I like the shockwave eventually catching up to the plane after the blast if you don't fly away supersonic.
>>562391479I hate the sound of the shockwave catching up despite going faster than sound
>>562390969peedaroshian ministry of defence confirmed the loss of an Su-30SM
Round 2 of the event is about to start. So is the strat to play USA first because it gets bottlenecked when most of the people are done grinding the star?Also what's the new meta with vehicles? Play in the first BR bracket o the second one with the meta shit?
>>562392136If you're playing usa, don't play the top tier, you'll be shit on by mig29s. They completely flipped the mode and now it's impossible for usa to win.
For the first bracket, do you limit yourself to 11.3 max so you're never sucked into the top bracket or do you go up to 12.0 and hope for a downtier?
>>562392319You can go to 11.7 without getting uptiered into to the top slop BRs.
>>562392557Isn't 11.7-12.0 an overlap lottery range?
>>562392557You can, the brackets overlap at 11.7 and 12.0.

Why aren't minor nations allowed, it would literally fix everything.
>>562394479How would minortrannies fix the overtuned cheating AA?
>>562394479Because Gaijin is saving them for the next event where you will be getting Mirage 4 and Vulcan
>>562310989Aaand I just got the second one as the other nation. Was a bit harder without the handholding

so they aren't going to add cool vehicles to tech trees anymore and make it all fomo?
>>562395073Anything that does not fit the meta and could be clubbed in air rb will be added as event vehicle.
>>562394872But enough about Yak-141.

Shooting down 4 nuke bombers and finally dropping the big nuke myself to win an almost lost game has to be one of the most satisfying things I've ever done in this game.
>>562389005The phantom is okay, it's the a-7 and especially the a-6 tram that utterly suck compared to the su-24
Just realised something, why the fuck aren't they testing EW in this event? The amount of shit the AAs are pulling would've been a perfect moment for it. One of the rewards could've been a wild weasel phantom.

MIG29 is currently the best plane to grind beause it has HMD

It was unironically more balanced before the balancing update.

It's insane how much of an advantage HMD gives you. Yak 141 and mig 29 are practially raping every game I'm in.
>>562402105Wait so that fag is not even chink? lmao
>>562402105where is the proofs
>>562402274Real chink came few times to laugh at him, and he got so defensive.

>pick A-10>bring 24 glide bombs>launch them all in the general direction of an AA site>it will go for the bombs first, even gun AAs>you can just gun cas them while they try to intercept the bombsIf you want to be super sure aim the bomb at first, but they will shoot at bombs from 5-10kms away in any direction.Also, while they do have infinite ammo, they have a reloading period after 2-3 salvos. Attacking ground units is also the easiest way to get spawn points, a few flyouts and you can spawn the big nuke if it's already at level 2.Alternatively squadding up will probably make it easy mode with being able to bring anti radiation missiles to shut the radar off and allow for precision munitions to hit.
Stop replying to chinkposting.

I hate topcuckslop tier gameplay and have never touched above 9.3 but the '6 gorillionx target destroyed' with a big ol mushroom cloud behind me hits differentlyfun event as long as you don't get a 12.0 match where that one premium f4s player with a brain just keeps heading straight into the enemy af and gets 2-4 kills each time, ending the match the moment big niggers are allowedalso behead every subhuman giving yous to the bugspammer
>>562402967freudian slip
>>562402650Can I play the A-10C in the low tier matchmaker? Where's the cutoff for that again?
>>562403403Floydian*
>>562403450yes you can
>>562403450cutoff is 11.7, but low tier is impossible for US since there is about 900 MiG-23s
>>562403394
Why is my sparrow tracking the enemy R27 when I have the fucking plane locked in, it's just so consistently dogshit
>>562403551>>562403584Thanks. I'll give it a shot anyways, queueing for high tier takes forever.
>mig 23 decides to fly low>AIM-9M magically decides to ignore the guy and fly upwards instead of towards the migger>even though the mig is not spamming flares at allI thought multipathing was only a thing radar missles
the secret to the default phantom sparrows in the event is to treat them like rear aspect missiles, the radar actually locks and casbabs try to flare
>>562404102yea, when 90% of the engagements are literally like picrel.
>>562404019Show replay.
>>562404102Even if they chaff it won't help unless they notch, Sparrows have a CW seeker.
>>562404489Not if you chaff before they launch, and they launch at chaff.
>>562404102>radar actually lockslol, lmaoonly if you are below them and look up, the ground echo makes it impossible to lock anything under 1km height
So I take it the non-PD radar buff from the dev server didn't make it?
>>562402501Post real, unequivocal evidence showing you actually play the game
>>562372392the Tu-95's ECM seems to work like how i've seen ECM in DCS work if i remember correctly, just makes your radar emission a giant xboxhueg column of fuck on enemy radars (or at least the F-4E's)
>>562406069Does it block sparrows from hitting?
>>562406305i dunno, i was too far away to launch any.
>>562406305yeah you cant stay locked on at all
to what altitude should i climb in the F2G?
did they actually enable br brackets for Nuclear Thunder?
nigger, fuck off with thiscan't leave either because 10 min crew lockgive me freshies PLEASE
>>562406069the B-52 one works the same wayi shot down 2 of them with the MiG-25 and it's impossible to keep a radar lock

>>562415207It had an "auto" radar mode that switches to MTI when you're below ~2 km of altitude and your nose is pointing below the horizon. Gayjin thought this was the only mode and implemented it a while ago but missed the fact that the plane did in fact have manual overrides.

>go to bed>keep hearing RWR
How the fuck does Gaijin think its fair to have niggering R-24R/Ts against radars that couldn't lock on to something the size of a skyscraper and missiles that get distracting by a candle? I know the answer is that they don't care, but this is retarded. ARMs have no impact on the game because the AA either instantly shoots them down and respawns infinitely anyways. I had OSAs intercepting my A2A missiles before they could even hit a target. And because the ground targets don't move when destroyed, the front line doesn't move, which means the map stays stagnant and the only change is when you destroy airfields, that's if you can dodge all of the AA that shoots through mountains and fires on you instantaneously. They are on the cusp of greatness and they can't seem to get it right.
So is this close to top tier gameplay cause I main tanks?
>>562421421not even close
>>562421421Nah, try harder.

>>562421380>the map stays stagnanti have seen the ai capture an enemy depot TWO whole times, and i have no idea how it happenedi've tried to cover friendly tank columns but it's impossible to keep them alive, and destroying enemy columns is also stupidly difficult due to ifvs and gun spaa acting ciws and missile spaa intercepting everything that fliesand by the time the ai advances on each other everyone is flying around with nukes anywayi don't believe they playtested this shit at allmaybe it would be better with fewer players on each team
>>562422503>enjoying an entire tech generation advantage over their opponentsBut enough about the Soviet anti-air.
What's the point of A-10 in the event if AA just automatically intercepts all your Mavericks.
>>562421421brother at least here you can see what you die to

I wonder how much less awful it would be if the patriots/s300s didn't spam missiles at every contact no matter how far out of range they are, so you don't have to hug the deck permanently or get instagibbed by the constant wave of missiles
how many furfags would there be at a war thunder convention?and would this convention be in the midwestern US or poland?

I just wanna play the US a little bit, can everyone of you queue up Russia and leave and repeat until *I* get a game and then we will play together.
>>562426035Why? Top tier is already super gay?
>>562426737Now that you reached it.
>>562426829KEEEEEEEEK
What language is this?
I got tired of the contacts on the map constantly vanishing an no longer reappearing until someone flies within 7km of the target, so I made this map to help plan out my approaches.
>>562427181thank you nephew

>get almost instant matches as the US>since 45 minutes ago you cannot get a match as the US anymoreYou quite literally can spot the moment when all of the Americans come online.
>>562429291>superior nuke carriersIn what way su24 is superior to f4e?
>>562427181>>562427557The replay menu doesn't have a scale on its map screen. The distance between the forward center soviet airfield and their forward center S300 radar is 7km. I figure that's vaguely "good enough" for a "you're probably safe from SACLOS sams if you are making some kind of effort to evade" range. A 7km radius circle has been centered on every location where SACLOS sams are present.
>>562429643>You quite literally can spot the moment when all of the Americans come online.Wait till you see the usernames and the pfps. It's ALL the Chinese.
>>562430025Do the purple ones only target high flying planes?
How many vehicles do you have?
>>562430594The purple ones are isolated radars sitting alone by themselves in the middle of nowhere. The red stars also contain the same kind of radar as the purple ones, but additionally contain the S300/patriot launchers themselves along with a variety of shorter ranged air defenses.Presumably the purple radars are datalinked with the red S300/patriot sites and help extend their range.

Don't have much in terms of Soviet and Chinese planes.
Does the F-4E radar simply not work at the altitudes you have to fly in this mode?Radar scope is just constantly green haze with no radar contacts. Even in ACM with shit right in front of me, it wont lock on.
>>562430025it need outlines

>>562431825NoIt starts to work at like 600m if you look upwardsUnless there are some miggers who start climbing in a dogfight that you can third party, the F-4E is just a 9L slinger
>19 people in total queing for the USSR>450 for the USAholy shit, would allowing SU-33 and 27 fix these times?
>>562432538Which is great because most of the A2G loadouts don't have AIM-9s, just Sparrows
fuck you.
>>562432820Isn't it only an issue for the higher BR game because they want their handheld F-14/15/16s?Queues with shitty F-4s don't seem long at all
>>562432953Enjoy your 2 hour wait for those 26 points
F-4J puts you into the lower tier matchmaking btw
>>562432820Out of 7 games I've played, Russia won 6. That's MiG-23s and Su-24s going up against F-14/15/16/18Flanker would shit on mutts even harder
Is there any way of dealing with the OSA missiles? once they fire they seem impossible to evade, the USSR players seem to be able to just fly straight into America's airspace off rip with no issue while I cant go into theirs without catching a 9K33M3!
>>562432332doesn't have to deal with APDS bullshit, because it's main APDS round is classified as APFSDS
>>562433254theyre slow
>>562433170>USSR
I was wondering why the fuck won't people flare missiles at all and then I realized that in every match there's literal lvl 10 noobies that just started playing a couple of hours ago
The event might be a bit unbalanced
>>562433216Mutts are losing because they just clash their gen 4s into the central furball while the soviets nuke the objectives to death.
>>562433216>mig23s and su24s are the reasonno retardit's the mig29 and 141 that are carrying russian teamsjust like in the old fox 1 meta
>pop booster>join battle>ends in two minutes>surely that was just bad luck>pop booster>join battle>ends in 30 secondsoh come on
>>562432515If I join late I can barely get any points before the top players bombs the base
>>562433171proof?
>>562433604Still often takes nearly 2 hours for games to finish and give you the points regardless of how long you queued to get in
>>562433604The point won't be awarded til the end of the gameI just got a few kills in a new game and left, but it'll be a while til I see those points

love how the mushroom clouds flicker constantly because of the DOGSHIT FUCKING CLOUDS THAT RETARDS KEEP SAYING LOOK GOOD DESPITE LOOKING LIKE SHIT AND BUGGING OUT EVERY SINGLE MATCH
>>562436149Yeah, I mainly use the APFSDS round, since it has the best overall damage and is easy to aimCarry some HEAT-FS for open-tops and very tough targets/weird enemy angles
>>562436725
The time-gated FOMO grind is making me play the game less than I would otherwise. I don't want to burn out before the event ends.
>>562436046the ai doesn't use the radar to track you or to guide the missile>>562436119>>562436476don't reply if you haven't played the event
>>562437021I was mocking him
>>562436085Irl iranian hawks were destroyed by ARMAT missiles from 75 km away at least.
>Join match>It's almost over>Leave it>Crewlock
>>562436934You burn out grinding 7700 points in a reasonably fun game mode more than grinding 30-50,000 points ever 2 days in the same old air and ground modes?
>>562437193>in the same old air and ground modes?In the same old air mode where trying to PvE for points will get you instantly shafted by fighters, as opposed to here where you can fucking nuke vehicle groups.
>>562437021I've been playing the event (It's easier playing as USA). You will never defeat a flakrad/osa with chaff, flares, or notching.
>>562437193No, I get burned out binging the game before the stars get unlocked.
>>562436621They will simply shut down matches with no possibile counter really. SPYDER AIO got a dual pulse missile and it immediately became a top 3 SAMA2G like Kinzhal and CM-400 will nuke the fuck out of SPAAA2A like R-37M and PL-17(?) will comfortably bite your ass from 100km away as they travel WAY above mach 6 and have dual/triple pulse on top of that
AIM-7Fs work on my machine. I don't understand what everyone is complaining about.
>>562437439>You will never defeat a flakrad/osa with chaff, flares, or notching.that's because it doesn't use the radar to track you
>>562437623>I don't understand what everyone is complaining about.They hug the ground and try to shoot multipathers with them.
>>562437730That's what everyone is trying to tell the burger!
>console bots still get away with spaa aim assist in 2026
>>562437623Muttshitters don't understand how SARH guidance works. It's easily the third best SARH in the game after R-27ER and AIM-7P, the range gap between it and the next longest reach SARH is enormous.
>>562437998I think the 24R's give 7F a run for its money, but if picking between two 24R's and four to six 7F's I'm taking the fucking sparrows.
>>562437623nig23 has mti so it can lock targets flying low, fagtom doesn't so it can't lock targets flying loweveryone in the event is constantly hugging the ground because going high means you die, so the aim7f is mostly useless in the eventhope this helps
>>562438267The 24R is great and sits right after the 7F/7M but it doesn't have a sustainer so it's easier to defeat kinematically through maneuvering at range. It's definitely better at close range within the NEZ though, that acceleration is very nice.
>>562438279>turn around>MTI drops its spaghetti>50% of the opponent's useful missiles have now been depleted.It's that easy.
I know gaijin refuses to give western tanks the right zoom because something something digital zoomdoes anyone know what the something something part is, because I can't for the life of me imagine what it could be
>nuclear thunder *entirely* boils down to which team has a player willing to afk around the TU-95/B-52 spawnpoint and spawnkill them all game
i shouldve listened to the m103 guy earlier
>>562439173truth nuke
is it practical to try shooting down planes with the anti radiation missiles? or does their search radar not ping the missiles often enough to reliably track them
>>562438738You just made some shit up in your head, how are we supposed to know what the fuck it is that you are talking about
>>562439398not unless you're desperate or on a dare. they dont even have proxy fuses
>>562439398noone flies close/long/high enough for them to ever connectspaa also intercept them and if the plane you shot at turns its ogre tooyou cant even hit osas most of the time because their radar only turns on once you are within 12km
>>562439525>dont even have proxy fusesalright, then i shouldn't try
>>562438279Multipathing should be removed. Everyone multipaths, it's all they know and they've become complacent. It's funny because it's easily coutered by flying high, but no one understands this because they're too afraid to leave the ground.

I think the reason no one plays Russia isn't because the US is "OP" but because no one plays Russia. If more people played Russia in general, more people would play Russia during the event. It's just common sense.
>>562443454doesn't make sense since you get free spaded vehicles with ace crewPeople play the US cause the B-52 is more iconic

I had the best match of my life since 2013.RU team in the event. EVERYONE was coordinating and playing the gamemode in teamplay. 3 people literally didn't have any problems doing patrol over the main airfield when escalation 3 was reached and the B52 spawned, letting the Su-24 rain nukes on the depots. Everyone called their targets and cheered on when they got destroyed, we even managed to set up a whole cover patrol for one of our Tu-95 (that got shot down by patriots) but still we intercepted the F-4S trying to intercept the BEAR.At the end we had literally 3 different shifts in patrolling the main airfield with people landing when bingo and other poeple already being ready at 10km altitude.The potential of this gamemode is HUGE.Some italian also talked about some illegal cheese with live maggots inside, apparently it's a delicacy in sardinia. If any of you were in that match GG
>>562442173>Adding another nation or aircraft of a different BR requires thorough testing and subsequent mission adjustments, as aircraft performance characteristics and weapons affect mission distances and timings.While this is true, it doesn't seem like they've considered this while making this game mode. Simply including more nations would automatically normalize the timings and distances.
>>562444029i want to use my air tree that i grinded out with tech tree vehicles to ground pound ground players but ww2 cas is BORING
>>562444063>Tu-95 (that got shot down by patriots)takes skill to get shot down by AA in that thing lol

>>562444159I dunno man the B-52 seems to have magic arsenal bird magic barrier while i keep seeing Tu-95 getting gibbed by Patriots at 10km altitude
>>562444159The patriot/S300 ignore the ecm. Your only hopes are to destroy it first before deploying the strategic bombers, or just pray that the S300/patriots are retarded and waste their time shooting at the wrong things.
>>562443858The masses don't give a shit about the meta, especially when they've just started playing the game. They see what they're most familiar with and start investing their time in that.
>>562444414The S300 seems more prone to getting distracted by random phantoms 9000 km away.

>>562444441I just periodically use countermeasures and get "missile evasion" popups every so often.
>>562444603Because they didn't shoot at you. Unless you destroyed them prior to spawning the 52, then you didn't do a thing to outplay the S300. You just got lucky. Lucky that the S300 was wasting its time shooting at the wrong targets, or lucky that somebody destroyed the S300 for you.

>>562445042You are factually wrong. The game was more like this back then. We had a fucking 1:1 map in which we took of from dover in england and went to bomb northern france.EVERYONE hated it. The players and the community vouched for these kind of things to go for the sake of the TDMYou know what? These ideas were too far ahead for their time back then, and now the same old ideas fit the game perfectly
>>562445229It’s not good but it has far better foundations to be an actual mode over air rb
>>562445272It makes up for it with its drastically better missile suite. I've gotten so many kills with those dogfight sparrows where I would have been shit out of luck with R60s.
>>562445272Yes but no. The MiG-23 has only the 1.5kt nuke. The Phantom can launch the 30kt nuke, so you should compare it to the Su-24.I'd take a phantom over a Su-24 all day
>>562445328Big maps are more tennable when we have supersonic planes with long range precision weapons
>>562445340The game needs short matches for zoomies and boomers who don't have much time. EC light doesnt work for it. Just look at the niggers whining ITT when they lose their closest airfield have to fly for a bit.
>>562445229retard-kun, the gamemode isn't in a vacuum. You need to compare it to ARB.And it's already miles better.
>>562445710Air Arcade -> Dopamine zoomiesAir Realistic -> No life gamersAir Sim -> Autistics, Chink cheaters & Larpersfine by me
CCRP is so fucking buggy
>tranime>worst take you'll ever readwhy is this always the case?
>anton covers my fucking screen with this every time I select a target point now because WT players can't understand CCRP>>562445486>>562445629I mean yes it's better if you get into a fight, but usually you just want to lob the payload and rearm ASAP once you get nukes instead of looking for fightsif you're going for bases with 30kts (or your front bases got knocked out) top speed starts becoming more important than acceleration since you have 50+km to cover, su-24 imo still has a slight edge over the phantom for long range strikes but definitely the phanotm is better if you're doing short range stuff with 30kts

>>562448780no, I live in a midwest cornfield but nice try though
Playing the low-top USA planes is so boring. Low-top soviet jets are fun.Too bad the top USA lobbies don't exist.
>>562448104Ok i'll be genuine since it seems your post is genuine and you are no trolling.You got hit by a radar missle, probably a BUK.To avoid this, for now, the easier way is to multipath, it being flying lower than 60-50m.Also you have only your ALT showing on your left. It sees your altitude from the sea level, not the actual ground.Go in your options and search for "alti" and set up like picrel.RALT (Radar altitude) will give you the actual altitude from the ground, not from sea level.The second option will color the RALT red when you are under 60m. So basically, if you are in the reed, you are multipathing
>>562448918>>5624485061 dollar
>>562448295>>562448553>>562448659>>562448936I was being facetious because the BUK fires at me through a fucking mountain without any radar contact
>>562449280https://youtu.be/z-q29hbEP04
>>562443617>>562443454If this were true, then we'd see similar matchmaking queue disparity for low tier matchmaking. We don't see that, so we know that it's not USA being more popular or the B-52 being more iconic. The difference is that USA gets the more desirable spread of Gen4s for the top tier matchmaking.

>>562442173Why does he change his font size with every line?
>>562449357Oh okay. Well in this case, in the event, HAWK and BUK have their maddog enabled. They just get a glimpse of you and launch following the IOG without a radar lock, "hoping" the missle (being a ARH) acquires you itself and shots you downNothing special since maddog missles are way easier to defeat
>>562449742so many brain dead burgers that dont want the bear
>mig23 begins production 1969>f14 begins production 1969>according to pidors these are not peer aircraftit really makes you think!
>>562450228The event has been canceled. We will now play D-Day where you use basic bitch m4's vs tigers.
the tiny arkaden maps that gaijin didn't use an irl base heightmap to start from are really funny because you can see exactly how they fucked up the erosion parameterslike even the default world machine erosion usually isn't quite this bad with axis-aligned patterns unless you feed it absolute slop or really fuck things up, this is some randomly clicking around in wilbur looking shit lmao

Have they fucked with the russian radars or something? I can't lock anything, if I can even detect them with either the mig25 or the mig23.
>>562450930all the radars in the nuke mode suck fat cock and will refuse to lock more often than not unless the target is above you
You may not like it, but the kh-25ml is the best missile for shooting down the b52.
>>562451058I'm been getting utterly fucked by phantoms just head on me and hitting me with missiles I can't dodge at all.I'm not even seeing them on radar.
Air gods we won
soviet air fags doko. i need my b52 star
>>562448506I'm playing both sides with the provided planes and it's incredible how much easier it is as USSR. That might be more due to the AAA than planes though. BUKs and OSAs are cracked, while the Rolands and Hawks aren't nearly as good.
>>562450930this is my first time playing air rb with radars and missiles so im sure im doing something wrong but i get a lock maybe one in five times i hit the actual lock buttonpeople say the meta is to get two air to air kills then just do rolling nukes on depots but i struggle to get even one
>>562450350There were no Tigers on D-Day. Also still no DD tanks in the game after 12 years of ground forces

how the fuck is ash river still in the fucking gamethey removed half the map by not letting you climb hills and they still drop you in it in late coldwar shit
>>562447057pretty neat, didn't know you got SL/RP for shooting those>>562448104I tried getting that SAM site 10 fucking times in an F-111F, it's borderline impossible as the Buk tracks through the mountain and the Shilka murders you should you ever get in strafing range. Best non nuclear bet is CCRP bomb tossing over the hill after a low approach over the sea, but better to just nuke it.

If I'm reading this correctly, if I pop one of these and play a full Nuclear shimabagoo match will it keep consuming each "battle" off this booster? Say it lasts an hour and some change, will it give me 30% RP boost for that entire game?Or are the devs so incompetent even using it for 2 hours will only net me the 30% boost for the first 30 minutes?
>>562455182why? Russia just lost an Su-34 and an Su-30SM, their junk is no better than muttshitChina is the only one with no losses and an extensive combat record

Slinging low yield nukes in the middle of a blob of enemy jets shouldn't be this fun.
which one of you...>>>/pol/532324989
Some thoughts to improve the nuclear mode:>Delete the central forward airfield and replace it with a central rear airfieldThis deletes the retard "everybody zoomzoom mid and furball" effect. It will split the team between north and south and create multiple fights rather than one big retard brawl in the middle of the map.>move all the airfields back a few dozen kilometers to spread things outfurther breaks up the retard furball and create conditions more conducive to 1v1 duels>also pull back the air defensescreates more space for planes to fight without being able to spend 2 seconds falling back to their AA umbrella>populate the no-man's land between the air defenses with a larger mass of tanks and IFVs that will assault the depots/air defenses if permittedGives something for ground attackers to do. By tipping the scales of the ground war, ground attackers can help push the frontline forward.>reduce SPAA effectiveness at intercepting munitionsthey're too good at it>personal vehicles cost some amount of spawn pointsSolves the problem of the mode being "ignore the objectives, just furball until you get the big nigger nuke". To afford the bignigger you'll need to either be good at fighting with the welfare planes, or be good enough with your techtree planes to maintain a positive K:D and encourage you to RTB to resupply rather than just lawn dart after your kills.
>>562463421>doesn't know nu/wtg/ is 1/3 /pol/ tourists, 1/3 r*ddit + d*scuck circlejerk tourists and 2/3rds third worlders
I feel like you aren't rewarded enough for destroying buk/hawk or S300/patriot emplacements enough considering how fucking long that it takes to fly back there and drop.

>>562464715The ONLY thing that has changed is that the F-14 now gets matched up vs other gen4s. Nothing has changed about the mig-23's radar beyond perhaps some noobs learning how to map their radar keybindings.

>chinks ruining eu servers>switch to na>chinks ruining na servers
i've shot down 5 big nuke bombers with the mig25, 3 managed to drop, and i think the plane kind of blows for the event
>>562465315I spawned mine after finally top scoring for once since the event started, made sure to check the map to confirm the horde was busy down in the center and still managed to die to a F-4S paypig who probably started playing when spring break started and was loitering the spawn all match.
>>562464832You can claim that but it's just not true. Mig-23's are now dominating the event because they can now lock at low altitude while F-4's are lucky if they can lock something that isn't their own allies below 2000m
>>562465628I think you're just bad at the game dude
>>562465814I think you're retarded and don't play the game.
>>562466027I'm sure you know more than the devs and everyone else that plays thisPost stats + hand btw
the reason miggers are doing good is because mutt teams are full of redditors and children who are soiling themselves over a plane they first learned about when the event was announced, it's that simple

You're not supposed to point that out please delete your post and let me retry
>shitpostingI accept your concession
Wait shit that sounded better in my head let me try again
>>562463449>"everybody zoomzoom mid and furball"Being fast paced combat with fast spawns is what makes it good, even side climbing is fast on it, we don't need another air mode that is a 10 min drag to get to the middle of the map. There's already plenty of game modes for that shit.>move all the airfields back a few dozen kilometers to spread things outAgain, no, a better solution for 1v1 is to give airspawns to everyone and spread people LATERALLY, so everyone gets to duel someone, don't turn this into another alt tab simulator.As for the rest, I don't care, just don't make this another WT korean mmo grindy chore.>>562465628Their radars are better vs ground clutter in those multipath fights, but you don't need to headon like that. Personally I just queue with the F4S, sideclimb to 3-4km initially (~8km later on if required), and hmd the sparrows at ppl flying lower in their m23s. Been pretty succesful at maintaing a good K/D this way (4+).
how to mig25pd when there are 0 high altitude targets in existencedo I just try to sneak up on niggas with the IRs
war thunder is a horror game
>>562469946I only see it used to camp bomber spawns.
>>562469946I think that there's just too much of a clusterfuck going on for it to reliably target anything with its radar. Other planes cope by either having true PD radar or by being close enough to use ACM mode, neither of which the Mig25 can do.
yeah i guess i'll finish the last 400 points for this US token tomorrow when ACTUAL pidors are online and queuing their handheld 1980s planes
Has anyone tried bombing the depots with napalm yet?
>>562470464Just use your handheld F-4J. Instant queues.
>>562437998>third best after R-27ER and AIM-7PAre you retarded?The best is obviously the R-27ERThen comes the R-27RAnd after that the R-24RAnd then come all the easily outrolled sparrows
>>562469946you can try to stay low and use the mti to lock the radar missile and pray it hits, go fast in a straight like and pray you don't get hit while watching you don't rip your wingsi wish we could manually switch to mti, but the way it is it's pretty useless
>>562470638but i want to spade the 14b while i work on my 18e?
>>562470464You have no idea how glad and thankful to God I am for not being youAlso boosts my confidence in my own skill in the game
>>562470093having some success climbing up over the middle of the map to the amount needed to not overspeed on full throttle then lobbing the TDs at people leaving their base, but after those two are gone the R-60s are pretty bad and the normal R-40s are pretty much useless unless you luck into a bomber spawningit's not TERRIBLE since you get 2 free kills per spawn, but definitely not that great either
so what is this testing? small nukes taking out groups of vehicles in air battles?
>>562445112Are you impoverished or retarded?Experts make a huge differenceI expert every single vehicle I ever play because of how big the gap is
do you get credit for the full bomb payload on a damaged base or only for the hp it had remaining
>>562471049anti radiation missiles, which no one uses because they're borderline useless and get immediately intercepted
>>562470639Russoids will never understand this. the Sparrows are shit, they are the worst least useable trash in this game. Literally anything is better than a Sparrow.This event allowed me to use R-24R and it's immediately, obviously better than Aim-7M.
>>562471049unfortunately they're probably going to keep the nukes for the main iteration of this modewhich is so fucking stupid it hurts even keeping the big nuke is stupid, because at is right now there's no reason to ever clear the patriot/s300 installations unless your bomber spawn is getting camped and you need to hit the main base with smaller yield nukessame issue would happen in the 'main' mode
>>562471049>so what is this testing?A new gamemode to replace ARB garbage.
>>562471049anti radiation missiles and ECM
>>562471161i like using them. the only bad thing about them is the AI spaa magically tracking you without radar
if this is how nuclear war would be like in real life, then what's the problem? it doesn't seem so bad
>>562472081>if this is how nuclear war would beit's not lol
>none of the planes will have ECM I mean at 8.7 you don't see anything other than really shitty AAMs but still, and I doubt said ECM would work against the 35th century AA batteries the russians have on ground battles
>not mentioning the geopard iron dome shooting down missiles
>>562472081Tactical nukes aren't so bad, true, but throwing them sets a bad precedent and everyone is deathly afraid of the slippery slope because in real life it doesn't end with a single nuke to an airfield, it ends in massed countervalue strikes between all nuclear countries and a couple of non-nuclear ones, since if you're at it might also throw in chemical and biological warfare so whatever survives the blanket of nuclear fire gets got by flesh melting pathogens or invisible clouds of nerve gas freely floating in the air before nuclear fallout or long-term climate changes become an issue.
Why can we manually control KH-23s/Bullpups from the missile camera again? Are we really back to the Fj4 days?
Ground LARP mode when
>>562471197Spoken like someone who never shoots at BVR ranges. Even if it were worse, I'd take six sparrows over two 24Rs every day of the week. Especially when backed by proper PD radar instead of memeTI
>>562472869Speaking of SPAA - Shilkas might be the only non-fucked AA in the event. I think I died more to BMPs snapshotting me as I fly past than Shilkas.
holy SHIT
>do the USSR star in 1/4 the time of the US star because my team is conspicuously able to dumpster the enemy team in Mig-23s and stop them from snowballing
>>562473447russia suffers
>>562473552using their Mig-23's*
So now that those bombers have ECM, what planes already in game should have it as well?
>>562473656Flankers
>10 piece bucket combo at kfcvehicles for this feel?
>>562473656The Intruder the F-18, with the Growler variant, the F-4 Phantom, the F-16, the Mig 23? Idk you just have to open up War game red dragon and sort by SEAD aircraft
>>562473432>shooting at BVR ranges>in AI SAM SPAM thundershut up dipshit
>>562461839A-10 has loads of countermeasures and mavericks for cas, a-7 has arm missiles, but yeah for nuke and air combat you have to go with the phantom.
>mavericksintercepted by every SPAA within 10km
huh?
Do I paypiggie the last 5 levels of the battle pass?
>>5624699462 R-40 tds and 4 r-60ms are a menace. You could probably outclimb the reach of the patriot missiles and shootdown anyboody trying to intercept the tu-95, but i haven't tried it myself.
>>562473432behold the krokodil-addled mind of the pidor, anons, and take heed to not fall down his path
>>562474245*for the vehicle
>>562474168It's megatonnes or kilotonnes instead of tonnes. so that's probably a 500kg bomb or something.
>>562473552>a plane with PD radar and r-24Rs beats planes without PD radar and shitrrowswhoa
what a mog
how's the Mig-25 now that there are separate queues?
BMP 2 just fucking destroyed my F-18 whilst I was going 1.3km/h with its cannons.
>>562475992no shit since you were slower than a person walking
>>562475992>1.3km/hi think i walk faster than that
>>562475992why were you coasting along the ground?
a generational fumble from my part I meant 1300kph
How do I get good at GRB?
multipath removed when?
>>562476337get a 1440p monitor
SSAA 1.5x (or 2x) + No AA is the objectively superior way to play WT
Is the 18C radar this shit or am i just sucking long dick with it, I literally can't fucking find anything on it or get a lock when I literally have the fucking on my sights
>>562475992I laughed so hard at this fuck you
>>562477068The F/A-18C's radar? ENTIRELY on you mate. Are you sure that you didn't flail around and put it into one of the ground attack modes?
I'm sneak nuking bases by flying around the mountains and water. Enemy never seems to notice until its too late.
>>562477442So i have it on TWS and and the only thing I see on these are rockets being fired by the MLRS most of the time, and i'm fidgeting with the Radar angle to match the enemy direction, idk if the look down on this is extremely dookie but I can't get locks and when I do they aren't accurate at all.
im new to this modern mumbo jumbo. whats the correct way to use radar missiles? i have been setting it to use IR tracking to get the green square onto an enemy and then i switch back to radar mode to be able to turn the seekers on and fire the missile
>>562477881Well you have the scale set to 37km. That's relatively close. At top tier some people start firing off shots around or before then.
>>562478069It would help if you could be more specific than that.
>swarms of F-14/15/16/18/F111 can't stand against the MiG 29 and the lack luster Yak141.Kek.
>>562478096Well I think this is plenty of range for the Event.I could bump it up to 74km
>>562478249>>562477881Another thing is that you have the thing set to "Headon on mode", as shown by the "HDN". This is tuned to be better at detecting enemies that are approaching you directly, but it sucks balls at detecting enemies that are flying away and isn't all around easier to notch if enemies are flying left or right relative to your field of view. Try changing radar modes to plain TWS. TWS HDN would be more useful for trying to get eyes on someone approaching you from 100km away.
>>562421380The AA does not respawn, what the fuck are you talking about?
>>562478185how do i lock on to a target at long range with radar missiles?
>>562478648By "more specific" I meant "Which plane and which missile?"
>>562478439>>562478249>>562477881Also, TWS mode needs to complete a scanning cycle before it can render anything. The F18's radar scan rate is a bit on the slow side, so that can make it feel bad. You can fix this by changing the scan pattern to scan a smaller chunk of the sky so that each scan cycle takes less time. That's what you should be doing when you have a good idea of roughly where the enemy is. The wide scan pattern should generally be reserved for when you don't know where enemies are and you're casting a wide net to search. You tighten the scan when preparing to acquire a target lock.The Su-27 is a plane with a shit radar. Largely because it both scans slowly AND it doesn't have the option to change its scan pattern.
>>562478540S-300/Patriot never respawn. The BUK/HAWK respawn after like 40 minutes, it's a really long time but a nasty shock when it does. The OSA, Rolands, Shilkas, and Gepards around the depots respawn when the depots respawn (every minute or two, it's fast) and the ones in the convoy respawn as the convoys do.I wish the depots wouldn't respawn.
>>562478702the free mig-23 and su-24 that you start with for the event
>>562479016I see, well I started getting a lot more locks but I think i'm just shooting my Sparrows on the wrong people and or they're too far away/in a shitty position, and I cant really dodge R27s so most of it still on me, if not all of it.
>>562474972don't tell Gaijin, but the lower BR bracket is supposed to be 10.3-11.7, but it's actually 10.3-12.0 and you can bring your F-4S/J
>>562479437>the lower BR bracket is supposed to be 10.3-11.7, but it's actually 10.3-12.why so much retarded bullshit like this?they can't even use battle ratings to balance these events either, they have to ban half a dozen aircraft on each side because it turns out the BRs are bogus
AAAAAAAAAAAAAH
>>562479437F-4J is the only saving grace for the US team, it can actually compete with the MiG-23s radar in the sense that I can actually lock on to stuff
>>562479427A lot of people seethe real hard about the 27ERs since they are legitimately very powerful missiles, but the Achilles heel of the Mig-29 and the Yak-141 is that they only carry fucking two of them. You're going to have a bad time if you go head to head vs them and just go pure offense while only taking shots that you expect to hit. What royally screws over those particular russian planes is if the opponent is good at being defensive. One thing that you can do is shoot first. Take a shot at longer ranges like 25-30km. They'll almost certainly dodge it, but you're forcing them to respect the missile. They can't afford to pressure you in the same way since that would burn up 50% of their fox1s.If they do launch on you, you have two options. One you can try to notch/multipath the missile. The other is you can try to lock their missile and use a 7P to shoot down their 27ER. Whatever you do, they're fucking seething if you defeat the missile since again one single 27ER represents 50% of their fox1s
>join already started game>see some dude with 27 killswhy do these not give me the "peacekeeper" award? im almost at 20 i want more
Fucking gayjin fix the fucking matchmaking I have been waiting 15 minutes for US game in the higher BR bracket, why can't these rusnigs do anything right
>>562480016Queue times are ~20 seconds in the lower BR bracket.
Whats more likely to come first? the F35 A or the 22?
this mode should just replace ARB, thanks
>>562480247f-22 early with no HMD or stealthpodsthen f-35 then f-22 late with scorpion HMD and stealthpods
>>562480247F-22, it entered service in 2004 or something, 10 years ahead of F-35 and most of russian top tier air
>>562479849I see, thanks Again, I'll have to practice a lot more on dodging these russian missiles since I always fucking fumble or do stupid shit to dodge them if i'm not flying 10ft above the ground.
>>562480381Yup, force the OSAs and Rolands to have their radars on and stop to fire. Make the depots not respawn, add AI planes and ships and it would immediately be a massive upgrade over ARB. And with depots not respawning you can have AI ground units capture points and put a 30 minute timer on it instead of 90.

>>562480016>please oh please let me club with my F15 wahh wahh
great pathfinding anton
>>562479124turning off depot respawns would do a lot to improve the gameflow of actually working back towards the main baseall they'd need to do would be to put more depots between the mid-range and long-range sam sites, and maybe more between the long-range and main base
>>562480572You'll get it with practice. IMO, at high tier, the skill expression starts shifting away from who's good at attacking and starts shifting towards those who are good at defending. The 27ER is very hard to defend against when it's backed up by some of the better russian radars like the Yak-141's or the Su-30's since its datalink lets them reacquire the lock after launch. So, unlike a fox3 like an R-77 or AIM-120, you don't need to just notch the missile. You need to keep notching it until it can no longer reasonably reacquire and hit you.A tip for multipathing: turn on the setting to display radar altimeter in your UI, and set it to turn red at 50m. The multipathing effect starts at 60m, but it doesn't become noteworthy until around 50m. Get too close to the ground and you defeat the purpose too. You can think of multipathing as the missile being bamboozled by the reflection of your plane on the ground, perceiving you as one "big" target, and aiming at the wrong center of mass. Above 60m and the effect doesn't happen. Above 50m and the effect is too weak and it will probably still hit you. Too low and you're too close to your illusory doppelganger and the missile hits you. The sweet spot is honestly somewhere around ~30-50m. Lower than that and you'll probably get caught in the proxy fuse or by the blast when the missile hits the ground. This is why the multipathing nerf awhile back was so substantial. Back when multipathing started at 100m, you basically had to thread the needle of ~30-90m. But now it's more like 30-50. It's a much more narrow band since the lowest altitudes are fucked over by the range where you're too close to the ground and the range where trees get in the way.
>>562383425You get what you deserve for seal clubbing. Regular wait is 30 seconds.
