THE SHOOTING RANGE 242: Close duels / War Thunder 

"This Brit will be slapped on the cheeks" good job Bruce

"this brit will get slapped on those cheeks" I never imagined I would hear Bruce say anything like that...

Urban warfare in WT in a nutshell: see if there are italians in the other team and if there are, wait for R3s lol

Everybody gangsta til' bruce said ickwa

Time-stamps! 0:01 Starts 0:26 metal beasts: South African top tier 3:47 Pages of history: British cruiser tanks 7:28 Tactics and strategies: tank urban dules 13:15 Hotline Thanks to all of you! You make my day with the comments

Question: Is there a vehicle/custom skin you’re looking forward to being added into the game?

Always nice to hear your voice saying "The Shooting Range". 17min of realxation and information. Loving it.

Thanks for again your weekly video, they're great as always! Q: Could War Thunder organise a Mig15 vs Sabre event, please? We veterans would love to celebrate War Thunder still being around with former top tiers of the past. Till next week!

I love how Gaijin talks about urban battles when there are obstacles and then I start thinking about yesterday when I was playing the M5a1 at 3.7 with shermans in my line up and started hearing a KV 1 on the kther side of the building I was behind. So we both started turning our tanks around the house to catch up eachother. Fortunately I catched up him and killed his crew by aiming to the ring of the turret.

Q: could we see in the future czechoslovakian 'semi' tech tree, just like the african one? Of course with all the bells and whistles like lt.38 or Tatra trucks like Ot.64 and avia planes.

Here is a question for gaijin. Can you make it possible for tank players to help their teammates with extinguishing fires if they don't have FPE unlocked?

Please do a video on keybinds for console players. I have to play low-rank aircraft because with the missile controls and the thrust vectoring I can’t control the aircraft well. Here is an idea for a quality of life change for console players. Instead of keybinds on the controller give an option for a weapon wheel. It has worked well in games like RDR2. That way we don’t have to memorize lots of keybinds.

Q: Will you give a chance for newcomming players to earn tri-colore smoke for jets?

You forgot something really important to Urban combat: wait until your opponent is suffering from packet loss and can't see you move to his flank!

Challenge: Shoot down the fastest aircraft with the slowest tank ammo (or just shot it with Sig 33b). Days 3

Question: What is the tankiest plane in War Thunder

When we will get WW2 teams back? Cold War teams are destroying low tier. Russia and Germany together are wining 70% of the battles.

Could Bruce please read a bed time story?

Q:Are u going to add Tu-22, B-50 and B-52 in later updates on the game?

I love war thunder but I sometimes wish there was a battle online where you get to use your battleship, airplane, helicopter, and tank to fight at the same matchmaking it an interesting battle. and wish you could destroy buildings with tanks but to use it to your advantage just like they did in battlefield games by EA

Q; Will we be seeing any new Italian aircraft in-game for Ixwa Strike?

Suggestion, can you make the big aircraft cannon battle? Candidate: il2 37/su6(am42/s71f), hs-129b3,T18B2, ki109, Xa-38, PBJ-1H,p.108a serie 2,tempest vickers, and me262a1/u4 or me410(BK5 50mm) and the mosquito FB XIII 57mm, week 21

I got a question that had me going for all week: Why don't aircraft from the MiG family have even numbers?

pages of history the time when an m8 scout car destroyed a king tiger

Q: Will the Daimler AC get scouting?

So thats how you read "Ixwa"

Question: Will you be adding the JAS 37 Viggen?

When Bruce said ‘slapped on those cheeks’ I was laughing so hard.

Thanks for responding to my question :)

Q: Hey gaijn can you add the A-37 my great grandfather and my great uncle worked on it and my great grandfather help design it long story why. My great grandfather name was Ralph Roberts and my great uncle name is Thomas Roberts

This narrator is the only thing keeping warthundr alive. Without him warthunder be fucked

Question Q/A WHERE DID LEGACY THEME GO???

Strategy: To avoid the explosion of the tank you have to enter the match with 20-25 ammunition.

question: how to prevent packet loss/control reset

well just wishin to add a bit on the pages of history. as for the liberty engine on the crusader. it was pretty much the radiator belts which proved to be causing reliability issues. once that was sorted the crusader did operate quite effective in the battles for africa.

Question: How do yoiu play the IS-6 effectively?

Big question: why cant the IS 2 penetrated Tiger 2 H and Tiger 2P from the front because they both dont have armor made of good material wich is 2 cant pen sometimes but will break the hull

In one of the episodes you talked about the yom kipor war at the sinai front, can you talk about the VALLEY of tears tank battle?

0:33 Sheeeesh, look at Bruce pronouncing it like a true South African 😂😂

Hi Gaijin and Bruce. I know you guys always try your best to give us the best quality videos. Can you make an updated version of the 'Climbing the ranks with American planes'? It looks kinda outdated since it was a video from 2 years. Thanks

Q: Could you teach us how to counter Boom-n-zoom attacks and/or other tactics you taught us in the previous episodes? I think it would make a nice video for players whose aircraft is not capable of such tactics(e.g. for boom-n-zoom). I would love it!

Q: Is there any way to switch ammo type when cannon is already loaded?

Question: What is the best way to play the AVRE?

Q: Now that the game has the nuke, will the object 279 survive as it is designed to withstand nukes and if yes will it win the game as it will be the only one surviving the nuke?

Ya know I never complained, but god damnit it’s stupid hard trying to kill something with depth charges

Q: Will you add the Macchi MB339 to the Italian Planes Tech Tree? I'd really love to fly such a beast

Question: will there be multiplayer test flights added to the game as me and my friend want to fly in the same aircraft but I don’t have it

Terrific episode, Gaijin. Really enjoyed it! I have a couple questions I'd like to ask. What happened to getting the ability to lock the P-61s' turret position forward for the pilot to operate? You mentioned in their Devblog it'd eventually be added as a modification to research, but it's been over _five years_ since and we still haven't gotten it. Also, server connectivity issues have been absolute murder for months now, and seems to be getting worse (particularly with the US servers). Is there any work being done to remedy this?

Close Duels. You mean shoot first.

At least Bruce tried to pronounce Ixwa properly. A valiant effort

I could imagine this is just Mike and Oxy going at it 8:29

How do I make a custom vehicle from scratch and also does it support other 3D softwares other than 3ds max

Q: Any tips for effectively using depth charges in naval battles?

It’s definitely harder to do urban duels now since the body’s don’t disappear but it’s great when ur hiding against an is2 with the m4a3e2 jumbo 😂😂😂. And I luv war thunder

"This brit will get slapped on the checks"

Q. how should I send my game replays straight from the game to you guys for the thunder show???? And I really love your voice mr.bruce. Thank you Please take me in your next video(hotline).

Bruce:this brit will, get slaped on his cheeks😂😂

Question: will we ever see the m84 (Yugoslavian t72) family?

Love the show and game but when are we getting french navy

I love to play with the oculus VR headset and i am glad the game supports it but i feel there could be some improvements, will there be any future updates?

Here's a Challenge for you Gaijen: Beat the world record distance of a tank on tank kill by 100M but in war thunder using leopard 2, against a T-64.

Imagine if you could meet Bruce in a match Showers of praise to you man

When you're more interested in the new map's decorative Soviet cars and trucks than any of the south african vehicles

Hello. Thank you for the pages of history content. Always love learning about these incredible machines. Q: Do you have any tips or tricks for the Mosquito FB Mk VI? I cannot seem to do well in it. Also wasn't it supposed to have a much larger payload?

Q. Have you considered moving the Me262 (Squadron version) down to 7.0, where it faces more vehicles from its era, rather than Cold War jets, such as the Mig 15 and later sabres?

Are there plans to address the grind facing new players considering the vast amounts of vehicles in the game now?

Hello @War Thunder Official channel. The 6 big bombs from the SU-6 AM-42 is buggy i cant choose it

Will we ever see a push into later and larger bombers like B 36, B 52, Tu 95? Us bomber pilots feel a little left out

Q: How do I effectively play the Avro Lincoln? I looked at the bomber crash course video but I’m still struggling a little. Love your voice Bruce XD

Question: I know that the next update is full of British vehicles, but have you ever thought of adding the Deacon or Rhino heavy Armoured Car? The Deacon would be a nice 2.7 tank destroyer since it has descend mobility and a 6-pounder gun. Though it is not without is flaws as it can't traverse its gun all the way round quickly because it would have to elevate its gun over the cabin as well as being slightly armored and open topped. The Rhino in my opinion would fit well around 1.3 - 1.7, it would be a slightly slower, up armoured and higher profile version of the Daimler mk 2. And of course i'm not an expert so feel free to correct me.

Question: When will the music from the new power update be available on platforms such as Spotify? I’d love to listen to the tracks!

Q: can you do an updated video for "climbing the ranks of german tanks?

Thanks for the reminder to refill my blinker fluid. I checked and it was running dangerously low.

Question: How do I use the Tiger II (H) against modern Cold-War tanks? The normal tactics don't work anymore.

"high resolution thermals for gunner and commander" *record scratches* "I'm sorry... what?" says Challenger 2F

3:28 but do they move in herds? also Grand slam and tallboy soon?

The urban battles where u are in a corner actually happend to me but luckily i had 2 teamates following me we were upagaints a panther d and a m6 i had to revers so i can get more space foe accelaration i was used as a distraction i rashwd both of the tanks in the corner and turned around yo be behind them a teamate was lost beacuse thwy both stop but the battle waa preety nice by itself

When will we get armor upgrades for the Abrams series like the TUSK? For an example? For existing Abrams tanks?

Q:do you have any plans to add ww1 veichicles?

I would like to see the KRV Kranvagn in yhe game if it's not too much trouble.

The HSTVL's at the end...

I have a question. Are you thinking of lowering the repair cost of some premium vehicles (mainly the premium Props that kind of get killed without any points like the P47 and the premium bombers)

Are ytou guys ever gonna add ejection seat animations for jets? Btw Your videos are epic

Q. Can you add the BTR-80?

Question:please, can you add artylerries?

Hey will the tonk tank be added to the italian tech three? It will be interesting to add a meme tank

16:33 when can we race with those?

Somtimes, in a sticky situation, I will sacrifice a crew member to get out. If I know the enemies APHE won't detonate on the commanders side of my amx13, I will sacrifice my commander to make them shoot. Then I am able to shoot them while they are on thier reload

Could you please add more Finished vehicle. It would make my week! :)

Question: have you any plans on adding the sea vixen?

Are the engine sound changes of the Russian Medium and Heavy tanks (T-44 series, T-54 series, KV series and IS series) to the engine sounds of the T-34's engine intentional?

Is finland going to be in war thunder

Good video I personally I prefer CQB engagements. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

Are you guys gonna add a game mode to grind Heli. The event mode seems preety unfair my Tier V German heli can't face the Players who have high tier helicopters.

Can you please make aircraft in arcade tank battles just like how they are in navel battles where you earn points and get to use your own aircraft

Q: what about italian navy crew voice lines?

Q: just an idea, Since you are adding the SU 17 to the game will we get a "The Sukhoi family" video that could contain the la 200 and la 15?

Question: Is there a possibility for minor axis nations to be added to WT? Like the Hungarian 44m Tas heavy tank or its tank destroyer variant..There's a lot of tanks that minor axis nations had. It would be really fun to try them out.

Q:will there ever be an a-10 warthog added to the game ?

Suggestion: Tips and tricks: Ground Forces RB - how to attack with rockets and bombs with a variety of aircraft.
