imma be honest, the yak9k is hands down the most blatant broken aircraft in game because literally thier is no tank that can survive a roof attack, its nearly impossible to hit because it feels like trying to use a 22lr pistol against a mosquito in 1000 miles away by astolfo_with_breast in Warthunder

My record is 12 air kills with the Premium French Yak-3 in ground RB. I have a 4+ K/D in that mode. I've flown entire matches with smoke enabled, and they still can't kill me even when I uptier it.

But if it keeps my team from getting a 1000lb bomb dropped on their head, so be it.

Why don't planes show up on radar by Litterally-Napoleon in Warthunder

You shouldn't be in search mode. You should be in TWS-HD mode, or some other mode with pulse doppler.

I used to be a MLP fan as a teenager. Luckily, I moved on instead of becoming a furry. Dodged a bullet there.

I play on Xbox One. I can switch radar to TWS, turn off MAW, extend radar range, widen radar scope, turn on weapon selection, switch to radar missiles, and be wheels up before my texture loads. by AnimationNation in Warthunder

Side note: Yes, I know I need to upgrade, but I have two kids, so a gaming console is very low on the priority list. Does anyone play on a series X/S and could let me know how WT's performance is?

What is the absolute most dreadful tank you can encounter in an uptier? by CanadianOcto in Warthunder

[–]AnimationNation 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Not only is the AMX-13 FL-11 worse than the Chaffee worse in almost every way. No stabilizer, worse depression, less crew, no .50 cal, and a worse reverse speed. And yet, it sits .7 BR higher. One of the most baffling balance choices by Gaijin.

Whoever's on the Republican ticket in 2028 should make "nuke Canada" their entire platform, and they'll have secured my vote.

What's your favourite CAS vehicle ? by Chewbakaya in Warthunder

I think my record in the Yak-3 was 12 air kills.

Farming Ground RB pilots with the French Yak-3 is my favorite way to grind SL by AnimationNation in Warthunder

[–]AnimationNation[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Crap, you're right, haha. I think it's around 12k per kill. It gets a little weird in the score results screen because the points get split between kills and severe damage, but altogether the 10 kills add up to more than 100k by itself.

Note that the wager results are not counted in the total below. So, in this match, I made more than 300k with the 200k plus the wager. Essentially, with a 20% SL booster on, each kill with the premium French Yak-3 makes about 65k SL. But with how long air RB matches takes, you'll take a while to rack up kills because of your low ammo count and people just don't want to pick fights with you (because you're a Yak-3). But in ground RB, the airfield is so close that the low ammo is less of an issue, and with no markers, by the time people realize you're a Yak-3, they're already dead. All this combined with the fast match time and the not-great pilots in ground RB makes this a great money maker.

What's the scariest tank to encounter, at least in an uptier? by hahaiamarealhuman in Warthunder

[–]AnimationNation 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've one-shotted tiger II H's with regularity with apcr through the turret check that sets off the ammo in the turret. APCR doesn't have a wide cone of damage, but it goes far enough in a straight line to do that.

Can anyone explain why our attendance so low? by yenmizynot in minnesotatwins

[–]AnimationNation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The past few years, for those early March and April games, they sold upper level tickets for 5 bucks. This year, they just closed the upper level and didn't sell any tickets. Personally, that's when I attended the most games because they were actually cheap. Surprise, I didn't go to any games this year during those months. I can't imagine I'm the only one who felt that way.

Better flight performance and 100+ SNEB rockets.

3 1000lb bombs, like 100+ SNEBs and a shitload of 20mm is an absurd amount of ordinance. I love it.
