We definitely need more “fun” like this:
Thank you devs for making the game “fun”!
But seriously, I just pressed ESC and left the battle. I’ve been doing it more and more often lately when I see conditions like this. I play games for fun, not to suffer.
the waves were the best part.
hurricanes maybe tornadoes would just be kinda weird without map destruction like battlefield
Nope but it can certainly lift most of the wheeled SPAAs and maybe some light tanks
I don’t see any need for tornadoes with how hard they would be to code and how specific their damage patterns are, but there are multiple different weather events that would be epic for both naval and ground battles (maybe not so much for air).
Of course these could be custom-exclusive, not only preventing them from interfering with people who only wish to grind, but also giving another incentive to play custom in the first place.
Thunderstorms
By far the weather events I am most interested in, they would make an excellent addition to naval warfare.
Here is a mission from Battlestations Pacific (one of my favorite games of all time) set during the Battle of Cape Esperance in October of 1942. In real life the battle was not fought in a storm, but Battlestations decides to portray it as such, which makes for quite the fighting enviroment.
Since this game came out in 2009, it is understandable that there are no dynamic seas or winds, but overall the combination of extensive cloud cover and flashes of lightning give off a decent enough impression of a proper thunderstorm at sea. I believe that War Thunder is more than capable of presenting an even more convincing storm with choppy waves and howling winds.
First post from this guy I agree.
I want to see the storm and rain weather fixed first at least though.
Really? For me it’s 60 % low cloud cover, 30 % overcast and 10 % clear skies. But then again, I mostly play planes in ground battles. They probably have an algorithm in MM to put pilots into these weather conditions to curb earnings.
i see you have a paranoid mind like i do… there are time i think is the map really cloudy because i have AGMs or do i just have non-stop bad luck.
Hey anyone in Florida at the moment… need you to uh hi jack a tank for… humanitarian reasons. and snap a go pro on it :D
Gotchu ;)
That national guard armory won’t miss it XD
no, but it can flip them
except for ww2 those can definitely be moved a little bit
even add flooding to small degree’s, but not enough to drown a tank.
no, full floods the the ducks will triumph (LOL)(ducks: bmp, lvt, lav, xm800T, etc)
so then I can bait Bf 110s into ripping their wings when they try to follow me
: ( but your crews would drown! or may just small part of maps
no those tanks are amphibious they float other tanks would die though ( I was joking though about flooding the map)
Except for the bug, that was removed around 2019 because people complained about inconsistent spotting system.
IMO, night battles would be ok if the game mode doesn’t have spotting system.
A tornado can throw a train. It can even rip layers of dirt off the ground. So yes, it could easily send a tank flying.
ummmmmm, no thats not how it works … it could probably flip it (MBT) (ww2 light tanks probably could throw it around) but it wouldn’t outright make a tank fly
could have it in the background
