Second testing of the "Scorching Rays" update

Helpers seem busy elsewhere

Could this be added to the list please?

Planes could do with the Patch up jets got (jobs not finished). Anywhere between 100-800 kgs lighter, plane dependant

You can compare it to steam achievements, where is only 60 of them as well.

Sadly the removed one is neither of those I am missing.

whats there to give feedback about? the shitty double barrel shotgun japan is gonna get? the raytracing nobody is gonna unironically use? this whole update is basically a big nothing-burger

The Ki-83 with weak little bombs

Well, there’s still few positives in this update I am excited about.

  • removal of sell legacy squad button
  • BRs are now visible in TT
  • quite a number of new customization options
  • awesome rework of cave village (I would maybe even argue Tunisia could be available for all BRs now)

Yes, we had pure QoL updates that were larger than this “major update” in the past. But whatever.

It’s such a shame that this is one of the other features that wasn’t brought to completion. Like the new camera for BAs for example.

Considering BR1 is probably my least played BR, I won’t enjoy the newly added hull MGs for a while.

Cannot wait for hull MGs to be added to shermans and German cats.

They should shuffle unlocks around. They got way too lazy and you can have multiple BR2/3 unlocks at BR3/4 it’s just stupid. They uptier/downtier weapons/vehicles but forget about moving them around TT. Just edit couple of text files god damnit Gaijin.

It’s more like a traditional move by DF. As long as they delay for a few more days each time, they can get away with two fewer major updates a year and take it easy.

It seems that Df is more inclined to distinguish these two types of firearms as separate entities, and in this way, it would be possible to update them more frequently.

I heard that in the early days, War Thunder was very unfriendly toward the Soviet Union. Until one day, a Russian threw a grenade at the entrance of Gaijin’s office, and the next update introduced the IS-6. Not sure if it’s true or not. I’ve noticed that a new game from another company has already released four consecutive updates, with one update per day. I suspect Gaijin is betting that their new game will be a huge success—as long as the game doesn’t fail, they consider it a victory. Players, on the other hand, are being completely ignored and neglected.

That’s a bit extreme, but it got results tho.

Everything positive new for this game should be celebrated, even if the update being small.

I really dont like the recent negativity on the forum, despite the last few updates actually adressing many of the most discussed issues.

Honestly the Tunisia cave map update alone counts as a major update to me.

Yeah, in totally pathetic way. That haven’t solved nothing at all.

  • Guerillas didn’t solve greyzone
  • The penalties for desertion were introduced in a very senseless way - they don’t penalise veterans
  • Map preferences were PR from day one and anyone who thought it would have a meaningful impact was completely naive. The merge happened for a reason. Waste of time.
  • They implemented the nationality changes, but didn’t bother to develop customizations for this system. Post merge players simply don’t have access to British/Italian outfits (except for a very squads teams). Italians in general don’t have access to Italian outfits outside of Tunisia (few prem squads being exception)

On contrary:

  • we still haven’t gotten the US/Jap assault engineers that were promised prior the merge. Instead of the Japanese getting tech trr AR, we’re getting totally gimmicky nom meta stuff.
  • Two of the four factions are without BR4 tech tree rifles.
  • When they come out with some new thing, like a new camera for the BAs or hull MGs, for the tanks that didn’t have them working. They are only partially implementing it and we will have to wait months if not years before they implement it across the board.
  • TT are totally screwed right now. BR2 stuff is on the fourth tier and so. Creating exclusive items for seal clubbers.
  • Lack of small 6 day events. We could have those permanently, on a weekly basis. There’s enough past BP/event stuff to recycle. Might as well recycle tons of decals from WT. They just don’t care.

And this is what comes to mind at first.

So it is not some recent negativity, it is disappointment.

Damn it all!

Not at all. The chosen mechanics in warthunder have always heavily favoured USSRs strengths from the ground up

Theres a reason USSR reputation is = “hold W and win or stalinium”

  • Angled armor = troll armor (After that ERA takes over)
  • Excessive HE filler = huge benefit
  • USSR ammunition extra perk = better pen vs angled armor
  • many UFO flight models (the 1-153 has biggest noob stomper forever)
  • less fire chance in the code

Its so user friendly it breeds lazy players (its so funny watching guys that spend all day holding W in their KV-1 and T-34 when they come face to face with a captured KV-1/T-34…no idea what to do and get plastered)

U.K is the red headed step child in warthunder. Their best equipment/ammunition gets added (or not at all) heavily nerfed because it would be “too OP”. But instead of making it at least equal with the current best in class, it gets nerfed to require large skill requirement (brimstone missle addition took the cake)…so only those that know what they are doing stick with it

I used to be a USSR main in all games (loved them in sudden strike)…until i played gaijin games and they ruined it for me. I still summon the urge to play them from time to time, but my mates that played with me from the start (10 plus years ago) straight up refuse to touch USSR at all. And now they carry that prejudice into all games. Wanna play as USSR?..“noooope”

3rd testing soon? And then the 4th? :snail: You shouldn’t be closing the server at least we could play something new.
