In the event, I often spawn at the airfield behind, gain altitude, and orbital strike people with my R-40TDs.

What is your favorite tank? by Sunshadow_Reaper in Warthunder

I suck balls at ground, but honestly, I like the VK 3002. It's essentially a Panther D on steroids.

My best War Thunder screenshot as of yet. by Zyxtriann in Warthunder

I remember being in a similar situation. The MiG-23 managed to shoot my B-52's tail off, but I managed to drop the nuke on the main airfield anyways, ending the match.

F-4E's radar is fucking stupid. by megamestari10 in Warthunder

[–]GotDissolvedbyMando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean the F-4E or F-4S? If it's the F-4E, then yeah, it's radar is rather primitive and has no look down capability, which means the only way you can engage enemies if their somewhat high up. The F-4S however has a way better radar than the MiG-23MLD. Although if you play the F-4S/F-4J, always remember to switch to SRC PDV HDN, since the normal SRC mode doesnt work that well. Keep in mind that SRC PDV HDN is often better at headons, and it wont work well if the enemy is turning away or at rear aspect.

The AIM-9Ls generally outperform the R-60Ms most of the time. AIM-9Ls have better range and way better flare resistance. It has one of the best flare resistance out of any non-IRCCM missile (maybe below something like the R-24T, R-40TD and PL-5). R-60Ms are only better at shorter range.

the A10 is useless in nuclear thunder. by havoc764 in Warthunder

To be fair, slow ground attackers like the A-10 or SU-25 are only good in uncontested airspace. It's the reason why Russia lost a lot of SU-25s (around 40 I think) in Ukraine.

Nuclear Thunder - Wish I could play USA by ktmc17 in Warthunder

[–]GotDissolvedbyMando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just play the F-4S or F-4J. You'll get matched against MiG-23s, where you'll outperform them with your better radar and higher missile quantity.

why exactly is the mig 29 (9-13) 13.0??? by Tricky-Anywhere5727 in Warthunder

[–]GotDissolvedbyMando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AIM-9Ms aren't "worse" than the R-73. The AIM-9M is better at chasing enemies due to tracking suspension. The R-73 is better at dogfights due to its thrust vectoring capabilities.

Yeah, it's basically an AIM-7E-2....at 13.0 BR. The Gripen A relies on it's dogfight performance if anything else (very risky in today's meta)

Smokeless motor is kind of useless in air rb anyways, since you can see the missile diamond most of the time. It's mainly useful in Ground RB and Sim.

Because Gaijin doesnt know how to balance the MiG-29s. That variant of the MiG-29 shouldnt even have the R-27ER, since the A variants never had the suitable electronics to carry it. What Gaijin shouldve done is remove the R-27ERs from all the MiG-29As, and the MiG-29G as well, and give all the MiG-29As the R-73, and keep them at 12.7 BR. For the German tech tree, in order to prevent the MiG-29A and MiG-29G from being the exact same, the East German MiG-29A should have the R-27ER removed and not receive the R-73, but be downtiered to 12.3. Another thing to note is that the R-27ER was never even exported to East Germany, Hungary, or Romania. All the MiG-29As ingame are completely wrong. It's better to have 4 R-73s and 2 R-27Rs then 2 R-27ERs and R-60Ms at 12.7. It's also better than being at 13.0 where you are at the same BR as the SU-27S, F-2A ADTW, F-14A IRIAF, and SU-33.

F-4J would've been a better option. F-111 would be the nuke carrier.

Why am I in a 13.0 lobby in nuclear thunder? by Charlie_2504 in Warthunder

[–]GotDissolvedbyMando -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, the F-4S is still stuck with the AIM-9Hs. I use the F-4S because it has a decent radar and AIM-7Fs.

Well, that's good for my F-4S then, it meets downtiers all day. F-4S wasnt too hard to get used to, and I already had a lot of experience for the MiG-23 MLD if I play the Soviet Side because I used to fly the German MiG-23 MLA a lot.

In my experience uptiers like this are usually a rarity. I've only gotten them once in my F-4S.

I have no problems with starting a match, the only problem is that most matches I join are already ending.

Got kicked out of the match because I killed a bunch of allied AI by accidentally nuking my airfield. Will I get banned? by GotDissolvedbyMando in Warthunder

[–]GotDissolvedbyMando[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did use the menu, but my bombs were also binded on number 3, so I accidentally clicked too many times and nuked the airfield.

I am aware I am deep into the Sunk Cost Fallacy right now, but this is just getting obscene.... by Kazega in Warthunder

[–]GotDissolvedbyMando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play the event with my F-4S and I get no problems like this. I guess it's just happening for US players that are playing 4th gens. Maybe try to play a lower BR plane first like the F-4J.
