Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

TBF I like using archangel mosin in PVE, its expensive but always gets returned, but the base mosin is cool as well


Nope, looks like they are still flying

Well, that was the original purpose of the .50 cal lol

The battle for jutlands is oddly historical with how bad the weathers are duh

Yeah but BAR

Yeah it’s a stupid decision. Hopefully they change their mind and let us keep everything but given how stubborn Gaijin can be I am losing hope.

Either we keep the other aircraft from this event (SPAD, Fokker, hell even the Zeppelin) or we get a re-run with more aircraft when Aces of Thunder releases since apparently that is what is controlling WW1 aviation in War Thunder. Gate-keeping content to sell another product is just awful. Aces of Thunder shouldn’t need WW1 to be one of the main selling points, being a VR port it’s main selling point should be the VR itself.

@Smin1080p_WT Hey smin, given this does not specify the event mission, does normal naval RB/AB count towards the progress as well?

If we never get WW1 fighters, I recommend ti you; Rise of Flight. Free to play, Albatros D.Va and a SPAD are free, other planes are very cheap. You won’t be disappointed

Hey. It’s all of them:

Earn 20,000 mission points in Arcade or Realistic Naval Battles or the Battle of Jutland event while using any ships from the list above to receive the “The Glorious Memory: Battle of Jutland” decal!

So… any news on the Modern inf ?

@Smin1080p_WT for example the mark 5 with 2 guns its pretty hard to move between the gun sights so you could aim better with the other side any plans to make it more seamless, like moving your mouse on the left side for example and it would start using that sides gun sight?

It was the perfect april fools joke/distraction, so many people fell for it.

Agree

I do hope we get our own WW1 air update though we a tech tree split like blue-water and coastal.
That way tech tree spacing isn’t an issue.

Yeah the main selling point of Aces of Thunder is VR not WW1 dedicated game. That’s like gate keeping the P-51C-10 because it must come out first to milk the community more to only fly the razorbacks.

Different wording then, will the WWI experience possible achieved with this event and Aces of Thunder eventually lead to proper War Thunder WWI air/ground content?

One of the best parts of War Thunder is having everything in one game, so I really hope it won’t be split forever. The current reserve cutoff seems a bit arbitrary, and many players (including myself) would love to be able to go all the way from the very beginnings of tanks and aircraft to the most modern. This event at least proves that WWI in War Thunder works, so the foundation is there now.

Yeah but with how we are getting the tanks I think the easiest way for now would be just to add the aircraft from this event the same way, then in the future if we get more then we see some reworking of them in the TT’s.

You can bind secondary guns. I’ve got F3 for one side and F4 for another. I just swap between them.

I mean, they could have held the event without the possibility to keep any of the vehicles, so them letting us keep some of them already is pretty generous.

I get that you are disappointed, I would feel the same if I cared as much about WWI as you. To be honest I am surprised that they even let us keep the H.P. 12, but since that one is a bomber Gaijin probably figured that it would be a more viable vehicle in actual gameplay than biplanes that get outperformed by reserve planes.

The fact that they cranked up the tank performance just for this event feels like a rather big indicator that they do not think WWI content would be well received by most players.

And well, this being an April Fools prank really makes it feel like they actually don’t have any intention to introduce proper WWI content to WT.

Yep I mean we got the,

Spad S.XII (modeled in game)
The Came (Reserved for AoT)
H.P.12 (modeled in game)

Fokker D.VII (modeled in game)
Fokker DR.1 (Reserved for AoT)
Zeppelin (modeled in game)

That’s enough for making a CBT style tree and a mode for it
