8.24 Minutes of INTRIGUING War Thunder Details!

[@koppanybudai7777]

About the stingers not locking the Sun, every missile that has "ECCM" in the game has bandMask4 rejected, meaning the Sun, normal Electro-Optical IRCM and the heat signature of rocket/missiles is not visible them.

[@Nottrules]

For the R-27 you can lock the sun however it doesn’t seem like the seeker actually sees it

[@koppanybudai7777]

​@@Nottrules Ah yes, I forgot to mention the exception, the R-27T doesnt have the bandMask4 rejection, so it can still see the Sun, what it has and what gaijin calls ECCM is a decreased seeker FOV after lock is acquired. This is also present in all other "ECCM" equipped missiles. In reality, none of these are ECCM, but IRCCM and I have no idea why gaijin uses ECCM. ECCM refers to electronic shielding for example, to reduce the effect of high power ECM pods that could cause the shorting of electronics in the missile.

[@riuneko]

irl the Stinger has a double seeker and in addition to IR can also see UV shadows, which helps it distinguish physical large objects from flares and sun

[@chaos2876]

@@koppanybudai7777 Yup, and the label is also applied to ground based missile systems in a similar way. Any ATGM that has the "ECCM" stat is immune to IR dazzlers, despite it being an IRCCM function.

[@Grenvolde]

The F-86 has a system that controls the throttle after the imput of the pilot (i think it's called CPDCV or MFC) and in certain situations the vane trim does not allow for good efficiency so the system injects more fuel for greater power accuracy. I don't think you can bypass this system but in theory the pilot has predefined power levels based on certain specifications just to increase efficiency. I could also be wrong because I read it in two articles from several years ago on the efficiency of blade design and the control of the angle of attack of the blades and its controls. I think is this the cause (not implemented so good but ok), if im wrong please correct me

[@underseaowl7440]

I don't know if other people have noticed this, but every city map, Sweden, Berlin, Breslau etc, all the clocks posted around the city all stop at exactly 3:00 pm. As someone posted quite a while ago, if you are doing the Naval test drives, for small boats, there is a cave with a burning boat inside it. The buildings on Abandoned town, Aral Sea, Seversk-13, all share the same artworks on the sides of the buildings. On Ash River, if you go North, towards the main sea, go left or right at the cliffs and you will be on the Cliffed Coast Map.

[@KibuFox]

The reason the Italian torpedo boat has two different torpedo sizes, comes down to doctrine. Like other nations, Italy expected to use torpedo boats as raiders. However they also wanted them to be effective against escort ships. The lighter torpedoes normally carried by torpedo boats, while they weren't completely useless against escort ships, it would often still take two or three hits to knock a destroyer out of action. To counter this, Italy provided their boats with a larger torpedo. In theory, this larger torpedo could be used against a destroyer, taking it out of action, while the smaller torpedo was used against the convoy. Since these boats worked in groups of three or four, sometimes five boats, having the odd torpedo complement didn't adversely affect its capabilities.

[@stein_the_lynx3284]

2:49. i'm not 100% certain but my guess would be that since the RPM of the engine has gone down there's more are in the compressor leading to more of a combustion thus burning more fuel in the process as it has more time to add more fuel and air to burn instead of it being pushed through faster leaving less time for the mixture to be added and burned. could be completely wrong but just my guess

Interestingly enough those stat card images don't really take into account when the vehicle was produced or pressed in to service. Found that at rank 6 you get the first coloured images for the stat cards (with few outliers) This leads to an interesting problem of seeing tanks designed in late 50's or 60's (T95E1, T-55A, T-62, ZSU-23-4) having coloured images, while tanks designed in +70's NOT having coloured ones (Marder 1A3, Vickers Mk.3, FV102 Striker, OF-40, AMX-30 (1972)) And then there's the Marksman brothers, where the British one, while being an older one, HAS a coloured image. Where as the Finnish one doesn't have a coloured image due to the rank difference.

[@tugaptgamer8466]

[@xanderwusky]

interesting video :D have a few timestamp comments :) 00:00 that same plack is in many other planes as well (some exactly others very similar looking) 2:40 might have to do with the engine running more efficiently at 100%, not sure but at top speed planes often run more efficiently then just below it. Maybe this has something to do with what the engine is designed to do (and ofc this could just be a mistake too) 4:35 yes, this is intended (assuming this missile should have this). In US planes the aim 9L will still lock onto the sun (and everything older then it as well) but the aim 9M will not. Some ir seakers can essentially tune out the sun (i dont think this makes them fully immune to the sun, it will at least be easier to dodge but yeah pretty much immune to it)

[@thesturmvogel6359]

the fuel consumption is to do with a type of throttle sometimes called a bleeding throttle. where at 100 percent power the throttle opens all the way, but between 3 and 99 it becomes stiff which is to do with safety and exactly why varies plane to plane. but it is definitely like that, even for some props like the DA42 Twinstar Diamond

2:30 funny thing, didn't know the R3 was built by mussolini himself to win the war, since it's in black and white. Pretty sure the black and white to digital transition was intended to be represented like was stated in the video but gaijin just lazily applied the filter by br/rank rather than look at a vehicle individually.

[@toast3976]

The color stat cards were specifically added in an April Fools event many years ago (2017, I think). The event allowed players to drive Leopard 2A5s, T-90s, AH-64s, and Mi-24s back before helicopters, supersonic jets, or MBTs. If you moused over one of the vehicles during the event, you'd see a color stat card, highlighting the contrast between the April Fools joke and the regular game. A little while later, they released rank VI ground forces, and made it so every stat card starting with rank VI was in color. I didn't know about the digital stat cards, though. I don't know when those were added.

[@deruta37]

[@magnum6763]

Another fun little tidbit that i dont think anyone talks about, the B-26B in the US TTs camouflage shows it in the Normandy paint scheme, but it has a torpedo as an armament loadout. No B-26s modified to carry torpedoes were deployed into Europe, with the few that were deployed to the South Pacific and Aleutian Islands. On another note, the French never slapped a torpedo onto a B-26. And the paint scheme is sort of wrong (not entirely wrong, the gray part is a bit too low, but thats about it) And the statcard image for the US one is (i believe) based off the 4 that engaged the Japanese fleet at Midway.

[@ODST_Parker]

On the subject of ordnance appearing in stat card images, the Tornado IDS is an interesting example. You actually have to use the loadout system to create a preset for the "without load" option most planes come with. The default configuration for the IDS includes the wing-mounted drop tanks, not included in the stat card image. EDIT: Oh, and the missile reloading thing feels like cheating! I did this with the Chinese BMP-1, and I felt so awful. It was a full down-tier to 6.3, I was in a perfect hull-down position on the capture zone, and I had wide open sightlines. I think I got seven or eight kills.

[@lordwintertown8284]

G'day, the Italian MS-53 isn't alone for the British Fairmile 5001 carries both 553 mm & 450 mm torpedoes an that doesn't just stop with MTB's but included the Imperial Japanese Armoured Cruiser Ikoma with broadside submerged tubes launching 533 mm torpedoes and a stern submerged 450 mm torpedo. (I have gotten exactly 1 kill with an aft tube). If anyone wants I can list a bunch of obscure naval related tit bits from vessel related to map related things one odd example the Rettungsboje (rescue bouy) found on several maps.

Pretty sure the 335 was a night fighter. Thats why it has an identification chart. Similar to U-boats, for ships.

[@toast3976]

While there were night fighter variants of the Do 335, the wingspan chart is relevant for day fighters as well. One of the British planes (I think the Spitfire Mk IXe with the gyro sight selected) in Il-2 BoX has the same thing. In real life, the wingspan and distance to target can be adjusted using two dials, which in turn changes the dimensions of the gunsight. When the target fills the gunsight, and assuming you have the right wingspan, then that means you're at the distance you've selected. This is useful for holding your fire until a certain range, and it can make gyro gunsights a lot more accurate.

If you want to talk about an asymmetric vehicle, look no further than the Staghound spaa. The turret ring is covered by a plate, which has the turret welded on top.

The module in xray view is incorrectly modelled half way up the turret.

British stock hispanos are the wrost 20mm guns in the game with abyssmal accuracy, terrible default belts and often jamming after a single burst. No other plane is this gimped stock It's like they went into super detail mod for this one plane family and then did not do that for the rest of the game No other nation has 3 upgrades for a single gun to make it not suck shit anymore. No wonder people say dont climb winth the spit or how to sucks they stop playing after being bodied in their spits that all fly like a 2.0 plane no matter the BR at stock and then either stop grinding britain or go for tempests etc. A fully spaded spit has insane power to weight ration and climb rate you almost forget about the horribly mounted guns.
