War Thunder Sim, Enduring Confrontation Guide #1 - The Basics

Hey Everyone,
This video is designed to introduce new players to the basic concept of how simulator battles work, particularly Enduring Confrontation. I cover the details of how EC battles work, their spawn mechanics, and what pilots need to do in order to be successful in achieving victory.
This video does not cover things like flight mechanics, dogfighting and combat tactics. I will be uploading dedicated videos for those topics. This video is designed as a pure introduction to the Sim game modes themselves, as they can be rather confusing if you have not played them before.
I hope this video helps, especially for any new players to simulator battles. Feel free to comment with any questions or suggestions below!

If after landing, your plane is done with repairs, reloading you can press the J button to J out and go into a different plane. If you J out prior to the completion of repairs and refueling, rearming, you will be charged. So it is best to wait until all that is done then J out and switch planes.

Why there is no realistic enduring confrontation is beyond me 🤔

[@TaikaviittaX]

Maybe because Gaijin wants more players to sim.

[@sauronthedarklordofmordor2990]

I just had an eternal problem today, it was the first time I played Simulator and I did not know that a minimum BR aircraft was needed for the specific session and I did not put any aircraft like that, just put high BR aircraft for example in the session Sicily (1.0-2.0) I only put 1.7 planes and not 1.0 reserve planes and now when I enter that session I cannot play, because all planes need spawn points that can only be obtained with a low BR plane that I do not place, and it is only allowed to play with the first arrangement of vehicles that entered that specific session, which in my case, is useless for not putting a damn low BR plane... I really doubt the need for that system so complex.

The spawn system definitely needs some sort of rework, I agree.

Nice vids. Would've expected more subscribers. Any idea what the base health is in in the [5] and [6] EC SIM matches? Is it the usual "just over 3000lbs" to destroy one like in RB?

[@TeaRexChannel]

I'm honestly not sure I am afraid. But I think I can take about 2/3 off a base in EC6 with 4x1000lb bombs that come with the Meteor F8

[@pilotpug]

@@TeaRexChannel thx, so should consider at least 6000lbs. I fly F89's in sim EC and about half the time I hunt bases as they are good XP and there isn't always good air combat. Also good for winning the match and getting the win bonus. Anyways, I've noticed that even with landing all my rockets on target I get between 55% and 80% (give or take) on the same mission. Very definitely no rockets missed, I take my approaches very seriously and have a good eye on what I hit. Almost like the damage depends on how the base is hit. Btw, I got a few short sim video's in the F89 on my channel in case you want to see, just for fun of course!

[@TeaRexChannel]

@@pilotpug the F89 is a veeeeeeeery good base killer right now because of the rockets so I don't blame you for using it. It's a fun jet to use :p I'll be sure to check out your footage!!

@@TeaRexChannel When the F89D just came out I could get 3 bases in one load on Air RB with just the 104 FFARs. Frequently people don't believe me but I did it all the time. Then they nerfed it but it's still quite good. Especially seeing that in EC people often don't notice you.

[@TeaRexChannel]

Personally I found that M&K was easier than using a gamepad, but using a flight stick is easier than both.

[@TheJere213]

I used to play with controller and did just fine with it and later I bought the thrustmaster t16000m hotas and pedals and they work great and are not super expensive(bit over 200€ combined). Biggest issue I had while playing sim was that I found myself losing track of the enemy I was fighting with, so I also bought trackir 5 which was great purchase but not necessary if you are good at looking around without it. Now I have Oculus Rift as well and gotta say VR simming is a blast. It's also much easier to keep track of the enemies and your own position but the resolution is pretty bad so you need to get close to the enemy if you want to recognize it(vr glasses also tend to be costly so it's probably not possible for everyone to get them)

[@mattjmwmatt]

@@TheJere213 I also had the problem of loosing track of the enemy (have the 16000m), and i fixed it simply by using my left hand on the stick and look with the mouse.When aiming i simply change to my right. It's incredibly natural for me(im left handed btw) and i dont really feel the need for track IR as of now.

[@Nitrous_oxide_addict]

When I play simulator battles my plane automatically turns right and doesn't pull up

[@okinawagaijin9344]

A bit late. But if you play sim battles, the aircraft behaves more realistic than in RB or AB battles. The airplane pulling to the right is caused by Engine Torque. In order to take off, you need to constantly fight the engine torque by using your rudder. As for not pulling up, it should pull up once you're fast enough. If you mean it does not react to your input at all (elevators not moving), then it might be a control issue. Be advised that you can only play in mouse joystick mode or with a Hotas. The classic mouse aim mode is disabled for Sim battles.

[@frankerin8655]

Hi i have a bit of a problem... when i enter the battle i have 0 SP and i cant pick my plane. Does anyone know why is that

[@loganepling5094]

Do you have your flaps on, on takeoff? If you don't, when you take off usually the plane can't generate enough lift to fly normally and it'll always want to go nose down. In sim battles you have to turn them on at the start of every take off since nothing is done for you like in arcade or RB. Even with take off flaps engaged you still have to pull back on the joystick and hold it until you build up enough speed to turn you flaps off.

[@nicolaskielblock8296]

Anyone have a tip to make the plane more stable

[@TeaRexChannel]

Oh well that will sort of depend on a few factors - but in general make sure your controls are not over-sensitive and trim your aircraft when able to. Do you use a flight stick?

[@AngryVikingwGuitar]

2 months late, but go into your controls and try upping the linearity settings. It makes your inputs on a curve, so small movements of your joystick/mouse/whatever won't upset your plane as much. Also, be gentle on the controls, don't suddenly stab anything. At best it'll upset the hell out of your plane, some will immediately flat-spin like my beloved Ishak. If you're at neutral input and its pulling in one or more directions (usually pulls up and to the right), learn how to trim your aircraft mid-flight. Some planes can't trim so you have to set them up in test flight mode.

I’m having problems, I play Xbox and air sim, tank sim don’t come up for me. As well as world war mode. Every time I go into switch game modes they are never there. I downloaded war thunder on my friends ps4 and he gets all those things. Some one help

[@TeaRexChannel]

I believe Xbox does not get Sim :( at least last time I checked

[@alwayspointnorth]

Not yet at least

[@kenrivera54]

I can’t get past the tutorial the plane wants to always go right and I can’t take off at all I don’t know why the plane wants to go right all the time no matter what I do

[@budy859]

I had a game whare somebody had 203 kills in just over an hour. Does anybody know how that works

[@8100rpm]

all good and dandy but why don you show how WoVi camps the enemy airfield or just spawn camp 😂😂😂 got killed on the strip alot of times by them 👍

[@edde258]

Why do I spawn on the ground and can’t move?

[@TeaRexChannel]

When you say "cant move" do you mean you cant throttle up?

[@Shyning]

You first have to turn your engine on. If it's not bound, you need to bind it. I wonder how so many people don't know how to turn off/on their engines, it saves you from so many fires (not 100%, but it definitely helps); at the very least.

Why tf isn't this an Air RB game mode right now?

[@mrmophead1860]

What do u mean, that makes no sense

[@SPFLDAngler]

Too bad Operations are no longer an option, and it's not spawn points it's repair cost to spawn and not AB or RB repair cost but SIM REPAIR COST which is literally almost double RB cost!

jesus christ youve gotten so rich in wt since here
