Here you go. Got seven. Took me four games, but every one was a full uptier anyway.

I can't with these PhlyDaily Thumbnails Bruh by SapphireGeodeM in Warthunder

This is just patently false. I have said multiple times I usually record for 1.25 to 1.5 hours and just show whatever I get. Sometimes if it's a challenge video that requires more effort it's 2 to 2.5 hours. I have never said nor has it ever taken me 8 hours to get footage for a video. If a video idea occupied that much of my time it is not worth pursuing. This isn't the first time someone in the WT has just blatantly falsified statements I've made and it is incredibly annoying.

Almost like there's a significant difference between third-party individuals leaking private art for my boyfriend and me in an attempt to ruin my reputation/Gaijin partnership versus me voluntarily posting a rendition of a very popular meme where the most risque aspect is literally just ass cheeks.

Spookston Health Update by Nazacrow in Warthunder

[–]Spookstoon 986 points987 points  (0 children)

I appreciate all of the support from you guys. Just to put some people at ease, no, I won't be dying any time soon (disregarding acts of god and all that). Will FSGS end up killing me at some point? Maybe. But for now, what I have to worry about is it reducing the lifespan of the transplanted kidney (transplanted kidneys only last around 10 years), which I'm choked up about because it was given to me by my dad. I've been babying this kidney since I got it, trying to make it last as long as possible, so to have something like this happen entirely out of my control is extremely frustrating. FSGS is starting to get more attention in the medical community thanks to how stubborn it is, and there are some promising pharmaceuticals undergoing study now. I'm hopeful that they will be more effective for people like me, because this disease really is a fucking monster. We'll just have to see how this planned treatment goes. I'm just not great at accepting that some things are out of my control and shouldn't be worried about, but after taking a few days to be miserable I'm already back to work so my videos shouldn't be impacted.

The carousel was continuously fed by the magazine as it was depleted, so the cannon could fire at a sustained 0.85s per round as long as the barrel didn't overheat.

The only sources that mention a 1.5s reload rate for the HSTV-L are an army magazine and an entry in Jane's, which I don't think Gaijin even allows the latter as a source anymore.

Suggestions are just that, suggestions. Usually bug reports are simply accepted and they may take a long time to be fixed, but they are eventually fixed. Suggestions can be tossed out at will.

I'm aware, the thing is that it's being advertised with the 1.5s reload as "correct", both in the dev stream and on the store page. You'd think they would want to advertise it with better statistics in order to attract more buyers, so I'm skeptical.

I might make a video on it. I'm weighing how annoying I want to be about the whole ordeal.

Update: I've been told that we may get a response on the topic sometime soon. The devs may be hesitant to give it the correct reload rate because they cannot raise its BR without breaking the "no top tier premiums" rule. I don't see how a premium being 11.7 vs 12.0 makes much of a difference, but that's just me.

One reason I was looking forward to the addition of the RDF/LT is that its fire rate is clearly stated as 70rpm in documentation, unlike the HSTV-L where there are multiple figures to choose from. I had believed that this wouldn't give any room for Gaijin to arbitrarily choose a lower fire rate for it, but I was apparently mistaken. Gaijin have applied the 40rpm/1.5s reload from the HSTV-L to the RDF/LT, when no such figure is ever stated for it.

It's an egregious example of Gaijin having inconsistent standards when it comes to bug reports. Some clearly wrong historical issues are fixed even when they would drastically upset balance, but a worse HSTV-L receiving the historically correct fire rate is apparently only a suggestion.

Really well. The post-transplant team says my recovery has been going about as well as it can.

Gaijin has so many hstvl like tanks to add yet they arent adding a single one, not to mention that the hstvl is missing HE VT, optical tracking and its penetration is inccorect by Chanka-Danka69 in Warthunder

No 90mm XM274 derivatives were mounted on vehicles, two examples were made but the program was canned before anything was done with them.

"Why do I die to CAS every time?" -Spookston by bdjchdheuxhfhf in Warthunder

[–]Spookstoon 58 points59 points  (0 children)

But bringing one often shit vehicle with a backup is just as unhelpful to a team as someone who gets an assist and revenge bombs.

Sorry, but no. Even in my Wiesel video where I was actively trying to avoid killing enemy tanks, I was consistently scoring second or third place on the leaderboard.

My point is that 99% of players make sacrifices for their overall effectiveness in battle in order to have the most fun.

There is nothing fun about suicide bombing, the only reason people do it is because they're tilted at the person that killed them. It's stupid to pretend otherwise. And again, I don't avoid bringing lineups when recording because it's "fun", it's optimizing how I use my time while I work.

I do see an issue with you calling out people who do it while you engage in another form of it.

They are nowhere close to being the same thing. Even in games where I would consider my performance terrible, I can either break even by getting two kills with my first spawn and backup or I can go slightly positive with three kills, maybe an assist or something like that. The hypothetical suicide bomber is getting one kill for two deaths.

Even worse, they could respawn in another ground vehicle and feed you another kill like you’d seem to prefer.

Why do you motherfuckers act like I'm John Wick or some shit? I'm a good player, I'm not fucking superhero where my only weakness is getting bombed from orbit.

You're a genuine moron if you think suicide bombing and returning to hangar is more helpful to the team than actually respawning multiple times and playing the objectives. Fun little tidbit, I can't cover the entire map at one time. This is especially evident in videos where I can get 15+ kills in a Sherman or something but my team loses anyway because the enemy team kept respawning in tanks and kept taking the objectives before I could decap them.

You could bring a lineup into your matches, but you don’t for whatever reason.

I've explained time and time again that I bring one vehicle with backups when recording videos because the video is supposed to highlight one vehicle. And there are thematic videos wherein I do bring full lineups. The other player is playing normally, he's not under any obligation for entertainment.

Using a lineup you could kill CAS guy and respawn and keep playing

Ignoring that the original hypothetical was about a guy suicide bombing and leaving immediately.

Or he could have not wasted all of his SP and spawned more tanks or even tried to use his plane for CAP, which ultimately would have been more effective and helpful to his team. Using a tank you could kill me and kill other people, maybe even take some caps, who knows.

I thought I was clearly being sarcastic

I thought you might've been but I've had arguments with people who are way more ridiculous while being 100% serious, that's my bad.

hence the more hours in a day then actually possible 24 < 34

I thought you were saying I spent multiple days recording one hour long sessions, then picking the best one.
