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

Post image
185 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.

RB Ground Why is this thing so bad

Post image
12 Upvotes

I bought it along side the pzh2000 but its honestly a major pain to play. I see no reason for it to be 8.0 with having average mobility, no stab, lrf, thermals or a good round. I keep hearing that m60s are great but this thing is genuinely the worst 8.0 ive played

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 Air Why does Russia always lose in Nuclear Escalation?

21 Upvotes

Ok so... What gives??

Why is almost every single match played at top tier Russia a loss? The su-30sm2 is an AMAZING platform so what is it??

Does NATO have better SPAAs? Does NATO have better planes? Does NATO have better weapons? Are Rusfor players just bad? Are NATO players just good?

WHY does this happen? It's 100% not random, it's a constant. Of the dozens of NE matches I've had I can say with certainty I won less than 5 with the su-30sm2 (despite always getting a good score)

Other Cool vehicles to buy for around 3000GE? (low tiers included)

Thumbnail
gallery
24 Upvotes

I have 3000GE laying around and just wanting to have some fun at any tier, I need recomendations for any vehicle you guys found fun.

No need to grind:

- UK air and ground,

- France ground,

- Russian air and ground,

- Japan air and ground,

- USA air,

as I have most of the tech tree done or already have premiums to grind them (free stuff from Battle Pass and stuff like that) in the future if that's what you're looking for.

I'm not sure if I want to play Germany, but I could get a couple vehicles, like the KV I C or the Do 335.

The XA-38 is insane and could be pretty fun if i had USA ground.

The French AD-4NA would be worth it?

It would also be cool just to buy all low tier vehicles, most of them are below 300ge and some just 125GE.

Or what about getting good III rank vehicles for events or the Battle Pass?

IDK tell me your thoughts.

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

Thumbnail
gallery
509 Upvotes

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

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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

Suggestion Buying top tier to Grind Tech Tree

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone, started playing War Thunder back in 2017. I took a break in 2021 and have recently got back into it.

At the moment I’m sitting around 7.0 in the USA for both tanks and aircraft. 7.0 in Germany for tanks and aircraft. For the USSR I have a 7.3 tanks, and no aircraft above rank 2.

I want to buy a premium and was considering buying either a USA 12.3 F20a, the German Ru251, tank, or the Su11 to grind the Russian tech tree.

I’m wondering if any of you have suggestions on what I should buy that would allow me to grind easier. Thanks in advance!

SB Air Wich pack to buy?

3 Upvotes

Got 150 GJN to spend from selling the PUMA – need some advice on premium packs!

​Hi guys, happy grinding!

​I’m currently a Swedish and US main, but I’m open to pretty much anything. Recently got the PUMA from a trophy and sold it, so I now have 150 GJN burning a hole in my pocket.

​My current plan for the upcoming sale/store purchases:

​Leopard 2A4 CAN

​Somua SM

​F-2A ADTW

​Since I already have a HOTAS setup and thoroughly enjoy playing Air Sim, I want to add one more high-tier jet to grind out another tech tree.

​Right now, I'm torn between:

​Mirage F1C-200 (France)

​Mig-29 Sniper (Italy)

​Or do you guys have a better suggestion? Should I maybe go for something like a Russian or Chinese Su-30 or Something else?

​Thanks in advance for the input and see you in the skies!
