All my double side/mirrored decals are visible on one side only. I have 642 vehicles and multiplied by number of camouflages I have its give 3000+ camos to rework decals on them!!!!!!!!! Are you guys kidding? Pls fix this.
yay... game stopped working... the launcher stopped working few days ago, now the whole game. just black screen! GJ!
The bombload is misplaced on the t-2 with 500lb bombs and aim-9e. On the left wing there are one bomb pr pylon, but on the right wing the outer pylon is empty while there are two on the inner pylon. It looks ridicoulus :D With aim-9b and 500lb bombs it shows correctly.
( I got a very big problem with my fps, fps drops to 5 when I shoot rockets from planes, it's because of smoke, I am using ultra low graphics but still it's really a problem, when I shoot rockets it hurts my eyes to see a bad fps, and I started to die a lot, can you make rocket's smoke to be less laggy or make a switch to change graphic's smoke like on the earlier version. My friends have the same problems, some of them sadly quit WT till they can afford GPU or till the next update with fps fix)
I have been waiting for skies and new explosions and fire. I am wet and will be playing this all night....now to get my clip featured on ThunderShow ;) thank you mighty snail

please help!! I'm new to WAR THUNDER and I really love this game! I've only played it for 2 days and now is the update. It took me months to download the game because of the poor connection in the Philippines. But it's worth waiting for! I also did not download the 19gb HD quality because it would take months to complete. I just came here and say to Gaijin and the developers that this is the most amazing game!! Thank you for welcoming me to the game! I need help on how to update the launcherpls
Do you know anybody with a fast internet connection? He may click on the settings icon in the launcher and download the .torrent file by clicking on the link "Download via torrent file". Or you provide him the .torrent file. If you do not have that option, I could send you a DVD by postal mail from Germany (this might take longer than downloading, though).
Do u have ethernet connection ?
