English RP-3 Rockets To Be Nerfed Due To Tank Players Demands......
So apparently, in 1.71, RP-3 rockets are getting nerfed due to demands from tank players. The RP-3 is of course the only rocket we English get, except for one or two premiums which can use HVAR etc.

Now, this is disgusting because it's ALREADY hard to actually hit stuff with them in air battles. They're hard enough to use as it is; plus you have to put up with the added weight etc.

Secondly, tank players are the tiny minority. And yet they have managed to get Brit planes rockets nerfed, which will render them not worth bothering with.

(NOTE: I say 'English' as the entity known as Britain no longer really applies. We're very separate nations now. Plus, it's us English that designed and built literally everything.)

Because it has been horribly overperforming and sometimes ignores damn armour and still kills anyway.

You're wording this like the RP-3 is your only rocket to pick. You forgot about bombs and AP rockets.

Why would you ever use rockets for anti air unless it's on a fuze with a giant target?

Does it hamper how your rockets travel? You're blaming that it's hard to use because your plane is heavier... ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Are you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ us?
If tankers were the minority of this game then why the ♥♥♥♥ do you think all rockets are going to be rebalanced to how they work? You're here screaming that "Oh ♥♥♥♥ vets are destroying this game pls nerf" and of course everyone tells you to simply ♥♥♥♥ off.
Don't worry, not like it's going to ♥♥♥♥ you pilots over. You're simply going to miss anyway.

Another quality post from you. Bravo chap.

Tank players are a tiny minority, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lol

You've got the proof to backup that claim?

Also, HVARs are getting nerfed HARDER than RP-3s in the first place hahahahaha

Rp-3 rockets ARE the only rockets we Brits get, you damn moron. Except for two premiums and some really high tier planes.

To hit ground units with RP-3's, you have to slow down and really allow for drop. Plus the rockets themselves are very slow.

And now they're getting totally nerfed due to the demands of tank players.
White Prime Sep 8, 2017 @ 11:52pm 
And that's if you even get a chance to use them on ground units.

They're getting "nerfed" by applying realistic damage values. Moronic thinking from you yet again, besides, why should it matter to you? You mainly play bombers anyway

9/10 brit players will choose whatever planes gets the most rp3 rockets, and unfortunately most use the firelfy which carries 16!!!!! Rp3 are designed to take out ships, so why in the world is it balance to have 16 of them? The p47 spam is already bad enough with their HVARS being powerful enough with half decent aim for a 1 hit kill. This is why the RB tank community as a whole has reached the breaking point.

Hold on there, the tank community is a minority here

16 is too many maybe yeah. That's only one plane, though. But this is the thing, you RB tank players in the main forums have demanded this, yet it doesn't just affect you. It affects us who play Arcade Air only too.

Also, funny how it's only Brit rockets getting nerfed.

And by the way, it takes at least 8 RP-3 rockets to sink a ship. And that's if you hit the right place.

Can it with insulting people. You do this on every thread you make.
If you want opposing proof to this claim, look here: https://wiki.warthunder.com/index.php?title=Rockets
British have AP rockets, too. They're tricky to use, but they're there and options on many british aircraft capable of carrying rockets.

Rockets aren't getting nerfed. Their explosive force is just being corrected to a more realisitc explosion. Rockets were never able to kill tanks (IRL) from impacting the ground 10+ meters away. Exception maybe being a tiny tim- maybe.
Rockets are also getting an increase to accuracy, and have roughly the same explosive force as a 152mm HE or HEAT shell, meaning one single hit to the top of a tank is usually going to kill it.
Info here: https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/377799-update-171-preliminary-update-notes/

The rocket speed and trajectory of RP-3s aren't being changed, just accuracy coming off the wing rails and explosive force, so you shouldn't notice any changes in drop or speed. I didn't on the dev server.

minorities need to be respected too!, white prime is deeply offensive and should check his plane priviledge!

if they do or do not nerf the US as well then it's gaijins problem, i doubt the rockets will affect taking out pillboxes and light AAA because you can kill those with 20mm.

Hahahaha is this a joke? Try and take a 5.0-6.0 german tank and not get absolutelly ass raped by rockets,ESPECIALLY RP-3s. Do you not know how easy it is to just rush cap with british gokarts and take a plane like the Firefly FR or Wyvern?? Dude,you're missing out.
