    Creating a Custom Battle:

    Recommended Historic BR limits for players:
    • Tier 1 =/< 1.7 (Pre-War)
    • Tier 2 =/< 2.7 (~Early War)
    • Tier 3 =/< 4.0 (~Early-Mid War)
    • Tier 4 =/< 5.3 (~Mid-Late War)
    • Tier 5 =/< 6.3 (~Late War)
    NOTE: Sweden vehicles are not available to spawn as bots in ANY mode. However, the benefit of this is using exclusively Sweden to create a full PvE game if all players join only Sweden.
    Approximate Bot Rank Difficulty:
    • Tier 1 =/< 1.3
    • Tier 2 =/< 3.3
    • Tier 3 =/< 4.7 (still low enough that bots do not spawn in heavy tanks)
    • Tier 4 =/< 4.7 (currently bugged as a duplicate of Tier 3)
    • Tier 5 =/< 6.3 (bots spawn in mostly heavy tanks)
    You can also modify the standard gameplay rules by choosing "Custom" difficulty at the top:

    Custom Difficulty gives you a lot more control over gameplay settings:

    Note: "Evaluated Difficulty: determines overall lobby category in game browser
    • setting to Arcade is only way to get Arcade bombsight.
    Note that sometimes Custom Difficulty settings can cause a bug to pop up when you try to launch the game:

    This is caused by some data transfer error with the server, but can be safely ignored. Keep trying to launch the server anyway until it works. If it does not work after 3-4 tries, try re-creating a new game session.

    SETTING UP USER-CREATED MISSIONS

    To install, first, do you use steam? If so, the UserMissions install location is easy to find:
    1. go to steam library
    2. right click war thunder, select properties.
    3. go to local files tab, click brows local files.
    You can also find it directly this way:
    ...\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\War Thunder\UserMissions

    If you do not use steam, install directly to
    ...War Thunder\UserMissions

    Finally...
    1. Download the mission and extract the file.
    2. Take only the .blk" and .csv (.csv is not "a must") files from the rar you've downloaded.
    3. Put only these 2 files inside the Usermissions folder.
    4. Open the game and go to: Main menu> User mission, here you will notice there's several tabs like: "Eastern front", pacific front, User Missions... . Some missions will not be on the tab called "User mission", but on the tab Eastearn front or maybe on the Pacific front.
    5. Note that some custom missions require specific vehicles.
