Weather in WT is also weird...

On maps like Bastogne you can have snow from blue skies

Snow from blue sky does happen irl though, and it isn't that uncommon

I have a mid-tier computer, and I can already predict that if WT was to upgrade from its current weather to MSFS2020 style weather, it would (in my case) probably be disastrous in terms of graphics, framerate and packet loss.  I rather have the weather remain like it presently is than get a graphically top-of-the-range but virtually unplayable game...

 

*Has flashback to two decades ago when installing the original IL-2 Sturmovik on a 1998 mid-range desk-top computer, and getting a slide-show game framerate*

in this case, not use the max graphics and be fine

Could someone briefly explain what is so bad about Hellfires? I don’t have any hell with Hellfires not  Vihkr so I have no idea what all of this is about

 

Hellfires take a really long time to hit distant targets due to their trajectory and the laser guidance makes them easily lose track if there's any obstacle in the way (trees, bushes, smoke plumes, etc) even for a moment. The Vikhr works like a regular ATGM, the missile goes towards the point you have your crosshairs on and the proximity fuze makes it much easier to hit any aircraft with them.

9.8 km

 

That is the value in the file, but they are also adding a 25% ish atmospheric drag change at low altitude. So thefinal value should be around 7km.

So we have the announcement, does that mean 1.97 is coming tonight? I have 5 boosters that are expiring in 23h

If we were to receive a server maintenance announcement, it would be some 2-3 hours from now. There's still time.

Why would someone go around all of the games they don't play anymore and post on their forums? I'd rathers spend time on the forums of games I like...

If only i knew ... Guess the quarantine is boring for some people

[Stridswombat 1,089]

You're kind of missing the point. You complain about games that you like, not the ones you don't.

Yeah dude , because he's liking the game so much he can't wait for it to die.

Maybe because he doesn't like the way it's heading? Not hard to understand.

Regardless there tons of bug fixes coming and general life improvements. You can't just say "game breaking bugs" without listing what game breaking bugs (he's also in the wrong section for that).

Also no matter how much bugs they fix there will always be bugs that's part of a games life cycle. But im getting off topic.

Literally 0 excitement for this update. Oh, wow, would you look at that. They added a whole new tech tree without fixing predomaintly game breaking bugs and general life improvement fixes.

 

Can't wait for this game to die lol

This is one of the best patches in a long time

I think people became more and more disappointed with War Thunder’s clouds after seing Flight Simulator 2020’s PRE-alpha footage xD

 

 

They are impressive clouds, but then again Flight Simulator 2020  is rumoured to need 32 GB of RAM, meanwhile War Thunder will run on just about anything which has remotely modern hardware.

Wow, i remember a world when 128Mo of ram was considered as more than sufficient...

 

I am quite old probably...

Why are AIM9E so bad when you fire them near the ground?
