Today we’re very happy to introduce the long awaited T77E1 SPAAG for the American ground forces tree! This addition will be finding its way into a lot of lineups when it arrives as part of the next major update.

T77E1: An SPAA for the USA at Rank II At a glance:
  • Six .50 cals!
  • Fast turret traverse and high elevation angles, can fire 85 degrees upwards.
  • Gunner and Commander are exposed, but both can fire the guns.
  • Limited anti-tank ability, but great at defeating unarmored vehicles.
Vehicle History
[expand type=details]
Development started in July of 1943, when a new SPAAG based on the M24 Chaffee was requested, a modern design at the time which proved to be a malleable platform for additional development opportunities. A mockup was created in Decembe... Read more

Hello everyone.

As a rule, we do not comment on rumors and speculations of the community regarding War Thunder, because most of you are much more interested in learning about new features and changes from trailers and patch notes. But this time we could not ignore the statement made about increasing the cost of ammunition and reducing silver earnings by 50%. We did not have such plans in the past and do not have them now. Moreover, as part of the roadmap, we did just the opposite - increased silver lion earnings, and also reduced ammunition costs, and therefore do not plan to revert these changes.

Hi! For this one, you have to shoot down the carrier while they are still carrying the nuke. If they dropped the nuke and then you shot them down, you won't get the reward.

Last I used the F-105 in SIM EC, I would try finding smaller lobbies (like 3-5 players on each side), and I tried avoiding others. Obviously, if someone wants to engage you, your best defense is speed. (Edit: Generally, I would run without my radar running so enemies would not get pings from me, and just keep an eye on where friendlies were. Sometimes you can collect enemy players with the 9E's who aren't paying attention once your napalm has been dropped.)

I don't think I ever tried using the bomb release permissions or mission targeting points, I just set the ballistic sight to bombs and used it to bomb with napalm. minibases, start at maybe 3-4km and throttle down a bit to have time to make any adjusting maneuvers, and for airfields, make sure that you stay above ~5km, the SAM's don't engage targets that high. The F-105 can avoid the SAM's with maneuvers, but all the same, I just as soon prefer to not have them shoot at me.

Personally, I enjoyed the A7's more... Read more

Originally posted by HighPilot: I will return the favor even if it wasn't me killed. EVERY TIME. if you go in Sim, please take the time to foster the growth of a couple of usable braincells. But, if you don't, I have zero use for silver lions. So, I will gladly and proudly kill you.
TeamKilling is against the rules. No matter if you TK a TK or not, you are still breaking the rules and you will be punished by the system.
Please do not use TK as a method to punish people who break the rules. If you see someone rule breaking in the game, please use in game complain system.
Cheers!

Hi, you can change the color in the spawn menu while in battle.

If you are talking about the tricolor smoke, as of now this is not obtainable, it is rare and was only available in specific events.
