Reasons for losing an online dogfight

[ImPeRaToR]

[Finkeren]

It's true. Though there should also be a pie slice for "Wounded by AA before the fight"

[SYN_Vander]

Totally wrong of course. 75% percent should be "plane is overmodelled", 24,5% "low fuel/field mods/premium ammo" and 0,5% "other"  

[SOLIDKREATE]

OMG War Thunder is spilling into here. Quick kill it with fire!!!!

My primary reference were ROF and Il2, don't remember anyone complaining about fuel in WT actually.

[Sven]

Having no track IR is no excuse for being a poor pilot. Been flying flight sims for 10 years and never touched a head tracking device.  But then again I'm not a dogfighter, I kill my opponents 'Hartmann' style.

I think, we should get a good 15% of "cheating" in the mix too.

[=IRFC=Tunes]

Nahh, only Flying Circus regulars accuse people of cheating. (In RoF.)

[ThudThunder]

I think at least 10% should be allocated for avoidable collisions (completely the other guys fault, of course.)

[gavagai]

Cowardly-gay-Spad should be in there somewhere.

[6S.Manu]

Lack of skill or the other on is better: at least in RoF, since there are no Oleg' Spitfires here

You forgot to add that if the developer is Gaijin and the plane is Russian on any tier you will die. I got one shotted by a Chaika in my P-47D-25-NA.

[TheNotoriousFNG]

Whoa...where's the "your plane is under modeled" figure? We all know some planes just don't match up to their performance figures/pilot anecdotes/whatever yet some of us gluttons for punishments still fly 'em.

[BraveSirRobin]

I was out of ammo.

You rammed me.

[ST_ami7b5]

Nice one, Imp.

You mean something like this?

[SYN_Ricky]

Reasons why I lose a dogfight ?

 

Case 1: I'm in the better plane.

 

Reason: I'm in the cockpit.

 

Case 2: I'm in the worse plane.

 

Reason: I'm in the cockpit.

[BraveSirRobin]

The damage model for my plane is bugged.

[leitmotiv]

I never lose DF, don't know what you all talking about

[79_vRAF_Friendly_flyer]

Family-related factors leading to loss:

Dog/cat/hamster/baby has crawled underneath compute desk, upsetting controller cables - 0,4%

Toddler spills milk on keyboard - 0,3%

The missus is in heat for once - 0,2%

A better question here would be: How do 4 ShKAS machine guns, adjusted for convergence, firing @ 1800 RPM, hit something the size of an airplane with only one round?

 

The answer is: Gaijin is bad @ realism. And a few other things

[Matt]

He flew too high.

[HippyDruid]

1) Too much alcohol

 

2) Not enough alcohol
