Overpressure Is A Great Mechanic

When seeing the South African G6 Rhino self-propelled gun on the dev stream, I had two thoughts. First I thought it looked like a vehicle straight out of Command and Conquer. Funnily enough, there is a C&C vehicle based on it. Second, I thought it would be a lot of fun to play. I think I was wrong on that last part. With how inconsistent the overpressure mechanic is in War Thunder, I did not have a great experience. Even light vehicles survived direct hits from the 155mm cannon. I would Gaijin would do a significant overpressure rework, but that can be said for a lot of things in War Thunder.

Yea, I did figure out that the proxy round does fuze against tanks after a certain distance, the inconsistency I was talking about was in reference to shooting light vehicles at point blank.

You are not supposed to use that VT against aircraft because it fuses circa at 3m from the ground (irl they use the VT to make the shell airburst and spray the area with shrapnel) or any other surface, so that's why it fuses on tanks

Well I firmly believe that aircraft should be able to spawn at the start of games without anything mounted to counter helicopters. I reckon if they did that helicopters would regret trying to go for the early game kills or at least make it like planes and eliminate start game spawn for helicopters. It’s really stupid that they can spawn with missiles at the start of games when tanks games only last 3 minutes at top tier already, and a single helicopter can make it last less.

Funny story - the main gun on the G6 is a modified variant of the GC-45 howitzer, which was designed and produced for apartheid South Africa by a Canadian man named Gerald Bull. After the mild success of this venture Bull would then work with Saddam Hussein's Iraq on a 39 inch gun known as Big Babylon, which if constructed would be able to either launch satellites into orbit or lob rocket-assisted artillery shells onto a maximum range of 8000 kilometers. In the end, the gun was never finished as Bull was assasinated, most likely by Mossad agents, in 1990.

@obesechissgaming8850 2 жыл бұрын

Despite not properly, it, for some reason, does fuse on ground targets. My guess is the game calculates the closest point to target along the trajectory of the shell or something crazy like that. This though, can be abused to INSANE levels in AB (and if your aim is good then also in RB). If your enemy is hidden behind a ridge and you lob the shell above a hatch or a cupola, itll shrapnel straight into the tank. That is when the tank is properly armored (Tiger I/II, Panther, Sherman/Jumbo, IS-*), if its either an open top or "armored" like a PT-76, itll get blown up basically every time the prox fuse activates around it. If you see someone capping a point early, just aim a distance shot at it and let the poor hellcat player explain to you how big of a "hacker cunt" you are for the rest of the battle. Type 75 SPH is probably best for this garbage because lowest br but all of them work. Would say pls fix gaijin but its too much fun for that lol.

Also, I know this thing has a much faster reload, but the FV-4005 exists at a lower BR and besides lacking the proxy fuse the ammo just feels so infinitely more reliable than this did for me.

Other than helicopter models needing a complete overhaul to fix, a quick solution (which also applies to planes) is to immediately kick the player out once the game classifies them as 'dead'. If you're in a tank and your gunner is the only crew member left alive, you're not allowed to keep firing because the game rules say you've been killed. Same logic should apply to helicopters and planes. Would literally take a few days to implement,

Oddly enough, as a former Field Artillery crewmember, most of our HE rounds were PD fused. When they weren't PD fused, we used a mechanical timed fuse. I cant speak for any shell types, only the US 155mm. We had 4 or 5 types of fuzes, but they all fell into one of two categories: proximity/ point detonating, and Mechanical, Time, Super Quick or MTSQ. With PD rounds, we had the option of point detonating or proximity detonation. Just a matter of flipping a switch. Almost always, we ran proximity as this would cause the round to detonate above ground, greatly increasing the kill range against soft and unarmored target. We only ran PD if we were directly engaging a target or if the FDC directed PD fusing.

They did rebuff high explosive rounds I think it was about a year and a half back. It was the same reason they reversed it the first time. Back in 2014 I knocked out 2 sidescrapping tanks with a KV-2 and that was just with the splash of the shell no direct hit. Your correct a HE round especially a 152+mm shell should rip apart a light tank by touching it.

Go to the garage and preview effects of HE vs HEVT against a few vehicles. The HEVT does not do nearly as much against most ground vehicles.

From what I have heard, Artillery HEVT rounds have a smaller fuze detonation distance than rounds designed for AA use, which is probably why using things like the G6 and 2S3M doesn’t get results as consistent as a proper AA shells like 57 and 76mm VT shells, despite the fact that 152 and 155mm shells have 5-6 kg of TNT equivalent.

Nod originally used the M-110 SPG in Tiberian Dawn. They used the Rhino for Renegade because it was easier to model. Unlike the actual vehicle it had full 360 degree traverse.

This has the same vibes as shooting at an M-51 with a Tiger/Panther and the shell bouncing, despite the shot being aimed perfectly.

I’ve played this and whenever I do it’s consistent and I seem to do rlly well especially on long range maps? For me it doesn’t even suffer in urban if u just find a busy corner and lock it down

When I played this vehicle, the HE rounds were consistent 95% of the time. The prox rounds are the problem.

You should try overpressure either on a custom map like the tank polygon V3 or in arcade, it's a really weird mechanic and behaves differently on different tanks.

The Helicopter just happily keeping to get kills remind me of the match earlier where I ripped apart a Bf-110 and he still aimed Half a plane properly enough to hit my Russian Milktruck with a single bullet blowing up my Ammo.

I thoroughly enjoy the G6, I've had it survive a stupid amount of hits multiple times. That being said it's mind boggling going from (back-to-back mind you) one tapping a Maus with a frontal quick shot, to only tracking a T-34-57 that gets shot in the side of the turret.
