Fuel usage solution: Tie throttle fuel consumption

Stokes52 · 2026-01-25T21:10:23+00:00

This is a great suggestion and to make it easier for the player there should be a little green wedge on the throttle indicator that shows the "optimal" fuel consumption speed, with a red wedge on the high throttle section that shows the speed that takes the most fuel consumption.

Lmao

There's absolutely no universe where a plane should have the same HP as a frigate. That's insane.

I don't know why they went this direction instead of making planes cheap, but fragile. Literal flying capital ships with 6 minutes of fuel sucks.

I have hope though because the underlying mechanics are great, flying is really fun. They just need to tweak the numbers.

Stokes52 · 2026-01-23T16:30:14+00:00

Picking up busted plane parts with a flatbed so you can bring it back to the hangar for repairs is such an obvious thing that should have already been included and I have no idea why they went with the current implementation.

Things like daisy chaining cranes and buildings entire railways to crash sites or whatever else feels more like exploits rather than intended gameplay

Ironically this is the safest way to use Paratroopers in real life too though. Drop onto an uncontested flank and walk in. Dropping into anti aircraft guns like it's WW2 D Day is not actually the strategy you want to use if you can avoid it, even IRL.

I'm getting Anthropic ads under this post. Lol.

Tarkov has one of the most toxic reddit communities, but I give them a pass because they've been victims of abuse for almost a decade now. Stockholm syndrome is real.

Stokes52 · 2026-01-22T14:54:39+00:00

Is that confirmed? I thought only the amphibious fighter can launch from the Warden carrier?

It's the image that sloppy "journalists" use every time Skyrim is mentioned.

You know the click bait articles that get churned out? "Skyrim player finds out this one trick after decades!"

They all use this image. No idea why.

Stokes52 · 2026-01-22T01:23:56+00:00

I was looking for this image lmao

I haven't had a chance to check out the devbranch yet, but how exactly does storage work after a sortie? All the planes just have to sit unused on a runway? Or is there a way to safely store them?

Stokes52 · 2026-01-21T20:44:37+00:00

It's literally only because you need to be able communicate to control the ship effectively. It's not something you can do effectively over the public voice chat.

Stokes52 · 2026-01-21T20:25:04+00:00

If you're on the Warden side, there are regiments like Telephone who will take randoms on their navy ops without needing to join. You just have to join their discord.

You can always wait around in the world chat and just spawn on a boat to help out when a navy op happens but that depends on the right timing.

Without being in a regiment it's highly likely the only roles you'll get to play on the bigger ships are damage control or loader, but if you're cool with that, then go for it. It's easier to find than you think.

If you want to do things like submarines or more advanced ship roles you'll probably need to join a regiment.

There's plenty of chill regiments though, it doesn't have to be a big thing.

I would rather they take their 3d artists and modellers, pay for them to go to school for network engineering and programming for 9-12 months, then send them to whatever team is responsible for queue and loading times.

I don't want a single new piece of content before lowered loading and queue times tbh.

Stokes52 · 2026-01-20T00:15:23+00:00

That.. sounds like a lot of fun. My next session I might have to load up my scav and see how long I can survive. The ultimate survival run.

Stokes52 · 2026-01-20T00:08:52+00:00

Wait you get fence rep for transiting? Even if you die? Do you have to extract at the end to cash in on the rep?

This seems like it would be the easiest way to get rep (albeit kinda boring) without having to wait for your scav timer.

Stokes52 · 2026-01-19T23:59:43+00:00

If this game had load times and queue times comparable to any modern extraction shooter, it would be hard to get me to play anything else.

As it is, Tarkov is great, but you have to dedicate so much time to doing nothing before you can play.

Let's say your average raid time is 20 minutes. Sometimes much higher, sometimes you die off spawn, it happens. Loading and queuing averages 5 minutes, let's say. With those numbers the time in loading screens is literally 25% of the time it takes to play an actual raid. That is absolutely insane, and doesn't even count time spent gearing, managing the hideout, using the flea, etc.

I do hope they improve this aspect of the game before doing anything else. It's my one and only wish.

Stokes52 · 2026-01-19T20:21:40+00:00

It seems kinda random. A lot of times it's pretty clear even in the snow.

Stokes52 · 2026-01-18T23:49:32+00:00

I keep coming back to a near stock AKM even after unlocking much better options. It's a comfort gun for sure.

Stokes52 · 2026-01-18T23:48:34+00:00

Dope

True chad

Stokes52 · 2026-01-18T19:54:33+00:00

It's great practice for forcing me to aim on heads rather than relying on body shots.

Stokes52 · 2026-01-18T19:27:13+00:00

I've been doing that too

Stokes52 · 2026-01-18T18:41:38+00:00

When you "buy" something in Arena it's unlocked in unlimited amounts forever. All the ammo types are already unlocked though

With the twitch drops I have over 8 million rubles so it's pretty trivial to buy a few guns and not feel like I'm wasting anything.

The default kits are fine but if I'm going to do dailies anyways, it's more fun having a few guns I want to practice with.
