War Thunder - Tanks

Hey the www.warthunder.com mmo combat ww2 game have shown tank trees

thanks downloading now

oh they are not in the game yet

Whats the deal with the tanks? I'm too lazy to sift through all the forums over at WarThunder.

Are they coming soon? If so, how will they be implimented?

That could be something interesting. Is anyone Dogfighting with game and is having fun?

Yes and Yes

are they for targeting or for what purpose?

Some kind of world of tank clone?

They are going for a combined air - land - sea game with a World of Tank business system (xp and level grind, micro transactions etc).
It's ambitious, but I would rather see them deliver a great flight simulation experience first - there's already a huge number of planes for them to model, and many need their flight models done or fixed, and I'm not sure have dozens and dozens of tanks and boats is going to help us in term of simulation fidelity and content variety (my hopes for a better coop and single player experience is diminishing when I see these developments which will surely take them all of their time to develop).

As the the armor and other land vehicles are AI when one is flying, when one would be in an armored vehicle the planes would be flown by AI. There is not enough members connected at the same time to recreate an original battle in which all vehicles would be only manned by humans. The flight model, graphics and map seem similar to IL-2.

Liking the look of the tanks, War Thunder is one of my favorite games, although I'm not a tank nut this would strengthen that love even more.



It's quite likely that they have different people working on the different sections, i.e the same people are still working on planes, while others are now working on the tanks and others on the boats. So they will still be working on fleshing out and perfecting the air even while these tanks are being developed.

Looking forward to seeing how they combine them, even more so to doing strafing runs of real players

Well, I don't know when we will see armor manned by human. The Plane MMO, eventhaugh is good, is still in its infancy. A lot needs to be completed unless it is just another Arcade game. The Historical Battles part needs to be sorted out and some flight physics have to be perfected. I think that once the plane part is completed, they will move toward the armor part. Any other way would be very disapointing.

This is part of the armor closed BETA!...Did you have legal clearance to publish it?

"World of Tanks" worth playing ? Was going to check it out.

..they are Fan made, not Official. Can't believe everything you see on the net these days even about games.

Teaser

not much to see..

I find it fun, a decent mix of role playing, twitch shooter, strategy and teamwork all rolled into one.

Some Screenshoots:

Maybe the War Thunder Tiger will be more Tiger-ey and fierce compared to the World of Tanks Tiger, which is a giant xp turkey for the enemy to riddle full of holes in it's tissue paper armour. The screenshots above certainly look nice.

Also, never ever start playing World of Tanks. Seriously, don't start. Do yourself a favour. It's ok-ish, but unless you're some kind of demi-god when it comes to controlling your own frustration levels, don't do it. Fire an awesome gun into the paper Hellcat front plate? - 'that one bounced!' What!?!? Encounter enemy T49 in your Stug - instantly get tracked by his first shot as he flies by you (always). At least they sort of cured your bullets coming sideways out your barrel in the 8.6 update now, one of my pet hates.

Some more WOT pain - not to be taken too seriously, but if you've played you may smile
Crazy grindfest
Horrible, horrible stock tanks, associated with the above
'They dinged us!' What? Didn't I just ding them?
Arty rain-o-doom.
Crazy fast scouts that fly all over the map, aka AMX ELC, Pz1C. Bastards.
World-o-Russian tank bias (hint - go for the KV1-Sport, grind the 122mm!)
Random number Trolling - catch fire at the worst time ever, crazy bounce mechanics, low/no hit damages
Odd sight behaviour, swinging gun up to the moon as you unzoom sometimes
Some very odd nerf/buff decisions
Until you get used to it, very strange visibility system (you don't 'see' what you actually 'see', you 'see' what the visibility system lets you 'see' to incorporate camoflage/nets etc)
And of course, totally random team mates who may be just as happy to drive off a cliff after accidentally teamkilling you as shoot the enemy!

I could go on and on even more

WoT is an awesome game, the tanks aren't modelled to have parameters as its real counterparts, but "adjusted" for gameplay reasons (WoT is far away from being a Steel Beasts Online lol), the map is small and the visibility system dynamics is a nice gameplay compromise (after you learn how to "use" it, you'1l know what I'm saying).

The game have a russian bias, and artillery is annoying (but better in the last patch), but you can have lots of fun in all "research lines". The teams are balanced by tiers and tank classes, but this system don't take player stats in account (there are some matches you team are bound to get raped - you'll can see the stats and chances on the fly with a - impressive acurate - mod).

The game is free, so try it. It's way more complex and rewarding than the great majority of war-themed multiplayer games.

Is this game anything like il2 1946?

When Warthunder releases their Tank game....thats the day World of tanks die.

Wot = devs not interested in doing a better game, just adds new vehicles. Its interface is horrible and has bad comms for ingame talk, crappy serversystem.

First in-game footage, stunning detail :O

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jj5oyw4xnkU

This is not an in-game footage but a trailer specially made for Tanker's Day. It does not really represent what the final consumer will be seeing!

WoT seems like a sad story, their WoWP didn't seem to fare too well, not to mention the disaster Burmese Spitfire expedition.

From the WT forums:

If you play WT you know that this footage is IN-GAME. Yes, graphics and explosions are that great.

Yes, is quite fun although my playtime has slacked off until they release the new content. Just using the FTP version now until I see what the full release looks like.

Also sometimes waiting for FRB takes too long, and so I've been reverting back to Arcade just to get some good battles. Unfortunately Arcade uses a crappy simple flight model, and sucks to fly IMO. But I usually don't have time to wait for a match just to get killed fairly fast which is game over.

I REALLY wish they would have the "advanced flight model" that's in Historic/FRB's and put it into arcade, so you could use multiple airplanes

Love it! for someone like me with very few play time, this is the ideal game: challenging and quite sim realistic in FRB, quick dogfight sessions.... great great fun! 30 hours, 70 aerial victories (35 humans, 45 bots)in FRB, not too bad since I'm not the best sharpshooter out there...

my GREAT tip for FRB waiting time: in the "battle now" bottom right, select ANY servers and click on the "?" when choosing a nation, if you don't care which nation to play, it reduces the waiting time quite substantially, taking whatever plane you selected in each nation to play a session. the most quickest way to play in FRB!

Ah thanks, never saw that. Time to start gearing up!

The NDA for Ground Forces Closed Beta-test has been partially lifted



cannel full with wt tank vids

Hit points, and red outlines of enemy units.



No thanks

I was sad too see that also Apocalypse31, let's hope War Thunder do a full real version.

Though I can't blame them as WoT is a very popular tank game and it makes sense to go after that market.

Also the reticle of thePanzer IV F2 is not accurate they gave it an arcade crosshair type instead....Hope they correct that!Or do like they did in RO2 ; make both an arcade mode and a realistic one.

At the moment only the arcade mode is in the beta. In Warthunder/Airplane are tree modes, arcade, historic and simulator. This will be for tanks too.

I thought they used a component based system, and no hit points?? I do hate the outlines.

Remember that anyone participating to the beta and linking some info in the outside wolrd will be prosecuted to the full extend of international laws.

I am watching!

They actually relaxed the NDAs, so people are now allowed to post good stuff about WT Tanks - but not bad stuff.
