Thank You Gaijin For Releasing This Today As You Have Made My Day
I do not understand the sp reduction? how is that helpful? this gives chance for griefers to keep griefing.. and those who actually play the game with their best tactic cant anymore.. now im forced to spawn in a spaa beginning of the battle to shoot things out of my range *stupid*.. spawncamping fixed? NO maps fixed enemy looking in the spawn? NO come on devs there is a lot more work to be done with the actual game thn adding new vehicles
Indicated Air Speed should read out in nautical miles per hour (kts) and display a (-) when traveling in the opposite direction of current bearing.
comunity: "the grinds are ridiculous, air RB is boring, the game is massively unbalanced with lots of vehicles having no real impact." Gaijin: "how about some unreachable new high tier unbalanced vehicles!?" also comunity: "woah new toys at super high BR I love it and gonna buy it thank you Gaijin I love you so much <3"
I have the update but I can´t play with elicopters. Why?
helicopters can be accessed in CBT or you can also meet them in arcade ground battles at the respective ranks https://warthunder.com/en/news/5779-helicopter-testing-has-begun-en
You have to buy a pack
hey, is it possible to make a major update fun for every one and not only for people witch bought a premium vehicule ? (please don't answer with some thing like " for the players witch didn't bought a game package we added a lot of new vehicules" because we all know that adding new vehicules dosn't change the daily grind of a lot of players which renders the term "major update" useless. thx for the free game btw
Hey gaijin , After the release of 1.81 when i use aircraft on tanks battles , Sea battles and air battles in maps based on land battles like normandy , the graphics option go to max , specially the distance range at which high poligons texture ecc.... switch to low , even if in my option menù are still set to low , so my FPS go really down (i play on PC) , this doesn't happens in air battles in maps only for airplanes , please give me some explanations
Hi, the developers had reports of fps issues and they're working on it - it will get fixed as fast as possible.
Ouiche, Thanks , you are always great , finallyy dream of piloting anche mi24 hind became reality and is fun
Yay.... helicopters for nations I don't play and a warrior that is worse than a BMP-2 but a higher BR!!!!! Like seriously, most underwhelming patch ever.
Great work! Your programmers must be proud of yet another patch that is a big fat middle finger for the linux and macos community. 4th one in a row.... Keep it up gaijin! I'll keep playing the game on gf1060 on opengl3 renderer with 30fps. LOL. With this attitude you will continue the great path of losing player base.
Nice job devs, all u need to do now is to fix stock syndrome :D
