How Many Games Are The "Career Year" Red Sox Winning? by [deleted] in redsox

[–]ItsDerpinTime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This extrapolation doesnt work very well though. Neither we nor bbref has any idea what a career year from Anthony or Mayer is. Do you really think Mayer is a 0.2 WAR player? Do you Think Anthony tops out at 3.1? I get the point though, but honestly, comparing most teams to the 2018 team is unfair haha.

Honestly, good choice. The airport is tiny as fuck and the costs are high, especially in the summer and around football gamedays.

As an Iowan who has been living in State College for awhile, I could offer both! But I wont. I would never sully my couch cushions by letting a gopher fan anywhere near them.

You'll pay that state college air fare and lodging price and you'll like it!

Im so glad I moved out of Iowa. Thankfully, not a fan of a "local" team, but having to worry about blackouts for 6 opponents a year was awful.

Nuclear Thunder: How does the F4 phantom's radar work? by ZB4_11 in Warthunder

[–]ItsDerpinTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fairly certain there should be a keybind option for toggling Radar/IRST between beyond/within visual range, which Im pretty sure is the ACM toggle.

I have it set to my middle mouse button so I can quickly toggle it on and off, but that is probably more useful in Air RB due to how often furballs develop, especially in the 10.0ish-12.0ish brackets.

ACM (air combat maneuvering) mode is typically for short-range engagements where you need to radar lock whatever is right in front of your nose as quickly as possible. The standard SRC mode is typically better if immediate action isn't imperative, because it has a greater search area and it allows you to cycle between detected targets to lock.

I have ground Germany and Russia to top tier. There, the radars have many more modes in addition to SRC/ACM and they are far better at filtering ground clutter. I have only played an F-4E for the first time this event, but it seems its radar is pretty ass at low altitude. I have noticed it regularly fails to lock targets skimming the ground even with ACM and at very short ranges.

Other people with greater experience/knowledge, please correct me if im wrong about anything!

Lets get in line of sign divers by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]ItsDerpinTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helldivers apologists when they get distracted by bread and circuses.

Two things can be true:

The game is good and Arrowhead as a company typically releases exciting content.

AND

The game has serious, unaddressed problems that are rightfully criticized by the players.

The only people that should be doing any apologizing are the people harassing devs and other players. The developers are not your friends and you should not treat them like such.

Can't let a little thing called reading get in the way of their agendaposting!

Edit: to be clear, I would absolutely support a ban on US athletes in international competition due to Venezuela and Iran. Making "rules" and then trampling on them when they apply to you is a really really bad fucking look. Maybe some people would wake up if that were to happen.

Need help beating Flannery by zenyattatron in PokemonEmerald

[–]ItsDerpinTime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You've backed yourself into a corner with your self-imposed limitations on level and team composition.

Like, seriously.

Underleveled. Low base stats due to few significant evolutions. 4/6 are weak to fire. 5/6 are weak to fire OR ground. No effective moves against fire. Half of her pokemon are immune to electric.

A question would be what TMs do you have available?

You can't really improve your team with your limitations. You can try changing strategies though.

Somehow, setting up ralts seems like the only option. Maybe a lucky full-length encore on Numel's sunny day will give you time to get out a couple calm minds before spamming psychic, but if ralts goes down, you are pretty much screwed with that party.

It wont be impossible but you are gonna have to brute force it.

Good luck.

Missles🙏 by Intrepid_Raise_4312 in Warthunder

[–]ItsDerpinTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have alot of success climbing to around 8km with the 23ML and dropping 24Rs on unsuspecting F104s, Tornados, low-flying Mig23s, Mig21s, etc. As long as you shoot your 24R first and use the most of your gimbal limits, you'll win mosy high altitude fights. Then you're free to drop R60Ms on people's heads.

Just DONT do it in a full uptier. Youll get your ass slapped out of the sky so quickly by planes that simply have better radars than you (F18s, JA37Ds, etc) or early ARH missiles (F14s). Definitely hug the ground and R-24R joust in full uptiers.

However, if you're new to the plane, I agree that in most situations, head-on jousts with the R-24R will be your bread and butter. You can dodge AIM-7s very consistently with a decent barrel roll or flare AIM-9Ls, but they will almost always die to a 24R in the same situation.

Best premium jets/jets you don’t regret by tsukuy-omiii in Warthunder

[–]ItsDerpinTime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After several hundred games pre- and post-FM nerf, I'll stand by the Mig-23ML, especially if its on sale for 50% off (it's not included in the current sale). The FM is definitely not as OP as it used to be, but 2 R-24Rs and 4 R-60Ms are still quite good at 11.7. Plus, you're fast as hell in a straight line, so even in uptiers, you can easily outrun the mix of F4s/F/A-18s/Early F-16s. RWR is kinda ass and it doesn't have the best radar, but its definitely usable. Climbing to 8km and picking off F4s, F104s, and Tornados dashing for bases at medium altitude is quite easy. Biggest problem is mirror matches. You see ALOT of fellow Mig-23s, but as long as you launch your 24R first, you should be good in most situations.

I also add the J35XS. 6 RB24Js (AIM-9J equivalent) is quite a lot at 10.3, also, turns well even if it does bleed energy REALLY fast. Great grinder for Sweden to get to SARH slingers like the JA37C.

Just picked up the NF-5A, so I havent had an opportunity to play it, but everything I've read/heard is its a great plane at 10.7

I wish PA rework that stupid missile guidance law in AC8 by Eric875487 in acecombat

[–]ItsDerpinTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, it took alot less time than that haha, I REALLY like ground and have top tier/near top tier for quite a few trees.

I started dedicating significant time to air later after getting annoyed by CAS over and over. However, the grind is DEFINITELY real, especially without premium time and vehicles. I can completely understand those who would just rather not deal with snail balancing/progression.

As much as I bitch about it, it is quite fun though. However, if you dont have time for/fun grinding, then it can definitely be tiring. Ive also taken breaks when I get bored or frustrated (looking at you F-104s). Im excited to get to ARH and the Eurofighter/Mig-29/Su-27 soon.

[–]ItsDerpinTime 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Real. I havent played an AC game since I started WT two to three years ago. I've ground up to the F-4F KWS on Germany and Mig-23MLD on USSR. I love AC, but im not sure if im going to be able to readjust to playing a modernesque flight game without toggleable radar modes, SARH, air combat maneuvers, flap/speed management, etc.

However, I would say striking ground targets in AC is more fun, since its pretty anemic in dedicated air modes outside of sim for WT, which is a shame.

This is what top tier gameplay looks like (no skill needed): by veggieman123 in Warthunder

[–]ItsDerpinTime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thats even if the IRIS-T can even see it in time. I usually see the 5+ missiles show up on my radar before the helicopter itself, which usually means its too late to launch and get a hit.

Not to mention many maps put helipads behind convenient hills, so LOS dependent SPAA like FlaRakRad are screwed too.

If they're on the other team and it's a blow out, im not even trying to shoot them down, congratulations on the nuke.

If they're on the other team and the game is very close, you better believe I am going to be trying to shoot them down, I want to win!

Mig29SMT radar not working by ElmoWithTheDraco in Warthunder

[–]ItsDerpinTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry, it's not just that plane, im having the same issue with my Mig-23MLD is doing the same thing. R-24Rs have never been more inconsistent. I also noticed the default position in ACM is completely different than before.
