War Thunder

Among the graphic presets, there is 'Movie' next to 'Maximum', but it is explicitly told not to set it. If you see that it is recommended not to be used unless you are going to take replays, videos, screenshots, etc., it is explicitly said to only be used for War Thunder cinematic production or filming. Of course, only high specifications can be run. Still, it is a very well-optimized game.[18] It runs smoothly even on a PC with moderate performance, but it is advantageous to set it to maximum because the frame rate is quite large, although it is not much different from the 'maximum' graphics option.

It entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the flight simulation with the largest number of aircraft. # Looking at the record, a total of 303 aircraft were registered in 2013, but based on the Winged Lions update, a whopping 887 aircraft appear. In addition, including ground forces, helicopters, naval equipment, and equipment that is currently gone, there are at least 1,500 units. Although the degree of implementation may be slightly lower than that of a full-scale simulation, it can be considered overwhelming in terms of the amount of experience that can be made with a variety of realistically implemented aircraft.

As a sort of tradition, major updates are always released on Tuesdays or Thursdays. Other than these two days of the week, no major updates are made. However, only major updates are limited, and submarine patches and bug fixes are also done on other days of the week. However, these days, even large-scale updates are not always carried out only on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Ramming, the act of mid-air collision between aircraft due to limited air combat mode, occurs more often than expected, so it is quite famous among users. As soon as you start the game, airplanes spawn right next to you, and not just one, not two, but several crash into each other. When you try to shoot down an enemy plane head-on , you may miss the timing and be unable to dodge it, or if the enemy plane approaches you at high speed, even if you shoot down the enemy plane, the fragments or fuselage you shot down may shatter your aircraft and kill you. Also, when flying in formation with other members of the squadron, there are cases where the players hit each other while playing, saying they are doing aerobatics and formation flying. At the beginning of the game's release, ramming was judged to be a kill and you could receive points, but it was judged to be overly popular, so a patch changed it so that when ramming, neither side gets points nor assists.[19] Still, if you use this to treat important equipment like bombers, you won't get any points, but it can turn the game around.[20] Unintentional ramming by trolls, newbies, and mistakes still occurs frequently from low to high ranks.

For reference, ramming between aircraft is carefully designed in its own way, so if you hit a bomber like a B-29 with a weak-framed fighter like the Zero Sen, it may not take any damage depending on the angle at which it hits.[21] However, there is a technical problem with the air-ground ramming system, excluding ramming between aircraft. If you hit a ground object other than an opposing fighter, no damage is taken. However, this is now a thing of the past, and now, if an aircraft hits a ground target such as a truck, armored vehicle, or anti-aircraft gun at high speed, the truck is ejected and destroyed. However, this is limited to equipment with thin or no armor, and it is not possible to hit bunkers, tanks, or warships. Moreover, even if it is slightly off, there is no damage at all. So, it is better to crash into an enemy aircraft than to crash into land or sea equipment without bullets.

If an ally clashes viciously with your side, report it to the operator.[22] If you press the tab during the game, a list of users will appear. If you right-click on the ID to be reported, you will see Report in the cursor menu. Just click on it and enter the reason and explanation for the report there. However, all reporting processes must be conducted in English. There is also another way to report. You can see the list of users who played with you after the game type, and you can do it there.

Bagpipe Incident: This is a fun incident caused by Gaijin . On October 4, 2013, when the ground forces were announced, numerous users rushed to the Internet broadcast or site and surrounded the War Thunder booth. After the dancers' performance was over, it was finally time for the presentation, and some Scottish men showed up with bagpipes and played for a while. Because of this, users who had been waiting for the announcement were outraged, and at the time, the forum also heated up by asking, "What do you mean by bagpipes on a tank?" Since then, whenever Gaijin goes fishing, he criticizes him for 'bagpipes' and this incident is often talked about. Video of the bagpipe incident in question

Oculus Rift can be used. Alternatively, you can install a head tracking program and have the webcam recognize when you turn your head. This feature is also available on PS4 .

An app that delivers news about War Thunder has been released. The name is War Thunder Assistant. For iOS and Android . itunes Google Play
It supports more useful functions for games than you might think, the most practical of which are that if your PC and the device using the app use the same router, you can display the tactical map your account is playing by linking with the server in real time, and it supports a function that shows the comprehensive status of the aircraft at a glance when operating the aircraft. Through this, you can see both TAS and IAS in real time, and it is really good because it makes manual engine operation such as rate of climb, engine RPM, mixture, and prop pitch easier. There must be a program that prints directly from a PC, but since it is a function supported by the official app, it is easier to set up.

Starting with patch 1.39, user skins were supported. It only applies to your aircraft and is invisible to others.

Skins that can be purchased in the market in the game or can be unlocked as a skins challenge can be seen to others if they are set after unlock. The combination of skins and decal systems provided by the game is to be able to show off various individuality to others.

Unlike airplanes, tanks have a double skin structure, and the custom file provided to the user is the final paint file. So, if you open the created user skin file, you can see that it consists of only a simple camouflage pattern. The mapping file inside the camouflage pattern cannot be obtained in a general way, but can be extracted using the CDK tool.

It's surprising, but among the profile pictures that Gaijin has included in the game, there is a Korean, and that is pilot Tak Kyeong-hyeon . To obtain it, purchase three rank 4 equipment.

Surprisingly, the details were well researched. Most of the equipment appearing in the game was changed to color as in actual history from the middle of the Cold War when black and white or color photography began to be used, but now with the update, it has been changed to 3D models instead of photographs. The Red Tails version of the P-51 actually has black people on board.

When playing a game, a FATAL error sometimes appears. After running the launcher, click the gear on the right side of the graphics options to go to advanced settings, and then turn off NVIDIA highlights in the debugging settings.

The Golden Eagle payment methods on the official website are quite diverse. Visa and MasterCard are the basic payment methods serviced in Korea, as well as Kakao, Toss, transportation cards (T-money, Cashbee), and other cultural gift certificates. It seems that they are trying to prevent people from even saying that they cannot make payments because they do not have a bankbook or card. Of course, the fees for gift certificates are quite high, so if you have a card, use card payment if possible. Steam payments are also possible if you are a user connected to Steam. However, since Steam charges a fee, we recommend purchasing from the official website by linking your account to the official website. There are also other means such as Amazon and Laser.

Entering 2020, videos promoting War Thunder began to be exposed in earnest on YouTube advertising videos targeting Korean users. Looking at the fact that even Korean voice actors were mobilized to promote War Thunder, it seems that Gaijin has started to target the Korean market in earnest with the money he has earned so far.

If you use the Windows 10 operating system, perhaps because it is an old game that has been released for 8 years, intermittent drops in frames occur. Seeing that the symptom disappears when the compatibility check is set to Windows 7 Service Pack 1, it seems that compatibility with the Windows 10 operating system needs to be improved.

In the aftermath of the Maple Story probability manipulation incident that is ongoing in early 2021, some Maple users have flowed into War Thunder. War Thunder is certainly not weak in charging incentives, but compared to Maple, you can see that it is a good game. Of course, the genre itself is different from Maple, and paying money does not make the equipment stronger.[23] As time goes by, unless users find War Thunder really fun, they tend to fall for other RPGs.

Customer service is very unfriendly.
When I try to report a bug, it asks me to submit the entire bug report, but it doesn't tell me where or how to find it. Moreover, if I upload a replay, they ask me to submit a screenshot, and when I give them a screenshot, they ask for a replay... Moreover, because it is a Russian game company, even if I ask a question in English, there are many cases where the intention of the question is not understood.[24] I was hiding behind a building, and when I asked how the shell fragments penetrated and hit me, it was common for people to give different answers as if they were answers from a fellow student. Additionally, if you have a question about an event, you may be asked to take a screenshot and send it again.

After the Russian-Ukrainian war broke out in 2022, they expressed their position on #official Twitter, saying, "We want the war to only occur in the game." Additionally, because of this war, as users from Ukraine, Russia, and other countries began bickering in the chat window too often, all in-game chat was temporarily banned.[25] However, despite this, it does not prevent some Russian-supporting users from wearing the Russian military's Z paint , raising the blood pressure of Ukraine-supporting users.

Starting in 2022, YouTube short videos featuring topics such as the Internet and War Thunder memes are being uploaded to the official YouTube channel . There are reactions that say it is similar to TikTok videos, and scenes of Korea are often seen, such as a real photo of the K-9 self-propelled howitzer at the War Memorial of Korea or the Arabaetgil sign and Korean keyboard in Escape from the Basement. Self-inflicted jokes, such as the difficulties experienced by users in the game or the controversy over the leak of military secrets in the game, are also uploaded, and videos of good quality are regularly uploaded, so they receive good reviews.[26]

In November 2022, at the same time as the 10th anniversary event, it also ranked 12th in concurrent users based on Steam.

In May 2023, Japanese animation-themed advertisements began appearing on YouTube, perhaps targeting otaku users. In the advertising video, the scene from the anime Girls und Panzer the Movie where BT-42 from Keizoku High School defeats the M26 Pershing from the college selection team was also parodied.[27] As a bonus, dakimakura decorations depicting original characters have been added to the game, which is becoming a hot topic among players.[28][29]

The armored vehicle crew, who succeeded in defeating the T-90M with the M2 Bradley in the Russian-Ukrainian War in January 2024, said that they took advantage of their experience playing War Thunder to focus their attacks on areas where they could effectively hit with a 25mm cannon, such as the tracks, main gun, and turret ring. Among these, it was confirmed that the turret ring was broken and rotated out of control due to an attack aimed at the turret ring, and it was recognized as destruction through neutralization of firepower. # So, a user implemented it.

As an Easter egg, if you click on the small banana that appears while editing a tank 100 times, you will receive a banana tank decoration. A parody of Banana Game, which was once popular as a pseudo-NFT game on Steam .

If you land on a sub airfield of 'enemy camp' without AAA in the aerial realistic battle, there is a small Easter egg that appears "the time left to be detained by captive."

If you look closely at the anti-aircraft machine gun of the M2A4, an American tree reserve tank, you can see a snail, the mascot of the manufacturer Gaijin.

The server is trash, so disconnections happen occasionally or frequently that day.

Xbox Game Pass Subscribers (Essential, Premium, PC, Ultimate) can receive the game pass bundle. ( War Thunder Game Pass preferential benefit )

In the case of current War Thunder namuwiki equipment documents, if it is not a recently released equipment, there are many cases in which it was written a long time ago and left without being updated. As the game meta changes, there are a lot of equipment that were good in the past but are not good to use these days, so we recommend that you do not blindly trust the namuwiki document and instead research and ride them through communities or internet searches.
