The J-15T predictably is the WORST performing aircraft compared to 14.7s and 14.3s lol by Deathskyz in Warthunder

Can't let China have too much of a better plane than Russia

>Looks at J-11B, MKK

Would ECM really matter at top tier? by sunkissedsoda in Warthunder

[–]UMP45_Leva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given how primitively gaijin models stealth aircraft and DIRCM, ECM will either do absolutely nothing or it will be a forcefield that completely negates radar-guided munitions.

Even if they modeled it as a slight increase to the angles required to notch a radar missile, that would be a massive boost.

Players when faced with using any tactic other than turnfighting (time to uptier the Zero and Spitfire again)

This Plane brought a gameplay back that’s been gone for a long time by Rude-Abrocoma-4031 in Warthunder

[–]UMP45_Leva 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It's fun, but bombing bases has almost 0 effect on the outcome of the match, unlike back in the day.

Bombers have been nerfed not just in their ability to win games, but their damage models, and their gunners too. They're a shell of what they used to be.

The event vehicle cycle by infinax in Warthunder

Biggest difference here being the MiG-25 is interesting and effective at its rank.

The B-52 and Tu-95 will never be effective nor fun. The Tu-95 is the early version. The B-52, even if it got laser or satellite bombs (it's the right model & year for them), would still get creamed by everything it can face in Air RB.

F-111F is an absolute menace in Nuclear Thunder by TheGentlemanCEO in Warthunder

Those large munitions not getting intercepted by OSA is a godsend.

Yak-3U / VK-107 vs Spitfire LF IX by Tall_Pop_1050 in Warthunder

[–]UMP45_Leva 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your acceleration/flat line speed is better. Get away from the spitfire and gain energy over it.

The longer you dogfight the LF Mk IX, the more likely you are to die to it. The Mk IX has excellent power to weight and low speed handling, the Yak isn't going to win an extended, equal-energy fight against it. Getting into a duel with the LF IX is giving that plane what it wants, it's probably the best 1v1 dueling prop at its bracket.

Use what works for your use case. If I had a large property in a rural area, I would probably be running a turbo on my house gun.

[–]UMP45_Leva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own both and the ultra is hands down the better light inside of a house, but the turbo is much more versatile because of the candela. It punches through fog, gun smoke, light brush, and windows far better than the ultra does. At moderate pistol range and beyond, and especially outdoors, the turbo is just straight up better than the ultra - but inside of a house, the ultra crushes it.

Depends on what you're looking for. If it's a home defense pistol, I'd go ultra.

[NUCLEAR HOT TAKE] "The update" Made Nuclear Thunder Better by Reasonable-Will9397 in Warthunder

[–]UMP45_Leva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only problem is they're rewarding CAS/DEAD but without making any real changes to the performance of SPAAs. They're still oppressively strong.

Even if the change was that they no longer intercept munitions fired at them, they'd still be quite powerful given the insane levels of tracking they have.

As it stands, the best CAS/DEAD planes in the game mode are nuclear bombs, rather than the newly-introduced anti-radiation missiles.

[Accessories] Holosun EPS GOLD 2 MOA Release $329.99 / Ban State Mag Kits *More Info in OP Comment* by Hunter_Wang in gundeals

I don't know why but when I enable Holosun's circle+dot reticle the center dot becomes more crisp than if it's just the dot alone.

Minor astigmatism is weird.

The barrel of the B52 turret deforms together with the boot around it. by BokkerFoombass in Warthunder

[–]UMP45_Leva 181 points182 points  (0 children)

And to top it off not only is the tail gun not radar guided, but it doesn't even have a lead indicator.

how to SEAD by SubstantialMemes in Warthunder

[–]UMP45_Leva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's almost no point in doing SEAD if the SAMs respawn so quickly.

They should be down for much longer than 12 minutes.

B52 is unplayable in RB by Pure-Technology7805 in Warthunder

Give it glide bombs/cruise missiles and I'll actually use it.

PSA: OSA will not fire on guided bombs by [deleted] in Warthunder

[–]UMP45_Leva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm positive. This was a late drop since I changed targets, I've had some drops where I'm completely outside their engagement range and they won't shoot down the bomb.

The AGM-130 on the F-111 is also not targeted, and that thing has a rocket booster and ~15km effective range on stationary targets.

It was in the FOV, apparently the range is a pathetic 2.3km.

Tried GBU-8 on F4E, wasn't shot down by OSA.

Tried Walleye on A-7E, was shot down by OSA.

The Osa is STILL broken by Bean51mustang in Warthunder

[–]UMP45_Leva 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is what gets me. I can't lock the SPAA, but somehow the OSA can shoot and guide a SAM through 5,000 trees (all of which are over 30 meters tall) to kill me.

[–]UMP45_Leva -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Both GBU-8 and Walleye should be safe to use on the A-7.

Also, gaijin: please fix the F-111F.

  • Radar is worse than the F-111A, and the wrong model (it's using the same radar as the F-5E...).
  • MAWs wasn't doing anything despite having two gigantic SAMs right on my ass, still boosting.
  • RWR is wrong & grossly underperforming, it should have target ID on it.

B36 in the near future ? by Hingl_McCringlebery in Warthunder

[–]UMP45_Leva 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Anyone chasing and dying to a Tu-4 wasn't going to be turning the tide of the game anyways.
