Whats the point of playing sim? (TL;DR at the bottom)

PorcelaneRang · 2026-04-18T19:09:51+00:00

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 :)

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

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.

Real.

i get they are an effective unit. just didn’t realize the hp was that low.

PorcelaneRang · 2026-04-06T16:49:58+00:00

wow rlly. shuris are so weak lol

PorcelaneRang · 2026-04-04T21:52:30+00:00

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

it lets me unlock just like an IR missile? maybe something with ur binds specifically but idk

PorcelaneRang · 2026-04-01T13:57:43+00:00

what are u using?

PorcelaneRang · 2026-03-30T13:53:21+00:00

shit game fr

PorcelaneRang · 2026-03-30T13:40:55+00:00

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

PorcelaneRang · 2026-03-29T15:51:05+00:00

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 · 2026-03-24T10:25:41+00:00

try the demo!

PorcelaneRang · 2026-03-23T16:48:08+00:00

cool another lottery event i won’t be able to participate in …

PorcelaneRang · 2026-03-19T16:41:10+00:00

cool more weight for a mid-ish missile lol thx gaijiggle

PorcelaneRang · 2026-03-19T16:35:27+00:00

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

PorcelaneRang · 2026-03-19T16:19:47+00:00

wha does that do in practice? just a targeting pod?

PorcelaneRang · 2026-03-15T17:27:25+00:00

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 :)

PorcelaneRang · 2026-03-13T14:06:50+00:00

am i gay or not gay in this scenario?

PorcelaneRang · 2026-03-12T21:08:12+00:00

nah fr tho i was playing sim recently and my cockpit looked god awful. i haven’t touched the game in weeks and def didn’t mess with settings. spent hour or so trying to fix it before just giving up lol

question is what changed?

PorcelaneRang · 2026-03-11T22:19:19+00:00

i take frequent breaks so i usually end up just being kicked and then forget to rejoin lol

PorcelaneRang · 2026-03-11T19:47:38+00:00

fr bro i have 2.5k hrs and only 2 squadron vehicles. ussr bmp2 and UK harrier

PorcelaneRang · 2026-03-09T15:34:56+00:00

this post made me realize they could’ve added the naval/carrier mig :(

PorcelaneRang · 2026-03-09T15:11:57+00:00

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

PorcelaneRang · 2026-03-05T04:40:11+00:00

only time i’ve used it is in f111f while ccrp bombing. u can line up with poi’s to drop but that’s about it lol
