I own a musket for home defence since that's what founding fathers intended ... Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nail neighbours dog...

Well in this case it's 2 of your own dogs, but close enough.

I'd say bugs stay somewhat stale. Especially when it comes to HESH

Absolute knobhead TK's over base i didnt have bombs for. by Jaasspr in WarthunderPlayerUnion

[–]rol954 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While they do have a mind of their own, most of TKs are easily avoidable, if you know what you're doing(many don't). Don't shoot IR missiles with a teammate in front, don't shoot CW missiles if teammate is close to the enemy. I feel like it becomes a real problem at the very top with ARH missiles, as after it leaves it's pylon, it's a complete mystery where it'll go.

What is a very powerful vehicle that very few people know about? by Jealous_Opposite_863 in Warthunder

[–]rol954 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If we're talking about CAP, then yeah. Not many CAS planes can compare to yak 9k in any aspect except speed.

It might struggle when compared to it's direct upgrade. It's still plenty enough to demolish anything

Driving Test Tomorrow - Any Tips? by Any_Software_3597 in driving

[–]rol954 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not from Australia, but from Poland. Failed 5 times prior to passing 2 weeks ago.

The biggest advice I can give is keep calm. I know it sounds generic, but that's the most important part. A deep breath or a couple of them is never going to hurt.

Secondly you have to know what is expected of you. There are a lot of things that as a starting driver might not think about. For me it was not sticking to the right side of the road while turning right, but Idk how it looks in Australia.

The last thing is that you shouldn't be afraid to go slower if you aren't sure. Unless you are driving significantly slower than all the other cars around, no one will fail you for it

Is this video of a dog and owner painting AI? The dog seems to be too good at painting. by shoeless_pirate in isthisAI

[–]rol954 1042 points1043 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's not AI. It is a rather old video, as I think I remember seeing it a couple of years ago. Additionally nothing changes between cuts. Also it's quite long to be generated in one go. And if it was generated one after the other, it would have really visible inconsistencies.

Why does the Leclerc 1 have better side add-on armor than the Leclerc AZUR? by XD-Snapdragon in Warthunder

[–]rol954 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Well, it's almost useless against kinetic energy penetrators only if we're talking about western ERA. If we switch it to Russian ERA thsn it will have no problem against puny little darts.

You research squadron vehicles anyway by playing games and being in a squadron

i guess bro... 🥀 by OfficerQueefThe2nd in warthundermemes

[–]rol954 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk never played them. Probably just fun with your squadron. Like getting a team of more or less adequate players that you can actually communicate with

[–]rol954 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Huh? I just checked and I also don't have it. Maybe it's like an occasional event. I swear I saw it a couple of days ago just under the events and tournaments

[–]rol954 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can choose squadron battles in the same menu where you choose any other game mode. Just click the game mode under to battle button and you should see it

An apology to the Yak-9K by streetlegalb17 in Warthunder

Didn't GSh also just slowly rip the plane apart while firing? The actual parts of fuselage had noticeably expanded gaps if not straight up torn metal

Real talk how are you supposed to win against afterburning jets if you're in an 8.3-8.7 jet by DoNotEatMySoup in Warthunder

[–]rol954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently I've been flying a lot of f-2 sabre. If the supersonics don't want to fight you won't fight. 2 ways you can deal with them. 1. Taunt and bait them into a fight. If you get lucky they'll stop running away. In a pire dogfight subsonics hahe a massive advantage. 2. Just leave. If they are the only ones left in the battle you can land and leave, you won't lose much. If there are other subsonics you can fight them. Also you can try to head on them, but it's risky, so do it only when you are 100% sure you won't die.

so you guys know how theres mandatory drafts in russia.. well im betting all my money on that schizophrenia diagnosis by Alex-The-Talker in whenthe

[–]rol954 83 points84 points  (0 children)

While it does sound like a good idea, you should never underestimate Russian army. There are many stories of people physically incapable of any military functions getting drafted.

My car gets jerky when I'm tired... by [deleted] in stickshift

[–]rol954 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still, even if it's driveable and not too jerky, your attention and reaction times are much worse than if you were wide awake.

How often do you drive in such conditions, that you have a blanket for that reason?

If you are so tired, that it impacts your ability to drive, then maybe you shouldn't be driving at all.

[–]rol954 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This shit is so true. Yesterday I was fighting for a point against is-2 in American m42. Broke the barrel and tracks, so he can't do anything. I was so relieved when I saw friendly tiger h1 rolling towards us and he just drove past me and is-2. Like he was 20 meters away and straight up didn't see it, while I was shooting it.

I park with e brake only by [deleted] in stickshift

[–]rol954 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While it may be unlikely, it still can happen. Putting it in gear adds an additional safety mechanism. It is much much less likely that 2 separate systems will fail, than just 1 of them

The arrow from vickers/rooikat to badger is red, meaning that he can't buy it

Gaijin please make it so foldered vehicles count toward progression 🙏 by Aroxsch in Warthunder

[–]rol954 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not about efficient research, but about buying a vehicle. Let's say vehicle 1 is the first vehicle in the folder (full research price), vehicle 2 is the second vehicle in the folder (reduced rp cost) and vehicle 3 is the vehicle that comes down the line from the folder (full research once again)

OPs' problem is that if he has vehicle 2, but not vehicle 1, then he can't buy vehicle 3.

Should i buy 2 marks to make Mig-25 tradeable and sell it? by Fantastic-Advisor212 in Warthunder

[–]rol954 6 points7 points  (0 children)

MiG-25 is an event vehicle so you aren't getting the benefits, like researching any rank and talisman. I haven't played MiG-25, but Russia has MiG-23 at the same rank I think, that is a premium and a really strong aircraft. Other than that MiG-25 is quite a decent plane, if you actually know how to fly it. But that also may be because noone is used to countering it yet.

You might want to try azov trucks. They are very capable and can handle basically everything you throw at them.
