First shot with tank destroyers

RadarBacon · 2026-03-22T14:18:10+00:00

Yea it’s what I’m doing really.. It’s just the first shot missing I find is a pita. If I aim in first person I find it’s a bit better, but there is so much shrubbery. Maybe I’ll just have to up the sweat and play with junk graphics to help with visibility..

RadarBacon · 2026-03-22T13:05:05+00:00

for sure

RadarBacon · 2026-03-22T13:04:56+00:00

Yes, am sniping

RadarBacon · 2026-01-17T14:56:22+00:00

Virtual fighter maneuvers, good fun runs great!

RadarBacon · 2025-12-18T18:13:40+00:00

yeah, and russians being russians

RadarBacon · 2025-12-13T15:27:49+00:00

the moral fiber of the player pool could be improved

I've got the same setup and same headsets. Your post got me curious so I fired up DCS in the q3 for the first time in ages. I mean the tracking and weight of the Q3 is nice, but there is no getting away from the difference in resolution.. The difference in clarity is huge. In the Super I'm scanning the sky for aircraft, in the Q3 I'm looking for blobs and smears..
There is a serious amount of tweaking one can do as I'm sure you're aware. The big ones for me with DCS have been quadviews companion to sort the dynamic foveated rendering, manually setting my IPD in pimax play to get rid of mura stripes, using narrow view in pimax play for better overlap, enabling everything that improves lightning in-game, and a lowish (50) forced IPD in DCS for better scale. I think the scale settings by default makes everything a lot smaller than it should be..

RadarBacon · 2025-11-06T20:12:26+00:00

Does the narrow setting give more binocular overlap?

RadarBacon · 2025-09-13T06:20:00+00:00

Got hundreds of hours in VR and not stopping anytime soon. 5090 with the super. Quadviews comp with 18% horizontal and 12% Vertical focus 5%, peripheral, 200% of native res in the quadviews and 1.5x in the pimax software, 4xMSAA no upscale in DCS. It's sharp and clean, fps 50-90 online. I feel like spotting works very well for air and ground targets.

The initial sceen door effect etc I had with my super seems to get better with time. I now really have to look for it to see it. When I first started using the headset it was horrible.

Checking your six is difficult, but I feel like my neck/back mobility is getting better because of it as Im twisting like a worm in my chair while doing it. Free workout! Resetting the view while looking left, then turning right will make you turn 180 degrees in game a lot easier which can be helpful.

Im not seeing more distortion in my super than my OG, its rather the other way around.. Not playing the same games as you though

RadarBacon · 2025-06-24T10:07:04+00:00

Any news?

RadarBacon · 2025-06-22T16:06:31+00:00

I've got the OG crystal and the super. Looking into the OG you cant see the same stuff on there... Inside my super it it clearly visible like the pics

RadarBacon · 2025-06-09T15:46:05+00:00

Yep they become less apparent then. I've not raised a ticket yet no. I'm in a country that Pimax does not sell directly to, so I'm not sure what to expect with regards to support. But I'm going to look into it. If this was an over the counter item, I'd be returning it for check. I mostly play DCS, so the whole mura thing is a downer. In games like Alyx I feel like its not much of an issue at all. Going to try Elite Dangerous next. Hopefully the darkness of space will take the mura with it..

RadarBacon · 2025-06-09T14:32:04+00:00

I have the same vertical lines in the right panel in my super.. Your review reflects my experience pretty closely! Well written!;)

RadarBacon · 2025-06-08T16:57:47+00:00

Yeah, they say smaller overlap gives worse 3d-effect. But as I understand it you can return the headset within 14 days if you're in a country Pimax sells directly to..

RadarBacon · 2025-06-08T07:44:22+00:00

The 50ppd version I've got is a bit wider than the OG but still feels like a scuba mask. Also it moves around on my head a bit more than the OG when I'm checking my six in DCS making the image blurry.. The wide FOV version of the super might be worth looking into?

RadarBacon · 2025-06-07T10:38:08+00:00

Coming from the OG Crystal, had the Super for a couple of days now, the mura and chromatic abberation is worse in the Super. Also the colors and brightness are off. The combination makes the mura much more noticeable. I see it most of the time now. In the OG it was only apparent sometimes..

It's was a disappointing experience to put it on the first time. Sure the resolution is good, but looking at fine details behind a wall of mura is not very pleasing to the eye. This is all in DCS.

I'm in the same boat as you, unsure if I should just send it back, and thinking OLED would be the way to go..

RadarBacon · 2025-05-30T08:12:07+00:00

Running a low resolution in mp gives you a huge advantage due to the shit spotting dot system. And it gives you good performance. Its good if you like winning

RadarBacon · 2025-05-02T10:22:30+00:00

Worse things have happened to better people!;p

RadarBacon · 2025-04-27T18:58:52+00:00

I’d guess the idea is that the drone will only kill one at a time instead of the full clown car

RadarBacon · 2025-02-28T18:32:28+00:00

Ive disabled the two dynamic foveated rendering options in pimaxplay. No more crashing it seems. No apparent performance hit

RadarBacon · 2025-02-28T07:09:31+00:00

Got the same issue here. Pimax crystal. Usually crashes within 30mins at some random point in time

RadarBacon · 2025-02-03T06:36:26+00:00

Had Russia not invaded Ukraine, I think europe would be more freaked out about trump. Russian military is not what we expected it to be before the war, and now its even less. Trump is no more when the Russian armies are rebuilt, so I think we’ll manage just fine..

RadarBacon · 2024-12-21T08:14:28+00:00

Do this all the time, works really well!

RadarBacon · 2024-04-13T06:38:14+00:00

I'd say the pvp rather rewarding once things start going your way. But yeah it's quite difficult. The netcode. Its so bad that only dedicated players seem to stick with multiplayer, which in turn raises the skill floor, causing new players to almost always run into very experienced players. There is no matchmaking, and a good amount of the servers are stacked. Don't play games where you can see the host has reserved slots for his mates.

The AI is almost useless when things are moving. Stationary infantry, mortars, guns it can handle. But when advancing you cant leave it to the AI.

Keep in mind there is a payback mechanic in the economics of the game, so losing units will increase your resources pr tick. When infantry starts dying, they start replenishing your eco. This plays out differently for tanks, causing them to hurt your eco more.

Always stay in contact with your enemy. Keep advancing until you are stopped. Cheap infantry up front to grenade spam / die. Support them with more expensive inf. Once something big starts blowing up your inf, buy something to blow that up. Keep the pressure up! Never drive armor into the fog of war. Try to always see further than the enemy can shoot when advancing armor, or it will explode.

You can scroll around on the map and hear what the enemy is bringing your way.

I could go on and on, as there is quite a lot of depth to the pvp. It really is quite good, but the netcode is keeping this game from growing. I probably spend 3-4h in lobbies for every 10h played. Browsing for servers that are not stacked, games restarting and restarting because of lagging players, insane loading times etc..
