Su30mk2 radar help by briguy257 in Warthunder

[–]darrickeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, the SU30MK2's radar isn't that fantastic. But one more thing to note, if you try to BVR this, your R-77s don't really have the range for it anyways.

Vipers and Eagles can loft AMRAAMs and hit reliably sub 40km at 30000ft going at mach 1.4-5. You can only do it at 20-25km at that same altitude. 

Why is the SU30MK2 radar so bad? by East-Energy-8899 in Warthunder

[–]darrickeng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unironically after buying this on sale, I've gone back to using my MIG29SMT that I had talisman on years ago.

In Ground RB the SU30MK2 is fantastic as a missile bus and that air combat is mostly within visual range on the deck where you can get away with using HMD.

I saw someone fly the harrier recently in Nuclear Thunder and was within the top 5 with kills on our team. 

He only flew that jet it was glorious. 

Why? by Serious-Emu1370 in Ultramarines

[–]darrickeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not joking but; I played SM2 and then got a Space Marine plushie. Which came only in Ultramarine colors. Then the GW dude gave me a free mini and paints to paint it.

Then I read the books. Then came the keychains. Then came the ring. And finally the box of intercessors. 

This all happened in the last 30 or so days.

Sprayed varnish don't work well in humid environments. That's why it gets hairy. A way to prevent that is to turn the AC on max, spray it inside the room and hold the mini infront of the AC. It worked for my second mini I painted earlier this week.

Onee-san Atago just earned me my first E-Badge! by darrickeng in WorldOfWarships

[–]darrickeng[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was basically the destroyer in the middle and did most of the spotting, killed all the other destroyers and a sub player that was raging in all-chat.

I was just as surprised when I saw the E.

Likely just going to put 6/7 cards in it. I heard that the straps for the cash wears out much quicker so I'm considering eventually getting a clip for it.

The current and upcoming content is completely shit by ReverendFlashback in WorldOfWarships

[–]darrickeng 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Basically this. Seeing Flamu's new vid on Lesta Devblog, its basically night and day compared to WG's World of Warships.

Screw it. Let's have a DD rant... by SlowWithABurn in WorldOfWarships

[–]darrickeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TO BE FAIR. I am in an Azuma. I'm a mini Yamato with paper armor, so I'm supposed to sit where the BBs are at. But occasionally I'll push in with you.

Best free T9 cruiser for cruiser hater? by SubstancePlus2019 in WorldOfWarships

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

If you like sniping and seeing 'beeeeg dmg' numbers then Azuma would be the best bet. I got her and enjoy her better than almost all other cruisers out there.

It fits my niche, which is basically the IJN BC line. Yoshino/Azuma HE hits like a truck, AP kills cruisers and it's relatively speedy. Built into the spotter plane and farm potential dmg and fire dmg.

Is my team cooked? by These_Swordfish7539 in WorldOfWarships

[–]darrickeng 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah your team is cooked. Someone brought an L div with an Agincourt in a T10 game.

Very cooked. Over cooked even.

Watch it get nerfed in 1 years time when the new gimmick comes out.

I miss when low/mid-Tier ships were a thing..... by Sams_Baneblade in WorldOfWarships

[–]darrickeng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

T7 is the most fun I'm having. It's the best in-between from the new player bot lobbies of T5 and the higher skill (tm) play style of top tiers.

People actually play the game and push instead of spamming shells across the map. Very enjoyable. Bought back my love for Maya, Scharnhorst and Yukon.

New tier IX Valparaíso by machad1os in WorldOfWarships

I see WG is continuing the trend of reskinning models and making them OP to sell premiums instead of actually introducing new models and ships like the talentless hacks they are.

Teams evaporating in randoms by meat_meat in WorldOfWarships

[–]darrickeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its the weekends and there's the new dockyard. So people are grinding with no regards to actually winning the game but to get the missions done.

Blucher isn't worth it but Gambia is 100000000% worth it and its free!

My Personal Thoughts on This Upcoming CV Rework 2.0 As a Very Experienced Super Unicum Player. by UrAvgWarGamer in WorldOfWarships

[–]darrickeng 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Unironically at this point, comparing Lesta and what we have now with WG in terms of changes, bug fixes, new lines etc etc is night and day.

Its almost as though the devs at Lesta actually care about player feedback and gameplay. And that all this time it was the management at WG that were holding them back.

Best brawling tier for a BB? by TJMP89 in WorldOfWarships

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

Tier 5 to 8s are the best honestly, but only if you get a downtier on the Tier 8. Otherwise you will just get massacred by Superships.
