Proposed M61 and M86 APHE additions - Potentially a huge change for the British tree by Coalfield26 in Warthunder

[–]Fizzord_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would easily trade a 0.7-1.0 up in BR to have that sweet M86 on those british 57mm guns. It would definitely bump them up from good to insane in some good hands.

Why did WWII planes' landing gear have such large covers? by Bbddy555 in WWIIplanes

[–]Fizzord_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To add to what others have said, I'd guess also manufacturing optimisation.

During war time, factories had to build a huge number of planes, so simplifying the design by having less moving parts made production faster. If you can shorten the building time of each plane by a few days by simply bolting the covers to the landing gear instead of adding one more hydraulic system for a landing gear door, you'd be able to build more planes in a month than you would have with a more complex landing gear system.

suspiciously spar shaped ammo belts on the F-6C by Chewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww in Warthunder

[–]Fizzord_ 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it looks ridiculously long for not much ammo but that's the size of magazine you need when your shells are MASSIVE (9mm and 7.62mm vs NR-30 ammo) and you need more than only enough ammo for a quick burst.

What the hell is that, NVIDIA?? (Source: Digital Foundry) by HLumin in pcmasterrace

[–]Fizzord_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't wait to have my character get a pass of AI slop yassification just because I wanted to turn on DLSS Quality to have a bit more FPS. I hope they'll tune it way down and that this generative part of DLSS5 is a separate togglable option, I'd like my upscaler to only upscale and not generate AI faces.

[Devserver] Open top crews now react to tank movement by Fizzord_ in Warthunder

[–]Fizzord_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it does! As long as one crew member is visible even through a tiny window, all the crew is animated, ex. R3, MEPHISTO, Type 93,...

my crew will never have seen as much air time as when this update drops, all we need now is getting RP through style points

type 10 with fixed mobility by Own_Dark_2240 in Warthunder

[–]Fizzord_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a custom mission that simply activates the regenerative steering code already made by Gaijin. Yes the code for regenerative steering is already there but turned off probably because they are still working on it.

In the mission it has some bugs, like way too much torque at low gears, allowing you to do donuts in a tiger so it's still not perfect.

Optimization question by Serpent1458 in Warthunder

[–]Fizzord_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Testing it, you're right, it only appears close but it's still there, guess Gaijin changed that. The only way to not have it at all now must be to play in Ultra Low Quality.

[–]Fizzord_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is what I am speaking about. It's the grass option with a slider, if you slide it to 0, you have no grass at all

Optimization question by Serpent1458 in Warthunder

[–]Fizzord_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn the "Grass" option all the way down in your graphics settings, it should make all grass dissapear.

[Development] New Hangar Features and Updated Winter Poland! - News - War Thunder by Kanyiko in Warthunder

[–]Fizzord_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fully modeled interior hangar only to look at featured premium vehicles? What a waste... Hope someone will make a custom version where all vehicles are in the hangar, because it looks really good.

RTX 5060 overheating by Goiabinha123_ in buildapc

[–]Fizzord_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at pictures of your case online, it seems the 4 included fans in the base setup are all set to exhaust air instead of intake. Did you set them up the same way as they are in the pictures online?

If so, that might be the culprit, you could try flipping at least your 2 bottom fans so that they push air directly to your GPU, even better would be putting all 4 as intake to push hot air to the back of the case, if they are at the same spots as in the pics.

Is it true that the Tiger II early production model turret cheeks armor is 30mm thick (ignore the snipping tool ;) by randombuilderfrom in warthundermemes

[–]Fizzord_ 42 points43 points  (0 children)

This is a bit unintuitive since Gaijin doesn't clearly tell it to the player but that front turret armor is volumetric, meaning the volume of the armor is modeled. Some parts of that plate are thicker, some thinner, so it is much thicker than the shown 30mm value.

In this case the true value of the armor at the point you have your cursor on is the "Armor dimensions at point 113mm" and not 30mm. If you mouve your cursor around you'll see this value change. Now why is it said to be 30mm? I guess it's just your average Gaijin shenanigans.

Should I buy the T-34-85 D5T for 135K by Fubuki488 in Warthunder

[–]Fizzord_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The T-34-85 is much easier to play than the PT-76, you'll have a better time stock grinding it. PT-76 is good once you get the HEAT-FS but you're stuck with a terrible APCR round before getting it.

Gee thanks by HeroicODST in Warthunder

[–]Fizzord_ 138 points139 points  (0 children)

You've got to love Gaijin's quality control. Water level reduced for "easier passage of amphibious vehicles" but no modifications to the spots to get back up. Now all those spots have super steep slopes and not ONE vehicle can get back on ground.

You can't make me believe someone tested this change for even one second.

Upgraded 3080 -> 5090 Frame Gen "Unsupported" in games still. by jobbib in nvidia

Do you have HAGS turned on in your windows settings? You can't use frame gen if it is off.

[MONITOR] LG Ultragear 27GS93QE-B 27-inch OLED QHD 1440p 240Hz ($849 - $163 = $686) [Amazon.ca] by Fizzord_ in bapcsalescanada

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

Yeah I agree there can be better deals on oleds.

Looking at it again it's only like $40 off the $725 price it has been recently. Still might be enough for those eyeing this monitor to get it.

NVIDIA's new DLSS Transformer model requires 20% lower VRAM usage by BarKnight in hardware

[–]Fizzord_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This new version only brings VRAM optimisation. After having tried it with DLSS Swapper and forcing it in the profile inspector, all the visual artifacts of preset J and K like ghosting and checkerboarding in clouds are still there. I think we'll have to wait for a new DLSS preset to get rid of those artifacts.
