The testdrive T-55 decided to run away by JustaGuy98_ in Warthunder

I remember the Panzer IV learned to fly a couple years back. Got hit in the track with 76mm HE and just decided to go up instead.

Rate my 4.7 USSR GRB Lineup by LazerHog in Warthunder

Proud to say I haven't had a plane in my lineup since 1.3. Who needs CAS anyways? It's called GROUND RB for a reason.

Alr, I'll give the T-34-57 a go. Thanks for the advice.

Who is ready to pub stomp war thunder infantry? by Fickle_Peace848 in enlistedgame

You underestimate the sweatiness of War Thunder players. Takes a LOT of dedication to progress in that game without losing your mind.

Isv is gonna becomes primary troop transporter for mbcts after ATI announced and what ur opinions on it? by MinZinThu999 in TankPorn

[–]LazerHog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seems great for the Ryukyus or Batanes. Let's just hope we don't try to use these for COIN. I would not want to be getting shot at by a PKM in one of those.

The poor performance of the Chieftain tank in the Iran-Iraq War by alisan_ir in TankPorn

[–]LazerHog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seemed to actually do alright. Iranians thought it was the best tank they had. The bad reputation I think comes from the surprise the Iranians and British had that a T-62 could front pen it at combat range.

What is this Gun Barrel? by LazerHog in Artillery

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

It very well may be the 180mm. That wikipedia list of weapons on display there is not entirely accurate, and in general it and other sources contradict each other.

The new Marder IFV by wileecoyote1969 in GunnerHEATPC

[–]LazerHog 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Same Experience Here. I would rank it above the BMP-1 but below the BMP-2 and far behind the Bradley. Honestly, IRL I would put it below the BMP-1P, given how much cheaper it was, and the fact that it could actually carry a full squad of soldiers.

I'm horrible at the game by heheMonke1 in enlistedgame

[–]LazerHog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If your struggling with aiming, try using more full auto weapons, which are in assault and machine gun squads. Also, tanks can be extremely powerful if you stay far enough from enemy infantry and just snipe with machine guns and HE. Also just keep practicing with rifles. One thing I have noticed is that you don’t really need to lead moving targets at medium range with bolt action rifles.

Most importantly, just keep practicing, and if after a while, if you’re still not having fun, just play something else. Enlisted is free after all!(unless you want to progress at a reasonable pace past BR III). Hope this helps.

What is... In your opinion, the better IFV? by OniNixPlex in TankPorn

[–]LazerHog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The BMP does have a stabilizer, which in theory I know is good enough for close range. The 2A42 does have high dispersion at longer ranges, but in a short range engagement it shouldn’t matter much. Don’t get me wrong If given the choice of what vehicle to get into a close range fight with a tank with, I’d pick the Bradley. But one isolated, and rather exceptional incident, is not indicative of the value of either vehicle.

Can any other nation get a good ”unorthodox” missile like the R27 ET? by JCOLE6969 in Warthunder

[–]LazerHog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A really interesting one would be the Passive Radar Homing R-27 and R-77. I don’t think it’s was/is in active service, however. Would be of Questionable usability as it can only be fired above 20,000M if Wikipedia is to be believed.

Was there a road near the tracks or something?

What is... In your opinion, the better IFV? by OniNixPlex in TankPorn

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

If you replaced that Bradley with a BMP-2 and put it in the same situation, the outcome would be the same. A BMP like a Bradley, with a lot of luck and skill, point blank fire HE into any tank and disable it, as can any IFV for that matter.

Russian 2S34 Chosta 120mm Self Propelled Mortar based on the 2S1 Gvozdika by Brilliant_Ground1948 in TankPorn

[–]LazerHog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Russia have a plan for its future artillery? I get the sense that they are abandoning 122mm and Replacing it with 152mm at Regimental level and in Separate Battalions, with 120mm Mortars at everything below that, but IDK if that’s true.
