The overall weather condition might be the same for everyone but the cloud positions are NOT.

The "revelation" can be confirmed by playing in a squad, streaming your game and comparing with another friend.

Also if I had a dollar for every time the enemy tracked me perfectly(aiming) through a cloud...
I am not saying that each cloud is same (they are generated by procedures AFAIK).
But your idea that some players got clouds and some do not, or some got smoke and some not is imho very wrong and that's why I asked where you took it.

Can you imagine a competitive game like Counter Strike having the smoke grenade effect showing for some players but not others? Does that make sense to you?
What? Clouds are visible for everyone and are located in same place on the map for all players. What do you mean?
Where you took that revelations?

2nd one helps to achieve 1st. But it's not better.

If you have option to cap point or destroy enemy tank, you should almost always cap the point - because of reasons i stated earlier.

In my case the overwhelming majority of wins are due to ticket bleed, not due to "there are no active enemy player left" or what's the name of it (it's so rare that I do not even remember how it goes).


So, destroying enemy is important, but capping point is more important and more rewarding.

If you think that current clouds are worse than 2015 and they are "pixelated" it's either your hardware/software issue or typical "de gustibus non est disputandum" which ends the topic for me :steamthumbsup:

Please provide server replay to support your claims.
In majority of case, players call cheats on legit kills, because it's hard for them to admit, that someone is better than they. There is also a lot of moments, when you simply do not know what enemy saw and you observe situation only from your PoV which is different than enemy PoV.
Server replay allows you to check all battles from any perspective. Launch it, switch on enemy who killed you and use camera no.2 - you will see exactly what he saw.

Can you provide screenshot? Because AFAIK right now clouds in WT are on top level and comparable with top AAA games.

HMS Glorious is a WWI-era British battlecruiser purpose-built for an ambitious plan to defeat Germany through a naval invasion on its eastern flank. Despite the plan itself never materialising, the ships necessary for it did and thus captains will soon have the chance to take command of this highly unorthodox warship design, arriving in War Thunder as part of the next major update “Fire and Ice”!

Briefly: An extremely lightly armoured but nimble British battlecruiser design, sporting 15’’ cannons.

HMS Glorious, battlecruiser, Britain, Rank V
Features:
  • Powerful 15’’ cannons
  • Very thin belt armour
  • Excellent mobility
  • Numerous secondary guns
  • Weak AA protection

Russia has a perfectly capable top rank SPAA. China does not. Russia can wait a little while to receive another SPAA in that department.

Additional jettison rocket engines that helps during take-off.

You can check your controls - you can (or already have) bind special key to use them.

After you speed up a little on airstrip, launch them, they will give you additional speed during take-off. After few seconds they will run out of fuel and drop.

If you don't want an order you can simply use it in battle or just leave it and forget about it.

Deleting such items has never been an option in the game and likely wont be for the foreseeable future.

USA M4A3 (105) can't be damaged from the front meaning it's a 100% loss every time i run into it so when i play 1.7 and get uptiered it's an instant loss on my side ty gaijn :)))))))

That's how the shells and guns work for the British tanks. You need to learn where to aim on the enemy to kill them with those shells. It can be a bit more difficult than other nations, but it's doable. What British tanks in particular are you having trouble with, though?

You'll have to wait and see.
