it does work tho

It bleeds speed incredibly it is quite mid

harrier, yak141 and su30sm/2 on their way to have the funniest ways to dodge radar missiles

harriers 2 have much better wings and much stronger engines, i dont see how the 1s would compete

True but we need speed to have the missile go more than 5km lol

They create a boat load more drag.

Increasing even further as it turns.

Harrier 1 should be able to sustain 14 degrees per second turn rate at basically any speed from 300 knots to 475

i mean you arent really expecting that with a harrier in any situation, really, harriers are mid

I’ve had multiple 30+ km kills in sim already.

It’s better than any hornet or F-2 slinging fox 1.

It’s even with r-77 slinging flanker

on the topic of war thunder graphics, they look pretty damn good outside of some non-reworked maps

I’m mostly complaining because I’ve been playing on afghanistan a lot lately and the terrain just looks so terrible devoid of any terrain features.
And then somehow the city portion of the map makes the game run at like half the frame rate while still looking abysmal

Thats not the games graphics fault, its the fault of 0 updates to the map

that’s probably true, I just started playing ground and the ground version of maps looks a million times better than the air versions of the same map.

Wish they can back port the textures to the air maps or something

Most ground maps by now are stunning at Movie alone, its the fault of gaijin being lazy about reworks being a thing every now and then, and then ONLY maps no one likes to play anyway. Tunisia at movie with ultra RT preset made my jaw drop at cloudy noon

iirc most WW2 maps are from even before War Thunder in the Birds title, that’s where most of the single missions came from

Yeah, that gets pretty obvious sometimes with building or rock textures, WTs graphics alone are gorgeous for a 12 year old game on an even older engine. We just need proper new textures for old maps.
We honestly dont even need entire reworks, just texture updates would be a blessing, including now reworked ones, some of the textures are questionable there

Still remember playing those games on the PS, iirc I still got the case somewhere

We also need some more modern single missions, they cooked with the cold war and ww2 ones atleast

Large air maps kinda have to look like that lol

Gaijin wants the game to run on low end PCs and on consoles and that’s hard to achieve with huge maps that use high res textures and higher polygon counts

Game would probably even struggle to run on high end rigs if air maps were high quality
