Reviewing The Bf 109 F-4 | War Thunder Sim VR

[@noodlebob5302]

Just got you in my recommended, have fun going viral

[@TeaRexChannel]

The algorithm has blessed me 👌

[@deadlybladesmith3093]

Those frame drops happen in any gamemode. And not just in VR. It is when you fly into someone's oil trail. Its very annoying when trying to kill bombers, and the screen locks up. Especially with .50 cals or less, because you have to be accurate with shots to do anything.

[@TeaRexChannel]

Yes I noticed after that game that it seems to only be if the enemy is trailing oil or water

[@smellyhusband]

In vr i find any pending update ruins game play . My rig is on weaker side . I ll go from 74 fps to 25 because window s or steam or somthing else that updates daily starts screaming . Thats with no notifcation s its fucked

[@TeaRexChannel]

Sorry if this one feels a bit rushed, because it was - less than 36 hours from recording to upload. After loosing all of my footage from the weekend it was a mad scramble to get this week's videos done before I go away on Thursday. Stuff should be up to scratch again next week :)

[@Spicysauced]

Rushed? "Less than 36 hours from recording to upload" Mate how high is your standard, I record, throw everything in Premiere, cut it to about 30 mins and go with it 🙈 I know that with our mode, sim, we'll never grow really big anyway, its too niche. Exceptions apply (see your exploit video), but the average views are around 1k I guess.

[@TeaRexChannel]

@@Spicysauced i hold myself to a VERY high standard lol. If I want to get more people into sim I need to present it at its best 😁

[@Spicysauced]

@@TeaRexChannel That would presuppose, that poeple have a general interest in sim in the the first place, which just is not the case for the majority of wt players. There is just not enough critical mass for a sim channel to take off really. If youd focus on RB with that type of high quality, you could get somewhere, but we are a niche and will peobably always be one.

[@damn8445]

Great Work! Should use the footage to my students to show proper energy management haha! Keep up your high standards ! I started playing WT, sim only about 6 months ago, and I am only now discovering your videos. Wish I had them before would have saved me some hard learning. Good job mate

[@Mountain_Manu]

quite crazy when taking into account that at it's BR it fights aircraft that generally have been put into service 2, 3 or sometimes even 4 years later then the F4. Just imagine how this bird would actually own if it would fight it's comtemporaries.. P40E, Buffalo, Wildcat, Mig3, Lagg3, early Yak1 , Hurricane 2c and alike. The only aircraft coming close would be the early Spit Mk5

[@Schimml0rd]

Ikr, gaijin fking cucking us :D I was soo stoked to finally unlock the k4 only to learn it fights jets '>.>

[@p7outdoors297]

That's sobering to think about

[@martijn9568]

I think it is worth mentioning that the BF-109 F-4 engine's power settings did get improved a bit throughout its service life, but the same is true for many other aircraft.

[@Smartcom5]

Gaijin propping up their U.S. clientele as always. Just so they abuse the heck out of the game with moronically overpowered U.S. fighters using turrets in Sim ... SMH

[@sule.A]

​@@martijn9568isnt that the g2?

[@Schimml0rd]

15:10 i had NO IDEA this was actually the same map as the ground forces map, mind = blown!

[@TeaRexChannel]

Yup. Tunisia, Stalingrad, Maginot Line. They are all "combined" maps that can be found across the different game modes

[@jahrainaenvil4590]

13:54 I know that with almost everybody flying the P-61 in mouseaim mode it does not really matter.....but as someone who has actually flown the Widow from the cockpit, I feel I can safely say that those nose guns are actually twenties, four of them. I really like these twin-beam designs, so after the P-38s this was the plane I always wanted to fly. What I really missed was the ability to lock the turret in forward position, and use it as fixed weaponry. Not that any additional firepower was needed, but in fact I had to fly with turret guns switched off, as the trigger-happy gunner would always spoil my favorite attack (dive from above, dip below and fire on the way up).

[@TeaRexChannel]

Right, 20mm in the nose! Of course! I should have picked up on that but I was a walking zombie when I made this one xD

[@datziklegendz1225]

how do u fix the gunner turret forward? i thought u couldnt?

[@acepreussen14preussichaddl88]

12:55 it happens that I scrolling for tutorial and I found my name here! Hello TeaRex! Thank you for trying to save me but sadly fileoffish really hate me after I deflected shot him for twice so he decide to chased me all the way to the base. I never realized you was helping me at the game and I was really new back then (A year ago!) nice kill at 13:19 and thank you for avenge me! After that I just hoped in to my 109F4/trop and do another mission :) Yes Tunisia is my favorite map too! 13:50 yes I must admitted that I tried to do turn fighting with my flaps so I can shot the P-61 from his zenith because I don't like his turret gunners. 15:55 looking at the stats probably I was still grinding the 109F4/trop back in the day

[@onebullet95wt22]

The title should be: faster than spitfire but slower than everything else lol Good video on this amazing and lovely plane :)

[@santiagoperez2094]

yeah but actually its faster than the spit because the spit its running on the same crappy fuel

[@sule.A]

​@@santiagoperez2094the spit has better fuel for example the spit mk2 has fuel that it got during the time of the 109f4 that made it faster then 109e3

[@giyutomioka7544]

I love flying out this plane in sim! Great choice!

[@acepreussen14preussichaddl88]

13:20 actually I suffered a really bad frame drop and high PING loss fighting fileoffish to make me wonder why my computer suddenly getting weird out of hand fighting this particular guy lmao

[@sholtzi2593]

The pro tip is running the Romanian 109G2 instead of the other ones if you have it, same BR in sim but with a sizable speed/climb boost

[@shane8511]

Love your vids budd, 3.7-4.7 is prob the most fun you can have in air sim. Miss flying my jets though due new repair costs. Also trailing behind smoking planes drops your frames. Been happening since the engine update.

[@jonascerny9499]

Love the intro! I hope to see more intros like this in the future. Keep up this kind of content. Thanks for your videos!

[@novahovekh9985]

What a wonderful fly . If just i get that precision using my mouse . That gonna be awesome

[@taumelscheibe5948]

probably my favourite plane in game. Also works nicely with MEC. Keep Prop pitch automatic but adjust the rads as needed, fully opened during climb and 10 to 20% during level flight. Just keep your hands away from the WEP that thing overheats pretty easily

[@jawn1568]

me over here trying to see myself crashing and dying a horrible death on the kill feed

[@Spicysauced]

The 109s are what I started my sim career in in 2013/14. Always had a weak spot for them.

[@gerdbauer5211]

WT Sim Vet here. Nice Vid, very entertaining and good flying. Hats off. Keep it up. Subbed

[@aarone-swing8519]

good work :) love the cutting

[@sird4vy501]

Even though this game is quite good, the F4 in Il-2 just hits different.

[@TeaRexChannel]

I love it in IL2 as well, but my favourite in that game is the K-4 :D

[@admiralriptide6566]

Really cool intro. Loved it Side note: what are your trim settings for it I can’t find good ones

[@TeaRexChannel]

This may surprise you but I barely trim it. Sometimes the elevator when I'm climbing but that's it!

[@admiralriptide6566]

@@TeaRexChannel ok thanks

[@2bparistol8]

[@gyuzi1161]

I love the game play congrats to you. Hope you keep up the video's and the good work.

[@stefan_cgn_363]

As always, awesome footage! I love ur videos. How do you record War Thunder in VR without the two screens? I can't get it.

[@brindevie22]

I am fan of the F2, idk why but my kd in sim with it is so good, loving it

[@orbiter277]

This is one of my favorite planes in RB, should be great in sim as well

[@mr22jk2]

The intro was fire 🔥🔥🔥

[@sinatraaaaaaa]

But I want to see a half hour of you just flying an aircraft

[@TheJere213]

F4 is my favourite plane but I can't really fight against many of the allied planes. spitfires are especially hard for me

[@shane8511]

With any German plane, climb, climb, climb. Also you can dive faster and sustain higher dive speeds.

[@TheJere213]

Yeah I know that but generally when engaging enemies(in sim) you tend to get tangled up with lower enemies and then get jumped by new enemies. Even at same altitude spits tend to win no matter what I do

[@shane8511]

@@TheJere213 Spawn at the airfields at the back of the map, gives you more time to climb. If you dont have any advantages over a spitfire chances are youre gonna die. Mind you I never run into a hole lot of good spitfire pilots, mainly because it takes awhile to mess with the settings because its so janky. Also go for the highest target you see not the lowest, with in reason of course.

[@ghosty5875]

man you are the best

[@HilaryGillesHMG]

I just flew out for first time had a very fun dogfight with an F4U but I had to desperately escape because the camera I was using for track IR fell off my monitor midfight still a joy to fly though

[@virus__loading9280]

Please do a video on how to play Sim I tried it and I can't get into combat without getting into a flatspin when turning

[@TeaRexChannel]

What aircraft are you trying to fly?

[@genuinsanity]

F-4 is my favorite 109 variant for its Superb speed retention...when flown correctly to it-s strengths ...very hard to hit !

[@panzerkampfwagenvitigeraus344]

He has more kills in sim than I have in Realistic...

[@vauxcorsa]

i have more kills in sim then rb too lol

[@henryklee680]

Man I can only play AirSim with jets. Flying with props is always the same, an endless turnfight.

[@domnlorenzcruz8627]

Ngl best tourney plane

[@Combat-Wombat]

All the planes are sooooo nicely visible, even at distance. Meanwhile i have trouble even tracking already spotted targets not to mention finding them. Am I missing something here or is it just another VR advantage?

[@gaelan2k9]

Could be your post fx settings

[@Combat-Wombat]

@@gaelan2k9 holy sh*t YES, thank You

[@gaelan2k9]

@@Combat-Wombat I'm constantly adjusting mine to see especially since I'm on console

[@TeaRexChannel]

Its a combination of PostFX and VR. The game renders shadows a bit weird in VR so some "dots" appear really far out

[@MegaHoChiMin]

Great plane I just hate the fact I cant see out the back, which has led to many deaths

[@ГеоргиХаризанов-б7в]

But the G-2 is also at 4.0 and is so much better in every way except for having slightly worse visibility. I don't understand why people prefer the F-4 over it. The F-4 used to have much better visibility and sit at 3.7, but ever since it got nerfed, I don't see any point in picking it over the G-2. Edit: The F-4 doesn't have 20mm gun pods, it gets 15mm. The G-2 gets 20mm pods

[@TeaRexChannel]

Ay yes, 15mm gunpods. Note to self: don't do audio for video at midnight

[@Odibio.Skins.]

i agree

[@Allwin-lz6yj]

f4 is lighter and more manoeuvrable and I think its faster at low altitude not sure

[@sule.A]

@@Allwin-lz6yj yes low altitude speed

[@sule.A]

In sim it is low altitude fighting so f4 is better suited

[@marcocapecchi6510]

nice intro

Damn this looks SO damn fun... I wish I had VR and a joystick 😭😭😭

the dislike is the person you killed in the intro

[@Siiv8sisiciisssiei-nt47w7d7]

I managed to kill 78 enemy aircraft in the aerial simulation, 64 of which were using the bf109f4

[@charliec8434]

How do you counter the 0 rear visibility of the F4 due to the useless armor plating?

[@nicness8882]

is the 20 mil useful? or just the 7.7s

[@weezurd646]

The 20 mil is very useful, it's what makes the enemy break or set afire most of the time

[@akaklixs239]

The 20mm mine rounds are arguable the best cannon in the game. Most of the time, 1 to 4 rounds will decimate a enemy plane.

[@TeaRexChannel]

Very useful

[@allenliu8820]

not going to lie flying in sim is really hard without vr bc u cant look behind u to keep track of targets while u are trying to turn

You can get some good head trackers on a small budget, which will allow you to look around!
