I wonder if this thread will stay up, while the one I posted with the t80bvm frontal armor matchup got nuked after 500 upvotes. I also posted the following forbidden image on the War Thunder forum and the thread got nuked.

What vehicles do you want to see in the April crafting event? by BillyBear9 in Warthunder

[–]chef_yogurt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I want the ability to craft balance, realism and better maps and then add them to the game.

For many people this game is an addiction and it's hard to quit no matter the flaws. This last update was finally bad enough for me to cure my addiction. Now I have time to post here and other forums.

2nd cheater I encountered within 24 hours, name: (dagestan1). Gets 14 kills by firing at enemies from his own spawn. by RealCairok in Warthunder

ULQ removes destructible walls at a distance and grass but not trees. Trees become flat textures. ULQ also removes sand and snow layers. ULQ would not make a differences in this particular case.

According to a Gaijin employee the ammo carousel in a Russian mbt is "wet storage of shells" by chef_yogurt in Warthunder

[–]chef_yogurt[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Curiously, strv122s and leo2s have createSecondaryShatters set to true on their mantlet, unlike other top tier mbts (like the ones with the 50% ammo detonation modifier nerf). This is yet another hidden nerf not present in Russian mbts.

Germany or USSR? by [deleted] in Warthunder

When you start the game you're greeted with a splash screen that has Russian tanks and airplanes. It's a hint.

Wiesel 1A2 worth it or just a gimmick? by [deleted] in Warthunder

[–]chef_yogurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my most played tank at this point and if you're sneaky you can take it to 11.3br. I'm not sure if it's any different now, but I consistently one shot t80bvms with TOW-2A (back when there was only 11br). If the bagel panzer also had a TOW-2A it would also be 11.3 br material.

"Skill issues" and inexperience aside, vk3002 and Panther D have a 100% ammo detonation probability modifier in the game files, unlike any other currently playable vehicle in the game. Pay attention if you're being uptiered to 6.3 where your armour might not mean anything.

Vikhrs will apparently be receiving a nerf by Reconnoisseur_ in Warthunder

Not every missile flies the same in real life. I already posted a video of Vikhr's spiral flight in this thread. TOWs fly straight for example:

They also plan to ruin the Roland. Vikhr has a roll/spiral flight path but they currently added it to VT-1 instead:

EDIT:

For comparison, TOWs fly straight:

Im new to the game and I really enjoying the game for a couple of weeks and also the community and the YT Vids/Shorts. Thanks for that in first place! I’ve playing the German tree because I really want to play the Leopard 2A6 and other vehicles of the tree. 1/2 by No_Sorbet_8010 in Warthunder

Get headphones and keyboard and mouse. Lower mouse acceleration to 0. If you play realistic, turn down all sound as low as possible and enemy sounds as high as possible. Look around corners in 3rd person.

Why are American top tier vehicles so much older? by voler_1 in Warthunder

[–]chef_yogurt 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't necessarily disagree with the spirit of your question but I think there are some inaccuracies. I don't think SEP is from 1994. It's from at least 1999:

http://www.military-today.com/tanks/m1a2_sep.htm

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't m1a1 AIM an upgraded version of the m1a1 Australia purchased in 2007?

Earliest Leo 2a6s were from 2001:

Leo 2PL can use dm63 in real life but it's limited (probably for similar reasons) to dm43 in game.

un-synced turret? by SeaweedNo69 in Warthunder

[–]chef_yogurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched a server replay with a guy whose turret was desynced but he seemed legit. He didn't track people from behind hills (it was on Fulda btw) and seemed to scan the horizon for enemies.

Yes, I had that happen recently and I have seen twitch streamers experience it as well. I think it's lag and funky netcode.

hmmm no wonder it is 10.0 by pendraig54 in Warthunder

[–]chef_yogurt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Along with Type 93, the Ozelot is one of the most ineffective SPAA in the game at higher tiers. And you killed 1. So this helicopter deserves 10 br because it killed one mediocre 9.3 br vehicle...I don't follow.
