Warthunder -Ground Forces now in Open Beta

http://warthunder.com/en/news/587-Update-141---Ground-Forces-OBT-en 

Major features of the 1.41 Update:

• Ground forces are now available for all players in open beta test (Ground Forces progress achieved by players in the CBT will be wiped);

Warthunder with tanks is fucking epic it's like comparing the film The Dirty Dozen to Pearl Harbor. It's gritty, you can't see a fucking thing, you don't zing around like the tanks in WOT. sometimes you can't reverse out of a place. You've got no idea, (do you??), of the damage you are causing, (no red bar?).

Very basic but I hope the don't make it easy. WT Hardcore WOT Softcore.

I am going to be rubbish at this.

Sorry over the top I only played 3 games and got one assist but it's mental.

Not really had a chance to play again, noticed that not all the keys are bound?

How do you call in an artillary strike? You done that yet Munk?

Cheers, If I can stay awake after a nightshift may give it a go.

Really starting to enjoy WarThunder tanks. The stock First StuGIII is awful but once you modify it it can be quite devastating. Enjoying brawling no end it took 3 tanks to get me off the C cap in Karelia??

Sticking to lower tier Pzkpfws medium tanks. The are very versatile and can pack a punch. Not sure the SPAA's have much use in the game as I just don't see enough planes to justify them. 

How you doing Munk?

Things that piss you off Warthunder addition:

People who think they are playing WOT and not WT.

The brutal step from tier 1 to tier 2

Hetzers that Hetz

I went 100% for the first time in ages on WoT yesterday.

Played 2. Won 2.  Retired for the day.

Anyone know if they are going to build a new engine for WOT?

It's a creaky old thing, but Wargaming only seem bothered by tweaking the graphics which makes the engine even more cumbersome.

Lipstick and pigs spring to mind. 

I understand that building a engine is huge but still if they are going to stay ahead they've got to be working on it surely?

They are upgrading to HAVOC a full fledged engine with full physics modelling and destructible terrain. Most of the 9.? patches will be incrementing towards this.

So had an impulse buy moment the other night and bought a ps vita slim which is due to release at the beginning of June. Comes with borderlands 2. 

Good or bad impulse purchase? By all accounts it seems very good, reviews rave about it too. Always been skeptical of hand held gaming, it just doesn't seem right or as good, and the PSP was pants, so am interested if this turns out to be good. 

Sweet - 8 kills and a Mission Maker. (first and last kill of the game).

The WT KV-1 is insane.

I was holding "A" point in Ash River or Karelia the one with the bridges on my own. A StuG Ausf III and a T-28 trading blows with me from the end of the bridge. Killed those two with barely a scratch. Next up a SD.kfz.6/2 SPAA tries it on not a hope in hell - two shots to finish him and whilst I'm killing these three I'm getting hit from behind by a Pzkpfw III Ausf L and a T-34 1941. I turn and kill the German and about to kill the T-34 when we won. 

Hardly any damage. They reckon the KV-2 1939 is even harder to kill.

Overpowered but f*cking hell it's fun to play.

The SU-85 possibly the best thing in the universe.

It dawned on me why I like this better than WOT even though people moan about MM I have never been in a match where I could not contribute and kill other players. In WOT you would end up in games and be powerless.

Himmelball -Football in Tanks..

The 3rd episode of season 2 of the Walking Dead game - Epic!

WT - I fucking love you.

specializing in a brawler/capper Soviet style. 

If I can get one or two folk who cap first we can win 95% of matches.

Bah game has started crashing after the last patch.

Means I don't get to yell at other players

"Now look here Wilson"

"You stupid boy"

"Don't tell him Pike!"

You people give the WT community a bad name and you need to leave

Now look here Wilson....

Sing out if you've been able to get back on-Ive got a KV1E and im a bit afraid to use it

Not playing tonight but hopefully tomorrow, will let you know you playing under Munk?

I'd play but I don't have enoguh time to be shit at two games.

Wot, Warthunder and Football would be a sneaky wee hat-trick for me!

Fort -I am playing under Munk -Ive added you to my friends list so Ill message you if i see you on

I had to play arty in CWs last night... I feel so dirty... particularly considering my win rate in Bert when I was grinding it was so horrid.

Still, we won 3 (someone else drove Siggy in the landing as I was working) with my FV in it.  We won't talk about VPA absolutely smashing us when I was in the T25 AT.

Oops post fail.Wrong thread.

No! No! Come back, come back in, it's not to bad here honestly!

Hey Munk FT fixing his comp, monitor not working and will try and get on asap.

sorry I missed you -did a couple of battles then watched some telly for a change

lol still having issues. Reinstalled the original driver from the Nvidia disk which is 3 and a half years old, I can, (cross-fingers), still play something light like state of decay but not tried WT yet, just glad to get out of safe mode.
