• Welcome to the Vanguard Community

    These forums date back to the game's origins as the Crysis mod Traction Wars. Over the years the game and internet habits have evolved and discord.gg/vanguardww2 is now the principle home of the community.

    The team continue to read and reply to posts here, but we can be contacted more quickly on Discord.

    So.. where are we?

    Someone taught me once, there is a difference between motivation and dedication. Do you know this difference? Motivation is temporary - I feel like it, I don't feel like it, maybe I will spend an hour or two on it. Dedication is more permanent - I may not want to get it done, but I need to, so I...

    What compass directions to use?

    I think this WWII compass image will help us all figure out how boots on the ground looked at things back then: Detail:

    Possible Website Bug? ("New Likes" button)

    The top of my page has the bell that says "101 NEW LIKES", though when I click on it nothing happens. I'm on Google Chrome. Hovering over the button, my browser says the URL is "javascript:void(0)". Not sure if it's me or the site, but wanted to bring it up in case it isn't already known.

    Waiting for dev updates ...

    I often hear the dev team is working in the background on the game, which is why there haven't been dev updates. As much as I want to respect that comment, it only works a few times. There are over 2000 fans of this game and dev updates have declined to a near-zero pace. The game has amazing...

    Rain, Storms, Other Bad Weather

    One thing I miss the most in War Thunder are the times when you can get into a game that has rain and other kinds of weather. Though it is still in the game, the live matches just about never have storms, you have to set it up in test flight or custom games. I found it to be very immersive and...

    Revive the Dying Genre of FPS

    Most of us are old enough to remember "the good days of FPS games" when we had the early Medal of Honor games, early Battlefield games, even the early Call of Duty games. The list can go on for a while. And most of us can see how there has been a slow decline in quality in the newer FPS games...

    What games are you playing?

    Bots have always been a h00t to play against. My most favorite are the bots in Battlefield 1942; some of the tings they do make you wonder if they have a mental problem ... hmm.

    War Thunder General Chat

    I hear there are many here who play War Thunder, so I've decided to make a general thread about the game for us to post in. I guess I'll do the honors to start it off: I've been playing WT since early Beta, and now I'm researching tier 4 and tier 5 planes (late-war props and jets) in all...

    Games to play before TWs

    Hmm. I have a very nice Free To Play game if any of you are interested. It's called War Thunder. For now, it is only Aviation (air combat) but ground forces will soon be released and then will be naval combat. The game is beautiful. Here's one of my videos just to give you a little bite of...

    New Guy

    I looked for an introduction thread and didn't find one, so I made a thread. I hope that's okay. Hi, I'm Swaffy. I found this place while searching for a Lee Enfield 3D model to use for my BF1942 mod. Well, I saw the No4 model here and was completely blown away. Yes, I had to pull up the big...
