[serene birch]

this is why you just use the API-T, incendiary is just fine at that BR because a lot of inter-war planes have pretty wacky fuel tank positions

(or as others have said, skip the 112. theyre not that great to begin with compared to other planes in the tree and at that BR in general)

[arctic granite]

there was a dev server where they added a 2.0 limit to your line up meaning if you had 6.0 the lowest you could spawn in after that was 4.0 and it was about to make the game so much more tolerable but reddit and retards (not naming any names in this server) screamed about it so loud they removed it

this was like 2019 if I'm not mistaken

[stray bane]

except I'm so slow that the game ends before I can do anything

the 52 has really weird CFTs on the upper fuselage

[somber urchin]

All F-16 CFTs look like that

Whats funny is that the center drop tank and CFTs actually make its range worse

:)

It just increases loiter time or something

because of how draggy they are

[mortal field]

dev server access is open?

i mean the WIP client

[somber urchin]

I dont think so

[stray bane]

I dont think there's even a reason to use drop tanks in RB

[arctic granite]

only planes you would want drop tanks on is rocket interceptors and J*ts

[somber urchin]

There absolutely is

in RB people are on burn almost 100% of the time

and in the F-16 thats only about 6 minutes

There isnt for props and non afterburners

but if somethnig has a burner its almost required to have any kind of range

[stray bane]

Is this some sort of jet issue that I'm too prop to understand?

Imagine having less fuel than a Komet

[somber urchin]

I mean even things like the later 109s

go through huge amounts of fuel on WEP

[arctic granite]

okay

now in a 25 minute max game how much fuel are you really going to use

[somber urchin]

Depends how much you take

if you take 20 mins of fuel thats only like 10-15 on WEP in a 109

There is also the Sim EC argument but that gamemode is dead as fuck

[arctic granite]

Yeah true but I also wasnt making that argument lol

[arctic granite]

better than vanguard

[arctic granite]

tbh that mindset is how you lose games considering certain maps are decided by single points

[stray bane]

8 players trying to all steal the same bomber kill from each other. (There are 5 MiG-3s outside of my house)

[arctic granite]

depends on the map when 90% of the maps are heavily skewed to one side

"Today I will spread out equally into the low and high ground instead of just taking the high ground"

yeah no.. you're always going to be shot from those spots purely because teams can't be relied on to dig out certain enemies

Just because there's a light tank over there doesn't mean he's aware of his surroundings

Relying on blue players in general is a bad idea, but blaming them for the reason you lost isn't accurate either

Securing high traffic areas or vital map zones is key, not just spreading yourself out so you can get picked apart individually

if the team were to spread out and cover a larger portion of ground, people wouldn't be getting shot from them.

according to?

[somber urchin]

Its better to concentrate your forces than spread them out 🙏

[arctic granite]

It's just a logical fallacy. "If the idiot was here he wouldn't have gotten shot" like... no? They would have still gotten bodied even if you reposition them

also no lol

[somber urchin]

If you want to not get shot from stupid locations

look at these locations before exposing yourself

[arctic granite]

"If blue players were spread out they wouldn't have gotten free territory"

he's got a point, they wouldn't have gotten free territory but also more spawn points

[arctic granite]

he thinks sitting in a field and dying endlessly is a good strat

no wonder you lose games

[ruby rain]

The reason I'm not playing the big 3 (at first) is bc I think it's too obvious of a choice
"you expect me to start easy? Well not so"

[somber urchin]

Yeah I see a lot of people with that view

and they always regret it

becuase like

why

[ruby rain]

Im not regretting it

[arctic granite]

yeah bro beacuse 50% of most maps aren't just open fields

we MUST have an equal spread on this map and die to long range fire and combat air support

absolutely imperative that we take the open fields and die in them

disreguard the middle of the map which has best positioning to take the lower objectives, push into open fields

defilades and hull down positions? nonsense, spread out and hold... essentially nothing.

[ruby rain]

Some maps have been recently altered and are not quite so open anymore

[ruby rain]

this oe for wxample

i could spongebob write this but i don't care nearly enough: That's why new MBTs got the bulldozer shovel

[copper laurel]

losing half the forces in enriclements seem to do massive damage to the army

[stray bane]

Do it again Bomber Harris

[arctic granite]

It's true, but the soviets had zero offensive power without lend lease and the major operations of 43/44 wouldn't have been nearly as fast and fluid without US flags on every logistical crate the Soviets had

It doesn't seem like the Soviets were running on fumes in 1945 due to being propped up by US supply but when you look at the events immediately after the tap was turned off we see a massive famine, an extensive shortage of manpower, lack of basic materials from gasoline to steel to rubber.

Then there's Britain which wasn't good for much more than their bases and the supplemental force every now and again

[valid ledge]

44 tons of pure stalinium

[arctic granite]

Bro you hold two roads on Rhine and Breslau, a ridge and a road on spaceport, three sightlines on cargo port, a ridge on Berlin, a town and a ridge on Maginot, a town on aral sea, a handful of sightlines on American desert, a literal oval on 38th and a ridgeline on fulda. All of these maps have exact key spots required to win 90% of the time

Even shit like abandoned factory once you reach a certain part of the map you can just sit there and dome people for 10 minutes and win

Same goes for middle east, port novo, any variation of normandy/poland, tunisa, volokolamsk, Japan, arctic, and even El Alamein

There's no reason to focus on points that are essentially worthless or won't get capped with having map dominance in other areas

oh boy, a map with a huge hill that overlooks the other two points? Clearly we should spread out equally instead of trying to achieve the advantage

[eternal zenith]

the answer here is left bottom hillside, shoot 2-3 tanks trying to flank spawn, get destroyed by CAS

[arctic granite]

that's my strat lmao

take hill then rape the spawn

similar with maginot, if you run down the side with the causeway you can just eat the spawn alive

same with Japan

same with eastern province

oh no my team isn't spread out perfectly even I bet we lost huh

[arctic granite]

That doesn't invalidate the fact that there are vital zones that should be focused instead of just wildly spreading out

You can win certain maps by completely ignoring certain cap points

38th, Finland, El Alamein Rhine all follow this ideology

I mean the R-73 was actually ahead of its time (note that russia to this day still lacks the BVR capabilities of 90s america)

yeah so is M829A4 (2015 ammo) but the slaves still get 3BM60 (2016 ammo)

stingers often get flared
huge ploomb of smoke from launch so unless your target is completely unaware they're going to dodge it
using rockets against planes
using main gun against tanks

forgot to mention it gets LGB'd before it can do anything

[somber urchin]

Id rather take a bradley

[ruby rain]

what a shit game

[somber urchin]

When are we getting the linebacker

[arctic granite]

seriously, at least I have dedicated anti tank

[arctic granite]

BR 11.3 because 92Ks sorry sweaty

[cold lichen]

The stingers are like that because gaijin refuses to fix them, the LGB are a problem for everyone, the rocket pod upgrade just make your AT capacity even better, Top tier CAS is usually blind and if they aren't, well L.

Granted the ECCM on the stingers is ass and it can't lock onto helicopter

[arctic granite]

gosh I just don't know what I'd rather use: The unguided 25mm with no radar and stingers or the Roland armed vehicle, the 35mm armed vehicle with radar and stingers (at a lower battle rating), The literal tunguska, the M48 chassis with cracked prox fuse 40mm cannons, the oto fucking matic, the OTHER roland, the OTHER radar guided 40mm with prox, or the dozens of lower BR vehicles with either the same capabilities or better capabilities...

[cold lichen]

The Rolands are actually useless rn and you know it

Unless it's a helicopter it's pull is astronomically bad

[somber urchin]

Flares also overperform in WT like crazy (I dont care what anyone says about X being unflareable)

[somber urchin]

I do fine with my roland

hell even my Flarakrad before the VT-1 missile got plenty of kills

even a T-80

[cold lichen]

Then my homie is dog ass or something but I've seen footage of its pull being abysmal

[somber urchin]

The pull is perfectly fine

its not a dogfight

you need to actually lead the target

not just leave the mouse cursor on the enemy

Its a midranged AA not a stinger

[cold lichen]

Even if you have a radar, it gonna help you for like 5 seconds before an S-25O obliterates your ass

[somber urchin]

Thats a game issue

[cold lichen]

Ik

[somber urchin]

Also radar in the game underperforms a huge amount too

mainly ground based AA

I have seen gepards engage cruise missiles with more accuracy IRL than prop aircraft in this game

[cold lichen]

If the game was accurate, aircraft would have more weight behind each maneuver

[arctic granite]

do you have exerience with any of these vehicles

[cold lichen]

I have up to the tunguska, mainly due to my pals letting me try them on their account

[arctic granite]

oh and the LAV-AD?

[cold lichen]

Yep

[arctic granite]

you have this vehicle on your account?

[cold lichen]

yes?

[arctic granite]

and you use it proficiently and not just rush caps and die in it?

do you prefer it as an anti air vehicle?

[cold lichen]

If "using it proficiently" is going on flanks and sidelining while performing AA cause staying with the main team make you a primary target for good cas player then yeah

[arctic granite]

using it proficiently is 1+ KDR against aircraft

[cold lichen]

Makes sense

But that usually for most AA

Unless your in the Asrad, cause that thing is just sad :(

[arctic granite]

I'm asking about the LAV-AD in particular

because as an AA vehicle it's kinda fuckin trash

[somber urchin]

Yeah

Line backer would be better in every single way

[cold lichen]

No

It wouldnt

[somber urchin]

How wouldnt it be

[cold lichen]

It would just be the LAV-AD but actually worse

[arctic granite]

the bushmaster would give it a lower BR making it more efficient

[cold lichen]

^

[arctic granite]

...I'm agreeing with him

[cold lichen]

Oh

[arctic granite]

it would be a better AA purely beacuse it would be more reliable

[cold lichen]

I miss read ;p

Of course it's gonna be at a lower BR, it's a God damn Bradley

[arctic granite]

and the LAV-25 is more lightly armored and less capable what's your point

[cold lichen]

They have the same capabilities, what are you talking about? The difference is that one is slow but armored and vise versa

[arctic granite]

(btw there's a bradley at the same BR as the LAV-AD)

[arctic granite]

? no?

The LAV-25 doesn't mount TOWs

[cold lichen]

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE LINEBACKER

Fuck off auto correct

[arctic granite]

The LAV-25 doesn't have TOWS or Stingers lmao

The Linebacker doesn't have TOWs

[cold lichen]

The linebacker loses its Tows For stingers

Which you have pointed out

Are dogshit

At least with the Lav-ad you can get around enemies

The linebacker would just be one another AA that can't perform its job because of gaijins inability to model stingers, one of the prolific MANPADs around

So the LAV-AD doesn't suck

[arctic granite]

the stingers are only bad beacuse they're fighting extremely capable aircraft

[arctic granite]

bro if you compare it to literally any other AA at the BR, it sucks total ass.

everything else is either radar guided or is radarguided AND has MANPADS

at .3 lower you have the Gepard 1A2 which gets the same exact MANPADS, radar guided 35mm, better APDS which transforms to better tank killing capability...

[cold lichen]

But they can just as easily chaff away a radar lock

[arctic granite]

I mean I guess? but I can still just manually guide a missile

[somber urchin]

All the roland missiles are SACLOS for some reason

[arctic granite]

the 25mm is only worth it if the enemy aircraft are being completely retarded, otherwise it's useless for anti air duties

[cold lichen]

You've just described literally every CAS player alive

[arctic granite]

yeah no...

generalizations don't exactly work in your favor like that, there's plenty of smart air players

[somber urchin]

So your weapon system is only good when you rely on the enemy to be incompetent?

[arctic granite]

even if the enemy aircraft are acting retarded they're infinitely easier to strike when your gun is radar guided

you can't even make the argument of "oh well it's 10.0 because of it's APDS"

like damn bro that's crazy britain gets the Falcon at 8.0 and is an absolute menace with a APDS belt

USSR gets a full HVAP belt that pens 30mm more at 6.3

[serene birch]

yeah uhh guns after like 8.7 are p useless for spaa

[arctic granite]

radar guided guns are worth a damn, but free fire? nah son no chance

[cold lichen]

Are you just gonna ignore the IRST the LAV-AD gets?

[arctic granite]

compared to dedicated radar systems that other systems get? Yeah it's kinda worthless

oh wow I have to wait till my target is within 1km to be effective

posted as I get ATGM'd to death by a helicopter 2km away

[somber urchin]

Helos are a bigger issue than aircraft with the current meta

[serene birch]

this

[serene birch]

yea meant free fire

[arctic granite]

burns through 300 rounds of ammo
hit

wow sure glad I chose the LAV-AD over the M247

[somber urchin]

40mm proxy is still pretty much the best AA ingame

Otomatic will fuck someone up with 0 warning

[keen sequoia]

I spawned in the M-51 6 FUCKING TIMES

[stray bane]

Oh nvm I didn't see the 10 ground kills

I dont even know how you managed that

Custom game?

[sleek fractal]

skill

Most WT Players cant even listen to engine sounds

[keen sequoia]

skill

[stray bane]

I mean respawning 6 times

[keen sequoia]

Kills equals spawn points

and with israel

you get like 3 free respawns as long as you have enough SP

and it let me use 3 backups ontop of the 3 spawns

[stray bane]

clearly doesn't play ground rb

Ground is just Air with extra steps

[keen sequoia]

Do you mean me or you

if me, yes... this is in ground RB

[stray bane]

I mean me

I don;t play it

I'm used to less than or equal to 3 spawns only

[keen sequoia]

ok

[stray bane]

What a real one
I didn't see chat in time before getting JFK'ed

: D

[arctic granite]

Where are my E-7/U-2 chads at

[serene birch]

no one seems to have it anymore smh

[soft oracle]

M109 will come next update... 😔

Wow it isn't 69.99 € but 64.99 € splendid offer!!!

[serene birch]

bro the harrier gr.7 is gonna be an even better ambush bastard

aim-9ms lmao

[frigid carbon]

when will the next sale be

prob in October in halloween?

[keen sequoia]

october anniversary

late october early november

[frigid carbon]

might buy the mig MLA then

if it goes for 35

[serene birch]

yuCK

[trail briar]

Oh good heavens!

[arctic granite]

Nov 1 anniversary

Do not buy premium packs above 20, buy talismans

[arctic granite]

These are a waste of money don't buy them

Yo where are the notes at fellas

Let's see if there were any actually Important changes

https://warthunder.com/en/game/changelog/current/1536

Mechanics for reloading guns when the loader has lost consciousness when the reload was almost finished have been added. For guns that reload single-piece ammunition, if the reloading progress exceeds 80%, the progress is not reset if the loader loses consciousness, and continues after the loader is replaced. If there are no crew members remaining in a vehicle to replace the loader, then after the loader becomes unconscious, reloading is stopped for 3 seconds and then continues, but then with a penalty to the reloading time. For guns that reload two-piece ammunition, the reloading progress does not reset below 50% if it has already reached or exceeded this number (this is because the projectile is considered to already be loaded). The rest of the behavior (when there is no loader replacement) corresponds to the case of single-piece ammunition loading.

Neat!

T14 finally got smoke grenades after missing them for 5 years

F6F finally got it's heavier bombs

B-57B — the ability to replace the 8 x1 2.7 mm M3 machine guns with 4 x 20 mm M39 cannons has been added.

Yo??

B-57 bros we're eating good tonight

Dynamic repair costs have been enabled for low lifetime in matches: the shorter the lifetime of the vehicle, the lower the repair cost. The repair cost cannot exceed the maximum repair cost displayed on a vehicle’s stat card, which is a fixed repair cost that the vehicle had before the dynamic repair cost mechanic was introduced. If you exit a vehicle by yourself in a match, then the maximum repair cost for that vehicle will be applied, regardless of the time spent in battle with that vehicle.

Neat, not that it affects me

The ability to accept apologies in return after a team kill incident occurs when the responsible player offered apologies has been added. Accepting apologies can be done easily, and when accepting an apology, all allies are notified in the in-game chat. The player will not be kicked from the match for the forgiven team kill.

Neat

AIM-9P for T-2

500kg for K-4

Nothing else of significant value

Still lacking in terms of qol upgrades and features which isn't surprising

Another three months another shit update, carry on

I'm hyped for 80 dollar premiums tho I can't wait for people to buy them completely unironically

[stray bane]

AA now ignores players w/o bomb loads and who haven't attacked any ground units in that particular spawn life.

The new air map is gorgeous too

Of course midterms are next week so ill have to wait until this evening to have time to mess with it

-$80 premium?
Literally the same price as a gen 4 DCS module at that point

[somber urchin]

[sleek fractal]

Thats not a cloud

Its the whole map

[leaden fossil]

I've seen a lot of stuff since the CBT, trust me

That won't surprise me

[sleek fractal]

Im playing since 10 years and that was never a thing

They fucked up a lot but never that

[ruby rain]

inb4 you smash into a mountain like that basketballer ina heli

[sleek fractal]

One guy complained the whole day today his RP and SL rewards are fucked up and low despite having premium.Turns out Game didnt count his premium bonuses

Thats a reoccuring issue

[leaden fossil]

Oh it was, super rare occurence but it was

[leaden fossil]

Pfff doesn't surprise me really

[ruby rain]

whats the deal with vehicles being foldered?

[leaden fossil]

Easier progression

[ruby rain]

I can now buy the Oliphant Mk1 A even though I dont remember finishing its research

[leaden fossil]

Moved or RP reduced... the latter one probably

[ruby rain]

Its now foldered with Rooikat Mk1 D

[sleek fractal]

Thats not a bug though,thats a map now

[leaden fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/no-words-speechless-dismay-gif-7582357

Back then it was a bug yeah. Sometimes leaving me wondering if my old trusty GTS 450 wasn't dying

[sleek fractal]

My R280 cought fire back then playing WT

I noticed improved performance this patch for once

[leaden fossil]

F. I never had that issue 450 was retired like what, 2 years ago from now?

[sleek fractal]

DLSS is still shit and makes the game blurry

[leaden fossil]

I had the "luck" to replace my whole PC in 2021, killed one core in my old trusty AMD Athlon II x4 640

[somber urchin]

Yeah no

If you seem to find yourself getting FOMO (Fear of missing out) due to fucking snore blunder

Go click the

It will save you money and time

[stray bane]

The snail in my ear telling me to buy the new premiums

Me telling the snail to fuck off

[somber urchin]

DLSS also makes the game only use 1 colour sometimes

[arctic granite]

Contrary to popular belief ignorance is not bliss and is usually infact harmful

[somber urchin]

I guess they dont know they are being harmed

[frigid carbon]

i mean just wait for the upcoming sale in 1 month or so

[somber urchin]

No

Dont wait for the sale

just dont buy anything

ever

at all

[frigid carbon]

i might get the mig23ML and the Kfir if they sale it

[somber urchin]

This was directed at you Iedy btw

[frigid carbon]

Nah , im good, i have the money

[stray bane]

I ain't giving em' shit

(yet)

[somber urchin]

Can I have the money

[frigid carbon]

No , it's for the snail :((

[arctic granite]

I mean I have the money too, but that doesn't mean I have to act completely ignorant with it

[ruby rain]

[arctic granite]

"I have the SU-25K" he says not willing to spend 20% of the money to talisman it and get all the jets he wants with minimal effort

[arctic granite]

don't buy premiums buy talismans

[cold lichen]

I wish I did that to the F-5E

[arctic granite]

almost every $60+ premium already exists in a TT form and is no better than it's TT version so just drop for a talisman that will be SIGNIFICANTLY CHEAPER

[stray bane]

Isn't a top tier talisman like 1/3 the price of a top tier premium?

[arctic granite]

yes, especially on sale they get down to like 1,300 GE

that's like 8 bucks

just don't be a dumbass with your money it's that simple

there's a significant sale in roughly 45 days

they worked a bunch of maps it seems

they added a train station to fields of poland

[somber urchin]

Yeah

The more open maps had buildings put it in so its less dangerous to cross

[arctic granite]

so Japanese 30mm is now the premiere anti tank weaponry for japan

[somber urchin]

What

[arctic granite]

Yeah just watched it top down a panther and M51

[cold lichen]

What plane?

Hmmm

APHE for the Type 5 30mm

[arctic granite]

Put two and two together

[stray bane]

Does Gaijin do Victory in Europe sales?

[arctic granite]

Yes

But that's May 7th

[stray bane]

Cause that'd be really funny if Wehrbs are getting talismans for their Tiger IIs on German L day

[arctic granite]

It used to be allied only on sale

[cold lichen]

But money

[somber urchin]

Theres usually allied only bundles

like US bundle

and USSR bundle

And like black prince goes on sale again

etc

[serene birch]

use the universal belts for that 30mm, it works wonders

[cold lichen]

Who here plays china

cause I see no point in playing them as a nation

[somber urchin]

Why do you say that

[cold lichen]

I don't find any of their tanks intresting

As they all see like knock-off T-72s

Their wheeled/light line is the only thing of intrest and thats about it

[arctic granite]

They have a lot of handholding

[cold lichen]

That too

[somber urchin]

only looking a high tier

Their lower tiers are really really good

a little generic sure

but like

Sherman + IS-2 + T-34s

bulldogs

etc

etc

[cold lichen]

Ehhhh

I love the shermans but not so much T-34/IS-2s

[arctic granite]

T-34s and IS-2s are more handheld than Shermans

[cold lichen]

The only "Handheld" thing the shermans get is a 1 plane stab

Which is big

But not "lol pen" big

[somber urchin]

At lower tiers its more than enough

[arctic granite]

All Soviet guns have retarded slope modifiers

If you're good with a 76 Sherman you should be godlike with a 34/85

[cold lichen]

Im saying its not fun playing the IS-2/T-34

[somber urchin]

You can have that opinion I guess

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[arctic granite]

Handheld bunkers are usually the epitome of fun in this game

[cold lichen]

[somber urchin]

its a lot more fun than anything above 7.7 lmao

Unless its a wheeled point and click one

[serene birch]

ive been playing china recently cause its all i really have left other than endgame sweden tanks and honestly theyre fine

makes for some interesting lineups because of the mix of allied and soviet equipment

their jets > their tanks tho

J-7E is gonna be the king again now that you can play 11.0

[cold lichen]

What does the J-7E get again?

[somber urchin]

PL-5B?

Its basically just a better Aim-9G

[arctic granite]

https://i.imgur.com/H65pPdK.png

Is that slower then the M10s?

[arctic granite]

uh no

exact same

https://i.imgur.com/DQdQkQ2.png

yo?

[cold lichen]

Everything modification has a animation now

The M1A2 SEPs TUSK animation is kinda cool

[arctic granite]

pretty worthless but neat I guess, now the braindead will know which mods to research

[somber urchin]

This shit is so generic and soulless

[somber urchin]

I like the tracks one actually shows you the real world difference though

instead of it just being "X% more traction"

[arctic granite]

yeah it is really generic and makes it look like a mobile game

[cold lichen]

Its straight up looks like enlisted

why do you need to get the Ki-109 to get the J2 to get the J5 to get the J7 to get the J2 to get the Ki-83

that's retarded

[stray bane]

uh cuz

reasons

possibly randomly generated ones

Did air trees get restructred too or just ground ones?

oh nvm the wiki hasn't updated yet

[somber urchin]

load up game
get 3/4 popups immediately
really cool :)))

they're pretty different in performance ngl

I'm several thousand hours away from having anything like that unlocked anyways

[somber urchin]

How slow do you grind

[stray bane]

I am a college student with a major skill issue

who has less than 100 hours total

and is F2P

[somber urchin]

Learn to grind

[stray bane]

I'd rather not encourage suicidal ideation

[somber urchin]

What Im saying is you will never actuall progress to get anything you want if you dont first learn how to effectively grind

[arctic granite]

when

[somber urchin]

gaijin really said "oh if you like the G6 youll love the Eland 90

[somber urchin]

Never

Aren't the jet BR ranges pretty fucked anyways?
