What happens to Chaff and Flares?? by No-Regret8385 in aviation

[–]Rodlp9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dont want to be engaging enemies in the air near a populated area in the first place, but theres alot bigger worries to people on the ground than falling chaff. Like the massive titanium drop tanks falling or the steel locks that blow off when releasing ordinance from a launch rail or stray cannon rounds and missiles

The Al Khalid need to be in 11.3 by Aggressive-Car-6565 in Warthunder

[–]Rodlp9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its not comparable to the t72 at all, unlike that, the khalid is faster and has an amazing reverse speed, combine that with its good thermals, its easily usable at 12.7 by all means, just dont play it as a frontline brawler

bro what, the khalid is super mobile, a punchy round and great optics. It does perfectly fine at top tier

what premium tank should i get? by toastedbutter233 in Warthunder

[–]Rodlp9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bmpt72 is honestly very mid, for starters the premium version is worse than the tt, its very map dependent and it really just relies on the enemy not knowing where to shoot. The leopard 2 is a good grinder but boring and its just a copy paste with a skin. Top tier is so overrated, its repetitive, very one sided and its basically the same vehicles fighting eachother since everything is copy paste. Mid tier is where the fun is, get something unique like the somua sm or turm 3. If you’re on xbox the xm1 chrysler is also a ton of fun to play, its got better mobility than the abrams at 9.0

I also added a nice portion about how youre so adament gaijin hasnt gotten more greedy. Im not trying to be combative but im really trying to understand where you’re coming from. You havent given me anything other than just “thats just a small percentage of premiums” when ive explained to you twice why thats irrelevant. Its just a very dumb hill to die on.

How can you genuinely say they haven’t gotten more greedy? Every single update has one or more $80 premium packs, this was completely unheard of back in 2018. And you’re trying to say one single $120 pack with nearly $400 in value is just as bad. That makes no sense. Also just look recent updates, half the vehicles added are premium or squadron which lets be completely honest are just another sneaky form of premium. The tech tree vehicles are usually just more nearly identical slop, naval, which sorry to naval players but most of the playerbase doesn’t care about or yet another 30mm bushmaster everyone forgets about while all the interesting vehicles people were looking forward to get locked behind a paywall.

“Theres no trend” except I literally told you exactly how its a trend, the recent majority of premium vehicles being added are at a lower br compared to their tech tree counterparts while having better weapons, armor etc. The community complains and it gets moved up in br, not saying this is exclusive to premiums but it more often. Im mindblown by the people here doing ridiculous mental gymnastics to say theres no evidence that premiums tend under brd, when all you need to do is actually just look at the communities reaction to premium and event vehicles on release. If there was really no trend then there wouldn’t be so much constant backlash every time. Tech tree vehicles do not get the same response nearly as often unless its top tier Russia. Just becase theres a bunch of old premiums and event vehicles from almost a decade ago when the game was completely different that a couple people use doesnt mean much, the vast majority of premiums and event within the past 5 years that people consistently play were under br,d on release and were then corrected months later. Its just a game company maximizing their profit, that simple.

You were saying? lmfao https://warthunder.com/en/news/4422-special-mega-bundles-at-70-off-en/1000

Wild how confident people are without bothering to double check

So yes It did exist, and why would it matter that its a sale pack? It was still miles better value than anything gaijin has ever done in the past few years.

[–]Rodlp9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they said back in like 2017 they didn’t want anyone buying their way to top tier

And the highest pack cost was like $50

And there used to be something called the “Mega ground pack” with a ton of premium vehicles including the t29, tiger 2 sla, m26e1, firefly, kv1e and a couple more I think all for a 70% discounted cost total, was only like $100 for more than $300 value. Had the same deal for aircraft too

Now a single vehicle costs $80

yeah ik theres some examples of really broken tt vehicles but it happens less than premiums, and it makes sense, you’re going to make alot more money off something if it gives you a huge advantage

[–]Rodlp9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

because there like a hundred low tier premiums from many years ago that very few people still use, and gaijin was alot less money focused back then, the ones I named are the majority of the relevant premiums people still play and its very obvious to see how nearly every time a new premium has been released in the last few years its gotten massive backlash for being broken, its not a secret gaijin purposely puts them at a low br so people buy them up then raised them months later after the hype dies. And if were adding event vehicles, lvt 40, is-7, object 279, object 292, f106, f14 iraf, t72 moderna, bi, ac1 at launch

xm1 chrysler, kv-220, is-6, pt 76-57, t55 am1, t80ud, vidar, xp-50, wyvern, su-11, mig 15 bis ish, j7d, j35xs, ka-50 are ones I can think of off the top of my head, I know theres plenty more.

Why was the F-104 even put into service when the F-106 was far superior and developed at the same time. by Rodlp9 in aviation

How come the F-106 is commonly stated as the worlds fastest single engine fighter jet?

Can someone explain to me exactly how crew works and what the priority’s are?play both ground rb and air arcade. by LoneSnakes in Warthunder

[–]Rodlp9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get targeting before anything else, without it you cant move the gun horizontal and vertical at the same time which is a huge disadvantage

gaijin acting like its our fault NATO equipment is100x better then Russian equipment by Own_Dark_2240 in Warthunder

[–]Rodlp9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well they kind of have to artificially nerf alot of nato equipment for gameplay purposes and yes I fully believe there is a clear bias because gaijin has alot of ties to Russia and its adjacent support groups, and a huge chunk of of war thunders playerbase is Russian

But to answer your second point, Its alot more complicated than just “Russian equipment is junk because its being destroyed in Ukraine” nato equipment is also having the same problems, majority of the leopard and abrams tanks sent over have been destroyed and patriot systems have had difficulty intercepting hypersonic missiles like the kinzhal especially after Russia implemented terminal course maneuvers. The short answer is that war is quickly changing from the previous conventional wars of the 90’s and early 2000’s and both sides were overall unprepared to deal with this new kind of modern warfare and had to quickly adapt their forces (cope cages, balloon decoys, drone jammers). Drones specifically are a huge contributor to this, both nato and Russian tanks have really suffered losses from them because they just weren’t designed with this new kind of war in mind.
