The hit detction is still rough, but it sounds like 1.43 is gonna fix a lot of things.

[TheBronzePickle]

It better. It really better. I've had my fair share of should-have-been-kills get lost to all sorts of bugs, up to and including shoddy hit detection.

Though I did manage to survive getting hit by a 37mm because of said shoddy hit detection once, so I can't completely complain.

The thing I hate most though is when a game ends early because the last player is getting their plane repaired/rearmed on a runway and the game counts them as shot down for the purposes of the tickets counting down. I've complained about it before, but Gaijin seem pretty happy to ignore their forums. Not that I blame them, but occasionally people do make good points among the sea of bitching about stupid things.

From what I heard, they tend to be more responsive to the Russian forum.

Or you can file a formal suggestion which appears to be processed as well.

Fire damage seems random and fire seems to be lighting up too easily.

Meanwhile, my H6K4 gets set on fire due to a short burst (less than one second) of a Dauntless's rear mg, and explodes a few seconds later. Wow.

However, RB seems fine, it's mostly arcade that has all this nonsense. Seriously there never has been so much smoke and fire in arcade.

[10ebbor10]

I had some sillyness with the H6K4 in RB as well. Had a fighter light my both wings up, and I continued like nothing happened till the fuel ran out.

[Naryar]

So today I faced a thunderbolt on a headon in arcade in my Me410 U2.

I get hit by MG fire, and one second after my plane gets set on fire. Both motors, I think.

Which was I fully expecting but then at the same moment that my plane gets set on fire, both of the wingtips and the tail explode and the game says "Plane burned down".

Wow. I'm not surprised there are less and less players online.

[10ebbor10]

Play RB, it is fun.

[Naryar]

Yeah, I've been going back to RB lately.

Issue with RB is that either i play RB planes and there are 90% of unfunny flying in a straight line (or trying to climb before some Russian plane inevitably happens above you) or i play mixed RB and there are no planes at all so i am forced to either attack tanks and fail due to lacking bombs, or fly a tier II bomber and promptly get shrekt by AA/an enemy fighter.

I think I will grind the german bomber line in RB planes.

[Zrk2]

I'm pretty excited for 1.43. Sounds like a lot of stuff is getting fixed.

[Naryar]

Yeah, 1.43 will either save or break War Thunder.

Also holy shit, these He111's are crap. Feels like tier I germany. I can see the second Dornier bomber being decent but EH.

[Toriad]

1.43 was released today gents, and so far it's been quite good!

[Zrk2]

I can't download all of that yet. Will update next week. Keep me updated!

[TheBronzePickle]

They've ever so slightly tweaked a lot of the FMs. A lot of planes I outright couldn't beat before without absolute advantage are now kind of manageable as long as I'm using my own plane's advantages or the enemy's disadvantages.

I have yet to try out any of the new vehicles, though. I don't have the patience to grind that hard.

Also, Russian glacis plates are still virtually impenetrable from head-on. Remember to shoot the turret or the side armor.

[Tronak]

I'm amazed by the new X-Ray view for tanks. Seriously, info about T-34 or PzIV is more or less easy to find, but having a 3D view of the inner modules of an IS-3 or a Pz38(t) makes me respect gaijin a lot more, its some serious research.

Also the armor thing. It explais, like, all. I shall never face an stug front-to-front again.

[Naryar]

Currently downloading the thing, should be done within th- hortenhortenhortenhortenhortenhorten

The FM of the He111 has been fixed apparently, which is good. I hope it actually climbs now :p

Also apparently the high explosive ammo has been fixed, which is good.

But apparently planes catching fire due to stray 7.7mm MG fire is still a thing  how I am even supposed to play my 2 engine fighters ?
