Captfluffy Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 where the beer is cold and the women are hot ..................hurro to you all p.s how many aussie players do we have in this game so far 1
Seaman Stains Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Welcome Aboard, Captfluffy. I also have the great pleasure and honour of being an Aussie (Sydney). I don't know if there's many more of us, but there is a thread titled something like "Where do you come from?" and after several pages of reading, I had to post and say that I was Australian, and I was the first to do so. Perhaps the other Aussies are shy (or too lazy to answer). The game is from the Ukraine, with servers based in Germany (more planned .... PLEASE one for Australia/NZ). I get a fairly constant ping of about 350 (with about 78 fps on Ultra setting), and find the game is very playable for battles. There is no missing a shot because a player ducked behind a rock in this game (unlike WoT).

Seaman Stains Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Indeed, As stated, no rocks to "duck behind" quickly here. I get a ping of between 150 and 300 on the Asia server for WoT, and sometimes you miss because of the ping and "damned lag" (honestly, that's the reason). Of course, in an even faster-paced game like War Thunder it is crucial to have a good ping rate.
besty693 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 hey guys aussie here as well wondering what fleets are out there for us, anyways waiting on the pre order too come back up see you's in game

Seaman Stains Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 There IS an Australian-based "Guild" or "Clan" called BOON. There is a thread here (see "List Of Posted Naval Action Groups/Navies - Updated Jan 9, 2015" thread on the Guilds, Clans and Trading Companies Forum). Their "Commander" is LordBlowtorch as advertised there. In the initial thread, there are lists of Guilds/Clans etc, their commanders, and a method of contacting or joining, but there is no such information provided for "Boon". He simply replies to this thread, and apparently has provided no further information. I hunted around a bit to find where I could look at them, and then decide whether I wished to sign up, but could find nothing. I guess you could PM the commander to find out more. What sort of Guild/Clan/Navy are you looking for? What do you see as your main activity in this game when it becomes Open World (HMMMMM....Open world....GURGLE....)? For myself, I don't think a fully regimented Navy career would be for me, nor would the other end of the scale, a hunted and feared Pirate. I am thinking of a private contractor, that might deliver small to medium cargoes around the world, or to be tasked with protecting another captain who is delivering such a cargo. That sounds like a Guild, or "East India Trading Company" type of Guild/Clan/Trading Company. Exploring and discovering and mapping and treasure hunting might be fun as well, but I don't want to be forced to do something I'm not too keen on, especially if the vessels we buy/earn/are presented with are LOST when we lose them.
