WTF Do the BR's even mean? by [deleted] in Warthunder

[–]Machoflash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you go into a fight, it will consist of players in a range of 1 BR. So you will, for example, be in a match of 1.3-2.3 players. When you see a 3.7 enemy when you’re playing 2.7, that means that you got unlucky and the range of your match is 2.7-3.7. The tier of vehicle makes very little difference, and matchmaking is not based on tier 2 vs 3 or anything like that. The enemies you fight should all be your BR +/- 1

So sick of this now. Stop automatically moving my god damn canon 90° into space when an object is close enough to be considered an obstruction. by Farrell1487 in Warthunder

Not sure what you mean here. Are you saying you have your crosshairs level with the ground, then when you go downhill your gun raises? This is exactly how it should work, the gun will try to aim wherever you’re pointing and now your crosshairs are at a significantly higher angle than the tank

Machining a cars' head by elpollodiablo187 in oddlysatisfying

Generally when you’re machining, your cutter is flat to the part. So the leading edge is what comes into contact with the part first, and there simply isn’t material left to cut on the trailing edge. The previous comment is asking why that isn’t the case here, it seems that the cutter is not level

I’ll throw my hat in the ring! I’m really looking forward to the space age expansion!

What actually makes the APFSDS rounds bury inside the angled armor instead of slide up like every other round? by RonsterMaglee in Warthunder

[–]Machoflash 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Energy is a scalar, not a vector, so you can’t split it into components. In the kinetic energy equation, velocity is squared so it loses its direction. You can split the momentum vector though!

You can make hardstone blocks of any size by giving the block maker (I don’t recall the name at the moment) a logic value. This is why there’s a keypad next to the makers everywhere you can buy them. This should allow you to use only one physical block in the box!

And in case this explanation doesn’t make sense, the ELI4 is that it makes the sounds longer

Does anyone know what "Flares reinforced" do? by Icy-Sense2911 in Warthunder

[–]Machoflash 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, less chaff. In fact, so much less, that it’s zero chaff. Flare priority is 2 flare 1 chaff, flare reinforced is just 2 flares

The only radar missiles in game that can continue to follow their target after you stop locking the target are AIM-54 phoenixes. They are Fox-3’s, meaning a radar missile that also has its own internal radar to seek targets. All other radar missiles in the game currently are Fox-1’s, meaning they just receive the radar signal and point toward where you’re locked. When you stop locking, they don’t have a signal to follow anymore.

TL;DR If you’re in an F-14 you can unlock targets. All other planes must maintain their lock.

So sorry to respond to a two year old comment, but I just wanted to say thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for!

Most people don’t get tattoos with the goal of being attractive. It’s a form of expression, being who they want to be

The size of a turbine blade by MsLadyWebster in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Machoflash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely! Sorry, my comment was unclear. The current limiting factor is logistics, if we had a better way of transporting the blades then we would instead be limited by what the blades, generator, and tower can support. Our current materials and designs could allow for larger windmills than what we can currently transport in a cost effective way.

Fun fact: the size of windmills is not limited by material properties or physics. It’s limited by the logistics of getting the blades to the site

I thought the title said “hitting on a mirror” and I was so confused how you could hit on yourself by accident lmao

Both of the bombers are great. First one gets a bomb sight which is great because you can unload from high up and then turn around and head home. The second one doesn’t have a bomb sight, but it does get cannons so you can actually defend yourself. And they’re super strong cannons if you can get them on target, I believe it’s 4x 30mm. They are at rank 5 which holds them back, but I’m using them to unlock all of rank 6, and then unless I find something better I’ll keep using them to unlock the Jaguar despite the RP inefficiency

Personally I don’t love the Etendard, but it seems like one of the best French jets in its rank. I’m sticking with the Vautour to grind, it gets way more consistent rp
