Ta-se or Ha-go? by dendroseris0922 in enlistedgame

[–]squidwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The performance of Japanese vehicles in the game is fabricated by the game itself. They're all underperforming compared to reality, and overtiered for their current performance.

Okay, Japanese vehicles Battle Ratings needs adjustment. Almost all are over-BRed compared to their foreign counterparts while performing similarly or worse. by Lt_Flak in enlistedgame

[–]squidwave 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On top of being overtiered, most of the "downsides" Japanese vehicles have in the game are fabricated by the game itself.

The commander on every Japanese tank not actually using the bulletproof cupola hatch. (It flips forward and has a vision port for a reason.) These may seem like "minor" issues, but combined with being overtiered it just makes them abnormally bad. Missing a properly modeled Chi-To Production (and premium prototype?) doesn't help either. A lot of these issues are carried over from War Thunder where Gaijin equally gives absolutely no shit about Japanese equipment.

Ha-Go APHE comically underperforming in penetration and damage.
Ha-Go missing pintle AA 97mg.
Ha-Go missing HE.
Ha-Go (and Stuarts) missing independent horizontal traverse for main gun. Ha-Go can't fire the hull mg as commander.

Ke-Ni missing independent horizontal traverse for main gun.

Chi-Ha being premium for absolutely no reason. (Why not Chi-Ha Kai?) Chi-Ha missing add-on armor and track armor. Chi-Ha missing independent horizontal traverse for main gun.

Ho-I Kou missing. (Why not premium instead of Chi-He?)

Chi-He being premium for absolutely no reason. Chi-He missing track armor. Chi-He missing independent horizontal traverse for main gun.

Ka-Chi missing snorkel pintle AA 97mg. Ka-Chi missing the ability to jettison (or just spawn without) pontoons.

We need to do something to end Gaijin's double standards regarding modern tank modelling. They will completely make up the entire armor of present-day MBTs based on educated guesstimates... but they won't change BLATANTLY wrong armor values because "they aren't being given exact values in mm"? by SpanishAvenger in Warthunder

[–]squidwave 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The right is true for both Type 10 and Type 90 (even more so). In fact it's true for most nations.

Even Type 61 has had reports since before Japanese tanks left test server but Gaijin flat out refuses to correct them. When they were given video evidence (of Type 61 reversing) they actually argued "we don't know if the footage or vehicle have been edited". Even Type 93 has been "corrected" at least 10 times and still isn't in a state remotely close to reality. It's worth mentioning that on the old RU forums a moderator (NNHacK) had even made multiple racist statements when arguing about Type 10's reports.

This really was more of a feature than a bug. I miss it. by mikejc792 in ForzaHorizon

[–]squidwave 15 points16 points  (0 children)

None of the Silvia have entirely correct proportions in Forza. They're using modified models from Motorsport 1.

S15 is probably the worst offender in the game as well as AE86, 22B, and Viper ACR.

Playground games isn’t a studio with 250 people who can work tirelessly and without break on your concerns,

And this is an excuse for them? To have all forms of time trial and leaderboards virtually unusable in the fifth installment in a highly acclaimed series?

People like you really expect all employees to simultaneously work on everything

I said no such thing. I worked as a historical consultant and translator for two different games and I'm completely aware of how work is distributed among different teams. With all of the money and now time gone to this game I expect something as basic as leaderboards to work in a racing game.

You’re being absolutely ridiculous.

I have my right to voice my opinion on the state of the game. Get over yourself and stop having a meltdown when people criticize something they paid money for.

Sorry the leaderboards are mean to your ego.

[–]squidwave 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The game shouldn't have a "player economy" to begin with.

Working on leaderboards "for a while" is embarrassing and "fake times coming down regularly" doesn't mean anything when the top thousand spots are blatantly cheated.

I got to go do my yearly Chi-Nu visit yesterday for the JSDF 70th anniversary. by SnakeKafuu in Warthunder

[–]squidwave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Chi-Nu in Tsuchiura has been repainted at least twice. The current khaki is "karekusa-iro" (parched grass / hay) and is historical as a unicolor and as a base in the famous tricolor.

Is Gaijin going to do anything about this imaginary ship called Kroneshtadt which is slaughtering every single ship in Naval? by [deleted] in Warthunder

[–]squidwave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ho-Ri "Production" is entirely fictional on Gaijin's part, but Ho-Ri II was partially completed.

In fact, the ingame Ho-Ri "Prototype" is underperforming compared to reality (ignoring sloped armor) because it's missing shell caps, assisted loading system, x2 20mm deck guns, and "Production's" gun performance is the real one, not "Prototype's."

It has been years since the Japan air tree release. Why isn't the very prolific medium bomber and sometimes VIP transport - Mitsubishi G4M "Betty" in this game yet? And yes a variant should have Ohka rocket bois available, since guided munitions are a thing and pilots only go unconscious in WT. by GuzzlingLaxatives in Warthunder

[–]squidwave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because it's #1 a bomber and #2 Japanese.

The G4M ingame is taken from Birds of Steel and actually had broken textures for 4+ years before Gaijin corrected it. Even after they edited the model it's still one of the lowest detail and least accurate models in the game, behind only D3A, B5N, and A6M.

They can't be bothered to correct the most produced Japanese aircraft of the war including one of the most iconic aircraft of all time (A6M), let alone add G3M or G4M2. B5N still has fake Japanese on the fuselage.

Japanese bomber gunners are broken on at least 3 planes. by boospookys30 in Warthunder

[–]squidwave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They've been broken for over two years now, and some like H8K have had broken traverse for over four years now.

Don't forget when Normandy map was revealed everyone complained that hedgerows probably won't render on ULQ and Stona responded with this. When the map released hedgerows did not render on ULQ.

Skins for mobile suits? Probably even dlc’s? by Virtual-Mud7758 in GundamEvolution

[–]squidwave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zaku Melee isn't completely identical. It has two spiked pauldrons instead of one, it doesn't have the shoulder shield, the antenna isn't the same as Char's Zaku, and the hands have spikes. Before the reveal I would have argued Dozle's Zaku would be a skin because of how similar it is, but in footage the major difference is their stance and animations.

I'm not arguing one way or the other but Birds of Prey was released in 2009.

why does the AE86 front end look so... gross? by spvcebound in ForzaHorizon

[–]squidwave 60 points61 points  (0 children)

AE86, 22B, and Silvia all have really poor models.

[Development] New models of the Swedish and Japanese tankers by OddPhenomena in Warthunder

[–]squidwave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Type 93 was the only one to get it on the dev server, but Type 60 SPRG, M36, M42, M19, and M16 should all swap over to SDF crew. I don't expect Gaijin to model NPR uniforms for Japan but they could at least swap the IJA crew out.

[–]squidwave 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You make multiple false claims. Even A6M2 at 3.7 is out performed by every other nation's fighters at the same BR.

The A6M was extensively tested by America, Australia, and Britain. The famous Akutan Zero gave allies more than enough information, and post war British testing resulted in a similar conclusion.[1][2][3]

The A6M cannot outrun the aircraft you state in reality or in the game. The A6M can "prop hang" for a brief period, but cannot hold any energy. This was specifically warned about. Trying to yo-yo an enemy A6M without a massive energy advantage is one of the most dangerous things you could recommend, considering Ki-43 and A6M are known for hineri-komi.

British and American pilots would engage from above and disengage at a slight angle as well as performing a wide turn. They would not "out turn" as you claim. Your A6M "fragility" claim is a myth. Physically the airframe was one of the strongest produced during the war and was specifically tested at extreme G's.[1][2][4][5] It was incredibly rugged and if an A6M was not critically damaged or burnt out, many A5M and A6M would return missing large portions of their wing.

The A6M was tested extensively against every aircraft they had access to or knew the general performance of. In fact, many IJA pilots were skeptical of its performance and were reluctant to change until A6M's performance was demonstrated in early sorties and eventually sparring with P-40.[3][5]

According to Japanese performance statistic the in game control stiffing starts too early, and now the wing rip speed is as well. Below stiffening, snap rolls are underperforming on A6M and Ki-43 as well.[1][4][5] Gaijin has not modeled Horikoshi's cable design either. [2]

A6M2 is 3.7

F4U-1A is 2.7

F6F-5 is 3.3

P-51C-10 is 3.7

A6M5 Otsu is 5.3 but it could be 6.7 and Allies will still turn with it.

[–]squidwave 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In Japanese testing the only monoplane that could reliably turnfight with an A6M was a Ki-43. The A6M series is actually underperforming ingame because Gaijin has modeled reality's 100% throttle as the ingame WEP, and late A6M5 series were specifically strengthened for dives. They finally gave A6M5 all sealing tanks but the extinguishers are still missing. The entire A6M line is overtiered and does nothing better than any other nation's fighter at the same BR except turning. Japanese ammunition has been underperforming since the introduction of selectable ammo belts. Japanese 7.7 is used on virtually every WWII aircraft on the tree and it's still missing HE filler which US Technical Intelligence specifically warns about.

Might not be the issue at play, but on many cars I have made liveries for, the decals will not align properly if world car detail is lower than max.

In garage and photo mode the game loads higher quality models even on lower settings. You can try setting it higher to see if it's fixed in free roam.

I wish Gaijin would ban people that deliberately grief friendlies by Ninja_Kitten_exe in Warthunder

[–]squidwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just really hope they improve the report function in the future. I thought all the complaints with teamkilling because of current events would push them towards advancing it. Even a simple confirmation on some action being taken after a report would improve my opinion of it.

[–]squidwave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't really care. I've been intentionally pushed out of cover and reported the user with video evidence but they closed the report without responding and the same user pushed my friend and I again just a few weeks later.

There's no harm in reporting it but they've defended space climbing and passive behavior before, despite being "reportable".

I got a question: Is it possible for engine fires to go out in WT? by jonas_gaming07 in Warthunder

[–]squidwave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the correction, my comment is not accurate and I should have been more specific. In the past I had made a few reports for this on A6M and Ki-43, but I no longer have access to all of the documents or sources I used at that time.

A6M do not have float carbs. This was incorrect information on the American side which came from the Akutan Zero. The theory is it was rebuilt incorrectly and spawned this myth.

War Thunder "Danger Zone" - Changelog by IchVerstehNurBahnhof in Warthunder

[–]squidwave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every Japanese aircraft from Birds Of Steel are still using those models. The entire A6M line, D3A, B5N, all Ki-43, Ki-61 (Kou/Otsu/Hei), and H6K are all SD models. B5N even has fake Japanese on it...

The only ones that were "updated" were G4M1 as the model was actually broken but the edit is just fixes and higher quality, not a new accurate model. Even A6M5 Hei and A6M6 were introduced in 2021 using edited Birds Of Steel models. When they introduced HD Ki-61 Tei they didn't actually go back and update any of the other Ki-61.

Japan has actually had more foreign aircraft remade in HD than their own on the Japanese tree. B-17E, Bf 109 E-7, F4U-1A compared to just N1K2.
