Why would you call artillery on yourself. Just hold J.

According to the devs on Facebook, there's already infantry on some airfields.

It's been there since as far back as I remember.

Lots of the trench networks (the two artillery and single AAA positions surrounding a light pillbox) have infantry running around in them as well. They even shoot at you with their rifles sometimes.

Does anyone know if you can be shot down by rifle fire? I know Ive taken hits from infantry fire on Zhengzhou, but Im not sure they actually deal damage or if they just made the hit sound and nothing more.
Sorry for the stupid question, but I my quick search didn't yield any info on how the ground forces gameplay is linked to the air force gameplay.
Are there realistic battle maps where there are player tanks on the ground and player planes in the air? Or does that just happen in arcade?
[editline]24th November 2014[/editline]
Oh wait, I think I just found out - I pick an airplane and then choose to participate in a tank battle, right?

Originally, tanks and planes were mostly separate but after the recent update you can play tanks and get a plane "killstreak" ability which after so many kills you get an attacker or bomber aircraft and use it for around 30 seconds.
RB's (Realistic Battles) have planes and tanks at the same time, all the time.

Yes. Typically I'll keep at least 1 plane in my tank lineup for Realistic battles. Once you get into the game, in Realistic spawning is handled using "spawn points" that you're given and can earn in battle. Planes are not immediately selectable as they cost more spawn points than you start with, so you'll have to hop in a tank and get a kill or 2 beforehand.

Arcade: You can only bring tanks in your lineup, but can earn the ability to use random planes for brief periods of time (like 40 seconds) as a "killstreak". 1 kill gets you a fighter, 2 an attacker, 3 a heavy bomber.
Realistic: You can bring a mix of planes and tanks in your lineup, and can fly them all out provided you earn enough spawn points (by killing things, doing objectives, etc) to get a respawn after you die.
Sim battles: No combined arms (AFAIK)
[editline]24th November 2014[/editline]
woah ninja'd hard
Worth noting you never have enough spawn points in RB to go straight into an airplane so, it's technically a "killstreak reward" as well, but you have to respawn to get into the plane.
[editline]24th November 2014[/editline]
And it's not time limited, obviously.

But not in "air battles" mode, right?
I mean: to play a tank and have airplanes around, I'll just have to go to an RB tank battle, that much is clear.
But to fly a plane and have player tanks on the ground - does that happen in regular air force gameplay, or only in tank battles, through the spawning system that you guys just explained?
[editline]24th November 2014[/editline]
I mean, is it like:
Air battles: only planes and ai vehicles
Tank battles: player planes and vehicles
Or is it:
Air battles - I can only fly planes but I can bomb and get shot down by players who are in "tank battle mode"
Tank battles - I can play tanks and planes in battles with players on "tank battle" and "air battle" mode.
Which sounds kind of convolutd.

Air battles only have Player planes. Tank Battles can have a mix.
AB / RB / SB Planes - Just Planes
AB Tanks - Planes are randomized rewards for killstreaks and you only have about 30 seconds in them, if you activate them.
RB / SB Tanks - Planes can be spawned after death with no time limit, but they will always require more SP (Spawn Points) than you initially start with. So as Milan said, they're still sort of a killstreak reward, but you can play them like normal RB/SB planes indefinitely once you spawn - and they're whatever planes/payloads you bring to the battle.

I should really update the OP but effort
If you get a plane in RB and you land on a run way, can you hold J to change your armament/ammo like usual or will that make you respawn in a tank?

You should be able to respawn right back in without charge, but don't quote me on it. It'd be a good idea to just bring whatever payloads you need from the get-go.

If I remember correctly, yes. Remember to wait until you repair before jumping out tho.

Yup, you can even abandon your plane for a tank and use the plane later
[QUOTE=Timebomb575;46559951]Biggest one right there IMO, especially on Russian tanks with the 122
I abused the hell out of the coax MG on the IS-2 in Red Orchestra back in the day[/QUOTE]
Red Orchestra Ostfront had amazing tanks. It was super fun to play on a mostly tank map. I remember being german and climbing on top of a motorcycle with a panzerfaust and then doing AT drive bys on IS-2s, I also remember wrecking shit with the sd kfz 251 armed with the pak 40.
Found a very unclear pic of a 190 blowing up in mid air, not the one I mentioned earlier but still proves a point.

So I just played a tank mission for the Russians.. forgot the name of the map. It has a lake with an island in the middle, and a castle sitting on that island.
We all drove straight for point A.
By the time we got there, the Germans had already taken C, B, and A. Needless to say, things didn't progress much further from there.
Is there a problem with that map?
Prepare for a little bit of a disappointment.

The skins are just square camo textures that are repeated across the tank, you can steal it from any one tank and apply it to another, doesn't even have to be from the same nation

Be warned though, some tanks aren't meant for it and have visual errors, like the KV-2 turret roof.
It looks fine in solid color, but textures bug out.

The panthers are supposed to have amazing guns and pretty good frontal armor, but paper side armor and pretty vulnerable ammo racks from the side.

I remember reading a statistic somewhere that a majority of Panthers were, ironically, killed by 45mm guns firing APCR into the side armor.
Their fronts are heavy-tank stronk in War Thunder, but the sides can be shredded by SPAAGs firing AP rounds.
