War Thunder "Firebirds" - Changelog

Is it just me or do the vapor trails only work on some planes? I have the new viggen and they don’t appear on that. They do however appear on the kfir or the Japanese f15j for example

Which one would that be?

Congratulations on your effort, the graphics are wonderful, keep up the good work

Those have been nerfed, they now only get 48mm of pen.

None of those are 1.0, nor do they have 64mm pen

Yup, of course they have been.

That’s why I said, we went from and not, we are.

The fuze setting is not what you guys said you were adding on the roadmap. you guys said that you would be adding the ability to control fuze settings in battle for high explosive, fragmentation and radio fuzes. I am still not able to set the fuze distance on my VFW and flak slf.

Amazing update 👍 one thing I wish though is the dirt coming off the tank when firing. Chunks coming off is fine, but a complete cleaning of the tank down to clean paint when firing? Immersion goes away with that one.

I don’t get your point, those vehicles obviously were unbalanced at 1.0 and still are immensely powerful at their new BRs with less pen.

The Wiesel is at 7.3 as well and while I’m sure they could go down to 7.0, putting them any lower would just lead to even more BR compression.

You can’t even kill a KV-1 with it, you can’t touch a Tiger H1, nor a Tiger ll obviously, you can’t kill T-34s unless you get close, you can’t even pen a Panzer IV from the front.

Wiesel is SPAA, the Sub l ll at 5.3 also gets a 20mm with 66mm of pen on a better platform as well, Kugel gets more pen at 7.0, the M53 gets 90mm at 6.3.

These vehicles are completely pointless and utterly useless in most scenarios unless you get lucky with your targets, and that’s obnoxious.

honestly wiesel could drop to like 6.7, maybe lower

Not with that kind of mobility and thermals.

None of those are as mobile as the Wiesel and Luchs and none of them get thermals and a laser range finder.
The Wiesel and Luchs both are scouting vehicles at their cores and they perform that role incredibly well in WT, especially when working together with SPHs or sniper tanks.

OSA is literally a copy of the old spaa before saclos. The missile has perfect controllability the entire flight.

doesn’t matter if you’re “mobile” if you get hit by 1 machine gun bullet you die.
Also being fast does not mean mobile, Wiesel going over ANY lump or divot will cause extreme movement, no STAB.

should’ve came 2 years ago honestly

And conversely the lack of survivability or a stabilizer doesn’t matter if the vehicle in question isn’t supposed to be used offensively.

The Sub is very mobile, 25hp/t, 60km/h, 60 degree turret rotation, 4 crew.

Can also just take out the Leopard 40/60 at 6.0 with 93mm of pen.
