American tanks were intentionally incredibly overpowered because you had to buy a pack to unlock everything after era I.
The Sherman 105 was at a "balanced" BR that was "coincidentally" slightly out of reach of non-payers, but close enough for them to see them shitting on everything in games. It was left like this for about a week to get buyers, then they moved it up to the point of uselessness.
Shermans were all undertiered and obliterated everything. Chaffee was a rally car. Jumbo was almost impenetrable from the front, and could sit on hills just taking shots endlessly to farm huge amounts of XP.
They eventually unlocked everything and made them somewhat comparable to Soviets. Then introduced TDs with fucking ridiculous BRs. Hellcats could frontally penetrate everything they faced, while also having ridiculous mobility, bouncing everything because muh angles, and being "overpenetrated" by absolutely everything so anything that it faced had to aim directly at each crew member to kill it. M10 was undertiered - it was at the same BR as the Pz IV F2, but superior in every way aside from turret traverse. Also had ridiculous survivability. Both had superior reload rate to now, on top of all this.
Then they changed the penetration mechanics, and gradually started shitting on Americans because Soviet bias suddenly became imperative.
I expect them to do the same with British tanks. Achilles is a sign of things to come.
If you genuinely believe American tanks were balanced, you're completely delusional.

They're literally the US teams for ground forces. They see the shiny Tiger tank, likely the only tank they even know about from WW2, and latch onto Germany with zero skill.

It's a plane as light as a fucking zero, what part of that is hard to understand you tards. Ofc it's going to have exceptional acceleration and energy retention, that doesn't make it OP, it just either makes you a shit pilot or the plane undertiered.

Deserved it. Game telling you that you're shit.
>>121732316
Repairing/Rearming at the same time is just stupid anyways.
Even if you're out of ammo one guy should fly cover to try and distract anyone who even thinks about coming in and shitting on planes on the runway.

Well, the good thing about the Yak-3's HIGH PERFORMANCE speed retention is that when they dive on you they can't stop themselves from overshooting to literally save their lives.

What is cute is the fact you think I'm mad, while in reality it's you salty fat cunts that can't stop sperging for the last 9 months or so about the shitty 76mm getting nerfed only because Germans cried about it. It took them over a year to fix the Panther's gun and yet for some reason burgers think they should have a privilege of everything being changed to their preferences the second they cry about it. Make the bug report with historical evidence and fuck off already, I only got to the 76mm when it was already nerfed and didn't have a problem getting to tier 5 where US dominates, but hand holding is a must for the burgers apparently

Read: Hellcats occupying the entire map before anyone else is even out of the spawn and frontally penetrating everything they see while surviving 5 penetrating Tiger/Panther shells in return, not counting all the ones they angle bounced then shooting anything that respawns immediately
First for cute planes.
>>121734148
I'm saying whinewaffe because you're whining from the German perspective.

Not sure what game you've been playing, Hellcats have worse armor than Tier 1 tanks, I've never failed to cripple a hellcat's crew with a shot that's anywhere near its center mass.
Reinder that Hakurei is a slut who sucks dicks for money.
>>121734269
>more whinewaffe
So remember when the Germans whined so hard that almost every fast tank got nerfed?
Watching those same people months later whine about how slow the leopard 1 was really made up for it : ^)
So is the M46 better with the new heat ammo? Also, how do I play the M46?
everytime i start the game it says i am on the dev server, and i get booted off, I can't launch the game. Anyone know what the fuck i can do to fix this?
>>121734532
FUCKING LEAVE HELMET
>>121734697
Yes
Flank for days, you have practically no hull armour and mediocre mantlet armour. Your tank is fast and agile with good depression, use that to get into firing positions on enemy flanks quickly and rek em all with that 90mm.
>>121734782
literally who
>>121734865
LITERALLYYOU
>>121734743
Go to your warthunder file, delete matchingdevmode file and your config file, restart launcher.
>>121734583
I am talking about when they were introduced and fuses didn't activate on their armour, the angle bounce was even worse, and there was no spalling at all. They took no damage aside from direct hits to modules and crew. Shells would often go through without doing anything at all.
The only real counter to them was SPAA, because the sheer volume of fire would cancel out all the randomness and need for extreme precision.
>>121734840
Alright, thanks. I got lucky and won a talisman for this thing on my first mission. Haven't been able to do anything with it though.
>>121734414
Glad to see you visit that subreddit too and that you picked up the classical memes like calling everyone who isn't a US player a whinewaffle. Perhaps you should go on google to see what Luftwaffe is and that it wasn't really about tanks, which is what we are talking about. But considering the fact you're shit with the US 76, using brains to realize what the origin of the meme's name is not really to be expected out of you in the first place

See, I don't disagree with this, the 3p is undertiered as a motherfucker.
But I have a problem with all the motherfuckers saying it's FM is UFO without even considering the power and weight of the fucking aircraft. Seriously, these niggas probably know the exact boost pressure of their precious Ta-152 at 5000m for the most performance but can't be bothered researching WHY an enemy aircraft can do what it does.
>>121736315
Undertiered as a motherfucker? The 3p is like 4.7. 5.0 is the most it could be tiered reasonably.
The Spit XIVe shits on it so hard. As does G-10, G-14, K-4, G-6, etc. G-2 is slightly challenging.

Still pretty much on the same footing as premium players, skill still matters far more than premium planes or vehicles.
Only thing that could be argued is crew skills, but only retards argue that crew skills is p2w
>>121736315
no there's definitely something fishy with the yaks
they are extremely stable in all condition with almost no engine torque + they can fly without wing-tips where almost all other plane crash
if you fly all plane in game with a joystick you cannot deny how easy it is to fly yaks especially in hard manoeuvre where most other fight become unstable

The yak 3 was literally considered the best dogfighter of WW2. MAYBE, just fucking MAYBE, that was for a good reason, don't you think?

the yak 3 is 4.0 in AB+ and 4.3 in SB
the 3p is from 1945 ...

Where's the A6M8 in game? Oh that's right. It doesn't exist.
The poll to change RB tank sights to historical placement on tanks had 90 percent votes on English forum, and the Russian forum had around 50 percent votes, so they kept the arcade sights.
God damn Russians are one of the reasons they're pushing arcade changes so much and ruining other modes
>>121740346
> Weight 2150 kg
That's the empty weight though.
Loaded weight is probably a fair bit heavier, but the Zero had quite an enormous fuel capacity for its size/weight and specific fuel consumption is probably the same so with the same service range they're probably the same weight
The radial in the A6M8 had great power/weight

So i have the second F-86 and im just not starting to grind to CL-13 but have recently swtiched to grinding for the F2Hs and the F9F. Are they any better or worse than the F-86s, whats the difference?
Is RB planes still got that ridiculous "climb to space for the first 20 mins" mentality?
If so, I reckon I'll just dust off my joystick and stick to SB.

It climbs at a mediocre pace, has terrible maneuverability, a mediocre armament, really awful speed and energy retention, and is generally just not very good.

And yes, it turns like a brick. Even when it has optimal energy it has the maneuverability of a stone attached to a horse's ass.
I can do fine in basically every plane in the game, destroy entire teams and just have a grand old time. But in the XF5F and XP-50 I find myself at 5km up while the enemies are hanging 2-3km above me. Hell, every time I see an XP-50 or XF5F they get curbstomped the moment they reach combat.

Anyone else get it? Just firing up a plane that you know inside and out, hearing her engine purr along as you climb. I just find it so comforting and warm. Plus I can still have fun getting into dogfights.
I don't know, that's why I play the game.
>>121754616
How am I supposed to record the local data and the game at the same time? I guess you're just so shit that even the planes refuse to perform well for you.
>>121755147
What do you mean. Piston engines show outputs in power taking into account mixture, boost pressure, rpm, and prop pitch (and presumably speed) while jet engines show outputs in thrust taking into account throttle and rpm (and presumably speed). It looks to me like they don't simulate them the same at all.
Even if they did, it would be fine because in terms of performance the only difference between jets and pistons is the shape of their thrust and power curves with regard to speed.
>>121755585
Playing ground-attack is the most comfy. You can fly high or low and enjoy scenery. You can play in cockpit view even with mouse because you're hitting ground targets. Your plane can't really out-manuever a fighter unless that fighter makes really dumb decisions, so you are at peace with the fact that you most probably will get shot down. Thus, any ATA kill(s) are a bonus rather than the objective, and it seems that lately teammates are more inclined to trying to to help you when you get into trouble.
Finding a buddy each game and wingman'ing up is the best.

I just want to understand how your identical plane climbs 15% faster than mine in identical conditions. The only explanation is that our conditions are not identical. I'm testing mine as "reasonably" as possible, using auto engine controls, mouseaim, 20 min fuel, limited f/a, realistic mode, no external armament, wep, "current" configuration (I tried reference and it didn't help). From this, the only explanation is that you're doing something differently to fuck up the results because you're having fun being le epik troll.

Make of it what you will and take the time to decode it because the sections are not separated correctly, but you'll see that from 2km to 3km while climbing, my climb speed never dropped below 23.8 m/s, and was constantly in the range of 23.8 and 24 m/s, while my speed went down from around 255kph to 245kph IAS, don't remember the exact numbers which you will find in the FDR.

I noticed from earlier that I get 100 hp less per engine than than what other people were posting.
>>121747554
>>121748741
I am wondering if because I don't own the XP-50 that maybe the effect of the engine modifications isn't actually being applied (even though it's a premium and has everything unlocked). I don't know how else people are getting 1210 hp when I only get 1110.
>>121759390
I even marked a portion of it out for you which took around 30 seconds (last number is climb speed, on a bit to the left of the center is the IAS in kph (260-250) ), and as you can see the climb speed stays consistent. The Air speed drops a bit, but it stops dropping at around 235-240 kph IAS.

>see corsair infront of my hunter
>finger just slips onto my mouse out of nowhere
craziest thing man
>>121764706
Honestly I just go for the turret if I don't have a side shot because the rim is usually weak. and close enough to the less sloped section that any deviation tends to result in a successful penetration. I just revel in the idea of punching through that stupid gun manlet and being able to do exactly the thing they do, which is just click and delete through the turret.
If the player hasn't wised up to carrying not lugging around full ammo capacity, hitting the rear turret causes a nice fireworks show if I'm flanking.
>>121752253
the armor is even more worthless than the H1
you'll never need the APCR since you can pen everything with APHECBC
enjoy facing T-32s
>>121765123I've been bouncing off the 100mm spot on the IS-1 and IS-2's mantlet like crazy lately so they might have Gaijin'd it.
>>121764782
It went into overdrive with 1.53.
>>121764782
I can't make any guesses as to their overall structural strength. Il-2s can be hard as fuck to put down but I kind of expect that.
As for slav fighters, whenever I shoot them I always count on the fire going out. People tell me this is because they have a lot of small tanks that burn out before the plane breaks up, which makes sense, but I don't have time to chase their ass on the deck to assure the kill.

That crew slot isn't maxed out, I don't think it's even close to. You just don't black out as long as you do sporadic g's , or wait until you start coming back from the tunnel until you apply more g's.

This sounds like a mixed blessing. I'll have to try it out.
>>121766440
Too fast. Nose should be pointed up and your engine should be running.
Flip is around.
AoA controls how fast you go, speed controls how much you ascend or descend.
>>121766440
you dont land like that
>>121766472
Nothing that complicated, its just a big bullet.
>>121766721
it's fiendishly complicated, even modern jets nowadays still use lookup tables instead of calculating them on the run
>>121766152
Wat?
>>121767073
I use up all my 40mm ammo on one run, none of those lookup tables.
>>121765864
Never heard of "channel loss" in regard to jet engines but it sounds like the exhaust velocity lost due to friction against the exhaust pipe; in order to minimize it you would want to have a short exhaust tube, which is part of why planes like the venom and vampire wound up looking like they did.
>>121766440
Land much slower and pull up hard as soon as your tail catches, though some planes will strike the prop no matter what you do.
>>121767195
Well of course, in War Thunder, shells will go straight no matter how hard you're turning or side slipping.
>>121767073
It's much more complicated today because many targets are traveling at a significant percentage of the projectile's velocity. Compared to a bullet a B17 is extremely slow.

That's how all carrier planes (are supposed to) land, you should be in your landing attitude well before you are over the carrier's deck and then just hold it until you touch down.
>>121770012
All the US naval jets and F7F.
>>121770072
>>121770132
At least for me that doesn't work with tail draggers, if you don't flare the tail hook isn't low enough to catch.
>>121766440
didn't you play the fucking tutorial. It said 30% throttle and point nose up
>>121770354
Then you aren't going slow enough. The fact that you have enough speed to flare clearly shows that you aren't going slow enough.

More likely that most bomberfags were flying bombers because it was a slow, steady way to grind RP without having to actually play or be good at the game, much like playing arcade.

It's not really like useful advantages though (disregarding the tank visibility nightmare). It lets you maintain an insane g loading for slightly longer than normal, which even under normal circumstances might net you a kill but is normally followed by a death sentence. There are also fewer and fewer planes every patch that can actually survive that many Gs, disregarding the fact that many planes just aren't even capable of reaching them. The only reason this suddenly became a big deal is 1) broken Mig-15s and 2) it tells you numerically what the effect is.
Once the magic migs get patched it will stop mattering.

Having a good ground-crew lets you fire your guns more or less infinitely and with accuracy while being able to re-arm/repair in 10 seconds.

You did literally everything wrong.
The carrier is moving towards you, land from the other side.
Your angle is shit, come in lower and slower with landing flaps deployed, put the throttle on cruise and point your nose up. Pull up if the hook caught on.
You can land any plane on a carrier this way, even if they don't have a hook.

Either that or fuck aerodynamics, too hard.
>>121786120
I've seen that one, I think it's a bug with the spotter AI plane on that map.
I've never seen the one with humans that people talk about, I know when people are initially spawning in (or JIP so sometimes it happens kinda far into the game) the game will show them as being at some random location on the map for a few seconds but I've never seen them stay for more than those few seconds.

So much shit has been fucked as of this patch.
On the first day entire teams of people lagged then suddenly exploded or experienced massive desync leading to server crashing.
Planes snap to and seemingly normalize on a vector, smoothly moving across the screen in aerodynamically impossible ways as the server corrects for whatever netcode and sync problems are going on, meaning that head ons during peak load hours can be a strange and unsettling experience as you attempt to get guns on a plane you had just been firing into.
I've seen aicraft seemingly hiccuping in the air and teleporting a few feet as of late, a behavior formerly only associated with AI.

>>121786461
Yes, most propeller-driven aircraft have a built-in bias, usually to make it so at cruise speed and power there's no rudder deflection (to reduce drag). Some with particularly powerful engines which will operate at slow speed and high AoA (such as a carrier plane) might build in more bias to help the pilot with those phases of flight, sacrificing drag at cruise speed. These planes normally have rudder trim though so it's not like it becomes unflyable at low power.

>>121788734
There's not a lot you can do with PvP air battles while keeping them balanced without adding AI elements. Even then, that shit is awful in-game as is.
What would you like? More ground objectives? Bomberniggers would assrush them and the match would end in moments. Air objectives? Same as above, but with fighters.
Planes, due to moving in a nearly limitless 3D space, are incredibly difficult to base game modes around. Especially in a "realistic" or "historical" setting.
>>121788905
To be fair, a lot of the problems come with the setup they've given for the missions. All of them have to involve two airbases with objectives appropriately far away from them and a good central meeting point for people to murder eachother.
>>121788905
I want fighters in the air before or at the same time as bombers and reactive map elements like bridges and vehicles that alter the flow of the game. Something like the landing craft on Saipan, but less one-dimensionally win/lose and less starting altitude discrepancies.
>>121789145

Unless you implement enormous-scale ground forces into air matches, that's virtually impossible without making it incredibly imbalanced and/or easy to abuse.

There's no denying it would be fun as hell if they got it to work, though.
>>121789510
There would be a reason for more planes to take bombs/rockets which would make it even easier to get kills in air superiority fighters, and player tanks don't render from the stratosphere, so that wouldn't be so much of a problem either.

Eh, I feel like the ideas I have wouldn't make the game more complex. Except for the part where I would try and make the actual combat more realistic and add permadeath for pilots, those parts would kill whatever game I made.
With that said, I really feel like the frustration even casuals have with Warthunder isn't complexity, it's feeling like nothing matters and that the game's just going to fuck them sometimes and they can't control it. That's not fun, and that can be solved.

Why in fucks name, for all the time this fucking game has been out do you still have to grind for a fucking repair kit and a fucking fire extinguisher in your tanks?
So, what is the historical justification for the Sabre/Mig-15 rebalance?
Or the German/American shell nerf for that matter?

Probably to push Bong tanks in all honestyUS 76.2mm AP shells are OP as fuck right now, in accordance to the 17pdr being 76.2mm so they probably just use the same gun in the engine.
>>121796323

>Shell mechanics are very complicated in reality.
Yes, they decidedly are, that's why I thought they were just sticking to WW2 B&G or accepted domestic tests. I have no clue where the new values are from though.

the pbjs are ok i guess. i like it when i can manage to set some poor vulture on fire rather than letting him have an easy kill

Because Gaijin hates the RB/SB community
>>121796827
Gaijin will eventually remove RB/SB as arcade is easier to half-ass and shekel.
They just want to slowly reduce the player count in those modes so their removal seems justifiable.

200 what
mph? That's an INSANE landing speed for a WW2 fighter, it's nearly 1960s jet interceptors tier. Even if you meant kmh, it's still high. Aim for touch down at less than 180, and don't fall like a rock - use your fucking flaps.
The Typhoon landing speed should be somewhere around 110mph
The Spitfire lands at even slower speeds, 85 mph flaps down, or less than 140 kmh.

I haven't played in a while but I loved my Panther. The high velocity gun is amazing at long range, and I found the frontal armor to be very good, with a little bit of angling.
Also it was mobile as fuck.
