>plane crashes into me with 500 pound bombs

What is the counter play to this? What do I as a player do to prevent this? Hiding doesn't work. Running away doesn't work. Staying still doesn't work. How do I outskill this? What is the play?

Why does the MIG21 Bison get R-73s when no other plane at that br gets anything close? where's other 12.3s with AIM-9Ms?

>>532251602
Because at 12.3 it's a beyond dogshit airframe and it only gets two.

>>532251469
drive forward, make him overshoot

>>532251816
How does that work when he just crashes right into you with a bomb?

>>532251682
>beyond dogshit airframe
lol, no

let me ban more maps

>>532252009
It's just "okay" at 11.0, I'd much rather be in the F-5E, the F-4F or even one of the F-5As (which sit at a lower BR btw).

>>532251469
There is none, you can only slightly increase your chances of survival, like >>532252009 says.
Or try to not be a traget, by staying still behind some cover, CASnigs are animals that bomb the first moving thing they see - but it he was coming to revenge bomb you, then tough luck, nothing you can do.

catch my vikhr…

>>532252320
It can keep up with an F-20A at the same BR in a turnfight with vastly better missiles, i'd say that's pretty good.

>>532252936
It can't unless the F-20A is a hopeless shitter (most of which, to be fair, are).

>>532251469
>What is the play?
someone post the video of bailing out right before a plane bombs you

>>532251469
If you notice it's happening you can try shooting them down with your commander MG. most of the time the bombs won't land near you. Sometimes, you just can't my man. The sooner you learn to just let it go, say "ah damn, that's lame. better luck next time", or "lol faggot had to kamikaze me with his shit ass plane to kill me" the sooner you'll actually have fun in this abysmal dogshit ass game

>>532252806

>>532253467

gun cas on fighters is such a goated mechanic, i love that a yak 9 can take out the engine and breach on 12 tanks before having to go back to the airfield

>plane takes an absurd amount of rounds
>check stat card

Been checking stat cards after every kill and every death and it sure is making my tracks spin.

sales when?

>>532251469
why would there be counterplay to airplanes in an airplane game? why would tanks be able to counter airplanes in any game at all?
if you get into a tank you're a target because that's what tanks are

>>532257196
because its a game

Im going to play jew tree so I can spam oy vey in the chat

Had a bushed up faggot sneak up right behind me. I don't mean he got a nice flank and sniped me across map. I mean right fucking behind me almost touching. Sure would be nice to be able to hear the tank right fucking behind me. I don't need to hear the two SPAA revving in my spawn. I don't need to hear the dog fight in the sky. I don't need to hear the arty on B. I don't need to hear the two tangs slinging shots at eachother on the other side of the river. What I need to fucking here is the tank full sending right behind me.
This is fucking game breaking and apparently everyone is just ok with engines """""""""""""randomly""""""" making no sound.

>>532257352
the parts of war thunder that mimic reality are fun
the parts of war thunder that are gamified are trash

if you don't want to get killed by aircraft your option is to get into an aircraft and kill the enemy aircraft before they kill you

if you don't like that fuck off to cookie clicker and stay there

>>532257485
im not ok with it
thats why i play one battle a week and if it goes good i play 2
i've never played 2 in 9 months of doing this

>>532257779
So you would prefer to not be able to repair tanks? You would prefer to have your crew bail out after the first round pens? You would prefer your barrel gets damaged if you touch a rock with it? If you want realism war thunder isn't your game because there is nothing realistic about it.

>>532263053
i really dont get these types of posts
this game has like 30 variables when calculating damage, in 99% of the cases its simply a bad shot
this kind of input is useless without a replay

timed fuse bombs not skipping off the ground is the biggest airshart handholding below guided munitions BRs

I have 10 special task medals, do I pick between the chaika or the british coastal? I have the gay archer so I can make a lineup with that.

>>532260995
does this suppose to just launch itself to any radar contract?

>>532271921
radars have identifiable characteristics. in a real-world SEAD operation you'd use them to suppress and destroy the radar of an enemy SAM while other aircraft hit the missile batteries and whatever the SAMs are supposed to be protecting.

doesn't have to be a radar site but it would be atypical to deploy HARMs against some asshole with a walkie talkie...

it's the 2nd day of my yearly install and I'm already seething, I don't know how you guys do this for tens of thousands of matches

>>532273447
we mostly aren't bad

>>532273447
i just watch something to the side
when I die or lose I dont even notice

>>532271882
Chaika is fun and a decent collection vehicle
Cuckstal butt is completely crew weak, even weaker than the techtree boats with no survivability. If you somehow want to grind british coastal it's placed well in the tree to "skip" the atrocious tier 1 but I don't see a reason to grind millions of SP into a pointless tree.
I have the Spey for coastal tasks for years and have only just broken through tier 3

>>532273447
that's the secret, I'm always seething

>>532273447
Just keep it installed and come back to it every now and then when you feel like playing something.

Reminder not to login after midnight UTC and before the new season goes live if you're done with the current one, it's half a lever worth by the end of it.

The point is that you should not give a fuck.

>>532278450
But i do, I'm done with frog bombers and want a task cow with an SL multiplier on the slot, i also want the Z47 to go with Z43 and Z46 for quick score grinding since i've already got the other Rank III shop vehicles and a decal mystery box as well.

>>532280365
Why are you playing if you don't find the game fun?

>>532273447
I just do the bare minimum once every three days to get the maximum squadron RP and not let my squadronmates down. It's like 2-3 battles, rarely 4.

Owari da with the jap props.

the way this game would improve if it didn't have impenetrable russian heavy tanks...

>>532285720
simply penetrate their armor, shitta

>>532285720

3.3ish sec autoloaded nukes on a fast chassis

>>532288539
or maybe you should stop crying and learn to aim, so this situation won't repeat again
(you can also don't do anything and have the same reaction a week from now)

>>532288358
Play it like a light tank. Flank, use that super fast reload rate to pop people with its APCBC unlock.

>>532288751
>(you can also don't do anything and have the same reaction a week from now)
I will indeed continue to complain about the bad and nonsensical problems this game has.

You truly have a low IQ world view.
>why would you want to try and fix things lol

>>532289228
Recognizing the institutional barriers and playing within them is pure european drive however. You don't have to wait for the system to improve, before you start yourself.

>>532289963
I am not defending it, but critising your attitude.

>Ozzy kicked the bucket
what the fuck, vftf?

>>532290178
You are defending it by acting like having to learn extreme edge cases is worth anyone's time.

>>532290337
ozelot?

>>532290349
>IS-2 44's frontal plate can sometimes stop even higher pen rounds, better be careful next time.
Took about 5s

>>532290796
So now you're aware of every edge case? Every part of every tank that for no discernible reason acts completely differently than a single pixel to the left or right?

>>532290337
clearly something coked up fast

>>532291034
The overall "rule" would be: thick plates at high angles can sometimes nonpen, be careful. This case also intersects with: driver ports/hatches are volumterically inconsistent, be careful.
So you don't learn every edge case, but can intuit for future use when you see a similar armor layout - if you stumble upon another weird one, just add it to memory after the fact.

>>532300078
flanking only works if the enemy is not aware of you, but i wouldnt expect a top teir sissy like you to know

I'm enjoying the Vickers mk11 way more than the Vextra

That's because you're fucking weirdo.

>>532301208
Bocchi the fat

image of the bong mustang for the war bond devblog doesn't have its ingame camo.
ingame one has a red prop spinner, desaturated camo, and none of the weathering detail
is it a market skin, or are gaijin going to update the textures on some of the old planes in future?

>teammate plastered with russian flags

>>532301197
>flanking only works if the enemy is not aware of you, but i wouldnt expect a top teir sissy like you to know
i do it all the time in 6.7; make the enemy panic and bounce a shell, then drive around and hit the side
is it really that hard? i've done it in casemates too

I didn't ask

>>532288092
They have great frontal armor, but Russia is almost completely reliant on their own CAS + keeping other planes out of the sky with the Pantsir. Their top tier dart is serviceable and is comparable to other shells that aren't from US/Germany.
>Long tech tree with filler
Germany and America also have this problem, it's not a Russia problem.

Shoot the upper part of the lower glacis, otherwise the transmission will eat the round. Rounds are stored in the back of the turret and the middle of the chassis. Shoot right under the bolt river things on the skirts

Poland.

why do american planes have so many guns and so much ammo, and why don't soviet planes have just as much
the ussr built a gorillion t-34s, so it's clear they can afford to add more machine guns

>>532308202
saaaaaaaaaaaar

No, I will not play on Carpathians at 12.0

Soviet players should all be given 10 uses of artillery every 5 minutes for added realism

>>532308482
Because Soviets insisted on putting all their guns around the engine to make it easier to aim, even though there's very little space

No, I will not play GRB above rank 6

do the needful sa'ar

>>532291461
Also anything that has a weapon mounted in like the panther turret face. Or if it has glass in it like a cupola. Or if it has any round edges like a gun port. Or the tracks since it counts the entire width as armor. Or the barrels since those swat away rounds like a baseball bat. Or fuel tanks since they absorb all filler. Or... wait... maybe this game is bad?!

>>532304916
Marne is pretty fun too, even after they bumped it up

is british AA actually GOATed? how did some guy manage to get 9 ground kills with them?

>>532313802
ZA-35 is utterly fantastic at ground kills, it's like a better VBC PT2 at a much lower BR. Falcon is similarly good as a tank destroyer. Everything else is kinda bad except the soviet shit.

china rises. the west lies defeated.

>>532316330
>china rises

>>532251469
>>532257196
if gaijin stopped being fucking gay for once, they could nerf AA and let us spawn fighters as soon as the match starts for free, and then we could actually reasonably counter CAS

>25kg bombs

>>532319482
Are any of them worth it?

Load CV90105 with full smoke rounds.

Follow nearest teammate with chink flag decal.

Shoot him every 15 seconds.

Any downside to this meta build?

>>532320664
>twin engine heavy fighters
you want to instantly and completely destroy the entire purpose and make CAS an even bigger problem than before because P47s are going to have no issue avoiding bf110s

>>532321301
>be mass reported
>banned immediately because asians spend more on games than westerners

>>532321395
P-47s are amazing CAS that just happen to be fighters, so they can spawn immediately which would make the CAS problem even worse
Even if they can only spawn without bombs, they have 8 MGs that can easily kill any light tank

>>532322112
they can't easily kill any light tank if they actually have opposition in the air

>>532322479
they have some of the best planes in the game only held back by their pilots, and germany mains aren't any better
you have no shot at winning if britain and/or japan happens to be on their team

>>532321619
Of the alleged hundreds of thousands of "people" that play this game only 469 have had their accounts suspended for trolling or griefing or team killing during the time period of May 20th to July 1st.
No one gets punished for that shit.

>for trolling or griefing or team killing
You just know 99% of those were automated TK timeouts.

why does it have two radars
they both seem to be garbage

how come m103 gets heatfs but is-4 only gets a poopy aphe?

why no night battles in grb before 10.0? i want to club cas with my radar-equipped night fighter
>but i can't see
headlights, searchlights, flares, tracers, etc.

>>532328110
because the equivalent to the M103 irl was the T-10M, not the IS-4
blame the M103's underperforming cannon

>>532328225
why are they the same br then?

>>532323229
i regularly control the air all by myself with a 109 against yaks and spits
only when there's someone else that's in a spit and dedicated to air superiority do i have issues but it's easily solved if i have literally anyone else on my team also in the air to at least act as fodder

however, because of SPAAGOTS constantly firing at me for no reason i'm not usually able to intercept CAS before they're able to do one attack run

good night squidley

im starting to think im not squidley

I’m already squidley

>>532288092
Well they suffer mostly because of reverse and nato tanks getting completely unrealistic 5s loading times while soviet loading is fixed to the full spin of the carousel time

I say I'M dirty squidley.

all my enemies can flick their gun barrel like it's fucking counter-strike and mine takes 7 seconds to stop wobbling after stopping and then another 7 seconds for the gunner to handcrank it on target

I went full initial D with my charioteer, flanked a t-44-100 and he got the shot off first despite having to rotate his turret a full 180 degrees after I was behind him

i didnt ask nigga

Bad weather is a psyop to phase out airfield spawns without the community complaining, and I hate that people have fallen for it. I like taking off.

>>532362421
Yes, I saw it too. Ever since bad weather was added, the only airfield spawns I've had were due to bad weather. Zero maps where it's the normal intended spawn - all maps where you can get an air spawn just by asking for it before spawning. It's very obviously there to make players resent spawning on the airfield and ask for more air spawns.

>>532362724

There really isn't enough concern about that casual anti cheat drop they just did.
>In future, we plan to gradually lower the minimum BR for mandatory use of anti-cheat in these game modes
That line is fucking insane. Think about it for a second; they are literally admitting that 1) they are cool with cheating and 2) they want to give cheaters time so they don't get banned. The balls they have to have to just say that openly.

Im not even concious as to what to do in xyz situation, so just playing and reading a real life ACM manual isn't going to help me out as much as a good video is going to.
Reading an ACM manual is not gonna necessarily tell me what to do when I'm in say a mig21 and encounter a phantom in various different energy states, aspects, after the merge etc.

>>532388349
Cen X suck dick
it might be second best Centurion after Mk5/1 but they are all still suck dick
out of the tt one cen mk1 end up being the easiest to play cause you still mostly facing small ww2 shitboxes
mk3 at 7.7 now is suffering, you are at the same BR with laser range finding HE slinger nigger 2000 who can snipe you from across the map
7.7 centurions play like american tanks, but get rid of all its armor, put the ammo rack right up front so its easy to lit, and get rid of all maneuverability and the APHE rounds
but hey you get the stab so its all good right?
like even when you max downtier to fucking 6.7 german, you stiill have to tip toe around tiger2 like a fucking sherman
Caernarvon is just another cent but better (still shit)
Conqueror is the only good tank at that BR
the swed and jews took centurion, give it good rounds and good engine and they become the best tanks of the era

if you havnt even start on the bong tree then yeah I think the pack might be better
Firefly is actually pretty good
many ww2 tanks are still tiny shitbox so your meme round isnt really a problem yet, and you can frontal pen anything you face
post war you can just ditch the left tree and stick to vicker line and South Africa tree
Charioteer is also good
FV4202 is basically action X, they got funny turret so you can hull down and bounce some bad angle shot
desu I dont think fox is all that good anymore at 8.0
the real bong savior is falcon at 8.3, everything there are good from Vicker3, Warrior, ZT3A2, Za-35, Scout Heli

>>532388349
No. Fox was only good when it was undertiered and could bully slow ww2 heavy tanks. These days it has to fight other autocannon go-karts.
Also low tier Britain is fun and you should not skip it.

I don't feel like playing warthunder any more

>>532393737
That's because you're grinding, instead playing for fun.

>>532393102
they shoot ps, not ns, though

>>532394003
Only so much fun that can be had when most of the maps are bad, game breaking bugs are still in game, vehicle balance has ceased to exist, game modes have become stagnant, cheaters are rampant, max up tiers are borderline unplayable, and the player base is some of the worst there is.

when

>>532392424
you're trying to run before you know how to crawl. the fundamentals aren't there.

it's a truism that all dogfights gradually devolve into a rolling scissors engagement, plus or minus some lag rolls and whatnot. your goal is therefor to maneuver in ways that will allow you to enter that engagement with a decisive advantage. you can do that in any given situation by thinking about what a mig21 is and what a phantom is. You're in a lightweight nimble rate-fighter, the phantom is a gigantic cow with massive engines that perform well above certain speeds, so if you can get them to slow down they'll lose.

in your other example, an A-10 does very well at slow speeds while still having tons of power on tap so you'll want to bait their missiles then boom n zoom them

>>532394682
I only play on the good maps.

The fact that we are RIDDEN with these economy (((bugs))) and all of those are for "some kind of reason" always a negative for the player in which they take your RP, and NEVER give you more (excluding that infamous bug in which you could crash your plane and get 20kRP, in which they also said they would ban people for that but at the end they didn't because they would ban 90% of the ARB playerbase) really makes you think

It absolutely was, I remember noticing it WAY back in 2015 when I started playing in earnest, quite likely even earlier in 2013 when I first tried the game.

1 and 2 are alright
3 is stupid, because this game is a grind-based MMO, optimizing the shit out of your lineups and grind is part of the core experience

when are they giving the chinese high tier tanks their better reloads and spall liners?

>>532405543
Why?

>>532405678
because they have that in real life and the current ingame models are wrong? duh

Is there a fucking trick to playing 10.3 tanks with germany? I like my lineup but jesus fucking christ the teams are horrible. Like it takes less than five minutes for half of the team just die once and leave.

You need to be a professional cum chugger like the frog mains.

Two HRT. No more, no less. Two is enough.

11.3 is the br I don't play at, so I have no idea.

mediocre racks that would be more at home around 10.0 and getting utterly mogged by any helicopter with a turret

Never understood why it took them this long to add some crappy F-16 bootleg version to the japs.

>>532411383
The F-2A is a rapebeast of an airplane.

what did he mean by this?

>>532411383
because it has le OP radar and weapons or something, even though we already have AESA in game on multiple planes (it's a nothingburger) and AAM-4s are just AIM-120 copies

>>532410938
wtf is that rafaletard doing

>>532411962
It has an OP FM. It wasn't an F-15 and Su-27 counterpart, it's the EFT and Rafale counterpart.

>>532411827
FIROS 6

>>532412103
>it's the EFT and Rafale counterpart.
so it should've came in the same update as the EFT and Rafale

>>532412103
Yeah but it has the same shit engine from other F-16C's that is mostly countered by everything
>t. 484 kills currently with F-2

>>532414257
It's because you are projecting your retardation onto others.

True! It's so sad there's literally nothing in between 1.0 and 14.0.

>>532415470
It is literally a worse version of F-16C. The jap pilots all hated it for being a rickety piece of shit.

>>532415836
war thunder is not irl retard

>>532416027
So they just come up with a reason to add F-2 later, artificially making it better than it actually is? Gotcha.

>>532416137
>artificially making it better than it actually is
in which way

>>532416231
>overperforming airframe
>overperforming radar
>AAM4 somehow better thatn AIM-120 it's supposed to be

>>532415836
>It's literally worse
>Proceeds to be objectively better in every metric but top speed
Okay, retard.

>>532416813
>war thunder is not irl retard
Take your own medicine. That's the exact issue I've had, the plane way overperforms in the game.

>>532416384
>>overperforming airframe
no its not, the larger control surfaces and newer materials make it better
>overperforming radar
no its not, its the worst aesa radar but still outperforms every manual scan one
>AAM4 somehow better thatn AIM-120
its a newer missile, and its only a sidegrade ingame

>>532417563
Every F-16 past the very first A has bigger elevators than it yet it's the A that has the best FM. Why was the logic completely flipped on its head when it came time to add the crapanese UFO made out of pure handholdium? And why does crapan ALSO get the best early F-16 in the AJ that combines the A's FM and the Sparrows without sacrificing anything at all at the same BR as the much, strictly inferior ADF?

Reminder the F-16AJ is pure fantasy.

>>532418365
Like most soviet tanks, but that's war blunder for you.

Every Object in the game has been built and tested.

>>532417970
>bigger elevators
thats not the only difference, the entire wing and ailerons are larger

That doesn't mean War Thunder has an accurate portrayal of them.

>>532418662
Why is she so fucking fat bros? Its not fair

shitley seethes, sneethes

>>532410938
how you managed to find the single most braindead rafale player in existence i'll never know, you should have died on the first vertical loop

>>532418903
I turned the rate fight into a rape fight.

>F-16 :|
>F-16 Japan :O

this game sucks

>>532419260
that's my point, there should have been no rate fight to begin with, the rafale is a ufo and could have easily killed you the second you went vertical

>>532419420
Literally this, I hate america

>>532419420
it just looks better

If any jet made in the last 50 years needs to get into a knifefight then something has gone seriously wrong. Go back to WW2 planes.

>>532420124
true but missile combat is the gayest shit on earth both irl and in game.

>>532420124
then why
do they give
planes
canons

I've got fan mail.

>>532420445
Same reason soldiers still get issued bayonets

>>532420632
using them and avoiding them and having to learn all the extraneous bullshit around them is gay as fuck.
Dogfighting is the most fun shit ever and comes down to skill.

>>532420821
>Dogfighting is the most fun shit ever and comes down to skill.
Dogfighting comes down to whoever is flying the Japanese plane.

>>532421002
>he cant kill japcrap
ngmi

>>532421002
actually this

>>532420821
Being able to kinetically dodge missiles and other BVR tactics is also a skill, it's just a different kind of skill. It's not like you don't get into knifefights at higher tiers as well.

>>532420445
because 99.9% of combat sorties are CAS runs supporting troops in contact. cannons are for strafing runs, nobody seriously expects a WVR engagement.

Of course I can't kill japcrap. It's on my team and I wouldn't teamkill a fellow Japan enjoyer! Krauts on the other hand...

>>532420821
Missiles can still be kino, I fired a 9P at a harrier recently and I watched him bleed all the energy out of the missile by moving left to right continuously so it couldn't reach him, despite being in a much faster Jet I let him live out of respect.

>>532421527
*also because the best and most common method of destroying enemy aircraft has been strafing their airfield since at least the 1960s.

crew skills matter a lot more when you hit tiers where you get smeared across the map by a stray glance from a 2-second autoloader with triple-stabilized 500mm-pen apfsds and a rack of ATGMs just in case
