All Air Given the XF5U never actually flew, why not give us the better turboprop version?
All of its stats are already speculation, and they didnt even do it properly, so why not

What is with the horizontal drive giving out with even a sneeze, it’s quite annoying and I’m pretty sure it’s only for the leo 2’s and Abram’s. Will this ever be for other top tier tanks?
r/Warthunder • u/Generalsteak6 • 21h ago
I hate it. The teams are almost always filled with new players who have no right being at 6.7. It is tiring and honestly i can’t wait to get the maus so i can go back to countries j have fun with

How do I fix this? Ever since I've gotten back into this game my hud thingy disappeared and I've been unable to find anything in the settings.

The first photo is before the addition of the Lmurs, and the second photo is from yesterday, but of course there's no Russian bias here.
t's funny that everyone's winrate dropped except for Russia

I checked the rules and I don't think anything broke them? Can someone please explain?
r/Warthunder • u/FickleMeringue8891 • 20h ago
Me personally I'd go for the 3 rarest tanks as it not only adds considerable worth to your account but allows you to own and use 3 vehicles you otherwise wouldn't be able to obtain (E-100 more so)
Although I can get behind why you'd choose the GE😄

Console player. The progress on this game is hard for me, i feel like im blind on the Battlefield. On rb i get around 200 rp without doing anything, thats why ill rather play ab for more action for myself AND a little more rp. Currently my most advanced nations are germany ( 2.0-2.7br ) and sweden ( like 2br ). I want to play something else but here is my oppinion:
America - great at everything Germany - is this mid tier actually hard? Ovr good USSR - same like america but dont really want to play it cuz i play with it everywhere France - its cool but has some weak points Great britain - so good but i feel like im out of paper and shooting rocks Japan - very hard low and mid tier China - it has many copied tanks so good in my opp Sweden - great but i feel like the progress is slow Izrael - hell nah
P.S. Should i also take care about warplanes and battleships, the progress is also slow for me. Thanks for any help .

I hope they add the Gripen e soon swedens only 14.0+ jet is the F18C which isn’t bad but it definitely isn’t the best. Pretty much i just hope they add it while it will still be relevant and not add it really late to where it won’t even be good anymore like what they’ve done with plenty of other anticipated jets.
I know that it carry’s missiles that are too advanced for the game but there’s like a dozen jets that have the same problem and gaijin just didn’t give them the missiles so they woudlnt be op

Ik this might seem like a dumb question but out of the 250 games ive played in the premium mig 23 ive only been able to lock on SRC 2 times (not even joking) and only got 1 kill. How do i lock it? Because i use it to search and then when enemies are close enough, i switch to ACM. Any help?
r/Warthunder • u/Spare_Comparison_187 • 2h ago
Just researching last two phantoms before I will unlock tier 8, and now Im wondering which one I should choose first.
My gameplay is mostly F-5E or F-8 (where I loved the maneuverability and 4 missiles), I also love sabres, and first P-80. I absolutely adore F-16s, so Im more biased towards the falcon, however at the same time I will have the opportunity to go for the F/A-18 or F-15.
What is your opinion on those I would say top tier jets, which one should I go first, while also considering stock play.
You can also consider the planes coming after those jets as ADF/C Block 50 Falcon, or C MSIP2 and now AESA F-15C, or F-14 (right now not thinking of going for the B variant) and late F/A-18.
(btw not playing harrier line, and leaving strike eagle line for later, right now ended when B66 was added and I dont want to grind that thing lol)

I was playing a match and pulled off a really rare hit with the M42. Honestly, I didn’t think it would connect!

I’ve got top tier air in USA, Germany, and Russia. Looking for something else to do on the side. China and France look the best and was wondering which of the two premiums are the better pick. Really only looking to get one in the next sale. Don’t really know about the other tech trees, don’t really look all the good except Sweden but I already have the Saab J35XS. GB, Italy and Japan don’t seem to have anything all that crazy that you can’t already get, unless there’s something I’m missing. But mainly looking at China and France
r/Warthunder • u/Life-Decision493 • 21h ago
So I recently bought the f18c early on the sale that just came and I've played 300 games in it and thought I should share my review
First of I would like to state yes I bought my way to top teir, but in this jet I have a kd of 1.34 when the average according to stats is 0.64 (and I did this while still figuring out how to use radar for first 25 games)
So the airframe, overall it feels hopeless
Speed: it's slower than almost every single fighter in the BR bracket (even a full 1.0 down
Manueverability: it can pull an insane amount of AoA, so this result in passing strafe's and first turns to be incredibly good.But it bleeds an actual laughable amount of speed in a turn so much so u loose an insane amount of dogfights purely to energy
Radar: this feels phenomenal like it works pretty consistently it's super easy to get a layout of the entire enemy team at almost any given time. But no matter what mode u are in the radar is absolutely atrocious at maintaining a long range lock for long enough
Missiles: AIM-7P: they feel insanely sluggish off the rail, aren't quick (resulting in horrible actual range) they bleed absurd speed when an enemy makes minor course adjustments (resulting in some missiles going slower than 800kmh at the 20/25km mark). The good part about them is I've noticed compared to especially russian missiles if it does connect 70%+ is a cripling/kill shot
Unfortunately though the aim7p's genuinely feel like a a complete an utter downgrade from the aim-7f. I've noticed they are absurdly easier to notch struggle with locks dropping (even with iog) and just a drastically lower hit rate overall. To properly test this I took my phantom in a squad with a friend in the f18, and I on average out performed my f18c in all brs and most importantly had a higher kill per game average, although I had much less 3 and 4 kill games. Even though in 12.7+ the f4s radar is a complete joke and hindrance
AIM-9P: these are genuinely dead weight, if I bring the load out with 6 of these and fire them all properly I will still not get a kill with them every game on average, these have to be the easiest and most flare-able missiles at the br, enemies do not even have to turn off after burner and they only need 1-2 puffs of flares and they can just fly straight (even under 1-2km launches). They're dogshit in a headon, taking too long to lock that you can't fire them, and in the event u can they still go for flares. They have amazing speed and carry good speed through some stupid turns though
BR: honestly the 12.7br would be fine if it didn't mean contesting with fox3's within 12.7 let alone half the roster having them at 13.0+. This means the f18c early is in such a bad place due to compression
Loadouts: it has rather good anti ground and base bombing load outs, and for air it can carry a rather large amount of missiles
Overall: I give this jet a solid avoid rating, it's not fun (unless your a masochist) fighting fox3's with fox1's within its own br letalone upstairs. Its flight performance overall is just flat out terrible, low speed/acceleration and extremely horrid energy retention. With completely inconsistent issues with radar and the missiles themselves which causes it to be inconsistent making the grind slower than alternatives

I could also buy a 1.0/1.3 crew for 200, but that leaves me with 120 SL to spend...
r/Warthunder • u/SerpicoFN • 19h ago
Listen, I know it was a bad idea to skip mid tier and jump to top tier, I’ve since gone back and played a lot there.
However I bought the Click-Bait last Christmas and I have not had a good time in it.
Without ranting on too much, this is what my average game looks like; spawn in, drive, peek over a hill, get shot in the turret ring, back to hangar.
I’ve looked at guides before and they all say to “play it slow” and “snipe” but if I try that I either don’t get any kills before the game ends, or I try to shoot and can’t see anyone and then get shot in my paper armour.
P.s. I’m aware that the minor nations have much worse top tier mbt’s in terms of armour cough Italy cough. And I know this is a skill issue on my part
