"You'll find the vast majority of us are very open and friendly"... True, but my mind immediately went to the few SB players I know to be totally toxic and total dicks haha. Not naming names but you'll learn to recognize quickly if you play sim for any extended period haha. Good content. Hope it gets many many many views, cause more sim players who know what they're doing is always good. Totally agree with most of these! (only thing is I don't bother to trim fixate but that's just me) and having fun is so key especially after a grindy Op like Op Suffer. First thing I did after getting the F-11 wasn't to take it out (I actually still haven't)... I went and got into a Tempest Vickers and went Zero hunting with the 47mms. Put a huge grin on my face whenever it worked and no hard feelings when it didn't. (If you see me in a match and need help holler -- CML TigrisJK)

[@TeaRexChannel]

Haha, thank ye kind sir!

[@maxrpm2215]

I agree on all but one, flying at altitude like you said at around 1000m. I learnt some hard lessons about that more so getting jumped from below. One place you can't check easily is underneath. So my thing is fly super low at very high speed and you'll see ever plane and be able to sneak up on there 6 from below. If you miss time it head for the ground and repeat. I find that most can't fly in between trees and usually they hit the ground, not always but most. See you in the skys MAXrpm.

[@JohannKwan]

Situational awareness is key, sure, but if something is below me it's cause I intentionally made it that way. Flying low even fast gets you killed, unless your "high" target isn't all that high. That said certain planes do perform better low and fast.

[@TeaRexChannel]

Ah yes, perhaps I explained it poorly in the video. I only use 1000m for trim settings, usually I fly a lot higher - between 3000 and 5000 meters depending on my aircraft.

[@Birdy890]

Totally depends on the plane though, right? I wouldn't recommend what you're saying to do in a P-47 for instance, since that thing is terrible down low, has trouble climbing AND it's greatest asset is it's ability to dive away from any baddies trying to kill you.

[@maxrpm2215]

@@Birdy890 Yep i agree the plane is critical. What i find when your low and the attacker is following there's a very high probability that his so focused on you that he slams into the ground.

Good grief! Didn't know about the trim settings. Very new to the game, had about a dozen Sim battles and gave up Sims. First 2 games I didn't even know i had to start the engine - yea too eager to jump in and play something. So true about the awareness part, I mostly died to "phantom" enemies. Neve knew where they came from. Good tips.

[@Aaaagrapefruit-l7l]

in my experience the easiest plane to first fly in sim was the corsair, specifically the f4u-7. every other plane i would pull to hard and flat spin while the corsair just accepts the 8g im tugging it around with

[@molstad182]

Fw190-A4 was a really easy starter plane for me because it could do those maneuvers easily due to its energy retention and the 4 20s allowed you to make no more than 2 passes on an enemy if done right

[@braedynhoward3644]

Yeah I was able to do ver well in the corsair compared to other planes. Although the spit turns nicely and often wins me engagements.

[@ahahm3]

I think heavier fighters in general are more forgiving, I mostly fly the P 47 in sim because it never flat spins for me

[@deremjool8043]

​@@braedynhoward3644Yeah, spitfires good, but with just raw input, it feels like it's on ice skates. I configure my pitch controls so I can pull up all the way with no trouble, but even then, it's still a little squirrelly.

[@angelz1585]

@TeaRex I have noticed for your gun convergence you have "Vertical Targeting" enabled. I have heard that having it enabled doesn't effect the convergence of where the shells will "come together" as you might say. I have been told when it is enabled it effects the Y-Axis of the guns. So in this case your guns are set to fire 300 metres above the wing. Now the shells do in fact come together at some point in time, just is. But having "Vertical Targeting" enabled it might help with getting shots on target for when trying to get a deflection shot. But when you ever manage to sneak up on someone from behind the shells could go over the enemy's wings just giving away your position. So having it turned off will give you the option to set the distance in which the bullets "come together". So, In my opinion having Vertical Targeting off will improve your performance because you don't have to correlate the Y-Axis when shooting, where otherwise you can just fire the rounds and watch the pretty flame erupt. But, also it is up to the pilot to set the distance in which the shells "come together" cause to them they might like staying farther back and getting the kill, while others might enjoy roasting marshmallows when downing the enemy. But, otherwise great video and great advice!

[@TeaRexChannel]

Ah yes you are indeed correct. I change between vertical targeting depending on what aircraft I fly as I have noticed the issues with shells flying "over" their target!

[@elementalgolem5498]

@@TeaRexChannel the biggest issue with vertical targeting, atleast in aracde and RB, more so JET sim not prop is if you're sideways, it still "Vertical Targets" but now instead of offstetting bullet drop it just makes the show shoot to the side and down with the bullet drop, (90 degrees bank to the left, it shoots further left and down, 90 degree bank to the right is likewise further to the right and down of the target, upside down and suddenly the vertical targetting is ADDING to the bullet drop) so it creates another factor of compensation unless you're perfectly level. and talking about jet, higher tier jets, ESPECIALLY RADAR means fly LOW or ORBITAL not "High" or Medium altitude. you do NOT want to make yourself a easy radar target edit: okay i just noticed its a 3 year old video my apologies xD, vertical targeting part is still true though!

This video was very helpful. My only issue with sim VR is I feel like the frames get choppy. Even at 90fps the lines are not right and zig zaggy. Haven't figured that out yet

[@BearfootBob]

I get noticeable frame-time spikes in War Thunder on a plain old 60hz monitor even when my system is reporting 180fps, and the dip only falls to 120fps. You'd think that wouldn't cause a lag, but if the GPU runs out of VRAM, it will go to system memory, and I think that's where the lag happens? What fixed it for me was not running a browser/video while playing, and reducing graphics settings. If you see your GPU going to 90-100% VRAM during play, maybe it's the same issue. I ignore FPS in War Thunder, and just go by feel.

[@TheAngelobarker]

0:36 macchi would like a word

[@mctex51]

So, I'm new to WT (lvl 10) and new to EC, playing on an Xbox 1, and I can't find answers to 2 aspects you've discussed. 1) If you're flying a bomber, on your way back RTB, and the game ends, do you still get the rest of the withheld points you earned earlier with your bombing (even though you don't get a chance to land)? and B) I've returned safely to base with one aircraft, waited through the repair, refuel & rearm period, then left that aircraft to take a different one, still be flying when the game ends, and still end up losing my security deposit (although I'm not sure on which aircraft). Is that normal now? BTW, great videos. Thanks for putting so much into them.

[@mctex51]

Edit: OK. After a few more EC sessions, I still don't have an answer for question 1, but for question B I think I understand that the security deposits work like the costs for individual aircraft to join an assault air arcade game, i.e. you pay your fee up front and never get it back. Then if you lose that aircraft, you've already paid for it; if you keep it the whole game, you don't get a refund; and if you get another aircraft, you get to pay another fee for that one. Also, I've noticed that you don't have to have an aircraft from the lowest BR in your lineup anymore - at least that's the way it's working for me. I think I may have just confused the rules for Spawn Points (with which I've never played) with Security Deposits (which is all I've ever known). Still, what do you think about both questions? Also, do you know where I might find a complete legend for the aircraft maps in EC (Like, what are the letters 'B' & 'C' for in the Port Moresby map - are those additional bombing targets, or ports to be captured somehow, or what)?

[@_Shogun_]

i use a mouse joystick and it should go up when i aim down but it always just goes down no matter what, i have to use shift and control to pull up and pull down

[@andrewmandrona7891]

Just one question: how do you know how to trim the rudder on the spitfires? (or how much rudder to use in turns). I can't find the slip/turn indicator

[@TeaRexChannel]

I trim mine based on how the plane "feels". Everyone will have a slightly different preference but my goal is to try and keep its roll as neutral as possible, if I can trim the pitch then its a bonus.

[@Rocklobster6285]

The slip skid indicator in british planes isn't a ball in a tube like the rest, it's a gauge with 2 arrows on it. The upper arrow is slip/skid, the lower arrow is turn rate. It works exactly the same as the other type (i.e. if the arrow points right, add right rudder to correct), so once you get used to it it's easy. As far as trimming goes, get into straight and level flight and trim the rudder when the slip/skid indicator is neutral, or slightly more if you need to counteract rolling tendencies since spits dont have aileron trim

[@Morfeusz1895]

Hi Rex. First of all, you’re doing great videos and they always fun to watch. Second i’m about to start playing sims with xbox pad, could you give few examples of planes easy to learn to fly in sims? (I have almost all prop and majority of jet planes). Best regards!

[@TeaRexChannel]

Hey hey! Thanks for the kind words :) Some good planes for beginners (at least for me and some friends when we were new) are as follows. Bf109 E series. P40E. Hurricane Mk1L. Bf110C. Yak2-Kabb. Any of the Yak3s. A6M2. There are honestly a lot more, but those ones tend to be pretty forgiving.

Trim steps as recommended by video: 1. Get aircraft off the ground. * sounds of crashing and spinning on runway * 2. Fly to average operating altitude * Sounds of still burning on the runway * 3. Once happy with trim settings, save the settings to the particular aircraft you are currently flying. * Sounds of mourning from family at my funeral *

Trex, ik this is late but how can I check surroundings and look around easier? I’m on Xbox and don’t have VR and I only have a flight stick so I can’t look around all the time. Any tips?

[@Warplanes_simplified]

Hello I have a question I am planning on purchasing the f5c to play simulator battles to grind the tech tree however he does not want to play sim what can I say also the f5c does not have radar how can i compensate for that

[@gamer-jm6my]

how do you make the lines go away when you spawn in do i have to have a flight stick or something because if i could make them go away i would learn sim. its two half cercles and a dot in the center i guess its supposed to help you know if your levle but its so annoyibg brings me right out what would be a beutiful experiance

[@thetnsm3319]

Awesome channel, thanks.

Don't yoz know how to chat when i have joystixk pluged in? I cant even find it in controls

[@coleanderson8035]

Yknow what the most fun thing to do is? To take out mini based with a swordfish and to actually kill a boat in one

[@billrobert3226]

idk I've flown over 100 battles, I don't think i want to continue without head tracking and/or a joystick. mnk isn't cutting it. does anyone feel the same?

[@cldus7442]

How do you keep your guns so stable? Also, what is the proper way to use your throttle when in dogfights?

[@ApokalyptikNM]

I love Sim but the one thing thats tough is seeing enemy planes.. I always check my surroundings, I could be 3km away from someone and I can't see them.. any ways to make that slightly easier and I am on a 60 inch TV.. when I play RB I can spot players from 10-14km away without the name popping up.. although for those planes I have expert crew.. does crew also effect sim..

[@1ochotnik]

I think crew skills do indeed affect spotting distance in Sim. Lowering the resolution used to help tremendously, as the distant "dots" on the horizon were way bigger

[@xscummx9130]

I know this is old but you did you get your FOV that far back???? Mine is so close to the front I can’t see anything side to side

[@kommissarlive9773]

The only problem I have, is aiming. I can't really hit other planes bc my flying skills suck. Although, I can land perfectly.

[@TeaRexChannel]

Aiming is definitely one of the trickier aspects. If you fly with a stick I suggest having a look at sensitivity, non-linearity in your control settings.

[@reggiekoestoer1511]

Me too, I can maneuver to grab the enemy's six no problem, and then its Imperial Stormtrooper marksmanship time

[@ItsATrap614]

Just keep practicing. Gunnery is arguably one of the hardest skills to obtain and can take years to master. I've been flying various combat sims for around 20 years but still struggle from time to time.

[@ItsATrap614]

@@reggiekoestoer1511 try to shoot while not putting a load on the aircraft i.e. pulling the stick. Trim your aircraft to be stable and try to make smooth, calm inputs. It also helps to get really close, I generally set my guns between 150-250 meters, less on some planes. Try to get so close that the enemy plane fills up your entire crosshair, then fire a single, well aimed burst. This will conserve ammo and increase the probability of a killing blow.

[@reggiekoestoer1511]

@@ItsATrap614 oh thanks, that's a really useful tip, gonna try unloading when shooting! You're right about getting up close too. I've read and watched interviews of former Japanese Zero pilots and they recommend the same (shoot only when you're so close you definitely can't miss). That's the only way I can get kills since my aim >300m is piss poor haha

[@MarkR-wc2el]

Why i still cant play sim battled it automatically removed me or ut will says crew is not ready

[@ricardofranganit0]

what joystick do u use? i find the "mouse joystick" setting to be very hard to use

[@ccclll987]

I started to play sim recently. Less than I would like to, because you cannot complete battle pass challenges in sim... I'm playing jets because they Re easier, usually the US because you get easy access to missiles.

[@TeaRexChannel]

Its a shame you can't to battle pass in Sim. I understand why they have not included sim but it still sucks. How are you finding it compared to AB/RB ?

[@ccclll987]

@@TeaRexChannel why didn't they include it? I have no idea Anyway, Sim is really fun and with missiles not even that hard. I usually go in with f3d as first spawn, then the cougar and then the phantom. Yesterday I got 6 kills in a row with the phantom, aim7 seem to work much better in Sim than they do in air rb

[@ccclll987]

@@TeaRexChannel today I got repeatedly clubbed instead :(

[@TeaRexChannel]

Some days you will get clubbed a lot, especially if you are new to sim gameplay. Just keep at it, learn from it and enjoy yourself :)

[@ccclll987]

@@TeaRexChannel I played again and tonight it was mixed. In a game I got clubbed at first, then I got several kills with my phantom. Sim is very fun anyway, I m really liking it. I m sorry helis cannot be used because they would really be great and add variety. And, I tried to use the ballistic computer on the phantom but it doesn't seem to be working

[@captainkapalot9644]

Does autotrim work in sim? I have it on and my plane always slides off to the left

[@That-guy-who-climbs]

Question What control system should I use Like is mouse and keyboard best or is controller best And if mouse and keyboard then how do I configure it Please let me know

[@agniusbaltaitis5615]

How to fight mig15s with f9f? Mig15 always has speed and turn advantage, and also, how to fly f4 in sim, its swinging a lot.. specifically more jet sim info pls

[@ScaleMilitaryModels]

Do you have to hold down the throttle? For me on Xbox I have to constantly keep my finger on the throttle

[@TeaRexChannel]

My throttle is a button, I hold the button to increase or decrease the throttle but I dont need to hold it :)

[@matheusgclassen]

Go into your settings and enable the "relative control" option

[@penthyn]

Tip 1 is only for joystick players. Tip 2 and 3 OK Tip 4 is true but fro many players, including me, it's harder to find enemies from above so I would rather suggest to maintain energy. Tip 5 -9 OK Tip 10 misses one important part. Don't kill players on their AF. But yeah, quite good video.
