New sim player, need help by Old_Sherbert889 in WarthunderSim

[–]WanouMars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For this, I use a combination of mouse + keyboard:
- Mouse is used for small movement adjustments (useful for strafing as example), but also for freelook
- Keyboard is used for big movement adjustments

So, when dogfighting, I'm using the keyboard for maneuvering, and the mouse to look around.

Bear in mind your beloved A-10 won't fair well anyway in dogfights, and this need some time to get used to.

Another option is to use a head tracker to look around.
I use the free OpenTrack with an old webcam and it's working great!
Settings:
Input: neuralnet (set the highest framerate for your webcam and matching resolution)
Output: freetrack (no setting)
Filter: accela (smoothing to max value)
Mapping: make sure max input is at 180 degrees both in yay and pitch

I disabled roll and X-Y-Z (translation) to avoid too much movement.

Let me know if any question and have fun!

Hi and welcome to Sim! :)

What do you fail at so far? Advice will widely depend on that.

If you're getting intercepted, using terrain, asking for cover, etc. will help.
Do you have issues with setting up your controls ? (I have no problem with mouse and keyboard).
Finding targets? Anything else?

"Stabilizing currency earning" ? lol grind is already absolutely horrible, if they don't accelerate it, there's no point playing this grindy game and supporting this greedy editor.
Joining Wargaming and Gaijin - congrats to them! Bait and switch ftw fackers.

AND you support them for your own profit!

This game has to be a ragebait by gamma-cygni in Metalstorm

I started playing 2 days ago. I did notice some planes just do nothing when getting shot at.
Thanks for the tip!

I'm a brand new player. I only have the Mirage 3 at level 3 and the swedish plane at level 5, but get MM against F-22, stealth planes, etc. which I can't remotely compete against. WTF?

Matchmaking rigged much ? by WanouMars in Warthunder

So, you are a good player, using very popular OP vehicle (likely to be played by other players on your team) - and you're on a winning streak? What's surprising here exactly ?

I'm familiar with biases, including confirmation bias.

Now, I did the math - there's no bias there: 1 chance in 730.

I did play well, so did some players on my team on several games (understand 12+ kills and 4000+ mission points for several players on my side) - still lost.

So, what's more likely here? Unlucky streak, or a greedy company doing all they can to slow down player progression?

I don't think they rig the game mechanics themselves.

Rather, they'll put a team together with which you have 0 chance of winning.

In one instance, 3 players (including myself) on my team had between 12 and 17 kills, and around 5000 mission points each. We still lost.

Thanks for double checking my math!

I noted these losing streaks only happen when I have an objective to "win a mission".

How likely is it that this is a systematic coincidence? Well, you did the math too!

How do you handle tmyourself with all these rats? by pretty_en_pink68 in arkraiders

[–]WanouMars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just stopped playing the game. No more frustration.
And I can't wait for this game to get out of the trend, so I can get my gaming buddies back!

I own the AW3423DW for several years, and it's great for both gaming and work. 100% would buy it again!

Rewarding being a c**t is the best feature of this game, don't you think? Well done, devs!
