Pilots of Simulator Battles, we have already introduced you to the new game mechanics of “rooms” (lobby), which opens for you the possibility of choosing the game session and even the team you join. In the future it will replace “Enduring Confrontation” and will greatly expand your capabilities of simple preparation in battles.
Movement to the new mechanics will proceed smoothly. In War Thunder Update 1.67 “Assault”, the new SB will be presented in the form of rooms and achievements will be able to be used in it! This will allow SB pilots along with players of other game modes to participate in the events and specials where battles will return a clear definition of the winning and losing team. In the first stage of the movement to the new SB you will find the the familiar “EC” as separate room.
But this is not all the merits of the new format: in the final stages of the movement to the new SB, players will be able to create own rooms! Player will be able to choose:
- Which countries will be able to participate in each team
- Which Battle Ratings will be available for the mission (selection from the available ranges)
- Which missions will be in rotation, including creation of the “EC”
User rooms will be in separate block and the name will include the BR fork and name of the mission. In these missions you will not be able to join accidentally from the general queue, but you can get to them from the list of rooms.
after the release of the War Thunder Update 1.67 “Assault”
We hope that you will appreciate the new features of the updated SB!
Very soon SB will be a more transparent and simple mode, where apart from the usual choice of battle server the player will be able to independently choose an interesting battle. In addition, the achievements of the events and specials will work in SB and skilled players will be able to create custom player rooms.
Q. What will the rules of respawn be in the new SB?
A. You will able to choose whole set-ups of aircraft which will be accepted in mission. You will be able to respawn in each vehicle once (or twice if you have back-up vehicle). When losing the chosen vehicle it will be blocked till end of the battle.
Q. Which missions we will see in the new SB?
A. It will be missions from aircraft RB
Q. Which nations will participate?
A. For the moment: USSR vs Germany, USA vs Japan, USA + Britain vs Germany.
Q. How deep will the customization of the user rooms be?
A. You will be able to choose the BR fork (selection from the available ranges), choose missions and sides of the conflict.
Q. Will you consider allowing research progress in the user rooms?
A. Yes

Can't wait for PVE! :D French tanks too.
heck yea!
W
NICE!!
Still wondering why this isn't classed as a mode or allowed for use in Warbond Tasks/Events, this isn't really a change in game mechanics and only affects the SB Aircraft gameplay. Will there ever be a Enduring Confrontation style mode for tanks or the time limit at least getting increased for RB/SB Ground forces battles?
wow I might play sim battles more then. I am loving the new changes that are coming with this update, cheers gaijin
I hope this lobby mechanic becomes generally a way to join battles whithout them being custom battles
Great, I wish more people played or at least tried sim. I think people who like realistic would like sim as well. As for me, I did not try sim for tanks since I thought that controlling the tank would be much more difficult than in arcade or realistic, but that is not the case. I love tank sim because there is this feeling of danger, and because you need to make this "brain effort", even more so than in realistic.
That's great Thanks Gaijin
so we still keep EC in all it's variants but they will appear in the room system? i kinda like that. but don't replace EC completely. While i like the return of old SIM, the Arcade respawns of the current tests aren't my cup of tea.
Yes, EC will be available in the rooms
I'm getting snowed in tomorrow, it would be a great time for an Update. Lol
I am happy... for all the people that actively play Sim. I only join tank sim from time to time, so congrats you guys!
How about a lobby for Squadron Battles? We've been asking for it for something like two years now...
