THE SHOOTING RANGE 282: Frontline Bombers Battle / War Thunder

[@DelinaSilence]

I like to highlight that the Brigand can taxi and take off with just one engine running. Not useful in random battles, but very nice to know regardless

[@coolL9457]

Question: Did you notice the editing error in 'hotline', when the question about bullet casings is showing the graphic for the prior question?

[@wolgrave3016]

what?

Yep

Will the BTs ever be able to go without tracks when tracked / as a pre-spawn option?

[@chocokingchocolate1273]

No

[@LordKitchenersKitchenUntensils]

Agree with choco, probably not, main use of no tracks was for travelling long distances on paved roads, not cross country during combat

[@videre8884]

I would also like to be able to simply continue driving with the BT after the opponent had damaged the chains. War Thunder is and will remain nothing more than a computer game, so you shouldn't ask for too much reality.

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?

The Game has WAY bigger problems than that.

@@alphanomad511 Just pains me to see what the majority of request for WT are.. people really have such low standards? The game modes are fucked and yet here we are people complaining about editing mistakes and asking for glitter on their tanks.

[@KeybladeMaster9913]

Will you ever add the B-26 Marauder series. Been in the works since CBT in 2011, been playing that long. On that note will the B-25g get added, and/or the Mitchells/PBJs get their rocket racks. They are historically accurate and would add some depth to them.

[@chocokingchocolate1273]

No

[@Fischbroetchen2k]

This and add RB EC. Thanks Gaijoobles.

*Keep up with the good content Gaijin. I'm eager to play with the jets with new sound effects.* When will the aircraft carriers get their JBDs during take? The F-5 has, cannon gas shields during firing. When will it be animated? All aircrafts whilst turning on the ground; back wheels/front wheels don't move right or left, When will these be animated? It feels so weird when I'm turning in a plane on the ground but the wheel doesn't move.

[@Bathi_wt]

Hmmm.... I have some of those problems too MAB.

[@StuckOnAFireHydrant]

Speaking of less fuel for your planes: Q: what determines the minimum fuel load if certain aircraft? ie how the 2 models of the mosquito have vastly different fuel loads dispite the same fuel tank layout.

[@thebones6144]

It would be nice if on some planes the minimum fuel load wouldnt be higher than the battle time in air RB

[@Flamebrin]

Question: will we ever see a glassnose Mosquito?

[@Favoki]

What is the best place to watch the sunset in War Thunder?

[@mh1ultramarine]

I have been wondering about a br balance issues with planes lately. The XA-38 and PBJ-1H are both similar planes armed with a 75mm and 4 500lbs bombs. the XA-38 is at 3.7 while the PBJ-1H is at 4.3. This is despite the PBJ being slowwer, less maunavable, and having it's 75mm is off center. The only down side the XA-38 has is that it only has 6 machine guns. Two frontant and a top and bottom turret. The PBJ even doesn't have a lowwer turret. I am sure you can understand my confusion over this as the XA-38 can hit tank roof with it's 75mm allowing me to use it in even 7.0 games while I can't hit a barn with the PBJ

[@Bathi_wt]

Hmmm...... its a one to think about

[@yousefali3j58]

Hi. I would like to see these two things in the next winged lion update. The first is to see the loader loading a shell in the barrel in vehicles with an open roof and the second is to put a kind of base in spawning area because during a war, a tank started moving from a base and does not appear suddenly on the map. Although, theses two things are simple but without them, it makes the game looks like if it contains magic!

[@Bathi_wt]

good ideas but gaijin is already made up their mind about the new features in the update. so tell them to add it in the next update

[@Kalashnikov413]

Snipe, if not possible then try to wiggle your tank so that your weakspot (which is your turret) will be harder to hit

Can we see a Pages of History on the Ki-83?

[@Bergpoweryt]

American disigner: so how many guns will this new frontline bomber carry? American air hq: YES

[@daniel_f4050]

I understand most of the bomber choice for the triathlon except the B-25J. It’s a plain old Medium Bomber. It was meant to fly in formations and drop bombs on targets from altitude. Low altitude strafing was only done in very specific situations. And usually only if the land target was extremely poorly defended or if it was a merchant ship or small naval escort. P.S. What about the Swedes? The T18B-1 is probably the best frontline Bomber at 4.0 by a very large margin.
