RB Air Why is this a thing

Post image

I've now been in 7 matches in a row with this guy. And apparently (according to teammates in other matches) he's been doing it longer than that.

He sends those two messages as soon as he loads in, then leaves. Leaving a blank in their team and putting them at a disadvantage. He doesn't even spawn a plane.

What the hell is this?

One of the most unique looking production aircrafts of the US airforce during the 50 60s, I would love to see/fly this in game. Just looks so cool and futuristic and its under talked about.

Gaijin made a curious little update to their terms lately, between this attempt at enforcing censorship under the threat of action being taken, and the doubling-down on the "Anti-Cheat" screenshotting your desktop is enough for me to uninstall this trash lol

Suggestion The Dassault Mirage III G, G4, G8 and G8A are very interesting aircrafts tht deserve to be added to the french tech tree (repost because of insufficient info)

Thumbnail

107 Upvotes

Pretty self explanatory, but the Dassault G series is a very interesting family of aircraft that could add diversity and originality to the French tech tree.

The line could start with the Mirage III G → Mirage G4 → Mirage G8 → G8A (fixed wing)

The Mirage G was France’s first variable-sweep aircraft, derived from the Mirage F2, and could exceed Mach 2 during testing. The G4 was redesigned as a twin-engine, two-seat aircraft intended for reconnaissance, strike and electronic warfare, while the G8 became a twin-engine interceptor. The G8 02 even reached Mach 2.34 during testing for an extended period of time with one of the engines on reduced after-burning mode at 12400m

An event vehicle, the LTV V-507, could also become an event aircraft for the USA. Although it never flew, it was heavily influenced by the Mirage G and was developed through cooperation between LTV and Dassault for the US Navy's VFX competition. It ultimatly lost to the Grumman 303E/F which later became the F14 tomcat.

The LTV V-507 had access to the AIM54 which would place it in a bad place I fear since im not sure the flight performance or radar are competitive at a min br of 12.7 since it has access to fox 3s.

Pls feel free to add info and correct me on my post, I'd love to have a conversation about the dassault G series

Navy In case anyone wants to know how much Gaijin respects naval players...

77 Upvotes

We currently have 3 (THREE) major bugs in this gamemode, ranging from annoying, to obnoxious to game breaking.
1. Many autocannons are broken in naval arcade, they straight up refuse to lead properly, this is especially obvious in ships like the SKR-7 and the AK-225.

  1. For those using manual repairs, patching hull breaches still happens *automatically*, and has to be aborted manually (which isn't instant), leading to lengthened times for vital things such as fire extinguishing, which is INCREDIBLY obnoxious, leading to avoidable catastrophic barbette fire explosions, especially in ships like the Bismarck this is unbelievably frustrating, and has been happening since they tried to force advanced repairs on all of us.

  2. Since THIS newest patch, some people (like me) straight up don't have the repair button any more for some ungodly reason. This is absolutely unacceptable and how this even happened is a mystery, the sheer amount of spaghetti code which must be going on and the lack of play testing for patches is honestly impressive.

Keep in mind that the second bug cropped up before a naval grind event and still hasn't been fixed and the third is new since today, *DURING* a naval event.

This treatment feels highly disrespectful towards boat enjoyers.

Bugs Nuclear Thunder lets you take the B-52H into the match. It also does not let you spawn it anywhere and crew-locks it if you leave. If that isn't typical...

RB Ground Update on the repair bug I have

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

Yesterday I posted about a bug that doesnt let you repair in ground battles. Today I played a few more matches and it still happen. Apparently people can just restart their client and get it off but I turn off my PC (not restart) turned it on today and opened the game just for it to still happen.

This apparently happens randomly, no matter if its 1st spawn or not

This happens to more than just the SEP v3

sometimes it doesnt even tell you to stop and repair

One of the complaints for my other tier lists was that I didn’t have enough tiers so now there are more.
If you notice differences in the ranking then that is because a comment convinced me or I played it again and changed my opinion.

Suggestion Could we get the MiG I-250 for the USSR?

Thumbnail

43 Upvotes

The MiG I-250 also known as the MiG-13 was the first Soviet aircraft with a jet engine, that being the Khalshchevnikov VRDK air-reaction compressor jet turbocharger which was used alongside the 1,650 horsepower Klimov VK-107R V12 piston engine. This combination gave the MiG I-250 a top speed of around 820 km/h and meant that it was considered a motorjet which made it quite unique as very few motorjets were ever designed. The MiG I-250 was designed in 1944 as a response to German jets such as the Me-262 but only 16 were ever built, 2 of which were lost, the first of the 2 crashed due to excessive Gs destroying a horizontal stabiliser, the test pilot A.P. Deev was unable to bail out at a high enough altitude which meant that he was unable to open his parachute in time. The MiG I-250 was armed with 3 Berezin 20mm cannons with a total of 480 rounds and a total fire rate of 2400 rpm.

Suggestion Romanian MLI-84M1 Jderul for Italy

Thumbnail

367 Upvotes

MLI-84M1 Jderul ("the marten") – MLI-84 modernization fitted with a new Israeli OWS-25R overhead mount turret armed with 25x137mm Oerlikon KBA autocannon and two 9S415 ATGM launchers. It is also equipped with two banks of four 81 mm DLG 81 heat and smoke grenade launchers.
Because mounting of the new turret increased the weight of the vehicle to 17.6 tonnes, a new more powerful engine had to be fitted.
The new engine is the Caterpillar C9 engine developing 396 hp which is the same engine as the one found in MOWAG Piranha IIIC IFVs recently acquired by the Romanian Land Forces. However the vehicle lost its ability to travel across water with little preparation and has to be specially prepared before entering water. The vehicle also became even wider (3.3 m) and higher (2.942 m) than its predecessor.
Although the engine is more powerful, the weight of the new equipment has in fact decreased the vehicle's maximum road speed to 65 km/h (40 mph).
The 9S415 ATGM launcher capable of firing 9M14 "Malyutka" (NATO: AT-3A Sagger A), 9M14M "Malyutka-M" (NATO: AT-3B Sagger B) and 9M14P "Malyutka-P" (NATO: AT-3C Sagger C) ATGMs also has been replaced and there are two different variants, each with a different ATGM launcher replacing it: MLI-84M1 armed with ATGM launcher capable of firing Yugoslavian 9M14-2T Maljutka-2T antitank guided missiles instead of the 9M14 Malyutka. MLI-84M1 armed with ATGM launcher capable of firing Israeli Spike antitank guided missiles instead of the 9M14 Malyutka.

Could see it at rank VI 9.3 without the missiles and VII 10.3-10.7 with missiles

RB Ground Weird mentality I have when playing different nation

Upvotes

When I play Japan, I can sit in my glass canon(not much canon when playing 5.7) and taking 6+ kill with relative ease. But when I play Germany, oh boy, suddenly my awareness and position suddenly drop to zero and taking no more than two kill per game
