Still comparing it to WoWP, it seems like that is the Beta and WT is the released game…

They refer to War Thunder as a “Beta”, but it’s technically released. The term “Open Beta” lost all meaning long ago, and basically means “Released with continual changes, sometimes major ones”.

“The Gloster Goldfinch was a single-engined single-seat high altitude biplane fighter of all metal construction from the later 1920s. It did not reach production and only one was built.”

So unlike the Gladiator, it never actually saw combat, same MO as always eh WG? Also funny how it’s not listed as a RAF aircraft.

Both are released games, WT is still in beta or do you not see any difference in your blinkered fanboy view? I only quoted WoWP since it’s a flight “sim” (I use the term sim in as loose a term as possible) aka a direct comparison.

The Goldfinch is an ‘upgraded’ Gamecock.

5000 online at peak is only for the EU server. WT counts its game population on all servers as one, so it gives the impression of having more players. If Wargaming put all the WoT & WoWp servers together, it would dwarf WT.

WTF is a Goldfinch other than a bird? oh wait it’s a completely made up plane, no wonder I’d never heard of it. Well at least they’re continuing with the WG time honoured tradition of making shit up…

5000 online at peak time is pathetic (or to quote Serb ‘How Terrible’) for a fully released new game, WT has 10 times that figure and it’s still in beta.

Hey SS if you are ever on the us cluster of WoWP look me up. I’ll go in a flight with you. BTW, IMO I would rank the top three tier one’s on their performance:

1.) Soviet I-15
2.) USA P-12
3.) UK Goldfinch

Good luck to you and see you in the sky.

Since you are using the mouse, make sure you map your roll left and roll right keys. I use A and D respectively.

It makes life easier. As you get better, there will be less and less ramming. It takes quite a while to learn how to avoid a lot of collisions.

Nice Article SS. Very fun to read and ofc, what u all ve in mind is good.

Yeah the tutorial is better, but not that gd.

The Settings:
Well u ve there several options, and at least in the last Tab there r so many important things, nobody mention. The best thing is if u learn to fly with height and u dont know to switch from radar to barometer and ur radar gets destroyed and wont get any-more a right scale. So barometer is better.

So In my experience, try out WT. It is in my opinion with all of this tutorials and the settings are also better documented. The last thing is the aiming with mouse. In WoWp is really hard and somehow bad. I definitely more like the one from WT.

tried it twice, never made it through the tutorial. First time I ragequitted, second time the tutorial kicked me, because I was failing for 30 minutes.

Well, I guess no free gold/freeXP for my WoT account.
