Does the Jagdpanzer IV have any armor bugs? I swear my front got penned by a Sherman's machinegun which killed my gunner.
The random radio quality swing music makes those last few shots.
[QUOTE=PsiSoldier;51976393]i'm not sure why i stopped quitting Kursk on sight, it's very rarely fun. i should do the same for Carpathians, too - i like the map, but since the last big patch before this one it tanks my FPS down to 30-40~ in comparison to the solid 60 i usually get.
bonus thing:

[sp]i also switched from FRAPS to Dxtory for recording, so no more piss-stained videos from f.lux, yay[/sp][/QUOTE]
Why does it give you a "crew knocked out" kill when only 1 of them dies at 0:16?

If you start an absurdly deadly fire, it can kill the crew in 1.21 nanofucks despite not showing in the kill cam. Usually only happens with extreme damage near fuel or the engine.
I don't know how it works technically, but I think fires have two properties. A location and a severity. The location means that the damage is done spherically from that point, severity means how bad. You can get a tiny fire the fringe of your rear deck and burn for 5 minutes, or you can get a nasty one in the crew compartment and burn down before the extinguisher even works.
Somewhat related to what I was thinking a few hours ago. World of Tanks damage system is way more simplistic with HP etc, but also much more predictable even with the 25% RNG values. War Thunder has no "limits" to the RNG with its "realism", so you get absurdly retarded shots 1 in 1000 shells.

the last 3 are from replays and replays are kinda buggy when it comes to the kill cam - when it happened in game, with both RU-251, the list of shit that broke in the tank (including the fleshy meat-sacks operating it) was so long it overlapped the minimap :v

I remember the 25% RNG being hell in the WoT days for me, but War Thunder has some (quite simply) fucked design choices that can make the game absurdly frustrating.
Parts/FPE (and ammo; belts and payloads for planes) are the obvious jab here, less obvious is the still-to-this-day wonky penetration mechanics regarding more than one plate and [B]especially bounces, [/B]which just [B]LOVE[/B] to make solid projectiles traveling at fuck-you speeds disappear because they doinked off a 1 degree plate despite only needing to travel a hand's distance to hit the armor after that.
The pinnacle of this bullshit is those classic "I hit the lip of the 20mm track and it turned orange when I had 200mm pen and his side armor was 40mm" and the round disappears into the void. Worse still, when you clearly do penetrate, but because of spaced shit-tier armor (skirts, tracks, gear gubbins), 90-100% of your spall disappears and sometimes the APHE fuse doesn't even go off.
Creates a lot of "I was in the right place, he was in the wrong - [highlight]and I still got fucked in the ass twelve ways to Sunday because I forgot to praise the Snail God before clicking[/highlight]."
Other factors leak into that too. AI, unreliable bomb mechanics, [B]cannon and breech fuckery[/B], etc, etc. I still enjoy this a helluva lot more than WoT and I can never go back, but I will admit that even with the hardcoded 25% RNG values, I miss the predictability of WoT at times.
My favorite was hitting the side of a Hellcat with a 152mm HE shell and only making the tracks orange.

Physically impossible.
It creates some weird and beautiful moments too, however. I've gotten Brummbar's HE to detonate because it nailed the hat of someone in the back of a Slav-Truck before.

To think I could have the Shitfire by now, and that I was about 180,000 away this morning.

Has anyone here been able to beat the PvE mission, yet? Closest I've got is wave four manning a late Typhoon, and that's because I got to persuade my team to get altitude while I dealt with the howitzers that kept popping up (I had to land, anyway. Was running out of gas)

In Low-to-Mid Era it's possible, especially with a squad. Era V, you need to be fucking PERFECT which will never happen with pubs. Think we've had 1-2 victories around 3.7BR and I've had fuckin' 0 at 7.3.
I bring stuff from the sea.
Got really lucky and sank two Jaguars with a single torpedo salvo.

I also had a fun little hide and seek with a T95, I'll have to record it later.
Suuuper ultra late braking.

Well that was a bullshit torpedo if ever I saw one, I hope they add realistic arming fuses, basically glancing hits will just bounce off.

I really doubt that this could happen, at least I have never heard of an armor bug, or it ever happen to me. If you think something fishy happened with the damage model, check out the replay.
That being said, it's really wierd seeing you here. :v: Makes me think I came to the WoT megathread by accident.

Pretty sure that's already a thing at sufficiently shallow angles, at least I've had it happen few times in the past.
Oh wow, the gift Tu-2 is actually pretty good again. Performance is pretty much the same as Tu-2S (Probably even better, since the gift Tu-2 has more powerful and lighter engines than the later ones) and it can carry 4x 500kg bombs at 4.0 BR now.
Oh also

(That's a Maus 128mm shell passing through the corner of my tank, inflicting no damage whatsoever.)

did you manage to get out from between those buildings? looks like you were getting properly Gaijin-ed by the physics.
the best is when [I]one[/I] road wheel goes over the edge of a drop and then you just get completely stuck 'cause that one road wheel was apparently the only one giving your tracks any traction in Gaijin's fucky physics model.

I did wiggle my way out in the end, it just took a min.
Glad to see 105 HESH still fucking gets absorbed by Tiger II ammo racks without doing anything. :downs:

Shot a Tiger II cupola which was peeping out over some rubble, licked it with the coax first to make sure I had actual LoS given the shoddy collision models of some objects.
Got nothing. Not even a hit. Wicked fun when your reload is 35s long.

I'm severly struggling to enjoy it when the game goes thinks I want nothing but coverless flat-maps, AI-laden garbage, and also to sprinkle teleporting Ru-251s everywhere that my team fails to notice.

That has to be worth the 5K gold eagles in the thunder show or something
I could excuse this shit if it was actually 1HKO or hull-broke stuff, but I think only 1/3rd of my shots have killed anything outright. Which upsets me because when it does work, it's hilarious, but I'm abjectly better off just playing Sturmpanzer II or something. Reloads in half the speed, similar armor. Whine whine, git gud, etc.
[sp]Yes, that was me, Psi[/sp]
Also, becuase of how this game treats damage, just like the any other big-gun, you're wastin' time killing stuff because someone who blaps someone 9 times and eventually kills them is going to earn a boat-load more RP/SP than you deleting stuff outright.
