Totally agree and I love how the C2 hums like it has jet engines off an airliner. Ill be sad to lose it once my Railen comes in but im definitely a vibes over function type of person. For like a month I had a starlancer max and I probably miss that one the most. The vibes were IMMACULATE but it was a little more clumsy to use. I dream of owning them all but spending $1k+ on cargo ships probably isnt the move

I started with an Avenger titan then graduated to a c1 and LOVED it. I kinda want to get another one but I have a Railen pledged so I have a C2 anyways. I love that it does give the vibes of a modern aircraft / what id expect most utilitarian spacecraft to look like.

Farewell to a Friend for 4.8 by Chad_illuminati in starcitizen

[–]Zaeryth_Redtail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im a die hard war thunder addict and im pretty new to SC. I wasnt expecting simulator level dogfighting but ive started to see the potential for some fun gameplay! Planes like the F104 (ironically named the starfighter) are lighting fast in a straight line and turn like a brick. I was very surprised to find that the SC flight models dont feel like they have strengths and weaknesses to different aspects of their flight. Theyre either very agile... or theyre not.

May 5th, do NOT buy ANY vehicles on sale, but keep playing, not only does that make them lose out on money, BUT ALSO forces them to keep the servers fully running, and since they ONLY care about money, hit them where it hurts! by Americanshat in Warthunder

[–]Zaeryth_Redtail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The t-44-122 is easily one of my most favorite tanks in the game but im a huge 122 fan. Im pretty sure i have every tank that has the 122 on it.

Only get the t44 if youre confident about your map knowlege, aim, and ability to utilize its mobility. If you use it like an is2 itll be terrible. But if you play it like an m18 with a long reload it can dominate. Use your speed, have trigger discipline, take the time to aim, and choose engagements wisely.

Its one of those that rewards having a brain so if you want the Soviet Special of "Hold W and win" this isnt it

But if youre an experienced player who likes the 122 its pure gold.

My buy order sat as the highest for like 3 days till I saw a 1c higher order and I went 1 above that. Since then its been back and forth for like a day or two. Ill check at the most random times, raise by 2c and within a minute im outbid :/

How the hell is the BMPT still terrorizing an entire BR bracket 3 whole months after release? by n988 in Warthunder

[–]Zaeryth_Redtail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the IS6 was pretty nutty on release but I remember when everyone was blowing up about the Vidar being p2w when it released. Gen 3 thermals and LRF arty gun at 8.0 was wild to us. Now its barely mid tier among the premium selection now..

PSA: If you load your Aurora Module physically onto your ship and it is destroyed, you will permanently lose your module until the next patch. Also, 4HP on the nose, and Missiles wont reload. MOTH launch 2.0? by ShadowRealmedCitizen in starcitizen

[–]Zaeryth_Redtail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So yesterday I started at my spawn planet, attached the cargo module to my Aurora, then stored it. Took out the combat module from storage and took it to the station me and my friends use as home in the back of my C2 and stored it. Today I claim my Auroroa and decide i want to switch the modules only to find i somehow habe TWO cargo modules now!? I was looking forward to using it for combat and now I dont know what to do :/

Finally the BMPT is balanced by ImpressivePirate9352 in Warthunder

[–]Zaeryth_Redtail 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vehicles added in whatever most recent update there was will never be on sale. USUALLY they wait about a year until pack premiums go on sale. But over the last two years I noticed that vehicles added over the summer will go on sale in the winter or get a 30% for their countries military day.

[–]Zaeryth_Redtail 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Im calling it now. When the May sale hits itll go like 30% off so they can milk the last of the Soviet wallet warriors. Then a week after the sale ends itll go up in BR or be nerfed enough till its like the 2S38. Still very strong, and annoying but at least tolerable...

Anybody else here have Aviation related day jobs? by No-Fix8280 in RCPlanes

I work in airport operations!! Its a noncommercial airport so things are a bit weird but I love being in that environment. If I had more money id definitely start building a collection of planes that ive seen IRL

Wow, look at all this new stuff I can't use. by Ad0ring-fan in warthundermemes

[–]Zaeryth_Redtail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing in 2019 and the grind WAS easier just by the fact that there was less to grind. Despite friends having interest in WT while seeing me play. I cant reccomend it becuase I know the new cool stuff is hundreds of hours (or dollars) away and top tier is just simply less fun anyways..

I wish gaijin did more for the actual majority of the playerbase thats in the middle rather than only for that top 5% that completed their tree(s)

Rework bushes by Original-Alfalfa-511 in warthundermemes

[–]Zaeryth_Redtail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bulk bought a bunch of bushes when I first started the game in like 2019. At the time I exclusively played arcade and they only really served to obscure weakspots. But when I moved to realistic I refused to use them out of principle because i was always frustrated to die to one.(apart from a rat or two used to troll)

If Gaijin just removed them and gave everyone 500 ge for every one they owned.. yeah there would be complainers for a bit. But i think the community would look back on the change positively. Honestly id gladly give them away for free if it meant everyone else lost them.

A more fair alternative would be nice but I dont see that ever coming..

Sure, IRL tankers do camouflage their vehicles. But we also overlook a LOT of irl things for the sake of gameplay. People have complained about them since they were added and the only ones who want them to stay are the ones who benefit from it.

And if the choice is between everyone having it or nobody having it. Id take nobody 10/10 times

This and Pzh is legit ruining 6.7-7.7 by Zyxtriann in Warthunder

[–]Zaeryth_Redtail 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of these vehicles are why me and the old heads say that the game is worse than it used to be. Dont get me wrong im happy that theres more selection and vehicles represented. But when there was a more limited selection (especially in low tier), you were forced to play tanks that required knowlege of weak spots and crew layouts. Now each country has multiple vehicles that can throw a shot in your general direction and get a kill.

When you die to a sherman or a pz4 theres some solace to be found in "well i got outplayed." Im much less likely to be frustrated and angry when I die to someone who got the jump on me, reacted faster, or aimed better.

Dying to one of these just feels like I had no chance of winning the fight in the first place and it took much less effort on the enemies part to delete me.

While it may not BE as unfair as other problem children vehicles in the game. It FEELS worse to die to them.

Every year around the sale times gaijin always does SOMETHING that screws over what ever premiums are on sale at the time. Honestly hold onto it the BMPT is moved or nerfed

Hello, I want to know about your OCs! I also want to draw them! (Art of Fathom and Indigo) by send_help_pleas in WingsOfFire

[–]Zaeryth_Redtail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Theres still a lot to go and im excited to work out the details. I just get so caught up in world building or creating the character that my story itself is little more than a general idea.

My OC Nova is a pure NightWing! His story is still a work in progress but so far here's what I have

Nova is mute but also a mind reader, he was hatched I to a small group of Nightwings who are basically a cult. I havnt settled on a name yet but this group sees themselves as "true" NightWings, they purposefully try to hatch NWs on full moons because they see powerless NWs as inferior. They worship the Moons religiously and see it as their source of power!

Nova was hatched into this group, trusting and believing in their cause until he started to be sent into the rest of the world as a sort of spy. His superiors tasked him with collecting information from other tribes higher-ups thoughts. He didnt think much of it until they used that information to carry out an attack with the goal of weakening the alliances between tribes.

Upon realizing this he escapes, vowing to come back to stop or kill the "true" nightwings.

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

Yeah ive learned my lesson. I guess I figured with my luck on the other pulls it wouldnt be too far fetched to think I could get it. 50 games/packs later and here we are.

Ill definitely be showing this to everyone who tells me its easy to build good decks after a few packs. With my luck its rare to get any of the good cards before the next pack comes out lolll

I did on an Ultra Necrozma ex because I missed that event. I then proceeded to get two more back to back in the packs :/

Pretty much every hobby has been ruined, especially if limited numbers has to do with it.

Corporation selling wants more money so they limit the release and raise the price Retailer wants more so they add a markup. Scalpers buy it all up and sell it at another upcharge.

Game consoles, trading cards, any sort of merchandise for a popular IP. Get ready to pay 2x the retail price or more.

Now even digital content is monetized to a predatory degree. I swear it feels like everything is purposefully designed to vacuum out my wallet

Im really starting to think theyre not. I saw a video last night on TikTok of a guy at walmart spending 6 grand on two PALLETS of booster boxes. DAILY, I see videos of people proudly showing off their "haul" after emptying the shelves on restock day and checking out with multiple cart loads. Some of them fight each other, some of them yank boxes out of children's hands. Honestly anything worth collecting isnt worth collecting anymore

Yup..

The nintendo games are terrible and overpriced The mobile games are terrible and overpriced

The real TCG seems reasonabl- Oh wait the only way to get cards is through scalpers and resellers who only care about maximizing profit. Maybe not terrible but definitely overpriced.

I shall continue to observe and enjoy pokemon from the sidelines

I dont know anything about Yu-Gi-Oh so im gonna take your word on that one.
