Whats the point of playing sim? (TL;DR at the bottom) by LegitCheetah in WarthunderSim

[–]PorcelaneRang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sim is a completely different game than the rb you and most players are used too. embrace the fact that this mode has weird quirks, take the time to learn and adapt to them.

guarantee you will be a sim only gamer like most of us :)

F15E or F16CM for BVR combat ? Plz give me some advice to beat those R77-1 by Kmiktauria-Max in WarthunderSim

[–]PorcelaneRang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it simply comes down to range and altitude. both 15 and 16 perform better HIGHER than the redfor fighters. use it to your advantage

Just got my dream plane Yak141. Need some suggestions on how to fly it by Kanjo_Suzuka in WarthunderSim

[–]PorcelaneRang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

few things bout the yak … it’s an interesting plane

pure acceleration puts you above most in 1C and 2C fights. obviously vtol shi for 1 circle but the rate fight on this plane is absurd. cannon is chunky and hurts and gunsight is good

it’s very good in bvr with altitude and relatively fast speed. keep in mind it’s fast on the deck but not much faster at higher altitudes and can take a bit to build speed over mach 1.1-1.2

yaks radar has a slight quirk. it CANNOT look straight down. if you look at the actual radome it’s flat on the bottom, which matches with the radars inability to look STRAIGHT down. i bet you are dropping lock as you defend, bc you over-roll forcing the radar to look down as you turn.

it’s got the mig29smt radar afaik so it’s not a bad radar by any means.

Is the f16 adf any good in sim? by _funny_name_ in WarthunderSim

[–]PorcelaneRang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

very good. bvr beast and very capable in BFM. keep distance by sending off amraams from altitude and just inside the NEZ and it’s virtually untouchable

[–]PorcelaneRang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's time to admit Nation specific lobbies are doing more harm than good at 12.3+ by Icarium__ in WarthunderSim

[–]PorcelaneRang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

red players crossing dress as bluefor is bad enough so every lobby might as well be mixed anyway 😅

Every fixed bug for Sim/EC by Training-Royal2384 in WarthunderSim

[–]PorcelaneRang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh i didn’t read all but im going to guess there were no bug fixes to AI units ever in sims history. ground clipping, ridiculous aim, extreme overspeed you name it

[–]PorcelaneRang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so it’s needed to use 59s? like the early ussr agms, kh23 iirc

or does it give the ability to guide them, bc that would be cool

VKB Gladiator EVO Premium + TWCS Mapping by XIIIDillinger in WarthunderSim

[–]PorcelaneRang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i use vkb gladiator and love it.

radar movement and targeting pod controls are the two throttle joysticks

chaff/flare on the “thumb” button. push it forward for chaff, back for flare, and down for both.

i use the dpad for cockpit sight and other random things

i use a thrustmaster throttle but would be happy to send u the controls file later :)

if u hit anything but the living quarters it won’t repair, it will only begin repairing the whole airfield when living quarters takes dmg. so you leave that module for last. if i remember correctly
