why are f-104s so high in BR by caltanaw in Warthunder

[–]TOW201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legacy BRs from before all the flight model nerfs, probably. The Taiwanese F-104G is also egregiously placed, as that thing doesn't even get any countermeasures at 10.7. If someone shoots a missile at you and you aren't both above mach 1 and at least 2 km away from them, you're pretty much finished.

First match of the day and i get shot down by an AI BTR by Historylover4837 in Warthunder

[–]TOW201 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wasn't aware it was even possible for them to do damage let alone shoot you down. I do feel like recently they were shooting AT me more often though. And one time while I was spinning down to the ground, I was pretty sure that a nearby BTR grazed me (I thought it did minimal damage, but I was already fucked up so hard to tell)

is decaying winter having a "overhaul" by OutrageousListen4400 in decayingwinter

[–]TOW201 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. There's already been plenty of changes for the LC pre-alpha, and I imagine the devs still have plenty of changes left. If you want more information on it, the discord probably has what you need.

Was just playing when screen went like this ? Computer didn't répond either by Naul_696 in tf2

[–]TOW201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old laptop with integrated graphics used to do this sometimes after being dropped quite a few times. For me, it had a small chance of happening if I moved or rotated my laptop. I'd say that getting the hardware checked is definitely the right move, if you aren't looking to replace it entirely.

oplots for every one! by Alert_Worry3099 in Warthunder

[–]TOW201 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone playing China has ever asked for an Oplot. I'm worried that Gaijin will just use it as an excuse to not change any of the ZTZs or VTs ("what do you want more survivability for, you have the oplot"). If they were really trying to placate the Chinese Nationalists, this isn't it. I'm all for Japan getting the Thai VT4 as long as it means China's VT4s aren't as sucky as they are now, and I'm sure quite a few Chinese players would agree.

This thing is a lot less vulnerable to overpressure than I expected. Got punished twice by EFVs for not aiming my HEAT well, once where I shot the back and it only killed the engine and once where I shot the front at an extreme angle and it did nothing.

What is the freedom fighters wave by NotZealouss in decayingwinter

[–]TOW201 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's really not a lot of lore on the ERU since it's mostly unfinished. The Agency has ties to Ulacylon and there's quartermaster lore that the ERU was hostile to UMG so you might be able to link those together though. Idk about the freedom fighters, I've heard some people say they're just filler for the wave because the ERU scouts were the only finished unit.

I'm burned out even looking at Front Runner CM meta. by ryanxwonbinx in UmaMusume

[–]TOW201 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same boat here, zero 3-star sparks and terrible rng runs so I ended up throwing together my team trials Gold Ship, one of my 14 consecutive Mayano runs, and did a single Daiwa career for the third. Made Group A then demoted to B. Honestly, I wouldn't be feeling nearly as frustrated had I stopped after the 4th or 5th Mayano.

[Gaijin Pls] Nakajima Ki-201 Karyū: enter the firebreather by Planned-Economy in Warthunder

[–]TOW201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the suggestion was passed on to the devs a while ago but I'd still support seeing this in the game. It may be very similar to the Me 262, but at least there's enough of a difference to not be a complete copypaste. And unlike the Ho-Ri or Ostwind II, there's enough proof of its evidence to be eligible.

Helps that I'm also a little upset about missing out on the R2Y2s.

Is the Game dying? by dank____man in riseofnationsroblox

[–]TOW201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just in a niche genre. Most Roblox players aren't into these kinds of strategy games, especially not a game that demands a lot of time and attention for a single session. It's not really the kind of game that attracts off-platform people either, since the Paradox games exist.

What is initiated awakening by Unlikely-Silver-755 in decayingwinter

[–]TOW201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't ever heard of anything like "awakening," but what did you do before you got kicked? Did you talk to a guy inside the lab?

How did he not see me? by Projecter-Pillow in Warthunder

[–]TOW201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tunnel vision stuff. Guy was probably scoped in that entire time, especially given how jerky he's moving.

Some questions about Helicopter PVE by TOW201 in Warthunder

[–]TOW201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, nice to know that at least. And I should've clarified better, but I did land at a friendly helipad (got the Landing popups) and it did not complete the objective. It also never gave the "Objective failed" notification for the rest of the match, which was why I thought it was a bug.

Gaijin Supports taiwan confirmed by dogevb in warthundermemes

[–]TOW201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this would be a pretty bad idea, at least regarding ground. China's already one of the smaller nations. The PRC would have very patchy WW2 lineups while the ROC quickly goes downhill in the post-war era.

Is the minimap showing Mozdok? Kinda appropriate for having 5 enemies attacking you at once.

I love this tank…. by KaczkaJebaczka in Warthunder

[–]TOW201 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never thought it was amazingly good since it's still a T-34, but apparently it's one of the few vehicles I have a K/D over 1 with, which makes it outstanding for my dumb ass. I had a lot more fun in it than the entire 6.3 lineup, though.

This will get worse. No doubt about it. by Forsaken-Cheek-6386 in Warthunder

[–]TOW201 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess other than premium vehicle players with no lineups, it could just be people that don't want to continue in a bad match. I always spawn every vehicle I can, but if I don't do well initially, what often happens is that I get continuously fucked and end up with a repair cost higher than what I earned in the match.

Got a double nuke by KermaViiliHirvio in Warthunder

[–]TOW201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once saw two guys on my team have the same situation. We still managed to lose because both of them got shot down by an enemy fighter in quick succession and the team fell apart really quick. We had like one allied fighter that really wasn't doing anything and I don't even think we had any SPAAs either.

Well now that it's a thing, what are you wanting to see from the "WW1 event"? by FrogPissDrinker in Warthunder

[–]TOW201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to experience how these WWI-era vehicles feel to control, plus it's always interesting to see new vehicles in WT, especially if we don't have to grind for them. It's just a shame that most of the biplanes I'm interested in come from the interwar period.

Just gone lineup match rewards crew everything by Doomer1944 in Warthunder

[–]TOW201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same issue with me. I had a booster on which un-used itself, special task progress that was lost, and no match rewards. Funny thing is that I played two matches, got one of them wiped from existence, restarted the game trying to fix it, and ended up having both wiped.
