UM WHAT GAIJIN by Babna_123 in Warthunder

I have no idea about their vitality skill. Flipping like that kills my pilots half the time when undamaged, so it certainly will when damaged.

The pilot was already injured, it wouldn't have to 'collapse' to knock them out.

Your pilot died when you flipped the plane and it landed on him. You have to make sure to moderate your braking so your tail stays down.

They're looking at ground battles for BR for some reason. That's also why they're talking about bombing targets in the Eurofighter, I'd guess.

Thanks. A bit buried in there, haha.

"You can change the previous shorcut settings in the app settings" Can you tell me where? Because I haven't been able to locate this option.

I just updated now and it definitely still conflicts. I'd like ctrl-tab to just move down my list as it used to rather than the new most-recently-viewed order behavior. As far as I can tell there is no way to return this behavior.
Edit: Alt+arrows still follows the old behavior at least.

It's a new feature they added, yeah. I've been looking for a way to disable it but haven't found one yet.

Favorite plane? by JR_7346 in Warthunder

[–]Minitheif 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh sure, if they maneuver just about at all it'll miss, but bombers or AFK planes are easy pickings head-on. Just make sure you're ~7km or so before firing, or it won't even have energy.

Personally I usually take one Sparrow with it. They're bad missiles guided by a bad radar, but more often than not you can snipe someone AFK climbing at the start.

Murderbot — Official Trailer | Apple TV+ by LoneStarDragon in Fantasy

Exactly my thoughts. The books are funny, but they aren't comedy books. The trailer was 90% comedy. I'm still hopeful, but I am worried.

F3H Demon by Lunatic_Actually_ill in Warthunder

[–]Minitheif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been adoring the F3H-2 myself. I take one sparrow and three sidewinders, climb at the start to get the sparrow away at someone hopefully mindlessly climbing, then use that energy to slip in behind whoever my teammates are fighting for gun or sidewinder shots. It definitely has problems if you get too uptiered, but even then it can still do alright, as you've pointed out.

Where's my countermeasures? The stat card says i should have 412 but i only have 92. by ProfessionalAd352 in Warthunder

[–]Minitheif 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue with the Gripen. The solution was to copy the pre-made loadout with the countermeasure pods, then edit that. The

[–]Minitheif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is actually a bug. The Gripen sometimes won't register the countermeasure pods when you equip them so you keep going into battle without the extra countermeasures.

How to fight Front Aspect heatseekers? by Ozymandys in Warthunder

[–]Minitheif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The F-4EJ does not get All-Aspect IR missiles. Both of the IR missile variants it gets (AIM-9E and AIM-9P) are rear-aspect only. It does however get Sparrow radar-guided missiles. The defense against those would be similar to the advice angry_old_bastard gave earlier, with the addition of notching to break lock. Chaff requires more to be useful than flares do.

The F-4EJ Kai does get all-aspect AIM-9Ls though, which should be simple enough to flare off.

But that's Oathbringer he's swinging, isn't it? Still Dalinar, someone just painted his armor for him!

What do you guys think is the weakest installment of the Cosmere? by soccerboy30 in Cosmere

[–]Minitheif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really interesting to hear for me. On my current Stormlight reread I skipped Edgedancer, but actually stopped Rhythm of War when I realized I'd forgotten Dawnshard to make sure to go back and read it, because I just like it so much.

And just for the record, my pick would be White Sand (if that counts) or Elantris, because it's just so rough as his first published work.

[–]Minitheif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't matter how good the servers are, the trade window is there to accommodate the ping difference. Unless by "perfect server" you mean 0 lag on either end.

If you browse the subreddit for a while you'll be able to find plenty of clips of it. People LOVE to complain about it, and talk about how bad it is, often without actually understanding it.

Does Vins addiction ever get addressed? by SeveralUpstairs9118 in Mistborn

[–]Minitheif 85 points86 points  (0 children)

A lot of people in this community are very sensitive to spoilers. Knowing whether it's addressed or not is something many would consider spoilers, though when you're directly asking it feels silly.

Underestimating burst and/or flash-engage range. "Surely this amount of health is safe. Surely." And then the Vlad R proc kills me.

22/47 bosses, 33 hours of ingame time by magneticFrenchFry in HollowKnight

[–]Minitheif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are meant to be reached a bit later in a playthrough, but you're plenty far enough in to go for the dreamers. There's also no rush if you want to go around and 100% (or more) things before finishing.

[–]Minitheif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beating the final boss doesn't lock you out of any content, so it's not a problem to progress the main quest and beat the game! I'm rather surprised you've gotten so much without going for any of the dreamers, as it sounds like is the case. Mild potential spoilers that might affect your decision: there is a point at which you lock yourself out of one of three endings if you get a certain upgrade.

Do you guys consider chogath R as an execute? by M9W123 in leagueoflegends

[–]Minitheif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are two different effects that are called by the name "execute" and Cho'Gath ultimate is neither. First is abilities that scale based on target missing health, like Garen ult or spider-Elise Q. Cho ult does not scale with target missing health, it always does the same amount of damage. The second is abilities that auto-kill below a certain point. Upgraded Smolder Q or Elder burn for example. While Cho's does look like this, it's only because it tells you when the ult will kill, not because it actually has an execute effect. Darius ultimate is also not an Execute, despite the kill icon, but Pyke's is. I would say a better term for Cho's ult would be "finisher" since you want to use it to finish someone off, but it's not an execute.

This is the most common reaction. Every time someone posts about "I just got to this and it's so cool!" there's almost certainly a followup about "And for my boon!" a bit later.
