Introducing War Thunder Wiki 3.0!

Probably meant to be replaced by that public vehicle rating thing.

That would be a pity, as it’s never as detailed and doesn’t offer any clues. Knowing that an aircraft is good in ground attack, doesn’t tell me why, and how to use it to be good in ground attack.

Will half the pages still have placeholder text?

I deeply appreciate the dev’s/company’s efforts to make improvements (and there are a few new features I do like) but I have some strong issues with the current iteration of Wiki 3.0:

First, I fully agree that the Pro/Con section omission/deletion is a terrible and nearly unacceptable loss.
(Good points from @Daft909 below about the pro/con sections being outdated. Open the spoiler arrow to view comment chain:)

My reply to Daft909’s comment:

Next reply from Daft909:

In addition you guys just removed the feature/section that I used the most:
https://wiki.warthunder.com/Scouting
Old Scouting page: https://old-wiki.warthunder.com/Scouting

You can’t even select Scouting from the Features selections. HOWEVER, even adding Scouting to the features selection is not enough. I want my picture/tree view back where I can see ALL the countries at ONCE with vehicles that can Scout. NOT just one country at a time:

This must be added back. Including all the sections listed on the old Ground Units main page, where you could click over to the tech tree “link trees” where you could see ALL the scouting vehicles at once, all missile ground vehicles etc etc etc. This was one of the most useful link pages on the entire wiki for me. I would use this page at least weekly to drill down to view all of the applicable ground vehicles at one time:

EDIT: OK! I found something new I LOVE lol. If you click “Radar/Optical Detection” and filter Role by Light Tanks, you can finally see which light tanks have IRST!!! (IRST allows a tank to lock onto air targets “like a SPAA”, and more easily shoot down air targets). Thanks guys! This is something I have wanted to be able to search for for a LONG time 🍻

@Stona_WT I’m not able to rate a vehicle;

Despite matching the requirements I can’t click on the numbers between 1 to 5.

Is it/will it be possible to make an option to make usage of the whole screen space, instead of all this wasted space? It is not even a wide monitor, it is a standard 16:9 monitor. I am using a computer, not a smartphone…

Does that also include vehicles and stuff not yet in game? Like the 10,5 cm LeFH 18 L/28 Wespe for example?

whilst useful, the Pro/cons had many instances where they were flat out wrong (an issue when community is in charge of pro/con). I dont know a fix besides having people who can show they have high stats with said plane and are willing to give their views on it rather then people guessing. updating the pros/cons when BR changes is a must too.

Feel free to join the community and fill the missing content :)

But where to add e.g. the Pro/Con and Usage sections? = )

Good points. I do agree that when the information gets outdated from updates/BR changes it can become less useful, however, there was often still valuable information. Perhaps an “archived” section/button would be acceptable to inform players that the information is old/outdated, while still allowing us to find that old info.

i think perhaps a better option is a “pro/cons from different users” where any user can make a pro/cons list and they get added to a segment at the bottom. could work and eliminate bias

Decal pack will be available for console??

I would love to but unfortunately, my time is not infinite, and I would prefer to be playing War Thunder instead of writing articles for it.

Why not offer in game rewards for wiki contributions? I think that would really help get those pages filled out.

Whoever designed the site knew what he was doing. I have to say, good job.
I will support wiki with the 2EUR kit, the devs deserve it. o7

After having had a look around the new wiki, it looks like the pages for the individual weapons is not there any more. This means, you cannot look up which aircraft uses for example the AIM-9B, or which tanks that use the Rh-120 L/44.

At the same time, this removes some of the more detailed specs on some weapons. Like for example, on bombs, it doesn’t show the the Radius of destruciton of armored vehicles:

This change is looking REALLY good!! Big gold star for the designers!

I have some minor changes to the information displayed that i would personally like to see but overall its much easier on the eyes and gives a way better overview than the old one! (but is lacking some things that i forsee the community complain about soon™)

Is there no longer a general search function for things like mechanics/maps/ordinance? Or am i just blind and cant find it? (I would want the function if it isn’t there and if it is there it should be made way more visible).

Now this is just brilliant, love it!
I can’t tell you how many times i had two tabs open and flipped between the two to compare…

This is nice, but i hope it’s not supposed to replace the Pro/Con lists? (i can’t see anything that resembles the old pro/con lists in this new design). user ratings gives a brief overview but rarely tell the whole story (and since its user created it runs the risk of becoming biased).

This soothes my soul <3

Edit:
post below mine has a really good point, to be able to rate a vehicle the requirement should instead be something like 10-15 games in a spaded vehicle, not a stock one.

This should be increased to at least 50 games, probably even a 100.

With 10 games you don’t have even 20% of the mods unlocked.
