So, I decided to play a bit of WT tonight. My integrated graphics decided it wasn't going to comply, and so my FPS stank. After a fail battle with the Russians, I went with the Germans:

Bf 109E-3: A Kittyhawk chose to go heads-up with with me. Neither one of had much of a choice but to go heads-up, so we went at it, guns blazing, but both of us failed to do much damage. He then zoomed past me, but instead of climbing or trying to turn fight, he put about .6 to .8 of a mile between us, and then came around to go head-on again. This time it didn't work out so well. Ram 1. At least he apologized when I explained to him that unless you have no other option, you should avoid going head-on, instead of intentionally seeking out heads-up encounters. Still, how much brain power does it really take to figure that sort of thing out for yourself?

Bf 110: Got in a fight with a pair of A-20s. I went after one of them, but he turned around and went head-on with me. I pulled up to avoid him, but he just went straight through me. Ram 2. Turned out that he didn't have an elevator controls.

Bf-109E-1: After a few minutes, I went after another target, and I got my tail control derped off by a lucky Ki-45 and crashed.

Mc. 202: Chased a P-36 around a bit, he came around and went head-on, and we rammed each other. Ram 3. Chance Meeting. Funnily enough, the P-36 was the same guy who rammed me in the A-20, and who I'd very closely missed in the E-1.

Same here. I failed miserably with the Russians yesterday. Instead, I got for the Japanese.
With those I still managed to get some kills, but my Ki-61 got rammed, the A6M2 went way better, but after killing an A-20G, I tried to do a stall and crashed under a stone "bridge" (LMAO). The Ki-45 got rammed just before we lost the round. IIRC, I had only defeats yesterday. I couldn't get the x5 bonus. That's torture.
 
Must double post. The most ******** intense moment in War Thuder. Setting afire and killing an American plane on the landing strip head-on, Zengzhou. Iconic.


6 kills on match, no die, yo.

Hey don't take the piss out of my baby hurricane, its not his fault he doesn't have Hispanos

Don't worry. Mine has a K/D ratio of almost 10 and often it feels like that, too. At that level it doesn't really need cannons. Even bombers often go down on one swoop, assuming it's not from behind. I mean, one of those guns is bound to hit the pilot :razz:
 
The really cool thing about the first Hurri is that the DM doesn't really affect you at all in HB. No matter how damaged you are, as long as parts don't fall off, nothing will really affect your flight model too much.
I once spent fifteen minutes fighting off four 109s and actually survived.


Excluding hits to the engine, obviously.
 
Oh ****sticks  :lol:

Get as many planes as you can and want now, I think. I had heard they were thinking of dropping tiers but if this is how progression will be made... wow, not many people are going to get far in the RAF bomber line with the Swordfish only having the torpedo as it's ordnance.
 
If they **** this up, Gaijin will learn the hard way what happens when you make your game like your competitor's when much of your playerbase has come to you because they disliked your competitor's games. The whining is going to be in-****ing-credible. After this is posted officially by the devs I don't think there will be a point of me browsing the WT forum for useful info, because any useful info will be buried in whining. Heck, it's already started. Leaked/translated from RU forum/etc info of a system like this has been going around the WT forum for a few days now, and the mods there have already officially banned all speculation surrounding the next patch.  :lol:
 
So... if you "complete" a plane the next one will become cheaper? Bundled with proper tiers for planes/planes sorted by era?
I honestly don't see the problem so many have with this. In my eyes it has a lot of potential to actually end a lot of whining about the MM. :neutral:

In order to advance to the next plane on the line you need to ace that plane?!
That is a terrible misinformation. You dont need to ace previous plane to advance to the next plane.

The community manager, in case you are wondering. That might still mean that one has to get all the upgrades and that'd be utterly retarded, no discussion about that.
There was some talk that you can use free EXP for that, but as long as that will cost eagles it's still utterly retarded.

But then, it's not final and the major backlash right now might - lol - make them reconsider the potentially game-breaking-ly bad aspects about it.
 
There's absolutely zero info out there that it would take anywhere near this long.
Heck, even if you would be forced to max out the experience on a plane it wouldn't take that long, and you will not need to do so.
 
Apart from matchmaking boons, this:
From now on unlocking the next aircraft requires less experience which means that progress to the top aircraft of the branch is quicker.
assuming it'll prove to be true, should actually be for the benefit of the players.

Granted, it doesn't affect me much personally, as the only tree I have an interest in that isn't unlocked yet are the late 109s. And in this case the new system will probably even help me, seeing as I own just about every single plane on the German side I can reach with the current rank system, apart from those ridiculously bad Italian bombers and Henschel's "duck".

Well, this should answer a few questions: http://warthunder.com/en/news/350/current/
Interesting. I'll have to play it to be sure (the article didn't answer all my doubts), but this could actually be fun. It might remove the 'rank grind' that some of us have been complaining about.
