Some nice new stuff has come along with the latest big patch to War Thunder… but sadly, a seatbelt upgrade to your tanks is not one of them. Oh well.
——————————
War Thunder is a free to play, online air & ground combat game you can try it out for yourself at: http://warthunder.com/en/registration?r=userinvite_2900230
who uses AP on a stug?!?!
i wish this game didnt have so many boring open field maps , where are the
epic city maps 🙁
Coming soon, Poland is already out there (first city map, was in 1.43) Im
guessing they’re working on more.
Well in reality sending your tanks to city combat was a risky mistake most
of the time. So Gaigin assumed ppl would be reasonable.
Yeah, I agree. Most of the time now, a tank in a city = no tank, because
any one infantry with a modern panzerfaust can usually destroy a tank.
yeah thats very true
Jedi, you complain about the drifting, but tanks would drift a decent
amount anyway, the reason drifting in WoT is rare is because it has gravity
set to 1.2 of earth’s gravity
+WaffulMann It’s arcade mode, tanks don’t handle as they should.
Part of the problem might be that driving the tanks in WT is different than
WoT…you really can’t just floor the gas-pedal (petrol-petal…whatever
lol). Especially since gravity in WoT is 0.5 of Earths gravity, and in WT
momentum is a thing.
+Ocrilat Actually the Gs in WoT universe is 1,2 Gs.
+Tommi Ridanpää
I have always seen it as like playing on the Moon…especially if you hit
an obstacle, and the broken bits slowly float up and slowly fall to the
ground…or maybe slow-motion? Whatever it is, it is pretty funny.
+Ocrilat Sometimes what happens to the obstacles, you hit them, when going
50 km/h and the things fly 20m upwards.
Hey Pointy you should map “Show modules status” button :3 Thanks to this
you can check your modules ingame with Xray thing :p
GAH! DONT USE AP ON THE SHORT 75MM GUNS! SPAM HEAT LIKE ITS GOING OUT OF
STYLE!
also rank doesnt matter, BR does. your Stug is 2.7BR, the 38t is only 2.3,
so you can throw it in safely.
as for the new ammo icons, the thicker the armor the shell is piercing, the
more pen it has. if it has an explosive background, the shell does more
damage when it pens.
The Hl. 38C is alot better than the Hl. 38B, due to the higher projectile
weight and 20mm of extra penetration.
I’ve been playing WT on PS4 and i can confirm that the PS4 Ground Forces
players are still the same there as the ones on PC they just don’t shout at
their team as much because they cant … and about the driving thing i just
try and drive carefully because being a impatient tanker in ground forces
tend to end up with either you or someone else upside down.Edit: i types
this before finishing the vid.
an* impatient
I’m a Grammar Nazi, deal with it.
+Tommi Ridanpää thanks for the correction friend. Now i’m 1 more step
closer to perfecting my English …. i bet you didn’t see this one coming.
+TheCrazyMoon Did Nazi that one coming.
i see what u did there 🙂
I enjoy all the videos you and Caption Guy produce, even the ones that
pertain to games I don’t play or plan on playing…..the two of you just
make entertaining and informative videos that are easy to watch. I played
WT:GF for a while but eventually got so bored with it I uninstalled WT
altogether, mainly because of it’s “been there done that” feel. I had
really high hopes for this game but was left feeling badly let down with
the result. If either the air or ground versions have anything over
WoT/WoWP it’s the far superior graphics……Beyond that nothing that I can
see. I will, however continue to follow developments via You Tube and would
consider reinstalling the game(s) if I see any major improvements
developing. Keep up the great work.
“if either the air or ground versions have anything over WoT/WoWP it’s the
far superior graphics……Beyond that nothing that I can see.” I can
understand with ground forces, but do you really think WoWP is better than
War Thunder? That’s hilarious if you do.
Thanks for bringing my clear blunder to my attention ZuliBlade….Clearly I
was taking a mental vacation when I wrote what I did regarding the air
combat version of WT. I’m not very interested in flying games in general (I
see them as militarized versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator for
example) for a number of reasons but I must say the WT version is far
superior in most, if not all, ways to WoWP. I am waiting to see, but not
currently interested in playing the sea war versions from either game
company (when they become available) because I see two things happening 1)
they will be so “busy” confusion will reign 2) I can hear players
complaining about the effectiveness of naval gunnery as applied to surface
ships and when they are, as they must be, subs and torpedoes are added to
the game(s). Just think about all the complaining you and I have heard
about arty in WoT and to some extent WT:GF. By the way I don’t play arty OR
complain about it….I’m not a good enough player in general to complain
one way or the other on that subject.
The reason for a squadmate, I think, is because there is a number of awards
attainable only in a squad (like Teamwork), so now it’s not necessary to
find a squadmate to get them.
You just make more money than without a squad, so why disable it?
Btw, jedi, it seems that your crews have unspent skill points, I’d
recommend assigning them after each battle.
Also – in terms of ammo, it goes generally like this:
AP = oversized bullet. It penetrates and does damage by bouncing around the
insides, or fragmenting.
APHE = Penetrates and blows up.
HEAT = retains same penetration over any range, usually is much slower than
normal shells, with some notable exceptions like ISU-152.
HE = Blows up on contact. Has very little penetration, is most of the time
pretty useless. Also makes your ammorack explosion stronger 😛
APCR = Lighter version of AP. Usually has great velocities.
“BC” at the end of a name means ballistic cap, it reduces the chance that a
shell will disintegrate on impact rather than penetrating (I think). Also
seems to have less chance to bounce.
I’m not 100% on these though, so take it with a bag of salt.
BC, a ballistic capped shell will have a better velocity due to the
decreased air resistance.
A couple of thoughts, hopefully will make your playing more fun….
With the short barreled gun, the fire arc is BIG! Be sure to aim VERY high
and lead a LOT!!
You can also switch the “random squad” thingy off in the menu
IMO, tanks get more fun rank 2 and more. Honestly I have fun with low rank
planes, but tanks are more fun in the upper tiers.
When choosing your ammo, look at TWO THINGS, what’s in the shell and the
penetration. Don’t go for the best penetration, but don’t go full HE
either. German round Pzgr 39 is the best option because it has good enough
penetration but a little HE in it as well so it does damage when it
penetrates instead of going straight through the enemy.
Phj is budget jingles
+Yogscast BlueXephos Not sure if that’s a good thing or not. 😛
Can someone tell me why they lock some of my rank 2 i cant go to rank 2 on
soviet tanks and on us planes
u need to buy a certain amount of non-premium rank 1ns (4-6 i cant remember)
you have to unlock all tier 1 planes or tanks first.
+mitchel vermeulen
not all, just 6.
Jedi you dont have to see the pen marker to hit, if the outline of the tank
shows it means you are most likelly to hit
Jedi, I think you don’t know about the BR system in the game, which
everyone’s hating at the moment.
I’ve heard, that Gaijin’s going to replace the BR in future patches.
+Tommi Ridanpää I always forget to check that entirely, for some reason.
And yeah, I’ve heard it’s the source of a lot of gripes.
+PointyHairedJedi
They also take into account how good a player you are…so why not just
choose to believe that it is because of your skills that you are going up
against KV-1s? Just don’t tell Caption Guy your theory.
+Ocrilat I thought they removed that “feature”.
I hope not…but even so, it’s still a good explanation to ‘choose’ to
believe lol.
MM does not care about ranks, research does. MM cares abour BR…
A couple of things for you.
You now loose your reticle above 0.8km I think to make long distance shots
harder so people do not just sit at the back and snipe.
Secondly ammo is very important do not just stock up on ulta high pen
otherwise you will do no damage. As if you have too much pen your shells
will penetrate the armor on both sides of the tank doing not a lot at all
Like War Thunder 1.41, patch 1.43 is causing me problems with the more
realistic flight mode in arcade. Stopped playing it because if this (for
now)
One quick thing…if you look at the armor viewer in the garage…it gives
you the effective armor for where you put your cursor on the tank…at the
angle of your view. So, if you move your tank view so the vehicle is angled
at 45 degrees in the garage, it shows the effective thickness for a shot on
that part, at that particular angle.
I didn’t notice that at first.
