That was not the point of that text. Point was only the first shot from NS-45 land where you aimed. Second one is way off as whole plane shifts under recoil.
- Someone doesn’t know his history, German pilots were given Pervitin which is meth, to be able to keep up with demanding conditions of those small experimental aircraft.
I’m not even talking about strictly mbts here. But, if we are going that route, many mbts had internal fuel tanks until about the 1980s.
Do I have a data mine? No. I play on console.
Do I have experience in many nations, and only one seemingly has this “bug” we will call it, yes.
Do I have experiences from other people I play with whom mained countries such as USA, and Germany, who then decided to try Russia? Yes.
They’re biggest complaints throughout the whole tech tree were:
Lack of penetration
Lack of gun depression
Lack of roof mounted HMGs
And constant fuel explosions.
Hell, one buddy of mine, who recently spaded the T72 told me “I think I’ve only died to those stupid fuel explosions the whole time I’ve played it, and diesel takes quite a lot to explode”
Again, not a mechanic modeled in WT. unless it moves the Whole plane.
Not even the XA-38 grizzly does this, and that has a 75mm
It is modeled in WT because shooting your guns slows you down in other words recoil slows you down. But its not done right for high caliber guns. That is an issue here.
Well I’ll continue to fly my much better XA-38 with the cannon to pierce much more, and bombs and a defensive armament to boot!
Actually the likes of the Hs-129B-2 (with either the 30mm or 37mm gunpods), the Stuka G-1/G-2, and the Bf-110G-2 all do get thrown around if you stand on the trigger, which makes attempting to use them as good cannon CAS very difficult. And that’s before factoring in how common F4Us, F6Fs, Fw-190s, Bf-109s, P-63s, Yak-3s, Zeroes, and so many other really good prop fighters are, which do not exactly give you time to make many mistakes while aiming. Hence why the Stuka Gs are almost never seen in Ground, the Hs-129B-2 is almost never seen, the Hs-129B-3 is once in a great while, and Bf-110Gs always carry bombs instead of the 37mm gunpod.
Cannon CAS is already at an inherent disadvantage vs bomb/rocket CAS.
Bomb and rocket CAS can fly close to tree-top level, pop up, drop or volley-fire on something, and run like hell, Wild Weasel style. Very difficult for SPAAG to predict unless they hear you coming, only real counter is other fighters.
Cannon CAS, on the other hand, struggles to pen the sides of most tanks it encounters (the Yak-9K included, and the Yak-9UT without a doubt). In order to pen anything significant, you need to fly much higher up which means everything on the ground or in the air WILL spot you, pick a target, fly straight towards them in a flat course to aim the gun, and hope no SPAAG opens up when you’re pulling out of your dive. Due to the looping maneuvers that result, you’re much slower for both SPAAG and fighters to intercept. Add in RNG gun recoil and rudder bricking on all platforms with said big guns other than the Yak-9, and what you end up with is “technically realistic but so un-fun to play that almost nobody would ever bother.”
I see the Hs-129s all the time.
It’s literally a meme in my gaming circle, as we have someone named “Duckslayer” and he always gets killed by the Hs-129 aka the “Duck”
Yes, I know, and not just the pilots. I don’t see what this has to do with the game though?

What is this supposed to be?
wow that’s crazy
anyway the USA gave their soldiers amphetamine sulfate. To make it worse, not only did they manufacture far more of it, but there were less servicemen in the american military, and the war was far shorter for them. So per soldier they had ~5x as much drugs than Germany.

Why not just let other nations get similar things? I do remember German has APHE for MK103 and BK37, but for some reason, Gaijin just believes it is a SAPHE

Fun fact - the 37mm Flak36, Flak43, and Flak44 are all literally identical to the BK 3,7. The Ostwinds should get the same APCR round the BK 3,7 has. And for the same reason, the BK 3,7 should get the same 49mm pen APHE the Ostwinds have.

Apparently war is not only good for economic gain, but drugs!
Considering how “accurate” the AK-630 using the same gun on a stable mount, i don’t expect great accuracy from the aerial version, even at 4K RPM
Yeah, sure.
You won’t even get that ratio in WT 😂
The average pilot maybe shot down a single plane going through all of their ammunition.
I actually have some record about the NS-37, listing various targets destroyed, from tanks to trains and aircraft.
I don’t remember the exact number but it took like at least 100 rounds per destroyed target.
Edit: It’s ~66 rounds per destroyed target

It’s survivorship bias.
I was using it to point out 2 things :
-
You may die to fuel explosions more often as your turret is very well armoured, plus fuel tanks on Russian tanks are all internal, I believe there was one under the autoloader at one point, don’t know if it was removed or not.
-
you remember the fuel tank explosions more than the other deaths. They stand out in your memory for forget the times your ammunition detonated or you just got crew sniped one by one.
I’ve seen nothing to indicate Russian fuel tanks explode any more than anyone else’s, just that they’re internal and easy to hit even accidentally. I’ve see Russian fuel tanks stop many many rounds as a counterpoint to your anecdotes.

It basically says ns37 on yak9t is very good and we’re very happy with this. I never doubted it 🌝
Say what you will.
I remember exactly how I die every time, I inspect the kill cam throughly.
I don’t have “survivorship bias” I love how forum users come up with new forma of bias daily….
And yet discredit personal experiences and evidence.
Idk about u guys but I barely see Yak9k get more than two kills before they do smth rly stupid and explode. I have yet to die to one in a tank, and I play Swedish 4.0, which seems allergic to getting Russian teammates
Notice how it doesn’t specify “armoured vehicles”.
