More Things You Might Not Have Known About War Thunder | Cool and Goods 2

─── Read EVERYTHING before leaving a comment! ─── -The icon on the FJ-4B isn't actually unique, but it's still pretty neat -The Vietnamese T-34 anti-air is technically also a premium SPAA, but it was an event vehicle and not purchasable with GE -The Soviet test flight map also has a train -The Czechoslovakian, Cuban, New Zealander, Imperial Russian naval and British naval flags are also in the game -Some planes like the F104 can actually drop bombs while going faster than Mach 1 -Your aiming reticle turns orange on vehicles that you can tow, not only on dead tanks -Seversk-13 also has speakers -The mines in Normandy are anti-tank, not anti-personnel -The American carrier isn't the only destructible one Also small oopsie, at 3:44 I say "speaking of wheels" when I wasn't actually speaking of wheels in the previous clip. I had to scrap a different clip that was supposed to go before it, which was actually about wheels. I'll also edit this comment if you guys find any other inaccuracies, so if you do, leave a comment.

[@LupusAries]

Yeah, the horn is also quite good, sounds american enough, though maybe a bit modern. The german (steam) whistle is off though, that one sounds british, somehow reminiscent of a Gresley A4. Most steam whistles of german steam lovos from the Reichsbahn time on (1920s) have lower pitch single tone whistles.

As a train enthusiast, one of the things that really made me appreciate the devs is how accurate all the trains are, they're always period/locale appropriate and are prototypical to their real-life counterparts, even down to some of the interior modeling that you can notice when you wreck them.

[@tenpotkan7051]

The unique guidance system icon is present in many aircraft. It used to signify that the missiles were SACLOS. This year, all SACLOS missiles on planes have been nerfed to MCLOS but the icons remained. If you bomb the track in front of a train, the train will stop right where it is at that time. If you get in the train's way, it will run you over but if you get in the way of the moving tank in the tank test drive, it will stop and won't hit you. Bridges are considered enemies. If you destroy one, you get the "enemy destroyed" notification. They also show up on radar scopes. If you destroy the propeller of the first Il-2 in the soviet test flight, all the other planes will eventually colide with each other. You can kill a vehicle by driving your plane into it, provided that your speed is high enough. There are soldiers walking around in the Japanese test flight. You can kill them.
