"No, Xbox One players will need to create a new War Thunder account. No transfer of progress or purchases from other platforms will carry over to the Xbox One version and vice versa." NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! My fears have been realized... this killed it for me. T.T
Totally... I was so hyped about Xbox release since Microsoft is pushing cross play between PC and Xbox so I was sure we will be able to enjoy this game on Xbox without having to grind everything from the beginning and paying all that money all over again... Now I'm just disappointed
Honestly, I've been interested In this for awhile now. It's just after learning I'd have to restart my entire account, I'm just not that interested anymore. I saw the bundles In the Xbox store and was thinking of buying one for early access. But I don't see a point when I'd have to regrind everything again. Just not that appealing now.
Totally agree
Is it out now or what, I don't get it, the exclusives doesnt matter, they're trash anyway, anyone driven the XM 1 on PC, it is so easy to kill
I’ve found the xm1 to be quite a good tank. It’s certainly not op, but I just love how fast it is, even more than my leopard 2k.
How will custom battles work with xbox version?
They won't.
Can we linked our Gaijin Account to Xbox Live accounts and keep our progression?
Read the FAQ. You can't
gromvoiny, No offense but, "Money Whores!" -My Friend.
How will the controls operate on the Xbox One controller, with so many different varying buttons and things that you can well, control?
You can hook up Xbox controller to PC version and try it for YEARS.
gromvoiny, well you don't have to be rude, was just asking :/
Is it possible to change the symbol of the player names form ^ to ° ? It would be way more fitting
Will we be able to own the Chrysler XM-1 and the General Motors XM-1 at the same time, if we have already purchased the GM version and attempt to purchase the C version on Xbox One when it is released?
Chrysler XM-1 is only available on XBO and you have to create new account there.
So I will be able to play my PC account on my Xbox?
Read the FAQ, no
Why not xbox 360 :c
Hardware too old i presume.
