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.

Rank VI is my favourite. The more modern, the better for me! Looking forward for that T-64AB Reactive Armor modification for T-64A you mention here!!! Hope to see tanks like T-64B or T-72 aswell ^^
So I guess they are just IGNORING everyone on this page!?! WHY put a comment section if Gaijin isn't going to respond to single comment!?! Especially considering so many of them bring up very important questions and grievances!
could you guys look into the incorrect cockpits for the seafires? and as a non premium member could you make high sl rewards a bit more common in the battle trophies?
What are the chances that we will see the Naval configurations for German aircraft like the Ju. 87 and Bf. 109? These were meant to be used on the aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin but never saw use nor production. Could these be potential premiums?
They were both made and used so yeah they could come...
Is there any chance a b-17f can be added to replace the late E model, since the only difference will be the nose and cheek gun configuration, and if you guys can add another model of the B-24, like a J or an M?
The Privateer is a b24 variant made by the navy, although we need more b24s since more were made than b17s and we have more b17 models.
Will Britain eventually get the 3 V bombers?
will we get early 3rd gen tanks?
Cant wait for the T72 or T80 to arrive. Maybe T90MS as the top Tier 6 ? :D would be amazing!
So you also want the F22 Raptor and the Mig 29?

Well just a small comment for the the team, I would like to congratulated you because you are doing a very good this year, in all aspect. The release of the Cold war era and of course the Italian and French tech tree are magnificent improvement. You behave very friendly and generously with your community (gift, new war bond system, etc). Thank you so much for all of that, personally I'm having these day, fantastic moment playing your game. Long life to War Thunder! Warm regards.
For the love of god please increase convert GE-RP to like 150 or 200 or something it's such a crap ratio
