that proves nothing, test a 9x or IRST against it
Can you show me when i have said that only russian tanks eat bombs?
I have said that with russian tanks its much more common to happen.
Besides that as we can see you had got zero damage which i think it means that the game never calculated the bomb damage to your tank like it never happened.
In my cases all tanks took an amount of damage but not leathal as they should.
Especially in the ferdinand - IS4 occasion both tanks took in the same battle in the same time an identical bomb hit but only the ferdinand was destroyed… i think its not the same.
I don’t think AAM-3s are IIR though ?
In fact we don’t have IIR air-to-air missiles currently
i think some of the ATGMs are IIR, like the Spike-LR and Spike-ER
which arent really A2A tho
Not A2A, and DIRCM weren’t working on them anyway. IDK About LDIRCM though, did not try yet
i think LDIRCM is working on anything IR guided, besides contrast seekers
Had a fair few GBU-10s bounce off the top of abrams and challengers harmlessly back then lol
By way of explanation for those not in the know - you have demonstrated a consistent ability to state facts which are patently false, have hot takes that run counter to common sense and generally display a stunning demarcation from reality.
Translation - You haven’t the slightest clue what you’re on about half the time.
Hope that helps.
Then what would we call that if not a form of bias (inherent or otherwise)?
We know for sure the devs do not implement mechanics and vehicles equally among nations, russia benefiting the most
Do I think it’s because they have a bit of bias ? Yes. Do I have proof ? No.
Bias or not, the core problem is that the devs do not implement mechanics and vehicles equally among nations
More or less similar to my current view.
Premium M1s and Leopards perform very similar to their TT copy paste equivalents. Some even exceed them when it comes to K/D or K/S.
It’s all there on SS.
You’re more than welcome to refute the hundreds of NATO documents I’ve cited, as well as the dozens of vastly smarter people on some subjects I’ve cited.
One of the people I’ve cited include tripod2008.
So by all means, prove NATO and the hundreds of experts in the War Thunder playerbase wrong. I shall wait for you to disprove all of them.
I don’t have a ‘favourite’ tree, I play Japan, Israel, China, Russia, Germany, Britain and Italy all in a relatively equal capacity, and frequently post in topics surrounding all of these nations, not once have I shown a clear or prolonged preference of a certain tree
This whole helicopters being immune to IR weapons give me flashbacks from playing ~9.3, where IR slingers couldn’t even touch semi-decent helicopter players because of the abysmal lock range. I guess they want to create that at top tier as well.
I don’t think that’s quite the same.
By choosing a tank you’re most often totally helpless against all aircraft, especially higher up in BR.
By choosing SACLOS over IR/ARH you at least can target one type of aircraft.
Anyways, I don’t know how will this pan out, as slinging FnF missiles way past 10km gives you a lot of time to hide. This might be their return to glory.
They should definitely implement the blade return, as now it’s even easier to just break LoS from the AA and you’re good to go.
I’m also interested to see how well those helicopters would be able to defend from ARH missiles, as you wouldn’t be able to just break LoS from the AA to defeat it.
Well it does seem like it, question is why they didn’t choose to address the addition of LDIRCM in a roadmap/devblog in order to lay out how different nations would or could receive a viable LDIRCM or counter, but instead they are just shoving it into the top tier enviroment with little in the ways of justification or balance
Gaijin likes to shove things into the game and I suspect they’re aware they overdid the buffing of AAs and are now trying to find ways to deal with it, at least until they’re ready to push HARMs into the game.
Seeing the ~9.3 situation with IR SAMs and helicopters, I doubt we’ll be receiving proper counters anytime soon. If planes don’t outrange AAs or make them useless, then helicopters will. At least that’s what I think Gaijin likes to do.
Are missiles with the Contrast Lock-on mechanic still defeated?
Have no idea, not like missiles with contrast lock we have in the game can even get 10km+ locks anways.
Well, It’s not like an Imaging Seeker doesn’t use Contrast to perform it’s lock-on by dint of using an array.
I could see an argument being made for the modern seekers at least, even if it doesn’t extend the range but provides a counter to IRCM.
