so, I'm at 143 right now. So I'm guessing that this will go on forever. I'm going to see how far I can go.I already got two premium Rank III vehicles. A Swedish Sherman and a French P47. They go great in the 3.7 lineups for those countries too. I just buy premium vehicles and universal backups. I guess I'll but that Chinese H-81A-2, Rank II vehicle, next. I'm not one for boats.I don't see what the big problem is with doing the Battle Pass. I'm going to sell the stupid Battle Pass vehicles later on.

Hello boyos, it's your footy manager here.The footy dates are not out yet, but we are allowed to gather proof of interest already so Ill be doing that now.If you want to see the team play, hit me with those (you)'s. Thread needs to show interest so we are allowed to participate. Give me at least like 6, the more the better. You know the drill by now.Also, NOW is your chance to let your player suggestions to be heard, let me know and Ill add them to the poll later.

"The Verdict: To be truly competitive you need to drop about $190 - $200 USD.You can technically do it for $0, but you will be playing at a statistical disadvantage (slower reload, worse G-tolerance, no camouflage) for thousands of matches before you catch up to the guy who paid."

Is there a hard limit distance as to when it is too late to notch Fox-3s at high altitude? They will never lose lock past a certain point.
>>563463798>hard limitthere isnt one>they will never lose lock past a certain pointthats not true and this video does a very good job explaining it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGTDjbj2m8I
>>563463798Fox 3s disable their doppler filter when they detect that their target is about to enter the doppler notch. They once again become vulnerable to chaff and ground clutter once the filter is disabled. That's why the missile keeps tracking you once you're in the notch at high altitude. It's tracking you without the filter and there's no ground clutter to bail you out. That's why you need to chaff while notching.

When is the next event vehicle? I'm running low on GJN, it also better be air because I SUCK at ground
>>563468446like two days tops
>>563450450FOOTY!
>>563439976Nuclear Option is what Gaijin ripped off, DCS is actual dogshit and the actual flight and radar modeling is worse than War Thunder despite what sim boomers and marketers will tell you.NO is way more fun than Nuclear Thunder imo just because there's way more stuff to do, but I can see why some are apprehensive about it due to the fictional plane designs.
>>563470807The main gripe about nuclear thunder was the strong AA. That's what filtered shitters,NO AA is even more cracked, shitters would hate it too, fictional planes aside

dead
not only does ARB suck compared to the new game mode, somehow GRB sucks just as much as well
>>563476351That reminds me of how a friend of mine sent me some screenshots of him strafing ground targets with a wyvern for thunderer awards while enemies were "safely" 15km away. I found it funny because I had been grinding toptier and 15km is practically knife fight range and I need to be prepared to defend against spamraams.
>>563472553>NO AA is even more cracked, shitters would hate it too, fictional planes asideI haven't played it yet. Don't the players have more appropriate tools to fight back against the AA in NO? I watched some video about it and in it the players overwhelmed the air defenses of some fancy destroy by spamming like a hundred fucking smart bombs at the thing. That's a pretty sharp contrast compared to the spaags in nuclear thunder grossly outclassing damn near all of our air to ground munitions with extreme interception rates. There were some exceptions like the AGM130 and Kh-59 that they weirdly sucked at intercepting, or being cheeky with the nukes and dumb bombs that they'd spend zero effort attempting to intercept, but the biggest problem as a whole was simply that our weapons in nuclear thunder were inadequate for penetrating defenses with that kind of an interception success rate.As for AA shooting down planes, my only concern were things like tidewater point where the AA could strike even though a mountain should have been obscuring radar coverage. There were a couple of janky spots on the map but tidewater was the big one. The saclos spaags shouldn't have been able to move and shoot, but as a whole I didn't have that much of a problem with them being very deadly to any plane that didn't respect their sphere of influence.
FUN event, can't wait to obtain the Bone, B2, T-22m, and Tu-160, H-6. and V-bombers through a similar event in the future :)

>>563485636b-2 would just be unfair if implemented the way it is IRL. supposedly substantially stealthier than the f-22 despite being so huge
Improvements that I'd like to see with "nuclear thunder" if/when it returns>fix the radar issues that permitted SPAA to track targets through mountains. Tidewater was the most notorious example.>regarding the fog of war, the last known positions of enemies should remain marked on the map until they are destroyed.>reduce the effectiveness of SPAA when it comes to intercepting munitions>AI planes should make an appearance. Recon and bomber flights and such.>the conflict should utilize more of the map. Nuclear thunder was like an air RB line of targets and 90% of the map was unused.
>>563487253>>regarding the fog of war, the last known positions of enemies should remain marked on the map until they are destroyed.Eh IDK about that one, feels like it would make nuke tossing a little too easy.>>AI planes should make an appearance. Recon ... flights and suchsounds like a more organic solution to this with more player agency.

>>563501661Let me preface one thing: it's dogshit against any real fighter. That being said, among the big three swing-wing interdictors (F-111F, Tornado, Su-24M), the F-111F is by far the best (not because it's good but because the others are even more abysmally bad) and is a massive improvement over the A. Compared to them, it's really REALLY fucking fast, has okay-ish acceleration and is not completely irredeemable in a rate. Key words: compared to them.

>>563505987Who fucking cares, it still kills shit just fine, it's not like it has 3 7.7 MGs or something. Flight performance is far more important, what use is a slightly better gun if you're a brick who can only pull AoA?
gunners don't work with ccip. they all point at your bomb target instead of letting you control the gunners
>>563506101why are you acting like the t-2 fm is bad? yes its worse than the 19 in a pure 1v1 but thats just not what arb is
>>5635063691v1 is the only scenario that matters when comparing planes, it's where the plane matters more than the pilot. You can make almost anything work in a 16v16 clusterfuck by adjusting your playstyle and properly positioning yourself, but no amount of skill will make your plane rate better or generate more energy.
