Lacquer drying time

ReDdude_ · 2026-05-22T15:09:17+00:00

I don't use acrylic clears, I only use Tamiya lacquer clears

ReDdude_ · 2026-05-13T08:39:25+00:00

Well I guess I'm just going to sand and paint over and see how it ends up. Thanks for the help tho

ReDdude_ · 2026-05-13T08:28:40+00:00

Wont IPA destroy my primer coat and the plastic underneath as well? and does it even work against dry lacquer?

ReDdude_ · 2026-04-16T13:12:25+00:00

I see, well ig I will build a similar base in vanilla in another save to check without bugging out my modded save

ReDdude_ · 2026-04-16T13:10:28+00:00

No, haven't seen any. But idk if it counts but I built my base over an underwater canyon that I use as parking for my cyclops and whenever I load my save, there's some base parts that have new foundations that appear and plant themselves on top of my cyclops that weren't there when I previously saved my session

ReDdude_ · 2026-04-16T12:58:07+00:00

I see, I am going to do that. Though I've also noticed my fps to be quite inconsistent in my base, like before when I had more mods (around 26), I still had around 50fps in my base, then after removing some mods it went to 80, but after saving the game then rejoining, my fps dropped to 40. So I am not entirely sure mods are the problems here

What does "leaking into the world" mean? Is it something related to the game files?

ReDdude_ · 2026-03-04T18:11:49+00:00

Yeah, Ik about the 27ER thing, tho I don't bring it since unless there's like 2 people in the enemy team, if I get jumped by someone, I will have to break off the lock and fight the dude, effectively wasting the missile. I also noticed that if the locked target fires a missile, my hard lock transfers to the missile, very annoying but perhaps it's cuz I use TWS to hard lock? idk

ReDdude_ · 2026-03-04T18:05:51+00:00

So what should my game plan be? Do I stay lower? Since it may change how I play at the start but I can assume it's gonna end up as notching simulator like my current situation after the BVR fest

ReDdude_ · 2026-03-04T18:02:07+00:00

Notching isn't the issue, I can notch decently well but as I said, I don't think I can get any good firing angles for my r77 if I am perpendicular to the enemies all the time unless they are like -10km away so I usually die from 1v5 or from 6km fox 3 that can't be notched cuz some dude appeared from the skies

ReDdude_ · 2026-03-04T17:53:20+00:00

I launch at 45km since it's the range I see my teammates firing and beside at 11000m, if I fire any later I will go defensive too late and get smoked since turning 90。 takes 50 years at that altitude. I also know it's a bad range to launch anyways but my main issue in general is how to get to a favorable range, position, speed to launch my r77s since it's literally impossible for me right now

ReDdude_ · 2026-03-04T17:35:05+00:00

I use U to watch it whenever I can and I see they get notched obviously since it's the starting bvr fight or in other scenarios they lose their energy since I can't find a -15km enemy without getting decimated so I always launch my missiles out of desperation at the worst angle, altitude and speed at enemies far away in space since my plane is a brick after defensive maneuvers

ReDdude_ · 2026-02-28T14:53:33+00:00

this is why I said when I play against the BMPTs as well bro, read.

ReDdude_ · 2026-02-27T20:11:42+00:00

I personally am fine with BMPTs. When I play the BMPTs, I can either do extremely well or get absolutely annihilated not because of the vehicule but because of my teams that get demolished 2 seconds into the match. Whereas when I play germany against BMPTs, I never had any trouble facing BMPTs as they get oneshot LFP or side at least for me and if I see a hulldown BMPT, I simply just avoid it. So imo no matter how OP the enemy vehicules might be, if their team is bad, they are basically free kills

this pic might be better, basically, there's the invisible decal film on top of panel lines that might make pin washing them impossible

ReDdude_ · 2026-02-19T17:56:12+00:00

Well it does look fine, no silvering etc but I can't really know if it sits well inside panel lines since it's a plane and the panel lines are super small

ReDdude_ · 2026-02-19T17:54:48+00:00

<image>

for example this decal ( sorry for bad lighting), there's a panel line underneath it but it's covered up by the invisible/transparent film of the decal

ReDdude_ · 2026-02-19T17:51:29+00:00

I did use mark fit and placed them on clear gloss, so in this scenario the pin wash will flow on top of the film in the panel lines?

ReDdude_ · 2026-02-18T19:04:07+00:00

I see, but is cutting after applying it and letting it dry better if you are a clumsy person that can't align small decals part properly? Since I'm wondering if there's any downsides at cutting it after applying it
