phantoms taking rocket pods was a way people trolled a couple years ago, theyd set firing to series and just watched. server killing results came from 3+ people doing it at the same time.
i thought its still possible to crash a server with heavy AAA ships no? renown, baltimore, alaska and etc?
I knew I wasnt a crazy person for believing the Lightning had overwing bombs!
Not that i’ve seen of “late”. At least hasnt happened in a while when ive taken Renown out
Gaijin could spend some money and beef up the games code lol.
And overhaul the game engine. Effectively making the next gen war thunder with more realistic FM and all.
Because illumination flares only ignite many seconds after release meaning they are no-where near the aircraft when they ignite and the missile will never see them.
It was considered, but never actually done IIRC.
According to gaijin thats all we need (also if it got wired that helps lol, would be funi)
You need more than that. As far as I know the over-wing bomb racks were never built or tested. Or even mocked up for that matter.
It’s just something English electric said they think they could do if someone wanted to pay for development of it, and no one did.
Interesting discussion about the BAe Sea Harrier’s Technical Data.
Most on topic WT forum thread fr fr
Interesting that those both say the dual SNEB pod carriage for Harrier was only with the lightweight, 19-shot expendable Type 115/116 pods rather than the heavy, re-usable 18-shot Type 155s we have ingame (155s shown as single carriage in the second image)
This is a 116M pod
The aerodynamic cone was frangible and blew away when the rockets fired
The CRV-7’s LAU-5003 pods are similar in this regard IRL. But in War Thunder we have LAU-51s as the CRV-7 pods instead of proper LAU-5003s
Ligma launcher
Who the hell is Steve Jobs?
I think he started Cherry or something
Back on topic of the Sea Harrier.
You can beat slatted Phantoms at altitude.
9L acting like how 9M should
Meanwhile it should be acting like a R73 in tight turns, like an AIM174B at range, DF 41 speed and IRCCM and lock-on of the most advanced ASRAAM
lol he didn’t switch the afterburner off so that’s how the 9L should be but reliable
we need to get this behaviour more normal. and give the F5 its actual engine heat as that’s a major thorn at 9L BRs too, there was a thread years ago about it with flame but went nowhere, maybe we can have another shot at it all
I will look into the F-5 turn rate too it can apparently do like 20 degrees a second in game which is just mental and not realistic as far as I know.
