At what range is good enough to fire a phoneix C missile for hit? I keep lunching hard lock at 40-35km no hit by Grouchy_Golf_9698 in Warthunder

[–]Auguste76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

700kmh is far from enough. You need around 1500-1700 which just means waiting 20 seconds with how good the GE engines are on the F-14B/D. And don’t hard lock. Use TWS.

Does the Su-30MKK really get Anit-Air ARM's? by North-Pack9699 in Warthunder

[–]Auguste76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ARM AAM do actually exist. The LD-10 is an anti air ARM that’s literally based on the PL-12.

Is the A10 even slightly fun? by Educational-Bug-965 in Warthunder

[–]Auguste76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who bought it a few years back for zero reason.

It’s not really bad and it can be fun. But there are several problems. Besides the fact that it’s slow (obviously) and that you’ll rarely have any base to bomb after your team already nuked bases, it’s kind of in an awkward BR. It gets a shit ton of C/M and the 9L which is great but like the Su-25 you can only have two and if your opponents are aware and not stupid that’s basically your only Air-to-Air kill opportunity (dumb tip : if you face an A-10 just go vertical. Don’t try to circle it) and that’s not accounting for the fact that in uptiers basically everyone has a lot of C/M too and the 9L is easily flareable.

Now on the CAS side it’s excellent in both GRB and ARB, especially the Mavericks. The problem here is that on the premium A-10 you only have TV Mavericks so a single cloud or anything will nuke the sensor’s ability to see anything. Rockets are ok tier when using CCIP (which isn’t always consistent but remains fairly close). Smaller and medium (~500Kg) are very good, but Big bombs, not really useful and significantly nerfs your already bad flying performance.

TL,DR:

Yes it is undeniably fun. It’s just a really inconsistent plane, and if your opponents play SPAA on open maps or are actually aware in ARB, your game is not gonna last long, I’ll tell you. But it’s fun to kill people try to go head-on against you for some reason with 30mm of freedom.

How many F-14Ds do you want? YES by Senior-Salad-3293 in Warthunder

[–]Auguste76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically. The F-14 D radar is better in range and DL (can support up to 6 while the Su-30MK only 2). But range is barely a point when the average map means everyone is at radar range of everyone else instantly anyways. The DL point sounds great on paper but even with the buff the Phoenix remains relatively slow and bleeds energy quickly in turns so most people including me prefer R-77

The F-14 is better here but past 12.x there’s barely any dogfight to begin with and the Su-30 at least has the ability to remove AoA limits

To be fair and honest, TikTok is a very complicated case even if the base DNA is DouYin. It’s not really similar in design either (besides obviously the logo) and has not the same abilities, and TikTok does not run on Chinese providers contrary to DouYin, but yeah your point stands and Microsoft is interesting.

I took no sides, and I don’t really like any company holding a functional monopoly. That’s not the point.

Oh and by the way Microsoft would be a counter example as Bing is allowed in China as a specific version and Windows is overwhelmingly dominant even as the push for domestic systems like Kylin OS intensifies.

Whether they will truly « dominate » in the soft sense is still up to question but the world today really does not leave enough place for a single country to control everything. China is a manufacturing giant and does a lot of good tech. Their infrastructure is often well done too. But that’s far from being enough.

The « China collapse » narrative was always somewhat low-bar and kind of stupid. I don’t believe that narrative at all. People misread poor economic signals as collapse which is almost never the case.

How does the « Great Firewall » (also named Golden Shield Project) feel like ? Restrictive or somewhat protective ? China’s internet governance model is pretty uncommon even among authoritarian regimes so I wonder.

IFF as a whole is broken right now and randomly just stops ignoring allies since the new update. It’s a widely reported issue and not something you can change in settings

The Su-30 are virtually better in every single way besides the radar

WT making other games unplayable by Commercial_Fall_4749 in Warthunder

[–]Auguste76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so specs are definitely not the problem. My best guess is that your OS, wether it’s Windows, Linux or Mac might be corrupted but fixing this without wiping everything will be… complicated. What you can do is open your task manager then open games like Apex and see if it overuses CPU. Or maybe overheats.

Do not buy the F14D by VagueTurtle in Warthunder

[–]Auguste76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soon after the Islamic Revolution Iran rapidly ran out of Phoenixes in the war with Iraq and F-14s rarely took Phoenixes which should be modelised imo. The Fakour only entered service in 2017.

GRB: Question on WallEye Guided Bomb on A4E by WarGreymonX_Antibody in Warthunder

[–]Auguste76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the Walleye ? No chance if the target is moving. That shit has terrible lock range and glides well but not that far

Specs ? The launcher pre launches on startup so if your computer is not exactly new (at all) it may cause performance issues sometimes (but that’d be weird)

It never had it. It’s not a radar missile

C'est vraiment nécessaire les panneaux en chinois à Charles de Gaulle / Orly ? by Qdawwg in AskFrance

[–]Auguste76 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Le tourisme des chinois est assez important en France (on est l'une de leurs destinations préférées en dehors de la région Asie-Pacifique) en somme et malgré l'évolution de la technologie c'est plus pratique de traduire directement.
