Dear players,
Another round of questions and answers, with War Thunder producer Vyacheslav Bulannikov!
KPz/MBT 70 ROF has been reduced recently, why?
— Answer: There were 2 planned loading mechanisms for these tanks - one German and one American.The German one was not completed for this project and the American design had a 6 shot per minute ROF - as it is in the game now. Since the German loading mechanism was later implemented on other tanks, we will probably introduce them in the future.
What’s about Navy, any news?
— Answer: We are working hard on the Naval part of the game. The basic gameplay is completed, but we are polishing and adjusting it atm. We’re working on the research tree and crew skill by adding more content and vessels. As far as new maps - one will be shown in the nearest future, and we plan to make at least one other before the end of the year.
Researchable upgrades like the one on BMP-1P: will we see more such vehicles in the future? Is it possible that such modules will affect BR?
— Answer: It is possible in the future. E.g. if we add reactive armor for T-64A it will become T-64AB. Dynamic BR - unlikely, as it’s a very complex task technically and will only make mechanics more complicated.
What’s the top priority - Italian ground vehicles or French ones?
— Answer: I will not answer that now, but there will be an announcement soon... follow the news!
Feedback about rank 6 - what’s the players reaction and your personal opinion?
— Answer: We like rank 6 a lot and we received a lot of positive feedback on it. There will definitely be more vehicles, we want more diversity in vehicles. We will probably add more advanced machines later, no ETA though.
Did you think about adding APS (active protection systems) as a feature for the USSR tanks? Specifically the T-55AD.
— Answer: Yes, we thought about it but cannot tell whether we will implement it or not. Because gameplay-wise this feature does not involve players actions. However as a historical and technical feature it is, of course, very interesting.
Are custom sights playable in War Thunder?
— Answer: Yes, since our mechanics use realistic ballistics, and if you make sights correctly, whatever you make will be maximally close to the real one. We recently added more options for sights - like sights with radial scales such as e.g. German.
Are you happy with French aircraft balance?
— Answer: It’s pretty hard to make accurate BRs for the whole research tree and all its aircraft. However, we follow the statistics closely and I would like to thank our testers (the players who play French aircraft at the moment and leave their feedback). I have only started flying French aircraft myself and I am on rank 1 atm. I personally enjoy D.501 and those 4-engined monster sized bombers.
French jet bomber S.O.4050 Vautour IIA is very hard to take off even with rocket load - this is how its supposed to be?
— Answer: Yes, it’s a very heavy aircraft and requires long takeoff runway - that’s a real historically accurate problem. That is why it has the option of an air spawn on many maps. Also, we had to reduce its landing distance artificially. Otherwise it would always skid off the runway or we would have to rework all the airfields in the game.
You can ask your question to the developers on our official forum in the "Questions to the Team" section.

Q: KPz/MBT 70 ROF has been reduced recently, why? A: Never build i beg to differ http://magazin.spiegel.de/EpubDelivery/spiegel/pdf/45464941 Quote: ''Der automatische Lader, eine deutsche Konstruktion, die den Ladeschützen ersetzen soll, wurde zwar mit den Shillelagh-Raketen fertig, verformte aber die Kunststoff-Hülsen bis zur Unbrauchbarkeit.'' the loader was used but was designed to load conventional ammo. fact is that the germans didnt like the performance of the Shillelagh anyways
so they used the loader for conventional ammo and the Shillelagh was loaded manually. how about you guys go and visit Munster or Koblenz and talk to the staff there, they have some good infos about the Kpz program there
why cant you give the KPZ its planned features, to make a difference between the MBT & KPZ, so it makes it even more differential not something that is copy and pasted
I think the best option for kpz 70 and MBT is to separate the reload system for them. Kpz 70 with 10 RPM can't fire ATGM and MBT 70 with 6 RPM can fire ATGM. This will also follow the historical accuracy
GhostTigerJunior, i cant agree with you more
If you load up the 1.73 update video, the commentator mentions two MD.452 Mystere II variants; one with 4 20mm cannons and one with 2 30mm cannons for 1.73 however the one with 30mm cannons is not currently present in the game (which is the Mystere IIC). Where is that plane?
the one we have is the worse version of the Mystére and a prototype, they coudnt give us the final production model
NATORDEN, They were supposed to give us the Mystere IIC in the initial tech tree according to what I said but since they rushed the update they didn't :( Hopefully in the next patch along with the Mystere IV
What has happened to the map rotation in SB ground forces? Why do we get some maps very often (in particular Abandoned Factory) and other maps seem to have disappeared. For example I haven't seen Sinai, Mozdok, Finland, Carpathians, Fulda or El Alamein in several weeks. And I play often.
yeah... abandoned factory is showing up way more than other maps, and its geting anoying.
same here. And I choose all server before starting. I always got to play in normandy tho =__=
Will you please add EC as a permanent gamemode?
Is there any chance in the near future to fix the matchmaking?
Any chance we can get the NATO MM back?
so needed, i miss teaming germany and us against russia
so8000 silver prize %450.Are you joking?
ikr, i should have been making 100k sl per game not 50-30k sl
now that it has the MBT-70 Loading mechanism, will we get a 4th crew member for tank?
Hi players and developers, sorry about this "hate" answer, but I see only one thing... You nerfed a reload time of KPz/MBT 70 (great MBT), but you didnt nerf reload time on T64... It seems to be like the fact, that the russian tanks must be "always?" better than rival´s tanks. At BR 9.0 is maybe better option play with T64 because of reload time... Pls, make better changes like expanding BR. Thanks for your time. Ciao!
