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.

Its very different -I hope they sort out tank physics -it odd drifting all over the place -I'm also rubbish -have managed a few kills, more by luck than good management - looking forward to moving out of the basic tanks - played about 6 or 7 battles, was only in a winning team once..

You have to unlock the arty strike -takes about 800 xp to unlock i think then its a button press,then move the cursor to where you want it to 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?

havent played for a day or so-concentrating on WoT -grinding out the last xp on France (9.8k needed) and Japan (11.7k needed) to get the SuperPershing reward tank (you needed to get 75k xp for each of the 7 nations)

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.

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.

I'm loving it, leveled the Germans up to tier 3 but have swapped to the USSR as they are all round stronger tanks. It's inspiring how they've worked the artillery WOT should just steal that. I also prefer the capture and hold the flag style play, rather than last man standing. If you've got a couple of folk know what they are doing then a win is a certainty as most teams are still made up of base spawn campers.

Also one crash in 30 odd games whereas WOT it crashes every time so for me it's a no-brainer.

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.

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.

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.
