Dear Players!
Do you have a question about the development of War Thunder, that you'd like to put forward to the developers? We are sure you do - and here's your chance! Taking opportunity from the recent introduction of the Website Comment System, we'd like to give our players a comfortable opportunity to get in touch with us and ask the questions they are interested in the most!
The comment section is open for your questions from 14.00 GMT to 17.00 GMT on May the 10th. Your questions will be handled as quickly as possible, but please allow some time for our developers to answer - as you know, they have a busy schedule of adding new features to your favourite game!
Before you submit your question: Be sure to check out the Website Comment Rules as well as the additional Q&A Guidelines displayed below. In order to keep this Q&A productive for everyone, please understand that we reserve the right to remove any comments not abiding by those rules.
Depending on the interest and success of this new approach in Questions & Answer sessions, expect more of them to come in the future!
Q&A Guidelines:
- Any comment to this article must contain a question related to the War Thunder project, directed at the development team.
- All questions must be asked in the English language.
- Please do not ask multiple questions per comment, unless they are very closely related. Submit an additional question instead.
- Please do not ask marginal questions that can be answered easily by other instances (e.g. 'What is the objective of Ground Strike in Air Arcade?' or 'When is my bug report about XYZ being approved?'). Use the forums for such questions instead.
Questions are not publicly displayed immediately, but will be made visible as soon as a developer has answered them.- Upvote the questions that you are most interested in!
- Before posting your questions, try to read those already answered first, to avoid asking the same question twice.
- Keep your questions constructive, serious and in compliance with the Website Comment Rules. Thank you!

Comments will be premoderatedWhen the ships in War Thunder come out?
end of 2016
We are targeting 2016, but we'll see.
Will you also add the P-51 H soon?
A few of us have seen videos/images of update 1.59. One of the most notable things spotted was an IT-1 Tank which is basically a mobile ATGM. While this wil add a whole new level to the game. Will the USSR be the only nation getting a guided missle or will we see more vehicles/weapons in the future?
No.
"No - Russian won't be the only one" or "No - we won't see any more such vehicles" ?
When naval fleets arrive, will it be possible to land tanks using landing craft for maps like normandy and will these be player controlled if so? Thank you.
Will you add Me-262 HG-III to the game?
probably no.
That's unfortunate as it's a beautiful plane
with news of a radio guided missile being added soon as well as a new top tier jet. Will the BR's be extended to 9 and 10 in the near future to help reduce post war fighting WW2 vehicles? fighting post war tanks and planes in the currently can be frustrating for some players, and missiles and new top tier tanks may make this worse if the BR is not extended.
If it will be required.
There were not many War Thunder era jets/props with these types of weapons mounted. Only several German (prototypes, witch HAD run AA and AG tests) planes (Ta 152, Me 262) and US builds...
could you remove hit camera from simulator ground forces? because to see reports of damage very unrealistic.
Definetely this!! always thought this feature cool, but VERY unrealsitic. Should only be used for watching replay mathes TBH! Would be the logical use of it
Are you going to add the B-36 peacemaker
Not planned now.
1. What about Drop Gear / Takeoff for the Me163 / Ki200?
A long time ago they said no, but i believe in an earlier Q&A it was mentioned that it's possible. (Remove my comment if it gets a MODs' answer)
The balance issue is troubling lots of new and mature War Thunder players. We've been asking for a change for quite a while now. I'm confident that the team is working on BR changes. Irrelevant of how soon these will be implemented, is there going to be a major change in the BR system ? Are we going to see a better system for calculating BR ? Thanks.
The tier based games with random battles always have complaints on balance. The nature of tier based games can't provide 100% perfect balance for all. So it is not about BR system - this is about the idea that there random battles with random vehicles on random maps.
Even if a single battle is not balanced, because of randomness you get 'balance' by playing numerous battles. I don't think balance is the most important thing to achieve. I'm more interested in realistic (plausible) opponents, according to the year of service, at least in RB /SB
