Hey there! Welcome to the game. That's War Thunder: realistic damage model for all vehicles. If your armor was penetrated and ammo hit, it's going to cause a big explosion and destroy you.

It can be frustrating at the beginning but it does take some getting used to. After experience, you'll also know exactly where to shoot and will know how to avoid being hit in these areas too.

Thank you everyone for your good responses! There's also a guide that one of our Steam players created and won through a Guide contest we ran a couple of years ago:

Is it only premium players that can win Golden Eagles from "Wheel of fortune" aka battle trophy and other similar bonuses?
Me as a non paying player(never have payed for this game and never will) have never got a opportunity to win Golden Eagles in this game EVER!!!
I just watched Malzi:s video on youtube, and he won 100 Golden Eagles.

Hi there! It's not only premium players that can get this, any player can. It's just extremely rare.

Hello! I appreciate that you may not like drones, however which ones (recon or attack drones)?

Drones will not be removed from the game, but we can have a discussion on them — in what ways would you improve them in their current form?

Hello! According to our statistics of vehicles, the Char 25t's efficiency is very high in battles, it's one of the higher ones at its rank. Because of this, its current BR of 8.0 is fitted for it. As always we'll monitor these stats and balance where needed.

However in the April 2024 BR changes, we have no plans to decrease its BR.

Hi, let me clarify that the M1 and Leopard we mentioned in the blog were just two examples of what we're working on. This doesn't mean that it's only for those two.

Hi, as said, it's only possible in Custom battles, where you'll need a mission created from WT.Live

Hi, as of now we have no plans to increase the level cap.

For me personally, it's the M18.

Hi, we currently don't have any plans to bring it back in its own event. However it may sometimes appear in special silver lion boxes, as it did with the Dragon Box: https://warthunder.com/en/news/8719-special-the-dragon-box-en

Originally posted by Mephisto: wait? another one? that soon? - I'm positively shocked. You are really going after them now?
please keep it up (and/or update EAC)

Yes. We mentioned some time ago that we've stepped up our ways in dealing with cheaters.

Hey there! The two items that were delayed in the 2024 Roadmap (in-game wishlist + gifting through it and integration of the Steam friends list) are still being worked on right now. It's likely that they'll both be coming soon, although no promises on this.

Originally posted by Tserleg: The frontal armament used to be angled slightly downwards, which was historically accurate and gave the plane a very distinctive "feel" when aiming (and a slightly lower risk of frontal collision) ; these last days however, the armament seems to have been aligned to a rather dull 0º. Do we know anything about this ?
Personal opinion : please bring back the angled cannon and MGs !

Hi! I see others have answered you, thanks guys! It was changed recently, here's the update notes for it if you are interested:

Hi there! You may have had a ground lineup with planes and then selected the ground battles gamemode. Make sure to select your aircraft, then under the "To Battle!" button click on the mode and change it to air battles.

Hey, there's no badges / items at the moment. Maybe in the future we'll consider adding them to Steam.

Hey guys! We've got some information for you here

Fox: Realistic BR from 7.0 to 7.7, rank moving up from IV to V.

Hey everyone, today we’re showing you the Battle Rating change proposals for the month of April!

There’s several Battle Rating changes for aircraft, ground vehicles and naval vessels.

The changes: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRdz2C08_QRD7PKxRyWWk0p722lzZsIQAwH05Ma5ACRgluyS_hMpdv0D4FWNOFFU8gkdGJEtc8fWEaA/pubhtml

Let us know your thoughts

We’re going to be reading your feedback on these changes, so please feel free to share your thoughts and any other suggestions that you may have.

The War Thunder Team

There isn't actually any map in the game at least in regular battles that has a D point.

Keeping the D point in the voice radio is for nostalgia :)
