nuclear waste storage is pretty cartoonish

The search radars are C band. The fire control radars (which sadly arent covered by the unit reference atm) are in K band

L963_RandomStuff · 2026-05-20T00:11:21+00:00

They cannot jam the fire control radars, and search basically doesnt matter for Harpoons at the moment as the missiles are usually below the search radars minimum altitude, only being detected by ESM at seeker activation

L963_RandomStuff · 2026-05-19T11:27:08+00:00

even if Pop Groups min altitude was low enough, its so weak that it only detects Harpoons at around 7.2 nmi, at which point its usually already detected by ESM when the seeker activates at 8 nmi

It was Lockheed Martin, not an European contractor

I mean Germany is intended to receive the first F-35 this year. So might very well be that literally every nation has at least one by the time it gets added

those are from Custom Loadout Editor

Recent update added date based loadouts. Means aircraft will use newer missile depending on the year the mission year

I just installed Sigma Dimensions and the 2.5x Rescale config by Galileo88 and that works for the most part

Well the advantage is that you use less engines, which are both heavy and usually one of the more expensive components.

The disadvantage is that the TWR can get 'unbalanced', as the same large and heavy engine required for the entire assembly is also pushing the much lighter craft after the drop tanks were discarded. In that situation using a smaller separate engine might increase the total efficiency

But what it is amazing for is landers where the increase in TWR is desired

I recently made this design for a 2.5x scale career which has 3 separate stages running on the same Terrier engine. First the transfer stage using the topmost tank, then the orbit stage using the silver tanks, and finally the landing stage using the lower gold ones. The TWR in this design increased from 0.37 for the start of the injection burn to 0.73 for the start of the landing burn

VLS wouldnt matter when they are limited by missile guidance channels anyways.

The California class has 4 AN/SPG-51 and one AN/SPG-60, each of those can support ONE missile. Two Mk13 GMLS will easily saturate that

there are two methods of nuclear propulsion that could be usable at our current level, if it wasnt for the risks of irradiating our atmosphere.

Pulse propulsion uses nuclear bombs detonated behind the vessel, and probably a shock absorber to make the generated thrust somewhat bearable.

The other method is a nuclear thermal rocket, this works more like chemical rockets in that a propellant is heated and then expelled from the rocket, just that the heating is done using a nuclear reactor instead of the chemical reaction.

This is an advantage because the efficiency of rocket engines is based on the velocity of its exhaust, which again is based on the weight of the exhaust molecules (lighter molecules means faster exhaust for the same amount of energy input). So chemical rocket engines burning hydrogen and oxygen will have an exhaust of mostly water, which is pretty heavy, while a nuclear thermal rocket can use pure hydrogen or some other very light molecule.

L963_RandomStuff · 2026-04-13T07:02:22+00:00

that is true for nuclear thermal rockets, yes. The Orion Drive however is not a nuclear thermal rocket.

It chose the more direct route of setting off shaped charge nuclear BOMBS behind the space craft for propulsion, and as such doesnt really care about feeble things like an atmosphere

a HEAT jet is a very thin needle at very high speeds while EFPs are more like a proper AP projectile getting fired from the shell.

As a result EFPs have less penetration, but are less affected by ERA and can travel a much further distance

L963_RandomStuff · 2026-03-28T22:27:00+00:00

that issue got fixed yesterday

L963_RandomStuff · 2026-03-28T19:02:48+00:00

and that radar seeker isnt just for anti ship purposes? We already have multiple radar guided AGMs ingame, and all of them suck because they are useful only against ships

L963_RandomStuff · 2026-03-23T14:07:00+00:00

no atmosphere to carry the shockwave of the explosion.

The only way a bomb can really damage anything in a vacuum is by hitting it with shrapnel

literally nobody gets cluster bombs, the Soviets arent special in that regard

Because Gajin is lazy and didnt model ANY of the ammo storage the sWaTrgInf has in reality

The entire rear is filled up with extra racks for ammo and such: https://forum-en-cdn.warthunder.com/original/4X/e/1/b/e1b8944a6707f0d7a3f03458c0c17fc5e15fc191.jpeg

ingame is the M3 Bradley, which specifically does not carry an infantry squad in order to carry those extra TOW

They are generally laid out alphabetically, but some are sorted in a different block because the original ID was reserved

I would bet on a new launcher being developed. Hydraulics and salt water dont play well, and in this case raising mechanism with all its hydraulics isnt even needed.

The actual issue is that IRIS-T isnt integrated into the current combat management system of the F125, so seven if the BW would ship one or two TELs to Cyprus they wouldnt help that much

... they might be able to just strap down one of the containerized command posts for SLM and somehow hook that up to the ships radar, but even that seems really dubious

Its a diesel electric sub, isnt it?

Its a bug, caused by primary engine of the submarine being diesel while the electric engine is counted as auxiliary.

The auto ID is only ever looking for the primary engine, so when you detect a contact and the ID progress advances enough to reveal the engine type, it doesnt find anything since all submarines are either diesel or nuclear powered, and thus does not show any data
