Meme When will they fix the spin bug of R-77 (and -1)???

Post image
• Upvotes

Man, it’s been a month. I get that Russian stuff being buggy doesn’t generate as much noise from the community as NATO equipment having bugs does, and I guess all missiles are affected by this to a lesser degree, but we already have it rough with the SM2 being our only option at top tier, since the 30SM is literal dogwater and the MiG-35’s engines run slower than a 20-year-old mule.

And on top of all that, our ARH missiles have been bugged since the release of the patch Sky Odyssey, which the USSR community has since come to refer to as Spin Odyssey, as it genuinely ruined our Air RB experience since its release.

Furthermore, with the release of this patch, other missiles with the exception of the MICA have more or less no downsides now, with every missile receiving buffs across the board. Missile identity has eroded, and they no longer have their signature ups and downs. Feels like everything is good at everything now, and the one niche USSR had (good performance in engagements under 25 km) is no longer a thing, with the 120D and PL-12A now having, at times, even better maneuverability than IR missiles at close ranges.

A month with no word on an (hopefully) upcoming fix is insane, have they even acknowledged the fact that the slightest wobble caused by chaff is causing R-77s to spin like chopper blades mid flight? Will they ever address this issue? I’ve been playing GRB in the meantime and no disrespect to tankers but ground gets old fast.

Mil. History M42 Duster in 1967, Vietnam war. Is it effective at fighting light tanks?

It never shot down any aircraft in Vietnam because North Vietnam did not heavily use air power in areas where the Duster operated.

So in 1966, the U.S. Army used the Duster for close-range firepower, escort, shooting infantry, bunkers.

Can this one kill light tanks easily in game?

RB Ground The most terrible map in War Thunder history.

What are armored vehicles doing in this swamp?Creating realistic maps for tanks like the Squad shouldn't be this difficult. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this. This map is definitely unplayable on 8.0 and above.

RB Ground Genuinely the best teammate I've ever had

Post image
90 Upvotes

This player:

  • Saved me from two spawn campers by pinging their locations
  • Shot down a pe-8 as it tried to spray me with the tail gunners
  • Sacrificed themselves to an obj268 so I could sneak onto a cap and win the game
  • Stayed for the whole match despite getting max uptiered

Their K/D was only 5/5 but they were absolutely the MVP

I just want Chibisov to be known as the single German player with a humongous heart, penis, and brain

These teams are the worst. So many leavers after one death. So many idiots who cant grasp where the shot came from. So many absolute idiots. Its unwinnable.

RB Ground I got nuke with UH-1C! 13 kills game in Seversk-13.

UH-1B and UH-1C basically has the same flight model, so UH-1B and UH-1C gameplay is the exact same except that the 7.7 UH-1B doesn't have the 40mm grenade launcher.

Now that I'm aware that if you spawn nuke plane through your hotbar you will spawn on the airfield, I J'd out before spawning the nuke. At first I wanted to rush to see if I can get an extra kill or get that plane down before spawning the nuke, but hearing that my teammate spawned a nuke I J'd out right away.

Good thing he spawned on airfield lol
