Anyone have opinions of the magach 3? thinking of preordering it........

[The_Desert_Fox_89]

I feel like the Magach is just an M48 with an 105mm L7, better engine but still no gun stabilizer. Unless they introduce stabilizer and smoke discharger, I don't think it's worth it enough...

[AndyinBrum]

oh look a new AMX 30 that'll be just as poor as the others because the things wrong with it - the ammo - and no stab, hasnt been altered.

And surprising no one, here's a new t-64

[AndyinBrum]

Because the T64 was so weak at the front (not that I ever noticed) theyve made it even stronger hmmmm

Sill, ive got the T64- so Yay more roflstomping russian bias

[Apollo117]

i just want my challenger which is gonna be the top tank this patch.

[End3r_w0lf]

M1 Abrams confirmed bois!!! Also He-177 rank 4 strategic bomber. I heard rumors about Gaijin adding the McDonnel Douglas F4 Phantom II, and the McDonnel Douglas F-15C Eagle. I highly doubt the F-15 will make it into the game this patch. But the F4 Phantom II has a high probability of being added. It does have a 20mm minigun for one of its offensive armament. I am hyped for this patch.

[Bobberd]

<drools at He177 Greif> noice.

But on another note, Gaijin just decided to nerf the P47's by upping their battle rating. Perhaps now we can get into sane matches again, despite the P47 still probably deserving a 5.0-5.3 battle rating in most cases.

What day are patches usually released on?

[AndyinBrum]

Chief - they havent released the Dev Server yet, assume its this weekend, therefore the update could be thursday next week, but likely to be week after


These BR Changes seem worryingly sensible - although id have made the top AMX 30 an 8.0 due to its lack of stab https://warthunder.com/en/game/changelog/current/796

[rayrayblues]

They haven't put anything on the dev server yet as of March 1st. Still the same as current client 175.0.216.
I'll let everyone know as soon as they start feeding the dev. Release day will be close then.

If you don't have a dev server, I would suggest you get one soon. It is easier to copy/paste the game, than to
try to download the new patch while the whole world is also downloading. It can take hours, but if you keep your
dev updated every day or so, then on release day update it one more time
Open both game folders side by side, in the dev folder, select all and copy.
Then uncheck the following files: config.blk, warthunder.yup and warthunder.old.yup. Paste in the current game folder
and allow "copy and replace files." Then when finished, start the game and there will be a small patch and you are
up and running. Depending on your machine, total time: 30 to 60 minutes or even less. This will be a big patch as
they will be updating the Dagor engine as well as new content. I keep mine on an external HD to save space.

Another advantage is when they open the dev, you can try out all the new vehicles and the Dagor 5 before anyone else. GL/HF
