Seeing as the old wiki is no more, looks like I need a new user page.

About Me

I've been playing War Thunder fairly continuously since December 2013 (Update 1.37). When War Thunder Live launched in April 2014, I joined up on launch day and have been a fairly active community member since (although not so much recently). April 2014 also saw the Launch of the War Thunder CDK, I picked up the CDK shortly after launch and have since become very experienced with the mission editor. I have released plenty of missions on my WT Live page and have also made missions in support of custom vehicles released by other community members, and some videos from WT YouTubers. When multiplayer user missions were being developed I was among other members of the CDK community selected to partake in closed testing.

Me and the Wiki

I started editing the wiki in December 2017 with the aim of improving the (at the time) almost completly barren Maps and Missions section. I have since written articles for all o the ground forces maps in the game and have started progress on the air forces maps. I have also used my knowledge of the CDK to help improve the (at times lacking) documentation covering it on the wiki.

My Testing Area

Pulling BR of a vehicle from the game

A little proof of concept here: the BR of the Wirraway is being pulled from wherever the sidebar info is from and displayed in an article.

The BR of a Wirraway is 1.3(AB), 1.3(RB), 1.3(SB).

Air Forces Maps

Arcade Only Air Maps

These maps are (under normal circumstances) only available in Air Arcade Battles. They tend to be small in size compared to other maps (32km x 32km or less), and usually contain unrealistic or exaggerated terrain features, to make combat more interesting. They do not aim to recreate real-world locations, although they may take inspiration from them.

General Air Maps

Most of these maps have configurations for all three air game modes (Arcade Realistic and Simulator). They are larger than Arcade maps, generally being between 64km x 64km and 131km x 131km, with a couple of exceptions. All of these maps are based off of real world locations; the level of accuracy varies between maps, but in general they tend to be reasonably accurate to the real world.

Ground Forces Air Maps

These maps are the Air Battles area of their respective Tank Maps. As well as being used in combined arms battles, some are also used as standalone maps in air battles (AB, RB & SB), in these cases the tank battles area forms part of the scenery of the map. Being based off tank maps they are a mixture of historically accurate and fictional locations. Maps tend to be 65km x 65km, although some are smaller and some are bigger.

Special Maps

These maps are do not occur in normal air or ground battles. They are only normally available to play in specific game modes / events or in user made missions.
