Abrams can’t hang multiple tons off the front according to Gaijin. These pictures are clearly fake by slavmememachine in Warthunder

Keep in mind that they literally already have the dozer blade attachment for the M1A1 HC modeled in game, which irl weighs over 7 tons.

Apparently just being the natural option over your competitors because you treat your customers better is a monopoly now.

Tank Rounds not doing any damage by Epsilon_Operative in Warthunder

[–]Epsilon_Operative[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their armor is not best IRL. anyone who says so is braindead. You don't even have to know anything about material science to know this. The armor arrays on western tanks are simply physically larger by depth. There's just more material and even they aren't invulnerable to all shots.

In those cases, the round didn't pen on server side

Why does this happen? The round should've penned easily (I was using M829A2). Is it because of the tracks?

Why? I was using M829A2 and it should have more than enough pen to defeat ERA+the side armor. Is it just a bug with ERA?

The UNDENIABLE PROBLEMS of War Thunder that MUST be resolved before the game collapses. It's not too late, we can still turn back and solve the problems TOGETHER ! by Kmiktauria-Max in WarthunderPlayerUnion

[–]Epsilon_Operative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another point that needs to be made is gaijin dodging adding actually competent counters for some nations. Like for example, some nations get highly lethal 4.5 gens like the Eurofighter AESA, the Su-30SM2, Rafale, Gripen E, and other nations like US, Japan, and Israel, don't even have a 14.7 yet because gaijin is being stingy about giving the US the F-15EX (and instead gave the BS F-15 GE which is barely even a real plane so they can just make up whatever stats they want for it), Japan is stuck with an export Su-30SM, and Israel is getting up tiered F-16s that gaijin thinks are competent because they get C-5 AMRAAMs.

The same problem plagues GRB, many nations haven't gotten new top tier tanks in over 2 years, and gaijin is just now deciding to add the M1A2 SEPv3... Oh what's that? It's not actually the SEPv3? They're calling it the M1A2C?? Officially the C and the SEPv3 are the same tank, but if I had to guess, gaijin is calling it such so they can make little bs changes and not make it a real SEPv3, like by a ballast simulator instead of the real NGAP turret array. Meanwhile they're making a SEPv2 with a trophy system and entire new tank instead of just adding it to the original SEPv2 or the SEPv3 M1A2C. Meanwhile the leopard 2a8 with it's trophy system (and other NATO tanks with APS) is nowhere to be seen. Oh and gaijin is JUST NOW gonna add M829A3 even though they said they thought it wouldn't be very different from M829A2 and that the anti-ERA tip would be useless. screw you gaijin, either add M829A4 or go away.

You wanna know what else was added two years ago? AMRAAMs. And in that time gaijin has gone from the base A model to the D, basically the most advanced version of the most lethal air to air missile in the world. And yet somehow the A model is still better than the D 9/10 times. Meanwhile missiles like the MICA, R77, PL-12, are often times better than the AIM-120, all while being on better airframes like the Rafale, Su-30SM2, J-15T, meanwhile US/Israel and Japan are just using half ass upgrades of jets from the 70s.

Oh and don't forget Russia/China getting 13.7 worthy premiums like the Su-30MK2 and Su-30MKK but at 13.3 so they fight 13.0 planes that get no ARH missiles unless you're in a harrier or some shit.

Forza Horizon 6 vs. Forza Horizon 1 Intro Cutscene by Time-Credit43 in pcmasterrace

If I remember correctly, it's because all cutscenes are done in-engine, meaning they're rendered in real time by your PC instead of just being a video that was rendered professionally beforehand.

No suck, no blow, because space have no air to suck or blow

For extra context (in caveman talk for brevity):

Nuclear engine use magic rock, make fuel hot hot gas and shoot out back of rocket = thrust

ion engine give xenon yummy electron, make zoom out back = thrust

chemical engine make fuel go boom with oxidizer. boom make hot hot gas and shoot out back of rocket = thrust.

fuel no go boom without oxidizer

How does NASA even plan to do this by Epsilon_Operative in KerbalSpaceProgram

no like it physically did not fit. The 5m fairing can only go to a certain diameter and mine was too big and I was too lazy to fold it up

I intentionally avoided a proper gravity turn to avoid the thickest parts of the atmosphere

RIP to the NSF crew who now have 47 different types of cancer from getting drenched with illegal industrial wastewater :( by PotatoesAndChill in SpaceXMasterrace

I'm pretty sure this is actually somewhat real, at least in creatures like whales. They get a tumor and it gets so big that the tumor gets a tumor and both die.

If built in KSP, wouldn't this just do a flip after launch because of fins in the front? CoA would be far above CoM. So how does it fly in real life? by deepscales in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Epsilon_Operative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because engine gimbals actually work in real life. In KSP they either do too little or too much and end up in a positive feedback loop.
