@@ClankerWanker thanks for the offer! I'll get up to speed on youtube though. So many distractions here I have to step away from my computer a lot. I really need to put an auto-feeder on the pit in my basement.
im really close to grind f16 mlu at rb but i really dont wanna play rb anymore cause of you can't really dog fight with people cause of 16v16 bullshit and thats the only fun of f 16 mlu because of its heavenly flight performance but horibble misilles for its rank but the last time i play sim is when i grind usa with bombers so theres a long road ahhead of me i guess
do you have a recommended joystick set i should use for simulator? becuase i have the a320 hotas ones and they get all bugged with the input control stuff. thanks
I’m using the thrustmaster tflight hotas one, it’s kinda bad though, the yaw only lasted about a week before it was completely non functional. I just ordered a VKB gladiator with STECS, so I’ll make a review of that soon
@@BuzzGoober2329 let's say if you enjoy the FC3 modules, you will see a lot more.combat in war thunder, the high fidelity cockpit fidgeting is not there, but depending on the aircraft you get FC3 fidelity and in certain cases, such as nap of the earth radar mapping, warthunder is actually more realistic than dcs, because dcs models a flat earth. I fly the mig 21 bis in dcs and warthunder for example, one of the few modules, that I fly in dcs and warthunder that overlap. I found the aircraft flight model more advanced in dcs along with the actual procedural simulation aspects of it, the warthunder version flies similar but not as squirily, starts like an fc3 module, but models combat and damage equally well, in the case of damage models it may be better but the main issue with warthunder is mission variability. Enduring confrontation is the only mission type available to the sim players which can arguably get tedious and repetitive, I would say I enjoy it, dcs is definitely the superior sim but warthunder may surprise a lot of people. Having said that, the grind is really the main issue with warthunder.
I 100% agree LOL... I play a lot of IL-2 and what I enjoy about War Thunder is it is a Semi-Sim, Like i can jump in and play no flight manual needed, no inflight stuff I gotta do, but I don't feel like im playing a full blown arcade game either... Its just easier
After they kept ignoring our cries for fixing ARB, mainly the 16v16 issue or actually give us ARBEC I just said enough. Started SB a month ago, never looked back. Fk AIR RB aka AIR AB 2.0
i just wish there was a scaled down mode, or even round based duels. It would make actually dogfighting great again. im sick of taking one turn and eating missiles from 6 different people in both arcade and RB.
War thunder sim was a breeze of fresh air after gajin turning ARB into 5 min battle head-on simulator for me. Problably the biggest problem i had was with keeping track on enemy i was turnfighting. Sometimes i lose them mid fight and get killed. Do you have any tips for that apart from just playing more and getting experience? I'm flying mainly 9.7-10.7 bracket
Part of keeping up with the guy you're fighting is recognizing what maneuver you are engaged in. Rolling scissors, one turn, two turn, etc. If you know what maneuver you're in, you can kind of predict where he should be in relation to you if you lose him (as long as you stay in that move and the enemy hasn't pulled out of the maneuver or done something weird). If you have continued the maneuver for a couple of seconds and still can't find him then try to disengage until you can spot him again. Start by looking behind you and make a partial aileron turn one way and then turn back in the opposite direction. If you don't see him behind, then level out and check all around while flying straight for a second, then go through the partial aileron turn left and right again to check behind. If you still don't see him to your sides or above/ below or in front or directly behind then he is probably behind you flying in another direction because he probably lost you too. So in that case I would turn around and begin searching for him. It also helps to roll upside down and make sure he isn't under you as people like to hide there because it is the least checked area. Also finding a good control setup that lets you fly and look easily at the same time is helpful. What do you use to fly?
@@sammyh.748 Thanks for in-depth reply. Now I use mouse + keyboard and that does the job, but I am going to buy joystick and use it with mouse to look around and problably keyboard for all radar/other settings. Tbh sometimes on first loop doing 1-circle after the merge I lose track when enemy is lower than me because of ground. Like i look at the place he is and do not see him against ground. Sometimes he appears to me, but if not second loop is even worse because I do not even know where he is, did he follow or what. Probably using joystick to fly and mouse to constantly look at him would help.
That’s because the A32 needs to be trimmed. Turn off damping and trim your elevators until it doesn’t go up or down anymore. It’s very dependent on what speed you’re flying so the amount of trim you will need can vary
@@patriktoth6258 hahaha that’s my favorite but what gets me most is most of the time it doesn’t matter if you leave it on, they just keep flying straight. Never understood why ppl do that
@@ClankerWanker Some people (F4E,F4J's and other planes with a single braincell) will react. Especially since the Phantoms RWR got upgraded. Now even those things can tell who's behind you,what is it and how far is he.
If you want me to do a prop guide I can, but you’re definitely in the minority if you’re just starting the game and trying to get right into sim. I don’t recommend it
@@Webly101 you definitely can lol I got to 11.7 in a fresh tree in about 3 days. Events go brrrr. Anyways yeah I didn’t make a video about controller because I don’t ever play with one. It wouldn’t make any sense for me to because I wouldn’t know any more than you do for example. So I don’t know why you’re complaining about that. Same with the props vs jets thing. I don’t play props nor do I recommend people use props to grind in sim
It's a very informative video, but i got a problem up on my hand I can't find a way to map my mouse as a pitch axis, yet it pitches even when i take out every bind from it. Do you have any solution for it?

WAR THUNDER PLAYER´S.........PLZ GO TO SIMULATION MODE AND FORGET ARCADE/REALISTIC MODE!!!
I just got hooked but only problem i have is i usual do team kill cuz i panic and none of my plane has iff
@@skirfanazimahmed1326Fast chat:4+1 "Follow me". That will gonna reveal your location on the map (for your teammates) and vica versa. Most players will answer
To bomb fields for 4 hours straight? How about i just play arcade instead and make 20 kills every game earning 100k+ sl per battle on rank IV
@@hrsmpIf you happy with it then go for it. Arcade can be fun especially in low/mid tier
@@hrsmpyou could always try shooting people in sim? Unless you're just bad and can't
Thank you for making this video due to all the tips i was able to have an ace sortie more first time around
Glad I could help
Good video. Just installed WT yesterday and hated the arcade mode controls, so want to dive into sim ASAP. But I'll have a lot to learn.
What’s your discord I’ll teach you
@@ClankerWanker thanks for the offer! I'll get up to speed on youtube though. So many distractions here I have to step away from my computer a lot.
I really need to put an auto-feeder on the pit in my basement.
On xbox i use a thrustmaster hotas for flight controls, and a wireless xbox controller for radar controls

finally a guide for mouse and keyboard
Good stuff. As a dcs player I actually like warthudber sim. Haha
What’s the difference like? Is warthunder much worse or is it just sorta like a more casual version of Dcs?

@@BuzzGoober2329 it's a lot more casual. Many things aren't modeled such as ATC and comms or are simplified, such as plane management.
Dcs is garbage compared to war thunder that's giganerd stuff games terrible

Why does this whole video assume someone is playing SIM for their first time in a jet with radar and aam?
… because it’s episode 1. A lot of people never touch sim and are at top tier, that’s my target audience
Saw you in the comments of toastman's F16C video, really good video quality, just keep doing what you're doing and you'll be big in no time!
Awesome thank you man I appreciate the encouragement. Working on the next video right now which will be even better
@@ClankerWanker if you want, i can help with some parts of your videos or make cinematics for your intros

@@ClankerWanker i do yeah
@@_r3kt_792 how should I contact you?
Hello, thank you for the Flight School, i hope you teach basic and advance fighting maneuvuers as well. :)
Yes thats my next video!
I wouldn't call War Thunder a simulator, it is pure game. DCS is a combat simulator.

I turn on the settings you say and my plane still goes up and down when I don’t want it to. I am flying a32a
That’s because the A32 needs to be trimmed. Turn off damping and trim your elevators until it doesn’t go up or down anymore. It’s very dependent on what speed you’re flying so the amount of trim you will need can vary
Good video. Thanks.
My best was 14-0 in the Mirage F1C-200 😂 Hunted down event farmers. Most of them with cannons. I changed to controller because its easier
Lmfao bro that’s insane
@@ClankerWankerI love sneaking up on people with radar turned off 😂

Nothing about controller and he immediately starts talking about jets... if you're actually new to the game just skip this one 🤷♂️

@@ClankerWanker not brand new to the game at all but the first like 5-6 ranks are props so it's not like you just get into jets in a month.

That could be a trim issue. Try using damping and see if it gets better. Also, use relative control to use your mouse
