If players normalized giving their team the "what & where" of the enemy team... My guess is that fast vehicles would go down quite a bit.

I can't be the only one who regularly dies to enemy tanks that are within 20-50 meters of a friendly tank, and said friendly tank didn't want to inform their team of an enemy location.

I'd hazard a guess and say it would probably actually be better at 9.7 than 5.7.

I doubt that it's capture point... Read more


The Swedish CV 9030 FIN infantry fighting vehicle armed with a 30mm Bushmaster cannon was developed to export to Finland.

CV 9030 FIN, light tank, Sweden, rank VI
Features:
  • Full-auto belt-fed cannon
  • Thermal vision

The CV 90 combat vehicles not only served (and are still in service) with the Swedish army, but were also actively exported abroad. One of the export versions, equipped with the Hägglunds E-series turret and a 30 mm Bushmaster gun was developed for the Finnish army. The vehicle is optimized for operations in a subarctic climate, snow and raw terrains. Further developments on this c... Read more

If you're gonna go for ground-focus CAS, I'd say the Arado-C or Narwhal, if you're going to go for air superiority, I'd say the 109K is a fairly healthy pick, even if it's only a 5.7 prop running in a potentially 8.3 game.

Maybe the Ta-152C (since it has the Mk,103?)... It would allow some anti-ground capacity, but I haven't played it at all to comment on how well it flies.

@OP As pointed out above my post, I think you may be comparing across game modes, which have different repair costs.

F-84G (US): 10,800 - 14,500 (min/max, WT wiki)
F-84G (CN): 9,000 - 12,000
F-84G (IT): 10,000 - 13,300
F-84G (FR): 10,600 - 14,200

Yes, china has the lowest repair costs, min-for-min/max-for-max in this instance- But also keep in mind that the efficiencies are going to be different between nations, which will play a part in shifting repair costs.


The Object 435 is a prototype tank, built under the program of the new Soviet medium tank to test the 115mm smoothbore cannon.

Object 435, medium tank, USSR, rank VI
Features:
  • Good frontal protection against kinetic rounds
  • Deadly APFSDS shells
  • Vulnerable to HEAT munitions


The prototype Object 435 medium tank was the most advanced in a series of experimental tanks being developed by Kharkov plant No. 75 under the "new medium tank" program at the very beginning of the 1960s. The Object 435 became a test vehicle for the newly developed 115mm U-5TS Molot unitary-loading smoothbore cannon that was later installed on... Read more

The result of the transition to the vehicle rank based economy We have noticed that there is a lack of understanding of the principles of the vehicle rank based economy, such as the differences from the previous system and the benefits achieved. First of all, we would like to note that in the vehicle rank based economy, the same prices and reward multipliers are not set for different vehicles of the same rank, as these are not target parameters, but calculated parameters. These calculated parameters still use some statistical values for calculations. The target parameters in the economy (old and new) are earnings per unit time (from which the reward multiplier will be calculated) and profit/loss per unit time (from which the repair cost will be calculated). Since both targets are given to a unit of time - it becomes clear that to calcula... Read more

It's quite a difficult task, but as mogami has pointed out- It's open for quite a while, and there is no reward for being the first one to have that task done.

Last BP season I remember there being a similar task that I couldn't complete, and I still ended up with I think level 85-90 just by logging in once a day, remembering to do my daily tasks maybe once every 2-3 days, and doing the other easy tasks (A lot of which essentially amount to, "just play the game, they unlock themselves").

Our team is preparing new locations for the upcoming War Thunder update. Meet the "Iberian Castle", new location for mixed battles!

"Iberian Castle"


The new location “Iberian Castle” takes players to a tourist town on the eastern shores of the Balearic Sea. The main attraction of the town is the ruins of an ancient sea castle. Here, amongst the remains of castle walls and ruins of ancient buildings players will find the first zone of control over the location. The middle capture point is located right in the center of the town, in the labyrinth of crooked streets with arches and small squares.

New reserve aircraft comes to the US tech tree in the upcoming War Thunder update. Meet first photos and details!

BF2C-1, fighter, USA., rank I. Reserve aircraft.
Features:
  • Good turn rate
  • 4x100 lb bombs
  • Poor offensive armament
The BF2C-1 carrier-based fighter project was proposed by Curtiss to equip the new American aircraft carriers, which began to enter service with the US Navy in the early 1930s. Curtiss modified its Curtiss F11C Goshawk fighter, equipping the aircraft with a retractable landing gear and reinforced metal wings. Despite the good speed performance, the aircraft became less maneuverable due to the heavier weight. Nevertheless, the naval command placed an order for a small batch of fighter-bomber modifications, designated BF2C-1 Goshawk.... Read more

Soviet multiple-rocket launch system BM-31-12 will become the main prize of the upcoming Victory Day event in War Thunder.

BM-31-12, MLRS, USSR, rank III. Premium.
Features:
  • Deadly heavy rockets
  • Lacks direct fire
  • Light protection
Unguided 300-mm M-30 rockets were used by the Red Army since 1942 as a field artillery, being fired from metal frames right in the transporting containers. Soon, an upgraded version of the rocket appeared under the designation M-31 with an improved engine and a significantly increased range. Engineers from the special design bureau of the Moscow Kompressor plant designed a combat vehicle on the chassis of the US-built Studebaker US6 three-axle truck with a framework of 12 welded rails to launch these powerful rockets. The m... Read more


May 3rd is celebrated in Poland as Constitution Day. This historical document was adopted in 1791, way ahead of its time, and for generations May 3rd was a symbol of Poland’s struggle for independence and prosperity. Join us in War Thunder to celebrate this day!

In War Thunder you can find Polish vehicles in the research trees of other countries: for example, tank Sherman IC "Trzyniec" and destroyer ORP Garland in the British research tree, Leopard 2 PL is listed among the German tanks, and Bostwick’s P-47M-1-RE Thunderbolt fighter in the USA aviation branch.

From May 3rd (09:00 GMT) until May 5th (11:00 GMT)

Play 3 battles using British vehicles (rank III or higher, with an activity of not less than 70%) to receive the “Love Poland” decal.

Originally posted by GB: Lets say i have about 100mm of solid shot

Based on username, profile picture, and "solid shot", I'm going to guess something British, and something 2.7/3.0, fighting against a 3.7 ARL?

So like a 2pdr/6pdr on a Crusader?


If you --have-- to shoot at the front of it, your best bet is trying to hit the gun mantlet square (Immediately to the left/right of the gun barrel), or trying to sink one through the frontal hull plate as Lucky Star said.

Preferably, if you're in a smaller and more maneuverable tank, try to avoid the head-on confrontation to begin with (flank around the sides of the map/set up an ambush).

If you're shooting at the 5.3 version and have less than 100mm of penetration, your options become significantly worse. (A) Bust the barrel off, flank and kill from the side, (B) chance a shot right down the side of the barrel, where... Read more
