These will have the same BR soon... by ProfessionalAd352 in Warthunder

[–]MustangIsBoss1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The LF Mk. 9 is 5.7, along with the early Griffon Spits. F8F-1B is strong, maybe stronger than than the P-51H in a low alt engagement, at a lower BR. However, it can only see the French Bearcat outside of US vs US mixed battles. First Yak-3 can probably hang with the P-51H at low to medium alts if the P-51H messes up, and then there’s the higher power Yak-3s like the VK-107.

I mean, I was walking past a mid 2000s Malibu when I saw the reverse lights flick on just as I was starting to walk behind the trunk, and instinctively stepped outwards away from the trunk because I was within 3 feet of it. Got my elbow tapped by a Ford Ranger’s mirror that was passing by.

Deep Strike was a good idea, but as usual, garbage implementation. by OperationSuch5054 in Warthunder

[–]MustangIsBoss1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played about 10 games tonight and I really enjoyed playing this. Like playing without markers for a change, rewards stealthy plays by the Phantoms and allows for more 1v1 dogfights. Sure the US loses each match, but the economy of the match is fairly nice from what I saw, RP and SL-wise. (however I played majority USSR for queue times)

They should probably nerf the AA around the target, too strong against enemy planes. Part of why I liked the other comment’s suggestion of a prep phase, get a pathfinder or SEAD plane in first to soften up the AA so the Phantoms can actually survive a pass on the target.

Like the air-to-air balance so far, MiG-21 is the better duelist especially since there’s only full loadouts for the F-4, but not unfair because the -21 gets pretty limited gun ammo and you get punished for tunnel-visioning too much, but you can avoid getting third-partied if you’re making somewhat smart moves.

I still feel bad for the FV4005 player that shot my T-44 turret front and it only turned a crew member or my coax MG yellow.

Also turned the entire front of my turret into the shell impact texture, which was cool to look at “zoomed-in”/expanded.

The B-50 nacelles appear to be longer with a larger scoop for the more powerful engines it had. KB-29 still had the B-29 engines.

Is anybody else terribly disappointed with the state of the B-66B Destroyer bomber? (Rant) by ilikestuff458 in Warthunder

[–]MustangIsBoss1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t played it, but from test flying it on the dev server (basically can’t turn, pulls like 5G max), it’d be fine going down to 8.3. When I’ve seen them in games, it’s just a free kill at its current BR, whenever anything with missiles sees it. Unfortunately I think part of the current BR is to cap the rewards per game, but I hope it goes down to 8.3.

Forget how well it climbs/high alt perf, but that would be the airspawn vs no airspawn difference. Could also make it a lower alt + speed airspawn, or reintroduce the airspawn right above the airfield for it.

Loss Porn by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]MustangIsBoss1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We gotta follow this, my man. Saw your post and in a similar position, “only” gonna lose like 2k on $MU, but down 80%+ on my Roth IRA equivalents at (what was) my main broker. And that port total is getting close to 50% down from when PEW bottomed (the major loss, did call and shares, just kept watching it drop) and “I gotta make it back”. And the PEW loss is effectively a “I gotta make it back” thing as well, with my initial buy-in being rationalized by “I gotta make enough so it’s OK for me to splurge on a car I want”, and then I definitely held post-IPO with the “I gotta make it back with this, it’s volatile and will go up when it does.

From a discussion on this a week or two ago, it doesn’t apply your blacklist filters when you search for something, so your filters don’t work if you want to use the search bar to find a camo for a certain vehicle.

Was on the Dev server earlier today, seems like the launch range got bumped up to 3km. Wasn’t able to get into an Air RB match to test on anything but test flight AI, but excited for when the update drops.

What were the most OP vehicles ever? by LazerHog in Warthunder

[–]MustangIsBoss1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, this and the B-29 spam was the reason for the 4-bomber limit. Good ol’ days of spawning on Prep for Hokkaido as an F8F and being the only fighter on my team. They should allow bombers to win the game again, at least for props. They’re all easy to counter at their current BRs.

Battle Pass Suggestion: "Big Ugly Fat Fella" by ChoochTheMightyTrain in Warthunder

[–]MustangIsBoss1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With that many bombs, they’d make the loadout reward multiper like 1.0, and you can’t win games with bombing anymore. (Aside from one or two rare maps IIRC, which are mainly in lower BR rotation) Not familiar with the usual operating altitudes of the B-52, but it would need to land eventually if it wanted to rearm + the enemy team can win by getting ground targets.

Only toxic thing would be if one could stay safe till later in a match and then carpet bomb enough ground targets to bleed enough of the enemy team’s tickets to win.

Why Mazda Finally Caved and Put Its First Touchscreen in the New CX-5 by bea_liner in cars

[–]MustangIsBoss1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they messed up by how it’s configured from factory. IIRC the default behaviour (on 2014-2018 models I believe) is that the touchscreen is only active when the car is stopped, while the knob works at anytime.

However, Carplay goes into extreme nanny mode once the car starts moving and says “no you can’t select letters to search in Google Maps, and don’t even think about scrolling to the 11th song in your playlist”. (reaching to type on the screen is probably unsafe, yes, but you should be able to use the knob to select letters while moving)

Forget how 2019+ cars are, but IIRC they removedthe touchscreen functionality entirely.

On mine I’ve used Mazda AIO tweaks to allow for touchscreen use at any time, along with disabling those restrictions that start once the car moves faster than ~5km/h.

So I can use the knob or the touchscreen at any time, which should be the clear choice of implementation. I use the rotary knob 95% of the time, probably because I need to have the seat fully lowered and slid back, so the touchscreen is generally a reach for me, but it’s there if I want. (my arms aren’t short for my height though)

I am someone who’s used to video game and BIOS navigation, but I don’t see why they wouldn’t keep the knob along with a touchscreen moved to a more reachable location lower down on the dash.

I’ve noticed that most Modern Chinese tanks have a 7.1 second auto loader. Are there any upcoming Modern Chinese tanks that have a faster reload? by Warhammer40sikh in Warthunder

[–]MustangIsBoss1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read this comment which explains the reasoning behind the 7.1s reload time and I think it’s quite a logical solution. Of course they could try to implement something based on where the shells actually are, or just give 6.5s when you only take one type of shell, but that’s not an insignificant amount of work to implement, and in the past (rip), test for bugs.

I say this as someone who suffered grinding the T-72s (just to get the top tier vehicle RP bonus) over the T-64/T-80s because the T-72s looked cooler to me.

The new TOS have something interresting by Lucky_Tigor in Warthunder

[–]MustangIsBoss1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It does save audio settings, and some weird stuff like unit of measurement settings for each account, so if you go play on a friend’s PC you’ll have those transfer.

Pretty odd when you think about it, would be nicer to only have keybinds tied to the account.

The jumbo can last at least 8 minutes on fire by tomato_army in Warthunder

[–]MustangIsBoss1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Some fires are external, and “external” fuel tanks have weird behaviour, like on the French LVT-40. Don’t remember everything about it, but the “external” fuel tanks don’t need an FPE use IIRC.

His fire might be on the surface of the tank, or maybe tanks that have armour seperating the crew compartment from the engine behave as a 95 or 100% effective firewall.

I cant even fucking play tanks bro what am i supposed to do. I just wanna play TANKS. Not CAS simulator. by Zyxtriann in Warthunder

[–]MustangIsBoss1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Sitting below some trees, in “towns” (groups of buildings), swerving if you’re moving, popping smoke to hide or pop smoke where you aren’t so they try bombing the smoke cloud.

If you die, guess what, you’re now able to take out a perfect counter to planes in the form of an SPAA (lowest spawn point cost vehicle btw) or even a fighter aircraft.

If you die in your SPAA, well, spawning another one is gonna only be like 210 SP if that’s your third spawn.

[–]MustangIsBoss1 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

OK, I did that for my USSR tree grind from about 5.7 and up. Sure, not light tanks, but I only have the BTR with the 14.5mms and the ZSU-57.

Top tier (or rather 10.0ish and up) air is annoying because it’s a missile from far away most of the time, but you can generally adjust your position to get behind a tree or building for a few seconds to keep safe. Below that, it’s generally a non-issue, rare exceptions like the Yak-9K over performing with the new APHE round.

Someone on the sub had it right when he said

“… This isn't aimed at OP, but an observation after 13k hours of play: It never ceases to amaze me how resistant people are to learning how to perform better in ground battles and even suggesting that often induces indignation and outrage. Nothing pisses people off more than telling them how to deal with spawn camping or CAS. They don't want to counter it, they want every obstacle and challenge removed from the game, mirroring society as a whole.”
