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.

So 1169 He177 German heavy bombers of a good number were built and we get a long french box of which only 4 were completed, Germany fielded bombs above the size of the current Sc1000 and yet we never see them, but Russia gets a 3000kg bomb, Germany builds an America bomber program and Japan gets a massive fully cannoned bomber before we do, you know, the Germans that built heavy bombers.. HEAVY BOMBERS GAIJIN, Oh were not russian bias.. xaxaxa.... How are we supposed to take you seriously.
When the Lowe Tank will be added... its been 2 years I've been waiting.... T_T
Is it possible for us American bomber lovers to get B-23 and B-26? Also would be great to rebalance most of the line, B-25 too high of br, and B-18 has unrealistically low bombload for example.
Where can I find this german radial tank sight? I would love to use it!
apfsds for leopard please
Needs a new leopard first, the ones currently in the game did not have it.
Because it is lonely that Japan tank does not have rank 6, please raise the 74 type tank to rank 6.
Would make no sense, maybe if they introduce the Kai version, but otherwise no, Japan in general needs more high tier tanks.
please add universal talisman in warbonds gaijin.Im tired spading soviet tech tree
anyone else think it'd be a good idea to add a timed spawn protection system in air ab? to demotivate players from climbing over the enemy spawn and spawnkilling people?
please let us be able to make our own decals in the future! its far more easy to add an image to put on our tank to make a special user skin just because you want a special or own made decal on it
A good was of implementing faster jets, in my opinion, is by having a game mode like RB but with no markers, so you would need to spot enemies with no help. This would make it more balanced towards slower planes, since aiming is harder with no markers.
