Would love to see more historical skins in the drops for existing planes, some could really use a few since they didn’t get any option when added.

I use a steam deck to run custom macro and key bindings for war thunder for each game mode. Would be great if you guys could create a pack of custom icons and controls for stream deck similar to what you’ve done here

The drop system is all messed up…

I posted this in the wrong forum so I’m just screenshotting it to make it easier for me.

Working for me fwiw. Only have the camo left now. Have you tried watching one of the other language streams to see if those do anything? (In case anyone wants to ask: NO watching multiple streams at once does not speed up the drop %'s. I have tested that before 😂 )

Also fwiw, if you click the edit button (the pencil icon bottom right), click in the text window, hit CTRL+A then CTRL+C, you can then simply CTRL-V the entire message over here. No need to take a screenshot 😉 Finally, you are able to delete your own messages, and can delete your redundant message in the old Twitch thread if you want. (Hit the 3 dots bottom right, trashcan icon.)

EDIT: More info about where you can watch and get your drops!

Listen, I am happy it is working for you.

It is NOT WORKING for 90% of the chat, and the people it WAS working for, suddenly had it STOP WORKING, incidentally, at the same time I joined the stream and none of my progress was being tracked with my connected linked account. And now, it won’t let me refresh/reconnect my relinked account. There IS a problem, it just happened AFTER you joined.

Being a twitch problem and not Gaijin’s issue is one thing and understandable, but nonetheless there is a problem.

Just trying to help bro, not saying there isn’t a problem 👍 Why I made sure to say “fwiw” about what is happening for me. I only wanted to say that in case I can provide any additional details that might help resolve the issue. I also almost always pull up all 5 streams on Twitch, as sometimes one or two of them start late (or sometimes very late). So, I thought that might be part of the reason why it appears to be working for me still.

I just hit F5 on my drop page, my camo % is still going up. I have not closed or stopped my stream tabs since I started watching.

10

Are the camos gonna end up on the MP or do i gotta leave a twitch tab open for like 10 hours? Im half tempted for the su27 one.

11

I am 99% sure the Twitch drops are never sell-able. If you want the camo, you should start watching tomorrow because the camo takes more than 1 day/stream to get. I watched most of today’s and am only up to 77% for the camo now.

Don’t wait until the last minute. Also, if you already have a Twitch account, you can set a reminder on the calendar/schedule so you will get an Email/Notification when the Stream(s) start. And/or hit the bell so you get pinged when any stream starts on WT’s channel. That’s what I do so I don’t forget.

Why is the Panther F camp coded as fictional? It looks perfectly historical. Fictional just means most players will never see it.

Ya there’s no reason for it to not be semi-historical

The drop camos themselves never end up on the marketplace, however sometimes the exact same skin becomes available in a box or as a separate skin you can buy later on too

Being able to follow the streamers at a decent time of day in my time zone is a great benefit - having to get up at 0300 for this was a pain, and I didn’t really watch anything.

Now I can do it at 1500 and watch something interest!

16

afaik most of those camos end up in an esports crate

18

It would be the first ever non-fictional given out this way, but I don’t really see a problem with that, assuming it actually does look period-accurate.

19

No offence to the official stream teams, but whenever I’m given a choice like this I always watch the CC stream instead. The competition here isn’t just in-game between them, important to show your colors if you can. Plus as you said, it runs a full week, at all times, if you know where to look.
