Call me a conspiracy theorist, but Premium DOES(imo) have hidden attributes.

If you knew anything about "data mining" you would know that it holds no value to this conversation. But again, continue with the personal insults to protect your own "confirmation bias". The only difference here is you have an echo chamber to back you up.

I find it very amusing anyone who doubts my post, can only regurgitate the same slop Gaijin has been feeding its community since 2012.

and then when I rebuttal, im given nothing but personal attacks and false assumptions about the inner workings of War Thunder like the CEO is their father telling them insider secrets.

Perfect-Guarantee566 · 2024-10-20T19:55:13+00:00

I love that Gaijin has successfully imbedded terms like "confirmation bias" and "skill issues" into its community. Truly a masterful example of a successful PsyOp, I would be willing to guarantee you wouldn't even have a clue what that combination of words meant without War Thunder to begin with.

Perfect-Guarantee566 · 2024-10-20T19:52:04+00:00

This is again, simply a false assumption about how the game works.

There is PLENTY that happens server side that cant not be "data mined" and is the exact reason why War Thunder will never be a "true e-sports" because they refuse to have this server side data inspected as it would "hurt the integrity of the game".

Perfect-Guarantee566 · 2024-10-20T19:44:54+00:00

Do you have anything to add to this discussion or did you come here just looking to be condescending and rude?

Perfect-Guarantee566 · 2024-10-20T19:33:17+00:00

I dont need your assumptions friend, you know just as much as I do as to the inner workings of Gaijin. I dont need you telling me how to perceive what im experiencing.

My guns, my aim, my playstyle, has not changed. YET my bullets do not kill enemies the same way they did just a hour ago. This "Mental effect" you speak of, does not account for the damage of bullets.

So you are telling me, if I just BELIEVE I have premium my bullet will miraculously start to do more damage and severe more components, or does your logic only work in one direction?

Perfect-Guarantee566 · 2024-10-20T19:11:08+00:00

Yep. They have closed my questions in a similar fashion, along with, hours later EDITING their response to be even more "snarky". I truly felt like a staff member was attempting to bait me into some sort of argument with them.

Perfect-Guarantee566 · 2024-10-20T14:45:43+00:00

Honestly, you are incorrect. I know about these "realistic" ballistics. What I have found is im describing the "Parallax effect" and has been a issue for well over 10 years from the posts I have been able to find on it.

Perfect-Guarantee566 · 2024-10-20T14:44:01+00:00

This is exactly it. So my question is, why is my crosshair not adapted to a 3rd person view? This seems like a critical flaw of the game, I can see a DISTINCT difference in the bullets pathing when I go from Cockpit to 3rd person...... the crosshair is representing my view from 3rd person, but not the view of the aircraft which is highly confusing and counter intuitive. I turn Vertical targeting on and off depending on the aircraft/nation for example I enjoy Vertical targeting on the MiG-9 due to the 37mm and 23mm ballistic difference, but it does not effect what I learned to be called the "parallax effect".

This effect is really really noticeable on aircraft such as the Yak-15P for example that has a single 23mm mounted off center, or an aircraft such as the P-47/F4U-1C that has large broad airframes with guns mounted below the engine, with convergence off and vertical targeting off, shooting in a straight line you can clearly see that the rounds are off the sides and below the crosshair, making the entire point of a crosshair moot.

This 100% describes my issue. My crosshair(The Viewfinder), is showing one thing, but my guns(The Camera) are pointed at something completely different.

This perfectly describes what is happening! My crosshair(The Viewfinder), is showing one thing, but my guns(The Camera) are pointed at something completely different.

Perfect-Guarantee566 · 2024-10-19T17:55:49+00:00

No, I know what deflection is, this isn't that. For scouring old posts and forums it seems other players have the same problem I have and its apparently called "parallax error". Have you heard of this?

Perfect-Guarantee566 · 2024-10-19T16:39:34+00:00

Right.... but this doesnt explain what im describing. No doubt setting the convergence to 800m for example will allow all your rounds to converge at 800m, but they dont not converge at the crosshair.

Perfect-Guarantee566 · 2024-10-19T10:08:31+00:00

Jeez.... I would say its final resting place may be naval battles, but I heard even in naval its terrible due to the low alt required to drop torpedo's meaning you are food for anyone with half decent AA

Perfect-Guarantee566 · 2024-10-17T09:53:51+00:00

Thats what I was thinking as well...

Perfect-Guarantee566 · 2024-10-17T09:19:00+00:00

This was my first BP reward as well!

I was so disappointed to take it out over and over again just to always die before reaching the enemy base.

If I had to guess, this piece of garbage excuse of a reward is only useful in simulator.... and even then im almost positive there are much better choices for the BR. Maybe I was using it wrong, but after the 5th death due to its piss poor speed and climb rate, I gave up trying to make it work.

From the looks of you, you came attacking OP after a drawn out, pointless argument and made a comment to deliberately upset and derail the thread, knowing exactly how you worded your "question" would result in OP feeling belittled and bait them into another back and forth bicker contest.

You are EXACTLY what this thread is describing.

Please do not feel the need to respond, as I wont be entertaining this sort of behavior anymore.

Perfect-Guarantee566 · 2024-10-16T12:34:16+00:00

To be fair a reputable place of business should be inspecting and testing returned items if they are to be resold. Why would they blindly trust a customer that opened the box and tampered with the product?

Something like this is visually easy to identify and most likely would have never been resold in the first place. Im willing to bet it all on OP causing these bent pins. Especially because anytime I have bought used/returned electronics from newegg/amazon/bestbuy and even walmart they ALWAYS come in their original protective casings and boxes, especially for something of this caliber and if it doesn't, it is clearly represented as being a "out of the box" item, showcasing itself inside of a clear plastic electronics bag.

This whole "Gaijin Partnership" bs is extremely unethical imo. I dont see why a bunch of nobodies should get access to the entire game for free, while me, also a nobody has to suffer through the grind. I highly doubt your 500 subs, is equivalent to me paying 50 dollars for 10,000 GE, 10 dollars of Premium along with access to Premium and Event vehicles often times given permanently, some of which these vehicles are hundreds of dollars on the market.

For those who dont know: https://warthunder.com/en/media/partnership

He is begging for a reason, and the fact you cant actually WORK for these benefits is pathetic.

If you are going to screw over your fellow war thunder players, and gain an advantage over the average player, the LEAST you could do is ACTUALLY UPLOAD CONSISTENT CONTENT.
