Thor's Hammer Challenge not counting kills

We know all the data parameters on the challenges from data mining, and there are no parameters there for target rank that could apply. There’s simply no variable there to be set. The challenge could still be bugged somehow (I had one suspicious game too), but that’s not what it is. And there are no ground bots.

I would suggest people who think they have sus games for this challenge should start sharing server replay links so other people can see what the issue is and put the collective brain to work.

Based on previous problems we’ve seen like this, my guess it’s probably something to do with the order damage effects accrue. Like if you catch fire and then die in the same second, it’s counting your vehicle as death by fire and you don’t get the credit. Or it kills all the crew before it kills the vehicle, so you die by crew removal and it doesn’t count. It’ll be something like that. In which case the workaround will just be doing it more often than you think you need to.

You are wrong. Target rank doesn’t matter.

I wonder if some people are killing AI units in naval? Has to be a player killed…

Got a replay?

And no, bots do not count - has to be players

Here is the kill also not counted for the Thor’s Hammer Challenge.

Got now clue why its not counting.

Too blurry to read the messages, so not useful at all - which is why I asked for a replay, not a short video.

They’re pretty clear to be real, both show both targets were bombed. (Fullscreen it and it becomes clear as)

It is better for the replays to be there, but thing is something isn’t working with some people, for some reason.

A real question would also be if anyone tried relogging to see if the profile refresh would update it, or whether they bailed from the match early and returned to hangar, but I also don’t see that being a thing.

Both bombs were the SC1000, which I did use for the higher end, even with that FW as well, and I felt like 1 kill wasn’t counted for some reason, and it was in a match where I got 2.

How can I upload the full video to youtube?

Best to give the replay link from the server replays.

What would be of actual benefit is screenshots of the task itself before and after, along with the battle summary, and even the battle log.

Whilst this is a hindsight situation with the beforehand screenshots, it’s something to think about next time you have to report something.

That ‘Copy Link’ portion is what you want to click on, then paste it to the thread here.

Not for me - full screen made them worse.

As @FlyingDoctor said - just put the link in a post.

xD You gotta mess with that cog setting in the bottom. You may also have been too early to actually check the video too with that ‘SD’ version only being available while the HD version encodes and propogates.

Challenge seems completely inconsistent.

One kill I had with a german SC1000 was counted for the challenge since I didnt use any other “heavy” bomb so far. So the bomb should not be the problem, right ?
But I got at least 5 more kills with SC1000 by FW190 F-8 in a complete Tier III-IV lineup which did not count.

So if it’s not the bomb, what is it then ?
Tier correct, weapon correct, but no acknowledgement ?

Update here:
2x SC1000 from Do217 E-2 dropped simultaneously for a kill, was counted.
Maybe the type of hit is crucial (ammo, crew etc.) ??

Last update from me:
Same thing: 2x 1000 kg from Do217 E-2, was counted.
Does not solve the puzzle, but that’s 3/3 for me. Good luck to everyone else who’s stuck here !

I’m sorry, but I have no clue how to get that “Copy Link”?

FYI i’m playing War Thunder true Steam and it’s also a console account.

It should be on the server replay interface, but if you don’t have the streams and replays menu as well, if you go to Gaijin Entertainment - Single Sign On you can find it there.

I have no idea how you’d log in there, but it should be the same as logging onto the forums here.

Got a notification to my post on the bug report page that it’s been fixed… Hopefully all is right in the world of bombing now…
