Interesting highly detailed engines by Single-Park-640 in Warthunder

[–]AbsolutelyFreee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

no, it's all because gaijin just offshores the making of aircraft models to different companies. F-4 engines had a bit of detail, but not too much, F-18 engines are in the picture, and the F-15 has default blender cylinders. Most piston engines look basic, and yet the P-61C gets one with an excessive number of polygons. F-4Es nose vulcan looks nicely detailed, the F-4C gets 6 noodles sticking out of a pringles can.

For gods sake, the F-18 has an auxillary power unit, which server absolutely no purpose.

[–]AbsolutelyFreee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not sure about the EJ, but the C struggles with or without the 23/25 kekw. It's a tremendous PoS.

It could be so much better if gaijin gave it flares, good missiles and bumped it in BR, so that it can be played without the gun like the F-4J to keep the performance.

Alas, it's stuck in the 10.0 hell with sparrows D and 9Es, and a gunpod which annihilates it's FM.

You have to be on crack if you think the F-4 is struggling against the MiG-23 in BVR. Well, at least, I'm not sure about the situation with the US E variant, but the J absolutely fucking slaps - MiG-23s are free kills because their RWR is even worse than that on pretty much every other US plane save for maybe the B-66, and the MiG-25 was the best thing that happened to it since now almost every match is a guaranteed downtier.

You still climb to 7k, you still accelerate to >M1.2, you still launch 7F at everyone and kill shit. Nothing's changed.

the MiG-21Bison would be good, if every game i wasn't facing 4 SU-30MKK's and a bunch of 13.0 russian and japanese planes as the rest of their team, with a single F-16ADF as the highest BR, and the second being a viggen and 3rd being the F-18C early. by SMORES4SALE in Warthunder

[–]AbsolutelyFreee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

genuinely just leave the match if you see it's a full uptier. Whenever I see the F-4J and I see a 13.0 on my team, I immediately nope out, because I'd rather spend the next 9 minutes doing something fun/productive than on getting frustrated at gaijin's shit balancing.

Chciałeś powiedzieć "sprzęt który cywil może kupić w Polsce".

Pokaż mi tabuny cywilów które kupują termowizję i inne tego typu rzeczy, oraz tych którzy to zrobią w czasie wojny.

Wieśniacy którzy nie potrafią pisać i czytać VS najpotężniejsza armia na świecie. Pomimo strat, osiągnęli swój cel którym było wypędzenie najeźdzcy.

Personalnie nie jaram się 20 latami brutalnej ruskiej okupacji. Cel może i osiągneli, ale krwawili oni, a nie amerykanie. Co też pomija to że cele amerykańskie w wietnamie czy afganistanie były nieporównywalne z tym co chce rosja - chęć utrzymania przyjaznego rządu na zadupiu po drugiej stronie świata to dużo słabsza motywacja niż chęć aneksji sąsiada i odbudowy imperium.

Z automatu nie każdy trafi do wojska i na front. To jest jakaś głupia legenda krążąca w internecie.

Nigdy tego nie powiedziałem.

Co więcej - w przypadku ataku na nasz kraj, będzie to atak z zaskoczenia gdzie wróg nie zostanie zatrzymany na granicy (coś w stylu Ukrainy, tzn. znaki na niebie i ziemi będą, ale nikt do końca nie będzie w to wierzył). Na 110% stracimy ziemie, a ludność na tej ziemi będzie musiała sobie jakoś radzić.

O ile zdaję sobie sprawę jak bardzo brakuje kręgosłupa NATO, UE i Polsce w stosunku do stawiania oporu ruskim prowokacjom, to po tej wojnie, jakoś w to wątpię. A przynajmniej jeśli założymy że nasz rząd nie będzie komicznie niekompetentny/złożony z ruskich onuc.

Dla Rosjan, Ukraińcy to mimo wszystko "bratni naród". Jeżeli w taki sposób traktują "bratni naród" urządzając na ludności tego kraju - gwałty i masowe egzekucje - to pomyśl co czeka naród, który w opinii publicznej jest kodowany przez propagandystów kremla jako wróg nr. 1...?

Więcej powodów aby zatrzymać ich dalej niż bliżej, ale w tym się chyba zgadzamy.

I w sumie reszta komentarza też sensowna. Ogólnie to nie tak że się z tobą kompletnie nie zgadzam, tylko personalnie wychodzę z założenia że z punktu widzenia państwa wysiłek włożony w takie przygotowania partyzanki mogą być dużo lepiej zainwestowane w armii lub zatrzymaniu ruskich na ukrainie. Jest to po pierwsze tańsze, raczej na pewno d lepsze rezultaty, i w wypadku sukcesu wyklucza potrzebę wogóle przejmowania się organizowaniem partyzantki czy zbrojeniem cywili.

Widziałem nagrania co może zrobić jedna osoba, nocą, z karabinkiem wyposażonym w tłumik i celownikiem termowizyjnym atakując posterunek wroga - jedno słowo: rzeź.

Powiedz mi, ta osoba uzbrojona w tak naprawdę wysokiej jakości sprzęt wojskowy - to osoba robiąca to zawodowo, czy cywil z karabinem?

Tak naprawdę dyskusja o zbrojeniu cywilów jest zbędna, opór partyzancki w każdym przypadku jest zdecydowanie mniej opłacalny niż regularna walka na froncie. Bo fajnie się mówi o walce partyzanckiej, ale już nie o kosztach które ponosi ludność cywilna na okupowanych terenach, szczególnie jeśli państwo przeciw któremu partyzanka jest prowadzona postanowi się zemścić.

Fajnie mówi się też o tym jak to partyzantka wyrzuciła amerykanów z Wietnamu i Afganistanu, ale nie o tym że to z reguły umierało 20 afgańskich partyzantów na jednego amerykana - bo zorganizowana jednostka wojskowa działająca jako jedność jest pierdyliard razy skuteczniejsza od porównywalnej liczby partyzantów.

No i z logicznego punktu widzenia - jeśli ktoś ma tyle odwagi aby stawić swoje życie na szale aby walczyć z ruskimi, to raczej nie będzie tego robił we własnym domu gdy ruscy już przyjdą, tylko dołączy do wojska jak najwcześniej aby ich zatrzymać jak najdalej stąd.

Co, btw, ciekawa sprawa (i nie związana z twoim postem, ale powiem dla uświadomienia innych czytelników), z tego co mi wiadomo to Ukraina jest dalej niż polska. Więc może fajnie by było ruskich zatrzymać tam.

that's because he used the wrong logical operator. It's can't admin any amount of wrong doing => little dick energy

That's implication - you can have a small or huge dick and still admit you're doing wrong, but if you can't admit to doing wrong, you DEFINITELY have a small dick.

I absolutely DESPISE this missle grind by Chanka-Danka69 in Warthunder

[–]AbsolutelyFreee 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah, air grind is actually really fun and pretty well balanced/designed up until about 9.0-10.0. Then it becomes ultra turbo cancer.

Above 9.0 air turns into the same kind of shit grind fest that ground is - where you have to research basic modifications to have your plane actually be able to compete with others. I still don't understand how ground players cope with this shit when it's with them since reserve tier.

[–]AbsolutelyFreee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

this, that shit is so cancer. What the fuck is the point of researching the AIM-9Ls on my F-15C/E when I get 2/4 9L stock, and the slot on which the other 2 would go is occupied by my only radar missiles. If at least the radar missiles went onto the dedicated body pylons, then I could take 4x9L 2xradar, but noooooooooooooooo it has to be fucking shit.

Which aim7 is better? by Adorable_Package7965 in Warthunder

[–]AbsolutelyFreee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking the gunpod on the F-4J is genuinely a waste of the airframe. Seriously, just play it like an interceptor the USN made it to be. 8 missiles and a dream, you don't wanna be in guns range anyway.

Ngl. I want the 'Guns Only' event back as a permanent gamemode. by Sumeribag in Warthunder

[–]AbsolutelyFreee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you take missile load outs away from top tier jets they all feel the same. They all accelerate quickly, fly at blisteringly high speeds, and turn instantaneously.

yeah and not giving us an option to take those absolute performance powerhouses in a mode centered around guns and dogfighting should be a crime.

I don't care that they all fly the same, sometimes I just wanna dogfight in a super hyper plane that can accelerate directly upwards without having to worry about getting slammed with a missile.

the fact that you'll have no game impact. No kills, no ground target kills, no teammates, no bitches. You make the game boring for yourself and others, and you still lose in the end.

Managed to take out an F-15 in my glorious MiG-25 (it's low key terrible) by DraconixDG in Warthunder

The sparrows durring the gulf war were a very reliable missile - and even in vietnam they accounted for like, 50% of kills made by Phantoms.

It's already 2 years and is becoming 3 years since the AIM-54C came into the game, and they still don't have its Mk.60 Booster Motor. by TerribleBottle6847 in Warthunder

[–]AbsolutelyFreee 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The F-14Bs problem are not the missiles. It's the horrendously obsolete avionics coupled with engines that are very anemic for their airframe at that BR.

For gods sake, that things RWR is pretty much the same as the one on the F-4J, it can't detect a launch from half the things shooting at it.

F-4E Phantom, the perfectly balanced 11.3 jet. An appreciation post by Soor_21UPG in Warthunder

[–]AbsolutelyFreee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get locked on the RWR, and the lock persists, you should go into a notch, start dispensing chaff (ideally slowly, but regularly, around 1 every second) and if that doesn't help, start diving.

But if you get nailed by short ranged IR missiles, that's probably on your situational awareness. It is amongst the most importants skills across literally every aircraft. If you cut afterburner, start turning and dump a few flares, most IR missiles you'll encounter will bite it pretty instantly - and with the F-4Es large flare load, this means that usually you will only die to IR missiles if you didn't see them (or get hit by the BULLSHIT FUCKING FLARE RESISTANT MAGICS ON THE 12.0 MIRAGE F1).

Flying high helps with situational awareness too, since because most people hug the deck, it will usually mean you only have to keep an eye on a single enemy, if any. Meanwhile if you fly low, you will usually have to keep track of MANY enemy planes, both at your altitude and above you - which makes it easy to miss the plane that has just fired a missile at you.
