Can somewone please tell me someting?

Will we have "mixed online battles"? like, instead of having AI controled ground forces (and ships, wen they release the navy) will we figth with real online ground and navy units?

And will the fixed artilhery, as well as transport ships and suply trucks (ect...) be avaliable to play?

Also, is there going to be those giant maps for tanks? because in that case, their speed needs to be increased somehow...

I think there will be a gamemodes that combines all forces, so Navy, Airforce and Groundforces. The stuff allready works on the maps so I see no reason why it shouldn't work when the groundforces are player controlled. Tanks are allready fighting against each other, though controlled by the AI. You could have tank fights with quite accurate distances and use your vehicles according to what is needed. You could use your squads quite effective, so two people take the tanker role, one guy plays AA and the another guy gives airsupport.

In the vehicle selection you see tanks and planes mixed. After all I imagine it to be like Battlefield but with a bit bigger scale. The only thing that worries me is the player count. I think it is 32 players atm and you would need to double that atleast to get effective fighting going.

There is a gamemode planed called "World War". Idk whether this is the one that will combine all three forces.

The original plan was to introduce three different modes (air, army, navy) fighting seperately and once all those were done there would be a fourth gamemode ''World War'' in which everything would be combined, but this would still take a loong time to completely develop so there would have been plenty of time to develop design and gameplay decisions regarding this grand mode, because for example in the current state planes are very overpowered when fighting ground vehicles.

Based on the new tank footage we're seeing I'm not sure if they're still sticking to these original plans, because you could see a mixed vehicle selection of both planes and tanks. Might just be because it's still at an early stage, I don't know.

that long developement time sounds to be distant as like when we asked about the pacific front in FH2 4-5 years ago :P

Just checked it in this video, at about 13 minutes you see combined combat between tanks and airplanes, both player controlled. Good times are coming.  ;D

Yeah, I stopped playing WoT a while ago. This had nothing to do with actual tanks but some wacky prototypes of which 1 or 2 exemplars were made or even crazy stuff of which only some drawings existed became standard tanks in this game. The thing that just did it for me was the introduction of the Leopard I (built from: 1965) in this crazy game.

War Thunder is a huge step from this, as they didn´t fill in as many crazy prototypes. Some are there, like the Japanese jet, but these are exceptions - not the rule.

War Thunder developers somewhere else stated that they prefer a more realistic approach, as historical battles shows. I just hope that Panthers don´t get matched versus some post war tanks again like they do with the 262 right now.

Common, was 2.30 a.m and I was a bit tired.  ;D

And Damaso was asking for it and nobody gave a clear answer.

dont worrie, WT will add a few prototypes to the german tree to make it more competitive againts '50s planes like the saber and mig 15. Talking about the me262HGIII or Focke-Wulf Ta 183 :P

Not sure whether you are serious or sarcastic ;). I´m not worried about Germans being too weak, I´m worried about exactly this inclusion of wacky stuff. Counter stuff that doesn´t belong into the game with more stuff that doesn´t belong into the game and then this happens:



That´s what killed WoT for me. ^^

I don't mind modern tanks or blueprint tanks (or inventions pretty much like T28 Prototype), they make the game quite dynamic and with nice content.

WoT is nice as long as there are no brainless players...


That is one of the reasons I don't like WT, the lack of concept aircraft. If I wanted to fly Mustangs and 109s I would play IL-2.., these "blueprint" fighters, bombers, figher-bombers etc, at least FOR ME, would make the game interesting.

IIRC I saw the "final" German tree some time ago and it had some of their experimental aircraft in it, hope they add it sometime.
