#WarThunder

[SnowaxeD]

I like how they did Panzer of the lake, Nice.

[merkavamkivm]

Fun fact: the S-199 was infamous for shooting itself in the propeller.

[zarabner]

Lets take a momento and see the time that German soldier says "O panzer of the lake, whats tour wisdom?"

[stevenhussey]

i love when Bruce or any one else talks about german or japenese planes cause i had a family member who flow in a b-17g and his plane was shot down 1 but he made it back to britian to get his second plane and he survived till the end of the war and thx war thunder for putting in the b-17g sincerly halojumpers

[rain-er]

I like all the historical improvements and realistic details on vehicles.

[capable_secret]

I don't know why but Bruce's voice calms me down when suffering in War thunder

[Razielmn]

Thank you Bruce, and tell the Gaijin Entertainment crews, you guys works so hard and thank y'all

[leinad]

Will we at some point have the ability to remove side-skirts, storage boxes, and generally customise everything that can be shot off, from tanks in the hangar as a cosmetic choice?

[TKSubDude]

Love the EC maps at high tier. Good to see you back Bruce!

[slipperywhael]

Q: are there any plans for the near future to add more mid tier SPAA for the US tech tree? There aren’t many good options right now and there is a drop off from 5.3 I think? To 8.0.

[MechaG]

Fan-freak'n-tastic! Loved this episode! ❤

I have a few questions I'd like to ask:
-Back when the P-61 Black Widows were announced for War Thunder, Gaijin mentioned they plan on implementing a modification to allow players to lock it's turret forward as an offensive weapon. It's been quite some time since then, and we still haven't received it. Are we still going to get it?

-Will the Type 2 Ka-Mi ever receive a modification allowing players to mount/dismount it's pontoons the same way the Type 3 Ka-Chi does?

-When the S-199 is equipped with it's 2x MG 17 7.92 mm and 2x MG 131 13 mm MGs, it's unable to fire them independently. On the flip side, the Ki-44-II Hei Shoki is equipped with 4x Ho-103 12.7 mm MGs, but it's able to fire the pairs mounted in the cowling and wings independently from each other despite them being all the same type of weapon. Will both these issues be fixed?

-Can we _PLEASE_ finally have the Ki-43-III Ko Hayabusa added to the Japanese Aviation Tree (as a Researchable Vehicle)? 🙏

[ThaRealRizzo]

Still glad you’re back and feeling better Bruce

I work with audio, so I'm a Huge Fan of the sound updates we always get, the new RWR sounds are fantastic and the tanks engine and suspension sounds great too. I just hope that we can get new lines and voiceovers for more modern vehicles. It sounds a bit odd to me to hear WW2 lines in MBTs, Jets, Helicopters and even Frigates. I can't wait too see when we will get an update on that, that's one of the things I'm looking forward the most.

[DaleksInc]

I'd like it if you lowered repair costs in the upcoming updates. As it stands, they're ridiculously high.

[Mr_Burke]

Q: Any idea of a masive map rework? A lot of maps are unfair for one spawn and too small for high br

[sparky]

Q: Do aircraft bullets fly faster when shot from a moving plane compared to one that is stationary? And does it affect penetration?

[ImAFatCheezIt]

6:56
I have a question, what is that piece of metal on the front that raises up when soviet tanks swim supposed to do? Please explain

[tomasdobias]

Well there are few things I would like to see being inproved for example textures with trees in longer distances look like a wall even when I am close and trees dont load Well then trees look like a pancake second thing is waves in ships battles those waves only look like those are moving but it should really look like small tsunami pushing to the side of the Big ship. This should turn a ship to the side so the ship will start to drown although nearby teammate should help that player to get back to the game. 3rd thing is to have better textures but I am not talking specifically. It is simply better to have better running and looking game. Helicopters in simulator and realistic battles should have their bases at longer distances so in higher BR with helicopters players will come when battle is in the highest Pressure. In lower BR of the helicopters players should be able to get to the Battlefield when IT IS most needed. Sorry for my english.

[DaleksInc]

Q: When are you going to let the Radio Operator/Gunner in Shermans, Panzers, etc. operate his machine gun?

[LaCostaNostraManoNeraKCMO]

Is there any chance to try out Submarines, in the near future? Sub-on-Sub battles and Fleet sinking. Thanks guys!
