Ohhhh! Those should make for some great Soviet vs Japan based special events.
Russian streamers testing ALL boats currently available.
HEAS seems to deal less internal damage.Can't wait till the rest of us can play it.
I was a bit shocked at Baron yesterday though. Using AP rounds in the big guns against wooden or very thinly armoured torpedo boats? Wat?
Well, to be honest, I'm interested too (I sent a request for CBT access and now waiting for response), but I'm not fond of the small boats much. I'll still concentrate on planes and tanks. What I can't wait to play is Japanese tanks.Can't wait till the rest of us can play it.
You know the 'world war' mode which has been greyed out since the game launched but in the settings drop down menu where you select custom battles from as well?Really want to see tanks/planes/boats in a battle, would be a blast! Cant wait to see what gaijin bring in the future with the introduction of boats
It would be nice but they did say they weren't doing infantry as they didn't want to raise the age rating.Think they might ever get infantry? I believe after they do, and grey all working well together, that's when we will get the world war option.
Any of you guys managed to be on when they had a boats test session going?
The infantry is present in the game resources and can be added to a custom single mission through War Thunder CDK tool. It also exists in some single missions. When I was playing one on a Ju-87 (it was a ground attack mission), I saw a British soldier running on the ground and even shooting his rifle at me.Think they might ever get infantry? I believe after they do, and grey all working well together, that's when we will get the world war option.
They should've done it a long time ago. They've only essentially upgraded textures from their old IL2 and Wings Of Prey games, with new(ish) aircraft getting new cockpits (ie: P47N, still looks bad).
Sure!!Can we go B29 bombing again?
Sure!!
whenever you stop trying to avoid me lol
B17 4 life
I don't play tanks but nice.Woah...
Hydropneumatic suspension in War Thunder
Behind a complex definition hides a very useful combat ability to change the angle of the tank’s hull in all directions or the ability to ‘hunker down’ the vehicle, seriously reducing its height. Of course, only on vehicles that use this type of suspension.
Hydropneumatic suspension in battle.
Japanese tankers will be the first to try this new mechanic in battle on the Type 74 and STB-1 top-tier tanks. Full freedom of action! By default, you will be able to control the suspension with a numeric keyboard, and the tactical opportunities will amaze both the driver and his enemies. Add hull angling to the usual weapon angling toward the opponent and attack them while remaining practically untouchable to return fire. Settle the tank down and use even low cover to safely hide your vehicle, then suddenly, without showing your hull, jump out and take your shot.
Get to grips with this new technique in full and figure out new tactics in battle.
Japan’s top tanks will become truly interesting vehicles that are worth striving to obtain, and they will add a new dimension to the locations you’re used to in War Thunder.

Interesting... I don't know that any American tanks utilize this. I know for a fact the Bradley and Abrams don't (I was a mechanic in 5-1AD) don't know about other countries but it sounds like this may be a Japan only thing even in the long run.
