Starting to get into the realms of kv tanks, scary. :eek:

The engine seems to have a few issues in regards to pop-in, some maps when you go around a corner you can see everything drawing in. Also had issues with people hiding behind things with parts of their tank visible, its like the game engine doesn't know if they're fully behind something or not and you can see the tank appear and vanish.

The graphics engine does all kinds of weird **** Gerard, no idea why most of the time but stuff like the invisible rocks annoys me more than spotting enemy tanks!

I always though enemy vehicles were supposed to be displayed 100% of the time but now you come to mention it I've had the same thing, must be a weird way it saves rendering power or something.

Its like hidden surface removal, if you can't see it the engine doesn't render it. In some areas of the game its badly bugged depending on what tanks are hiding behind. I came around the corner and the Normandy map and literally a whole street drew itself in.

What graphics card are you running? Got the latest drivers installed? (I am lazy when it comes to updating drivers... could be worth checking)

I've seen a few bugs here and there, but nothing I'd really call significant.

You're cheating to help improve your score? Oh sorry, I hadn't noticed... /troll

On a better note, it seems the Soviet 6.7 BR has received a stealth adjustment - especially the IS2's! They now come with armour plating, rather than papier mache. Meaning I've actually survived some entire matches in an IS2, without dying at every incoming shell. :D

I don't expect them to bounce everything (no Russian bias comrade!) as their priority is Firepower > Maneouverability > Armour, but they actually seem to act like tanks now. While everyone else still trundles round in Tiger 2's, and gets surprised when they get one in the side of the turret... pop!

oh my oh my, you do not know how happy that makes me. I love my IS-2 but have given up on it of late as it was getting one shotted by everything.
 
Had some fun last night, went flying down a hill, hit some rocks and rolled my Tank onto its top. Cue the benny hill theme as 2 tanks and a tank destroyer tried to right me and took about 2 minutes of pushing and shoving ( :eek: ) to do it.:p

Was a 980 ti with the latest drivers.
 
Errr, Gaijin? I'm fairly sure that a Leopard 1 isn't supposed to be in a BR 6.7 match... right?

I mean, I know the Soviet tanks are sometimes suggested as being OP, but it does feel a *tiny* bit unfair, bringing a tank from 1944, up against a tank from 1965?!?!?!

Are we talking about this one?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopard_1

No idea they were in WT! They're all about firepower and maneuverability since standard armour was thought to be obsolete due to HEAT rounds. No wonder it went pop!

its only 7.7 br...

I presumed it would have been BR 8.0 with that gun...

They're all about the grind...

and the hopelessly over-compressed top tier of tanks, making for some stupidly retarded match-ups.

Anyways, SummerTime grindfest Madness has begun:

http://warthunder.com/en/news/3249-special-summertime-madness-en

As usual, it isn't very clear... but as far as I can tell, even if you complete all 20 of the challenges, there's no guarantee of you getting either the KV1 or the P63. You only get 'Madness trophies' - which we all know will be 90% rammed full of Silver Lions. :(

When did this change? :)

Not long ago, couple of patches back I think.

I was trying to grind my way towards the IS3, and got sick of getting smashed to bits so just decided to only do the 'grind' on my lunchbreaks at work, couple of slow paced games at a time. Then I started noticing that instead of dying at the merest sniff of a 88mm incoming, they were suddenly bouncing off! :D (sometimes... )

My precious....

Anyone around post 9pm tonight for some drunken WT? I'll be drunk by then!
 
Almost unlocked the Firefly thingy.

trying to match my BR on my line up's in my brit planes now, though I loathe putting the wellington's in there - they just get shot to crap everytime as they are verging on totally hopeless
 
This week I have been mostly Warshipping!
It's all Hellcat and Matt_FSR's faults, as they made me download it.

...AND ITS EPIC! Team spotted a Battle Ship roaming around an island I was close to in a battle last night, so I backed myself close to land and readied all of my St. Louise's guns on the edge of the peninsula.
He edges round the corner and gets a face full of 12 HE rounds from my cruisers broadside, which he can't return because he had his guns facing the other way!
He tries to turn to bring his guns to bare, but I ruin him in under a minute, with only 4 shots from him in return.

I'm a sneaky SOB when I want to be :D
 
yes the wellingtons suck bad.

the best brit bomber up to until lancaster is the blenhiem (with maxed out crew) i use this in every line up.

plus have a go with it in a relistic match is so funny taking out all of the other teams fighters. then just lazily bomb the targets.

warshipping? is that on WT or are we talking world of warships??
