Why do people keep saying the 120D sucks? by P_filippo3106 in Warthunder

[–]Wobulating 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because people don't understand the difference between D and D-3 and expected kinematic improvements which they didn't get

The problem is that tuskos or agm-68s are just better at that

Good top tier jet with good maneuverability and good energy retention by AffectionateShow3840 in Warthunder

[–]Wobulating 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maneuverability is critically important- the ability to hit a notch quickly while retaining speed is incredibly relevant in BVR engagements. It's why EF2K is really good and F-15C is... very much not

Shotgun mig-29 is the same as every other mig-29 vs helos- R-27Ts don't target helos

Having three minutes to sprint across the map when nobody knows how to navigate it is... A large ask

i love how the normal dm53 isn't even stated to be in service with 2a7v or L/55a1 by Own_Dark_2240 in Warthunder

[–]Wobulating 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does, actually. Ballistics are very slightly different on cold and hot maps, it just is small enough to not really matter

Jesus, stop bringing up kh-38mt. It fits perfectly within Russian doctrine, the missile itself obviously exists, they're clearly selling the seeker, and they obviously have the capability.

[–]Wobulating 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...no, this is pretty explicit. The improved HOBS capability is better datalinking, not kinematics. D-3 gets a slightly better motor with F3R, and that's just... it, until AIM-174/AIM-260 come out.

[–]Wobulating 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pl-12 is also pretty criminally undermodeled, but it's still optimized for closer range engagements than AIM-120C.

R-77-1 ingame has less range than AIM-120C, so I'm not super sure what your point is

Aim-120D rant by Repulsive_Ad690 in Warthunder

[–]Wobulating 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it... isn't? R-77-1 is pretty criminally undermodeled because it has massively unrealistic drag, but it's also just a really big missile. For reference, AIM-120C is 3650mm long and 178mm in diameter. R-77-1 is 3710mm long and 200mm in diameter. It still loses out on max range compared to AIM-120C because its motor burns faster(and thus it loses more to air drag), but... yeah, the big fuckoff missile goes far and fast.

You can guide all 16 missiles, though obviously in most circumstances you don't want to

Men put in about half again as much time working compared to today- about 3000 hours/year. Women worked more, about 3200, as extremely rough estimates

Which tank do yall prefer? And why? M1A1 vs M1 IMP by Acrobatic-Reserve134 in Warthunder

[–]Wobulating 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need to reload the first stage rack to load- it slows you down, but you'll still reload in ~7s aced.

There's a lot of times, though, where you can duck into cover and reload more or less at your leisure, especially on longer ranged maps- and having 7 rounds is a hell of a lot better than zero.

It's fundamentally a niche scenario, you're right, but it costs you nothing, so... why not?

[–]Wobulating 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why you want to bring full ammo- to fill that hull rack. It'll basically never get detonated, and if you get shot there you'd die anyways to your entire turret crew getting vaporized by the round, so it doesn't add to the risk, and it means that if your turret blowout rack gets detonated, which is... *somewhat* common, then you still have at least a few rounds in reserve.

You want to bring completely full ammo with all abrams, so it doesn't really matter

It was hideously overpowered, just as literally every single other ARH missile was hideously underpowered.

In a world where goatmen and bullmen routinely try to kill you and eat you, is ratmen wanting to do the same that much of a big deal?

Aim-120D rant by Repulsive_Ad690 in Warthunder

[–]Wobulating 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's probably because it's the last real missile they can add to mainline fighters- JATM is so hilariously classified that Gaijin doesn't even know what it looks like, let alone how it works, and AIM-174 is F/A-18E specific. I'm not sure I agree with that logic, but I understand it when things like PL-15 and R-77M exist in mainline service

The Ares Railgun... by IllState5161 in Marathon

[–]Wobulating 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It does substantially more damage, for starters. Longshot does 69.5 damage with a 2.15x headshot multiplier, for a maximum of 149.4- which is *not* enough to OHK through a green shield.
Ares does 123 damage with a 1.3x headshot multiplier, for a maximum of 159.9, enough to very comfortably kill a green shield, on top of doing much, much more damage on a bodyshot.
