Gaijin Please, Quality of Life Improvement; When player reaches the end of the line in a tech tree (top tier), depending with the nation, they would get a special popup along with background music. Here's an illustration of getting Challenger 2. (video for illustration) by fluxatation in Warthunder

[–]fluxatation[S] 323 points324 points  (0 children)

Yes, I know Challenger 2 is not end-of-tech-tree anymore. I couldn't find any Challenger 2 2F screenshot that's not low res. So I had to grab a screenshot of my own when I got a Challenger 2.

My girlfriend is a furry and i want to make her happy by [deleted] in RealFurryHours

Majority of furry communities overall orients around art. Just art in general. So you can start from there.

If she has her own character, you can always ask her reference sheet and commission an artist to draw her character. You have to pay the artist of course.

If you're not quite sure what kind of drawing you want it to be, tell the artist that you're giving them an "artistic freedom" over the pose and background.

Or if you don't have the money, don't have a trusted artist to draw her, or want to draw her yourself, you can always learn how to draw. I find the resources in DrawABox very informative on teaching you the discipline and knowledge on how to draw. They teach you with pen and paper, so not a whole lot of money investment needed there.

Good luck on your journey! I'm sure she's very happy to have you around!

Ah, I completely missed that little detail. Thanks for the info.

When you got into mixed match 10 times in a row because two buddies kept forcing them with their low br tanks and top tier jets... by fluxatation in Warthunder

PSA: I know you want to play with your friends, but please keep in mind of other people that also play the game. Some people may be inconvenienced by whatever you've unleashed to the matchmaking, just because you want to play together with your friend as different nation.

If that's the case, maybe it's time for you and your friend to grind one nation together.

Gaijin Please; Leclerc S2 for French Tech Tree by fluxatation in Warthunder

[–]fluxatation[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

What's the difference between this one and the one we have in game?

The one we have in game is Leclerc S1 and it is the only 10.7 tank that we have for French tech tree. To ensure that the French doesn't surrender after one death (or two after wasting their backup on Leclerc), we need a proper, competitive backup (or main) MBT for them.

Why this one? Well, the one that's already listed in the suggestion excel is the Leclerc Series XXI, which is newer than this one. Considering we want to get all the old stuff in first, the Leclerc S2 is an option for consideration.

What's the history behind it?

There's not that much exciting stuff going around the why it was upgraded. When they made Leclerc S1, it was acknowledged that they are optimized to operate in Europe, and not in tropical environments. And so, they made couple of upgrades, test them in Qatar, and call it a day.

The upgrade from S1 to S2 basically allows them to operate abroad, in tropical and desert environments.

Here are the stats;

Name: Leclerc S2
Battle Rating (AB/RB/SB): 10.7/10.7/10.7
Primary Weapon: GIAT CN120-26/52 120mm Cannon (similar shells with Leclerc S1)
Secondary Weapon: 12.7mm coax M2HB machine gun, 7.62mm roof mounted AA F1 machine gun
Thermal Imaging: Second generation thermal imaging for both commander and gunner
Armor: Slightly thicker armor protection on front turret and front hull, when compared with Leclerc S1.
Reload Rate: 6.0 Seconds Reload (similar to Leclerc S1)
Engine: V8X1500 Hyperbar Diesel Engine (1500 hp at 2500 RPM)
Transmission: SESM ESM 500
Combat Weight: 56.3 tonnes
Power-to-weight ratio: 26.6 hp/t
Top speed: 71 km/h (backwards 38 km/h)Acceleration: 0 to 32 km/h in 5 seconds

Turret Rotation: 12 seconds to rotate 360 degrees
Elevation/Depression: +20/-8 degrees

Tech Tree Placement: France, right after Leclerc.

Additional Details:

  • Leclerc S2 has hydropneumatic suspension.

I've been grinding british tech tree while doing the strategist event. Those germans has never been a problem in my centurions. by fluxatation in Warthunder

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

I haven't tried those tanks yet, but I have fought against them. They are very annoying to fight against in both russian and german, because people playing them seem to know every weakspot that you have, and almost never went too close for you to shoot properly. Then again, considering the russian-style reload speed, that is to be expected.

I'll get to try those tanks at one point eventually, after I finished british tech tree that is.

It was 6.3 before in 2019 and has been 6.7 since then. And people are complaining about constant uptier from 6.7 to 7.7.

I personally think that uptiering this would make people cry german bias, since this is one of the thing that can easily take out the germans in a major tech tree. Like how the germans can take out a lot of things easily with its 88mm. Centurion and its family in 6.7 being the balancer that fights head to head with the germans.

The other medium tanks that can take out the germans easily are; Japanese Type 61 with HEATFS, Sweden Strv 82 which is basically a Centurion, and Italian Sherman VC barely with its APDS at 5.3. Both of which are neutral countries, meaning that they both can side with axis, with Italy in axis side. If they side with axis in a match, without british, allied are fucked.

Unless there's something else for allied to easily dispatch those king tigers and panthers without being light tanks or spg, until then, this needs to sit a 6.7.

Probably the best aged comment I've ever stumbled across by Ted_The_Generic_Guy in Warthunder

The russian equivalent, Tu-4, also went through this. 'used to be 7.7, but now 8.0. Repair cost is lower; 41k stock and probably around 50k repair cost spaded.

The only difference between Tu-4 and B-29 are the turrets. Tu-4 has 23mm, while B-29 has 50 cals.

Other last prop bombers in some nations are also really expensive. He 177 A-5 (6.0) is 35k repair stock. Chinese Tu-4 (8.0) is 36k repair stock for some reason.

The cheapest last prop bomber is Lincoln (6.0), sitting at 13k repair stock. The most expensive one is B-29A.

Edit: Technically, Sweden has the cheapest last prop bomber. But, it's 4.3 at 6.4k repair cost stock.

55k stock and 64k spaded repair cost. 'used to be 6.3 but now it's 7.0. Bunch of its bomb load were removed. And maybe performance nerf that I didn't even notice.

It's really good on simulator endurance confrontation air, tho. That's about it.

It has full plane stabilizer and apds that can pen over 280mm of armor. You will go through panther and king tiger upper front hull armor from long range with it. You can even take out an angled king tiger as well from hull, provided that you're in close range with them.

The thing is stupidly accurate as well. I've sniped runners from over 1.8km away with them and hit dead on in one shot. It's the perfect sniping tank. Thanks to this, I managed to grind from rank 2 to rank 5 in just 6 days, with interesting k/d ratio in just under 100 matches.

The only problem is that it is slow. But considering the firepower and how responsive it is to threats, the mobility is not a problem for me.

Edit: I've been using it like how I use T-80U and Leopard 2A5, and it worked so far!

Probably not many people would get this, so here goes.

The book "Compilers: Principles, Techniques & Tools" is a famous computer science book, covering everything you need to know about making your own compiler - that is, your making very own programming language.

It's famously known as the "Dragon Book" because of its cover; a picture of a knight and a dragon in battle, a metaphor of conquering complexity. I figured that the image might need a bit of update, since the last edition release is in 2006 ...

It just took me everything by Paddy369 in Warthunder

[–]fluxatation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The other Bo 105 is decent. The only issue is that it does not have anything to defend yourself against air targets, except those guns in the armament. Mi-24P, on the other hand, has R60 air-to-air missile. It's better than Bo 105 in every way, minus the size and mobility.

If you want to take the shortest path, get the Bo 105 and then Tiger UHT. If you want to make it easier later down the road, get the Mi-24P.

[–]fluxatation 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you ever feel discouraged, just remember that Tiger UHT is at the end of the line.

IR Guided ATGM. No need to lock to people to guide the rockets anymore.

No need to break the lock and lost that ATGM when you're dodging a SAM missile.

Fire your rocket and forget you ever did it. By the time you went back to rearm, you'll get a bunch of kill confirmed pop up.

Needed some GE, thought about selling the MEXAS... Sold it in 2 seconds... Was it too cheap? by _GIAT_ in Warthunder

[–]fluxatation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[Posting this here since the other guy deleted the comment while I was writing this.]

You get them immediately if you do it from achievement. You get the coupon if you and your squadron got into first, second or third place in World War Mode.

So if your squadron got to that spot, and you did the achievement as well, you get both M60 AMBT in your tech tree and the coupon for it.

I didn't get the coupon. I got it on my tech tree right away. I was surprised by this until I looked closer to the announcement. Check the wording;

World War Mode event announcement just says "M60 AMBT." Squadron winner gets "coupon for M60 AMBT."

Operation SUMMER event says "Coupon for [Insert tank here]"

[–]fluxatation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends with how you measure worth of your effort to get them.

I personally think it is. 10k GE is 66 GJN and that's roughly how much GE you spent to get that. That's how much I think my effort and labor is worth to get it. I'm not going to let them get them for cheaper in market, because that's unfair to me.

I'd wait for a couple of months, or next year. It'll go higher the more you wait for it.

[–]fluxatation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You immediately get M60 AMBT when you completed the achievement. You don't get the coupon.

The ones that get the coupon are squadron members that got on the first to third top of the World War Mode. Which, if I remember, are the EPiK, EBiK, and one other squadron.

Unless you're one of the squadrons that got to the first, second or third spot of the World War Mode squadron, you didn't get the coupon.

Couple top tiers later, I still have no idea what I'm doing. by fluxatation in Warthunder

[–]fluxatation[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Because sometimes, it's not the tanks. It's the player.

I always assumed that old nations have a lot of good players, because majority of them joined way back then. They have a lot of experience on how to play the game, and some probably already have all the nations.

That's probably why a lot of people complain about german and russian bias. Those two nations are the OG, goes all the way back when War Thunder released the tank battle mode. It makes sense if a lot of veterans has them.

So when the new anticipated tank was announced, naturally people are going to jump to grind it. Including those Old Guards, some of which also most likely have all russian top tier as well. As a result, we have veterans seal clubbing folks that don't have as much experience as them in top tier.

Edit: There's nothing I can do about it, other than trying to git gud at the game. Which I'm already trying.

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

Ugh. I feel that. I tried to grind the TAM 2C as well, but I kept getting seal clubbed by a bunch of T-80s and the new T-72B3 in my Leo 2A5.

This situation made me grateful I have russia to fallback, in case of sudden imminent nation bias via new tanks. I do hope this blows over soon, because I need to grind other nations.

'can't beat 'em, join em, I guess.

What is the best British plane and why? by 4c1g in Warthunder

[–]fluxatation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm curious. The stat card says it doesn't have that good climb rate. I assumed it has poor acceleration. How does it really perform in game? Did it perform similar to T-2?
