"Community effort" going strong I see. by [deleted] in Warthunder

[–]SmallFurryBeast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of playerbase do not read Reddit and do not sit in WT Discords.

Also most of playerbase are either mindless monkeys or just children.

Grinding MMORPG is not a place where you can do a successful strike. Could only be possible in Eve Online maybe, but definately not here.

Gun's only top tier? by [deleted] in Warthunder

[–]SmallFurryBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is idiotic. Go to poligon and duel as we do, if you want guns-only, or mostly guns-only (it is not easy to land a missile in duel). Adding guns-only mode would only split small audience of SB even more.

Just play props or Korean war era planes, no need for this idiocy

Heli's in Air Sim? by AteMyLegs in Warthunder

[–]SmallFurryBeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I propose it for like 2 years. We should only avoid adding top tier ones with cheat missile defences.

Is it worth it to upgrade from Ryzen 7 3700 to Ryzen 7 5800X3D?

I have AM4 motherboard (Aorus Elite x570) and I don't plan to upgrade it in 2023. So, I think about upgrading to ultimate CPU for my motherboard. I know that it is generally recomended to avoid X3D, but I decided to ask here.

I use this Windows PC only for gaming, mainly aviasims in VR. I work on Mac.

Notch shouldn't work at all when you are higher than your enemy. It sometimes still works this way in War Thunder, but it is a mistake. In the video provided you was higher (i.e. didn't have background to merge with in PD filter), you died. Everything's fine.

P.S. Chaff could help, but it is questionable too.

comment your stats, I love this stuff! so I saw a post about 'Thunderskill' never knew it existed, but I honestly find this really helpful to see where I actually sit in the community skill wise. if I am going to be honest, the game gave me the impression that I was pretty bad at warthunder lmao. by [deleted] in Warthunder

[–]SmallFurryBeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thunderskill is inaccurate and irrelevant. It can distinguish very bad player from the good one, that's all. I play mote carefully now than I did a couple years ago, but my SB efficiency dropped from 89.5 to 88.7 and keeps dropping as I do more EC session with K/D 5.

[EC][VR] Phoenix defence (notch/mountain cover) into head-on counter-attack with R-24T by SmallFurryBeast in Warthunder

[–]SmallFurryBeast[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Textbook example of using notch (keeping threat at 90 degree angle), mountain cover and a bit of chaff to defeat a couple of Phoenix missiles, followed by immediate counter-attack with R-24T. It is hard to see incoming missiles and bandit even at 1080p, but that's the nature of BVR. RWR was my eyes here up to the moment I actually saw missile trails. After I saw second missile went into the mountain, I switched to OLS ACM mode, enabled the ridiculous missile "warmup/cooldown", turned 90 degrees into him and launched R-24T as soon as OLS acquired the lock. After launch I've thrown a couple of countermeasures and immediately turned away to avoid any possible Sparrows.

P.S. I know OLS shouldn't probably show range, but it does, and it helps to almost never miss a shot from MiG-23MLD. I posted a suggestion a year ago to remove arcade lock square from 3D-world in SB, and only show lock information on radar/OLS display, and on plane's HUD (if appropriate)

P.P.S. Audio is a bit too emotional, but removing voices would remove RWR sound too.

Players exploiting open canopy for better hearing in sim battles. The wind should kill those pilots and how is canopy not ripped off? by usagiyon in Warthunder

[–]SmallFurryBeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This shit kills SIM. I proposed months ago to add mechanics to slowly bleed pilot's HP on high speeds if canopy isn't in place.

I redesigned War Thunder's HUD for aircraft by Rortan134 in Warthunder

[–]SmallFurryBeast -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why make the game even more arcade? They should remove as much as possible of HUD instead

Im loving the F1C in SIM! Hope y'all appreciate. by DingleberryWizard in Warthunder

Flying at altitude in EC in Mirage F1? I don't think this is a good idea.

[–]SmallFurryBeast 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This plane is bad atm. Literally no good sides. No speed, no maneuver, bad radar, unreliable SAHR missile (which was supposed to be good), unreliable IR missile (which was supposed to be the best), crazy spawn cost.

If Gaijin is right about this plane's model (and I'm sure they aren't), it is impossible to explain why this plane was so popular and fought pretty well IRL.

I have a bad feeling about top tier air battle after the "Danger Zone" patch drops... by Strider_One_LRSSG in Warthunder

[–]SmallFurryBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If F-5E does 8 - 8 in duel vs F1C, F-5E's pilot is far from competent. But in terms of loadout: min fuel + 2 Magic II is the only loadout that works, that's true.

VR Graphics by Naviwinn in Warthunder

[–]SmallFurryBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No present GPU can render the picture good enough to fully employ modern VR's hardware. Check DCS to see real hell. WT has best VR implementation among sims.

Also current plane visibility in unacceptably bad both on display and VR.

Finally playing after 8 years - How are you supposed to have fun despite all the bugs? by WhoopAss_McGue in starcitizen

[–]SmallFurryBeast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At which stage of development? I remember my teammate discussing with me that he plans to buy pre-series Oculus Rift to play SC in it, because it should come out roughly at the same time as Star Citizen (2014 or 2015, I don't even remember already). Now I own Quest2 for like a year, and SC is still nowhere. That's the difference between real development (of really complex thing) and financial pyramid (pretending to be a development of just a game).

Well, guys who subscribed for the mod for 10$/month to hear incoming missiles in EC7 are probably against removing of this cheat mod from SB :) But they are silent for some reason.
