[QUOTE=ScottyWired;45843828]I started playing RB yesterday. The easy-prey biplanes back in arcade have become these hyper-maneuverable super machines that compensate for their guns with those crazy turns.[/QUOTE]
Just graze them with something incendiary and all your woes will crash to earth.

maybe it's just bad luck, but I have the HEI IAI rounds for my 13 mm and air target rounds for my 20mm in the D-9. Whenever I hit someone, they rarely light up on fire.
[QUOTE=aydin690;45842608]Which settings did you change?[/QUOTE]
LUT Texture to Contrast, and then changes to the Tone Mapping settings.
My monitor shows darker blacks and most monitors. It's technically a good thing because you get a much higher contrast image, but because I imagine most games are designed with typical LCD monitors in mind, it means I sometimes have a hard time seeing things. War Thunder is especially bad about this where some things can be very dark in broad daylight, especially in Ground Forces.
Really, I think the issue is how aggressive the HDR is in preventing bloom, but we don't have access to tweak the camera HDR settings.
So, because it's so monitor based, your mileage may vary, but here's what I use. First image is the default settings, second is my own settings.

How do you ration your fire? I use the 13mms to get a bead on somebody, then let up on those and let the 20s blaze once I've got a good angle.
Watching a Spitfire one shot your plane from 600 meters away while flying straight up at practically zero airspeed is the most disheartening thing ever. Fuck that shit. That is bullshit.

I don't know what it is with Hispanos and getting pilot snipes so easily but seriously, fuck that. Hispanos need to be nerfed.
Got to go and fly in a B25j today, pictures soon!

Hispanos were realistically the strongest gun put onto a plane until Korean war pretty much.
They don't even have their historical belt of nothing but 50/50 HEI/SAPI, that would rip so much shit.
Got bored and made some Metal Slug themed skins:

I took some artistic liberty here and there, but I think they turned out decent. Colors might need a little more tweaking though.

Woah that's awesome.
The skull on the catalina's wing needs to be more grainy, painty, I think. The other thing is just perfect tho.
I wonder if they gonna allow some nice unhistorical skins like this into the game through the player submission system, it's not like the aircraft look historically with all the stretched dickgirl decals anyway.
[editline]31st August 2014[/editline]
Maybe on the later thing I would shift the yellow strip a bit to be between the windows. It just drives my OCD mad.

Yeah I just noticed that. The template I was working with didn't have separate dirt layers, so I'll have to add some myself later.
I might put these up on the skin site after I've gone over them again.

The more skins the better. It would be nice if one day we could have visible custom skins too. Although we all know what would happen (B-24 goatse skins).
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;45851466]Maybe on the later thing I would shift the yellow strip a bit to be between the windows. It just drives my OCD mad. [/QUOTE]
I think I'll just remove the window. It was kind of bugging me too while I was making it.
They look very cool, release them when you think they are ready, please.
yeah so the FAP clan was reported and if they can't have their name unfortunately we can't have ours and vice versa, what was the winning rename again?
rip ifap
I thought it got renamed back to ifap again, but idk im not in the squadron.
I just played with Taiwaneseprick a couple hours ago and it was still ed76 or whatever it was
also [URL="http://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/171617-in-development-j7w1/?p=3229979"]more Shinden pictures[/URL] ughghghg (updated into the OP)

I hope the FM doesn't make it an unfun plane to fly
Speaking of the Shinden, I've decided I'm making this skin for it ASAP.

Incidentally, I own scale models of these and the teacher's plane. They're cool as fuck.
[QUOTE=Maestro Fenix;45851661]They look very cool, release them when you think they are ready, please.[/QUOTE]
I'll probably rework and release them late today or tomorrow.
Yeah i just saw an ed76 guy in a match, so I guess it didn't get renamed
Is there a noticeable difference in performance between the spit mk22 and mk24?
[QUOTE=a dumb bear;45852231]Is there a noticeable difference in performance between the spit mk22 and mk24?[/QUOTE]
no
[QUOTE=a dumb bear;45852231]Is there a noticeable difference in performance between the spit mk22 and mk24?[/QUOTE]
If you count bombload is performance yes.
Otherwise no, but the black nose on the Mk 24 is very sexy.

The boosted shinden is rad but the teacher's plane is a fugly hodgepodge.
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;45852356]The boosted shinden is rad but the teacher's plane is a fugly hodgepodge.[/QUOTE]
it's obviously an analogy to non-Japanese superplanes that destroy paper aircraft in AB
speaking of wonky air battles, I watched a bit of Red Tails before I paused the movie to take some aspirin and went to bed
[QUOTE=Skwee;45851985]I thought it got renamed back to ifap again, but idk im not in the squadron.[/QUOTE]
as far as i knew that was the case, i started up war thunder to find it hadn't been changed so i checked my PMs on the forums
as a sorry he said that it would probably get reported again shortly and changed, and the second time we'd have to pay so it was worth picking a new one anyway
ah well
FAPPE or IFLAP, tool/rainbow
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;45852356]The boosted shinden is rad but the teacher's plane is a fugly hodgepodge.[/QUOTE]
Uh no it's like MiG-3 (sexiest plane that ever turned out to be bad) fucked a Tempest II with even gullier wings.
[QUOTE=Shibbey;45852571]Uh no it's like MiG-3 (sexiest plane that ever turned out to be bad) fucked a Tempest II with even gullier wings.[/QUOTE]
I think it fucked more than just a Tempest mate.
Including but not limited to:
P-39 for its nose cannon
P-38 for its engine makeup
Ki-84 for Xtreem turn rates
Su-37 for thrust vectoring
A UFO for its ability to teleport
A large Zamboni for its ability to slide -sideways- across the sky
Pinocchio for the nose
[editline]dfsjk[/editline]
Actually, now that you mention it, since the Shinden might be a while, what plane do you guys think I should make a "Teacher" skin for?
[t]http://static.rcgroups.net/forums/attachments/3/5/4/3/1/a2481507-209-Skyly.jpg?d=1240598061[/t]
Ta-152 or D-9/12/13.
Ta-152 because it fits the general plane shape the best or D because somebody actually flies these.
Make it for the Ki-84 because that has thrust vectoring in game
I'd say Spitfire MK24 because it's probably gonna be the bane of the Shinden just like the Skyly was. Spit's also got those weird nose ridges and if I recall correctly they based the Skyly's frame on either that or the Wyvern.
I guess the easiest way is a vote.
Agree for Ta-152
Disagree for long-nose Fw-190
Informative for Ki-84
Useful for Spitfire
Optimistic for Tempest
Artistic for Mig-3
