Need help, so click download torrent from the war thunder launcher. I finish downloading all the files so what do I do? There is no launcher included in the torrent, or do I need to transfer the torrent files into my war thunder folder?
It seems like air kills give like no crew xp, but tons of money and ground targets give tons of crew xp and very little money. I'll get ~15 ground kills and less than 10k credits, but like 20 crew points and on the other hand I'll get ~7 air kills and get 15k credits easily and like 5 crew points.
[QUOTE=sgman91;39973514]I swear there's a bomb that is set with a random timer every match in the B-25 and at some point it just goes off and you die. So many I die before I even knew anyone was shooting me because literally the first shot makes me explode.[/QUOTE]
I was trying to shoot down some 25s today and I failed even with multiple (about 10) direct hits from 37 stuka cannon. Those things are undestructibile for me for some reason

No... The Stuka cannons just aren't very effective against anything for some reason.
The new Japanese bomber, the G8N1 has 3 20mm cannon turrets. Could this very well be the new flying fortress? Its a level 16 plane though, sounds like it maybe thrown into jet matches which would make the thing a flying pinata.

Even tier 7-10 bombers are literally flying pinatas. Tier 16 bombers aren't for fighting in lol.
yeah, never-mind about that. Just flew a match in a Lancaster and I was reminded how much the bombers have been turned into flying pinatas. I've taken for granted how good the G4m1 is in low level matches with its 20mm tail cannon.
Game Options -> Autopilot when bombing/gunning [b]OFF[/b]
The most redeeming part of 1.29. Now I can swivel my aim properly when bombing.
...
Unless that was already in game before 1.29.
Also under options, you can change the color of your useless client-sided acrobatic smoke trails.

Never noticed the smoke trails.
putting an entire mag of cannon ammo into enemy plane and watching him fly away = priceless
compounded by the fact that your plane gets destroyed in two hits.
kinda funny how insanely better I've gotten at arcade mode after getting rid of TrackIR, my X52 joysticks, switching to third person mouse and keyboard, and playing Russians and British planes only. Went from 3 deaths 3 kills a match, to 1-2 deaths 8+ kills a match. This shit is hilariously fun now.
So, went and played a round with the Chaika/I-16 for old times sake... god damn are they OP. With just the Chaika I got 8 kills and then another 5 with the I-16. The stealth ammo is hilarious because the enemy doesn't know what hit them until their wing is falling off.

It's annoying how the mouse and keyboard are superior to the joystick in a fucking flight sim. I wouldn't mind if they were equal, but god damn. Also I did a test flight in the first B-25 and for some reason when the top turret gets to the 11 o'clock position (approximately) if you want to keep going it has to turn all the way in the opposite direction to get there.
stealth ammo for worst idea 2013-all years

It's like that with any of the 360 degree range turrets. I'm really pretty sure that's not how it worked in the real thing, but maybe the ammo feeding forced something like that so I'm really not sure whether or not to blame the devs.
Why is it so fucking hard to do evasive maneuvers in this game
Its either barrel rowing which does jackshit or trying to out turn your opponent

Play HB or FHB.
So as someone who has played Star Conflict but also enjoys WW2 games, would you guys recommend this? It seems interesting, but how identical is it to SC?
hath fired a hundred rounds into thy enemy, when i ran out of ammo, someone hit that plane with a tiny, tiny burst. which caused said plane to Ram a mountain
Didn't even get a kill assist.
They really need to fix this ugly scoring system.

Its rather the same except for progression and such.
Wow, this nerf to the me410's. it didnt say that they would be making the thing fly like a house of bricks in the patch notes.
I tried to turn with the keys and the fucking thing started to go into a tail spin.
in arcade mode.

[editline]20th March 2013[/editline]
Ok so the tail spin thing seems to happen with all my fighters once ive got a wing or a damaged flap.
This is the sort of thing that should be in historical not arcade, once you get a flap taken out its gg but the planes are still armored like concrete most of the time.
you cant have some realistic and other parts not it just doesnt work

All round im getting enemy aircraft just apearing behind me despite constantly checking for them, did they completely nerf view range of your crew or something?

This is completely irrelevant, but my mind developed a similar metaphor which involved flailing a dual slot stainless-steel toaster around by its cable.
But yeah, people have been showing up behind me pretty stealthily too. But I've also been trying to fly close to my friends so someone can help me if I get into a tight spot, and same for them. That is, until my friend with the only fast plane decides to chase a faster plane 6+ km away and leave us sitting ducks. IL-2 friendship party only goes so far, and the FW190 cannon tears though our "thick armor" like a hot knife though butter.

The arcade mode is arcade mode, not flight sim, wtf are you talking about
Man these new bomb crosshairs has just made bombing ways too OP!
NOT!
What do you guys mean by "new bomb crosshairs", nothing changed expect that you can't drop bombs from vertical dives.
[QUOTE=BBOOBBYY!;39978611]What do you guys mean by "new bomb crosshairs", nothing changed expect that you can't drop bombs from vertical dives.[/QUOTE]
in some bombers (actual bombers, not fighter bombers) you can always see them now even at high altitude (unless you are at an angle you can't drop in)
Yeah, and like i said earlier, that makes it difficult if you've got a great big airplane with 50 kg. bombs, on a map without any AA or Artillery to hit. Then you're usually almost forced to divebomb in order to hit the tanks or armor cars the map has. And that's quite difficult without any sights.

if you are in a lvl bomber hit f7 to use the sights

Most people don't know that you need to bind it to a key first.
It's under Controls -> Miscellaneous. Though, it's pretty useless as I have said.
I saw the smoke trails on an enemy fighter in my last game, I dont think they are client-side only.. (To whoever said client-side earlier)

I was discussing this with some random guy in-game, said that he was deploying the magenta smoke behind him, but I couldn't see it.
You sure it wasn't some guy's damaged engine?
