How do we access the old data sheets. Links in the war thunder wiki are broken
You need to put “old-” in front of the word “forum” in the URL. So:
https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/479190-lightning-f6/
Becomes:
https://old-forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/479190-lightning-f6/
It has to be done manually. The other forum’s posting architecture is incompatible with how new forums do posting.
Annnnnd they shut down the old-forum.warthunder.com site… so much neat information lost for no damn good reason. It should have stayed up indefinitely.
A lot of the old forum can still be accessed on Archive.org at least. Here is the last capture a few days before the switchover: https://web.archive.org/web/20230604032921/https://forum.warthunder.com/
They should have migrated the data to this instance.
