Honestly, I do like it. Played a couple of arcade battles, just to get used to it, but ended up with simulation battles. Still have a bunch of bugs and bad map design, but I had a lot of amazing moments, like charging through an artillery barrage on the plains of Kursk and such. The whole thing feels much more real than WOT, no magic disappearing tanks, you really need to aim etc. Had to turn off grass to have good fps, but thats not a biggie. Effects are superb, flames erupting from tanks, dirt and tower cones flying... really immerse. If they polish the bugs, create a good mission editor, I am sold. I like WOT, but its just too much a game for me, Steel Fury is too cumbersome, this one is the winner now.

Did you miss the 1.39 patch ? 1.41 was 1.5GB for me. May be you haven't ran the launcher in a while. Yes I did.I initially installed War Thunder but frankly I have no interest in the aircraft part of it.I wanted the armour. I just played 30 minutes the airplanes and then waited for the ground forces to become available.Thus I probably missed a couple of updates. Finally after downloaing the update I was able to play the training mission but when I tried playing a mission I got a message that my installation was corrupt and missing files and that I would need to download 700 mbs worth of update!!! Well I think that at this rate I am likely to be playing more Red Orchestra 2 than WT.....

I hate WoT but I would like to give this a go, having tank battles with planes fighting it out above and bombing you will be cool.

This game looks pretty but that's about it.
I never played WoT, but I can only imagine this is basically the same thing.
Giant red outlines around enemy vehicles that you can see across the mail. Basically a billboard that says SHOOT ME! No tactics required, just pay $$ to win.
This is why I avoid these types of games.

It is implemented, I am playing simulation mode. No outlines or icons above the nme tanks, and no aiming aid.

You *are* playing in arcade mode, after all.
Usually in the higher modes (realistic and simulation) all the aids tend to be turned off. Not sure if they have been implemented in Ground Forces yet.
The only difference between Arcade and Realistic is that teams no longer have mixed nations (DE/SU) Simulation mode...good luck finding a game. It normally takes a minimum of five minutes.

Downloaded it for fun. The models are well done the sounds are pretty good As for realism very poor, but I reckon this could be improved by setting up a password protected Game And only allowing other armour enthusiasts by invitation. SB or Steel Fury. it will never be but all the same I think with some like minded players it could be fun. Agreed. Finding Simulation game mode matches is very difficult now

In SB, it's really fun and enjoyable especially on the more realistic maps... like Kursk or Kuban. Unlocking is quite OK without to spend money and it's a pleasure to play at low level... not steel beast or steel fury but not too rotten on simulation mode... it will be real fun when the smaller tank maps will be integrated into the bigger air maps... when the threat will not just be on the ground but up in the air too...
I agree that we don't need markers nor semi radar in SB mode... and cockpit only plus visor would make the fun even better in this mode.

Make sure you select ANY SERVERS to get quicker match... and generally playing Russian gets you in action quicker...
What is your favorite tank ATM? I just max upgraded a T-28 and I am trying the same with a T-50 with its quicker reloading rate...

I think the realistic (hardware and gameplay speaking) plan will be to integrate the smaller tank square maps in bigger square Air battle map... Afterall WT is a quick action game, if you have to wait 1-2 hours(traveling time) to engage in combat most of the current players will just not play it.

At Private Noob; have you tried to see if there are any i44(Arma 2) servers?That's a good alternative to Iron Front.

I think its fine, as long as the tanks spawn close to the frontline. If you check the current big maps for planes, ground forces are already engaged when we get to them, so its just the question of cleverly positioned spawnpoints. Hope they do it soon, I hate some of the current tank maps, some of them are ok, only kursk is really fine. My question is, that will they increase the max player numbers to have the same amount of planes on the map and tank players are on top of it?
