Who Owns The Sky Owns The Ground || Stryker & F-16 Viper (War Thunder)

[@Hunter_i86]

I made a report a while ago about the ugly black lines visual anomalies when using TV weapons, I hope they fix it soon. community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/JHY4NY840fRq

[@nothisismine]

I think I just got my first ad on anyone of your videos…congrats

[@jordancourse5102]

Hopefully they fix so that the tv guided munitions dont switch targets mid flight. If a live tank is sitting next to a dead tank or even in the vicinity of a dead tank it'll look the dead tank. Shit is so annoying lol.

[@derritter3873]

Maybe your Stryker surviving that many shots will finally teach some players to always bring some heat.

[@Hunter_i86]

APFSDS today is weird, no spalling at all .. I think they nerfed it so one shot kill get reduced.

[@derritter3873]

@@Hunter_i86 they nerfed apfsds spalling? Guess they had to even out a good change with a bad one. Br decompression for less spall.

[@beardaddy4793]

another retarded adept with switching rounds in counter-strike gameplay on modern vehiles

[@Wotplaya4]

It's probably not a nerf, rather a bug. Similar to the bug where rounds simply can not richochet anymore due to angle, well they still try to penetrate steeply angled armor up to 88-89 degrees or so before you get a visual ricochet. Like there is not even reduced spall, rather no spall at all on side armor (non composite) especially. HEATFS might occasionally still spall, so somehow it might be the better ammo type now. At least T-72/80 front armor still spalls from, so right now NATO got quite the advantage when it comes to that, because their hulls spall in less regions now or not at all.

[@astafzciba]

I always use HE for it. the russian HE round can oneshot leopards

[@jordancourse5102]

Who else slams the keyboard when the GBU-8 hits a ground target directly but only get "hit"??? Or the maverick hits the top of a tank and all the top mounted MG obsorbs the overpressure? and get "critical hit" ? LMAO.

[@Hunter_i86]

That's why use one second fuse bomb, the bomb will bounce on the tank and explode on the ground. Gaijin ruined bombs pen value and no one asked for it.

[@jordancourse5102]

@@Hunter_i86 Thanks man. Also what’s the max range you can employ GBU-8’s? I’m so used to using walleyes they glide so wel but GBU8’s don’t glide like walleyes. I usually climb to 6-7000m then go in and drop when the target is maybe 7KM away. Sometimes they’ll track and hit then sometimes it’ll tumble out of track or switch targets to a dead tank.

[@Hunter_i86]

@@jordancourse5102 Any drop more than 3km distance is a gamble because you are locking the ground .. so if the target stayed static it will hit, I don't know what is the maximum range of these bombs, I just estimate the drop like an unguided bomb .. the best drop is dive at -70 degrees and drop them at a 3km target to ensure it will track.

[@nickkozak4763]

@@Hunter_i86 yeah if only that was the case with the russian SU-25 rockets

[@Jonathan-yu9ui]

@Hunter I can get a good track with the gbu 8s at round 4.5 to 5km on a moving target

[@TurnyPlays]

You hit that ZTZ so hard he was sent to the shadow realm 😂

[@Hunter_i86]

Indeed! :D Thanks for the kind visit Turny

[@gammafox5431]

I often wish there was a game other than WT that had similar missile mechanics and depth, while staying a more casual sim-lite. Like what GHPC is, but for planes.

[@Hunter_i86]

I wish there is another game similar to WT not to play it, but to enforce Gaijin to work harder on polishing their game and make it better because of competition.

[@sartreparker6837]

I like the big fireworks at 3:11

[@sebastiansilva6058]

I always carry a 2000lb LDGP bomb instead of another GBU-8 since sometimes you have one guy left capturing an objective hiding on smoke

[@CelaLare]

Gaijin letting us remove the skirts for the Stryker is definitely one of the best decisions they've made and would you be willing to make a video on how the GBU's effective range?

[@jonathanjuwainat5535]

It’s not good enough, how come you can’t take off the composite slabs but keep the good slat armor? And why is it at 10.0? It should be 9.3 at the max.

[@alaskanbas6507]

Depending on speed an altitude, you can get very great range out of the GBU-8s. 25km is easy from an A-7D flying 800km/h at 9km altitude, also still possible flying at 900km/h and 6km

[@alexandermihaylov3555]

[@DevilDolphin734]

Anyone else think the F-117A would be great for ground RB? Radar won't lock unless the bomb bay doors are open and you only get 2 GBU-10s

[@Hunter_i86]

I would love to see it

[@evo3s75]

it's not that the radar wouldn't lock unless the doors are opened, but that the radar wouldn't lock until it's close enough to be seen by the radar. And for that you have IRST and OOT (which SPAA's also have irl) And the maps being so small would make stealth near useless since it only has an effect if it's further away from the radar source

[@DevilDolphin734]

I didn't play HSTVL, maybe one or two battles and before the reload and BR change .. I just don't like prototype vehicles, in WT and in real life as well haha. Maybe I should give it a go.

[@Grebogoborp]

@@Hunter_i86 its very fun if you like to pick people apart its not a particularly reliable oneshot but you can very easily pick people apart by hitting the breech or barrel of russian tanks you can also pen the normal drivers hatch and LFP but your spall can sometimes be a little annoying also why do you take two ground attackers and a heli just personally I find I never get enough points for a second plane are you taking two for different capabilities or something

thats the reason why i dont play ground realistic anymore, russian tanks are total unreal. best armor, decent ammo, era side skirt blessed by stalin.... russian tanks was fine in 2021, where you could one shot them at the side. now its very hard and luck.... but every nato tank is a one shot from side ..... and butter upper frontalplate kekek so dumb!

@@Bl4ckscyf3r They're just balancing Russian performance irl so it's fair.

[@CCM1199]

I am soo glad they are retiring/getting rid of the Stryker MGS as it was a terrible platform to work from. I dont know who in the right mind came up with the MGS idea but they need to be fired. The platform itself was unstable and couldnt fire over the side without risking the vehicle flipping. If the U.S. is giving vehicles to Ukraine to defend themselves, then there is your perfect opportunity. give those vehicles to Ukraine.
