Hey Gajin, as you know, many players love your game, the graphics and game mechanics are something else, none of this would have been possible just 10 years ago! But why is it that the company ignores ANY input from the community? Like an authoritarian government, you guys close down opinions your don't like, this has been seen on the forums, and in the Shooting Ranges's Hotline no matters of importance are EVER discussed! Then why call it "Hotline"? Gajin, you did something much worse to the game than give Stock HEAT to tech tree tanks, you screwed with BR instead of decompressing it. Not only that, the repair cost when up 5 or 6 fold on many aircraft! How ridiculous is that? The CL-13 MK.6 moved to 9.7 with a 33k repair cost?! The G.91YS and J32B moved to 10.0 ABOVE the Lightning F.6! As if two transonic aircraft are better than a mach 2 aircraft? This is ridiculous. I suggest the BR gets decompressed to at least 11.0, and that most planes at 9.7 get their OWN separate Battle rating, where they can't meet mach 2 jets but can't meet 9.0/9.3 jets and smash them either. These planes should be put in their own BR, there is enough of them: At 10.0 (Once BR is decompressed to 11.0 that is) should sit the Hunter F.6, perhaps the Lightning F.6, all F-100 variants, all Starfighter variants (except the Chinese one with broken missiles), all MiG-19 variants, and the Chinese and Russian MiG-21F-13, and don't forget to bring along the new Q-5, the Jaguar, the T-2 Mitsubishi, the G.91YS, the J32B, and finally, the Po-2! This aircraft BR would be very healthy, with everyone having a good chance, and Top tier jets would remain at 11.0/11.3 and would not fight against this BR. It makes sense, although, I don't wish to change Gajin's mind, that is an unrealistic, childish idea, but I hope you all will spread and share this idea with the community, as I think it can fix top tier jets, as a contemporary solution. And the F-11A might also fit this BR, just lower all repair costs, because this game's economics are crazy, it's difficult enough to make lions. Have a good day everyone!

10:38 The Strv seems really excited for the battle to start!

"Meanwhile the american tanks had both HE and AP for both guns"

the M3 Lee/Grant doesnt have HE for its 37mm cannon in WT. Not that it matters, just as a little side note.

[irapharel]

Do you play war thunder bruce (narrator)? :)

[drew]

Wow so cool im so glad the U.S aviation tree is harder to grind now! Plus we still aint got stock apfsds.

[lemonboy]

[gabrieladorno]

In a fight between the Pershing and the Tiger I who would win, along with the Super Pershing and King Tiger?

2. The Australian Army had no matilda tank early in the War. The units in the Western desert were Motorised infantry and mostly used cruiser task. Matilda did not arrive in Australia til 1944 to be used in Island campaigns. The Ms Stuarts and M3 Grants were the first tanks to arrive in Australia sufficient to equip units; there was solitary Armoured division although split in two half, and an Army Tank Brigade which the Matilda's were eventually assigned. The Militia Divisions used Grants in cavalry/reconnaissance role too. In fact so many Grants were sent (700) and the Japanese never invading that most were not taken out of storage. While post war the Army received a few Churchill; the Grants continued to be assigned to armored units as they were in good condition and adequate fro training. When the Grants wore out the Army abolished all but one Armour regiment. The Australian Army used tanks in Infantry support and still does.

There is a small ditch on the right team on Jungle that allows specific tanks to peak over the hill, while being able to quickly retreat to cover. This works very well with the Chi-Ha series of tanks, though any tank with decent depression can sit there.

It has both covering from the Lower Objectives and the top two objectives. It also have good sightseeing for sniping.

If I recall, this is around C7 with the small patch of water.

[deamonfly]

When will you decompress the High tier jet aircraft? The Lightning needs its own special place and it not in the correct BR.

[Isjamieinnit]

Last time I was this early the economy was stable

[russellmiles]

1. Jungle Map: the various firing points mentioned are within artillery range. At early ranks vehicles are reasonable vulnerable - and light tanks in Modern era certainly are. As I laborious mention before, you might cover artillery in the Shooting Range. It is much underutilized capacity.

[doubtedhawk]

What I wish war thunder had is mixing different planes ships or vehicles in your hangers like having one hanger with different vehicles or ships or planes of different countries in one

[generalrommel]

Hello, it’s just a reminder for you, Gaijin, that in The Shooting Range episode 6, you told us that soon every gun we see in the game will be working (specially those guns that aren’t working, in tank hulls). Thank you :)

[ferenctoka]

Another great video! We all appreciate your collective hard work.
As a longtime player who has roughly 70% of the games vehicles.
Could we start a conversation about some new game modes and maps for rank 6/7 mixed battles? An example is a common warthunder custom battle modified on the air rb Afghanistan map for mixed battles. With 5 capture points. Large enough to use your new 6km gun sights and then some. The large sniper battles that would occur and the flanking by the wheeled tank destroyers and IFVs all backed up by their SPSAM and CAS. Would be legendary. We are currently playing a faster and more unforgiving game in the same sized sandbox. Like a wise man once said: “It’s like racing NASCAR in a skateboard park”
In my opinion the top tier for mixed battles is only won by the team who has more players that know every map inside and out. The stagnation of the game modes and over the years has drawn people to grow bitter to each map they have an “experience” with. Thank you gaijin for reading this far if you have!<3 also whatever happened to Fulda? I have not played that map in at least 8 months.
