On hold due to Sony's patching process last I saw.

Well there was a repot a week or two ago that the release was supposedly imminent. However, the patching info you mentioned is consistent with what I had heard earlier. It is still ridiculous that no official word had been sent.

I think that report you fellas were mentioning was vague. However, I think I almost interpret one saying, without saying...

Gaijin wants to integrate the PC and PS4 environments. This means they want to release the patch in their terms so that neither console group would have any benefits from immediate enhancements. SCEA delays the patch implementation through their tests and QA process before going into implementation. Gaijin finds this delay as irritating, especially when they need to make immediate fixes.

Gaijin has on their website some possible future enhancements. I believe this is a 1.39 version that's soon to be released. I don't have any info there either but I believe I read somewhere that it was delayed again and I think April was a new date. However, I think they want to release this patch first before implementing on the PS4 US server. 2 eggs that I just threw on the board

This patch may or may not be delayed due to beta testing or SCEA regulations but its a bummer that its preventing many of you gamers from playing an amazing aero-combat experience on the PC and or PS4!

Oh, see you chaps at the Officer's Club. The game promoted me to Lieutenant

What I'd read is that the patch process would force every user to re-download the entire game whenever they patched - which would suck.

Not sure why this is the case with War Thunder and not other games, probably why they've wedged PC-style patchers into their ps4 releases.

Same thing I read. What gets me is you cannot get a solid answer from either Sony or Gaijin. Certainly horrible customer support and if I wasn't able to download and play the European version I would be livid: War Thunder was announced as a launch title, or at least to be available near launch and was one of the main reasons I went PS4 at launch. Don't get me wrong, I love my PS4 and I am glad I have it, but War Thunder was basically promised to be available to us long before now.

I know some planes just aren't made to perform that way, but I am now unlocking tier III American planes and haven't come upon any that can. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I remembered this post from a while ago and wanted to add one more thing which has helped me in dogfights:
If you are in a one-on-one battle and it has become a turning contest, use you flaps! Press right on the D-pad to lower them and they will add drag and allow you to turn more sharply. I used this multiple times today and it helped me, no doubt. Great for tighter turns or to help stay on the tail of a plane that is trying to shake you, even when it is changing speeds rapidly and maneuvering like crazy. Just be ready to lower/raise them as needed for maneuverability or speed.

That is the PC version

Recently moved my last team (Luftwaffe) into Rank 2. If Rank 1 was addictive, all I can say is that Rank 2 is off the charts. Say goodbye to the late 1920's - 1937 planes and hello to a new decade in Rank 2 with some WW2 Thunder!

Don't fly much in the dark so I decided to take a still shot given the chance. A night time mission and my Hurricane1 is hungry and looking for red meat!
