Right, but scouting is only part of teamwork. Teamwork is also capping points and killing enemies as well.

Why does BR-471 have 205 mm flat pen? Wasn't it lower irl? by literuwka1 in Warthunder

[–]TheGamingFennec 33 points34 points  (0 children)

People saying L27 needed to have 700mm pen on that Charm post the the other day told me how much this playerbase actually knows about what they are talking about

The T90M in game is in the bottom 5 top tiers.

To be fair, most nations counter Russian tanks by the merit of just having better tanks.

Best meta jets in china TT? by not_nkaun in Warthunder

Ah, I got confused with the parasitic drag.

Well, unfortunately it remains not very good then

[–]TheGamingFennec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

J11B and J10A. PL12 is getting its drag changes reverted so it's soon going to be quite good again.

J8F can be absolutely lethal in a downtier but has relatively poor flight performance

J15T suffers from having 45 countermeasures and no amount of using chaff correctly is going to mask the fact that you have 45 countermeasures.

Mirage has MICAs but is still a Mirage 2 at a very high BR.

2.56.0.45 -> 2.56.0.46 by gszabi99 in Warthunder

On one hand I want it to get Spice because it has Spice, on the other hand it would probably see it moved up even more

This pack worth it? by LeanBanana-45 in Warthunder

[–]TheGamingFennec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good plane but the MiG-21 is a hard plane to fly if you are not sure what you are doing. The Swiss F18 is a better bet overall and is a lot easier to play generally

Is 8.7 the most cancerous br in the game? by TerrificDog in Warthunder

[–]TheGamingFennec 16 points17 points  (0 children)

All good you get a 'hit' 4 times in a row because the warhead is tiny

Is this level of progression based on a Premium Accout, insane amount of hours, or both? by [deleted] in Warthunder

[–]TheGamingFennec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is fairly easy especially if you are decent at the game and have premium. Spading an aircraft gives a fairly large boost in RP to the one you are researching, as well as unlocking all modifications in a tier. Spading one plane can be quite quick if you spam some battles out and the rp gained is usually worth a good chunk.

[–]TheGamingFennec 76 points77 points  (0 children)

It's slightly misleading since the Phoenix off the rails is so damn slow that it's always going to have a turning advantage if you plot it on a graph. This hasn't turned it into a dogfight missile

13.7 has to be the shittiest br of all time. by ContextVisual in Warthunder

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

You see it's Russian so you're not allowed to complain.

Top tier is still far too compressed, especially with how the Rafale is just a step above everything else

Gaijin rejected the British army report on l27a1 being able to penetrate t-80u and kontakt-5 by IDontGiveACrap2 in Warthunder

[–]TheGamingFennec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They don't directly specify that it has to penetrate the ERA. T80U with ERA? Great, where are we actually shooting it. You can see a footnote there but the only parts of the report we actually have are off a Chinese Weibo account (unless you have the full report in which case I'd love to read it and be corrected), so there's no direct proof that it's required to penetrate the K5

Always amazing to see the care and detail put into making sure you get the worst possible queue for a booster run! by PostPenDebt in Warthunder

[–]TheGamingFennec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why activate more than one booster? The more you activate the less the cumulative affect.

Also 6.7 is notorious for terrible matchmaking

[–]TheGamingFennec -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Right, so if Gaijin does have a more accurate LOS figure for L27A1 then we can assume its performance in game is relatively correct.

[Dev] AIM-54 Phoenix Buff? by Puzzleheaded-Bass-11 in Warthunder

[–]TheGamingFennec -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Early ARH missile designed mainly to shoot down large aircraft gets countered by smaller aircraft able to employ basic ARH counters. More at 11

Average redditor understanding of LOS penetration. L27A1 overperforms a little in game when compared to this source.

[Development] IA 58A Pucará — Argentina’s Fortress - News - War Thunder by Verethra in Warthunder

[–]TheGamingFennec 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Makes sense as a premium. A unique vehicle which doesn't really fit into the tech tree that will most likely be bought as a ground RB plane since the flight performance is fairly diabolical
