By the way the reason why sound mods were temporarily disabled was because of e-sports niggers. Gaijin will re-enable them after the WTCS Challenger League playoffs end on April 12th.
>>561791374I thought it was because they were incompatible with the infantry mode. You had to disable mods to play the infantry test. Which I didn't do.

>>561796235late game is exactly the crucible where skill and plane quality are most important
>>561793723f-22 is the final rapist of this game (just like IRL) assuming they model stealth correctly. you will only be able to lock it within 12-18km frontally, and less if it's raining
>>561796846thats the case with every stealth jet
>>561796846>assuming they model stealth correctly.lol. lmao even.
>>561794810>its funny how they will be "stealth" jets yet everyone will just be taking the underwing pylons anywaon the f-22, the underwing missile pods it recently got are stealthy. they can also fit Meteors.>>561796942considering the f-22's RCS is between a thousand and ten thousand times lower compared to the su-57, no. the j-20 is also utter dogshit in everything except *pure* front-aspect, it's only made for shooting a missile at an AWACS at high altitude then running away.
>Su-57 and J-20 will be the bestI believe it. Only because this is a fantasy game where real life performance has no impact on the quality of said vehicles.
>>561797082okay thanks for the self report, retarded poster
The game actually ends at 6.7. There's nothing good beyond 6.7.
>>561797129i fully believe they will make su-57 stealthier than f-22 / f-35 even though just the su-57's IRST on its own has hundreds of time higher front aspect RCS than an entire f22
Speed is the single most important aspect of a jet and positioning is the single most important skill to be learned especially at top tier. You can always work around piloting a brick or having very few countermeasures by being in the second line of fire, or not knowing how to notch by defeating missiles kinematically but you CAN'T work around being slow or in a shitty position.See the F-15E/I, fat fucks that rape matches because they happily sit at mach 1.8 and lob missiles without giving a fuck>>561797082That's stupid. Any sort of disturbance in the plane's geometry strips it of all stealth>but the manufacturer says they're stealthyonly stupid people believes manufacturers
>>561797537rare tranime poster w
>>561797537>Any sort of disturbance in the plane's geometry strips it of all stealthyou're an idiot who even slightly understand any of the principles behind stealth. you could stack an eiffel tower worth of 45-degree-angles on the bottom of a b-21 and its RCS would not change.
is the gacha coomer underaged? he puts off that vibe to me. feels like one of those kids that lowIQ grooms in their discord
>>561797537>See the F-15E/I,Both have horrific air RB stats
>>561797708technically not the plane but the thing under its wings is a dead giveaway>oh wow why is this object on my radar going mach 1.2?>idk ivan let's fire a missile at it
>>561798189>technically not the plane but the thing under its wings is a dead giveawayi'll just repeat what i said before: you're an idiot who doesn't even slightly understand any of the principles behind stealth. this is okay, because most people also don't understand it, but you should not writer your guesses online about something you know nothing about.when you see underwing stealth pylons on a stealth aircraft, the edges are aligned to the edges of the airframe. see how the nose is cut so that it has the same angle as the nose angle of the plane? that means virtually all of the radar energy is reflected to the very specific angle that the nose is reflecting, and while the plane is maneuvering, a radar will be lucky to get flashed with that strong reflection for one nanosecond, too fast to get any sort of targeting lock, derive velocity, or even distinguish between an airplane and a random object in the air.
>>561797305No doubt, they'll make the both the Su-57 and J-20 have the exact same RCS value as the F-22 and F-35 because... well they said so. So it must be true! Anything else is a lie by the perfidious albions)))))

>>561793723The Gripen
Too much discussion about a topic that Gaijin will never model correctly. All stealth planes will just get a low RCS aspect multiplier parameter like the F-117. Enjoy.

>6th gensno such thing
>>561799115the radar modelling in this game is autistically accurate in some areas, they might do this reasonably well
>>561799289Good thing every su-57 ever produced has the exact same spherical IRST and it's a standard production feature of the plane. Tard.

Why don't they make LO tanks? Surely with Russia fielding KH-38MAs that use radar guidance it would make sense...
>>561799776>ten thousand times higher than the F-22as much as like dunking on suckhois your claim is dumb. a 1x1 centimeter square is physically impossible to achieve
>>561800259>a 1x1 centimeter square is physically impossible to achievein what way? if you take gigantic two flat pieces of metal and angle them at 45 degrees and coat them in RAM, the radar return will be vastly smaller than an f-22, even. it's said that the b-2 / b-21 have significantly smaller RCS than the f-22
>>561800259>americans can't do it>huuurrr it's imbossible to do itIt's like the railgun all over again. US said it was impossible and the chinese built it. Who says it's impossible? You need to import pajeets because your "expert scientists" are dumber than ever

>>561800545It is. It's just a ponzi scheme to recycle corruption money into the big government, but the propaganda is strong
>>561800410you have one or two little things called intakes that reflect radar beams like it or not
>>561800975>you have one or two little things called intakes that reflect radar beams like it or notexactly what makes you think an air intake can't be stealthy? just because the russians straightpipe them and expose the compressors doesn't mean americans are so dumb. the f-22 / f35 / b-2 / b-21 use S-ducts with the duct angle set to the exact same one on the vertical stabilizer, it adds essentially nothing to the RCS. same with the intake housing, the angles are collimated to other angles on the plane, hence why theyre diamond shaped to match the angle of the vert stabs
>come back from my 2 month break>team gets absolutely butt fucked>matches are exclusively up tiers>enemies magically seeing me>random tanks making no sound at all>spawn camps every single match>radar deciding it doesn't want to work>rounds decide to either not pen or do no damage if they do>2 hours of pure sufferingI'll say it every single time. It is shocking that people can subject themselves to this bullshit. Welp I'll try again next month if I get the itch again.
>>561801193I'm not saying an intake can't be stealthy. I'm saying they always reflect radar beams.Also in your picture there's a pretty large gap between the fuselage and the intake that reflects beams too. The F-35 and J-20 have their intakes fully integrated into the airframe to solve this problem.
anyways muttshit jets will be trash because they'll bring full fuel and full bomb loadoutsyou can give them 0 rcs and will still lose

>>561801813>I'm not saying an intake can't be stealthy. I'm saying they always reflect radar beams.they reflect radar beams the same as the rest of the airframe: at diagonal specular angles that don't harm the frontal RCS. you don't understand the underlying principles of stealth and think "a thing on the plane = unstealthy">>561801813>Also in your picture there's a pretty large gap between the fuselage and the intake that reflects beams toothat's the boundary layer gap, the geometry in that gap is the same as the rest of the plane, ie. stealthy. "a gap on the plane" does not mean unstealthy. all of the geometry is collimated. the f-35 simply uses a different design for the boundary layer, it's unrelated to stealth
How is it that natoniggers can spawn 4 times while vatniks only spawn twice at best and they still lose the match 60% of the time?Are they THAT bad? Its not like the entire enemy team is playing bmpt's that are hard to deal with its the same fucking tank for the past 5 years

>>561793723F-22 will perform the worst because of the AMRAAM's and lack of HMD. It'll also be slightly worse then the Eurofighters in terms of FM, so better then the J-20 but worse then the Su-57.Play either Russia or China, Su-57's will have DIRCM and great radar angles while the J-20 will be the best at the iron dome meta. >F-35'sgiga shit, immediate DOA, nothing that makes them useful IRL will be introduced in War Thunder, only will be saved by Meteors (which will never come to the U.S, even though they're the ones doing the testing and intergration). tldr; U.S air tree is shit and should be culled back to the F4 Phantom.
>>561857383>Su-57's will have DIRCMI'm like 90% sure they won't implement it for balance's sake. The only reason LDIRCM exists on helicopters is because most nations can get helis with one whereas the Su-57 would be the sole LDIRCM carrier among top tier jets, which wouldn't be balanced. The same exact logic prevents them from implementing PTABs btw. And no, I'm not making this up, that's how they explained their absence in the past and that's their general stance on any weapon system that only one nation can ever get (though they find it acceptable if certain nation(s) get them first before others, it's the theoretical option of balance down the line that's important to them).
Noob question:My understanding was that hesh can travel through thin armor and cause shrapnel inside the vehicle, but in terms of functionality it was used on lightly armored vehicles, similar to a HE round in lower tiers. However it seems like it has 127mm of pen, which is more than the BRM1 round. Do I fundamentally misunderstand what hesh is and how to use it? Is the penetration a lie, like with heat, and only counts if it's directly straight on? Or does hesh work on decently armored vehicles and I just assumed wrong?

Man, this game is awesome.
>>561858231Look at HESH as better HE. It comes with the same caveats because of how the game works. You have to aim near the thin areas of the target. HE used to do no damage, then they added an overpressure mechanic that allows energy to travel through thinner plates in the game, which is very unrealistic, but is made in order to make certain weapons feasable.

>>561864653Even then you can usually maul half a coastal team alone and only end up with around ~2000 points
>>561865352Meanwhile a single fatal torpedo on a big ship yields you score comparable to a full kill in ARB later in the battle.
>>561864653I got a lucky magazine explosion and it sank like 1 minute into the battle.At 2.7 coastal the top scorers have 15 kills and 30000-5000 points. At 7.0 ships it’s more like 3 kills and 1500-2000 points

DUDE CREWLOCK why did those vatniggers never tweak that mechanic or better yet change it so that everyone gets 3 guaranteed respawns and the amount of points you score in game is directly capped by respawns you dont use so if you die once and dont spawn any more your gains are slashed by a factor of 2/3 or 1/3 if you spawn twice and dont spawn for the third time.

if Russian stuff is bottom tier garbage and chinese stuff is just inferior copies of Russian stuff, what does that make chinese stuff

The fact the first infantry beta had the PSRL in it makes me wonder what other oddball weapons we're going to get.>>561968934Still a more interesting tree than Israel
>>561968934this image needs to be updated, gives too much credit to china
>>561968934simply hilarious that the highest ranked vehicle in their ground tree is a taiwanese M1 abrams

Last game I shot a guy and fucked up his barrel (see picrel) but he was still able to shoot at me (three times before I managed to kill him). Picrel is from the replay.I thought you couldn't shoot with a fucked barrel?
>>561970235hehe stinky fart hehehe
>>561970530I like this
>>561965191the whole thing is a mess>no more 'at a glance' armor values>bullshit info like bullet proof milk trucks or heavy tanks with 'no armor'>'artillery protection' can either mean 'fully armored turrets' or '10mm of splinter protection'>you got x number of this particular gun, and x number of exactly the same gun. where/how they are mounted, or who controls them is a mystery
>>561970783iron dome
>>561970858ruzzians do it better
I ran out of shit to test drive.
updated and correctedlemme know if there are errors or it needs more changes
>>561972616keeeeeeeek
>>561972616So basically my hunch that it's a great starter nation as you get a taste of both US and USSR vehicles in lower tiers and then get some more unique vehicles in higher tiers seems to have been true for ground at least (which is mostly what I play)
>>561973237Italy would be better. You have that mix of US\USSR vehicles but you also get a more lot of unique shit in all the BRs
>>561973428Hmm, I get what you mean, plus you get some german stuff too, which you don't in the chinese tree. In terms of vehicle choice, I think you're right.Only downside I see is the italian tree is much more vehicles, which might be a bit worse in terms of pacing. The chinese tree has really nice BR progression for a beginner who plays without premium (at least for me). I progress often enough in BR that I face new challenges and have to adjust my playstyle while at the same time having enough time inbetween BR jumps that you get to know the BR you're in. Or do trees with more vehicles have lower RP cost per tier (so the total is identical just split over more vehicles?) if so, then you'd play the same time at a given BR in italy as china, but get to try more vehicles while doing so.
>>561973848Unfortunally no. More vehicles = more RP to research. There are some caviats to it (Rank sheananigans or more foldered vheicles) but overall that's the rule
devblog when?
>>561974260Yeah in that case I suppose the faster pacing would be an argument for china, though staying at a BR longer to learn it more probably also has its merits.
I want more kino from this game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRUy39hBbJ4

They should put infantry into ground battles instead of making it it's own mode.
>the mutt of the fifth generation
>>561980161France makes lots of stuff for Russia. They couldn't crubstomp Ukraine because French companies stopped making stuff for them.
Huh, you can preview animations and stuff now when clicking on the plane. When did they add that?
>>561980979In 2023.
>>561980979The December major update.
>>561980979dunno but its really annoying when trying to place decals on tanks
>>561981105lol true
>Should probably grind my Soviet jet tree to catch up to my tanks>Completely uninterested in the nonstop swarm of pencils with jet engines stapled to themThis sucks
>>561981754Take a lesson from zen buddhism and let go.I tortured myself with grinding shit I didn't like, doing missions for vehicles I won't play and playing playstyles i despise because they result in better scores.You can just choose not to. And you'll be happier for it.Then when you feel like it, play a few rounds to progress, but don't force it.
>>561981967Well that's exactly why I haven't done it yet and probably will just zone out in Sim in a TU-4 or something
>>561980562>Turkish flagAre they still allowed to get the 30 they ordered after the S400 fiasco? Or those have been cancelled too?

Make sure to visit Encyclopedia regularly. It contains lots of useful information.
>>561787806Selecting which server(s) you are queuing up for (depending on if your connection can handle it, of course, for example I cannot connect reliably to CIS) drastically changes the matches that you'll see. It sounds obvious, but NA has much more American planes and EU by distribution has many more Russian, German, etc. planes.Nothing wrong with this, but when queuing you should consider these things. For example, right now I like to fly my 8.3 G.91 R/1 at 8.0 BR. If I queue for EU, I'm more likely to get an uptier with 8.7 BRs represented, as there is a much higher population of MiG-21s on EU than on NA.The matches may sometimes take longer to find if I only queue for NA, but they are typically easier since I'm a little more likely to face 8.3 lobbies (which are no issue) or even get a full downtier where my 8.0 lineup reigns supreme. All of the dudes queuing with their ~7.7ish American lineups fill the ranks nicely.Just things to consider when queuing. Think about what BRs you want to play in and try to game the player population distribution accordingly. Sometimes NA is the server to avoid depending on your lineup, but honestly if you can connect to it it's usually way easier, IDK there's just so many noobs flying USA.
>>561984417I'm not saying you're wrong.But if you're at this level of metagaming to get easier matches, maybe you should take a step back from the game for a while.
>>561984886he is optimizing for happiness
>>561984991Wrong game for that.
>>561985104dont play if you dont enjoy it

Whenever I hear "Boyo" at the start of a game I feel a wave of relief wash over me, as I know the chances that I'm playing a hold w to win, handcrushingly hand-held vehicle are 9 out of 10.
is "tonk" REALLY hungarian for tank or did the devs do the same shit they did with finland and just google translate from russian
>>561986373the latterThey also translated "Leopard" as "Lepard" because ????????not even google translate is that retarded, lepard is not even a word
Do you guys make custom skins for your planes? I use mine for custom decals.
>>561961173War thunder would be a lot better if we had stuff like this, then I wouldn't mind getting nickel and dimed so much
>>561982620Poland or Romania?
>>561987361yes I change the colors of the pylons, the cockpit, and the custom skin if I have to
>>561987543Romania. I thought Poland already got F35s, along with at least 10 of every modern vehicle ever made since they want to create a world museum for vehicles with how many things they buy.
>>561987604Can I see?
>>561987690TIL romania has stealth jetscan't wait for the romanian anti air to kick in and sell it to russia>>561987774I have accessed the outer rim texture for the J11B and made it black and not blue. you can do this with a lot of textures, even the cockpit shine from the outside
>>561987906Damn, that is utterly slick. Well done man.I just put the waifu on the side of the plane.
>>561986373they just run everything through a translator and then use AI generated voice lines
>>561987906>>561987994forgot to mention even the secondary weapon containers can be recolored, here I cleaned up the s8k rocket containeryou do this by installing the content creation kit, opening its asset viewer part, and locating your vehicle - every texture used will be shown on the right so you can export it into your custom skin folder
>>561988427you can do this with missiles as well however they lose their skin instantly after launching which is a bit sad

>>561994420very based. gweilo in shambles
>>561994630Why are you in shambles?
>>561923774Fly towards the edge of the map and pull up when it says you're going out of bounds. Look behind you, level towards the horizon. At the last second before either you stall or you're repositioned, push your nose down to level out. You will be repositioned flying in the other direction, mostly keeping the new altitude you just gained. It's more efficient than doing real turns and extremely useful in chase situations (especially if the dude doesn't know about it, but also if your plane is naturally faster, you'll be able to get away from guys way easier this way)

>>562003694there are literally thousands of months and years old reports with no response
>>561996239ASPRO HMT is not hyper dense. It's the exact opposite, and mostly intended against HEAT. It only meets stanag level 5, so not rated against 30 mm autocannon fire at all anyways. It also hit that first block side on, and the first block has fucked armor values, for some reason.Bigger question is how the fuck that even managed to pen your hull side.

>>562003923>all that for Japanzamnand what do other nations get?
>>562003923We're pretty much at the end of the line regarding 4.5 gens. The only notable additions will be the F-15EX and J-11BG.Maybe dedicated EWar jets but they'd be extremely retarded.My best guess is 5th gens for the US, China and Russia in the anniversary update and then for everyone else by Christmas with their respective 100€ premiums.

Do you have a favorite plane, tank, or boat? Something you can go to when you've had a long day and just zone out with a smile and have fun? I've got one for each tech tree. The P-40 for America, the first Hurricane for the British. The He 112 for the Germans. MiG-3 for the Russians. That French Potez. Yeah.Those are good planes.

Can they add the F22 in WT without making it the most overpowered aircraft to ever exist? They might skip it and add the F35 instead since that plane is mid.
>>562024889why would it be OP?
>>562024937Because American propaganda told me that. Remember when Iran tried to shot down a US drone and when the Iranian pilot looked up saw the F22 and the American pilot told him to go home. Truly heroic deeds from a plane that is so advanced it will take other countries centuries to catch up. Anyway, that's why we're going to replace it with shitty F35s instead.
