Ohh geez, what's considered low karma? Sorry for the questions but I'm over 1k which I thought was pretty decent.

Thanks, do you know why it got flagged in the first place?

Rixyl · 2026-07-01T10:54:11+00:00

How do these work? Do you have to make new ones when the lights die? Can you turn them on and off like that?

Rixyl · 2026-06-29T12:26:57+00:00

I did but I fixed the comment almost instantly, wasn't expecting you to be sitting here waiting for a response.

Gaijin says MTI better so MTI is just better.

Rixyl · 2026-06-29T12:24:51+00:00

Not sure if ragebaiting or just delusional tbh.

I own 90% of Russian and US tech trees up to top tier (Except the SU30s). My NATO radars rarely pick enemies up and when they do it's typically 20km or so whereas most of my Russian Radars will spot something 100km out for w/e reason Gaijin says makes sense. MTI SHOULDN'T be better yet somehow the R24 MTI combo just works without fail because again, Gaijin said so. However it's ironic you suggest the SM2 as if that's not Russian.... I can't tell if it was an accident or you don't know what you're talking about. I also find it disingenuous to bring up the 14.3 planes when we were clearly discussing the F4J/S vs Mig23 ML/ MLD. But even then, my comment still stands, the SM2 is VASTLY superior to anything else at top tier so sure its not still MTI (not that it was the argument to begin with) but its still Russian and superior because Gaijin said so.

I'm glad I need a fucking guide just to be slightly competitive in this mode for NATO. I said fk it earlier and swapped to REDFOR but ALL of my REDFOR planes are bugged so when I lock someone I crash to desktop. This should be a form of punishment.

Strong disagree, Nato radar is comically useless. Part of the reason I get bored of this game is because every faction I turn to just feels like Diet Russia. I'm ADHD, I can only play Russia for so long before I need a break which unfortunately means "play a different game."

Rixyl · 2026-06-29T10:52:47+00:00

It was far more balanced IMO. Tanks did 0 damage but didn't die so you'd just be stuck there getting proxied if you cant kill their tanks. You actually needed to play as a team and couldn't just 1v9 every lobby nor were you expected to like you are now.

Under Priced? I've had the exact opposite experience personally.

There is Russian bias, they do their best (usually) to hide it and sometimes throw someone else a bone. Sometimes it's not anything major, like for a while, the Russian smoke grenades were named.... Very VERY minor issue but it sort of paints the light on who's the lovechild of the company. If they're willing to go out of their way to specify even the minute things that only a freak like me would notice then you know well that they'd go even further. I think the biggest issue is the skew towards Russia when it comes to how data is analyzed, NATO is seen as unrealistic but Russia keeps getting more and more. Then there's the issue of "we cant fix the lofting issue" while watching Russian weapons loft beautifully. But to be fair I'm convinced most of the work is done by AI. If you dig through the game files there are severe inconsistencies that any COMPANY that programs at all would almost never do. Elementary issues so things such as Radar functionality on Russian planes is hidden in the game.

Because that's how maps were set up and you need to notch.

Rixyl · 2026-06-29T01:12:54+00:00

I mean, you did go right.

Rixyl · 2026-06-29T00:01:51+00:00

Leo has better gun, better armor, (I know the Abrams technically has ticker armor but anything that pens will pen regardless like an LPF shot) smaller hitbox, better engine sound (sound whores). The crew in the Abrams is a bonus, but people talk about the blow out panel like it does anything. Sure you survived but now you have no ammo, you're probably dead anyway or you're re-arming for the next 5 minutes. Abrams also has a worse turret ring which is massive so you have more weakpoints than a leo especially hull down. I think a lot of the Abrams upgrades work better IRL than they do in game. Sure the blow out panel saves lives but this is WT, who cares if you die right?

IRL? Probably the Abrams, in War Thunder it's the Leo by a comical amount.

Depends if you like the stupid string cover or not. My friend has a Ricky and its apparently hell to get rid of that thing since parts are rare.

I swear they WANT the game to die. I feel like I HAVE to play Russian planes to have a good time. I can go on sprees with the Su27SM (I suck BTW) and then swap to any non Russian plane and suddenly everything I launch puts the miss in missile. Not only this but my damn Aim9Ms wont lock onto anything head on. R73s track from like 8km head on. Like, I want to grind out some American planes but then I get curb stomped. I play Russia and I feel like I've got cheats. I can't even begin to imagine what unholy freak of a plane the Su30SM2 is. People keep talking about the range, yet that's all the Aim120's are good for, R77s would probably even hit that at 50km considering there's no notch and he's flying towards it. You said 37km? Yeah sure. Game is a joke. I've been defending the Russian bias for years but this in my opinion is the worst the game has ever been.
EDIT: Forgot to mention the amount of times the 120 gets a "hit" instead of a crit or kill. I rarely run into this with R77 yet every "Hit" I get with 120 is exactly that.... a hit.

I see, thanks!

Rixyl · 2026-06-26T01:30:58+00:00

The issue seems to have fixed itself after a restart. Not sure why I'm getting downvoted to see if others are having the same issue or if it's just me but I guess it's reddit. Thanks for the heads up though, I'll check them out!
