Airfield Anisotropy

I was confused why I kept dying while belly landing in a few instances so I did some tests and found that the airfields are secretly made of microscopically serrated one-way spike barriers.

Interesting vid, never noticed this myself, probably cuz i always belly landed coming from the battlefield, i'll keep that in mind whenever i do come from the other side. The vSauce music tho

[@CatWerfer]

Yeah lol I thought the music would fit

[@KekusMagnus]

I noticed this myself and thought it was just spaghetti code. Turns out its intentional, probably because they're tired of bug reports from people too lazy to drop their landing gear and land correctly

[@CatWerfer]

yeah i thought i was going crazy so i wanted to test it out

I'm working on a bit of a project related to vehicle reviews so once im done with that i'll get around to it

Could u see if u land with ur gear and j out near the runway will ot kick you from battle cause it sometimes happens to be even when im right next to the runway and undamaged

[@CatWerfer]

I've had that happen to me a couple times before too, my best guess is that I took a tiny bit of damage that the game doesn't show on the damage indicator and so I can't j out without waiting for the full repair. Still idk if thats actually true but it happens rarely enough and I don't know what triggers it so I can't really test it efficiently

[@magicmissile7533]

@@CatWerfer I always use the xray before i j out, sometimes you receive a tiny bit of damage so small that the aircraft damaged icon doesn’t show on your hud, but you can still see a little hint of yellow on the xray. I do this especially whenever i fly close to enemy AAA or when i received glancing shots from enemies

@@magicmissile7533 when you J out if it says kill will be given to... the you will be counted as killed if you J out but if it just says leaving your aircraft you will be fine

[@magicmissile7533]

@@misterbengan Oh ok, i never even noticed that cuz i'm used to just ejecting via the pause menu, now i'm gonna actually start using j, thanks for the tip

Why tho can people not bother to land properly lol How does this convention with a mod go? Something like this? "so yeah I landed my plane going a 1000 km/h and I exploded I think this is weird..."

[@CatWerfer]

This comment gave me a stroke lmao. If you're asking why this feature exists, then I have no idea and it wasn't my idea. But as far as i can tell, it looks like it's there intentionally. I'm just showcasing what I found and sharing it. (Also it's not like war thunder is realistic anyways with pilots pulling 13Gs and still being alive)

[@benjaminvleugels5609]

@CatWerfer yes that's true it's not realistic. Lmao I'm honestly getting a stroke from my own comment as well. I have the bad habit of posting stuff without reading it again... It was a really interesting video btw. I always have a harder time landing from the other side of the airfield and now I know why that is.

[@CatWerfer]

@@benjaminvleugels5609 I do appreciate war thunder for being a nice middle ground between being completely arcadey and a full on simulator, at least in the flight model department. I definitely don't agree with all the choices they made especially with balancing but I guess they put this in just so that you spend less time landing/taking off and more time doing the more interesting fighting

[@CatWerfer]

Hey at least for once its a weird change that makes it a bit easier to land in one way
