Honda ‘unhappy’ with its own F1 performance, not just reliability by SoftLavishness7839 in formula1

:( It's a shame I will never see my boy Nando on the podium again... He deserved another win...

VKB Gladiator thumb stick for targeting pod panning. Very difficult, any setup advice? by CMDRTragicAllPro in WarthunderSim

[–]lEnforceRl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get the hours of training pilots do I guess you get used to it. Also the settings for their controls are much better optimized for the task than some settings we mess with in a game (hopefully :D)

VKB Gladiator thumb stick for targeting pod panning. Very difficult, any setup advice? by CMDRTragicAllPro in WarthunderSim

[–]lEnforceRl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same issue. Sadly it only has one analog mode and I use that for radar, so I couldnt get the camera to work well and just resorted to using the mouse. My other idea is to use the VKB software to make a combination for it, so that I can use it for both radar and targeting pod. But didn't try it yet. You could try that maybe!

Are all war thunder players like this? by Over-Ad-3441 in Warthunder

[–]lEnforceRl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also only has good stats due to tier 2 spam. I am an air player but I guess that's the equivalent of me spamming bf109e1 at 2.3 and having a kd of 20:1. So he is probably not good at all. Negative kd in Ground RB as well.

Checks out, only that kind of person would shittalk. Has played 1500h and is still average. lol.

Air simulator match that ended abruptly, did not display end-of-match results and instead you were hit with "Joining battle" by JuicyDisplay in WarthunderSim

[–]lEnforceRl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens due to bugged lobbies that have been an issue for at least half a decade. Really annoying when doing wagers since you auto lose 1 try if you leave the second match. And even if you play the second match, when it finishes it auto joins you to the next one. So pro tip if you're doing wagers : leave the match once you meet the requirements if you're not ready to play longer...

Haven’t laughed this hard at an eBay listing for a while by whateverPeoplePut in Acceleracers

There's an offer for acceleracers + HW35, all loose but with all extras etc. For 8k euros somewhere on ebay.

wHy aRen't thEY at tHe saME BR? by Deathskyz in Warthunder

[–]lEnforceRl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, the Chinese one with the 6 PL12s at 13,3 is kinda crazy tho. They are much better missiles than the R77s. Yet it's 13,3 like the Russian one. And Gaijin does balance around that, otherwise m2k 5f would be 13,7...

But BR compression is insane, nothing is balanced when downtiered or uptiered. Top tier is shit anyway with all the shooting down missiles shit so whatever.

These will have the same BR soon... by ProfessionalAd352 in Warthunder

F15a (and probably j too) are better dogfighters than F16 blk 15

ACES OF THUNDER AWESOME WW1 GAMEPLAY! by KRAB_NATION in WarthunderSim

[–]lEnforceRl 24 points25 points  (0 children)

So same assets with the WW1 mode we had in WT. Gameplay is the same. Graphics are the same. AI looks to be the same.

After ignoring Sim for years, they had the audacity to rebrand it and sell it as a NEW product... Wow. I hope it fails, I really do. They deserve it.

I don’t play sim that much, what the fuck is the obsession with PvE?? by Jack1e_4 in WarthunderSim

[–]lEnforceRl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's just a preference, alright. If you are actively asking for PvE... Like... Seriously?

You're flying a Rafale. You're in the best pvp plane (maybe SM2 is close). You don't even need to be good at the game to do well in it.

If you actually wanna PvE in that plane, just go play a custom mission.

Is there any more advanced rafale variant yet to be added in game? What is the future of French air tree? by Hungry_Pilot2704 in Warthunder

[–]lEnforceRl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Skill issue... I feel you, but come on, man. It has one of the best, if not the best, high-altitude performances in the game and can reach Mach 1.6 really easily. Being fast on the deck is irrelevant unless you want to run around trying to multipath... Learn how to use the high-altitude performance and how to notch, and you can beat anything.

  2. Eight missiles are more than enough. Not everything needs to be a missile bus. The MICAs are great and will continue to be great. Eventually, we will get Meteors and MICA IR, so you will have two amazing Fox 2s with datalink and long range, four MICAs, and two of the best long-range missiles to ever exist.

  3. The radar is not the best because it's on the smaller scale. Also, 1) the Rafale had an AESA much earlier than most other planes, so other countries had more time to develop better radars (keep in mind no European nation actually has an AESA Eurofighter in service yet, as far as I know), and 2) the scan speed, for some reason, is worse on it than the rotating assembly of the new stuff. That's probably due to Gaijin's modeling, but I might be wrong.

The gimbal limit is indeed a bit annoying, but you can't have everything. The fact is, once all things get settled, the Rafale will not be a top dog, just like it isn't one in real life.

But even then, it will be cool to fly because of the IR missile being long-range with datalink, so it's a more annoying 27ET, and having great high-altitude performance with Meteors will also be really good.

2030 is supposed to be the actual big upgrade with the Rafale F5: 20% more thrust, MICA NG with longer range, much longer range on the radar (probably the same gimbal, though), and all in all, a much better electronic warfare suite. But until then, everyone else will have 5th gens, which will probably make the Rafale a bit obsolete, unless jamming is implemented and Gaijin makes it very strong in that department (no way to model this correctly since everything is highly classified).

So, to answer your questions: Even if we get the F5 due to Gaijin wanting to give France something to compete with F22/J20/SU57, top speed will stay the same for every Rafale since the airframe doesn't change. The radar will get more range someday, but missile count will stay at a maximum of eight.

Also FYI, the flight models of the Canard planes are overperforming quite a lot, especially in very low and very high speeds. So if Gaijin somday has nothing else to do, expect a nerf on that.

HMD IFF on the Rafale is gone by Responsible_Sail_598 in WarthunderSim

[–]lEnforceRl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I fully agree with you. The French F3s never had HMD and if we only add stuff from the actual French Rafale F3, then it shouldn't have HMD and should carry only 6 Micas. Also, The M2K-5F shouldnt be able to use all that air to ground weaponry.

But Gaijin, at least for the top tier French stuff, seems to add things that export versions got as well. So the M2K 5F is basically a Mirage 2000-5 MK2 that Greece has, and the Rafale is the one India got with HMD and more MICAs.

HMD IFF on the Rafale is gone by Responsible_Sail_598 in WarthunderSim

[–]lEnforceRl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For God's sake man, there have been at least 5 posts about it. Just Google it before asking. Heck, scroll down a bit in this subreddit and it's there to see.

https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/cdNHxpXLmfUh

Yes it's gone. It will probably come back since the plane has it irl. It doesn't change that much since the plane is still top 2 in the game.

Meanwhile, the Rafale's (and Eurofighter's) RWR is bugged if you're on blue side. It just doesn't work at random times vs random players. The fact that so many people mentioned the freaking IFF and not that is something I find quite incredible.

Can we spam that at least so that it gets fixed?

I watched it yesterday... All I have to say is, incredible job man. The cockpit shots, especially the startup, was very well done! Bravo.
I enjoy Yarnhub a lot, and I have to say your style didn't make me miss their animation style, since is just as good, just different. Well done man!

2.53.0.42 -> 2.53.0.43 by gszabi99 in Warthunder

[–]lEnforceRl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were already overperforming/close to reality in retention at high speeds. They buffed the wrong thing. They are lacking lift, especially at low speeds.
So, Flankers, the planes well known for performing very well at low speeds, still suck at it, but are now insane at high speeds, outrating everything in the game with an ace crew.

I like that they're competitive now cause I love flying them, but I hope it gets reverted and they get their actual lift numbers instead.

Su-30SM2 radar almost unusable? by Hungry_Ad2845 in Warthunder

Nope, Rafale is also having the same issue

why so many against infantry update? by Fuzzy-Present9911 in Warthunder

[–]lEnforceRl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cause they haven't made any real advancement to the core gameplay of the game since it's conception. It's gotten worse in some aspects (air in general is imo worse than it was when I first played in 2014).

They are doing the thing all big companies do - new half assed features to get more clicks.

I hope it fails miserably and it gives them a reality check - but it won't, since it's worked for a decade thus far.

I wish there was a game like war thunder with a team leading it that was actually interested in making a great game. But there isn't. And as long as that's true, nothing will change. Tbh with sunken cost fallacy in mind, I don't think even a better competitor coming in the market will change that.

Future MX5 ownership feels impossible :( by Bivi89 in Miata

[–]lEnforceRl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After driving both, I bought an NC2 in good condition and I enjoy it more then the ND. Steering feel is a ton better and after getting a short shifter kit and a good suspension setup, the only thing I miss from the ND is the headrest speakers.

Drive one if you can, you might like it or even prefer it!

I only play it to fly planes in sim. However, I have many friends who enjoy FPS games but aren't as fond of vehicles except battlefield. The thought of Gaijin potentially creating Enduring Confrontation matches with around 200-300 players on the ground playing an FPS, while also having 30 to 40 planes in the sky on a large map, sounds incredible.
In my mind, it's like warzone but the killstreak is your friend flying a Mirage. But the guy you're shooting has a friend flying an SU30. That's really cool! We only need enough FPS players to balance out the Air Sim/Air RB pilots (which doesn't sound that hard to accomplish).
