Germany. I used this example there are actually 2 190's nested within the same place here, When there are multiple planes of the same basic model they are often lumped together like this to make the research tree less cluttered. You can see that I already have the other plane here, the 190 F-8, unlocked from before 1.37. Normally you will have to research and buy the previous plane in the tree to unlock the next one. The previous plane in the tree also has a bonus to RP when researching the next aircraft, although you can unlock aircraft by flying anything from that country. The plane I am researching has a Convert button on it, clicking this allows you to spend Golden Eagles (real money!) to convert "Free" RP, that you get from every battle and is put into a pool, to finish or speed up the research on any particular plane. We generally regard this as being bad value for money. Hey look, I finished! The game immediately asks if you want to buy the new plane and what you want to research next. Any excess RP will be put into this new research project, if you don't pick anything this RP disappears. Don't worry, you can change what aircraft you are researching and can keep RP banked towards the research of multiple planes from every nation. When you buy the plane the game then asks you if you want to put it in a crew slot, I hope that you saved up enough lions to actually fly your new plane! Modifications Modifications are researched in much the same way as planes. Every plane you own will have a modification in research, when you buy the plane the game automatically picks the first one, usually Airframe Repair, and like planes they are arranged by Tier. You have to research at least 2 mods in a tier before progressing to the next one, but you can ignore some of the less important mods if you want to beeline for the engine and cannon belt upgrades that will make your plane more killy! It is definitely worth filling out all the tiers though, even if you never intend to put bombs on your 109, as when you complete a tier of mods you get bonus RP towards whichever plane you are researching for that nation, dependant to the RP cost of parts in that tier. Here you can see that I've almost finished researching everything for my FW 190 A-5, and am currently working on new 20mm cannons for one of the two different types of 20mm on this plane If you want to change what you're researching just click on the part you want and then click the Research button, this will make this the recipient of your modification research RP for this plane. You can also spend gold to unlock mods, don't do this! If you finish researching a mod during a battle then the game will ask you if you want to buy the part and select a new mod to research. As with planes any RP you have in excess of what you needed for the part can be assigned to a new project, often a good game in an aircraft will lead to you researching multiple parts. The game is prompting me to repair my Spitfire F. Mk IX here because you cannot install new mods on a damaged aircraft, looks like I'm going to have to drop 11 lions on filling in a bullet hole before I can get my nice new cover. Shell racks The UI has changed since I compiled this so it will look different in game, the ammo racks are now selected by a drop down menu near the top of the modifications tab, and all ammo racks for a particular gun are unlocked by one mod, but all the infomation is still useful. Any plane with pilot controlled guns can have different shell racks installed once you have enough XP on the plane. Let's use my Spitfire Mk. II as an example Selecting a shell rack will show you in detail the order in which the rounds come out when you fire the gun, and also contains a little glossary explaining what each of the shell types does. The default machine gun loadout for the Spitfire is Tracer/Armor piercing/Armor piercing incendiary/Ball/Ball/Incendiary. Ball ammo is just a lump of lead, you don't want to be firing these. Luckily the first new rack you unlock is Omni-purpose. Firstly this sequence is only 5 long rather than 6, so you get a tracer round slightly more often. More importantly the ball ammo is gone, meaning that 3/5 shots are now armor piercing, as opposed to 2/6 with the default rack. Omni, as the name implies, is usually a good all round ammo loadout. Next up is the Incendiary Tracer rack, As the name implies, except for the 1/6 rounds that is AP-I on this plane, this is a tracer heavy loadout. The fact that all of the rounds are incendiary means you're more likely to set a plane on fire, but the lack of AP means you're less likely to get critical hits on components. It's also very obvious that you're firing on someone, and from where you're firing, because of all the tracer, although this should also make it easier for you to adjust you fire. This type of rack is particularly amusing on the Chaika, Ishak and other low tier Soviet planes as the high fire rate makes you feel like you're firing lasers, which makes it very popular with pubbies. The final rack for the machine guns is Stealth. Stealth is the exact opposite of the IT rack, there are no tracers at all. The plane you're attacking won't know you're firing on it until you start landing hits, and even then will probably spend crucial moments realising its stealth ammo hitting them and avoid, or not avoid at all thinking it's AA fire. Obviously this ammo rack rewards good shooting and a good grasp of the ballistic properties of your guns. Moving on to the cannons, here is the default loadout for the 20mm, As you can see the default rack has something called a Practice shell in it. This is an inert projectile, the equivalent of the ball for the machine guns, and like ball you want to get rid of it as soon as possible. Most of your killing will be done by the HEF-I. Once you unlock the Omni rack you get this, The practice shell is replaced by an AP and you get an even longer acronym, HEF-SAPI, nice. A lot of people stick with this selection even if they’ve unlocked all the other racks. Next up is the Ground shell rack, This gives you lots of AP rounds, theoretically to make it easier to pop ground targets, they’ll also go straight through enemy aircraft, often not actually hitting anything important. Then there’s Increased Tracer, This gives you an interesting mix of HEF-I and AP but is rather let down by the tracer, it would be much better if it was an API-T for instance but this is what you get. Finally Stealth, This is basically Omni but with the tracer replaced by another HEF-I. Obviously this is more deadly and a good choice if you trust in your ability to shoot without the aid of tracer. Other countries have different cannon shells, including the fearsome German Minengeschoss, if you have any questions about what racks Goons are currently favouring feel free to ask in the thread or Get in Mumble! More to come! Az made an effort post about the different shells and recommended shell racks, az posted:az' guide to ammo Thief's post about what nation to fly first Thief posted:

The other main thing I would say to people who just start playing: When you first start out, you'll usually be in old, WW1 style biplanes. They turn like magic, and when you're in low tier games everything is very intuitive and easy. Many players (myself included) will hit a wall once they get up a few ranks and the planes suddenly stop going exactly where you point them instantly, and some nations start getting away from turn fighting. This is normal! It will take you a little while to adapt to the "new" style, but once you've got it down, there won't really be any more huge curveballs coming your way. Just don't give up because suddenly everything feels different and you don't know why you went from getting 12 kills a game to 2 kills a game for awhile.

Start out with Russia as your first nation in order to get the special I-153 as well as the standard one. Pretty much every other nation's biplanes/monoplanes are going to be bowing at your 4 gun feet for a while. The Russian reserves also all have 4 guns which goes a long way towards giving you a giant boost out of the gate. The lower level Russian fighters aren't anything to scoff at (they give the earliest chance to get cannon besides the terminally slow A6M2) either since they can pack a rocket filled punch. edit: Russia also gets the benefit of being the love of the developers; they usually get far better prices and hilarious attributes.

Elendil004 posted:So with the bomb sight, if im at an odd angle, and drop a bomb, will it fall on the direction indicator, or the crosshairs, or somewhere in between? Dont drop bombs at an odd angle, but yes, the bomb target takes your planes speed/angle/pitch/etc into account. Basically all the bomb target does is take your planes relative velocity into account, whether your turned 90 degrees or leveled out your plane is still only flying in a single direction, and the reticule is basically an indicator of your current forward travel.

Could you edit in the tweak to bind different guns to different keys? With cannons and machine guns having different velocities and drop rates, keeping the two separate not only conserves ammo, but can make you more accurate.

Look at the repair costs. Some of them are cheaper to fly and have a slightly smaller payload. The weight doesnt matter in arcade because you can drop your bombs at the start of every match and climb. The payload makes them excellent at bombing out the enemy airfield. Their turrets arent anything special, you get lucky kills sometimes, but you arent really that durable.

TskMgr posted:Dont drop bombs at an odd angle, but yes, the bomb target takes your planes speed/angle/pitch/etc into account. My pic of this has been linked in the op. Its now in the second post I think. In any mode other than bombsight mode, your bombs will fall into the center of yellow crosshairs (theoretically). If you aren't at a good angle, the crosshairs will separate a bit showing you the probable scatter area. In bombsight mode, if you are straight and level, the bombs will fall directly into the bigass crosshairs center of the screen. gently caress knows where they will go if you are pitching and rolling all over the place - bombsight view doesn't take that into account. The direction indicator relates only to the artificial horizon. It has nothing whatsoever to do with any kind of bombsight. It shows the plane's current direction of travel relative to the artificial horizon. If you are looking at bombsight view, there are two separate things on the screen at once. There is the bombsight with the big croashairs that looks down and forward, and there is the artificial horizon which shows the plane's current orientation and direction of travel, and in a level bomber will be "looking" directly forward as you bomb. So if you think the direction indicator in bombsight view is anything to do with your bombsight, you will be bombing a fuckload of empty fields and ocean. Unrelated: in the op, "repair rank" should read "for this crew to repair a plane over time, for free, in the hangar, repair rank mist be greater than or equal to plane rank" rather than saying we don't know.

The Yer-2 has the game's most retarded bombload. With several 500kg and 1000kg bombs, you can sink most of the enemy fleet on Two Towns with a single reload, and any of one your bombs will kill a destroyer even if you don't hit it perfectly. The final 2 versions even have a 20mm cannon turret, which is occasionally hilarious when it one-shots expensive fighters from >1km out. Gunners are still loving weird though so don't count on it happening much, but it used to be stupidly deadly. It's pretty tough for a bomber, too. I ground out the pylons on mine by flying it like an attacker with the smaller bombs, and sniping pillboxes and ships, while are both worth lots of XP. Once I got the 1000kg bombs, I switched back to level bombing and cleaned up. But with bombers being as hosed as they are now, it might not be worth doing it that way.

You start missions in the air and if you need to resupply its because you dropped what would be 2 bombloads of a different nation.

I'm still kinda shocked at how much singleplayer/co-op content the game has. It seems to contain everything from Wings Of Prey + Expansion, plus a ton of new stuff like dynamic campaigns. You also get a few hundred Golden Eagles if you own the aformentioned earlier games in the series. It looks like there's a bunch of pacific-theater stuff available in-game for those of sufficient rank in their respective nations. What exactly does the Campaigns Bundle give beyond the funbux and two planes? Dominic White fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Jul 7, 2013 |

Both campaigns have three difficulty level - Arcade, History and Realism. cinci zoo sniper fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Jul 7, 2013 |

Dominic White posted:I'm still kinda shocked at how much singleplayer/co-op content the game has. It seems to contain everything from Wings Of Prey + Expansion, plus a ton of new stuff like dynamic campaigns.

The month of premium, eagles and planes more than make up the full price of the pack. The campaigns seem almost like a bonus on top. Party Plane Jones posted:Wait, what? If you put your activation codes from Wings Of Prey and Wings Of Luftwaffe (I bought both on Steam) into your Gaijin account, you get 500 and 300 Eagles respectively. All the campaign content from both of those seem to be in here now. Dominic White fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Jul 7, 2013 |
