Bombs not exploding when hitting vehicles

4 times in the last couple of days I have noticed that bombs that directly hit vehicles don’t explode & don’t even do sufficient impact damage.
Perfect example a couple of hours ago I dropped a SC1000 from a Fw 190 F-8 perfectly in the middle of the top of a Su85.
The Su85 should have been turned to dust by the explosion, but, even without the explosion, the kinetic energy of a 1 ton bomb travelling at around 500kmh/320mph should have easily turned the Su85 into a steel pancake.
You fixed this years ago. How TF did you manage to unfix this?

You can bug report it here: Gaijin.net // Issues (just search a bit first so that you don’t report something that is already reported and known about)

A guide on how to report bugs can be found here: ([Navigation] Technical Knowledge Base | War Thunder Wiki)

I don’t have the patience to deal with your overly complex & useless bug reporting system. Can’t you guys just do your jobs & test the friggin game properly before releasing patches?

  1. Posting about bugs here won’t accomplish anything, only doing it correctly through the bug reporting platform will have any sort of impact at all.

  2. I’m a Game Master, we handle in-game chat and name bans. I have no insight into development and no contact with the developers. All moderation teams are also volunteers, we do not get paid and are not hired by Gaijin.

  3. It’s practically impossible for any game developer to find every little issue and bug before an update (let alone for a game as large and complex as War Thunder).

  4. Just the action of putting the update on the live server can introduce new bugs that weren’t there during the dev server testing. Programming is really weird at times, sometimes bugs can come from the weirdest places that look like they have zero connection to the issue. (I personally once had a frequent crash/freeze issue with my PC and the cause was a faulty SD card in the 3D printer hooked up to my PC through a USB cable…)

No wonder the communication between regular players and DEVs is dogshit when even the Game Masters have 0 contact

That’s the Community Managers job, they are actually hired by Gaijin (if i understood it correctly).

They gather feedback from players and compile the most talked about points to bring up to the developers. They are also the ones making the posts where the developers answer concerns the community has.

There is no real need for Game Masters to have contact with the developers.

Huh, they must be doing a terrible job, there are ongoing threads about Russiam bias, Kh-38MTs, BMPT and the new Pantsir, 999 NATO bug reports and they are doing very little about it.

Like the Abrams hull armor stuck in 1979 because they belive it is stuffed with cheeseburgers? And they used classified information to try to deny the upgrade?

You’re part of the team, you actively engage with the community and give feedback, there is 0 reason to why you shouldn’t at least have a vote

Right, off topic, mb

Do you use 0 second fuses or something else? Also afaik bomb impact damage was never modeled in this game.
