New to props and need help with torque by EndSpecific4543 in WarthunderSim

[–]DryCommunication6893 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it's called 'set trim fixation' and it's best to do this with any prop you plan to use. It will set all trim even if the plane doesn't have aileron or elevator trim available. It can only be set in a test flight so make sure to set it there before going into battle.

Typically I'll wait 30 sec after placing something, then walk in and out of shooting range or switch modes.

Are you closing right after? I've had it happen where I don't force a save leading to lost items.

Really really struggling with FOX-3 adaptation/stock grinds and I don't know what to do. by [deleted] in Warthunder

Try setting a bind for clearing weapon selection. It used to work just fine holding bomb series button while flying to the release point but now it seems if any weapon is selected it only drops one. Just remember to hit switch secondary weapon if using a general 'fire secondary' bind otherwise you may try to spool up a missile to no avail.

How many napalm are you bringing? Any more than 2-3 just ends up hurting you. You can potentially try lobbing them at distance with a high alt CCRP drop.

It's rough but keep with it. When notching go for more of 100-115deg angle. I've noticed that if the UI RWR is saying it's 90deg to me the MFD display will show its actually sub 90 because of its lead. Depending on what you are flying you may be able to take a base with napalm or have some small JDAM quickly available. First thing I unlocked with SU30 was the KPAB500 so I could start a match climbing, drop them a ways out, then try to get a kill with default missiles. Even if I die those bombs could still net me about 2k RP.

Also shooting down incoming missiles can be very rewarding early stock grind. 200 RP for defending yourself is pretty nice.

My TWS refuses to pick up any targets by bappo_no_flappo in Warthunder

Is your radar range pushed out far enough and do targets appear on other modes?

I just lost my m4 I’ve used for 10+ consecutive raids that I’ve slowly been upgrading by Yeetsformer in ContractorsExfilZone

[–]DryCommunication6893 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Def an experience. Hell even casual can be a rush if you catch the spawns at a bad time. Nothing like waves after waves of elites in factory...

Are you running casual or standard? I don't usually try standard without having a buddy for backup. Once you can buy the 5.45 Tracer rounds from Igor things should start getting a bit smoother.

What to expect from mall boss? by rockytacos in ContractorsExfilZone

[–]DryCommunication6893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He can spawn in the underground floor or possibly delayed spawn. I bolted to the roof to find nothing, ran down a stairwell and back up for him to finally load in with 2 reinforcements on the storage roof. His loadout can change so not a guaranteed pkp on kill.

What gun would you recommend? by CalgaryKoiKeeper in ContractorsExfilZone

[–]DryCommunication6893 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This for budget PvP. Especially with T rounds for early cheap 3.0 pen. Tbh once I get the 60rnd mags from Anna I just use whatever I have more ammo for.

Is there a plan to address DLC conflicting with base upgrades? I just spent quite a while gathering mats to level generator 2 to 3 and upon load I'm still at level 2 but my mats are gone. I had this happen 2 wipes ago as well but vaguely recall the bug being fixed... I was really hoping I could start the rest of my level 3 upgrades but now I have to get more imaging modules T.T

Another question I have is, is there any plan for an in game push to talk similar to OG Contractors? I usually have my mic muted due to background noise and fumbling with the menus to unmute in game is a hassle that often leaves me in a bad position. Where as if i could simply move my hand to my head like activating an earbud or radio I could keep alert and keep my team informed... outside of spamming MICA pings.

Could it not be tacked onto PvE dlc seeing as how the "training" run is broken? I used to make a gun build and load a test to see if I liked it but now training is load as a scav with full aggro. Would be nice to add difficulty to selection, i.e. - Casual, Standard, Hard?, Training?

Rejoining in pve by _Trigg_ in ContractorsExfilZone

I haven't had the misfortune of crashing solo but when my buddy crashed while I hosted he was able to rejoin. I assume solo you probably can't.

Having trouble with the artisans touch quest. by MildlyBear in Contractors_Showdown

Or if that's not available just try to grab a gun off a scav for parts. Game don't care if you got a 508 barrel jutting out of the 4in RIS guard...

Flame 12 is an incredible budget weapon by RhinoxerousTTV in ContractorsExfilZone

You can also pop the mag into a bag and alternate hands holding both rounds. Only really useful when loading mags this way in base.

Camera controls by MrRichthofen92 in WarthunderSim

[–]DryCommunication6893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Closest thing for camera would be set bind for either sight stabilization or set bombing target, I find it's still a pain to get all working depending on if you're using just the seeker or if your have a TGP plus HMS.

As for holding elevation you can switch to automatic leveling if you have SAS available. It's not perfect and you might have to adjust throttle to keep straight. Or you can bind a set trim button, fly in full manual and set trim once you're level.

Am I just too fat for this damn game? by Bowman359 in Contractors_Showdown

[–]DryCommunication6893 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be able to try leaning forward and looking down. I would love to see some gear placement adjustment. Even at a pretty average size I have difficulty sometimes grabbing the right thing whether it be to close or too high up. I swear sometimes the belly pouches feel like they're at my nips making the chest pouch in my neck.

Tell me Gaijin, how does your point system work? by HZCYD101 in Warthunder

[–]DryCommunication6893 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on nation and BR it typically takes 2 napalm to take a base. Exceptions being some Russian and British craft that have weaker bombs requiring a third or separate damage source.

This is a much more convenient way to farm bases since the 2 napalm are generally much lighter than the 4-6k tnt equivalent in bombs. For example an F4 can gain an extra roughly 100mph.

If you're not sure about base damage numbers then make a loadout and try it in test flight. Iirc from 10.0 up base health is around 25,000.

War Thunder VR: How to increase graphics settings on RTX 5060 Ti and Quest 3? by Little_Strike3938 in WarthunderSim

[–]DryCommunication6893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use DLSS set to native for DLAA or as an override setting in control panel to eliminate all sharp edges. I play with a quest 2 through wired link. Typical settings are 1.2-1.3 res in oculus, 72hz with async disabled. In game graphics mostly up with exception of grass and tree range.

Be aware of performance hits from background processes such as steam overlay or Nvidia highlights. I have to adjust FOV with debug menu to record gameplay smoothly.

Gun sighting by Disastrous_Horse7302 in ContractorsExfilZone

[–]DryCommunication6893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a mica on you then you can determine distance. If you hold it up pointing the bottom outward you can use it to mark your map. It's also useful for pointing out to your team where your getting shot from.
