WT - Soviet SKR-7 - Absolute Cinema

[@Flamuu]

WT is sometimes incredibly cinematic, like when I'm lobbing rockets over the island and clipping random trees at 3:50, the plane getting blapped at 12:02 and screaming over the ship, a plane having its payload detonate at 14:15 etc. Not sure why people complain about the visuals of the game, I've found them quite enjoyable actually.

KZbin compression isn't kind to the visuals of warthunder. The weapon effects lose a lot of wow effect when uploaded to youtube. The game with it's great water and vehicle physics and weapon effects is very pretty when you play it on your own pc.

[@steve_i400]

at 12:02, I think the Moffett's VT shell might have detonated that plane's bomb mid-air which saved you and blew the plane up, it can happen.

[@rudatkatzn9171]

For me at least, as someone who plays all of it, (All branches) its kinda sad that especially ground props look rather poor compared to the vehicles. In terms of atmosphere and looks of surroundings and stuff, I find WoT and WoWs much more enjoyable. I ran WT at highest graphics and didnt come close to what I can get in aforementioned games. And in WT, the sun can be a legit nightmarish disadvantage.

[@bewati1]

@@rudatkatzn9171 Do you play for looks or easy gameplay? The grass and ground/snow deformation is beatifull in warthunder and the towns also look really nice. The only downsides I see is the limited texture detail. I call the sun a tactical thing that adds to the game. Especially in RB air it adds a lot to the gameplay along with having clouds to hide in.

[@rudatkatzn9171]

@@bewati1 The sun is a major disadvantage in Ground battles because when it comes relevant, its ALWAYS onesided, blinding one side hard. I just want the surroundings look good. But the buildings look as if Gaijin took the 2D sprites from Air Battles and made them 3D

Yeah those WT videos are way more enjoyable to watch as Flamu seems to actually enjoy playing the game unlike 90% of it's WoWs content

[@everygiraffe2700]

Crazy how stepping away from that cancer ridden unbalanced mess can make someone enjoy games again, Gaijin has it's own issues no doubt but I rarely find myself blaming them for a shitty game state

[@Just_A_Random_Desk]

flamu single-handedly making more people play wt naval

[@lelmone6856]

11:39 The reason that 1936A didn't die when your torps hit him is because SETs have a godawful warhead since they're ASW torpedoes

[@Dorkrust]

Not being yeeted isn't really different than sinking the way it did though, it's the same outcome. He did in fact kill it with the torps, just took a bit longer to register that it was in fact dead.

[@Napalmratte]

The RBU 6000 follows a simple rule regarding the lead and combat distance: Can you hit it with a hand grenade from the bridge? Yes! Then FIRE Edit: at around 10: 40 your rockets overshoot the german destroyer. That is because the trajectory of the missiles is automatically calculated based on the lock on of your guns. while you will not really notice the difference at this distance for the high muzzle velocity 3 inch autoguns vertically (but horizontally) for those slow, high arcing rockets it makes all the difference Also your torps have a pityful TNT charge. 'normal' DD torps would have done the job. :)

[@ousou78]

Your SKR7 stopped shooting at one point because you emptyed all your amo in the ready rack. The SKR7 used to be absolutly broken so they nerfed it. Basically, as long as you didn't overheat your guns or empty all your amo, you could go full auto for ever

[@sebastiannawara5943]

SKR-7 used to absolutely CLAP anyone and anything. After HE rework and reloading nerf it's a shadow of itself, once upon a time you could 1v1 a Moffet no sweat

[@ousou78]

Yeah back in the days SKR7 was pure cancer but it got trippled nerfed (HE nerf in crew damage and floading potential, RBU not as deadly as before and finally the introduction of ready rack mechanic. Now played well it is still good but not as good as before.

[@RowansWTNavalGuides]

As someone who already enjoys watching your WoWS video's, it's been really fun to watch these WT naval video's too! Always nice to hear and see what WT naval is like for a WoWS player.

[@MJPIA]

Those torps are anti submarine use, they have almost no filler in them, they tickle more than anything

[@hakon5473]

Night time battleship fights are absolute cinema.

[@Momomaster25]

at 15:00 I believe that un-repairable breech was from a naval mine the airplane (12:02) that got really really close dropped. He missed a direct hit, but the mine stayed in the water and you couldn't see it.

[@Chris-iv8sb]

but then only his bow compartment flooded and he was able to fight on? Like that mechanic a lot more than just being a dot or kill.

[@bb-152ussmeta9]

​@@Chris-iv8sbbecause the ships in game have individual compartments modeled, and when one is flooded the game simulates that compartment gets sealed off to ensure water wont rush into the rest of the ship. Gaijin have even added the mechanic that, over time, the ships crew will conduct partial counter flooding on the opposite end of the ship to balance the list out. Its actually pretty interesting to see over time, though the heat of battle can cover it up.

[@admiral_franz_von_hipper5436]

The SKR is just nasty. The Gaijin-bot SKRs will snipe your plane from far away.

[@SwedishFarmer94]

Anyone else enjoy these WT vids much more than the WoWs ones? Keep it up Flamu! Think you will do more Bluewater Fleet? Id love yo see some Alaska and US Battleship gameplay!

[@Dhdja2741]

I wish these 76 mm autocannons had APHE shells, sadly googling info on them resulted in finding out they never had those because they were never supposed to be used against other ships, those are basically AA only guns. RBU-6000 can clap cheeks in close quarters tho

[@bewati1]

All big high explosives are great in close quarters in war thunder. I often use dept charges against destoyers in my German tp boats if I can get close enough. Or shooting at naval mines as traps around corners.

[@Dhdja2741]

Anyway Braviy (1967) vid when? She has 380 mm guided anti air missiles

[@DarkSpirit4444]

14:16 since it was a Lancaster, there is a high chance that he had a 12000 pound bomb on him

[@shakenbakejake25]

As much as I enjoy WoWs (this is a lie) I do love that WT has every armament on the ship modeled and usable for the most part.

[@berbold]

WT naval is impressive now. Sky, land and sea are a bit noisy visually. The water needs a bit more contrast, maybe? It's very different from the incredibly slow, chaotic and weird attrition-based game of first release.

[@Ima9ineBreak3r]

I enjoy watching these games so much more than WoWs, and I don't even play it. Maybe that is why I enjoy it...

[@dariog9525]

More WT naval please!

[@lordhickory3322]

0:10 Yeah, War Thunder does have quite decent graphics for basically being a thirteen yéar old game (it has of course gotten some upgrades since then, but the core game isn't a "new" one different from the 2012 release). I also don't get why people would be complaining about Naval's graphics - that's the least of that gamemodes problems... I think we all agree that this game has some major issues in the grind & balancing department, but of course that's nothing special for a "F2P" game... (I'm not saying it's that much better with WOWS). Still, I think if one wants to play a warship game, WOWS does that better than WT naval.

[@bewati1]

WOWS is only a great naval warship game if your idea of a warship is a RC car on a sheet of ice. No proper inertia, scale or boat physics going on. As much as I hate the balance and grind in WT, you do feel you control a proper boat with all its weapons and damage happening to it. There is nothing like a close range destroyer battle with all anti air guns blazing as secundairies while trying to get your guns depressed as your ships heels over from flooding. Or doing airstrikers against a sea of flak bursts and tracer fire while your controll a dive bomber.

[@Kerman_von_Braun]

Your vids inspired me to give WT naval another go and its actually growing on me. Tho the dmg model is so unintuitive, very hard to understand wtf youre supposed to be aiming for

[@wiwekazaqi]

WT naval healthpoint use the crew number, and depend on your ammo and target position also change where to shoot for example if a broadside ship and you have good penetration HE, try to aim just hull below the gun with ammo storage and around engine room, if you cant penetrate the hull just damaging the superstructure also reducing the crew, APHE/SAP work too but we might overpen it instead of explode inside the hull, depend on the caliber but keep in mind a damaged area might out of crew for a moment until it repaired / replaced by other crew so repeated damage on same area wont reduce the crew number oh and every gun matter in wt naval, dont forget to switch to your secondary / auxilary if your main gun were damaged and waiting repair (if they still available as well) and personal tips, if you play coastal switching from the low rate of fire 45-100mm cannon to sec/aux 20-40mm actually work better

[@bewati1]

It highly depends on what your are shooting at. For small speedboats you often aim for the crew compartments or disabling dangerous guns (or exposed high explosives on deck like torpedos/mines). For larger ships aim for the magazines for the larger guns if you can get past the armor protecting it. If you can't, shoot for crew spaces and exposed aa guns to kill crew or try to flood unprotected hull parts. The x ray mode and armor view mode are great tools to check for weak spots. Also use the xray view when your shells hit to see how effective your fire is. You can see if your schrapnell goes into the hull or magazine or not. You can also shoot funnels or fuel stores to create fires for damage and crew kills. Or engines to create easy torpedo targets.

flamu what do you think is in a better state at the moment war thunder naval or world of warships? because i personally feel like war thunder naval is very realistic and world of warships is alot more arcade which to me can be worse

[@thepiratemongoose8965]

If you have an unrecoverable breach, could you beach yourself and just become a shore gun emplacement?

[@mahieuwim]

The game will count you down and kick you out of your ship when you beach and can't get loose. Same as going out of the map in ground battles. At least, that's how it used to be; haven't played naval in a long time.

[@Chris-iv8sb]

Back when I tried naval everyone called the SKR-7 a broken tumor of a ship and a decrewing nightmare, wonder how it is or feels to play against nowadays xD

[@TallulahSoie]

I think people complain about WT because their head canon is programmed after 10 years of WOWS. Similar to how people can't accept new actors in established roles. Bond, Superman, etc.

[@das3610]

nah a lot of the complaints about WT naval are completely valid, powercreep at higher tiers is somehow worse than WOWs
