Char 2C is a superheavy French interwar tank, equipped with 155-mm howitzer. The apex predator of the low ranks!


Char 2bis, heavy tank, France, rank I. Premium.


Features:


Very durable


Deadly HE shells


Low speed


Challenging ballistics




History



Development of the super-heavy assault tank the Char 2 began in 1917 amidst World War I. With a nod to the combat experience of the French army, the tank was designed to break through the heavy enemy defenses with a high rhombic hull and was equipped with a “tail” to overcome trenches and obstacles. With a mass of 70 tons and a high level of protection, the maximum speed of the tank did not exceed 15 km/h, and its reliability was very poor. Of the 300 uni...

In War Thunder, the Premium Char 2C will become one of the most exotic armored vehicles available. This interwar behemoth is the largest mass-produced tank in history. With a short-barreled 155 mm howitzer, good armor and a crew of 12 (sic!) members, the Char 2C will become the real king of the low ranks!

It doesn't replicate for me. So other members of the team are also trying to replicate.



As we have already explained, the figure comes from the official GR.1 manual.



It's arsenal may be expanded if particular types of weponary currnently not in game are ever added.

There is only one version of MiG-29 on live server, so if both you and him are playing on live server - vehicles are same.

Comment

Feedback on the matter has been continually passed and we will continue to do so. However at this time, the devs do not wish to provide AIM-9L to the F-4F as that would likely require a BR increase. This was the situation before the patch and the most up to date answer I can provide at this time.


The matter of the EJ Kai having them at 11.3 is more likely to lead to that aircraft getting a BR increase. However if the situation changes once we have a clearer view of the statistics we will update the response if there is something to be changed.

Thanks for your report. Forwarded for review

The F.2 would have no countermeasures or RWR. Its also an entirely different visual model, so its not exactly a very little issue at all and it would be a massive underestimation of the work required to label it as such. We are well aware of the desires to see an ADV variant, thats why we made it clear from the moment the GR.1 was announced that one was coming. But the GR.1 was always going to be the first variant to come to the game.


We don't only introduce new top fighters to the game. The GR.7 was currently the best aircraft in Air RB statistically up until yesterday in terms of efficiency and even now its still holding strong.


Frustration is one thing, but we do appear to be going round in circles in this topic with very little progress made. Some of those shouting the loudest haven't even flown the aircraft yet. Plus the added claims of things being wrong without any evidence or reports for me or anyone else ...

Thank you. I was checking the community bug site. Will forward that now.

We are treating and handling every properly reported issue seriously. Many of which were fixed on the dev server. Airspeed at sea level and the engines are however correct. So im not sure why this keeps being repeated. Crabbing, a report was made and its being processed. No reports have been made on the slats.


Its not comparable to the F-14? Nobody claimed it was. Again, you are comparing a multi-role strike fighter to a BVR armed carrier fighter.


If its BR requires a change, it will be done. But again, these comparisons of Tornado Vs F-16/14 are meaningless. You wouldnt directly compare a Lancaster to a Bf 109, so im not sure why you would use that context here for anything other than the fact they are on the same BR. Which can change.



This aircraft was not "rushed out". There are always teething issues with new aircraft and new technologies and develo...

You are comparing a multirole strike aircraft directly to an air defence interceptor using two player examples. Again, the developers are monitoring the situation and will make any changes required that are shown, but really this comparison is meaningless.

Comment

Statistics were not the only thing or even the major thing used here:


This was primarily a response to lots of the feedback on the aircraft and also just giving a general extra bit of information onto the development of the aircraft, our plans and letting people know we are following feedback.


Also quite a few more people are playing Rank VIII than you make out.

Comment

Firstly, its a different context and situation with the MiG-29 situation as its referring to the air-to-air aspect being an air superiority fighter, which the Tornado is not, and the F-16 ADF was also added.


Regarding the Tornado, the devs are reviewing the situation, but again, there isn't any armaments to add other than the addition of the 2 Paveways under the wings. Which is being discussed currently.


Once a conclusion is made, then its BR will be the next thing to review if any changes are made based on how it performs then, if that takes place.

Comment

The MiG-29 is not going down in BR, which is what was being asked for here that I said was too soon for.


As the post also states, which I also said earlier:

Post

Dear Players!


We are carefully reviewing the feedback from players, looking at the statistics and playing ourselves on the new Ranks. At the moment, the statistics are not entirely clear - for example, the MiG-29 is worse than all the F-16s, the American F-16 ADF is the best according to the statistics of the first day with more sorties than the MiG-29, while being exactly the same as the Italian F-16 ADF, which has statistics similar to that of MiG-29 with a much smaller number of sorties (usually the fewer sorties - the less popular the aircraft, the more enthusiastic people play it - the better the statistics).


Regarding the R-27T missiles and their countermeasure resistance, the game has 2 available mechanics:


1) Dual-band photodetector - This works as a filter on the frequency of the flares signature. If a flares enters the field of view of the seeker head tracking the target, ...
