>>533549652 (OP)
someone buy me rafale or eurofighter

when T-14 come out everyone will scream Russian Bias again

>>533553902
not their fault every other country stopped making tanks

Should of aim better.

>>533553408
>autoloader takes up half of the turret
At that point you should just use a human loader, fire rate isn't extremely important for a tank anyways.

>>533554662
>human loader
>with those ergos
retarded take

>>533554662
Fire rate isn't why Soviet tanks use autoloaders, it's a key part of the general design philosophy that called for a small profile yet strong frontal armor. Getting rid of the 4th crew member and building the tank around the carousel autoloader makes it significantly smaller and lighter overall.

pozzia is THE most handheld, least skilled nation in war thunder

>lighter
yet they somehow have dogshit traction and can't go the same places a leo 2 can

>>533556435
Boring shit

>>533556187
So the reality is the exact opposite of that one pic with the nig3 mutt going "YOU ARE HANDHELD" vs everyone else huh?

>>533556187
They are actually just that bad. Months of braindead kh38 spamming has atrophied their brains so thoroughly they no longer have the ability to play the game normally.

>>533556435
absolute horrendous turnrate with absolute horrendous missiles

>>533556717
>>533557006
surely there's something positive to be said about it

>>533557042
There really isn't. The good Rank VI American planes are the F8U-2 (gigahandheld) and AV-8C (gets worse the better your opponent is at the game but has some very strong early game presence).

>>533556638
>>533556826
I mean... it's quite LITERALLY this picrel we are looking at
>>533556953
my favourite headcanon is that the IRIS-T actually managed to counter the overwhemingly oppression of the Kh-38. I mean, the numbers are there... is just that correlation isn't always causation.
But still the IRIS-T stats are crazy, literally double the effectiveness of the PANTSIR.

>>533557198
oh so the ones I have to spend the next week grinding out are the only good ones D:

>>533557042
well if you get your nose up at the right time (rare), your 20mm is pretty nice to use against jets in its br

>>533557042
it was very broken when it was introduced 7 (seven) years ago

>>533557042
>>533557198
Yeah the F8U-2 is retardedly strong. Don't sleep on the F104A\F104C tho, you are almost literally untouchable if you play them right

>mudsuckers barely above 45%, 2% below mutts
>not even in the top 3 in the air
>60% WR for Soyuz

>>533557287
You'll want to have the Naval fighter tree researched anyway so it shouldn't be a detour to a line you wouldn't have touched otherwise or anything. The attacker line is whatever, the AV-8B is very funny but if there's a line you shout skip, it's that one now that the Hornets didn't end up in it.

>>533557263
>my favourite headcanon is that the IRIS-T actually managed to counter the overwhemingly oppression of the Kh-38
IRIS-T does nothing to the airfield KH-38 cruise missile spammers but it absolutely butchers 10 IQ CASgroids who cannot fathom the concept of flying defensively. Which is like 90% of pilots in ground RB, hence the sudden winrate spike on 12.0 germutts.

Tell me, /wtg/, how do we fix the problem where faster aircraft runs away from slower aircraft and doesn't fight

>>533561635

i am stumped at notching

Mogador

>>533564446
You don't notch and go cold, that's your problem

>>533564446
notch and make a wide circle anon
really depends on the type of missile shot at you and distance too, if it's a MICA within 16km, you're probably just dead

>>533564592
i never said i go cold
i said i change direction to stay out of IOG
as in, go up or down, not toward or away

>>533564696
I know, you chaff and notch but don't go cold

luv nippon
luv T-2

>>533564836
going cold should be optional unless they changed how notching works later on stealthily
but i guess i'll just do that then
gay nigger game changing how shit works whenever it feels like

>>533565165
what br are we talking about anon and what's being shot at you, distance, height, etc
it matters greatly

>>533565402
we are talking amraams, i used to be able to notch them just like sparrows, sideways, chaff, go up or down
we are talking really anywhere above i would say 1km but have some freak moments below 1km

>>533563402
Type 10
AH-64DJP
Mitsubishi F-2

>slop
>slop
>slop

>>533565572
if someone is holding datalink on you and you're just notching and not going cold, you are going to die 90% of the time, it also really matters how far they shot at you from and what their height relative to you is, if they're within 20km and have an altitude of ~5km on you and you're not immediately going cold you're also probably going to die. also if you aren't multipathing that doesn't help either

>>533554662
It's been consistently shown in the ukraine war that autoloaders have been a significant advantage during tank combat when under fire, especially the T-80's faster autoloader on the ukranian side during engagements with t72s and t90s.

>>533565921
alright noted, things have changed more than i could adapt to and understand it seems

>>533565165
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f_W6ygS9es
You might not be notching the right angle, you need to notch the missile seeker not the enemy plane.

>>533566154
i was notching for the missile seeker
but the other anon was telling me its the plane holding for data link possibly
anyways i will watch this
try and see what happens
and cry here again if it doesnt work

>>533566332
could be any number of things, generally if I notice a planes radar is pointed at me I assume they are trying to hold datalink and fire something back at them just to see if I can break their lock, also flying at 1km even at notch may as well be flying straight at them against most missiles, if you're going to fly low fly multipath height

Hold W and shoot Abrams in the turret ring what's so hard about that?

>>533567270
it's more leos than anything that are the problem, really. Abrams are great, luckily the players generally suck.

Abrams' turret ring weakpoint gets largely nullified by realistic gunsights.

>>533566738

Is there a way to turn of this card from appearing when you die? im tired of seeing some fucking female avatar faggot everytime i die

should i play air realistic battles or simulation battles? simulation battles interest me the most but i feel like a toddler with my mouse and keyboard

>It's another episode of dropping a bomb directly on top of a krokniggermobile and their tracks and barrel conveniently eat the explosion that realistically would turn the crew to paste if the entire tank somehow survived being blown to bits
It's hilariously obvious how over performing slavshit armor is in this game. In any other tech tree if a bomb of any size lands directly onto or next to a vehicle it's a guaranteed death, but in slavshit they always get away with blatant bullshit survivability. When I play the krokmobiles I never worry about being bombed because 99% of the time it shrugs off everything outside of the massive meme bombs, but if I'm in anything else anymore I just J out cause I already know I'm dead anyways unless I'm in a tiger which have similar levels of volumetric fuckery armor the slavs get but just a bit worse.

is there a working list of carrier landing capable aircraft?

i had to learn the hard way the landing hook on the f-5e is just for show :(

>>533607524
But anon, it does work

>>533608389
maybe i did the approach from the wrong end of the ship because i made two passes on the deck at what should have been a low enough speed without completely stalling out for a recovery and i'm pretty sure that usually works in this game

dunno, can't get one to spawn in on test drive to practice because its not a naval aircraft either

>>533609052
Yeah probably something like that. I was searching for an aircraft carrier in the game as well to be 100% sure but it seems i cannot find one. But i found proof
https://www.reddit.com/r/Warthunder/comments/yxwbw5/quirk_of_the_f5e

Am I being stupid by trying to learn this game with full controls with mouse and keyboard?

>>533610749
I tried but the best i managed was airfield-bombing in the F-4 phantom when the rocket gave you 3k mission score i one pass. Never bothered again, but there were some anons here that mastered it and it's possible

>>533610749
In AB/RB? Yes, anything besides mouse aim is a gigantic disadvantage. In SB? No, unlike DCS and the like, this game is fully playable without a HOTAS. https://github.com/ShartygeeAnon/WarThunderControlSchemes/blob/main/Controls_Sim.blk is a good starting point if you don't want to figure out a bunch of pretty obscure stuff the hard way.

I see, i've been trying it a bit in RB but I'm having a hard time which is understandable and it's also probably the worst place to learn it, I am stubborn though

>>533610978
My issue with mouse aim in RB was that I'm more use to the inverted up and down and for the life of me could not find the setting to change that that, my intention was to play sim battles but maybe I was a bit too ambitious for that, especially when I'm not deep in the tech tree

>>533611543
Nevermind I'm an idiot I found the invert setting

in it?

honestly the leak we just had is very very credible

>>533614313
Why? Because it has the trooncord layout and random vehicles?

Okay, I did a simulation battle and I see why I'm better off learning here, wish me luck

>>533614548
Lots of copypasta and similiar vehicles (T-45, Hawk T.1, BAe Hawk 108, BAe Hawk 66 2x MB-339, BAe Hawk 51)
Some top tier copypaste slop for both ground (M1A2 SEPV2, strv123) and air (J-10B, MiG-21-2000, IAI Nammer)
Arguably powercreeping IFV (Marder2, BMPT-72.
The promised AA for italy (SAMP-T, strange that france doesn't get it tho)
A couple of HE donkey guns nobody cares about but will be fun (Palmaria 155, Chatillon 155). The evergreen interesting (if premium) or worthless (if not premium) sub-tree vehicles, the couple of token helicopters and the always present uninteresting shi(t)ps.

I would be extremely mad if the best draken variant ends up in the fucking german tech tree.

I mean sure I have the entire german air tree researched so getting it is no biggie but I want it for sweden because they need better stuff to make their air tree more appealing to research and play.

F-4N phantom II as a squadron vehicle makes me scratch my head though.

>>533619497
Germany has a history of receiving the best version of something when it's first introduced, like the MiG-23 when it was released, the MiG-29, or more recently, the newly released F/A-18C. So this wouldn't be the first time.

As for the F-4N, I understand where you're coming from. The US, Italy, Israel, and France are basically the only tech trees still missing a dedicated "fighter" squadron vehicle. Considering how many F-4 variants exist, it's very likely that one of them will eventually be added as a squadron or event vehicle for the US.

Honestly, I thought a variant of the F-14 would be added as a squadron vehicle before anything else for the US to match the Su-33. I guess I was off by one number, assuming the leaks are real, of course.

>>533582627
>F-4N
>F-4B (read: F-4C) but with F-4S slats and HMD
Fucking why? It's such a hilariously terrible vehicle it's not even funny, I'm not even sure it gets countermeasures since all the info I could find is limited to the slats, HMD, smokeless engines (same thrust and everything as on the F-4B, just with a filter) and shit that isn't relevant to the game.

>>533620656
Probably you hit the nail on the head. One of the worse if not the worse F-4 variants is released... as a totally skippable event vehicle.
I honestly am a fan of "worthless" vehicles released as squadron vehicles, not cluttering the TT and not being total commercial failures as premium vehicles\packs

>>533621295
But it's apparently a squadron vehicle. Whereas terrible event vehicles have the massive upside of making their event easily skippable, terrible squadron vehicles kinda don't HAVE an upside - they're just a waste of time, effort and that nation's vehicle type/class/BR permutation.

Rocket pods working as makeshift flares is a fucking lie

>>533623846
What rockets are you using? The smaller ones aren't super consistent from rear aspect if you only fire a few at a time. You want either huge rockets (Zunis, S-13s, etc) or burst of smaller ones (Hydras, S-5s, S-8s), or "flare" from front aspect if it's AIM-9Ls/R-60Ms on undertiered attackers you're having trouble with.

>>533624089
This is the F105D so the FFAR mighty mouse. I got told to use them against 20G missiles that get slung at me from every other angle but even if i pre-empt it firing them every second they don't help.

>>533623303
I believe LDIRCM is currently capped to two simultaneous targets. Spam three consecutive missiles and it should do the trick.
Also Z-10ME-PAK when? It's seen combat the first day it arrived from China.

Nope, gaijin said something about eventually modelling the number of laser emitters, but right now you can dump entire 8 missile salvo into the chink copter and all of them will just magically nope away from it.

type 69 is really good. not oppressively good because you have to index your rounds but having everything that it has at 8,3 right now makes it very good. play it at 8,7 with the z11wa since you will be in 8,7 every game anyway

It would work like ass because russians haven't invented it. Look at BILL, used effectively in combat but is total garbage in the game.

It's garbage in the game because it's garbage in real life too

Wrong. BILL can cut through a T-72 and derivatives from top to bottom but in snore blunder it gets stopped by the roof mg

>>533620583
I would have accepted an F-16 as a squadron vehicle. At least then it would have been similar to other squadron vehicles like the Thai F-5, and the chinese JF.

>>533628304
So technically you could spam these over the general direction of the enemy and collect free kills like you would do if the brimstones weren't gimped? Sounds busted as fuck. Would more artillery vehicles in the game get this round or is it sven unobtainium?

>>533630627
I think only the most modern NATO artillery would get it.

>>533634997
Thanks.
>>533635070
No, just some American biplane.

>>533634926
Any of the big nig three.

Amerimutts and russniggers have the best variety and very easie to pick up and handle planes. Amerimutt teams however suck total dogshit. Russniggers have a seesaw level of balancing for their top tier shit, but generally get by thanks to favoritism.

Germonkeys also have very solid spread of well performing planes, but the atrocious level of incompetence and retardation the averate nazi plane player demonstrates makes grinding them abysmal. They have some phenonenal top tier shit at the moment though.

Smaller nations have smaller trees to grind but can be very challenging to handle.

>>533635703
>big nig three
shitaly, france, sweden?

>>533635703
Oh, thank you. What about China? It looks like it has planes from every country.

>>533634926
If you are interested in jet start with USA.
USA has the most handheld jets, but the team are literally retarded.
USSR has *some* uberhandeld planes that nobody can touch but overall the jets are less noob-friendly

>>533635703
>mutts
>very easy to pick up and handle planes
early on yeah and some shit (especially prems) are OP. The rest is mostly fast and undertiered which means new players have zero clue how to actually use them and get curbstomped by turnfighters.
Sovgroids are easily the best pick, far above mutts for starter nation. If anon is not too stupid and thinks about what he's doing for 10 seconds then yeah he can think about jumping onto mutt fighters.

>>533636608
>It looks like it has planes from every country.
This line of thinking is a trap. If you grind USSR and US as you absolutely should, all that copypaste instantly turns into completely worthless bloat that you already have access to, which is why Germany is a terrible nation to grind. You don't grind China because it has planes from other nations, you grind it because nowadays it's the only big, consistent producer of indigenous airframes not found anywhere else besides the aforementioned big two. But it's still only worth grinding after you've completed USSR and US as they just offer so, so much more.

why would anyone buy gripen after this?
imagine if you are some african tribe warlord looking for new multirole fighter, even if american refused to sell you any im sure russian or chink would be willing to sell some planes to you
do you want a risk of your provider ditching you when shit actually hit the fans?
do they get refund at least?
but desu there is no reason to get gripen to begin with when they already have f-16
is there any kind of mission that gripen can do but f-16 cant?
if not why dont they just get newer f-16 or upgrade their old f-16?

>>533638463
I prefer the grippy to the F-15J.

Because real world is not War Thunder.

>Only plane that will be able to multi lock, multi track and multi launch
>Best

>>533638516
If the F-2A isn't "good' (you didn't mention it therefore I have to assume you don't consider it good, even though it is), what makes you think the F-2A but fat (F-2B) would be better?

>>533638808
>>Only plane that will be able to multi lock, multi track and multi launch
Any plane with AESA can do that by the definition of AESA, Gaijin were just too lazy to model it on the Rafale, F-2A and Kfir C.10.

>>533638842
HDM

>>533638991
A small QoL upgrade (HMD is only actually crucial if you have HOBS missiles) won't make up for the massive FM downgrade. Also why would the twin-seat trainer variant get it but not the single-seat fighter?

>>533639156
Because Gaijin is stupid. I wouldn't be surprised if they only give the F2B the HDM.
If Gaijin doesn't choose to be retarded the peak of the missile dogfighter will be the F2A Kai or what ever they will call it by just giving it HDM. Nothing short of the Berkut will match it in dogfighting and the only missile better than the AAM-3 will be the ASRAAM.

>>533636608
Ching chink air tree is a complete trap. They have a few solid planes from other nations but for the most part they get absolute shit thats behind everyone else in technical aspects. Like the 10.7 F-104 starfighter that doesn't get flares at a battle rating where you face all aspect missiles. Your best planes outside of 12.7 and upwards are unironically the two premiums. A-5C is solid for base bombing and J-7D is a curbstomper with its 4x magic 1 equivalent missiles. Its a pay to not suffer nation.

>>533638595
You want Gripen over F-16 or F-15 because it's a brand new airframe that doesn't have the nightmarish maintenance requirements of old airframes. I remind you F-16 is fifty (five zero) (50) years old and costs 250 million to get them through their intended lifespan.
Policy is to not sell to countries at active war unless it's self defense and I'm sure Thais knew that when they signed the contract.

>>533639648
>Your best planes outside of 12.7 and upwards are unironically the two premiums.
Your J-7E?

>>533639705
but what if you called it special military operation training?

>>533638842
F-2A should be 13.0

>>533639943
Holy glutton.

I just want Oplot

>>533639713
It gets shafted pretty hard as more and more 11.0-12.0 planes with aim 9ms and magic 2s get added by gaijins retarded balancing. Also the complete lack of radar missiles on it, and while its got a heavy hitting 30mm gun its only has 60 rounds, which requires extreme trigger control and accuracy to not waste completely on a single kill.

It definitely used to be phenomenal, but after it got uptiered its just average.

>>533640607
>the best pre-F-16A dogfighter with 4 of the best rear-aspect missiles sin the game le bad
Shitter take, all you just described can be played around. What CAN'T be played around for the enemies is its gigauberhandheld FM. All they can do is run because engaging you once you notch/multipath/flare thier missiles is suicide.

>>533640919
that would be the mig23ml

>>533641095
ML's post-nerf FM is liquid diarrhea, the only MiG-23 that has a workable FM nowadays is the MLD.

If pre-flaring is a thing, is pre-chaffing as well?

>>533641158
you're just bad at the game

>>533641309
A pair of R-24Rs is literally all it has going for it. It has a dogshit FM, dogshit RWR, dogshit IR missiles and a clunky gimped radar (the automatic mode switching should have a manual override). I'm only worried about them at the start of the match, after they've expended their SARHs they're free kills.

I'm so glad that BF6 is shaping up to be great and I won't have to care about this shitty Russian scam game for years to come.

Jew if you love the patton tank and merkavas. Or if you like french and american planes.

Chink if you want russian and american vehicles. Even at top tier they're mainly reskinned versions of other nations stuff, with the occasional actual improvement.

>>533643653
>Jets don't look as impressive but nobody plays them anyway...
Holy cope, the reason Squad is shit is precisely because it doesn't have jets. A combined arms game is simply not complete without fixed wing air assets.

>>533644767

By that same metric israels m60s offer something unique with the ERA armor variants, the Hydra rocket pod variant, and access to higher battle rating APFSDS on their 9.3/ 10.0 versions.

But for the most part israel is most fun with just the 6.0-6.3 lineup of m-51 x3 and the two m109 howitzers. The m51 especially is ridiculously fun due to it getting a br 8.0 french HEAT shell to lolpen everything it can face.

>>533640919
Great missiles, certainly. Being limited to rear aspect, and super vulnerable to flares kinda dampens their luster. And as I said, having just 60 rounds in its gun is crippling for a dogfighter.

Straight up broken past rank 1 as long as you don't try turnfighting and don't climb straight towards enemy spawn
Pretty much no bad planes aside from Buffalos and Wildcats, which were historically garbage
Generally perform the best at high altitudes
Your blue enemies WILL be turnfighting at sea level 9 times out of 10
Very forgiving guns with high velocity and lots of ammo
Almost every fighter is also a bomber that can carry 1000+ lbs of bombs
>germutts
BF 109s dominate starting with the E-4, most the rest of the planes are also at least decent
Avoid any "fighter" that has a model in the bomber line
Generally good climb rates, specific power and high altitude performance
Guns are low-ish velocity but ~200RPG quickly becomes a standard and they hit hard
Has a bunch of cannon CAS and for some reason the best prop bombers
Turns into a foreign hand-me-down tree post-war
>slaves
Everything about them is mid to dogshit except their ability to just shit out energy, particularly Yak-3s of all types
>bongs
Middling outside Spitfires, which compared to 109s trade high altitude and dive performance for turn rate
Hispano cannons flip-flop between just ok and absolute shit, but at least they're high velocity

K/D has nearly doubled in most of my tanks after I went full pay piggy and bought bushes. It's absolutely fucking insane. Oh just paying money to completely hide the front of my tank and make it look larger than it actually is so weak spots are harder to aim at. I knew it was stupid but I didn't realize it was this stupid. Really reinforces the idea that if you use bushes your stats don't count.

>>533663757
it's less that it's "rarely played", just "rarer than others", meaning that there aren't games at that BR - so 5.3's get pulled into 5.7-6.3 games

>>533664168
ah ok i see i see, that makes more sense

Haven't played in years, you lot mind answering a few questions?

Is repair cost finally reasonable or am I missing something?
Is ~5.0 still panther hell?
Is ~6-7 still super pershing/heavy us hell?
Are APCR and HESH still crap?
Is armor still a meme?
Are sweden and krauts the best all round nations to grind ground if you're starting from 0?
How bad is the chink infestation these days?

>>533664948
>Is repair cost finally reasonable or am I missing something?
Yes, it's barely noticeable below top tier
>Is ~5.0 still panther hell?
The scary ones got upped to 6.0, so less than before. D is 5.7
>Is ~6-7 still super pershing/heavy us hell?
Yes
>Are APCR and HESH still crap?
Yes, they actually nerfed APCR again
>Is armor still a meme?
HEAT-FS slingers in 7.0-7.3 got upped, so tanking is much more viable.
>Are sweden and krauts the best all round nations to grind ground if you're starting from 0?
Nah, I would say the US is the best currently. Those two have too big lineup gaps imho
>How bad is the chink infestation these days?
bad

>>533665343
D is actually still 5.3, but lost its friends, who cares, just flank bro

D was always an overrated piece of shit desu

>>533665343
>they actually nerfed APCR again
You're shitting me.

>Those two have too big lineup gaps imho
That right? I'm mostly looking at them because I like what I'm seeing on the finnish part for the ealy-mid grind and I'm somewhat excited to play a Jagdpanzer IV and not pay 68.000 per repair.
But burgers huh?

I just realized there's a bunch of 12.3 br helicopters in this game; HIGHER THAN ANY TANK; and afaik none of them have the passive IR shit the russian/chinese one do lmao

>>533665343
>HEAT-FS slingers in 7.0-7.3 got upped, so tanking is much more viable.
however, the ratel 90 and 20 are 6.3 and 6.7 respectively

>>533665343
Sweden and Germany have the best top tier lineups so theye the best nations to grind if you only carr about being the best
And if we trust the leaks, sweden is apparently getting a leo2a8 next patch to go along with their already ultra busted lineup

at what point in its existence did the JPz IV cost more than a few buttons to repair

>>533664948
They nerfed/broke HESH again too.

>>533667089
>You're shitting me.
They actually did it by "accident". They wanted to make APDS "more realistic" and so added shell shattering when you hit an angled plate - and then added it to APCR. The result is that 20mm autocannon HVAP, meets a 15mm plate at 30 degrees and fucking dies.
>That right? I'm mostly looking at them because I like what I'm seeing on the finnish part for the ealy-mid grind and I'm somewhat excited to play a Jagdpanzer IV and not pay 68.000 per repair.
I mean those are rank III, you can get both no problem. My main gripe with Sweden is that they get a great 3.7/4.0, one (1) good 5.0 and then some mediocre shit until 8.0. Germany is better in that regard, but 5.0 kinda needs the premium KV-1 to be a proper lineup.
>>533667358
They are paper buses, though.
>>533667489
>Sweden and Germany have the best top tier lineups
But my man is talking about starting a tree from 0, he won't see top tier for literal hundreds of hours. What's in the mid tiers is much more important in that regard

>How bad is the chink infestation these days?

>>533667818

>>533681320
Yes ZTZ98 is an original design. But it's just T-series tank.

I kinda like the F-4 Phantom after using 3 of them in the UK tree. It's like a big muscle car that carries a fuckton of missiles and any other ordinance you want to slap on it. Only OK at turning but damn fast in a straight line and enough missiles and gun to murder everything (as long as you don't get uptiered into stuff like F-16s and MiG-29s)

>>533682450
I hate the F-4 because somehow when I use it all someone has to do is pop chaff once and my sparrows vanish from existence, meanwhile enemy F-4's seem to maintain their lock on me through anything, even terrain
if someone can explain how this is possible I'd love to hear it

>>533681618
>But it's just T-series tank.
No it isn't, as a matter of fact Chinese tanks have no interchangeable parts with any T-72 and even the gun despite being 125mm is incompatible with russian ammo.
Also ZTZ-98 9910 when?
>5s reload
>hn-5 MANPADs
>anti laser aps so laser rangefinders don't work on you

>>533683102
crew levels and your missiles will keep tracking even if the radar locks the chaff, as long as the aircraft is still within the cone of your illuminator

>>533683102
Just don't drop the lock

>>533683517
my ARB crew is level 75
>>533683560
like I said, all someone has to do is pop chaff once and the plane I was locked onto is invisible to my radar now

I have to say after 8.0 -ish the game stops being enjoyable for me

>>533683791
Works on my plane

Nice game ant*n

>>533683102
And I hate that when I play my F 4S, every enemy missile goes through my flare/ chaff spam despite me not afterburning, but when I try to do it against an afk flying ching bot in a phantom, my magic 2 gets distracted by 1 flare despite the enemy plane afterburning the entire time.

>>533683791
skill issue then idk, works on my FGR.2

>>533683927
radar works on my F/A-18 as well
it's just the F-4 that makes me mad specifically because when I use it, it's shit, but when I'm against one it seems to have radar equal to my F/A-18

>>533684029
kinda deserved tbqh

>>533582707
My post got drowned out, any opinions?

>>533684691
you're gay

>>533684181
I think those chinks are actually cheating
I once spectated an F-4 piloted by a chink (he was the last man left on my team) using full chink decals/paint just fly straight from the air strip to enemy bases to bomb them and there were two enemies firing missiles at him
the chink did nothing in response, just kept flying in a straight line, and the missiles would even looked like they hit, but he took no damage and just continued to bomb their bases until we won

>win objectives through sheer numbers because half the enemy team is flying around in planes
ok

>>533684181

I'm quite disappointed nobody made a Luftwaffe skin for it yet.

>>533684958
Okay nigger, now answer the fucking question or kill yourself

>>533683347
>no interchangeable parts
Not the point. It looks, feels and plays similarly to T-72.. M1 and Leo are more different despite having the same origin.

>>533685001
And thats most of the game nowadays. Ching niggers pulling off shit that shouldn't happen (like an M1 abrams' HESH instantly killing a T-72 Turms by hitting the turret front ERA dead on) while you have to juggle and struggle with nothing working despite trying to follow guides on how to make shit work effectively.

The game is actually pretty fun when its actual humans playing each other, not ching insect scum and their bot accounts.

The exact same gun from two different manufacturers wouldn't interchange for most of the time period the game covers

whats even the difference between kh-25 and kh-25ml besides guidance time

>>533689087
American and German 120 ammo is interchangeable.

>>533688294
Maybe he wanted to play pvp instead of pve

>>533689609
"kh-25" is the missile. The letters at the end denote the seeker that the missile is equipped with.

>>533690452
how come the base """kh-25"" still has a laser seeker

>>533690553
Kh-25 is the original missile and then they started making variants with different seekers so they started adopting a naming scheme to differentiate them.

okay apparently the only real difference between aerodynamics/mass bullshit (it's a2g who cares) is a designation source mask and less min range/more max range (which I think is just for calculating hud bullshit, the actual performance is going to be determined by the aero/mass/thrust bullshit)

>>533697103
western IRSTs cannot lock missiles that are actively still burning (other than SAMs) because...just because okay? you're being very racist

after substantial research, I have learned that the ha-go (boat) potato launcher HEAT shell actually fucking sucks despite having substantially more explosive mass (and lower velocity to go with it) than the normal HE shell because HE and HEAT apply the explosive mass to totally different damage calculations and HEAT does NOT apply whatever amount of explosive mass/energy that doesn't go into the jet into the normal HE mechanics like you would expect but has its own different shitty thing that sucks, so if for whatever reason you are playing this shit just take normal HE and APHE if you need pen
you can also uncover this information by just shooting like 3 test shots in the damage view instead of digging through all the files too

>>533698181
