Just got my beta invite for this game.
http://warthunder.com/en/media/screenshots/
-
Looks nice
-
I'm getting a little gunshy about good graphics. Seems like the more time they spend making eyecandy, the less they spend
on gameplay and realism. Hopefully I will be surprised this time.
-
Cool I just got an invite too, setting it up now! :aok

Download speed sucks.. can't get above 500KB/s.. the file size 7GB+

Is this what world of planes turned into?
Anyway I am getting 2.7mb/s download speeds. :rock
-
Hmmm. Me thinks i will have to check this one out. :aok
-
Is this what world of planes turned into?
Yes. I remember some of the screenshots. I can't say that the new title is an improvement, but at least you won't confuse it with World Of Warplanes anymore.
-
I think you need to have received an invite to play the Beta, I signed up for it awhile back.
-
Got an invite also but at 95k download the game will be out and finished by the time i get to it :)
-
Got an invite myself but the download for the launcher is corrupted.
ack-ack

I am downloading it right now my malware keeps blocking flies :bhead. I am stating to wonder about this?

IT MAY BE A SCAM IF SO MANY PEOPLE KEEP GETTING INVITES FOR A GAME I NEVER HEARD OF :eek:

Just because you never heard of a game doesn't mean it doesn't exist or that it's a scam. Oh, and your Caps Lock button is stuck.

thanks for letting me know sorry for that

Been with it since the alpha, it gets better with each update but will take some time like anything else. Right now it's in closed beta. Their forums have an outline to the overall plan before launch. It's a pretty fun game and there's some unreleased material they are still working on as well. If you got an invite make sure to follow the email and remember they are in russia so their speeds aren't that great at the moment they don't have a USA server yet. There should be some in game footage on youtube of it running around. It's certainly not a scam either. Hope you enjoy.

I have downloaded World of tanks and it took i day :cry
I'm assuming you've never had the pleasure of being bound to a dial-up connection. When I had it, it'd take a day just to download the AH High Resolution Pack. :old:
Coogan
-
The flight model is floppy. I don't like it. I wish they could take AH like style combat and put it into a customizable environment with upgrades and what not.
-
The graphics are very pretty. My big concern is always the flight models though. I have yet to find a game that comes close to AH in regards to the flight models.
-
I'm guessing it's based on Il-2?
-
I got the invite but couldn't remember if I signed up then I saw it was Gaijin and remembered that was the game world of planes was supposed to be. I haven't downloaded yet and honestly don't think I will download it at all.
-
I think it's fun, but the only thing they have going right now is Arcade mode, that'll probably change.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxzUFo4BdSQ&feature=youtu.be
Me playing, lowest graphics settings.
-
No the historic arena is far better than arcade. The FM is a lot better in there and so are the fights. Still needs some tweaking and time.
-
have yet to download it(net is capped atm)

NICE KRUP
-
So far the only it has over AH is the eye candy, the FM still has a lot of work to go.
ack-ack
-
Also the views suck! Why can't they make it so I can have fixed views with the hatswitch?
-
Yeah the view mode sucks majorly, and the..stalling is odd..lots of eye candy tho..and seeing the pilot in the cockpit is a cool thing...not like your gonna be staring at your feet all flight,but still cool.
Ill give it a 6 of out 10 stars.

Lol I haven't been able to stall really. You just keep flying almost.
-
Thats what i mean, its like trying to stall a 163, the plane doesnt really loose that much control, it just mushes on and you loose alt/unable to nose up.
I also HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY (cannot stress this enough) dislike the WEP system, 4-6 seconds of wep after that it heats up and you loose almost 20% engine power for a few seconds untill things return to normal. BLAGH. :mad: Its like a bad crimson skys system throwback.
All in all its..decent, but it has yet to give me the rush aces high does. The instant action also kinda blows, starting out mid air and close to the enemy just sucks (for any air plane game), and it looks as if the "simulated/war" with landing and taking off will be with premium accounts only, hence.. $$$ for something that doesn't feel 100% LIKE a simulator.
But i have only been playing it sense release and things change....sometimes.
p.s. I understand the arcade mode is limited (and the player count), but so far fighting a spitfire from 1944 with x4 20mm in a pre 1930's mono plane with x2 7.62 is a balance issues one should roll eyes at or piss from laughter.
-
Lol I haven't been able to stall really. You just keep flying almost.
The same thing plagued Wings of Prey, not surprised since WT uses the same flight model with the flying on rails feeling with no difference in feel between the various planes.. It's also very similar in concept to World of Warplanes, the only real difference is the better graphics and internal cockpit. It took me a minute to realize that I had logged into WT and not WoWP.

-
is this free i have a invite? :old:
or do they ask for your credit car details at end of two day download :old:
-
I'm guessing it's based on Il-2?
No, well, it kind of is and it isn't. The only "IL2" thing about it is War Thunder is built upon engine (graphical and flight model) that was used for Wings of Prey (and Birds of Prey on console) and all planes have the flying on rails feeling with no real "feel" for the different flying characteristics of each plane.
War Thunder is basically the same game as World of Warbirds but with better graphics and some other minor cosmetic differences but the over all game play and features are pretty much the same. If it wasn't for the difference in graphics, one would probably be hard pressed to tell which game was Word of Warplanes and which one was War Thunder.

Its not free!

it will be when it goes live.

just been online.
Seems a bit messy to me.
I don't think AH have anything to be concerned about at present.
It was a very big download, which I can't see what for.
I will give it another go later.
Rise of Flight and AH are the benchmark at present.
-
This one is about 30% ready yet. I Meeting the devs last thursday. Very impressive gents
BTW i like it :aok
-
I had invite but how do you get into missions there is a long wait and then your booted.
Ask the developers to get rid of the haze Duran it was rubbish in wings of prey as well.
If they are Russian they don't take it well constructive criticism.
Impressive in what way they have lots of money :rofl
The control set up is seems very good.

well, seems like you didn't spend much time there ;)
-
I'd love to try it. I'd even spend a few bucks on one of the expansion deals to get a beta key. It just gives me an error. I guess until they fix their problems, I'll wait.
-
I spent time in a section taking out ack at a factory it was very nice :old:
The pilot in seat is very nice :old:
Getting into a historical mission is impossible.
Is buying things a points thing or real money?
Like I said its a bit confusing
-

It's really not all that impressive. The only thing it has going for it so far is the eye candy, which looks very good and if you've every seen Wings of Prey then you'll have a good idea as to what it looks like. Other than that, it's a complete clone of World of Warplanes.
ack-ack

Its too messy :old:
You just want to log on and fly :old:
to many areanas you cant get into :old:
It has to be customer freindly :old:

these are ingame scenes:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwbm6xSXabM
the graphics are superb, you should tryout historical battles, or create with the sandbox mode your own sim settings fight. Try this and stay away from arcade mode, because that's exactly whats its called! Arcade!
The FM is not ready yet, same for the DM , the whole game will improve a lot during the next month, when its ready it will be much different. There are a lot of good things on the way, and those alpha testers from the first hour like i am have direct access to the developers via a bug tracker! The Devs listen to the cutomers! You just have to realise they adress 2 markets with one products, there is the arcade market, and the sim market. In pure sim mode you have currently no icons, even not on friendly side, no hud display etc, real hard core. So they added the so called realistic mode, to make some things a bit easier, icons etc. But we will see how it will be when its ready
-
a FM is not made in a month, and I believe it's a low priority for them. I asked them directly about the FM and they answered it was super realistic already. :banana:
hard sell.

well, all i can say, my informations are from first hand! i meet the Devs and discussed some issues, just click onto my LD site, and you know why....
-
They invite me to Beta test and I cant get into missions and when I click on anything you either need to subscribe or have certain level first.
This is nonsense Dhyran and you know it. :old:
You might want to tell that I said that or get them to email me.
i am the customer and the set up it gibberish.
This is typical of European projects they are playing big shots and paying lip service to the customers.
AH is run by yanks who want to make money and they provide a first rate game and good customer service.
Rise of Flight was appalling until another Yank took over and told the Russkys this is a product and treat your customers properly.
Its clear as the summer sun :old:
1. Look at the competition and use what works in regards to setup
2. Get rid of premier accounts nonsense and points to access sections of the game.
3. Get rid of those silly pictures of blokes wearing flying caps. (its a bit fruity)
4. The main menu is like a spaghetti bolonaise
5. The producers of this game will get all moody if they read this because they are silly.
6. Listen to the customer and remember how and why Wings of Prey was appaling. (and it was)
7. I presume the Beta invite is just a ploy to get customers to subscribe.
8. I will subscribe if the game is like AH or Rise of Flight ie. click fly and fly not stand on your head sing a song and press Alt esc and pie shop.
9 Why is Dhyran sayng this game is good? what are you getting out of this? can I have some? :rofl
10. I know in Rise of Flight the owners made a big point about not providing servers, they have links to this game?
-
well, zack, we were talking a bout a game which is maybe finished for 30-40%, but you don't wanna discuss, so you just ended the the discussion here for me.
Its allright :lol
-
:rofl
Moody man.
The games poo so there :rofl
-
I apologise Dhyran I did not mean to offend :)
They have given me 650 adlers to use :old:
What are lions for?
-
I apologise Dhyran I did not mean to offend :)
nahh, no bad emotions on my side, i just don't wanna waste my time, i am there to test till the alpha started, and i am focused on the sim settings. Luck for all of us, we are living in a free world, so each ones can have different views about things, like this game or others. But its reallly not important enough to start a fight about it! Maybe to clarify one point, i do not compare it with AH! Its a different thing, like RoF is also a different flight game which i reelly like too!
cheers

What I don't like is when my 190 can be outrun by an I-16, Brewster, A6M etc...pathetic.

They're not outrunning you.. they're shooting you from unbelievable distances.. it sucks I know. :lol
-

Or both. I didn't know early war I-16s could compete with late war 190 D-13's...and shoot me from 1km+ heh.

Nah the match making system is borked beyond repair already.
pre 1940's plane with x2 7.62 is suppose to take on a team with x4 20mm armed spits, hurrs and other 1944 super rides.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOo
I also haaate the ammo system, use all your ammo,wait 18 seconds then get a full clip again,as if your crew is flying on your wing with belts of ammo hanging over there sholders, hmph..maby thats why the flight model feels so wrong?
Quickly,ditch the invisible ground crew on your wings!!!
OH,and the fact a fighter with x2 500-1000k bombs under its wings can out climb,out turn and out fly a early war bird with a clean setup, roadkill.
-Things that bother me the most-
The view system, while it has the ability to move ones head around much like AH, it still lacks the instant snap,and the ability for the head to come BACK to its original spot by releasing the key, if you pan left,you must pan allll the way back right again, OR bind another key to center your head,but no..you have to bind TWO keys..for the horizon and the vertical. I lost 2 joystick buttons JUST so i can get my head centered with the gun sight again, unacceptable for any flight sim.

Snap ish view works fine for me.

I think Track Ir is best, I tried hat switch but it was poor.
Probly if i took the time i could set views up :old:
I flew on some historic missions which were OK, but this gaining scores and xp is very odd.
You gain experience as in AH by the fact you stop getting shot down.
Limiting access to levels is not my scene, imagine if AH had locked sections based on skill.
Its 30% developed i have been told.
The game should either be set up like AH or Rise of Flight, you either monthly subscribe or buy planes :old:
In ROF i dont fly A1 Carree missions (if i want to be marked or tested for a leader board) i know i am rubbish.
In AH i dont keep score as i am not interested and we all know it can be played if you have hours of time.
The game is already developed just streamline it and set it up like either of the above :old:
Wings of prey was nice but they had a inability to just allow people to log onto a server for a hour or two without messing about, some of the developers as we know cant see the wood for the trees :)
-

I use Trackir for myself at AH and also at WT, both with great results, i would stop flying if my trackir would be broken! its really a must have if you're a real propnose :)

The Church of David Wales in cooperation with the I Wish foundation have created our own wwii air to air combat sim. We are still tweaking the flight model, but the graphics are second to none.
Cost of subscription $1.64 / month
Here is some in-game video footage of a 1v1 between a 109F and a Spit V

Snap ish view works fine for me.
Uhm..what option do you use,cause i couldnt figure it out, and i still have 2 buttons used to center my vertical and horizion views so i can just shoot. HELP! :(
-
I gave up with the hat views and used track IR.
Still cannot understand the different areans.
They appear to be trying to cater for everyone in the game ie simulator,arcade etc.
I have been playing it for a week and its very confusing, I would like to pick a plane from a list and fly it.
I don't want to stand on my head, wear a hat , sing a song and then get the plane I want, who has thought of this bizarre idea?
Tell me the monthly price for subscritption to play the game get rid of the different packages you can buy its messy.
War Thunder is just Wings of Prey which I put back on my Pc on monday and took off again on wednesday, the daft little movies in it to waste time and the stopwatch to finish a mission are rubbish.
I am bored of War thunder already and thats a shame

Perdweeb and I use a program called Glovepie, script runner. I can give you the script...I use an X52 so it is setup on my hat, but you can use numpad etc. There is no way to do snap views in game, but I had it kind of working with the in game stuff. The script is easy to setup.

Is it just me or is WT really just Battlefield '42 with slightly more realistic flight models and no enemy soldiers jumping like they are on pogo sticks? Perhaps it is just the fact I'm only trying the "arcade arenas" but then, that's all I seem to be able to access :headscratch:
I keep trying to like it :pray but I'm just failing... or maybe I'm not the one failing. :uhoh
