Nope I'm with SarGara on this one, thats normal and not really an issue, you shouldnt be getting killed by that millisecond display lag unless you keep camping corners and people are looking for you.

I'd be getting used to it if i was you as the only other online tank game out there does actually have invisibility cloaks

Thats a mild example of it, i've had instances where almost half a tank is poking out from behind a house, i aim at it then it vanishes then starts to flicker as if the game engine is undecided if i should be able to see the target or not. Annoying though :(

fire anyway, youll still hit it, the spotting mechanic in this is far superior to anything else offered unless anyone can prove me wrong
 
Soon, comrade. :(

Supposedly in the next big patch, 1.53, was meant to have British tanks, but now I'm seeing comments on the official forum that it won't.

So it looks like my premium will run out before I get British tanks to unlock - oh well, won't be buying premium again.
 
I've been running non-prem for the past few months as I'm not getting value for money (couple of games here and there). I was hoping the Brits would give me an incentive to sink more time into it but I guess that wont be anytime soon :(
 
Be interesting to see how the british tanks perform, on the lower tiers they should be ok but that's about it. Firefly sherman is a certainty as well.

I'm not even sure that they'll do well at low tiers. Early tanks will almost certainly have the 2pdr (40mm) main gun, which only has solid-shot AP shells, and no HE shells at all.

Although it was a viable gun against early war tanks, in-game the solid shot mechanics don't give the same killing potential as APHE, so you're going to need to hit either vital spots precisely, or repeated hits until the enemy dies. If they introduce the Matilda II, this shouldn't be a problem. ;)

The British tree should really get the M3 Grant tank at BR 2.7, as we had them in North Africa, because our own tank industry couldn't produce anything capable of taking on Panzers effectively in time for that campaign.

Later British tanks were commonly armed with the 6pdr (57mm) gun, and Gaijin have already posted that the Churchill's 57mm main gun is going to struggle with penetration at range. So yea, thanks for that Gaijin. Bet we don't get the Churchill with the 95mm howitzer fitted either. :(

The Firefly should be devastating, but what's the bet that it'll have some retarded BR like 6.7 or 7.0? Ideally I'd like to see it at about 4.7, that would be nice. ;)

Tea anyone?
 
I just hope there's a decent counter at BR5.7 for the TigerH1 that litter that tier/rating. Im fed up having to play the Russian IS-1 to stand a chance at countering them, the Americans paper M18's don't cut it.
 
meh, stuff happens in the world, if they mentioned it next year people would get uptight.

On another note I see now every event is a paid entry, well thats me no longer air racing then.
 
oh and another dev QandA filled with utter rubbish

http://warthunder.com/en/devblog/current/816

to sum it up, new tanks will be premium, bombers will not be removed from arcade tank battles as they can only kill on average 0.8 tanks per flight ( I managed 6 in one run this evening) and all the valid questions on damage are 'pfffftttt, we watched youtube comrade'

Utter horse****

They do seem to love their premium stuff to say the least. Even camos, you'd think buy it once and it can be applied to all tanks but nope. Has to be got over and over for each tank you want to apply it to.


they could not be destroyed effectively even by bombs. Also we think that in the future we will make buildings around spawn zones non-destructible for obvious reasons


So tanks won't be able to attack but bombers can still spam it at will. :confused: Personally i think planes can **** right off, the kamikaze and bomber spam "tactics" are getting incredibly old. The only "variety" it adds is the cheapness in how people get kills.

We really need a tanks only mode and something that pits ww2 tanks against each other without having to add in more powerful tanks from post ww2 era. Nice to have the option at least.

tanks can still drive into the spawn, at least theyre making the point that a bunch of su152's wont just flatten all the buildings to make it nice and easy.

But they will, as it's been said in the dev blog that spawn protection wont be in the patch for 'a while'.
 
Runs great with my 980Ti's maxed out 1440p at a solid 144hz no dips. Seem to play better aswell and get more kills which has led me to enjoy the game even more and have been playing it quite a lot recently when ive had time to do so.

Damn gets hard once everyone else has 20mm and 40mm cannons with 7.7's 12mms aswell.
 
Question time!

When i first started playing (cant remember when) I was able to customise my KV2 so that all 4 decals made the tank appear Red by stretching/zooming them massively:

I tried to edit one of the decals but now its not letting me stretch/zoom the last one in the same way it was previously??
Why is it I can have a stretched/zoomed decal on a tank working perfectly but now cannot reapply the same thing. How do i get this back? :(
