We have a small surprise to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the first human space flight! π
@ODST_Parker Pretty sure it was made as a joke, to test how far they could go. Turn out, too far. π
81 years ago, the XF5F Skyrocket undertook its maiden flight. Despite its excellent performance and favorable reports from test pilots, the experimental twin engine naval fighter never made it to production due to certain mechanical and mostly logistical problems.
If you got one of those fancy gamer mouse with extra buttons, you can change DPI on the fly. Use it! Helps a lot to pixel hunt π
In 1989, 32 years ago, the Air Defense Anti-Tank System (ADATS, first appeared. True to its name, it could engage both air and armored ground targets using its multipurpose missiles and 25 mm autocannon. Despite this, the US Army canceled the project due to excessive expenses.
Too cool to look at the explosion, huh? π
@Handsito25 Contact the support asap, they should be able to help you :x
60 years ago, a human reached space for the first time! We have special event dedicated to the anniversary of Yuri Gagarinβs historic flight! π π
β‘ MikeGoesBoom & Oxy will be streaming War Thunder today on our official Youtube & Twitch channels! β
@Brendan84412802 It's closed right now. We only open the dev servers when we have major updates or special tests.
Enlisted moved to Open Beta yesterday, and you can now join for free! To celebrate, we're having Twitch Drops until Monday! π
@Maskediop3 The shockwave and pressure from large explosions can be strong enough to kill crew members from a distance. This was recently added in the game.
@shcdoodle You... should go to the hospital.
Patch today! A fix for overpressure damage, and a new reticle for rocket vehicles, showing grids and distance markers to match the ballistics of the rockets. πΆ π
An update on the steam game download. The good news, War Thunder on Steam will now update via the Steam Client. The bad news, this feature made steam users re-download the game, and this was not intended. π
An update on this issue: https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/521313-re-downloading-of-the-game-files-on-steam/&ct=1617881456
@ChrisWGamble Nothing to do if it's already downloaded, you can just play.
@ChrisWGamble Nope! Your progress is saved online.
@Kenneth06508660 @gizo_snowcry Nope. You don't have to do anything if you had the game from the website.
@gizo_snowcry If you let the game update, it will just override the data and that's it.
