You have provided zero evidences. War Thunder uses several methods to fight cheaters, one of which is EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat) - a well-known and effective tool for fighting cheaters. If you think you have encountered someone cheating in the game, please let us know via a report using server replay: https://warthunder.com/en/tournament/replay/ This will allow the Game Master to check the whole situation and if he actually notices cheating, such a player will be punished. Thanks!

A new British top-tier main battle tank comes equipped with a new power plant and improved mobility.


Challenger 2E, main battle tank, Britain, rank VII


Features:

Improved dynamics and top speed


Thermal vision for the commander, gunner and driver views


Good protection at the turret front




History



The Challenger 2E is a further development of the British main battle tank series that was created in the late 1990s for export to other countries, primarily Greece. The tank was equipped with new sights for the commander and gunner, as well as improved driving performance. As a power plant for this version, a new power pack was used, which included the MTU MT883 diesel engine and automatic transmission. In 2005, due to the lack of orders for this modification o...

As explained numerous times - there is no technical, non-resource-intensive option to create replay, where you will be able to rewind time like on video. Replay is not a video. If we would implement such option, each replay file would take huge amount of space on your drive.

We have implemented "sections" on replays year ago:

You just showed you did not even check it.

It's not "literally same map".

Lake is frozen = no longer an obstacle for 99% of tanks.

Sniper hills are different, many other minor changes in terrain.

Before you create any more posts on our forum, please re-read forum rules and obey them please.

Yeah, looks like there is a bug. I just tried few times and normally, on regular mission, that would fits, here, even on really slow approach, my engine dies every time.

You can try to fulfill it on arcade.


PS. Hope you know you do not need to do all steps one by one, you can approach carrier right from the start of the mission, no need to fly through yellow rings.

Hi! Welcome to Thunder Show and the most beautiful moments of the past week. It’s great when the plan you’ve made carries out, but more often than not the most memorable situations are when everything happens unexpectedly. Are you ready for some surprises? Let’s get started!









Don't forget - you can now activate video subtitles for seven languages!


So, what do you do if something incredible happens in your battle that deserves to appear in Thunder Show?

While in the game, go to “Community > Replays” and find the replay.


Press the “Rename” button and give it a memorable name.


Open the Replays folder in the game folder: search for the file with the name you have just given it.


Attach the file to an email and send it to [email...

Heat
seekers
on missiles are now able to react to the heat signatures of jet aircraft engines in various run modes.



Hey guys! We’d like to unveil details of the recent improvement in the mechanics of acquiring the thermal signatures of jet engines by missile seekers. The fact is that the picture of the intensity and distribution of heat from an aircraft jet engine directly depends on its operational mode. So, in non-afterburning modes, the intensity of the plumes of hot gasses in the forward hemisphere of an aircraft is low and comparable to the intensity of the glow of a heated fuselage skin.






At the same time, the expanding flame of burning fuel in afterburner modes has a significant luminosity not only in the rear, but also in the front hemispheres of the aircraft.




The lock-on range of infrared homing he...

First work-in-progress images of the new locations from the upcoming War Thunder update!


“Pyrenees”








The new location for air battles “Pyrenees” invites you to the mountainous area of the Principality of Andorra. Small villages with farm fields are spread upon valleys, ancient castles and medieval abbeys compete for the most picturesque view of the surroundings, and the clear water of the mountain lakes sparkle bright in the green hued highlands. Visit the "Pyrenees" in your combat aircraft, it's so beautiful here!


Winter “Seversk-13”








The winter version of one of the most mysterious locations in War Thunder. Russian winter has come to the abandoned town, but the air raid warning is still heard, disturbing news about the ...

On February 16th, 1967 the Bo 105 multi-purpose helicopter, created by Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm, took to the air for the first time.




The Bo 105 pioneered a hingeless rotor system, received over 20 modifications and is still widely used in many countries across the globe.




To celebrate this date, the Bo 105 CB-2 will be available for purchase with Golden Eagles in the German tech tree from February 16 (11:00 GMT) until February 20 (11:00 GMT).

The chance of radar lock transfer on nearby targets has been decreased, which means more stable target tracking.


Launch range of R-530, R-27R and R-27T missiles has been slightly increased.


Launch range of R-530F and R-530D missiles have been increased.


AIM-9L - field of view of the seeker has been increased from 2.5 to 3.6 degree, max lock angle increased from 17 to 40 degrees, tracking rate reduced from 36 to 22 degrees per second (report)


Missiles with IR seekers now have separately calculated lock-on distances on afterburner plumes. Afterburner target acquisition range to the front hemi-sphere has been increased for all-aspect missiles. Cooled-cell rear aspect missiles are now able to lock on targets on a collision course.

The current provided changelog reflects the major changes within the game as part of...

Task draws are always made from the full pool. The fact that you previously had the same task does not make any difference. The task pool is not diminished by the currently active task.

It's not.

Most probably you are seeing some old ads of Battle for Arachis.
