Played this back in 15 and thought meh. I was playing ground arcade it turns out. Downloaded it again, discovered realistic battles and haven’t played anything else in 3 months.

A squad of 4-5 ARFCOMMERS could dominate every battle. Why is there no team ARF???

I play pretty frequently and would be down to squad up. If we could snag a few more people no one would stand in our way.

There is an arfcom squadron and although it has a lot of members most are not active. I usually stick to flying planes solo.

Ill be on once I get my computer fixed.  Got an update or virus a few days ago that disabled my wireless and erased my windows key, so now I have to find that and re-activate windows before I can get online...

I was at day 75 of the daily awards too.

That's strange. Windows 10? Get your windows key from a third party vendor?  I got mine from a shady place and was unable to reactivate windows after a motherboard change.  I still haven't paid for another copy, I'm just running "unactivated".

You can download and run Windows 10 without paying, you just get a small watermark and can't change your desktop background.

I may have to download War Thunder again. Played it a bunch awhile back but kinda burned out on it.

Computer was bought new in 08', forced update to Windows 10 a few years ago.  I plugged my phone in one day to upload hiking pics, next day my computer won't recognize its own wireless card and I have a permanent message in the lower left corner stating to activate my windows, and I cannot view my original key.  Geek squad has my tower now, anxiously  waiting for my tower and a bill.

I'd join the Arf squadron but I already have my own private one for just friends.

Working on my first jet (F-80) finally. It's been a bit of a grind

Activate it by phone. Sort of a backdoor and forcing it to accept your key. It is all automated.

How do I look it up?  The computer deleted it, does Microsoft have a way to recover that data?

With Windows 10, so long as it was activated previously, Microsoft has a database that can identify your installation.  The wizard will provide you with an "installation ID" which you provide to Microsoft, and in return you will get a confirmation ID which you enter.  To start the wizard, type in 'slui 4' into your search bar by the windows start icon, and select the run the command option.  Select your country, and the wizard will also give you the phone number to call.

Thanks for the info, calling geek squad today to see if my tower is ready for pickup.  When the windows error occurred I also lost my wireless card, comp wont recognize it and I lost ability to run anything as administrator.

That's really strange, more than just a windows license issue. Hopefully they get it sorted and the bill isn't too bad.

I've been playing again, mostly on around midnight ET though.

I would like to join. Kinda casual but would love to play some squad battles. Only play RB, I've been grinding out all nations so ... yeah, I'm one of those guys . The highest planes I have are Sweden, Tier 4, but honestly will grind/play any if I have people to play with.

Is WT playable on an i5 laptop with 8Gb ram?  Asking for a friend....
Link Posted: 10/24/2020 12:56:41 AM EDT

Liked the idea of angle of hit, penetration ratings, and explosive values.

Played when it started, stopped when some lock down stuff happened.  

Guess I should see if I can recover my account, doubt this laptop could play it, though.

I’ve been playing on an older i5 with 8gb of ram recently and have enjoyed it so much I’m shopping for a more modern laptop right now.  I REALLY wanted to play with joystick or my old Hotas but I’m so much more effective with mouse and keyboard that I put that shit right back in the closet. I usually can’t get online until after 8pm eastern but was on until almost 2am last night.  Thanks for the add to the squad.  

How do you find where others are flying and navigate to that arena?  I also need to read up on how inflight comms work as well.

Back in the day I was into Air Warrior 2 big time and had a lot of fun, call sign was P100 and squad was the SkyRaiders.  Hoping WT is just as much fun.

Thanks

At first I thought the guy in the tank must be playing on his phone or away from his pc but he moves and returns fire at the plane. How in the hell did he not notice the plane sitting right in front of him?

I played this some when it first came out. I'm gonna download it again right now, hopefully I still have my old account.

On full sim/real mode?

There will be 'missions' that randomly happen such as "shoot down enemy bombers in sector xxx" or "defeat the ground forces in sector xxx."

Not sure how accurate my examples are as I haven't played sim mode since my dog destroyed my track-ir setup

Generally speaking if you are looking for a fight just hover to those areas and you'll find your fight.

A solid fallback game for me when I'm between games. Mostly for tanks. 3.7 American and Russian.  6.3 for Germany. Have slightly higher tiers unlocked in each of those but I HATE them. Oh, and a whopping 2.7 in UK planes.

Always play arcade and I found the lower tiers to be much more fun than higher tiers. Maybe its different in RB but I was actually terrible the few times I tried it.

Realistic makes more sense at higher BRs, especially when ATGM's come into play.  I can park a bradley or BMP in a tree line and pick off tanks at will without having to worry about the entire map shooting at me; do that on arcade and youre instantly marked to everyone on the map the second you roll out from behind cover.  Currently 8.3 in US tanks / 4.0 US air; also have a couple high br Russian vehicles when I want to play with the big dogs (T-72AV, BMP-2M, Obj 279).  Working on aircraft from all countries (most still 3.0 and below), but mainly US.
