My last moments ...again.

Postby Splitpin » Sat Jul 01, 2023 4:37 pm

Ahhhh, the perils of being a screen dog in War Thunder. Just trying to join a "battle" can take ages, and life expectancy can vary from seconds to several minutes, so you have to fly like crazy.
All the time visualizing the shots, checking the light( WT cameras seem to favor the starboard ), and trying to avoid naff-looking weather or scenery.
I do have a few favorite locations, ideally where all vehicles are allowed, but where only tanks are doing their thing is good...all in all bloody hard work.
This shot is typical of the WT environment, I was just buzzing around in that A-6 when I was whacked by some knob in an F-4 . I had no idea it was there until I ran the playback.

Anyway, my last few seconds.....

That would be an F-4E with a gun for fun, otherwise you would've stood a chance with missile warnings.
You should get whacked by knobs some more, Marty, makes for good screen art.

Charmingly put, and very true.

It's an amazing time when we can capture the fleeting moment of our own demise. Keep it up, Marty!

Charl, a gun it was, no warning...a four-second squeeze, and he had the sky too himself...bugger.
