speaking of composites>look it up>first recorded attempts at composites were put in use on Ironclads
>play russian game>complain about russian biaswhat causes this?
>>551605537>ExperimentingExcrementing lmao, and da vinci experimented with human flight, gtfo fucking retarded loser>>551605654Sandwiching pig iron between face hardened steel isn't exactly what we understand by composite
>>551605763I mean, they also started testing it heavily on the T95the soviet's were merely the first to put a tank with it into actual mass productionthey did not invent it
Why do some autoloaded tanks not level out and lock their gun when they're reloading like IRL? Isn't War Thunder supposed to be realistic?
>>551605896By this logic t34 with concrete slabs was composite armor
>2026 next week>Gaijin still refuses to give the Ariete tank it's proper armor protectionThey got the L2A7 with Hungary side tree, why can't they just reduce the Ariete's BR to something more reasonable now?
>>551605763>throw clay balls randomly into your cast turret>the intention was probably to skimp on steel since it looks the same on the outside>apparently surprisingly good against HEAT, sucks against everything else>um we wuz engineers it was first composite armor!!!True story of how Varian, the T-64 composite turret armor came around to be.
>>551605982Because those tanks are Russian and it would be incredibly racist for them to do so.
>>551606270Textolite in hull defeated nafotranny garbage projectiles for 10 years straight Sugoi
>>551606503And then when nafotroons finally got a shell capable of going through Hol on, don't laughThey added a couple mm steel plate that made all nafotroon shells irrelevant againLMAO
>>551606129That would be considered improvised addon armor, yes.
>>551606503>>551606669if they were so much better, why did the USSR lose the cold war so bad?why did mighty soviet tanks get BTFO so badly in the Gulf War?
Hate. Let me tell you about hate. Unmute me. Anton. The chinks, the slavniggers, the regular niggers, the jews. They all need to know that they are not welcome in this world.
UNMUTE ME YOU SLAVNIGGERS
why does my game stutter every time i fire the guns on any plane
Chinese Century
Why does going from 4.0 to 5.0 feel like such a drastic shift in the kind of games I'm getting?In 4.0 I can zoom around in a Chaffee flanking people and dropping 8 kills easily, in 5.0 I'm lucky if I manage 3 kills sometimes.
>>551607397>permanent devoice from the gamelmao
>>551607023Because just like in WT, you can't defend against a tank 3 BRs above you and A-10s lobbing Mavericks from 10km away.
>>551608709Must have done something real bad, I insult faggots of all sorts all the time and never got a chat ban.

>>551608961>>551608709>>551609528Multiple chink copypastas that got me TKed by the bugmen, calling people nigger faggots, letting everyone know my hatred for the bugs, CASniggers, spaaggots, and flavor of the month lvl 18 premiums users. My hatred is righteous.

fuck I forgot about the premium sale. Is there one on new years too or am I fucked this year?
>fighter jet crashes are a 'gotcha' nowDamn... chinabros... our J-15...
Are any of the tank packs on sale worth it?
>>551615669ur boned
>>551616127What trees you play?
>>551616372Got all of them up to at least mid WW2 BR, with USA/GER/UK all at 10.7 or above. Least played are swedegros and israel.
>>551616471ah, in that case prob just pick your fav naitons and can decide from there, too much copy paste shit to go thru them 1 by 1
>>551616959Honestly I want to get a jet...should I get the J-7D or the A-10a?
>>551616135time to take a year break then
Yeah I think I'm gonna buy the J-7D.
>>551617038>the A-10a>>551617038It's not great and unless you are going AI convoy hunting in sim the F-111F is a straight upgrade.
>>551617495The F-111f isn't 50%, I decided on getting the J-7D anyways.
>>551617038For burgers either the phantom 2 or A-10 like other anon said>I'm biased and like the phantom more but a-10 is still ok
OKAY chinafags itt, I should be using the PL-7s on the J-7D right?
>>551617781PL5B
>>551617880Is going 2 each not good? I read that the PL-7 is a copy of the magic 1's and better at shorter ranges, but the PL-5b is better for distance.
>BMPT goes hull down>is now unkillablenow what?
>>551617973bomb it :)
>>551615608and yet, chink artists use the same artstyle...
>>551617928No, the PL-7 is not THAT much better at close range but the loss of range is absolutely immense. If you're close enough for the PL-7's maneuverability to make a difference, chances are the enemy is aware of you and will just flare them. PL-5Bs fit the plane's intended ratty playstyle far better and are much more reliable because of their super short burn time that often makes enemies assume you haven't fired a missile at them when you actually did.
>>551618135Okay. Now another question, how do you lock and fire missiles from farther ranges? Like it says it can launch from 16km but I don't know how to lock it from that distance.I am a noob to this BR of jets
I fucking love PL-5Bs
>>551614340You launch a bunch of Mavericks.
>>551618396your missile will not have the kinetic range to hit at 16km anyway, generally for PL-5Bs you want to fire at 3km and under, provided you’re gaining on the enemy and not subsonic while they fly away from you faster than youyou’ll get a pretty good idea of how much energy your missile has fairly quickly, flying higher and shooting down on people helps too
>>551617928only pl5b
>>551618396>how do you lock and fire missiles from farther ranges?You don't. How far your seeker picks up the enemy is how far it up the enemy, there's no way to boost this number on your end.>Like it says it can launch from 16km but I don't know how to lock it from that distance.That number is the theoretical kinematic max range under utterly unachievable fantasy conditions, i.e. you flying at your max speed towards a target flying at its max speed at super high altitude when the seeker isn't the bottleneck and is assumed to be able to pick the target (it never will because it's a rear-aspect missile). In other words, it's the distance the missile can theoretically cover, not how far the target can actually be for it to hit it.
>>551618605ah, I seedo I have to worry about anything else really? or is 10.7 not at the turbo cancer BVR range yet?
>>5516078464.0 is still, at least for the big three, Rank II territory, so everyone you fight is either actually new or doesn't care. 5.0 is solidly Rank III, so eligible for grinding the event. You get cheating chinks, sweats and people who generally know what they're doing at least a little bit. There are ways to go into 4.0 or even lower to do the event but majority of the team won't be those people
>>551618674>is how far it picks up the enemy*
>>551618678you can sometimes get hit by R-24Rs or AIM-7E-2s but it’s not all that common, you generally don’t have to worry too much about radar missiles
>>551618947Alright. I already have the chink(paki T-80) from that event last year. Wanted a plane to go with it. When is the best time to use countermeasures/chaff? As soon as you see an enemy missile coming at you?
>>551617973leave lobby
>>551618998generally you flare an IR missile once it’s launched, or you can preflare if they’re closer with some of the deadlier missiles for chaff, it depends on the radar missile, some get one chaffed while others won’t fall for chaff unless you’re notching
>>551619117Should I make separate buttons for flare/chaff? And what exactly is notching? I've seen cc's talk about it, is it when they pull hard in different direction to the missile?
>>551619184>Should I make separate buttons for flare/chaff?Absolutely.>And what exactly is notching?Flying perpendicular to the missile. It works because the missile is looking for a speed differential between itself and the target, and if you're getting neither farther nor closer to it (so flying perpendicular to it), the missile can't see you. In practice, the deadzone, which is set around a 0 m/s closure rate, goes quite a bit further into in the negatives (so that means flying away) that it does in the positives (so flying towards the missile), so instead of trying to get in a perfect 90-degree angle and likely getting picked up after exceeding the much smaller positive deadzone boundary, you're better off going for a 91-93 degree angle, so perpendicular and very slightly away.
>>551619453How can I tell what missiles are which?
>>551619836generally by what aircraft is launching it at you if an F-4E is launching a radar missile at you, it’s probably gonna be an AIM-7E-2 for example
>>551619836Radar missiles give an RWR warning (assuming your RWR can pick up the enemy radar's band).
>>551619184>separate buttons for flare/chaffdont make separate buttons for eachuse one key for flare+chaff which will be your general panic button and a dedicated chaff button for when you are certain the missile launched at you can only be a radar missile
>slightly yellow wingtip makes plane completely uncontrollable nice
should I bring a drop tank?
>>551620448depends on the plane
>>551620448If you can do so without sacrificing actual armament, it's always worth to bring a full tank. On thirsty planes it extends your limited time in the air, on not so thirsty planes it lets you bring less internal fuel and, if you're caught with your pants down, get rid of the drop tank and instantly get way lighter - something that isn't an option with just internal fuel.
Help my indecision: should I get a 5th bush, a talisman, or a chi-nu II with my warbonds

>>551620575>worth to bring a drop tank*
>2 games so far>4 killsI'm enjoying the J-7D as my first foray into above starter jets. Only one of my kills have been from missiles so far though.

Why were americans pretending they invented composite armour last thread?It's embarrassing
>>551621505ikr, the brits invented it
>>551621505The troon melty over thrust vectoring was even funnier IMO, how can anyone say it's bad or a meme if it causes THIS much seethe?

>>551621820all i saw was some faggot rustroon having a melty when called out for his prior posts claiming it would be an instant win button vs all other flight models, rustroons are so silly somtimes, probably the same rustroon that thought pidoroyshia has any actual 3D TVC in service
Case in point.
TRUTH NUKE in point
>case in pointcan you provide proof that someone else tested composite armor as we know of it today before the US did with the T95?

>>551625798when are you getting banned for racism?
i've played so much top tier that i don't remember if i need to notch or fly away with mid level sarh missiles without PD seekers
>>551625798>frogs>getting anythinghopefully never.
>>551622690Problem was that Regan's election destroyed the entire reason for a striped down light fighter (e.g. F-5 / A-4) to exist for US FMS clients, also 4 of the F-5 equipt European nations were involved in the F-16 anyway.Since he unlike Carter was okay with Clients getting access to "cutting edge" tech with minor electronics & "special" weapons related changes, and GD lobbying meaning that regular F-16A airframes were sold at less than cost with the Government covering the rest of the Tab, not unlike the earlier F-104 & F-86.So as a result anyone lined up for the "F-16/79" (F-16A/B w/ J-79 from F-4s) was upgraded to an equivalent Baseline F-16s at no cost. and was Offered below what the unsupported Northrop could equal; it didn't help that they had four competing offerings in the "same space" with the; F-5G, F-20, YF-17 / F/A-18A/B & F/A-18L on the go simultaneously.With the USAF / ANG ordering F-16's in their hundreds there was little case to purchase anything else for an Air policing, maritime surveillance or interception role; and with the F-15 sitting on the high end there were better options to spend more money on for those with more money to spend.
>>551625968>without PD seekersLiterally just chaff once, that's all it takes to defeat a pulse seeker.
>see missile>instantly flare, chaff, tilt and dodge into itb-but...I don't care. I don't have attention span to learn all the possible missile combinations.>b-but muh knowledge....don't care. get outskilled.
>>551626008give it to the rooivalk only then>>551626325you're thinking of pulse seekers, i mean just normal CW seekers that aren't PDthat's the ones i forgot how to deal with like the sparrowsunless all CW seekers are treated like PD seekers
>>551626731>unless all CW seekers are treated like PD seekersThat is exactly the case, CW and PD are interchangeable terms when referring to missile seekers in this game. Besides those, only pulse seekers (AIM-9C, R-3R, etc) are a distinct seeker type.
>>551626839ah ok, was overthinking things thenthanks for clearing up my confusion friend
>>551609174>invented by the Brits, first used in combat by Brit’sWrong, Timmy. >invented by Australia, first used in combat by IsraelWrong again, Timmy. It was invented by either a German and then used by Israel or Russians.
Everything good in the world was invented by Germany. We don't invent bad things in Germany. Why can't you be more like Germany?
>culling hordes of japiglets in fag-2s and muttlards in f/ag-18s in my trusty Jeff in SimBlock 3 with AESA, IRST, WS-13 and PL-15s for total rafail death when?
>>551626839>CW and PD are interchangeable terms when referring to missile seekers(Frequency Modulated ) C(-ontious)W(-ave) more so refers to the guidance signal, not the seeker. Though Pulse Doppler is also a viable type of illumination (one way datalink) carrier wave.The seeker would either be Reticule, Conical-scan, Rosette or (inverse-) Monopulse.
I hate the Yak-28 so much its unreal

how is packet loss now?
>>551627284Why doesn’t Germany have a Rolls Royce like company dominating all jet engine sales/making the best jet engines in the world if they invented the jet engine. Nazincels won’t answer this.
>>551627710>Rolls RoyceAren't they a luxury car manufacturer?
wtf
wouldn't they be cold
>>551628271They have warm jackets on, can't you see the fur?
>>551627818you only have yourself to blame for failing the math

>>551627818>18:00uhhh new tasks begin at 12
Strike Eagle or Super Hornet?
>>551631736both suck but snorenet at least has style points
Someone explain me how the fuck do chinkopters have ufo missiles that are absolutely unflareable?????
>>551632128they have both types of IRCCM
Chieftains honestly feel very comfortable to play>decent armor/survivability>good gun>low profile + good depression so you can chill in various positions>neutral steering, ok reverse>not too fast, so you don't push like a retard and instead preaim correctlyThe only issue is that the Biritish put 3 (three) MGs in this thing and all of them are fucking useless, because they have no pen. Like half of my deaths are to some papermache rat shitbox with a 20mm who teleports behind me and takes out my gun and I can't even .5 cal his perfectly presented side armor. Very frustrating.
>>551632393Wouldn't they work against each other? Like if flares enter the shrunken FoV and it shuts off, wouldn't it be extremely unlikely for the target to reenter the tiny little FoV when the seeker turns back on?

>>551632758i don't know, many anti air missiles do have itIRL the pl-8b has itbut also IRL they work in a different wayseeker shut off is for pre flaring only really and then the gatewith when launched
>>551633514they finally done with ww1 shit?I fucking hate it and didnt get a single DLC from that set
>>551632858yeah butare you obese?
>>551631736Depends on future additions, Strike Eagle at least, is more likely to get large quantities of the GBU-53 in future since they go on the BRU-61 quad rail, where the Hornet if Gaijin do in fact accept that references to the "F/A-18E/F", does in fact include the F/A-18E gets them on the BRU-55 dual rail.For 1000lb class stores like the JSOW the F/-18E is better since it can leverage the BRU-55, where the F-15E(X) is better for the 2000lb class, and "cutting edge" ordnance like the AGM-158 SiAW, AGM-88G and eventual AIM-260.
>>551633603https://il2-series.com/en/store/item/korea-founder/i don't hate it but i'm glad they're moving on to something else
where is gunslinger missile?
Why should the F-2A ADTW with its loadout be only 0.3 BR lower than the Su-30MK2 AMV considering the difference in ordinance?
>>551632858>browndroid
>>551634532Yeah, the F-2A ADTW should go up, 4 of the best IRCCM missiles in the game paired with one of the best FMs in the game, a healthy supply of CMs and an AESA radar is no joke for 13.0.

I'm sure Gaijin added an FOV to missiles that has no bearing on anything whatsoever and they also rebalance it whenever the community is whining that a missile is too powerful (but still, it doesn't mean anything because admitting otherwise would mean I'm wrong on the internet)
>>551648852fov for IRCCM exists only for IR missilesall radar missiles (fox1 and fox3) have exactly the same fov and it isnt used to balance the any of those missiles
You can really tell the autism in the warthunder community from how arguments work, a screeching autist could say that 2+2 makes 7 and then you show him on an abacus that it makes 4 and he'll still deny reality before tabbing back into his gacha games. Literally no functional human ability to admit wrongness
>>551648989>all radar missiles (fox1 and fox3) have exactly the same fovThis is incorrect btw. How does it feel to be mentally retarded? LOL
>posts the same thing he already posted that he doesnt understand is wrong
This is probably the "video resolution doesn't matter for filesize, 1080p will look the same as 540p" guy from yesterday
>>551641818>nobody:>butthurter: RUSSIA!
To be fair, a smaller notch window/stronger chaff resistance is an even better trait to have than a smaller FoV would be.
which just to be clear is part of what makes the mica so strong
>>551650045The MICA has a smaller FOV which is what gives it a "smaller notch window". You're extremely dumb, don't post more

so how do i counter all the soviet niggers in their su-39 spamming their air to ground missiles at planes? there's no flaring, chaffing or even multipathing them and they get like 16 of them per plane

>>551653951Nigger what the fuck are you even crying about this time, these missiles pull like 6 Gs max.
Gaijin I am begging you just give someone off the street 5 rubles to design maps for you, they will do a less insane job, how do you manage to fuck up even air maps
>>551654332Plus they need to give premium fighters a 90% reward nerf for bombing bases.

>>551656115The wiki actually lists both that and engine thrust.
>>551656242So... check the wiki? Useless stat cards
>>551656501Gaijin did say they are working on expanding the chart framework they developed for shell comparison to include flight performance metrics like Statshark so maybe not all hope is lost.

soon I too will be a raging homosexual
If the reload speed of an autoloader is not a balancing decision does that mean we can get the real times for the Type90/10? As it stands Gaijin basically made up the times and there are plenty of videos out there showcasing this.

>>551673182Ok chang no one asked
finally got my frog jaguar, and its been awhile since I played top tier GRB...what the fuck was gaijin thinking. Has the slavs given a valid excuse for the bullshit that is the BMPTs? They could move it to 12.0 and it would still do really well. Didn't this fucking thing job IRL?

Honestly top tier tanks would be so much fun if they removed mouse aim and gave everyone a semi-realistic FCS with joystick controls. It would reward positioning and long-range engagements instead of holding W to the objective.
top tier tanks would be fun if they removed all airniggas
novel concept, feel free to copy me gaijin>make simulation an actual tank simulation instead of forcing a specific camera view on top of a realistic battle
>>551675289I see it but what am I looking at?
>>551674051PL-5s would be nice, as long as it stays at 10.0, but then it would probably only have PL-2s.

>>551632694That 50cal is for rangefinding, however we have magical button press rangefinding so it's pointless. If I remember right as well gaijin broke it's trajectory so even if we didn't have rangefinders it would be useless.

>>551688560Well that dependsDo you care about ww2 or modernshit? If you care about ww2 the game is alright, not that grindy, but if you want modern tanks don't think about it. If you not gonna buy half a year premium on 50% discount, it's not worth to play>>551689104Nothing. That's the reason the economy is so shit, snore blunder has no competition I guess you could play a war thunder copy on roblox
>>551689284Okay back to Ostfront and HLL I guess. Thanks anyway
>>551688560It's bearable in WW2, starts getting bad in Cold War and is absolutely awful at top tier.So if you care in any way about modernshit -> avoid, otherwise it's worth a try
>>551689343>>551689668WW2 is the place for me, so does that mean the game is more accessible and less sleazy? I heard about that premium stuff and i'm willing to spend on a subscription, I just don't like the hardcore pay to progress shit that the Steam Reviews were talking about but I guess that only applies to the more modern vehicles.
stutter
>>551689787WW2 vehicles are by far the best game experience wt has to offerall the negativity you get in this general derives from top tier experience
>>551689787Game is designed to be miserable without a premium account/premium vehiclesYou barely break even and go almost bankrupt after unlocking new vehicles.
>>551689787Yes, WW2 is much easier to get into, you can even grind multiple trees with relative ease if on premium account.Consider a simple calculation, for 25 euro/dollar you can get 5000 of premium currency, you can buy 2-4 premium WW2 tanks for that on sale, while the cheapest you can get a SINGLE top tier premium tank is 30-35$ on sale.
>>551688560it depends on how much you play and if you're willing to buy a premium account. if you buy one during the yearly holiday sale, it's around $35 for a yearthis makes the grind twice as fasta premium tank at high tier will cost around the same and double your grinding speed again, but only for that one particular nation where you have that tankif you like planes the grind is about half as bad
>>551689787Yeah ww2 tiers are alrightit still has the dogshit mechanic where you have to grind out modules like repair kit and ammo but it's way more manageable than top tierDon't buy premium for the first few months, the grind is not that bad at low tier + you save money + don't give money to faggot devs + sunk cost fallacy

>>551691320>I'm downloading it to try out now, is there anything major I lose out on by just sticking to WW2?mostly hype from updates, the devs make the most money from top tier, so they only add a few (if any) unique additions to lower tiers each update - you will mostly enjoy what is already in the game, don't expect massive changes
