Update 2.45.1.92

Then how many lines of code is it for them to remove the sooty exhaust from Harriers for example. That was reported more than a year ago now.

Whilst I do understand some issues take time to fix, others slip through the cracks and are left in limbo for years

They have to compare videos, cause even I found a video of AV-8B pumping soot out of the exhaust.
Might’ve been less than in-game, and it’s still soot.

Higher speeds it probably burns cleaner, and if that’s the case it’s MANY work hours to have it sooty at low speeds and cleaner at higher speeds.

I have a report with a Primary source from the RAF (Harrier Gr3 tactics manual) and a “seocndary” (probably good enough to be considered primary actually) source (Sharkey Ward’s Book) for the Sea Harrier both having no visible sooty exhasut + 6 or 7 videos of Harriers of various kinds in leveled flight with no exhaust visible.

the only videos you will find with sooty exhaust is likely the Harriers in a hover and when they have Water injection enabled (I can contest to this from first hand seeing a EAV-8B+ at RIAT last year)

I even got an additonal Primary source from NASA about the soot-less exhaust and sent it to Gunjob to add to the report but was told it was unneeded, the evidence submitted was more than enough for the matter to be fixed. But they simply havent gotten around to it yet.

The only implementation they would need to make is to have WEP produce Soot if they want maximum realism, but the fact you can spot a Harrier cross map in ASB and VID it from the soot alone, is a mjaor nerf. One of many currently plaguing the Harriers.

War Thunder doesn’t have variable smokey code, it’s either all or nothing, with WEP being also all or nothing.

Would be nice to have though.

Then nothing is more accurate than having any at all.

The second best round fired out of the best gun (5s vs 6s).

Granted, I usually only care that both are technically the best round, cause at the end of the day nothing else compares to A2 and DM53 in-game currently.

It dose not matter, export Abrams have the same level of protection, they are just less capable of withstanding multiple strikes to the same area as the DUs density means that the armour deforms less when struck resulting in less stress fracturing, the tungsten alloy actually has a hair better pen resistance than DU. As armour degradation is not a factor in game it is completely irrelevant weather they use tungsten export or domestic DU composites.

It’s a 3.7 - 5.0 map, not 4.7.

It’s good that you can’t spawn large ships in a map for smaller ships, though that doesn’t mean that higher-tier Destroyers should be entirely exempt from playing the map.

It’s more like 500g or so.

Eh, M322 is still living up to its hype.

The instances I found on the recent ground map reworks have been yes. With that, it is in such obvious places that it should not even exist in the first place. In fact, the instances are SO obvious that it basically proves the map(s) was never in any QC at all.

I mean, it is OK to blindly love something with a passion but same time - slap back at the game where needs be.

Bruh💀

You can take the missing information about Abrams from advertising brochures at exhibitions and stands.

There’s also the Object 292 round as well. At 10.7 too.

Yes

Hell yeah hand me that Aroma Espresso Bar ice cafe immediately

The only explanation I can think of about this is because of the poor armor, Merkava Mains adjusted to a certain careful playstyle that increased their winrates.
It also does not help the low amount of battles compared to other MBTs in the same BR bracket.

There could be 50 Merkava mains who are very very good players, kicking its stats upwards.

Makes sense to me seeing all the braindead leo and soviet players rushing the obj thinking theyre invincible.

Loose nuts behind the wheel sadly.

can also fix the HE-111 bombs inside the bombay just dropping when they feel like it and making it miss most of the time.
maybe in general don’t give bombs collision with the plane in general? at least before they move away from it
