This update will change War Thunder... Keep up the good work
the pre order paint for the a6e tram is missing
I'm glad it's not only for me then. But they should fix it soon I hope.
Should be fixed by now. If you still do not see it, please restart the game. Sorry for troubles!
Thanks for removing the clearly unbalanced R-73 and adding balanced AIM-7M for F-16 with 9Ls in stock, because I love stomping enemies which can't do anything against me.
they're just a 7F copy-paste at the moment, down to everything so I won't be bothered, just annoyed by stock 9L's lol
I would have liked for them to not add the r27 either i belive it will be too strong ( i also have russia top tier i just dont want to point and click, I want a challenge)
cool
Don't mind it, but like where's the F-15J for Japan, that thing could have been added since every other nation has got new in the Aviation tree, while the F-4EJ Kai has only been moved...
f15 is too strong for this patch.
You could have kept the R-73 without IRCCM, but whatever ig. Fixing it is more important for now.
the introduction of SAMs is great I think we will need more AA with all the premium strike aircraft added recently
when the premium jets will be available for the Play Station players?
the question is about the new premium jets
This update is nothing short of astounding. Incredible work, Gaijin! What a treat it's been to see how War Thunder has evolved and improved over the past decade. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next!
Please delete the Damage indicator from realistic ground battles, it destroys all the fun in this mode. Nobody needs this
