They’re also not the icon set NATO has ever used for single vehicles (they’ve used the “units” set). Plus the Soviet ones have their colors reversed (Soviets did the opposite of NATO and used red for friendly, blue for ebe y).
It’s look-cool ahistorical nonsense for both sets, can’t imagine why anyone would use them over the default icons.
Maybe someone else will take the time to go through all sources regarding the Wfr.Gr. 21, but the ones that talk about the installation and use of the Wfr.Gr. 21 on the Bf 110 and Fw 190 don’t make any mention of a “Zeitzünder” or ways to set a timed fuze.
I also can’t find any link between the “Zeitzünder S/30” and the Wfr.Gr. 21, Nebelwerfer 21 or Bordrakete 21.
The only times I see a timed fuze for the Wfr.Gr. 21 being mentioned is on forums, but the discussions on those don’t involve historical sources.
Maybe “L.Dv. 487” does include information about the Wfr.Gr. 21, but I cannot access that document.
I wouldn’t say that it is impossible for the Wfr.Gr. 21 to have an adjustable fuze, but I wouldn’t rely on AI to confirm or deny that, based on the sources it gave you.
To put it into even more context, a TIS MA literally won a GRB Match alone because it could fly directly into enemy AA and come out unscathed. It even tanked twin 37mm Mineshells to the cockpit.
Giving bombers a more challenging DM fair enough, but one of the best ground attackers is beyond insane.
There is no “Aim better”. There is no angle where you can effectively engage a bomber and kill it without its gunners killing you. I spent hours testing it on dev with a friend, neither of us could reliably kill the other in a bomber no matter what plane we were flying.
There is a big difference between not being killed in one shot, and being literally unkillable which is what the case now is.
There is a 2500+ reply long thread on the dev server section debating this and no, the current damage models are not realistic.
German reports were 15-20 MG151 hits to take down a B17. In game You can unload the full ammo capacity of an FW190 with four MG151s into a B17 and it flies off.
It took 4-5 hits from a Mk108 to kill a B17. Currently in war thunder it takes an Me262 with quad 108s most of its ammo to take one down.
Its completely unrealistic and incredibly terrible for gameplay
