Mad Thunder Event Overview: ruclips.net/video/kANfhVXTCEw/видео.html Also, literally while I was uploading this video, there was a HUGE update to the event. While the tips and tricks are still all the same, just bear in mind that some of the vehicles are mildly different compared to what I say in this video. Again, typically not huge changes, but it's worth noting. Thank you!
Yea i assumed they will do nothing about it. I just have a mini heart attack making a blockade run trying to get to evac while under heavy fire. Very healthy and balanced gameplay
@@danlievonen I agree but don't you think it's a huge assumption to think your teammates have any interest let alone capability to work in anything resembling a team?
@@danlievonen that said, while unreliable at best, i made friends with some random guy in match and we took turns scrapping while the other covered and we both turned in like 3 loads in one match. The hard part is getting a teammate with more than 2 brain cells
Useful fact, brining an armored variant (solid or powerful) add significant weight and always reduces your total cargo space by 20% regardless of vehicle. -5 for base 25 vehicles, -10 for the base 50 boar, and -20 for the base 100 mule.
Other tips: 1. Be honorable - at the end of the match when people are sprinting for evacs, dont kill them, its just dishonorable 2. If someone offers peace in chat, accept it - much better resources for that match, and i promise there will be another server with no such truce if you need rage
I'd like to use this reply to apologize to AtomicAlpaca, who helped me out of a situation in the event, and i got trigger happy and killed them because I thought i didnt know their intentions. Wherever you are, I salute you
@@Tenebrius1963 I dont know how much battles do you have, i dont know if you even know what is rangefinder... Only thing i can assume is that you are lvl 30 in Germany highest vehicle researched is Tiger II(P) and pointing and clicking central mass is the only strategy without using rangefinder, because thats what all german mains are... I dont know what is so hard not knowing that if you are using sight made for this gamemode you CANNOT use rangefinder and by changing it to different sight will bypass this restriction
this event is just bad..... Like IK its a April 1st event but that begs the question why do I have to grind in this event? am I gonna earn anything in the normal game after this?
Dude, it's one of the best events that War Thunder has put out solely because you're not at the mercy of RNG to get materials, you can easily get like at LEAST 50 total materials per match even if you play it without sweating. It's not a bad event, you just don't like it.
@@MaticTheProto You think so? My experience has been the opposite of the other events, I've gotten materials to craft things with the fastest I've ever done before and I've been able to focus on materials that I need, like "Oh, I need electronics to progress, okay, I'll go over to the area that drops electronics" and bam, got the electronics.
they changed some stuff in the event today like the match now goes 20minutes instead of 15min and they increased the accuraty of mainly the twin guns on the boar
boar just got nerfed, the rpg explosive mass is now .75 instewd of like 3.5. its doo doo now the mule now doesnt need a rage token to spawn, and the armadillo is slightly faster 75kph now
Freaking love flying around with the flamethrower equipped lil vehicle 😂 Couldn't careless about the "rewards" just having a bunch of fun in this mode. But i have always liked extraction game modes so that probably helps.
I hate the exfil spots, and it’s just way too easy for people to camp them. Even if it’s not their own. They know they can because they spawn right near it, and that’s your teams exfil spot.
@@wingy252 yea RPGs could be considered recoilless guns but guns are usually defined by propelling a projectile by pressure/explosive force, which the launcher for an RPG doesn't it just guides the rocket during the launch while the rocket itself does the propelling.
@@MechTechMax Well, here is my 5 c - the top mount looks more like an M20 - 75mm RCL (recoilless rifle). The M40 is 106mm. But hey, when WT goes all Mad Max it's not really about authenticity...
@@MeIduce IIRC it's says 106mm in the tooltip, which makes it the M40 which is actually 105mm but called 106mm to prevent confusion (like the 75 vs 76mm Sherman guns). The reason it's still likely a recoilless rifle is because of the low velocity as opposed to RPGs. Though they did lower the explosive filler for balance and it is a fictional event so anything goes.
@@wingy252 well I want to play all the vehicles so you kinda have to grind. Not that I'm not having fun, but winning is fun and getting one shot by a 105mm napalm shell is not
Agree this event is uncharacteristically sloppy. Lots of bugs and bad exploits. It seems they fixed the silo invincible exploit at least. Im STILL experiencing the "3rd spawn" bug where i can't look around or use map/aim guns. I can still drive but it's hard and leaves me totally open to enemies
My biggest tip: Don't play. Edit: to slightly expand on this. Snail made a gamemode, in a tank battlegame. Where i am punished for seeking out tank battles. Yeah, i might be able to get resources from a fight that leaves me mostly disabled for the next person to kill me. Or its really interesting spending 2-3 min just driving to an evac to get killed. Game mode could have been cool, its just got too many issues.
rage scanner mod just doesn’t work on console, you can’t activate at all and there’s no listings for it in the settings/controls/options so i can’t even make a bind for it either
you said bullshit... powerfull boar is always better because gets rangefinding... unarmored version gets that bullshit circle reticle without rangefinder
not doing the events , i am taking advantage of vet players doing these events...this looks boring arty cannons on trucks dull tan colored unrusted box shaped cars, id rather see all events from the past in a game mode then redo them
It would be a more efficient event to play if people didn't extract camp or act petty af. So honestly full skipping this garbage. Rewards are trash, gameplay sucks.
Echidna is somehow the worst vehicle... how a 40mm AA cannon doesnt take out a car with multiple hits to critical areas is beyond me. Might as well be shooting paintballs at them. If it recoils enought to require constamt resteadying, i expect it to hit with enough force to warrant it. So right off the bat, 1/3 vehicles is basically useless. Doesnt even have the speed to dash and grab.
I've actually been enjoying the event A LOT, but I can imagine someone that isn't good at shooting with auto cannons and AP would have a horrible time.
@@Frisher1 you've lost it.... Edit: jokes aside my original comment having ratio'd yours should be an indication of the fact that you don't get why this event has upset people. Additionally I have a ton of experience with all CV9040's and Japanese/Swedish high tier spaa's so uh yeah.... I do know how to shoot an auto cannon?!??? Point in case people disliking the event has nothing to do with skill, (I mean just look at my content) but instead it's the fact that the event has terrible execution and is a crafting event in disguise. (A poor disguise at that)
@@Faded._ Yeah but tbh it's the only crafting event I have actually participated in because it's not tedious, I could easily go for the rewards that will stick with me forever but I decided to do the vehicles instead because it's more fun
This is more like "Finch" than Mad Max..... If the mode was comprehensive and fun we wouldn't need a video convincing us to waste our spring break for cosmetics and *zero silver lions* for all those hours wasted. Lmao😂 good luck if you are having fun and dont listen to me at all, do your thing, I like tank football while you might hate it.🤷 but this is not "Mad Max" this is just RB with crossout vehicles and sand storms. Any other take is in denial... This is not Mad Max.

Will u ever get a creator code ur one of my faverote wt creators and i would like to support u when buying stuff
Stop trying to polish a turd. This is a trashy crafting event with garbage rewards and if you had any sense you'd call it out as such

the biggest difference is probably that the strong boar was massively nerfed to 0.75kg tnt for the grenade
@@vaultence9859Maybe 1.75🤔 but the guy in the basement mistakenly dialed it to 0.75😅 and now it is exactly 0.75😂
The main issue is the evac camping, I’m not playing until they do something about it
Yea i assumed they will do nothing about it. I just have a mini heart attack making a blockade run trying to get to evac while under heavy fire. Very healthy and balanced gameplay
@@NomadianVita I mean they changed a whole lot with the update 12 hours ago so they _may_ do something, thats a huge may however
Learn to teamwork with randoms aka group up +4 players and exfil campers will be problem of the past.
@@danlievonen I agree but don't you think it's a huge assumption to think your teammates have any interest let alone capability to work in anything resembling a team?

The boar no longer can overpressure entire crews. Sad…

Easier said than done, I tried doing something like that and all I got was no resources and booted back to the main menu.
1 Tip - If you change your scope to Short Range Sight you will be able to use rangefinder :)
?

I rly enjoyed this event actually, pretty cool vehicles, sucks its limited time didn't get a chance to play it much but did unlock spikes and flames.
they changed some stuff in the event today like the match now goes 20minutes instead of 15min and they increased the accuraty of mainly the twin guns on the boar
Cool! Thanks for in depth guide and showcase of each vehicle. You first on YT who did that as I saw.
With the new update, as of today, you can spawn the Mule with out needing a rage token!
boar just got nerfed, the rpg explosive mass is now .75 instewd of like 3.5. its doo doo now
the mule now doesnt need a rage token to spawn, and the armadillo is slightly faster 75kph now
Thanks for the edge sesh mr tankstein
🤨

Honestly they need to make all crafting events like this, because waiting for like 5 years just to get one part of a big thing, fucking sucks
I hate the exfil spots, and it’s just way too easy for people to camp them. Even if it’s not their own. They know they can because they spawn right near it, and that’s your teams exfil spot.
Only thing im playing the event is because i want the spikes, already got the metal flame. Other than those ive no interest in this event.
Same loved the mad max game so hoping to recreate a couple of the event vehicles with decals in game
i thinkthe black spikes are cool to put them on like the top of a m22 to make it emo xD
I installed the loopscanner but it has absolutely no effect. It doesn't show anything. If I drive over junk, the car still collects stuff.
Gotta zoom your weapon, and it shows loot with a green crosshair.
The strong/powerful boar has the M40 rifle which is a recoilless rifle, not RPG. Thanks for the tips though.
But an RPG is a recoilless rifle technically more so a recoilless gun I suppose due to the lack of rifling
@@wingy252 yea RPGs could be considered recoilless guns but guns are usually defined by propelling a projectile by pressure/explosive force, which the launcher for an RPG doesn't it just guides the rocket during the launch while the rocket itself does the propelling.

The powerful rhino is basicaly a mini nuke luncher, it one shots most of the time and the fires can finish off player if the crew is exposed
Ive said this on like 3 other videos but this event blows
Must be the life of the party 🎉
yessir
Its just way too grindy. The vehicles should be able to carry at least 2x the amount of resources
Why not just have fun in the quirky game mode? Playing just to "grind" turns this more into an unpaid job than it does a game lmao
@@wingy252 well I want to play all the vehicles so you kinda have to grind. Not that I'm not having fun, but winning is fun and getting one shot by a 105mm napalm shell is not
Agree this event is uncharacteristically sloppy. Lots of bugs and bad exploits. It seems they fixed the silo invincible exploit at least. Im STILL experiencing the "3rd spawn" bug where i can't look around or use map/aim guns. I can still drive but it's hard and leaves me totally open to enemies
Thank you for doing what Gaijin doesn't have the brains or common sense to do
Fun event, thanks for the video man!
if crossout was a good game
I wonder if we make enough noise about wanting to keep the vehicles way unlock, they will do it if they don't already
I want to like this event so much but I can't. Out of the five matches I've played everyone just evac camps. I am YET to evac at all....period
I hope they do a Waterworld event next year !!
I just unlock the armadillo
İnstead the develop game mode for that. I would wanna see they fixing fuel problem and Arb problems
I had no interest in this event but because of your video I gave it a try.
- I still have no interest in this event :D
Number 1 tip and trick:
Don’t play it
I have this weird bug where i cant slew the weapon or evac on my third spawn. Super frustrating happens every game
My biggest tip: Don't play. Edit: to slightly expand on this. Snail made a gamemode, in a tank battlegame. Where i am punished for seeking out tank battles. Yeah, i might be able to get resources from a fight that leaves me mostly disabled for the next person to kill me. Or its really interesting spending 2-3 min just driving to an evac to get killed. Game mode could have been cool, its just got too many issues.
If i die, did i get rage tokens after end the game?
yes I think you do, or atleast I got them I think
Yes
Yes, when you picked tokens up, its guarantee as after match reward.
We should've gotten a 1v1 Thunder dome
Would've been siick
I see someone is a fan of the borfors solid shot
I couldn't play it, to many unemployed hard-core sweats just made it unjoyable. You would think I was in a COD warzone match😂😂😂
Boar is faster but have bad mobility
Love your videos dude…
rage scanner mod just doesn’t work on console, you can’t activate at all and there’s no listings for it in the settings/controls/options so i can’t even make a bind for it either
It is bound to one of the radar control buttons but I don’t remember which. Go into a match and bind them one at a time until you can use it.
It is bound to turn on/off radar/irst
@@spectralace314 ok thx
@@spectralace314 omg it works now thanks again 🙏
@@charlessandel no problem, I just had to get on the game and look
Why is Mad Thunder only temporary. Can't it stay
I have a glitch where as when I spawn for the third time I cannot aim ,I can shoot but it's like half my keyboard doesn't work
you said bullshit... powerfull boar is always better because gets rangefinding... unarmored version gets that bullshit circle reticle without rangefinder
It’s impossible to extract… 😭
Hey hey hey!
Tanken here 🤓😄
who wants to play. (fat albert reference)
How to you bind your loot scanner? I hat having to press R + ALT
loot scanner works only when you use your binoculars or the gun sight, the loot appear as green dots in the screen
The rino is been nerfed... once i almost oneshot killed any enemy, now it tooks several shots... it's pathetic
I don't get why I have to grind on a one time "fun" event. They should've just bring back the infantry from last year
Update! Rage token spawn cost of mule REMOVED!
There are no vehicle rewards for this even right? Trying to make sure I’m good to keep ignoring it.
Justvsome decals, few trophy/bolt ons. Only thing i was vaguely interested in were the spikes, but meh. Especially with how unfun the event is.
Cosmetics only💄
Do you get anything for the event?
what the reward for this event?
Flames, a driver icon, stickers, and a flag.
Cosmetics.
not doing the events , i am taking advantage of vet players doing these events...this looks boring arty cannons on trucks dull tan colored unrusted box shaped cars, id rather see all events from the past in a game mode then redo them
Show us what the mats look like?
They need to nerf the strong/powerful boar. Its hilariously overpowered. Along with the Rhino.
chicken wings to go please
How do you have mule already?!?!?
It would be a more efficient event to play if people didn't extract camp or act petty af. So honestly full skipping this garbage. Rewards are trash, gameplay sucks.
Echidna is somehow the worst vehicle... how a 40mm AA cannon doesnt take out a car with multiple hits to critical areas is beyond me. Might as well be shooting paintballs at them. If it recoils enought to require constamt resteadying, i expect it to hit with enough force to warrant it. So right off the bat, 1/3 vehicles is basically useless. Doesnt even have the speed to dash and grab.
All autocannons use solid AP rounds...you can guess how well it works against soft targets already.
pro tip: dont waste your time in this bullshit event
Crap event bcoz gayjn designed maps for extract campers. Waste of time.
It is usless to me I aimed and shoot to the gunners yet he shot down mine
mule has 0 spawn cost
No it has not?!
@@footofblut981 WT just released some updates to the event, so now, if you have the Mule, it no longer costs rage tokens to spawn.
boar goes 62 mph bro
I have a tip for you all. Stop playing WT. Stop feeding the Gaijin hamster wheel. The game is extremely broken past tier 4 and 5
Trick number one do not play it, that's all, no more
Tip #1: skip it, this event’s boring
As I predicted, this event is absolutely awful. WT and Gaijin are the bottom of the barrel in my opinion now.
I've actually been enjoying the event A LOT, but I can imagine someone that isn't good at shooting with auto cannons and AP would have a horrible time.
