References

I added a bunch of references from the official WT website, and removed the tag. Some additional references would still be helpful, however. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.183.186.47 (talk) 02:20, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Note to others: Please search/add (for) some other sources than the Official WT website, because we have enough sources from there now. Redalert2fan (talk) 20:17, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Reviews

This page is missing reviews. Just saying.--Casvdschee (talk) 07:43, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

There were reviews, but they were totally removed on 29 September 2015 by someone whose only contribution was the removal of that section along with some other miscellaneous edits done on the article:

these additions have been added to the game as a personal opinion, the originator obviously has an axe to gring and frankly I'm surprised that your nuetrality stance allowed this to go through
the wjole section needs to be deleted, let's stick to what the game is please guys, dont turn wiki into a review engine

First of all, it was not originally intended to be an opinion. It accumulated to be one (with a bunch of unreferenced sources) but instead of pulling each one out from the root, everything was just deleted altogether, which is far harsher than keeping a stub. Second, the fact that the remover states "the originator obviously has an axe to [grind]" discounts the remover's own neutrality since he is putting his opinion that the game is being reviewed too negatively before the actual facts and referenced material showing both sides. Third, he says "your" which means perhaps he doesn't really understand that Wikipedia is not a person, and his continued misunderstanding is then confirmed when (fourth) he believes that adding a "reception" section somehow turns Wikipedia into a review engine, whereas the reception section is intended to be a paragraph summary of key points made by game critics both launch and throughout the game's lifespan. --Longbyte1 (talk) 05:36, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

We lack info for versions 1.25 and 1.27.

As the tittle says, we lack info for versions 1.25 and 1.27. Please add info to the timeline section to make it complete. 76.0.99.169 (talk) 17:37, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

I'll do what I can. I'll have to dig through some of the development logs to find the various patch notes and updates.151.190.40.1 (talk) 10:41, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

Physics for Simulator Battles and Realistic Battles

The majority of the community that plays Simulator Battles claims that the physics are identical to the ones in Realistic Battles and I myself play both modes and agree, however there is lacking creditable evidence that they are indeed identical, and more so that they are actually different (as stated before). The problem is that the development team is somewhat secretive and the ones that deal with the community do not actually know about the game engine itself. For now I have included a forum post as an example however I am sure it is to be removed, but I rather have no information regarding this than providing information that actually seems wrong with no evidence as opposed to speculations.

I'm a Mod for the game, and while I can't go into major specifics behind the physics engine, I can say that the physics are similar between the Realistic and Simulator modes; however they aren't identical. There are some factors figured into the Simulator side of things that are not considered in the Realistic. Factors such as engine torque. Kitsunedawn (talk) 11:46, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

I still have to counter torque, I play RB with joystick with "full real controls" settings because mouse aim controls have problems on my computer due to the fact I play War Thunder with less than 10 frames per second at times and the other joystick modes aren't worth it since the twitchy bounce effect from sudden movements is still there on simplified and realistic settings (and auto-trim is bugged on those modes too). I still suffer the same physics challenges and seem identicle so I'm not sure what you're on about with engine torque since they seem the same to me. And that includes bugs like the F7F's resultant torque being clockwise though should be anticlockwise (viewed from cockpit looking forward) along with a whole bunch of other physics-related bugs. Don't bother asking me to report bugs since I absolutely dislike the attitude that the War Thunder moderation system has when it comes to bureaucracy and managing the community.ZdrytchX (talk) 13:35, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Mac OSX

The support for Mac OSX is negligible, the game is not cross platform — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kipjegasman (talk • contribs) 15:56, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Do you mean that Mac can't play with windows? The game is actually cross platform though, I for sure know that PS4 can play with PC, PS4 players are shown with an * in front of their name on PC. Redalert2fan (talk) 23:18, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Not An MMO

Wikipedia defines an MMO as having hundreds to thousands of players in a single instance. War Thunder typically has up to 32. It isn't an MMO. Vaxine19 (talk) 18:02, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
