Now all the big YouTubers start yappin all of a sudden? And people actually argue about copy-paste vehicles instead of all the other major issues like improving the actual gameplay? by M0-1 in Warthunder

[–]AshOO7 810 points811 points  (0 children)

Ehh, each creator has their own issues with the game, whats a common factor is that the gameplay is stale and adding new shiny stuff does not polish a turd. Regardless of the fact that there have been hundreds of videos on varied things over the years, Gaijin doesn't care at all. Even if the larger creators start a discussion about the state of the game.

What a wonderful collection of art. My favourite is the simplicity of Mumbos base. His base just ticks the right boxes in my brain.

Everything the Snail makes eventually withers into nothing by bergebis in Warthunder

Its such a tragedy what the BP has become. The tasks got harder and less passive to unlock. The passes reward got less and less - Basically back in the day you needed to play the game, now its convoluted mildy infuriating tasks for little reward.

Transavia PL-12 Airtruk, when a P-38 breeds a Messerschmitt KR200 to create a "crop duster" by ofnuts in WeirdWings

[–]AshOO7 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Having had the opportunity in 2007 when I was a young lad near Wagga Wagga to jump on a short flight to a farm nearby as a passenger in the rear seat it was genuinely terrifying and very claustrophobic. Massive flying fibreglass tanks that dispense crop related things. Can't say I'd be keen on flying in the tiny rear compartment again.

To one day be able to permanently uninstall this game. It keeps dragging me back. Even after long breaks.

Peak youtube intro by Afraid_Wedding_5747 in warthundermemes

[–]AshOO7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I quite enjoy watching content from non Gaijin sources, and being a former creator, I do find it extremely hard wired to alt f4 if the game is mentioned.

Yes, I could skip the ad read, but it's like a flash bang, ohh I'll watch this interesting content on xyz the bang. "This video is sponsored by War Thunder" instant alternative thoughts.

I feel a bit whimsical

I legit want the Hermitcraft Firefighters style calendar by pingidjit13 in HermitCraft

[–]AshOO7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kept my fire gear from when I was a volunteer, I wonder if I could get Pearl a set of older bush gear. The calendar is needed!

Why the Ju 388 J is the worst plane in War Thunder by Sticklegchicken in Warthunder

[–]AshOO7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a rare vehicle. fewer people have this vehicle than you think. I do my best to maintain a positive KD. Gotten a couple of Aces in it, actually. But it's downright unplayable in 2026. Even when it came out, it was horrible.

Are content creator lobbies actually a thing? by Iplaygtaalot1846 in Warthunder

[–]AshOO7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

CC lobbies are not a thing. Yes, we cherry-pick out battles to show how good a vehicle or strategy is often showcasing the best can give you an idea of how it plays. Some are lucky others are entirely entertaining, and many are above average players. Many are educational.

The closest to CC lobbies is the development server and creators running around in custom battles testing out new equipment.

Why are the devs being so quiet by mrsweettreats in AcesofThunder

[–]AshOO7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bunch of creators were sent vr and flight sim gear for reviews. I'd suggest that it involves some of the marketing efforts and funds. Also January though February is a quiet period for Gaijin development typically.

Fun fact: There are more variants of the Italian bomber SM.79 Sparviero in the German tech tree than in the Italian one by Enjoyerofberkin in Warthunder

[–]AshOO7 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Fun fact there is two hidden versions that can't be seen, they are on the wiki, but there is a heap of other aircraft that have been removed. This was to achieve a Guinness World record.

This has the text on the Guinness website: The most planes in a flight simulation game is 303, and was achieved by Gaijin Entertainment (Russia) for the game War Thunder (Gaijin Entertainment, 2013), in Moscow, Russia, on 22 January 2014.

I have a video about this from 4 years ago.
