Re: War Thunder - PC - PS4 Launch Title

Loving the new update v1.77 Advancing Storm. Using the new Dagor engine 5.0, the weather and landscape graphics have gone through a major overhaul. Most impressive is the audio upgrades, and the distinct sounds between machine gun, cannon, and rocket sounds. With the headphones on the explosions occurring in 3D is fantastic. Two dozen new vehicles including five tanks at the 6th rank: Т-64B, M1 Abrams, Challenger, Leopard 2K and AMX-30 Brenus were added.

Nice surprise to find after returning from vacation. Adding the skies of Vietnam as a new air map is also sweet. “The Valkyries” update is now my cherry-on-top.

Previous update included Xbox players to the war. Gaijin says xbox and PS players are not on the same servers. I think its bull and we are. If there's any xbox players with the game want to help test this out, I'm game.

Re: War Thunder - PC - PS4 Launch Title

Is there a way to play with the modern vehicles (tanks & helo's) right away with the Vietnam or Middle Eastern maps? Or do I have to grind all the way to whatever rank I need to research them?

You can always purchase Add-Ons. There are many so make sure you give yourself the time to shop for your right choice.

However, to console players it can be done. I can tell you I started free. Made only 2 $5 purchases for golden eagles and have accumulated the higher classes of the German and US arsenal as well as rank. The others are strong too.

One of the coolest new events (and I'm sure Xbox1 players can now do) we sometimes get are WW2 events with planes and tanks you can only use during that era. One mission had planes from Japan take off from the Akagi, fly to Wake, bomb and clear the skies against players of US planes defending the base. My job was to bomb a target at Wake, defend our torpedo planes, and return to my carrier with the amount of fuel I had.

Re: War Thunder - PC - PS4 Launch Title

Looks like putting some of you Xbone pilots down last month was true........

It's true. Xboxone and PS4 players were engaged in battle. I want Gajin to add me to the list of asking people asking Sony to lift this separation in here too!

Must say, adding sea to arieal battles have really been excellent. Nothing like using a torpedo diver having it slam into a battleship. Wish and hope to see carriers in the future.

Got the special decal for 6 years with WT. The P-38 (Stacy) is again the decorated recipient.

Re: War Thunder - PC - PS4 Launch Title

<b><big>Gaijin Entertainment announces that the Open Beta of War Thunder’s anticipated World War mode is starting today.</b></big>

The new game mode gives players the opportunity to re-enact famous battles of World War II, to follow in history’s footsteps or change its course completely.

In game, these battles are organized in ‘Operations’, which are based on real world events and combat campaigns, such as the Battle of El Alamein or Battle of Vitebsk. Commanders of either side can move air- and ground armies on a strategic map, and when those armies meet, their clash is resolved by a battle session between players.

Results of said battles can have significant effects on the outcome of the Operation, as the defeated side retreats and loses vehicles or even full regiments. An Operation can take up to two hours to complete, depending on the decisiveness of its battles.

Only Squadron Commanders, leaders of War Thunder’s player communities, can initiate the launch of a new Operation, but everyone is allowed to participate – both squadron members as well as the general playerbase.

The list of available vehicles in each Operation is limited by historical context, meaning it is not possible to fly a jet fighter over the skies of El Alamein or ride a Japanese tank to battle at Vitebsk.

If a player participating in the Operation has vehicles fitting to the historical context, he will be able to take his specific vehicle including crew and modifications.

If a player does not own any of the required vehicles, he or she can still participate by receiving a vehicle in its basic modification. This means that participation is open to both veteran players as well war history fans that are still new to War Thunder.

Each operation consists of various battles with differing tasks and available vehicles. Modes include assault, defence, convoy attacks, cover missions as well as head-on confrontations featuring both ground and air forces.

The vital link between battles is the strategic map, where commanders may e.g. send an air army to assist ground forces, making aircraft available for one side what previously seemed to be a ground battle only.

The diversity of different mission types as well as the asymmetry between relative team power and objectives will open a new experience to players, offering an exciting alternative to War Thunder’s regular PvP battles.

The World War mode is a season-based event, with the first already running until June 10, with the best players set to receive additional rewards. The full schedule of the season and more information about War Thunder is available on the official website.
