War Thunder - PC - PS4 Launch Title

Re: War Thunder - PC - PS4 Launch Title

<b><big>Update 29.03.2016 (1.57.2.33)</b></big>

Today we would like to show you what is probably the best rendition of the sky that has ever been recreated in video games.

As well as this, the new system will make it possible to enable dynamic changes in the time of day for light conditions in certain game modes.

Also sky in the Dagor Engine 4 is astronomically correct which means that both the sun and the stars are correctly positioned in the sky according to latitude, time and the date (including polar nights and days) even the moon and constellations are positioned according to year, month, date and hour.

Pilots, tankers and now sailors!

We would like to announce the first open test of a sailing fleet in War Thunder. We introduce the first research tree for the Royal Navy and invite you to test the legendary ships of the Golden Age of Sail!

Currently the sailing fleet is available in the “events” tab in Arcade mode. After testing this type of battle we plan to introduce an “open world” that, unlike the existing one will be run directly by players and will be mostly PvE oriented. The players will have to cooperate against pirates that will appear randomly on the map, protecting their merchant vessels and caravans; attack the ships that carry gold, perform amphibious assaults, attack forts. However joining a fleet is not necessary - a player may keep all rewards to himself once he completes the task alone.

<b>War Thunder Update 1.59 "Flaming Arrows"</b>

Some new aircrafts like the British Wyvern S.4 carrier strike aircraft , and the USSR Yak-30D jet fighter. But the meat and potatoes of this update are the rockets, including the first ATGM-equipped tanks.

It was available only for a short while for beta. Not sure when this will be added to the game as another playing option yet.

Re: War Thunder - PC - PS4 Launch Title

Was wondering why VR was being delayed and remains in testing for PS4. Update v1.65 'Way Of The Samurai' (1.47 PS4) was released today. Among the features is the introductory of the Japanese tankers as well as two new maps for ground vehicles and aircrafts. But the real impressive feature is the inclusion of the 3D cockpit for all aircrafts! Check it out!

If you're asking about the 16th century battle fleets, no its not available on either platform yet. However, the WT Admin when answering questions last month did say, "Very Soon"


Those who battle on PC can go into beta now for the following seacrafts;

War Thunder is also introducing dedicated servers for a new simulator mode "Pacific War Events";

Dear players!

At 13:00 GMT February 23rd we will be launching a testing of the new event, where you can choose for yourself which battle you would like to join. Moreover after the battle ends you may still stay in the chosen room to join the next battle with the same team lineup.The mechanics are the same as in Custom Battles.

Mode features:

- Besides an option to join a random battle players also has an opportunity to choose a specific room for themselves.

- The available room list shows only those battles that have vacant places to join.

- A player is able to enter a room only if they have the required vehicles in their hangar slots. They also have an option to choose a specific battling party in case there is no significant advantage in the number of players by the opposite party.

- After the end of a battle, the room remains open and the next battle will start after a period of time automatically with the same participants.

- The next battle won’t start if the number of players on either sides does not meet the balance requirements - In such a case, a countdown will begin and if the teams do not meet the balance requirements before it ends, the room will be disbanded.

- The room description shows the time passed after its creation. A player may join a room any time as soon as they meet the requirements.

- Battles created in such rooms provide the same rewards and achievements as in any other events.

Re: War Thunder - PC - PS4 Launch Title

Looks like PS4 and Xbox players will be playing cross play after all. Love it when there's new blood introduced into the fray. Jealous of Xbox X players who should maintain a constant 60fps and 4k resolution. Will complain hard if Sony attempts to stop it which they probably can't.


War Thunder Coming to Xbox One and One X



New update v1.71 New ERA is the inclusion of new tanks and armored vehicles from the Cold War Era between NATO and Soviets into the game.
