In War Thunder proximity fuses universally function upon reaching the point of closest approach (Closure rate goes negative).
Height of Burst would function at a fixed altitude but aren’t an implemented mechanic (Some are implemented as VT fuse such as the M732 Fuse on the 155mm “M106 (PF)” shells )
True. My fault. But… Discussing realism in this game is absurditie too.
Yep that’s Gaijin for you, far too many fictional, cut up for scrap and never built ships in this game. Russian tech tree says it all. Can’t wait for the next frigate sporting a pair of 380mm automatic cannons…Russian naturally.
This is factually false.
Germany has more uncompleted ships in its bluewater tree than Russia yet nobody complains about Germany.
Whaaaaaaatt? Another player perpetuating lies about the soviets having more incomplete ships?? Time for another posting of my list it seems…
Comparison between Germany & USSR/IR:
Germany:
• Z15 Erich Steinbrinck Type 1934A, Projected AA refit from my understanding (subject debated due to serving until wars end)
• SMS Sachsen Bayern class Battleship, not completed
• SMS Ersatz Yorck, Ersatz Yorck class Battlecruiser, 5% completion
• Gneisenau, Scharnhorst class Battleship, projected armament refit
• Z46 & Z47 Type 1936C, both scrapped on their slips.
• Z51 Type 1942, sunk in air raid iirc.
•Z52 Type 1944, dismantled on slip
• SMS Mackensen, Mackensen class Battlecuiser, never finished
• VS-10 apparently, trails done, ready for fitting out but bombed in air raid.
Current count: X technically.
The Soviets/ Imperial Russia:
• Project 68BIS-ZIF Shcherbakov, projected AA layout
• Project 69 Kronshtadt, 12" armed never completed
• Project 69I Sevastopol, 15" armed never completed
• Project 23 Sovetsky Soyuz, never completed
• Project 41 Erevan, never finished
• Project 82 Stalingrad, never finished
• Borodino class Battlecruiser Izmail, never finished.
Current count: VII
I’ve other nations if needed?
Sidenote, what the hell are you smoking for an automatic 15" armed frigate? Highest calibre on soviet/ later russian frigate were 4" iirc found on late Sentry Ships (SKR’s) of the Project 1135 type.
Isn’t that just a monitor at that point?
Would make Jackie Fisher blush in any case.
That’s perhaps the biggest lie I’ve ever heard. Just had 2 of my destroyers magazines blown by a Douglas in my own spawn.
Re-read my post
‘cannot kill anything above a destroyer unless it’s some god awful light cruiser with exposed magazines’.
The post wasn’t a lie, you’re just bad at reading comprehension.
Ah my mistake, but you can still easily kill light cruisers with it.
If they’re the god awful ones with exposed magazines like USS Omaha.
No, I’m taking just pure crew wipeouts. It’s very easy to weave at like 8km and completely avoid enemy shots in the Douglas.
Dunno why you cry about Douglas ?
Dunno why people cried about BMPT?
Nonsense, its situational at best. Even american PT-810/811 are on avg more capable due to good torps.
Bro seriously
Nonsene USS Douglas is situational Wooden Boat with 4 and only 4 missile even in arcade you need to go rearm in Cap point making you Food for every other high lvl boat.
Another nonsense Fog of War exist not only for Douglas happening too with Jap Destroyers and other Boats not to mention Planes yes using Rim vs planes do the same to Douglas vs planes
Situational Again because of high pen of 71.4mm and 49.28kg tnt it’s obviusly not a small missile lucky hit to not protected Ammo Rank don’t mean automaticly it’s game changing OP machine
Another nonsense 4 missile only 4 and now Bombers got buff
Wird you ask of such think yes right now USS Douglas is to high BR should be lowered and Reward increase for Premium Vechicle that got nerfed to the ground costing 6050 GE is a joke at it’s self
aha so other missile spamers are OK even the 3.3 because the can only shout down planes but you cry because the Missile is to big consider USS Charles Adam is 5.3 and have 43 of them so we should increase BR to 8 because of this?
