Ho 229 missing components and other misconceptions

You can say the same thing with the reports people have made. It’s down to providing enough sources that don’t contradict, but confirm that the position in-game is the wrong location. If you’re going to give up, you kind of waste everyone’s time, including your own. Another thing is using blueprint images as the correct position of the guns will not prove much. Remember people have made false information before.

It’s not worth it to report according to Smin1080p i can’t do anything about the speed, the FM, acceleration, guns rpm, fire accuracy, i can’t prove that the 229 can carry bombs, and can’t change it’s designation. So if i am going to report a drage chute that was already reported then why wasting my time i already have my share fare of devs ignorance in these two bug reports that i made a year ago.

German vehicles are doomed to be nerfed and i can do nothing about it.

Dude, Smin never at all said “It’s not worth reporting”, he’s stating that there just isn’t enough information to fully confirm it.

If you had taken a moment and didn’t skim what he said and paused trying to break it down he’s essentially telling you, to add more information, and right now certain things just don’t exist in the game because there just isn’t enough information such as how large is the Ho-229 Ejection seat, etc. We do not know and for all we know that isn’t real and was fabricated. Since the only ones who can confirm if its fact or not, are restoring the dang on thing.

That’s the problem there is no more information this is all of it you can’t find any, all left is to bring the Horten brothers back from the dead and ask them how did the tests went and what should have the 229 developed to i don’t have the information bc there isn’t any left XD

I press X to doubt that heavily. There is always more. The internet wasn’t made yesterday, it is over 41 years old. 64 Zetabytes, as of 2020. Meaning it’s larger in 2024. So there is more. You just need to look onto other places, or ask for assistance from others.

Aside from that, I’m posting the same location of the red paint on both pictures. Which is the same location as the proper gun mounting.

1.) Alternative 30 mm weapons:

2.) Bombs & rockets:

You don’t mind if I send one of your points in a bug report with some photos as evidence, do you? Of course I’ll give credit to the author. I’m also concerned about the problem of Horton’s incorrect 3D model.

Use what ever you want anything i post here is for ppl to use and benefit from

It would be nice however the Ho-229 we have irl that has been restored. Only ever had the 30mm configuration.

at the photo you see at bewaffnug that it can cary 4 MK 108 and 2 250 kg bombs but in warthunder it has no secondary wappons. the photo is from wikipedia so it is probably true.

As if they don’t already?

Legacy vehicles like the 229 and others, are long forgotten and poorly modeled, hopefully one day we can see remodeling for more old vehicles, same as KTs, bc ngl lots of vehicles need it, specially the Begleitpanzer…

It was not labeled due to my report not having an evidence towards the drogue parachute.

Research and document acquisition take time, however the report for the drogue parachute has been submitted and forwarded to the developers.

It is clearly documented the V3 was the standard used to present to the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM) only fitted with guns at the time, ETC 503 racks were envisaged onto the frame, not physically. This is a wrong claim for the V3 standard.

When the V6 prototype came to be, only then the ETC 503 racks were integrated. Technical documents for the Ho-8-229 V3-V6 confirm this from my understanding.

However it is unknown where the physical V6 prototype went, there is documentation four prototypes were captured; But most people miss that RLM wanted the aircraft operational than the estimated 1947 they were given, so Gotha was put into the picture and they manufactured several more prototypes to speed things up.

V6 has complete technical documents and was pretty much the improved version of the V3, like the V3 is to the V2. I think it would be a nice event vehicle if Gaijin requests the V6’s original technical documents, if not I will probably do it myself later this year.

I will be reporting the ejection seat later this week as I have the direct technical document for when it was implemented into the V3 after the unfortunate V2 incident, so please be patient.

A. L. Bentley illustrations aren’t evidence, they’re in fact often criticized as superficial from real technical documents. You also didn’t include the correct format of source listing, cover page title, authors, pg. numbers and ISBN.
