Situation Awareness

Share your live battle map and observed opponent roster with your squad.

Windows 10/11 x64 · Standalone EXE

Set up your squad’s live view

  1. Launch the collector

    Save the EXE in a folder where you can write files, then run it on the Windows PC running War Thunder. Enter your clan tag using only letters, for example DHN. The collector remembers it.

    For Squadron Battles, select SQB (8v8) before starting the stream. The collector remembers your choice. The live page uses the current match’s 8111 combat feed to identify the opposing squadron and fill its eight roster slots.

    If the collector is waiting while you’re in a battle, check the game’s browser map on the same PC at http://127.0.0.1:8111.

  2. Start and share

    Select Start Stream to create a new live page. Use Copy link to share the full URL with your squad, or Open page to view it yourself. Anyone with the link can watch in a browser without installing the collector.

  3. End the stream

    Select Stop Stream to close the live page for everyone. The match data disappears from open views, and the old URL can no longer be used. The next stream creates a new link.

Save each match locally

Select Record each match beside the app before streaming. The collector creates a separate dated folder for each match under recordings next to the EXE.

Each folder keeps the map image and the sampled 8111 responses with timestamps and HTTP status. Stopping the stream leaves those files on your PC.

The /state flight telemetry feed and game chat stay on your PC.

What teammates see

The live page uses War Thunder’s local 8111 interface. It shows map contacts as the game reports them and adds opponent names, vehicles and vehicle losses as they appear in the battle feed.

Map contacts are anonymous. The roster fills as events arrive, so some opponents can be missing. In standard mode, a player enters the roster when a combat message shows a squadron tag different from the configured tag. They may change vehicles or leave the battle after the last report.
