[QUOTE=mastermaul;52039157]Is this insane traversal speed and slippery handling accurate?
And holy shit are these tanks... tanky. They are not one hit kills at all.[/QUOTE]
I think it's because it's arcade.
Also, the helicopter controls remind me of San Andreas a [B]lot[/B]. Less responsive and a little more clunky, but that's my first impression.
Didn't Gaijin make an Apache game like five years ago, or something?
I don't even know what to think about this. I'm simultaneously angry that this is another one day joke, and absolutely ecstatic because the absolute madmen actually added helicopters and modern tanks. Gaijin has a history of April Fool's jokes that are way cooler, and way more fun than the actual game. This time they're doing a thing that everybody actually wants.
I can only hope that as others have said, this is just a test of a Cold War Thunder spinoff and not just more ridiculous wankery at the top of the tech tree for the 3% of people who play rank 5, because fuck. War Thunder with modern shit is such a cool idea and a niche that just does not exist right now.

There's RB too. Also yeah, they did Apache: Air Assault.
Also, recorded this

Apache Air Assault was pretty decent. It fell in line right with where War Thunder is with its sim-lite mentality. I liked it a lot.
Guys, helicopters can CAP ZONES.
Driving my T-90.
Leopard shows up and breaks my turret ring.
Can't turn my turret.
Turn the tank, gun keeps pointing the same direction.
:huh:

Also these AGM-114s are surprisingly effective considering they're apparently inert :v:

Chopper ATGM gameplay literally becomes one of those Syria TOW missile compilations v:v:v
[editline]1st April 2017[/editline]
also T-90 is best anti-air
I wonder if the minimap looking like literally Hitler is deliberate.
So is that IS-6 any good? I was debating on seriously trying to get back into the game, but the grind makes me want to not bother. Considering the RP costs of some of these tanks and the likes.
What's the RP gain like with the IS-6 and is the IS-6 any good in comparision to the ranks it will get throw into?
Anyone else feel like the mg's on the T90 have the muzzle velocity of a Nerf gun?

Those helicopters are totally used from this

What Wolfenstein reference, that the nazis went to the moon? hardly original idea from Wolfenstein, you know :v:
Also, I'm pretty sure that all of those models featured in it are community content.

IS-6 isn't that bad, it does pretty well when up-tiered. The RP and SL gain is good as well. Tbh, if you were going to get a Russian premium I'd recommend the T34-100. People may sneeze and kill you at higher tiers, but you still can go on pretty good murder sprees.
I feel like if/when helicopters are added to the game they might need surface to air or air to air missiles as a counter. Seems like a lot of people are just sitting as far back as possible and sniping with the ATGMs. I mean yeah that's how they're employed in real life, but I think there needs to be a better counter to it than just AA guns.

planes mowing down the helicopters with guns sounds great to me, wish they had some in the current deal
It seems that they've taken the time to actually model the 2A5's addon armor independently of the turret.
They could easily whip out a 2A4 out of this.

When there's no point in camouflaging something because it's massive and has a non-working spinny radar.
there's got to be something more to this april fools update
like the pirate ship april fools update was like a test for ships or something like that
How do you customize the april fools tanks?

Yeah, visually it has stuff under the addon armor, but hitboxes still count the addon pylon even though it's been blown off, I had this happen against a 2A5 where I fired at the turret where the chevron had been blown off and it still counted so the round ricocheted off of it.
But yeah, I reckon this event is a test for A) Smoke Launchers, since we've had them coming for ages, B) Helicopters (doubtful, since they're just recycled Apache: Air Assault stuff with very simple controls), C) Composite/ERA armor (possible considering we might actually get tanks that have them (apart from Type 87 which according to Gaijin doesn't have composite armor despite people having shown proof that at least the lower glacis has some, or not?)
It's gotta be either modern tanks and/or composite armor and ERA they're testing. Too much effort for it to just be a test of smoke launchers.
For some reason WT's adamant on switching me to medium textures in the middle of games
So that means my screen freezes for a good 5~ seconds even though I'm getting 120 fps on high settings
What the fuck

The helos are ripped from their previous game and ERA has been in the files
did anyone else notice they added a suspension models for aircraft?

No the reference to the da'at yichud, the explanation of the anti grav tech and how they found it and engineered it is pretty much the same as in the latest Wolfenstein (Maybe its just a coincidence)
And yes all those models are community mods, the first one being really well made and would not surprise me if it ended in the game like the german one.
So the MBT's APDS uses a new shell type called apds_fs_long_tank. It seems to be cribbed mostly from ap_large_caliber_tank (uses the same new variables) which suggests that a general APDS/solid shot rework is in the works.
(Also, apds-fs now has a slope effect table, though it still uses apds table)
