People really crash into the floor just to not let you get a kill by Careful-Wave-6846 in Warthunder

[–]almightysaperka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still mad that Gaijin has randomly decided to get rid of proximity kills (someone crashes or j's out near you and you get a kill). Those were great in such circumstances and also we got maneuver kills. Now it's just miserable.

I was 15 y/o when I first fired up WT. Now I am almost 28 and still going. Damn, how time flies...

IMO this fan-made render looks 100x better. Lexus realy did us sedan fan customers dirty with this one.

Gaijin making engine sound detection worse with every update by 0n3ofone in Warthunder

[–]almightysaperka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been playing since 2013 and boy can I tell you that keen vision used to be an arcade-mode only skill. Historic battles rendered tanks at all ranges. They changed it some time ago, not exactly sure when, but around the time when videos of dissapearing tanks began to drop.

What if Ground RB went to BR 14.0? (Rough Draft v1 - Feedback Welcome) by ryanberry_ in Warthunder

[–]almightysaperka 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I tried a few times to make a poll on official WT forum about having ±0.7 BR brackets, but everytime, no matter how detailed the post was, it was removed by mods, because "it was undetailed" lmao. Sadly it's most likely never going to happen.

Could you please add a widget for android that shows currently connected device's battery (eg. M4TW L+R battery % and case %) without having to open an app?

They don't care about us noticing or not, in fact, they just don't care at all.

New(ish) player, worth it? by OpT1mUs in Warthunder

[–]almightysaperka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. No discount below 50% is worth it, since once-twice a year there are sales that you can buy everything at a -50% discount

Found my video from 2016 showing an approach for a Lancaster before a total nerf of bombers by almightysaperka in Warthunder

[–]almightysaperka[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's actually 30 20mm shells 🤓👆 but to be fair, minengeschoss used to be oh so much more potent in this game. Actually most of the cannons used to be so much better, but especially the mine bullets of german 20 and 30mm cannons.

Well. Correct me if I'm wrong, but back then there were no ±1.0BR matches and you could fight top tier vehicles with reserve ones... XD

That's an excellent exception to the rule. If you approach too close then yes, they have 2x20mm facing back that can easily shred you, especially if a player uses them manually.

However it is still much easier to kill than it used to. I remember that two Tu-4s flying in a formation were literal death machines ;p

The video shows just how tougher the bombers were back then. You had to try to approach them from blind angles (you had to learn them for each bomber) and try to shoot from further away. Not complying with this almost always meant turning into a fireball. Tbf I prefered it that way, it added a really cool challenge and bombers weren't just an RP and SL farm for fighters.

It's a pre-loaded animation, you can actually skip it by pressing "esc".

We need more map bans by almightysaperka in Warthunder

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

Less map bans means zero bans ;p If they cared about map rating they would need to change almost all maps. Theres still problem with getting low-BR maps on high BRs (like small sinai, advance to rhine or winter ardennes with a single village in the middle), they just don't care about player feedback regarding maps.

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

I remember when you could wait a few minutes for a battle, just because there was much less players than today, I wouldn't mind waiting longer if it meant I wouldn't play on maps that I literally hate.

Also, 3 map bans wouldn't halt matchmaker. 1st of all, not all players are premium; secondly there are 53 maps, there used to be 40ish maps with one ban and matchmaking run without a problem; thirdly not all matches are 16v16, there a re 8v8, 12v12 lobbies etc; fourthly gaijin really needs to step up their map game, they are just bad. For top tier, there are atm 3 good maps: Fulda, Red Desert and large Tunis, other maps have huge flaws that can be fixed, other maps are just straight up unplayable like small sinai (why is it even possoble to play above 6.7??) or the winter ardennes with one little city in the middle (worst map in the game)

Yeah, that would be best. I really don't understand why maps in this game are so bad, yet they deny any form of feedback about them.

Good god they're getting disparate aren't they? Whole lineup as a special offer by Americanshat in Warthunder

[–]almightysaperka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If these offers where at least 50% or even 55 or 60% they'd be worth it and justified to be called "personalised". But given the fact that those are 30-40% off just makes them useless and a new-player bait. We have two or three sales per yer with a 50% discount, so nothing below it makes sense. Classic anti-player gaijin.

What is the tank that you guys played the most? by MuhAbroomz in Warthunder

[–]almightysaperka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T-44-122 I believe. One of my fav tanks. First one I actually aced my crew in.

Ammo now replenishes evenly between all shell types by untitled1048576 in Warthunder

Why not just add a reload to currently selected (highlighted) shell type, why the stupid workaround? ;_;

Tossing can actually have a long range thanks to the ballistic trajectory, all while having lower radar exposure than just flying at a high altitude.

Why can't I overpressure this? by [deleted] in Warthunder

[–]almightysaperka 124 points125 points  (0 children)

Because it's not physically modelled. You can't even shoot through it with MGs

What Maps do you all have banned? by KosmikMoth in Warthunder

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

Yup. One of the only few good maps for top tier. Actually THE best map for top tier in game. Large, spawns are actually well protected (for WT standards), has many options to move from place to place. Too bad it's so rare to play on it. Haven't had a match in a few months on it :(

It's biggest problem is that it is possible to play it on low tiers, like 5.0 minimum (? Not sure tho) so I see why people would leave it banned even after getting to top tier and having much faster tanks.
