Why are the Tigers so bad now?

Originally posted by davidj123456: I play a lot of 5.7 Russia with my KV220. Whenever I encounter a Tiger from literally any range it’s just a joke to kill. Even when it angles perfectly you just aim for the left or right side of the upper front plate which, even when the tiger is perfectly angled, is maximum 115mm thick and has literally all the crew and often an ammo rack behind it. This weak spot is flat and obscenely easy to hit from any range.

The Panther feels more armored than the Tiger 1. The KV220, IS1, ARL44, Sherman Jumbo etc all actually feel like well armored tanks. Meanwhile the Tiger just feels like an easy tank to kill.

Is it just me?

Angle your armour

Finnish and Norwegian, south african and may more's vehicles, planes/tanks/vessels etc should have their own voices/voice lines in their own language!

I guess this is a hard and proably expensive thing to do, bout it would make thw game much better, amd the feeling when playing better

Mabye add extra voicelines wich might be more unique?

Having swedish or brithish crew voices ofvwr those vehicles feels so wrong lol

Potential, and as far as i can see, it will only have a positive outcome

Hi, devs are aware of these issues and are working on adding the others.

Zimbabwe Independence Day

Post


During the dissolution of the British Empire one of its colonies, South Rhodesia, decided to declare its independence unilaterally. This led to it being unrecognized by other countries during its entire existence. In 1979 it returned under British protectorate, and after elections on April 18th, 1980, it became independent again, this time under the name Zimbabwe.

To celebrate the Independence day of Zimbabwe, from April 18th (11:00 GMT) until April 21st (11:00 GMT), the Hunter FGA.9 of the Rhodesian Air Force will be available for purchase for Golden Eagles.

This temporary solution is against the sharply increased number of players using game process automation to upgrade their game account.

Newbie helicopter questions

War Thunder isn't for fun VR heli experience, helis are literally just a cashgrab milking gimmick

I mean, people do enjoy Heli VR in WT. This is some of the most popular heli VR gameplay here:

Newbie helicopter questions

Comment
    magazine2 on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Originally posted by Bullett00th: I've never played WT, I don't know if ever will play WT, but I'm looking for a VR combat helicopter experience.

My questions:
- Do I have to grind to get a heli, and how long?
- If I can buy my way to a heli, how much will it cost me?
- Will it take a lot of practice for comfortable flight? I've flown Elite Dangerous and IL-2 in VR. Helis - only in Battlefield and with keyboard+mouse.
- Are there practice modes with bots or static targets?
- Will it perform ok with my hardware?

My hardware:
- i7-7700k
- GTX 1080
- 16gb RAM
- Hotas-X joystick
- Oculus Rift CV1

Much appreciated!

- Do I have to grind to get a heli, and how long?
Yes you need to grind helicopters. Helicopters become available for research and purchase only with the ownership of at least one Rank 5 vehicle of a nation that has helicopters. Bu... Read more

You can't play offline, but the game is friendly - you can try the mechanics in arcade mode which will help you in-game with where to aim and such.

The only thing missing in changelogs is what they broke after the update/fix.

Then it will be fixed the following It's Fixed ;) It's a never ending cycle with game and software development.
