I’ve seen countless forum shills use a screenshot from that website to back up their argument so Im gonna guess this guy is also in that IQ bracket and also uses it since he thinks its the guns fault(???) and not the selective cherry picking of data being used by a certain dev team
people use websites like this, and look at 3d animations of armor penetration on youtube and forget these animations and calculators take a shitton of liberties and overall just completely avoid calculating certain thingsa. theyre cool but theyre not a reliable source in absence of congruent evidence, and most importantly they are not a way to disprobe primary and secondary sources. theyre really cool when theyre done with old declassified vehicles, but theyre borderline useless in any other scenario.
these people are legit worrying.
Parroting the usual stuff.
People insult the CR2 gun performance when there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. The main drawbacks of a rifled barrel are increased wear and non-standardised ammunition with the rest of NATO.
In terms of penetration power there is nothing wrong with the gun/dart IRL.
So does GJN, judging by the amount of “we think”, and “we believe” copium they’ve been dishing out over the last month.
Even World of Tanks has had a better steering system than War Thunder for years.
That tells you everything.
i am fairly sure they’ve got a problem with whichever compartment is doing the research for the game, the amount of cherrypicking sources, bad research, bad math, and overall incompetence is really worrying
They’ve had that problem for a decade now
I remember one of the guys, Nabutso coming on our teamspeak and talking about how he’d utterly fabricate things for the Yaks that made them perform like UFOs
He’s the reason the La-15 and La-174s rip in a straight line
His reason? “I like the MiG-15 more”
He got the boot back in like 2015-16 for some reason, but the trend has never changed it seems
I love the game, but Gaijin needs to be more careful with who they hire for certain things
the APFSDS being shit with rifled barrels is the same kind of myth as radar being stopped by the ground, its an incredibly outdated piece of info, and when i say incredibly i mean literally decades old info
maniac of a dude, but its not his fault imo, its the fault of whoever is responsible for overseeing this shit show.
The problem is their “research team” probably gets told the decision, and that they need to go find evidence for it. As GJN’s decisions have become more unhinged, the copium “research” blogs have gotten more comical.
he was the lead FM dev for a long time. He who cracks the whip
Gaijin needs to be as willing to smash heads as the mods we like to compare to a certain Soviet 3 letter agency do here
Just clean house if you need to internally
i wouldnt be surprised if this was the issue, but the way youre stating this is as if you know this as a fact you need to change your wording cause whilst it wouldnt be surprising i dont think we have any proof for this
Why crack heads when you have idiots on here who willingly send classified data to the devs who totally dont send that data to the same 3 letter alphabet agency. Nah dude its all a conspiracy, Gaijin is based in Hungary, a great ally to the west :)
didnt one of the main FM devs KILL the WEP on Fw 190s by just saying that it looked like it was too exagerated?
based?
hungary famous of their lack of connections with russia, yes yes
Yeah fair enough I’ve edited it. It’s my working theory for how GJN operates, and so far it perfectly explains their behaviour with the MANPADS/CR2 devblogs.
my favourite thing is when russian act like their tanks are so much better than western tanks, but then they manage to kill a single CR2 without killing any of the crew and then act like they defeated the entire west and it was the final boss of the ukrainian army. gotta love it
And throw it in the bin example of which everyone seen in manpads thread just like in many many other threads before.
man after the last 2 devblogs of their “research” i didnt think they’d have the gall to release another one so soon, especially not another shittily made one, on one of the worst implemented MBT’s in the game.
