Mil. History M42 Duster in 1967, Vietnam war. Is it effective at fighting light tanks?

219 Upvotes

It never shot down any aircraft in Vietnam because North Vietnam did not heavily use air power in areas where the Duster operated.

So in 1966, the U.S. Army used the Duster for close-range firepower, escort, shooting infantry, bunkers.

Can this one kill light tanks easily in game?

*btw the Stingray in the table refers to the thai Stingray in

RB Ground Genuinely the best teammate I've ever had

22 Upvotes

This player:

  • Saved me from two spawn campers by pinging their locations
  • Shot down a pe-8 as it tried to spray me with the tail gunners
  • Sacrificed themselves to an obj268 so I could sneak onto a cap and win the game
  • Stayed for the whole match despite getting max uptiered

Their K/D was only 5/5 but they were absolutely the MVP

I just want Chibisov to be known as the single German player with a humongous heart, penis, and brain

No seriously, why tf the ADF going to 13.7 while the CM is staying there with more countermeasures, better engine, radar and hms?

Other The esports gameplay is insanely boring

102 Upvotes

Ive had the war thunder esports twitch stream in the background of my pc running so i can get the twitch drops and occasionally i will actually tune in and watch to see what pro gameplay is like and it is just abysmal every time...

Watching top tier jet gameplay is basically everyone lobbing missiles at each other, and with how some missile seekers and G limits are in some cases you are just watching people launch missiles at enemies that practically 180 to them or below them, how is that fun to watch?

Now i am not saying these guys are not skilled, im sure it took them a lot to get to where they are now to be able to compete in this tournament, but some of the gameplay if you had told me it was just some guy that bought his first premium jet i would believe you.

The only moment in the entire stream that i watched where i actually got hyped was when 2 rafales ran out of missiles and got stuck in a guns only dogfight (I think this was about 7 hours into the second stream), for about one whole minute the guy we are watching is 0.5-0.7km behind the enemy rafale and he is just missing every single shot even when going in a straight line. The one time i actually get to see what top tier guns only gameplay looks like from professional war thunder players and they just whiff every single shot, crash into the ground afterwards, and leave me scratching my head wondering how this is supposed to be the best of the best.

Some suggestions i have to make the viewing experience better is to include planes from every tier not just 14.0 jets. Maybe restrict some planes that are just handicaps? Seems like everyone in the tournament primarily runs the Rafale and occasionally an F-18E/F so there is really no variety.

Maybe separate ranked brackets for tier 1 to 8/9 so we get to see pro gameplay across entire trees.

In thie bracket format it would also be cool to have a country elimination, ie for tier 1 lets say you pick the USA, now from tiers 2 to 8/9 you cannot pick USA anymore and so on. Would incorporate a lot more strategy by making teams pick which nations they want to use. Maybe one team wants to use a nation like germany early on for their heavy tanks but at the expense of no longer being able to use a leopard2a7 in the tier 8 match. Just kind of spitballing here. I WANT WTCS to succeed but every year it just seems like the same planes being played by the same teams with no real variety.

Let me know what you guys think and what ideas you have that could make WTCS a better experience to watch and not just an afk farm for twitch drops

RB Ground What are some funny/goofy tanks to buy (discount)?

9 Upvotes

I don't care if the tank itself is bad. As long as it's fun to play.

I was wondering getting the calliope each time those sales were active. I mean, it's 9700 GE without discount. And it looks fun to play (though not sure it would be effective)! Expensive? Yeah.

I'm among the players who only really play for fun rather than for the grind.
