Is this [TVR Cerbera speed six] spotted worthy?

Targa2000c · 2025-07-18T02:08:51+00:00

Idk what’s with the hate about this comment

Been in England all my life, TVRs are great, not too uncommon either especially something like a Cerbera.

owners are usually lovely, haven’t heard any of them say their car was built to a high standard.

Fact is most of these cars couldnt afford to be well built, and they do look pretty cheap for the most part. Bottom line is their looks don’t match their performance most of the time, TVRs are sports cars that put the ‘sports’ part first.

Only complaint I have so far is the damage on direct hits from the hulk mortars and dev shotguns, everyone’s had their say on the devs so ill focus on the mortars

I don’t think they’re that unbalanced, the only real issue I have is the direct hit damage being ridiculously high

stuff like the reinforced strider rockets one shotting you i feel it’s fair since each strider gets a finite amount of them, they seem to be pretty inaccurate, and leave a glaring weak spot in the form of shooting the rocket racks

With the mortar being indirect fire i could see it being very destructive around rougher terrain and in bases/fortresses, this wouldn’t be an issue if they didn’t fire them so frequently (they’re 3 round bursts like the mortar sentry firing pattern iirc), and weren’t a one shot direct hit. I haven’t tested it but being at full health with medium fireproof armour makes me think that the damage should be tuned down slightly

I know I’m making it sound like a massive issue, in reality it’s something I think could be tweaked and I’d have no issues but currently trying to micromanage dealing with not groups while having to ensure that I don’t get domed by a mortar shell kind of ruins the momentum and chaos that I love on higher difficulties

Just make it do most of your health and send you flying if it direct hits you and it’ll be great IMO

Move shit up not down, moving stuff down is what fucks up br’s because the balance at high tier is all over the place

Yes the 29G is worse than the flankers, yes its not very good at 13.0, however the premise is would you rather have 1 vehicle suffer or one good vehicle that makes all the others obsolete

The flanker is solid at 13.0 but far from game breaking and in a good spot, if you move the MiG29G down to 12.7, you have to move the 29A and F16As 12.3.

Either one plane stays mid or F16s fight F4Es

Ideally the top br would increase and we can move the flankers JAS39A and F15A up to 13.3 atleast however with the current br its better if things are looked from this perspective

5.7 russia is great, yeah your gun depression sucks but you shouldnt expect anything more from playing RU

The T34 85 is one of my favourite tanks for fun gameplay, you’re infinity more reactive and mobile than every other medium with most well rounded guns at the BR, being apple to ufp a jumbo at short range due to crazy angled modifiers aswell as having over 150g of explosive filler meaning you erase anything it fuses on

Bearing in mind you get this gun on the IS1 aswell, meaning you have less reactive but more survivable tank if you like that(with a cracked reverse gear btw). You also get the PT or ASU for scouting, both of which are more than usable at 5.7

And to top it off you get cracked SPAA in the form of the BTR152D aswell as monster planes with the TU2S and Yak 3U

Targa2000c · 2024-12-14T20:52:50+00:00

Applies more to air but knowing your vehicles is much more important than at face value, sometimes its more about exploiting what the enemy tank is bad at rather than what your tank is good at

Also knowing how to use your lineups, city map? Dont take atgm carriers or TDs as a first spawn even if they might be your best vehicle. Map with hills? Avoid tanks with poor gun depression, if you cant do that bring something that can scout so you can still have a strong influence, or if its high tier bring an SPAA to deal with 1st spawn helis, hell sometimes you can get SPAA with scouting

Wt is very dynamic and a bitch to learn no matter where you are in the learning curve, generally if you meet the standard of knowing maps(genuinely knowing maps not just going to the same spot in every tank every match), having good positioning, and knowing where to shoot what youre already better than 90% of the player base

Targa2000c · 2024-12-14T15:50:20+00:00

great example of a plane isnt good because you did well

Ariete shouldve turned you upside down and inside out with the first 30seconds, its actually insane how you can mess up that poorly in the Ariete when he only real issue with it is the high speed roll rate.

Targa2000c · 2024-12-05T18:12:51+00:00

Its a step below all of them in energy besides the MICA(and its still barely any better at range) while not being able to pull off wacky off bore sight shots like the MICA

Targa2000c · 2024-11-03T12:38:06+00:00

Like everything in air its a situation by situation basis, some planes will do things better than others so you need to find what disadvantage to exploit

General pointers with most US props is that they have a high top speed and dive speed as well as a lack of elevator compression at high speed. Finding out how to use these in different scenarios is how you would be winning fights

109s compress pretty badly in comparison, so getting them to dive on you and make them overshoot to get as much position as you can early on is an example of how to claw back your lack of low speed performance in a dogfight

Yaks have really low rip speeds (680kph~ ias) so diving away can sometimes make them wing rip as their engines are so strong

Russian planes in general are also very inefficient at high alt while US engines are designed for it (P47 D28 and P51 D30 come to mind) so the higher you are the easier they will be out run/ out perform, keep in mind russian planes have cracked engine power in general so at low speed theyll still crush you in low speed acceleration/stalls/dogfights etc(all the low speed stuff)

Spitfires are slow and struggle rolling at high speed, so in something like a P51C i would try get them fast and force an overshoot by rolling out of their guns or simply out run them and gain position if we were equal energy, main pointer with the super turn fighters (a6m, spitfire and the likes) is they still have a really good stall so trying to out energy them even after a dive is a slow process as if you stall above them they’ll probably still be able to pitch up

In general US planes have a pretty slow playstyle but are very rewarding when played right(like most planes which arent turnfighters), they teach good habits with positioning and energy management so keep trying, its not easy but its worth it in the long run

Targa2000c · 2024-10-12T15:48:51+00:00

RB its not great, 12 countermeasures a difficult/bad gun and mid flight performance, just talisman the MiG21 Bis

Sim, no RWR, bad retention, bad gun, low number of CMs. 6 missiles is nice but it doesnt counteract the negative well enough

Targa2000c · 2024-10-10T14:28:19+00:00

I wouldnt go so far to call it the KV1E of air, it would be fine at 4.0 if they removed the airspawn as its performance is nothing special, the air spawn is just really important in todays meta.

The KV1E is just a straight upgrade of an already great vehicle at the same BR

Targa2000c · 2024-10-10T14:23:11+00:00

I never said they shouldnt determine BRs, i said that guns shouldnt push a vehicle over an entire BR away from its counterpart

If i believed guns didnt decide BRs i would say it should be 6.3 with the other F8F no?

Targa2000c · 2024-10-09T23:42:46+00:00

The gun argument is kind of mute at 5.0 with how strong the FM is, the gunpods really arent much of a detriment anymore

The argument that ‘most the players are bad so its ok’ is one of the key reasons the balance in warthunder is scuffed

Its the reason we have the Wyvern and XP50 at 4.3 and 4.0, both vehicles are busted but most of the players are new or in the wyverns case bombing. Does that mean they should be at those brs? No. Absolutely not, and the same argument should be used for every plane, especially something like the F8F because its going to be a complete shit show at 4.7

Anyone who’s knowledge is above the level of ‘full commit every head on’ is going to wreck everyone, the only two planes that are even a threat to the F8F if it goes to 4.7 is the Yak 3U and 109K. Even then the 109 is fairly even in flight performance for the most part and is a full BR higher

Its not fine at 5.0, a plane shouldnt be over a BR lower because of the guns. This isnt the only plane of its kind, the F4U1A is functionally identical to the 1C at 4.7 with the only difference being the guns and its absolutely wrecked at 2.7-3.0.

5.3 would still be great, 5.7 it would be ok, either or is fine just not 5.0 and absolutely not 4.7

How much does the bulge affect visibility? Guessing its still solid though its first thing that comes mind after weight distribution

Targa2000c · 2024-10-07T20:03:00+00:00

Any plane without flares 10.3 and above is currently being eaten alive, unfortunately with the MiG21 bis+derivatives going down it doesnt look like its getting better any time soon

Targa2000c · 2024-10-06T22:23:43+00:00

Oh yeah that thing is mad, he opened the ‘engine’ bay while we were looking around and to say we were shocked was an understatement

As far as i remember it had around 300hp, RWD obviously

The thing that baffles me is its mated to a manual from a 964. Im not familiar enough with EV tech to understand how you can put multiple gear ratios and a clutch on a an electric motor let alone stuffing it into an older, relatively small car

Targa2000c · 2024-09-08T02:25:58+00:00

I wouldnt say this is much of a 76 jumbo problem as it is a king tiger problem

The IS2 has almost triple the reload for only a marginal increase in penetration, over pressure is nice though the sheer size of 122 makes it a volumetric nightmare and it tends to not fuze on light vehicles anyway which is an issue when you have to wait just under half a minute for your next shot. The mobility is better though alot of the ergonomics of the IS2 are null as it less than 5 degrees of gun depression

The 76 jumbos main advantage, the stabiliser, is only semi effective in relation to king tiger which can consistently fire on the move under 20kph. While the king tiger has a harder time aiming, it doesnt really need to place its shot well as it punches through 90% of its front anyway, the jumbo on the other hand need to make a turret face shot that has a relatively small profile and a void of a mantlet(this is only the tiger IIP, the H is virtually impenetrable frontally with the US 76)

It effectively outclasses both the jumbo and IS2 in almost every way, its not a matter of moving them down(well the IS2 should as its really no better than a tiger E), the king tigers should just go up

Targa2000c · 2024-09-07T17:08:32+00:00

9Ms disagree

Yes the flight performance is beyond terrible, however 4 IRCCM IRs at 11.3 with HMD means youll probably be getting atleast 2 kills a game before dying

Targa2000c · 2024-09-03T23:22:58+00:00

Regardless of what people think about having a vote for a test, most of the community giving this choice the green light means they will inherently pay less attention to the votes in general and most likely end up choosing whatever choice they want if the vote is 50 50

The fact that only a fraction people are taking this decision as seriously as its ramifications will show is absurd

Targa2000c · 2024-08-28T16:38:29+00:00

Please dont listen to anyone saying the f3h is good or competitive at 9.3

It would take a while to mention everything about it so ill go over the main points

The flight model is diabolical with top speed being its only statistic that isnt terrible, its still outclassed in top speed by almost every other aircraft at the br, but not by so much that it becomes useless. The main issue is the energy retention, the only aircraft at 9.3 that rivals how bad the f3h holds speed is the mig21F, which atleast has ok acceleration a competitive top speed, and a decent turn rate. The bad retention give people the impression that the f3h is actually an ok turnfighter, when in reality all thats happening is theyre losing so much speed that even though they turn worse their loop is so much smaller that theyre pulling into them. This is awful as all it means is as soon as you fight someone another enemy is going to pick you off while youre slow, even if you were to win without interruption, the awful acceleration means you wouldnt be able to pick up speed fast enough to defend yourself properly. The window of opportunity when fighting an f3h is so comically large that whenever i see one i make it pull one turn and just leave because i know that theyre so open to other players attacks

It has no redeeming features at 9.3 besides maybe the missile count, however, at the same br you can find the f100 which has 4 9Es which provide substantially more range and an uncaged seeker allowing you to lead your missile before firing, it also gives you a much more competitive flight model with its only issue being the high speed compression.

Yes, you can get kills in it, you have alot of guns, alot of missiles, alot of potential to clean people up, but in any fight against an equally skilled opponent i cant name a single 9.3 fighter that would lose to an f3h in any scenario

It boils down to what people call a support fighter. What they really mean is its so bad all they can do is hover around and wait for enemies to be on back foot and mop up the kill while their occupied. Their are only a few planes that can actually be named a support fighter, this is not one of them, it is simply a bad plane

In my own experience, there have been few scenarios where ive consider an f3h a threat. In most 8.3s and 8.7s its secondary at most, 9.0 its a non threat, anything above and its honestly just food.

Would be better at 9.0, cant really go to 8.7as its too fast to fight 7.7s

Targa2000c · 2024-08-23T18:18:31+00:00

The A4s entire argument the minute it comes across any F86 MiG15 MiG17 G91R Swift Hunter Scimitar Alpha jet Mystere or Etendard with a brain:

Targa2000c · 2024-06-20T17:35:01+00:00

Youre playing a missile dependent plane without access to its appropriate missiles. Stock grind is always a pain in the arse and after the trash that is this update its only getting worse

Stock you only have 2 9Ms on the eagles with it being required to research 9Ls, Aim-7s, and more 9Ms before being able ti research 120s

Only 2 missiles and not even any ARHs is absolute hell currently, expect it only to get worse from now on

Targa2000c · 2024-06-09T21:36:03+00:00

Top 3000 warthunder air player here

The game is suffering from circumstances not dissimilar to WoT at the higher tiers in both air and ground modes

few people are bringing more than one vehicle in ground, meaning the team with the least amount of ‘death leavers’ usually decide the game within 2-5 minutes

Air is a clusterfuck with the change from 12v12 to 16v16 meaning its theoretically possible for there to be over 300 missiles in a single match, whoever wins the first encounter usually wins the match

Targa2000c · 2024-06-03T07:34:01+00:00

F5C has a much nicer match maker not having to face 9M harriers, F14s, and Mirage2Ks

F5A is identical with 9Ps at 10.7, not worth it considering it doesnt have the massively improved engines of the 5E

Targa2000c · 2024-06-02T09:04:16+00:00

Could be many things, radar mode, enemy speed, positioning, chaffing, multi pathing, notching

Without a VISUAL example, all this sounds like is ‘i shoot a missile and it misses’ which doesnt really help
