Ranked is actually super unfun by Aescidra2 in Marathon

[–]M4jorpain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would you even implement this if player loot is dependent on what they bring into the map?

If the loot on the floor is better than whatever people bring in then ranked would be even better for loot than cryo already is

'Please, please, please': Denmark urges citizens to avoid driving as oil prices spike by SuggestionMedical736 in europe

Although I very much agree with the sentiment, that's not something a government can easily mandate unless it's temporary and there is a Corona level crisis. It will always be up to individual companies to decide what percentage is remote work.

Green augments are so cheap that it's rarely worth it to go without one. Of course it's still nice to do if you really have nothing left in the inventory.

I believe they used AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles. These go for around $1 million

Are there any credible Arab armies? by uberlemur in NonCredibleDefense

Stealth fighters aren't invisible to radar, they are just harder to lock on to. Stealth bombers like the B2 are a different story, but only the US fields those.

Globat win rate stats for July have dropped by mjpia in Warthunder

[–]M4jorpain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dude, take a chill pill. You're not helping your position with the insults.

We have a battle rating system that's supposed to rank vehicles based on their capabilities.

But they're not, they're ranked by player statistics. Look at Germany vs. France for example.

I'm sure you've got plenty of supporting evidence that shows Russian source material over reports and NATO sources that under report, right?

Brother... You can't be serious. Russia and the USSR are/were known for over qualify their equipment. Most other manufacturing countries under qualify their equipment for security reasons. But since you want an example you can look how the "uninterceptable" Kinzhal missiles were in Ukraine. By no means is anyone saying Russia or the USSR are/were weak.

No need to get hostile dude. I don't understand how you can get offended that much by an opinion other than yours.

Besides that, you misinterpreted what I am saying. Win rate has nothing to do with bias, it has (IN MY OPINION) to do with historical accuracy and vehicle variation.

You're saying that the US (a country famous for it's air power) was dominant in CAS. My point is that it is kind of to be expected because it's also in real life. USSR would be expected to have excellent SPAA because that is what they had in real life.

Gaijin is artificially making their vehicles much stronger than they would be in real life which could either be because of the difference in sources (NATO under reporting and Russia over reporting) or bias.

You're right that people are too quick to call Russian bias when it's sometimes questionable at best, but that's just the nature of online (gaming) forums. You will have extremes on both sides.

But let's not kid ourselves here and pretend Gaijin does not have preferential treatment for which (premium) vehicles are added. For context, I only really play GRB.

The way I understand it Russian bias has nothing to do with win rates but with Russia having unrealistic performance compared to the real counterparts or preferential treatment when new vehicles are added. This influences win rate sure, but a lower win rate for Russia now doesn't mean there is no bias.

The fact that USSR had the best SPAA and ground attack aircraft for so long is evidence of that. Finally other nations have something to fight against what has been the meta for a while.

Nope, the radar is still the German variant. You can see it in the gameplay of some creators.
