Naval Arcade Bot Setup & Operation

Everything you need to configure War Thunder and start the bot cleanly from the hangar. Follow these steps once during initial setup.

01

System Prerequisites

  • ✓ OS: Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit).
  • ✓ GPU: Dedicated NVIDIA or AMD GPU recommended for real-time neural vision inference.
  • ✓ Run Mode: Run the provided standalone WT_Supervisor.exe directly (no Python installation required).
02

War Thunder Graphics Settings

Because the bot operates strictly out-of-process via desktop screen capture (avoiding any game memory injection), War Thunder must not be running in exclusive fullscreen:

1. Launch War Thunder → Open Options → Graphics
2. Set Display Mode to: Windowed or Fullscreen Windowed (Borderless)
3. Resolution: Any standard 16:9 resolution (1080p, 1440p, or 4K)
03

Enable Game Telemetry API

War Thunder has an official built-in web diagnostic feed that outputs vehicle speed, heading, and distance to localhost. This allows WT Supervisor to read combat metrics without injecting into game files:

  1. Close War Thunder completely.
  2. Navigate to your War Thunder game installation folder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\War Thunder\).
  3. Open the file named config.blk using Notepad.
  4. Confirm or add the following line under the root section:
    localAirInfoHttpEnabled:b=yes
  5. Save and close the file.
ℹ You can verify this anytime by opening your web browser while War Thunder is running and navigating to http://localhost:8111. It should display the live telemetry page.

Starting the Bot from the Hangar

Follow this sequence whenever launching your grinding session:

Step A
Prepare in the Hangar:

Open War Thunder to the main Hangar. Make sure your naval vehicle lineup is selected and the game mode is set to Naval Arcade Battles.

Step B
Launch WT Supervisor:

Run WT_Supervisor.exe. The companion UI panel will appear on your desktop with live status indicators.

Step C
Press F9 to Start:

With War Thunder in the hangar, simply press F9 (or click ▶ RESUME on the supervisor panel).

Auto
Automated Match Queuing & Combat:

The bot automatically detects the hangar, clicks "To Battle!", joins the match queue, spawns into battle, and seamlessly transitions into optical target acquisition and continuous aim tracking.
