Celebrate the Spooky Season with Halloween in War Thunder!

die nachthexen have returned, i can and will bring the 2-OP to 8.7

By any chance is there a place where I can toggle the hangar cosmetics? I love the vibes but it’s hard to see when I want to take a look at a skin or put some decals on a vehicle

Not for console players though correct?

So this game mode also ate up my booster despite the vague message given about how they “do not work” but they are sure as hell consumed. Probably should clarify that a bit better.

My god these events are such janky ass and boring asf after YEARS of the same thing.

This Halloween Themed Hangar is so annoying, it should be optional to use it, u can barely see your vehicles.

So this event is just completely ran by trolls at this point.

Its actually pointless to play, every win is erased by the 20 matches of people ramming into you on purpose.

Is this Gaijins idea of a fun event???

The first turn is like the true definition of hell xD, all the players just go kamikaze and at least 3 or 4 ragequit.

Quite the opposite of fun…

You have to edit the config.blk to use a custom hangar.

Do you really want an answer to that?

Irk; the true Turn 1 dive bomb experience XD.

i just raced enough to get the decal, even won a couple of races. I got the “ghost” decal, last year i got the “snail killer”.

Extremely irritating event. I’m trying to get the profil frame for plane part… Was nearly there…I got rammed. Next battle I got rammed again. What’s the point?

Also, aside from ramming, the event degrades into many players knowing the map well… one or two mistakes and there’s almost no hope of cathing somebody. But you can’t quit, because this will ruin your rating. 🤦🏻‍♂️

MAKE IT SO THAT GETTING BAD POSITION DOESN’T RUIN THE RATING!!! Make it some kind of progress you can’t lose.

If you can’t lose the rating the ranking will be determined by who grinds the longest, and not who plays the best. That is going to get nobody nowhere.

On another note, what ranking is usually enough to qualify for the po2? 1000? 1100?

fun in war thunder?

Well, by now everyone knows the ideal lines, and the fields are SO TIGHT, that the race is decided by who has thick smoke, or who manages to ram without hurting themselves

General:

  • The pre-race waiting times are unnecessarily long
  • Getting the rewards is an awful grind, especially because it is so reliant on luck - other players can screw you over in both game modes, and the loss of rating from bad matches only makes this worse
  • People are griefing in both modes, participating only to crash into other players instead of trying to play the actual race
  • Neither of the modes are actually fun to play (see below), and without the rewards I would have quit after a couple tries - it is scary how bad both are
  • The event atmosphere is nice, but unfortunately can’t be enjoyed during the races
  • The rewards aren’t worth the trouble, and regular mission score grind would be much preferred, as at least you can’t lose your progress towards the rewards that way!

PO-2 race:

  • Takes twice as long as the Hellcat race with two laps, without meaningful ways to catch up
  • Crashing is extremely punishing, as you lose over half of your accumulated air speed on top of having to wait almost 10s for a respawn
  • Ridiculously bad visibility, worsened by the aerobatic smoke on by default
  • Plane collision physics with each other make no sense, enabling tactical ramming
  • Letting people with the PO-2 deny others from getting one by being in the top1000 is a scummy choice

Hellcat race:

  • The track obstacles have ridiculous physics, some tiny rocks stopping you dead, and there’s a bump in the middle of the road by the frozen river that sends you flying all over the place
  • The vehicle physics don’t make sense, flipping and flying from slightest collisions with rocks and other tanks
  • The first turn is an awful dogpile, which usually determines the top 3 of the race through luck of not getting rammed to hell
  • Checkpoint marker size doesn’t match the trigger area
  • The indicated track isn’t even the actual optimal route

Overall, an extremely frustrating and disappointing experience. All spook, no fun.

Why do we loose point when racing badly… is it possible to do an event without feeling of farming things…

Just give us the bloody frame by playing xx amount of normal games.
