@@alexanderjones7769 that's like at max 20 pilots if it's a dive bomber for about 2000 ship crew and 30k tons of steel gone, and it was a common occurrence until proxy ammo is invented by US
@PiscesSoedroen yes and I would bet 10 planes is a very generous number considering the amount of fighters with lack of ordinance in the match that dove in at a 45 angle and died immediately and the lack of coordination. I would bet you could get that number pretty low with strict torpedo, dive or high level bombing and coordination.
Thats, why i changed to wt (and other reasons) but im in 3.7 battles after playing 3 days, i like the game really (but Pilot/crew snipe ann nn ooooyyyyiiinnngg)
First, you can control the Main guns, secondary guns and AA guns by pressing alt 1,2,3. Also in the settings you can set up controls to have guns target a certain plane. For example I have X + 1,2,3 to have my weapons attack certain targets.
Gearing would be the best Destroyer, three turrets holding six high Y axis main guns with prox ammo and a whole boat of AAA. Atlanta could also be a good AA ship, same high Y axis main guns except there is now eight turrets of them for a total of 16 guns with the same prox ammo. Key bind your guns so they can fire a single ranging shot so you don't waste your entire volley and now you have a auto cannon 127mm gun. Aircraft don't survive.
There was a famous group of Australian Ships during WW2 Know as the Scrap Iron Flotilla as the were obsolete WW1 ships retrofitted and used by the Australians around Malta and the Mediterranean even undertaking the perilous job of helping to resupply Tobruk during the siege. One of the ships HMAS Water Hen known as Chook (Aussie for chicken) to her crew It took an attack from 37 Stuka's to sink her. The scrap Iron Flotilla is a fascinating story and well worth the effort to look into
Using Fritz bombs is probably a good idea since you can guide them in and was actually used to sink ship in ww2, one-shot bombing a italian battleship. B/T-18’s would probably be a good choice too, got very quick dive speeds and can carry both bombs and torpedoes.
Since Gaijin didn't model AP bomb penetration, Fritz-X is extremely limited in damage potential as the HE filler is way lesser than other bombs of the same size Still better than not hitting the ships at all I suppose
@@yesno-cu3ey but because the bomb is guided, it could be used from higher altitudes so that the plane wouldn't be as easily shot down, if used with the He 177 Greif which can carry three off them it would have been quite devastating if they would hit their targets
I know not much people play ships, but if you check your naval controls, you can see "select weapon" key, you can use it for manual control AA end auxiliary guns, also some ships have tracking radar, proxy shell, minugun and missiles on it. For balanced, IA AA gins have more difficult take down 1 plane then 3 or 5, also is super hard for IA take down dive bomber during dive
6:05 Look ma, I'm on TV! This was definitely one heck of a fight. I couldn't even join the last round since gajin servers kept kicking me. Definitely looking forward to the next event!
The fact that the most brutal battles of WWII was in the pacific theater is insane thousnads of planes and 10s of thousands of crew members being detonated exploded in such a big scale is insane and terrifying to think noone who enlisted knew it would be that bad Edit: think the zero would be best plane hence its history of effective 1kda
Muffins contents really changes and his voice becomes more energetic and alive i remember those wotblitz video from 2020 and now the same i play warthunder on 2022 i check back his account and its now war thunder too.
This is what WT should have been! AI controled gunners at night might have given the boats an advantage...but the brave pilots gave their all! Just to think how scary it was in real life!!! Glad I didn't have to exerience it!!! Great job guys!!!
Derp vs autoloaders. Anything over 120mm is considered derp and anything that has a reload of less than 3-4 seconds. There are 5-10 tanks on both sides in the battle with 1.0-10.0 in the same battle. It be funny to see a sturmpanzer knock out a Top tier vehicle
i feel like you should have diferentiated the different kinds of blue water ships because the big ones have a ton more anti air. also in naval you can control 1 type of gun at a time and you have 3 its alt+1,2, or 3
You should do blue water vs ground but with teams first round everyone is in ships trying to win control of the sea then if one team loses they are forced to fight from the ground to repel in a small invasion force while the team that one still keeping some ships offshore for fire support for their invasion team if they repel the invasion they can chose to fight the ships offshore with planes or back to ships
anti air can be controlled by a player while the ai does main cannons this can be done through the multi function menu. you can also use this to contoll just the machine gun and not the turret on a tank
bombing moving ships at a high altitude is very difficult i didnt parcipate in the event but it took me several days to learn how to lead a ship to bomb it even with the 5000kg bomb
Next up, how about Helicopters Vs Coastal Boats? But also it would be so cool if yall started making war documentaries, but with players from WT. It'd be super cool to be able to See the story in action.
I wish when ppl played together in a squad when a squadmate died instead of going to the view battle screen or the hangar it would be cool if they could get put into the surviving person's tail gunner if they got enough points or kills. Just a thought.
I'm surprised there weren't any He-111 h6 or He-177 A-5's armed with fritz at this event unless you specifically banned climbing to 4,000m or greater? One of my favorite methods of getting rid of alaska, kronstadt, or bb's and light cruisers in general during enduring confrontation naval.
I would love to have seen my HMF Tiger would have faired, since it seems to me that it's built for anti-air work, though admittedly, it doesn't fit the WWII time period
I noticed a distinct lack of performance on some of the Naval players, sailing in a straight line? Not using Allied ships like the Atlanta or anything with 5” HE-VT? Yes, you can select your secondaries and use them to manually aim, or you can just tell the AI to focus on a specific enemy. I feel like more USN ships would have made this match a lot more difficult for the planes.
Imagine the players on their ships just yelling at their aa guns while: AIM BETTER, HE IS RIGHT THERE, SHOOT For basically all the even they where just spectating their crew
