I hope you could give **any** fast vehicles for sim a try, like r3, radkampfwagen, fox, anything of your choice. Its extremely fun to play them aggressively

If you use Laser-Rangefinder the gun will adjust so you don't have paralax. Also use radiocall T-4-1 to show your teammates your location :) If you shoot someone, and you don't get the little damage/hit-cam in the top right corner it was a teammate.
What's even funnier about this video being in the 103 is that it's the only tank model in the game that is capable of being fully driven and combat able with only one crew member, adding an extra tier to the "simulator battles" experience.
yeah, the DO-217 heavy fighters/interceptors are trash in air RB, but units in Sim. can soak up punishment (barring engine hits, but i've limped back on one engine and the other one with no oil before), and dish it out with their shotgun of a nose.

That first clip shows one of the major issues with sim, the refusal to split nations in sim by Axis/Allies or NATO/Warsaw PACT. BDR vehicles should be on NATO, whilst GDR vehicles fight on PACT.
Sim content is extremely fun and predetermined lineups makes matches really interesting especially in mid tiers, also the rewards are way higher compared to realistic aaaand when you get small games (like 6-7 players each team) it turns into a chill and also scary experience and makes games more fun IMO since there isnt a constant shitshow going on (made the comment before watching the vid, 2:19 is what im talking about lol) (again i just saw 7:04 HAHAHA the video is literally a proof to my words, not to mention that game was very silent and scary) so more sim vids thanks
Mainly because absolutely no ground players can fly plane in Simulator control and only a handful of air players can. Also there is like some kind of calibration to maintain aircraft stability before you play any game. So yeah, no point bringing a plane if you will just spin that thing around 10 second in the air.
If you don't know how to fly in SB then you are a handicap to your team. Airplanes dominate ground battles, I often have more kills in an airplane in SB than the rest of my team in tanks together.
I just love your content, especially when you put voiceovers like Homer, Samir, and Clarkson. Always leaves me chuckling. This being the best example 00:45
It’s really helpful to have your team report in every minute or so. So you know who is around you. For example if you use „On me“ and everyone near you uses that as well, you get a good idea whether there is an enemy or friendly near you.
I love your tunes I usually end up downloading a few each video cause they are such groovy focus tunes makes me feel like I’ve got a low rider with purple under glow
I remember my first ground simulator battle, but it was a long time ago... The lineup concerns the first era 1.0-1.7BR(?) from Japan. Poland is the map where I started the battle and chose an anti-air tank with AP rounds, I killed 5 enemies and captured one base, but at the end of the battle I killed my teammate and wrote to him in the chat: "Sorry brother, this is my first battle, I thought "that you are the enemy" and all team members were surprised that I managed to save the battle, even though it was my first game in this mode. for any mistakes I really sorry, because english isn't my first language
6:07 from what I’ve experienced, other engines are a tiny bit louder than others, but EVERY single tank can still be hears from exactly the same distance away, and I belive it’s 200m. Further than that, they make 0 noise for others
Sim can eaaily be alot of fun, I really enjoy the cupola view. Makes the game feel more tense when you cant spot people round corners with the 3rd person cam. Kinda wish there was a GRB mode with that so I dont end up accidently killing teamates in captured vehicles. (Or someone using one of the 60 sherman variants that look super identical) Plus with CAS/aircraft being harder to use I feel I get bombed less often so thats always a win.
naval sim should have you literally acting as a commander of your vessel, with a fully functioning body and free movement about the vessel, telling your bridge crew what to do.
In realistic/arcade, you can choose an option to aim from realistic sights. I've always used this, despite it putting me at a disadvantage, because of muh immersion and because of the extra challenge of factoring in offset.
Hey dollar I love opening TH-cam and seeing that you made a new video, that’s make my day. I’ve been following you for a long time, di I remember bad or you did some times some Torkov videos? If yes I would love to see more❤
Funny thing, i was playing my favorite Churchill VII in SimB and Italian M18 and Sherman where standing on my side trynna trick me. I played along until i "accidentally" shoot HE at the m18 but the Sherman still got me. Good match ngl had our laugh and giggles.
nice vid xD ngl sim battle is really fun and I havent encountered a hoard of cas + slower and more enjoyable battles because team mates actually try to play well
Ground sim is criminally under rated. Set BR ranges, more conservative gameplay, less CAS, better rewards. Only problem are people playing imposter and copy paste tanks
but having imposter tanks is literally a strategy they used irl, and i wished when i played RB that when i used a captured tank the enemy wouldnt instantly know i was their enemy

There's plentiful more examples of captured vehicles being used by other armies where they were clearly marked to be part of that army, like the German T-34's and Shermans so I think captured or copy paste vehicles should be either clearly marked by default or just not have the ability to make use of the opponents roundels and insignia with exception to vehicles such as the M10 Ersatz.

Hello DOllar, I would always like to watch your videos immediately after you upload them, but that's not possible because I'm at school at the time. So at least I have something to look forward to when I get back home.😁
Sim is really fun, but the most frustrating thing about it is when you get those small, cramped maps instead of those amazing bigger versions of the standard RB maps.
Only gripe I have with sim is that for ground you should be able to see your friendly team in the map, not seeing them implies that no one is using their radio to even communicate their position with each other, which was a bug reason why radios where installed in tanks in the first place. Hell gaijin could code a radio button that shows your location for your teammate on the map
That's the use of radio, everybody has ability to T-4-1 to broadcast their position, also click on map to mark enemy. No need for any additional automatic markers
I forgot to mention that if you rangefind the other tank, it will show you if it's friendly or an enemy.

Little trick : if there is no killcam or shoot cam when you are shooting at a tank, it means that it's not an enemy. And also it's very hard to play in sim battle when half of the team plays with captured tank from enemies countries
its not hard, you can range find to see if its an enemy and check the score board to see what the friendly tanks are.

If you shoot someone, and you don't get the little damage/hit-cam in the top right corner it was a teammate.
Btw if you rangefind in sim, it will also do the IFF for you
The paralax is always there doesn't matter if you rangefind or not, it's just that the further the enemy is the less paralax you have
also had no hitcam on enemies before
only in the vertical axis. for short distances the horizontal paralax is insane in some tanks. i use a pack of sim sights in every tank cause of this.
Dollar is the most underrated youtuber ever, we love you man!
His edition is the best!

Definitely gonna try ground sim after watching this video. Haven’t played a single sim battle although having over 2000 hours in ground realistic.
if you use the range finder on a target and don't shoot, a second bar loads that tells you if there are allies nearby, very useful from a distance
I'm definitely gonna have to bring out the wedge boi for some sim once skool is over, if it's still available by then. You make it look so easy!

The pain in ground sim is the large amount of shared vehicles
Especially when you play mid/low tier with the incredible amount of Sherman's
Sim is really fun, but the most frustrating thing about it is when you get those small, cramped maps instead of those amazing bigger versions of the standard RB maps.
Ah yes that CAS pov alone made me jump back into sim battles
sims is by far the best game mode in the game by far. especially if you can either recognize what is either hostile or friendly.
Played Sim once when i was very new to the game and ended up killing 3 teammates either very long range or because they used Copy-Past tanks^^
😂 I guess when you use copy pasta tanks you have to accept that you'll get killed by a teammate
@@DOLLARplays Well it was around BR 4.0 and every second tank there is a Sherman or T-34^^
Imagine naval simulator battles; it would basically be Dogger Bank every battle but the RP/SL gains would be immense
that's it, that's what i needed, booting warthunder and going to sim rn
pro tip for simulator:
if you dont know if the tank is teammate or not, fire mg at its tracks.
if it says "hit" its an enemy
if it doesnt its team
Only gripe I have with sim is that for ground you should be able to see your friendly team in the map, not seeing them implies that no one is using their radio to even communicate their position with each other, which was a bug reason why radios where installed in tanks in the first place.

That's why everyone spams the follow me command in sim.
That's the use of radio, everybody has ability to T-4-1 to broadcast their position, also click on map to mark enemy. No need for any additional automatic markers
