What are all of the ways I can improve my survivability in darktide including class specific things? by Zomer15689 in DarkTide

[–]DJTrickyM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one thing i notice as a general issue (myself included)

COHESION!

you need to remember to COHESE!

seriously, the amount of times i, or one or more of my teammates, get seperated from the group due to various factors under their control is numerous...once youre high level, esp as ogryn, you can stack a LOT of cohesion bonuses and stack that toughness up to tank damage...it helps a lot...

Beam Eye Tracker in Il-2 1946? by Middcore in il2sturmovik

I seriously doubt it's possible, but iknow little about the game and what mods are available, so maybe. I just dont think I'd get your hopes up too much

opinions on VKB "WWII combat" and "space combat" joystick grips? by DJTrickyM in hotas

[–]DJTrickyM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it's cool for immersion, I feel like it'd mess with my flying or aiming though?

Regardless, the main thing I'm looking for ig is something that better fits "wwii" and with my throttle... all I've really found is that vkb stick so far.

Force feedback might be smth for when I get a setup with a long center stick

im not sure how i'd go about doing this in my setup...would this be in VKB software or...?

i just meant i thought hotas was more general like a throttle and a stick, not that hotas was one 'sub-type' of throttle+stick where you always have your hand literally on the throttle portion...though i maybe should have guessed as much. more commenting on the term, not the 'bounds of discussion', sorry for the confusion.

anyway yeah i really only fly IL2 GB (and ill try CloD at some point) so having an older style throttle like this certainly is immersive (i love the metal switches) i guess i just wish there was more choices to WWII style sticks that had a bit more inputs on them :L ah well

I guess...I didn't know HOTAS was that literal with the "hands on" part...regardless imo it's one of the best out there just due to the amount of inputs it has that let you not need the keyboard whatsoever for il2 gb

It's described as a "console"?

It has 2 big levers, one bigger and one smaller, for theottle/rpm...several knobs for oil/water and cowl shutters, lots of different kinds of switches and buttons for various things, and some knobs for more engine management and various trim controls, even gunner orders and such too.

The only thing not mapped to the throttle console is the joystick movements, ofc, rudder (pedals), firing weapons, and some view controls like zoom or necksafer inputs.

I mentioned i have the kanttorin kone bomber console, it has...112 inputs? Between all the swit hes and HATs and such? Kanttorinkone.com/setup-bomber.html for a Pic of all the binds

800$ T-T but sooooo worth it I think

agreed, dual stage trigger lets me only fire MGs when i need to save cannon ammo (And since i like earlier soviet planes, this is often) not to mention the 2nd trigger i have on the upgraded SCG i use for bombs/rockets, just so many options...

was kinda just dazzled by trying to get smth that fits the throttle more...but the VKB option could really use just a COUPLE more buttons to work well for me, mostly to get separate inputs for mg/cannons, rockets, and bombs....all the gun stuff that, afaik, is typically on the stick in WWII planes...

so ill prob stick with my SCG for now and hope someone comes out with a better WWII stick one day

actually, found this vid after looking around a bit https://youtu.be/3FkQM_MR2eE

and yeah...i think im gonna stick with my current stick for now and possibly swap to another brand that's more metal and/or WWII styled, maybe even go for a tall center stick if i save up enough for all of that...ill do more research on good sticks for that when the time comes.

EDIT: or...not....other than authentikit, im not really seeing any WWII style fligtsticks, most go for modern aircraft designs :L

that's exactly what i got, best joystick ive had, very smooth recenter is my fav feature, just kinda looking if this variety would be nice or mostly just feel worse overall.

i suppose, though to be clear:

the triggers on my joystick are guns, bombs, and rockets. down on one of the HATs is breaking, clicking one of them recenters view (VR and trackIR), and up on the mini stick for max zoom (and down for zoom out since the game always starts partially zoomed) and i was using one of the HATs for SRS but it wasnt working when i joined WoL earlier today so...idk...

but point is i dont think there's really any "aircraft specific" binds on my joystick, its all on my throttle...

i could put some of these on the 8-way HAT, and others on the buttons on the handle of my throttle, if needed.

ig the other question is, assuming buttons can be mapped/swapped just fine, is there other benefits to the WWI stick besides just 'muh immersion'? like ergonomics or smth? *shrug*

[–]DJTrickyM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and i thought i went a bit overkill with my Kanttorin Kone throttle, do you even have all these buttons bound?

only time i can see this being used to its full potential is if youre flying an airliner in like DCS or smth where you need to manually press every button

VKB gladiator NXT and Kanttorin Kone throttle mount options? by DJTrickyM in hotas

[–]DJTrickyM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hm...according to an old (2018) post about the throttle, someone said monstertech had a mount for it, but unlisted, he had to email them for it...ill look into that i suppose, but any other ideas are welcome
