71). War Thunder получит множество новой техники с обновлением «Новая Эра» (1.71) Вар тандер обновление 1.71 время выхода

В игре появится то, чего ждали очень многие - современные танки . Ну, почти современные. В игру введут технику второй половины двадцатого века. Увы, это действительно высокоуровневая техника только на словах - в самой игре это машины шестого ранга. Так что, если у вас еще нет пятого ранга, самое время активно его набивать, ведь новые наземные машины того стоят. Как сообщают разработчики в своих дневниках, все нации, обладающие собственным деревом исследования наземной техники, получат технику шестого ранга.

Среди обновок вы обнаружите советское ноу-хау Т-64А , западные танки M60A1 RISE (PASSIVE) , МБТ-70 и еще множество представителей второго послевоенного поколения танков. А вишенкой на торте станет легендарный БМП-1 . Вместе с новыми танками появятся и новые технологии, такие как комбинированная броня и динамическая защита.


Между прочим, разработчики пообещали, что снизят ценовые различия между пятым и шестыми рангами, и они будут не такими серьезными, как между четвертым и пятым. Кроме того, они планируют скорректировать стоимость улучшений и техники на пятом ранге.

«Но знаменита не только танками!» - скажут игроки, предпочитающие авиационные бои. Для них в игру добавят различные экспериментальные самолеты наподобие XA-38 Grizzly . А введение современных самолетов еще только в разработке. Главная причина подобного промедления, скорее всего, заключается в сложности балансировки - вы только представьте самоуправляемые ракеты и мощные истребители времен вьетнамской войны.

Так или иначе, кроме послевоенных танков, в игру действительно добавят новые образцы воздушной и наземной техники других периодов, а также новые карты сражений. Одной из таких карт станет локация Фульдский коридор , легендарная область на границе двух Германий, где могла начаться Третья мировая война.

Gaijin Entertainment сообщила о выходе обновления 1.71 «Новая эра» для многопользовательского боевика War Thunder. Оно добавило в игру шестой ранг наземной техники, почти три десятка танков и самолётов, новые карты и ряд других нововведений.

На шестом ранге наземной техники представлены машины шестидесятых-семидесятых годов, в которых прослеживаются особенности современных танков. Комбинированная и динамическая броня усиливает защиту от кумулятивных снарядов и ракет, стабилизаторы орудий дают возможность стрелять во время движения, а дымовые завесы позволяют нанести повторный удар после неудачной атаки. Благодаря гидравлическим подвескам и противотанковым управляемым ракетам у игроков появляются новые способы наносить прицельные удары в сложном рельефе.

На шестом ранге становятся доступны советские Т-64А и БМП-1, американские M60A1 RISE (P) и MBT-70, британские Chieftain Mk.10 и FV102 Striker, а также немецкий KPz-70. На других рангах тоже появились новые танки и самолёты. Среди новинок — американский штурмовик XA-38 «Гризли» с 75-мм пушкой, предназначенный для уничтожения тяжелобронированной наземной техники. Ещё один яркий пример — советская летающая лодка Бе-6 с пятью 23-мм пушками в трёх турелях, способная нести до четырёх тонн бомб.

Обновление 1.71 добавило в War Thunder и самую современную по меркам игры карту — «Фульдский коридор». Это долина на границе между Западной и Восточной Германией со старым замком и ветряной электростанцией. Ещё одна новая карта — «Императорский сад», представляющая собой живописную японскую деревушку у подножия гор.

Помимо прочего, в игре появился вид из турели самолёта. Он доступен более чем на 50 летательных аппаратах с одной стрелковой точкой.

Релиз обновления «Новая эра» уже состоялся. War Thunder доступна на ПК, PlayStation 4 и Android.


War Thunder для нас — это своеобразный совместный полигон для боевой техники 20-го века. В нашей игре в одном бою встречается техника различных стран и школ конструирования. Игра позволяет моделировать технику с достаточной степенью реалистичности, чтобы показать нашим игрокам возможности этих машин. И несмотря на глубокую проработанность реализации всех систем и узлов самой различной техники, управление танками и самолётами в War Thunder остаётся вполне доступным для игроков — а это значит, что игроки могут сосредоточиться не на изучении руководств по эксплуатации, а на самом игровом процессе. Послевоенные основные боевые танки (ОБТ) идеально вписываются в нашу игру.

Чем же хороши эти машины с точки зрения геймплея?

Они обладают высокой подвижностью и мощным бронированием в узком секторе, благодаря чему игра на них более динамична и поощряет тактическое мышление. Борта даже самых современных танков под прямым углом могут быть пробиты бронебойным снарядом Т-55 или М-47 с дистанции более двух километров. При этом в лобовой проекции в зонах максимальной защиты ОБТ последних поколений могут выдержать попадание средств поражения, обладающих бронепробитием до 1000-1200 мм. Поэтому, если ты правильно позиционируешь себя по отношению к противнику, — можешь быть мало уязвим, а если пропустил врага во фланг — будешь пробит. Кроме того, практически все послевоенные ОБТ оснащались стабилизатором вооружения, позволяющим вести огонь с хода, что также положительно сказывается на динамике игры. Также на послевоенных танках всех стран ставились системы постановки дымовых завес, которые могут дать второй шанс допустившему ошибку игроку.

В игре уже присутствуют танки послевоенной эпохи, вплоть до отдельных машин 80-х годов (японская ЗСУ Тип-87), при этом на пятом ранге соседствуют машины, год производства которых отличается на 30-40 лет. Использование же послевоенных машин с разделением их по рангам позволит сделать старшие уровни веток исследования более логичными и сбалансированными. Поэтому с точки зрения развития прогресса игрока логично не ограничиваться отдельными танками, а использовать все машины, которые удовлетворяют условиям интересного игрового процесса.

Наши планы

  • Мы планируем добавить новый, шестой ранг в развитии наземной техники, и начнём его заполнение с тех машин, которые явились представителями второго послевоенного поколения танков — таких, как советский Т-64, американские опытные МБТ-70, и т.п.
  • Мы будем последовательно, от патча к патчу, заполнять новый ранг интересными и известными образцами техники (не ограничиваясь одними только ОБТ) всех наций, доступных в нашей игре.
  • Экономика игры изначально не была рассчитана на шесть рангов, поэтому техника нового ранга в этом плане не будет напрямую следовать установленным ранее правилам. Иными словами, при переходе от 5-го ранга к 6-му резкого увеличения стоимости техники в ОИ и Львах не будет — в отличие от перехода, скажем, от 4-го ранга к 5-му. Стоимость исследования и покупки техники и модулей, а также стоимость расходников и ремонта на 6-м ранге будут слабо отличаться от аналогичных характеристик машин 5-го ранга. Более того, впоследствии, при появлении достаточного количества машин 6-го ранга, мы планируем снизить стоимость исследования и покупки техники на 5-ом (а возможно, и на более низких рангах) — чтобы время достижения игроками топовой техники осталось примерно таким же, как до ввода 6-го ранга.

Вопросы и ответы

— А будет Абрамс/Т-90/Леопард 2 и другие современные машины?​

​Со временем мы не исключаем появления в нашей игре любых современных танков из числа тех, которые мы сможем смоделировать с устраивающей нас степенью детализации внешнего вида и боевых возможностей.

— Будут ли тепловизоры/приборы ночного видения?

Решим после создания прототипов и геймплейных тестов ночных боёв с подобными устройствами.

Ударная авиация VI ранга может быть также представлена вертолётами, у которых довольно интересный геймплей в совместных боях. Пока конкретный ответ на этот вопрос и собственно список ударной авиации не финализированы, и не все внутренние тесты проведены.

— Планируется ли введение современных самолётов?​

​В отличие от танков, бой на самолётах по мере развития авиации становится более хардкорным, менее зрелищным и всё слабее раскрывает навыки пилотажа. Это видно даже на примере реактивной авиации Корейской войны, представленной в нашей игре с самого начала. Но особенно меняют тактику воздушного боя ракеты с ГСН, которые не требуют сопровождения после пуска. И хотя ракетный бой за пределами визуальной видимости может быть геймплейно интересным, он полностью сосредоточен на работе с приборами и очень хардкорен (поскольку требует специальных познаний и много “игры в голове” без обратной связи от принимаемых решений). Поэтому сделать бой современной авиации интересным, доступным, нехардкорным (т.е. достаточно понятным игроку без специальной подготовки), одновременно с этим сохранив заданный в игре уровень реализма, — задача крайне сложная (если вообще возможная). Следовательно, скорее всего танковая и авиационная составляющие игры сильно разойдутся в плане временного периода представленной техники.

Тем не менее, мы планируем сначала проверить на внутренних тестах геймплей реактивных самолётов времен вьетнамской войны, где использовались первые управляемые ракеты. У этих ракет была масса ограничений по условиям пуска (ракурс и, что особенно важно, максимальные и минимальные дистанции до цели), а их маневренные характеристики были не такими высокими, как у современных ракет. Поэтому, говоря с большой осторожностью, можно предположить, что со временем эта ступень развития авиации найдёт своё воплощение в War Thunder.

— Планируется ли изменения БР техники на пятом ранге со вводом шестого?

Да, скорее всего часть танков V ранга (например, носители ПТУР) получат новый БР, а какие-то из уже имеющихся в игре танков, возможно, и перейдут на VI ранг. Только произойдёт это не сразу с выходом патча, а через некоторое время, достаточное для сбора статистики.

— Стоит ли ожидать введения фишек, таких как ДЗ, на уже имеющейся в игре технике?

Нужно понимать, что наличие подобной защиты, как пассивной (Т-62М), так и навесной ДЗ, увеличит эффективность танка, поэтому ввод подобных модификаций будет производиться по соображениям баланса, с сопутствующим повышением Боевого Рейтинга.

— Следует ли ожидать появления премиумной техники V ранга, так как он больше не является топовым? Что случится с бонусами премиумной техники IV ранга на прокачку нового топового ранга?​

Мы не исключаем появления премиумной техники V ранга. Бонус к награде у премиумной техники IV ранга при прокачке техники VI будет работать так же, как работает и сейчас при прокачке техники на 2 и более ранга выше, — т.е. со штрафом.

— Танки VI ранга появятся сразу с выходом патча 1.71 или сначала будет ЗБТ?​

Техника будет доступна для исследования сразу после выхода обновления 1.71.

— Будут ли добавлены танки VI ранга для других стран?

Все нации, обладающие собственным деревом исследования наземной техники, получат технику VI ранга. Танки других стран мы будем добавлять в игру по мере готовности.
