is it possible to cross play with PC, Xbox and PS4 in Simulator battles and EC?
There are no simulator battles or EC on Xbox
gromvoiny, but the PS4 players can join Simulator battles and EC, will this also be possible for Xbox players at some point?
The better hardware of Xbox One X can generate more FPS than regular Xbox One?
No, X1X runs in 4K@30 fps
Can we do email bind like players on Playstation 4? Or will it be possible in the future?
No
Love this "equal treatment" of all platforms. 60$ on PC gets you: - XM1 (GM) - 2000 Golden Eagles - 15 days of premium account 60$ on XBox gets you: - XM1 (C) (tier 5 premium), F2A-1 (tier 1 premium), M5A1 (tier 2 premium), F4U-4B (tier 4 premium) - 5000 Golden Eagles - 45 days of premium account - 120,000 Silver Lions - 3 unique decals - 3 unique titles - access to navy closed beta Sounds totally fair.
Also love how the website messes up the formatting of your comment completely and makes it unnecessarily hard to read.
Yep, sounds pretty equal to me
It's interesting the cross platform Q&A does not mention PlayStation 4 players. Is that a typo or are Xbox One players really unable to play with/against PlayStation 4 players?
War Thunder would be the first game ever to have PS4/XBox crossplay as far as I know, so I assume there won't be crossplay between those platforms. Sony doesn't want that.
Playing with PS4 is not allowed.
Lol
Will Xbox be able to play against ps4 players upon release
No, Sony forbids it.
now tell me how are we seposed to find the weakspots on the xm1(c) if as in documents described the armour values are diferent then those of the gm variant
Will it be possible some time to link xbox to pc account as it is possible for ps4? also are you saying that if we play xbox we have to start all over?
No and yes, it's all there in the FAQ
So Why no pc vs xbox vs ps4? That could be fun and also will reduce the waiting time :)
Because Sony forbids it.
