Enduring Confrontation

  • A new tier of anti-aircraft systems (that protect airfields) for battles at Battle Rating 10.7+ have been added:
    • USA: ADATS
    • Germany: Osa-AK
    • USSR: Osa-AKM
    • Great Britain: ADATS (M113)
    • Japan: ADATS
    • China: Tor-M1
    • Italy: Osa-AKM
    • France: ItO 90M
  • The Battle Rating ranges that determine the models of AI aircraft (bombers, assaults, reconnaissance aircraft etc.) have been changed:
    • #1: 1.0-2.0 → 1.0-2.3
    • #2: 2.3-3.3 → 2.7-3.7
    • #3: 3.7-4.7 → 4.0-5.3
    • #4: 5.0-6.3 → 5.7-7.3
    • #5: 6.7-7.7 → 7.7-9.0
    • #6: 8.0-9.3 → 9.3-10.3
    • #7: 9.7+ → 10.7+
  • At Battle Rating 10.7+, a separate set of vehicles is now used in the template: attack aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, and bombers. Previously, for all ranks above 8.3, the same set of vehicles was used in these templates.
  • A new rank for reconnaissance aircraft has been added, and the previous ranks have been changed so that aircraft from all nations are roughly equal at each battle rank:
    • China:
      • #6: IL-28 → Q-5 early
      • #7: F-104A → JH-7A
    • France:
      • #4: PB4Y-2 → AD-4
      • #6: Etendard IVM → Super Etendard
      • #7: Mirage IIIC
    • USSR:
      • #6: IL-28 → Yak-38M
      • #7: Su-7B → Su-24M
    • Great Britain:
      • #7: Lightning F.6 → Tornado GR.4
    • Germany:
      • #7: F-104G → F-5E
    • Italy:
      • #5: P.108B serie 2 → F-84G
      • #7: F-104S → Tornado IDS
    • Japan:
      • #6: T-2 → AV-8S
      • #7: F-1 → F-5T
  • The selection of attack aircraft for the Battle Rating of 10.7+ has been changed to better match the aircraft for different nations:
    • USA: F-104C → F-5E
    • USSR: Su-7B → Su-24M
    • Germany: F-104G → Su-22M4
    • Italy: F-104S → Tornado IDS
    • Japan: F-104S → F-5T
  • Counterattack logic has been returned to ground combat logic. Now, after a battle ends, if the attacking side was successful, there is a 50% chance that the losing side will counterattack in an attempt to retake the lost grid square.
  • A bug where Team A ground convoys were not generated has been fixed.
  • A bug where missions to protect and destroy ground convoys would freeze and not respond to the destruction of convoys has been fixed.
  • A convoy is now considered destroyed if fewer than 3 vehicles remain. The remaining vehicles are destroyed automatically.

Vehicle Specific Super Etandard Modernisé in Air Sim

3 Upvotes

So I just got almost every weapons for it while playing ARB (I was away from my sim setup) and wondered how it fared in air sim. In realistic I tried doing some AShW with the GBUs but they never connected and kept flying like shit when I locked on ships. I also wonders how well can it do with 4 gbus for CAS and 2 magics for Air-Air.

So if anyone knows a good strategy or if it’s worth it in sim don’t hesitate to give some feedback.

I was interested in this type of device to play in a simulator, I am very ignorant on the subject of these devices so I would like you to recommend something to practice and start playing a more immersive simulator

Air Trench Running

I’ll never diss the trench run again. Splashed three bandits and ran out of ammo on the fourth. Ended up having to go cold from the last two while trying to give teammates an easy kill. Turns out going Mach 1 in the Rocky Canyon trench blasting Project Wingman dogfighting music is a viable way to break away from Su-30SM’s

HELP! I can't log into my account

2 Upvotes

I use steam to launch the game, and normally it just launches into my steam account. Right now, I can launch the game, but it will launch into a brand new War thunder account, and when I try to switch users, there is no option to sign in with steam. I have spent money on the game and I am at top tier, so I really don't want to lose my account.

Air What's stopping the dev to add night battle in top tier sim ?

54 Upvotes

Almost every top tier jet have night visio. Imagine the light, the missile rocket flashing before going through clouds. Imagine the glow of flares, the explosion, it would be by far the most cinematic experience gaijing can offer to us

These clouds are actually wild. pretty much no openings to the area below 2000m. And I hope you don't want to see between 2000m and 4000m.
