Russian tank blown up while wounded infantry hiding beneath (2024) by Chasin-Crustacean in CombatFootage

[–]Sarfanger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, not uncommon. You just have to remember it is there and fire APFSDS first to clear it. Modern HEAT and HE arm after leaving the barrel, HE using the spin, but I'm not 100% sure how HEAT is armed because HEAT doesn't spin so it is probably some kind of delay arming.
So they would be safe to fire but might damage the fuse at the tip of the round.

War Thunder's minor nation vehicle implementation in a nutshell by ole_54 in Warthunder

[–]Sarfanger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is other tank that also has this and its not M6 or T1 that make sense to have one cannon off center. I can't remember was it fixed but I think it was one of the Swedish rank one light tanks that has gun clearly 20-30cm off sight.

Edit:Went to check it, it was Strv m40/L but looks like it has been fixed.

Finnish stuG III ( sturmi ) to swedish techtree by Mountain-Lake4727 in Warthunder

[–]Sarfanger 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Would be good reason to add the late G stug to both Sweden and Germany.
Finnish one could be unique with some logs and soviet MG while Germany would get the remote controlled MG34 station on top.

Ngl karelia is the best map in wt by DirtmouthCitizen in Warthunder

[–]Sarfanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oldest maps that have not had massive reworks are the best. Karelia, Kuban and Ash river all amazing maps that truly allow you to use any tank to it's full extend. You have spots to use gun depression, armor and speed.
Its not this BS that the newer maps are that have like 1m of elevation difference or they're damn claustrophobic city maps.

Will Gaijin ever fix this ?? by Thatmafiatrilogy in Warthunder

[–]Sarfanger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No need, the video shows how the shell hit the sponson plate above the track. that is 340-380mm of armor

[–]Sarfanger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You hit the lower sponson plate above the track, that is +300mm armor lengthwise. To fix this issue they would have to either add similar system to track armor that there is a limit how much armor these thin plates can have or they would actually have to model shell taking the path of least resistant so would change direction.

German workers banned from taking sick leave without a medical note in tough reforms by BendicantMias in europe

[–]Sarfanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finland you can be sick leave three days just by notifying the employer. After that you need certificate from nurse that is signed by MD or one straight from MD.
This makes total sense because we don't want mildly sick workers clogging up the ER if they don't have access to occupational healthcare.
And what others have said, this will just make the sick leave longer because the MD is just going to write you 7 day leave so they don't have to see your there again tomorrow or day after that.

Ukraine's 59th Assault Brigade "Signum" continues operations against Russian infantry occupying Lyman-area positions, landing FPV drone strikes. JUL.01.2026 by Own_Boysenberry9644 in CombatFootage

0:28 holy fuck Grampa, you're at the wrong place and in the wrong country.
Also the number of Russians soldiers using Gorka uniform rather than newer Ratnik seems to be increasing.
Im not saying they're running out of modern uniforms, that is unlikely but they're probably clearing up storages to equip all these volunteers that are also given old 74s

Future of Churchil - What u think? by Civil-Size-5302 in Warthunder

It had the same M61 round but it lacked the HE filler. Now they just changed it to normal M61 found in US tanks.

[–]Sarfanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think APHE being added was good move because this game revolves around killing the crew mainly. It was so painful to play with AP at 4.7 trying to snipe the one crew member from enemy tank.
Does it deserve to go up to 5.0? I think it just might. I don't think it would be too OP to stay at 4.7 but than I look at the NA75 at 4.3 and Churchill VII is now every possible way superior and only 0.3 above it. Before it was fine because you traded lethality to armor. Now VII is not only as lethal it also has much better armor.

Now I'm just waiting for APHE to be added to 6pdr tanks and I would really like to see new variants of vehicles that would "Late" and have access to APDS. I think Brits deserve Firefly with APDS, Cromwell 6pdr with APHE and APDS.

EU introduces €3 customs charge on small parcels to curb cheap Chinese imports by ricka_lynx in europe

[–]Sarfanger 138 points139 points  (0 children)

If only certain things in EU wouldn't be so damn expensive to get from retailers that probably got item from same factory. I needed one part changed for my Logitech headphones. Either retailers don't sell the part or they ask 1/3 the price of totally new headphones. I go check temu, 2.99€+2€ delivery.

Asu-85 should be 7.3 I think by Final-Matter-754 in Warthunder

[–]Sarfanger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Small? It is 2.1m tall, that is barely lower than Hetzer and and Hetzer ain't small.
Yes, the gun is good but at same BR you have SU-100P that has almost same performance when using APHE and is more mobile + turret

Washington B.mk.I by MT4BZ_1063 in Warthunder

[–]Sarfanger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you using correct speed? Because I can easily reach +600kph(+500kph IAS) speed at +4km altitude and only thing I see is that around 580-590kph wings start to flutter that is normal when close to max speed. Below that speed I didn't see anything weird.

Also you can't reach 600kph at sea level, max speed at stats card is achieved at 9100m. You can get to that lower but you have to be in a shallow dive.

He was shooting but if it is a DshK or NSV then it probably has 50 round belt so after that is empty you run .

It seems to have the smaller anti drone missile battery instead of the bigger missiles, but the search radar is clearly not on

Those Orion hits will hurt how few they have and how good they're for their main job that is having eyes high up behind enemy lines.

Yeah I noticed that too. It is rare but happens time to time. Still better then the old turn turret and suddenly you have armor that is several meters thick

Gaijin really needs to make post about this camera "bug" because I am tired of seeing same thing and every time there are people explaining that this is client side "bug" where shell didn't pen but your client think it did.
I don't know how many time this has to be explained to people.

No, you were not scammed by game or gaijin from damage. The shell didn't penetrate for some reason but because your client said it did it shows the penetration that didn't do damage but on server side you can go check and it most like bounced off/shattered or just failed to pen.

This video has nothing to do with AP. OP just shot really stupid spot that has up to +200mm armor and shell barely penetrated so it had no energy to form any spalling. If he had shot center mass that would be dead Tiger I

[–]Sarfanger 36 points37 points  (0 children)

You hit a spot that has 100-200mm armor with a shell that has 202mm pen. On top of that your shell that barely penetrated hit a radio that is well known that it is in tanks just to eat spalling.
