    Just an average round for me playing the US in War Thunder. Didnt get alot of kills, but I had a really nice assist streak near the end. Also, got mad exp awarded at the end because of the 5x exp event going on.

    With that said, the vid sucks. I'm having a great deal of trouble getting my vids to look nice & sharp. The raw file looks great, and the rendered vid looks 99% perfect as well. But when I upload to youtube, it becomes blurred & fuzzy looking... even if viewed on the 1080p setting. I just dont get it.

    Also, dont pay much attention to the short title thing I put at the beginning. Took all of 5 mins to make it, and it's nothing like the intro I have in mind but have yet to invest the time to make. I just got the NNG font from Ghost, so I'll be putting more time in on that aspect of my vids in the future. But for now, the vexing problem I face is the overall quality of the vids once uploaded... any tips would be great.

    I'll end this by saying it's too bad the game isnt catching on in NNG. I miss playing with friends, but just cant bring myself to play BF3 anymore. But maybe it's for the best anyways. With the current set up for joining servers, only 4 people can be in a squad (provided the person making the squad has a premium account, it's 2 man squads otherwise), and there is currently no way to ensure a large group of friends get into the same public game above that 4 (or 2) man limit. Though, there are other game modes that can be played where a lagre group may join together... but you dont earn much experience or credits for playing them. I do hope they address this issue before it comes out of beta status.

    Well that looked fun as hell!

    Especially the bomber run in the beginning. That was sweet. I also enjoyed watching you try to land at the end there :)

    We miss you on the BF3 side as well, but yeah it is definitely getting stale. Some new info or anything on BF4 is more than welcome but I need to start venturing out into other games in the mean time.

    When does War Thunder come out of beta?

    War Thunder is barely out of alpha and it's in the early stages of the beta they still haven't even added the tanks and the ships into the game but the tank addition to the game should be coming soon and when the game is released there will be tanks,aircraft and ships all fighting it out ON THE SAME MAP!!!
    i've already set up a few plp so I can set up an NNG clan on the game. If anyone whants to join in on the fun my in game name is Wargrunt.

    Ghost, I remember once on TS you saying you didnt think you'd like War Thunder because all you did is fly in it. And while, for the time being (they do plan to add ground & sea in due time), that's true, in a way it's wrong as well. There are many many planes in the game, and they all handle differently. Many have certain roles, and are thus flown differently. It's not like BF3 where both side's jets are basically the same, and every time you go up is pretty much like any other time you go up. In War Thunder, you have boom & zoom fighters, turn fighters, attack air craft, light bombers, dive bombers, torpedo bombers and high alt bombers. And not only that, but each country's planes vastly differ from the other countries. I'm alot like you in the fact that what has drawn me to the BF games over the years is the wide verity of things to do in the game. But I tell you, I dont get the sense of doing the same thing over & over in War Thunder. Even though it's (for now) an air based game, there is lots of variety in it.

    An example I can give in the vid is that bomber run. It's technically a high alt bomber. And it's good like that, and some time I'll take it up and play it as intended. You get a camera view that's the bombardier's perspective that simulates a real world bombing run & everything. There are also gunner views I could switch to so I can manually fight off/kill planes attacking me. OR, as shown in the vid, I can choose to fly it low & fast, which I find more thrilling, and I let the AI man the guns for me. And that's just an example of the variety of a single plane in the game.

    Now... there are alot of things I could complain about in the game (such as how weak the US fighter planes are for now, or how OP the RU planes tend to be), but I see constant patches that over time are making the game better & better. And it's free... cant go wrong with a free game :)

    I'm not sure what you mean by this.

    I already go by NNG_Linchpinn in game, and I have a handful of NNG guys in my friend list (Jacobs Father, Phragg, Malicore, John Holiday & you). While not all of them ware the NNG tag, or even play all that often, it show's there is a NNG presence in the game. I also have a few friends that I was thinking about inviting to NNG... but so far havnt done so because there is no official War Thunder division in NNG. I was thinking if we could get 10 or so regular players it would be worth setting up a section for War Thunder here in the forums and figuring out some recruiting guidelines.

    It takes more then being in yours or my friends list to be in NNG. Be it in War Thunder, or any game. There is a recruitment process in place, though, there is not one yet for War Thunder. We'll have to work something out.

    Till then, do not have people that are not NNG put NNG tags on yet, until it's decided what the process will be for a War Thunder Division of NNG, if there ever even will be one.

    GhostSheets, Orestes910, any help here would be grand :)

    When I do find the time, I have such a blast flying with Linch. He knows far more about the game than myself, and is extremely patient with my nooby questions.

    As a purist, I love using my JoyStick, but I'm still not quite satisfied with the settings. I just have to remember it's still a beta.

    It is a fun game, and can become quite intense. I've had my adrenaline pumping and heart racing quite a few times.

    Well between this post and your response to mine, I think I am going to have to download this game.

    Is the flying, mouse driven?
    I have a joystick but I think joysticks suck for precision aiming.

    Also, are bomber seats limited to AI personnel or can you have buddies fly in there with you?

    What originally sold me was the graphics. The game is a powerhouse. From high up and even way down at ground level.
    It really bugs me though the way the put the huge blue and red names over every plane in the sky, it totally kills the aesthetics and immersion. I hope they change it.

    Going to be watching more videos and learning about it today. Hopefully download tonight.

    As far as recruitment, we only have recruits for our core divisions. BF3 and PS2.
    I'd have to know more about our intentions in War Thunder before creating a recruitment form / division.

    If there are guys that would like to play as NNG in an unofficial way in War Thunder, then I think we need to hash something out.
