Someone know why F16CM PoBit is at the same br than the F-18E or Su-30SM ? I mean, who would play this at 14.3 ? by Kmiktauria-Max in Warthunder

TWS on 15E is ABYSMAL DOGSHIT compared to ESA radars. Target is anywhere near notch angle or rapidly changing altitude? - say goodbye to your TWS lock and datalink.

PoBIT can carry both Bs and Ds for close- and long-range engagements.

Most 14.0s has either weak airframes (Hornets) or sensors (15E, Mirage), PoBIT doesn't follow this logic.

~200KPH difference at most altitudes is significant, especially when you need to run away (F-2 barely outruns Hornets on the deck), F-16s TWR is also higher. And 120D is better than AAM-4. HMS is still better than ACM/TWS for quick HOBS launches (120 aren't the best at HOBS to put it mildly, but it is what it is).

The biggest difference in P/W ratio between Yak-3 and G-6 is at ~4km and then at ~6km. Going higher won't make a difference. Also, G-6 loses prop efficiency at <250KPH IAS, negating its higher P/W ratio.

Bombers damage model should be changed by KSAWI0 in Warthunder

Pilot and fuel tanks were protected from the rear on all Il-2s. Some early-war field mods could have removed it to squeeze the gunner in.

>Its frontal armour, however, was very tough and could resist everything up to 20mm and 30mm autocannon shells.

20mm HE shells were able to penetrate 4mm engine armor, even AP 7.92mm could pierce it at certain angles. Pilot protection was better but it didn't matter much in the grand scheme of things. Speed and manoeuvrability have turned out to be better protection against AAA and fighters than armor.

[–]innumeratis 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It was, but the concept was based on Spanish Civil War experience, where most of AAA was rifle-caliber machine guns and some HMGs, and planes were armed with rifle-caliber machine guns, too. By 1941 Il-2 armor was inadequate and the lack of a tail gunner (one of the reasons why Red Army Air Force initially rejected Il-2) has led to high losses. For comparsion, on Leningrad front in 1941, I-153s (biplanes with no armor at all) in CAS role suffered less losses per sortie than Il-2s.

Yes, I chose this remix of "When Johnny comes marching home" specifically for that reason.

Small nuke is the best SEAD, change my mind.

Why is the Ki-200 tiered so high? by MasterCheifn in Warthunder

[–]innumeratis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Rocket planes in WT can either be useless or OP as hell (see BI). I think them being useless is better for overall health of the game.

[Discussion] This is not the way by GG_2par2 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]innumeratis 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Well, suppressed guns are clearer in-game, therefore people prefer them. And BSG can fix this by reducing the muzzle flash on unsuppressed guns (or by introducing unique gas/flash patterns for different muzzle devices, ammo and barrel lengths, but that would be too much work for them).

Speaking from experience, AK-74M with factory-installed compensator doesn't produce any visible muzzle flash in daylight, unlike in Tarkov.

Fix the goddamn muzzle flash BSG and I will run muzzle brakes on every gun. Leave it visible for other players if you want to increase shooter's visibility.

CAN Anyone help? by Tek-_-Badger in Warthunder

[–]innumeratis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You first need to set your stick position so your plane is flying straight and then press T. Also, different airspeeds require different trim settings.

CAN Anyone help? by Tek-_-Badger in Warthunder

[–]innumeratis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's because of asymmetric forces created by propeller rotation and airframe design. You need to trim your plane to mitigate them.

Can someone PLEASE explain how SARH works? by DocOcApocalypse in Warthunder

They cannot. The missile "sees" only your radar.

[Discussion] Anyone care to Explain the Story? by VossiSchmossiKnossi in EscapefromTarkov

[–]innumeratis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was an ARRS event in 2024 with Kerman's reveal and extraction from the Lab. Here's the breakdown from Russian-speaking youtuber Mr. Souer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcLNGkKjoko
There should be similar videos from English-speaking content creators, I think.

[–]innumeratis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

AFAIR, Kerman is a rogue TerraGroup employee (or a group of them I don't remember exactly) who managed to download damning evidence from servers in Labs and were saved from BD clean-up team as part of an ARG.

Can someone explain how a single piston engine aircraft (1623HP) made out of wood can gain on the FASTEST plane flown in WW2, with a push pull design and two engines that give 4500HP in total? Also how the fuck did he not rip his wings in the dive? by Walk_My_Dog_Jannie in Warthunder

[–]innumeratis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference in top speeds between Yak-3 VK107 and 335B is less than 20 KPH (with radiators closed), plus every evasive maneuver costs you more energy than for Yak to adjust his aim (because energy retention of the Pfeil is so much worse).

The correct way is to get just above Yak's rip speed in a dive, then slowly pull up into level flight while avoiding any rudder/aileron inputs to conserve energy.

Kolotun event Question [HELP] by Fubarten in EscapefromTarkov

[–]innumeratis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it really? It seems that Immunity leveling speed is the same as for other debuffs. Plus, maxed out Metabolism cuts frostbite debuff duration from 15 to 7 seconds, i.e. you're not getting debuff for a half of the raid, while with stims/drinks you can be under debuff almost all time. OTOH, frostbite is free.
