War Thunder Dev Tracker

Originally posted by LordBUM: there is nothing fair or balanced about this just stop what was the point in adding another br if your going make them fight 10.0 anyway.

This is basically just a cyclical issue that is here to stay. For as long as there is a tiering system that contains more than one tier, and a match making system that allows any spread at all, it will be a problem. Always.

Even if the entire system was reserves and 1.3. Or 1.3 and 1.7. etc etc. Then there's the argument that even within the same BR level, it's merely an approximation, and that even at the exact same BR level, that there are the sheep and the wolves.

I tend to agree with Nova, that while there is certainly a performance gap within 10-11 BR that I personally feel it is less noticeable than at lower BR's.

Originally posted by Maelstrom: As other people mention they use a purely algorithmic based system using player stats. And *actual* player stats not ones listed on places like Thunderskill or some such crap.

The fact remains it is a very good tank for it's BR, and it can't reasonably go higher with the current BRs. So - it has a high repair cost.

@OP: There's your answer ^^^^^^^.

There's a paradigm shift at ~6.0-8.0 where the "WWII Heavies" which nations thought to be the future of combat/necessary, were replaced by main battle tanks, basically light/medium tanks with very, very high velocity guns.

Heavies can kill these MBT's, however, their 'strength' quickly becomes a handicap because they are n... Read more

Dear Steam players!
For unknown reasons, Steam have started downloading the game files again.
In order not to download existing files again, you can use the following:

Pause the download of the game on Steam client.

Find the folder with the War Thunder game and rename it (for example, as “War Thunder1”).

On Steam client, uninstall the War Thunder game.

Rename the game folder back to its original name.

On Steam, find the War Thunder game and click "install".

Steam will check the files and download the missing ones, if necessary, so you can continue to play.

Sorry gents!
Unfortunately we don't know what happened. Steam is redownloading the same files.
May be it is somehow depends on enabling steam download and disabling automatic updates via launcher (that was the most popular requests from steam players).
But that is unclear how this things are connected.
Version is the same.
Steam just decided to download files.
We are trying to get to Valve about the issue.
If it will happen again - we'd ask Valve to disable steam updates again.
Sorry for inconvenience again

PS People say that this works:

1. pause the update on steam
2. go to your WT folder, rename the folder to other things like "War Thunder old"
3. uninstall war thunder from steam
4. rename the folder back to just "War Thunder"
5. Reinstall the game back on steam on the same path as before, and it should identify the
old files

3. В Steam удалите игру War Thunder.
