Not sure why the going left started, but it continues because generally if you go right you get 1v5ed and ganked.

[@jalmarisavojoki8975]

I think it may have originated back when they added the first fighters with PD radars with SARH missiles as this naturally cranks both teams and reduce closure at the start of the match and there was actually a reason to sideclimb. I think when the PD radars with elctronic processing came (F-16 and MiG-29 with the R-27ER) it made notching really difficult. But at some point they introduced the mechanic wwhere the missiles would guice to a ground reflection when flying close to the ground which makes all SARHs miss it was still useful as therewould be strength in numbers as you are less likely to be targeted and if you are you are more likely to get back up

@@jalmarisavojoki8975 I've been playing since 2014, its been a thing basicly since the beginning of time

[@nickodom108]

"Going Left" has been a thing since Warthunder introduced realistic airbattles battles in 2013-2014. Early Air RB maps such as Sicily, or even older maps like Landing at Hokkaido, Airfields on those maps were set up so that when a team took off "Straight Out" off their airfield and climbed to altitude, the Opposite team would most likely always been on their RIGHT. Therefore, "Going Left" especially during early prop plane maps and matches became ESSENTIAL because climbing/staying left gave climbing fighter aircraft the BEST chance of climbing above their opponent before starting an engagement. As time went on, more and more players picked up this trend, eventually "Going Left" and staying with the team also became a safety in numbers kind of benefit where if you went RIGHT instead of LEFT with the team, you would be caught alone and jumped by the entire enemy team and would get an early return to hanger. Warthunder Air RB players then have this ONLY GO LEFT mentality stamped into our brains muscle memories from the beginning of our Air RB career and as we continuously play and grind, by the time we get to top tier jets, we don't even think about where to fly off the airfield except to the "Left". But thats just a theory 😅

[@PiousSlayer]

Doesn't that get kind of boring though? Optimized the fun out of the mode, imo. Its basically zerging like in WvWvW in MMORPG's (specifically GW2) where its just one giant blob of players fighting another blob of players in open world pvp.

[@bpop2148]

About everyone going left; Not too sure why it started, probably with the small maps way back but the reason it’s still around is because sticking by your team you will survive for a lot longer. If you go to the right you will just get hyper focused by the whole enemy team.

[@BarkerVancity]

over 10 years later, hardly any of those players are around anymore, or are vastly outnumbered by new ones. neither does the size of the map really make a difference, especially when the aircraft only flew a fraction of the speeds they do in todays WT. why was left chosen over straight or right? it must be phycological. most of the world is right hand drive. it is in russia and north america at least, europe is a mix and aussie is left. so naturally as a canadian i walk on the right side use right doors, i would naturally go right. why is clockwise right? so i find it actually very intresting it goes left/clockwise

[@rapter1x1x]

@@BarkerVancity The original reason would be irrelevant as new people cycled through learning from those that came before. but as for why it was originally left I have no idea.

About the left side rule, lets just say there is a reason carriers have their tower on the starboard side ^^

[@TheGreyGhost23]

eh its a carryover from the propeller plane days

[@LtCWest]

@@TheGreyGhost23 Yep, cause early tests have shown that when aborting a landing, the majority of pilots had a tendancy to veer off to the left. ^^

[@TheGreyGhost23]

something sometthing to do with prop torque too @@LtCWest

[@norske_ow3440]

It has a lot to do with the majority of people being right handed. Almost all hockey players and figure skaters are much more comfortable turning, stopping, spinning, etc to the left. But as far as carriers, prop torque does pull the plane left, and that was a major factor back in the day.

[@RichardArcuri]

Gaijin trained us all to go left from the beginning. its part of the brain washing program lol. All airfields were slanted left since the beta lol

[@shotak5771]

Multiple factors as to why everyone goes Left: 1. If you go Right currently you will get headons with the entire enemy team. 2. Due to the old maps, going left gave you more sideclimbing ability compared to going right which in old maps was the direction of the enemy airbase. 3. Jousting Mentality, assuming most if not all players are right handed (mouse) its the natural proclivity to lead with the less dominant side (ie left ) You see this a lot in games of chicken where both sides have a nuetral understanding to veer right if they chicken out. Or in jousting where both sides set up as to have their shield closer to the divider. 4. Dexterity of Keyboard fingers, your pointer finger (your most used finger) is usually on D and E which will usually involve you going left at the start to maximize the amount of time you may go right later in the match. 5. Gun placement (modern vehicles) on most modern jets like the F-16 the gun is usually on the left making it naturally easier to fire on targets on the left whilst not risking running into them as much. But in the end the main reason everyone goes left is simply due to spawn placement and maximizing the distance between eachother, most people don't want to be killed early into the match so maximizing the distance you are from enemy spawns gives you more time to fly (Most AFK players are usually flying on their left). As a test, after takeoff, fly perpendicular right as fast and as low as you can and once your team is a good ways past the secondary airfield, slowly start turning back in. Most players will be looking right to spot enemy players by the time you barrel in from their left. ( I used this a lot on A-10's when I used the Mig 21R-13).

Yes “Left climbing” is very frustrating for some of us.

[@echalone]

I also asked myself the question about why so many go left xD but it seems to be conditional... like, this happens most with jets and faster planes, it doesn't happen on every map, like the city map has a drift to the right, and it's also kind of self-enforcing... the more that go left the more will go with them... because when you go right, I soon found out at the beginning, you die fast... since there are nearly no friends and all your enemies went to that side since that's their left. So breaking the cycle is nearly impossible. Many maps also have a layout that's making it more advantageous to go left, like Golan Heights. I think it's a combination of all those things.

[@TheIkamiki]

You should also descent while notching, to drag the opposite missile down to more dense air so it will lose its energy faster. Plus notcing really only works if you have terrain as background to blend in so the seeker has harder time keeping the lock. Not sure if missile aerodynamics and radars are modelled right in wt thought.

You brought up everyone going left. Well on that specific spawn on Kamchatka, everyone goes right for me (I play mostly 11.0 f4e). And on the enemy's side, they themselves all go left from their perspective. This way from your perpective, you and the bunch of the team that went right all meet headon with enemies on the east side of the map, around the volcanos. For me in my f-4e against russians with better all aspects, this is a death sentence, so i almost never got to bomb or even get any kills. I noticed this pattern today, and started going left, and often im the only person who does so. This results im me getting my bombs off, along weiht a garunteed 2-3 kills. And if I spawn on the north side of Kamchatka, I flank the opposite way, right. Since I made this change, it's actually making me so good in F-4e, and I consistntly get 1-3'd place in the team with multiple bases and enemy planes killed. And as far as my observaitions go, this behaviour of most players meeting on the right side of the map ONLY happens on Kamchatka map too lol. Idk why, but it's interesting, and I do exploit this knowledge, having discovered it.

[@OnlyonXBOXONE]

The reason to fly left is to have enough distance for you and the enemy and plan out the attack. If you go straight, you are going to have a higher chance of getting into a Furball. And if you fly right it's literally a death sentence and you have most of the enemy team chasing you.
