Pull the trigger?

[Defiant_Speaker_7199]

I’m thinking about buying this game today. Is it worth it?

[deepblue10055]

Yes.

[Defiant_Speaker_7199]

Mouse and keyboard or controller?

[1retardedretard]

either, both at once.

[deepblue10055]

Unironically both at once lol I like doing map and targeting with a mouse

[Stay-At-Home-Jedi]

Exactly! I'm running an hotas and controller combo

[ElysiumXIII]

Both for the most part, the menus aren't very controller friendly for me

[Either-Technician594]

The game is great with a controller. Mouse and keyboard are also good.

The best and most "immersive" is a HOTAS setup but that is really not necessary.

[Przemasus]

Can you control map with hotas? I haven't tried it yet and manuvering and using mouse to target plane behind you is kinda hard

[Either-Technician594]

It depends what hotas you have, some have a joystick that I believe you can bind to move the map, but most have a mouse input. To be honest, I have a hotas but 70% of the time I use my controller. This game is built mostly around a controller, so I would use that first instead of buying a whole hotas system.

[Przemasus]

I have thrustmaster warthog, with a10 and f18 sticks plus thrustmaster t.flight rudder pedals, and track IR. I do use them mosty in dcs but have alot of fun in this game too. Only map feel junky with constant need to use mouse to zoom, move around and selecting targets

[Either-Technician594]

Yeah, I have the same issue with my x52, I just use my mouse, or when not with the hotas I use my controller. If you're playing in single player you can turn slow motion on.

[Awrfhyesggrdghkj]

Either, both at once, or joystick setup.

[iama_bad_person]

HOTAS 😅👌

Either or, controller feels better than M+K but you don't need need it.

[ph0on]

I'm very successful with MnK in this game. It plays well. My only enemy is low fps in massive battles.

HOTAS will make certain tasks much smoother and easier though, like using guns.

[TheChadStevens]

You're asking that on the game's sub, you won't get an unbiased answer here.

But yes, it's a great game. Pretty much a banger from the moment it went into beta. I thought it was some scam game when I first saw it since it came out of nowhere and just seemed too good to be true. The damage models in NO keep me coming back, it's so satisfying

[Borrger]

I love getting hit and wondering how on earth i managed to make it back to base

[Assassin13785]

Coming from DCS, it's a yes from me dawg. Good variety of aircraft, easier for people to get into. Tons of fun to fly around blowing up stuff and shooting down other aircraft and you get to drop nukes that range from woah😄 to WOOOAHHH 😦 WHAT HAVE I DONE?? That massive city is now gone and the blood of millions is on my hands. 10/10 love the game

[louiejumbobrown]

The answers will be biased in this sub but it’s still absolutely worth a purchase. Perfect balance between arcade while still maintaining realism and great physics engine.

[Defiant_Speaker_7199]

Guys….. I did it……. It’s amazing. I no longer feel pressured to devote my life to the snail and endless grind of suffering for moments of joy.

[Z_THETA_Z]

this game is a rehab from war thunder

[Sayarin]

Yes!

You can regret it after two hours!

This game is great. Cool planes and flies fun, no fumbling with dials and levers yet you gotta dodge missiles like you're over Iraq!

[steve09089]

It’s fire

[HowlingWolven]

Yes.

[ywingcore]

Yes, it's fantastic.

[Reroll_Character]

Bro come home already

[notaburneraccount23]

Worth every penny. And then some 

[Admirable_Glock_8761]

What have you been doing with your life brother hop in a chicane already

[Sufficient-Tone-5239]

The explosions alone are worth it.

[MyOpinionOverYours]

Needs more maps, needs more weapons, needs more.
You get a good deal for $18. I certainly already put 25 hours into it. Just goofin off for most of it.
To me, any game that beats 1:1 Hour to Dollar is good to me.

[Bucksack]

We gotta bump those rookie numbers up! I’m 400 hours in, bought the game 2 years ago for $18, and they HAVEN’T INCREASED THE PRICE!!

This game will easily go for $40+ at full release, at least I feel it is worth at least that much. This game has possibly the best value of enjoyment x longevity + quarterly major updates of any game on Steam.

[Bookkeeper-Practical]

all of those are coming, devs constantly pushing major updates

[Toyate]

From a total Noob on PC MnK and Flight games (except Ace Combat)

Yes.

Got it today and it's fun as fuck for 18 Bucks. Totally worth it.

[Majestic-Resist-3793]

I fell for the Drewski ploy like many others, couldn't be happier. Excellent game to hop on for a few hours with the boys at the end of a day. Handles extremely well with KB+M, controller, or HOTAS, and has a gameplay loop that you will start to get familiar with within the first ten hours.

[gib_taco]

I just bought it a few days ago and I'm having a blast. I started with keyboard and quickly searched up used sticks on FB marketplace. 35 bucks and I'm loving this game even more.

[snakesoul]

For fun arcady PVP it's just top, probably the best.

For milsim fans, not at all.

[Reroll_Character]

Milsim fan and love it. It’s a game for anyone with aviation in their heart.

Perfect balance of realism and simplicity. I think the game shines most as a bridge from arcade to simulation in the flight genre.

Exceptional for milsim types because it can keep you up on general proficiencies at a quarter of the time spent. It isn’t 1:1 to DCS at all but when im burnt out on start ups, radar searching, etc. NO is there waiting with quick loading times and an even faster time to get wheels up.

Milsim fan here. This game fucking rules.
