For now.

Hehehe.

Knots for speed just feel more natural for me (Plus I play a lot of naval and im too lazy to swap out of knots when switching gamemodes) Also a lot of British cockpits display the speed in Knots in the cockpit

Feet just works with my brain for altitude, British thing.

Distance… Should probably be in miles I guess, but I just know everything as KM and it would be a pain to relearn distances, tried setting it to yards for naval, and it broke me :D

Just wish the targeting pod went off distance not alt for a unit of measurement, Ft instead of KM in that break me

[Jadenbetter]

I use all metric, am i french?

[Fluffy_Bucketles]

Still waiting for the option to set measurement units in naval to knots and nautical miles without tainting my other things.

@Jadenbetter

No, you’re right.

[Morvran]

Worse. I think you might be… German

Separate measurement units for Air, Ground, Helicopters, and Naval

poll I would like to have to the option to set different measurement units for the 4 different vehicle types: Aircraft Helicopters Ground vehicles Ships The measurement units are: Speed Altitude Distance Climb speed Temperature Even though not all measurement units are applicable to all vehicle types, changing the ones that overlap is quite important. For example I’d love to have km/h for speed and km for distance for ground vehicles but mph speed and nm distance when flying aircraft, and…

Make each vehicle type have different settings for HUD/UI

poll poll Currently, the tab Measurement Units in the settings changes speed, altitude, distance, etc. for all vehicles. [measurement units] For example, if I change speed to knots, then everything, aircraft, tanks, and ships, will display in knots. I believe it would be best if these settings were separated for each vehicle type, aircraft, tanks, and ships. That way, different vehicles can their different “standard” units of measurement. Ship speeds are normally measured in knots, but tanks …

We may not have Sea Eagles, but do now have Anti-ship missiels that work really well

Psst. We already have anti-ship missiles…

In general, they really need to be tried with new guidance principles…

@Morvran_

Knots for speed just feel more natural for me

I’m from mainland Europe (East) and my everyday language is metric. However, with the new Gripen interior interface, I’ll have to get used to imperial units. Although, in my opinion, they are insanely outdated.

British Weapon Systems - Technical data and discussion

Martels are gunna need some work I think. I’ll wait till live and see if they get further polished. They seem to not have any kinda of loft programmed into them and when fired at low alt at a naval target will just slam into the sea. They also have a tendency to still miss the naval target by flying too high when you do drop them from a higher alt 300ft launch vs 10km and it just hits the water despite the motor still burning [AJ168 Martels Crashing into Sea] Martel missing naval…

[Fluffy_Bucketles]

I haven’t seen this in forever. How dare you remind me of a snazzy thing I forgot

[Fluffy_Bucketles]

These suggestions make far too much sense to ever be implemented.

[Morvran]

Yeah…defo wishful thinking ;P

[F0x_Hunter]

Well… Looks like you need to kick the snail so it adds loft to them.

P.S. Should the aircraft carrier’s face be inspected when 3 bombs fly into it from nowhere?

[Morvran]

Welll… didnt check the bug list

https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/EuqSLUnUv0s0

There is an 8 month old report for that

@F0x_Hunter

Hu?

[Fluffy_Bucketles]

It is usually a safe bet to assume there’s an bug report on a minor nation thing not working proper. Usually also safe to assume that it is “not a bug” or the devs told the person reporting it to go screw themself.

[Morvran]

Yeah… there response is wierd on that report.

I understand what they mean, but at the same time, the entire guidance method for the Martel is technically a work of fiction. Giving it a 2000ft loft, especially when fired below 2000ft in alt seems like the minimum they can do

[Fluffy_Bucketles]

But you see, British.

[Morvran]

Yeah…

@Morvran_

I guess its just the low pop count of 12.3s and thus a lower priority.

But why? There are currently 10 planes with a BR of 12.3 in the game, including one premium. For 12.7, there are only 7.

@Morvran_

I reviewed what we will face at 12.7, its mostly going to be Yak-141s and Mig-29s. Gunna be annoying to deal with, but their radars arent great, so you should be able to sneak past more often than not.

In my experience, the current 12.7 in Sim EC is all about MiGs and Yaks. They just don’t let you fly peacefully, and they always have a numerical advantage, for obvious reasons.

true, thought it was more than that. Then I guess its to do with available brackets?

I really dont know tbh.

If Id hazard a guess. the 11.3-12.3 bracket we’d want would be rotation 3, that would mean a 12.7-13.7 bracket, which should be fine, but I guess for some reason they’d prefer 2x 13.0 brackets and no 12.3 bracket due to the more extreme difference in performance between many 13.0s and 13.7s?

But yeah, its wierd and annoying.

Yeah… Not that the redfor teams would EVER admit to the fact that that bracket is often dominated by Redfor.
