******Official War Thunder Thread*******

Went back to driving my Panther's around in RB last night. Completely wrecking it, refreshing change after driving around Brit tanks turning stuff into swiss cheese but with fewer kills. In a couple of machines 12+ kills to no deaths. In one match myself and a friendly in an M36 beat back the rest of the RU team (essentially protecting a point on the Normandy map) with 25 kills between us!
 
Rofl was I reading that aort of right

Was that a man-o-meter it should. If so that gets 10/10 from me for sheer awesomeness

LOL, thinks it was actually a sphygmomanometer - blood pressure gauge - which is bound to be high wheeling round in that! guessing it was maybe measuring something else, tyre pressure maybe?

it's definitely high on the man-o-meter charts....and only $50k, wonder if the wife will get me one for Christmas!
 
Anyone know where/how to report those using hacks?

any vids of said hacks? I've seen and heard plenty talk about WT hacks but I've yet to see concrete proof of any. even looking at the usual suspect sites, the vids they are chucking out to promote their hacks are laughable

Thought WT couldn't be hacked as such?

It's done server side not client side?

I may be proven wrong but I have yet to seem a bona fide working hack either in game or in video.

don't get me wrong, plenty of times I've thought 'the **** just happened there' or 'how in the good **** did he hit me from there'

but I think quite often a lot of things that sometimes may appear to be hacks are in fact just poor coding in the game.

e.g.

the old shooting through scenery,

scenario 1) I was sat in a tank facing off with an enemy. all I could see was the hatch on top of his main turret as he was behind a small hillock directly in front of me - all of a sudden I'm dead - replay shows him shooting me point blank! - hacks I hear you say. sorry no.

scenario 2 - roles reversed) I can clearly see a tank in front of me, I pop off a round they die and then go ape **** in chat calling hacks. I had one chap I did this to and rather than raging he actually took a couple of seconds out to type in chat what had just happened from his perspective. (and it was exactly what happened in scenario 1)

was funny at the start, now it's is just a rage inducing mechanic of the game that gaijin have no interest in fixing. gaijin could fix this - but they won't cause they are too busy trying to milk the life out of the cow. (for this reason I hope the game dies off into obscurity!)
 
Yup I've got two videos, one is 3GB in size. Another is a current replay from yesterday. I've seen exactly the same thing in both.

In my first video I drive into a cap zone not long after spawn and am immediately hit on the engine deck and one-shotted by a shell coming from above. Ok, maybe arty, right? Nope, no arty strike, a single shot. Furthermore the guy who hit me is probably outside of arty range and immediately quits the game after I challenge him.

In my experience last night I spin around the corner of a building on Stalingrad to see a chap from a clan called =WIP= in a T34-85. His team are leading at this point and we're making a comeback. I blast him once killing a couple of crew. I blast him again and close in to finish him off, his tank is completely disabled at this point and crew busy putting out a fire. As I line up to shoot him almost point blank in the side of the turret I again get one-shotted by him from a shell coming from above and landing right on the top of my tank. Once again, not an arty strike. He repairs and drives off.

Oh now that is interesting. you'll have to get those up so we can have a look see.

I've been in similar to your second experience quite a few times (apart from the shell dropping right on top) loads of times the game has reported an enemy tank driver/gunner dead, and they proceed to drive on or shoot me. I pay no never mind to any of that, again broken mechanics at play is the most likely reason.

but the shell landing on top - if definitely - from the guy you're attacking and it not arty is interesting to say the least.

could it simply be another bug, the game not giving you the 'arty on your position' warning?
 
Well, the top-end of the Russian tech tree in ground vehicles was definitely looking a bit sparse... wouldn't you say? :o

What we really need is yet another ROFLstomping tank of Sovietanium.... hey, how about we stick a prototype 100mm gun-armed T44 in there, for **** 'n' giggles :p

Coming in 1.57, to smash German, British and American armour near you!
 
Bah, these rumours are untrue I tell you. :mad:

Once again, I promise you. I have NOT l337 haXx0red Gaijin's game at all.

My M4A2(W) Sherman is the same as everyone else's.... right. Right?

(Standard M4 Sherman behind for scale)

Post from this time last year.

Seeing as Gaijin are intent on ramming every Soviet prototype tank with a 1-hit-kill cannon into the game, when will we be seeing these?

My guess is: Never.
 
Going back what probably spans 2 or 3 driver updates I've had a fair bit of tearing in War Thunder, seems exacerbated on some maps, like Berlin (the air map) is awful for it. Anyone else find the same?

That'll just be the Linux! :p

Seriously though, what GPU and what driver are you running? Got V-Sync enabled?

Did you use Display Driver Uninstaller fully when changing drivers?
 
Now that I'm over XCOM2 and DragonsDogma I've chucked another month of premium on WarThunder and decided to set myself the target of getting the Conqueror. I clearly must be a glutton for punishment given the current state of Brit tanks, oh well.

post the videos up let us have a look.

You're nuts! :eek:

Have you test driven it? The ammo for it is garbage! And it only gets APDS and HESH, and HESH blatantly isn't modelled anywhere close to properly.
