Anyone had the bug where, after you get put into a battle, it sits at the main UI with the chat and map etc and you click join battle and it just sits loading forever and never does anything and you gotta force end the task? This shit is seriously fucking me off.
I just wasted a fucking massive RP 1 time use boost in it too. Had to force exit the process. And now the fucking boost is no longer active, so not only was that a waste of a boost, but I'm going to get literally NOTHING for it.
[QUOTE=Shibbey;50226339]What? No. Panther II engine, Ho-229 engine (and "UFO CD0" according to the flight model devs who admitted they buffed it because of people complaining it was a bad plane), and D-9/410 engines being uprated were all done after the tanks were introduced to the game, coupled with nerfs to the opposition (Bearcats, P-51D-30 until the most recent patch, Griffons), all because of people whining that they were getting owned by scary "post-war" (read: early 1945) props[/QUOTE]
My bad then. I don't follow planes as much - I really didn't think they actively changed the Panther II engine, though, really? I thought they just dropped it as-is.
[QUOTE]I mean the IS-2 was a tank that served into the 50s that does fight tanks from the 50s in game on a pretty regular basis though, it's more of a historical change, and before it got APCR, everyone in this thread was mad about how "unusable" the T-44 was[/QUOTE]
I, and others, had no issue with the T-44 at all. There were a lot of dumb players on the official forums angry because they'd go face-to-face with a Tiger II and realized there was no ~weakspot~ to shoot with an 85. And the T-34E one was, verbatium from Gaijin, because they increased the BR boo-hoo :(
The IS-2 didn't actually really need the ammo, and as I said, it's basically identical to an M and all they had to do was change the name to make most arguments irrelevant. The normal ammo was strong enough to cut through the specially-modified shittier II H faceplate anyways, and the front was very survivable to 88s at a range thanks to slope mechanics and a horrendously buggy turret. The whole "well it was a 19xx tank and it could use the ammo later" argument doesn't hold any weight because they specifically balance [B]a lot[/B] of tanks against this precedent. Tiger H doesn't have APCR for this reason, Panther D doesn't, T-34s lack it while others don't, only the American Sherman M4A2 got it, I think the M4A1 76 lacks it, etc. Same goes with end-tier HEAT-FS cancer being specially picked and placed. Even though it makes no sense at all mechanically or historically. Even though the game would likely be fine even if they gave all guns all available ammo they had for their respective tanks' service life. (Except maybe in late IV/V but that's cancer anyways.)
I never meant to argue that it's a wehraboo/slavaboo/even nation based thing though. Its' just generally shit when it happens all together and pointing at another nation and going "well they got x" isn't the right solution here.
Gaijin has very poor consistency on this kind of stuff and while I obviously don't speak for planes, it's clear as crystal with tanks. Be it ammo selection, reload times, which documents they choose to follow and ignore, module layout/upgrade paths, dumb shit like fantasy ammo for the fantasy 105 Tiger as stock so that there's a grind to ammo tangibly better than 88 ammo, etc, etc.
Planes also have their own host of goofy inconsistencies both in-game and development wise, iirc too. Like late-war USA planes without late-war belts, Gaijin refusing to add overload payloads to some planes but not others, that whole "Ju-87D is an attacker because we said so, so no airbrakes for you!!! .. oh wait we're wrong, we'll fix later tovarisch ))) - over a year ago" deal, their ability to quickly add new bombs for the two new Russian bombers (3000/5000kg) while also saying that they'll get around to adding the 1500-1800kg for Germany (2-3 years ago?), etc. I mean, let's not even get started on the AD-2 by adding a plane that was suppose to out-load a B-17 in number and weight, getting "3 bombs and some rockets max, enjoy grind and don't forget to buy ge." v:v:v
I'm sure there's a lot more with planes you could name because I haven't seriously invested in playing the plane aspect in probably 2-3 years myself.
And the issue occurred AGAIN this time causing me to lose a 150% RP Boost. Seriously fuck WarThunder until they fix this bullshit or respond to my ticket and acknowledge and ammend this goddamn issue.
The ammo types between tanks I assume are so you actually feel like you're getting somewhere when you unlock shit (even if that's actually a lie because APCR is useless 90% of the time)
The reason the AD-2 is shit and underperforming was because it was developed as an AD-1 and at the last minute Gaijin went "shit actually put in an AD-2" and didn't like, actually update the flight model or payloads because they are dumb

Yeah, we went over this before offa' Facepunch and I still can't wrap my head around it. At least if it had a ton of bombs, it'd be more fun for CARB, but you're basically flying a more expensive P-47D with better income.
The ammo type thing is just bad because some of those APCRs would be nice quality of life things to have for the vehicles I listed, even if their APHE deals with practically everything else. The more baddies I see spamming my cupolas with APCR and mincing the already liquefied commander instead of something important, the better.
AD-2 is still good, maybe not Firefly good but still good. 12xHvar + 2xTT loadout is fun
Twice today i've had the game say all crew lost and then the cam show that only one of them died, with one of them still fine. I just checked the replay and the last one only changes after its been destroyed. Can anyone explain it?

Naw, Houston. This one is super active. I'd buy a flight on it, but I don't have $400 to burn.
Just a question to people savvy with specifications.
The Meteor with the Sapphire engines would have around x4 the thrust of a Mig-15?

Static thrust; in air applied not sure.
The single Klimov VK-1 of the MiG-15bis has 2700kg thrust when stationary and at sea level (static thrust). The Derwent 8s on the stock Meteor F8 together put out a combined 3250kg of static thrust. A [I]single[/I] ASS engine puts out 3440kg. And two were mounted. So 6880kg, about two and a half times what the MiG-15bis has. But the MiG-15bis is 5000kg loaded up with fuel and ammo, vs the stock Meteor F8's 7100kg, so the MiG-15bis has the better thrust/weight there at 0.54
Dunno exactly how heavy the Sapphire Meteor was, but we can make some assumptions. Assuming it has the same fuel tanks, otherwise unmodified fuselage, it would have guns so we don't remove their weight etc. Each Derwent 8 weighs about 570kg, so 1140kg total of engines. Remove them, and then add the weight of the ASSes, which are massive fuckin' beasties at 1250kg. So you have a 8450kg plane. Let's say that the mounting of each engine, since they're bigger engines, is like an extra 100kg each? So 8650kg plane approx.
8650kg plane over 6880kg gives us a thrust to weight ratio of about 0.80, against the MiG-15bis' 0.54
It would be pretty obscene

That said, the prototype had no guns, so it probably wouldn't get in game
Now, the prototype testbed with 2x30mm ADEN, 2xHispano Mk2? I want that

BRRRRRRRRRRRRT
Apparently the Sea Meteor cannons were removed during it's testing, or faired over.
The gun ports are just blocked over, you can see it on this photo:

That said, it's just a Meteor F.3 with the early F.4 engine, which some very late production F.3s were fitted with. Remove the tail hook, and give it the lush [url=http://hsgalleries.com/images/meteorf3rf_9.jpg]snow-white european theatre skin[/url] and and it'd be fine.
Goddamn Shibs stop giving me a boner, I'm in public at the moment!
Meteor is hot stuff, shame it isn't getting all of its fun options in game. I'd also really like the Reaper loadout with 24 rockets

And then there's the nightfighter ones with the fucking gorgeous birdcage canopy and the radar installation in the nose, which would just be kinda meh in game but still, sexy

I caved in and bought the topcunt Boomerang MkI
god damn what a beast
He 51 Float is a BEAST. Because floats.
The players down at 1.0 realistic are much nicer to play with, most actually speak English too. (Something of an issue at the higher BRs for what ever reason)
Its always neat seeing planes that and vehicles you drive in war thunder in real life.

I haven't logged into War Thunder for quite a while and apparently my account is frozen? The error code told me to submit a ticket and I am greeted with this

I didn't even spend that much on War Thunder and I've never made any purchases from Steam what the fuck :dogcited:
This feels like more of a scam with the stereotypical name of the customer service staff that I'm assigned to
Anyway I wrote a very strongly worded reply and hopefully their staff isn't bumfuck retarded
[quote]What the hell? This is an outrageous claim. Basing on the fact that:
I did not make purchase through Steam and can be proved from my Steam account transaction history
My purchases were made on Gaijin webpage
I did not recall spending that much on War Thunder
This is either a database error or my account has been compromised. I cannot accept to your term unless you can provide records that I have done that.[/quote]
I can't even login to the support site with my Gaijin account and I had to reply in email
[editline]2nd May 2016[/editline]
Is it possible to contact Gaijin devs with Twitter or something? I'm not very optimistic with the customer service
have fun getting canned responses forever from perfect support team)))))
I once tried to ask them something about the whole "storing" of your paypal account (somehow my mates got stored on my account despite him using the gift option which seems like a huge bug to me)
and I got met with something along the lines of "your account is working fine and there are no issues with any outstanding transactions if you have any other issues please let us know"
Also that whole "we can make an exception in your case" sounds like the biggest bullshit to me, something aint right
