War Thunder SIM - F104 J

[@razvy6949]

If you need to get 3 times more kills than deaths to not lose silver lions, it's not surprising almost nobody plays sim lmao

[@M0LOCK]

All thanks to glorified point and clicker(aka RB) that were zombering like crazy....

[@skolaskellofkells6195]

Its not hard to have 10-15 kills and 1 or 2 deaths at higher br

[@Bobspineable]

@@M0LOCKmost players want that, RB is easy to pick up by anyone and you earn a decent amount for the short amount of time you play. Sim may give more but most are not willing to play the long games, unless they add RB EC.

[@M0LOCK]

@@Bobspineable Whats the difference in playing 3h in one game or 3h in 50 games....the only difference is in SBEC you respawn faster than sorting into another match....if you are willing only to zomber for half an hour shouldnt matter the game mode...i hope RBEC never comes so those zombers have to stay in that dreadful grind state,even if it means im only getting half the reward for actually playing the game....

[@patriktoth6258]

​@@BobspineableRB EC would come with heavy nerfs. Its a common problem in EC where people agreeing "PVE" and they don't fight at all. SB EC is nerfed for a reason. RB EC wouldn't be a good idea for Gaijin

[@Domsenik22]

The problem is there are just not enough players in SIM for Gaijin to care. And the players just cannot stand the grind so they exploit every method i cant rly blame them, but gaijin needs to do something about the tickets and map sizes. A nice and easy thing is to change the reward system so pvp is more lucrative.

[@tommyiseppi6276]

If in the future gaijin will update and making better the sim mode, so will enter more players in sim mode for sure

[@NLcoasterboy1]

Maybe if they add ec to RB none of the zombers would invade sim and we might also evade this problem altogether?

[@johnsledge3942]

It’s a catch 22. I’m sure more people would play if they actually cared more, but they don’t care because not enough people play it…

[@patriktoth6258]

​​@@NLcoasterboy1Zombers love EC. Doesn't matters if its RB or SB. Good players will destroy them in both modes. If i want easy money then i just pick the Mirage F1C-200 or the Mig23MLD with a full missile loadout. RB EC is just a brainrot solution. Wouldn't be profitable for gaijin

[@jedinight235]

Actually PVP is relatively lucrative. Atleast in RP. Seems like for RP, you go for kills, and SL you go for bases.

[@johnsledge3942]

That’s why I usually play 5.0BR and below when I do sim, anything above is just too expensive and kinda stressful.

[@patriktoth6258]

Its not that bad now. However i play between 9.7-11.7 most and these zoombers are my favourites. Basically target practice

[@CptToastman]

Roger.

[@pandoranbias1622]

I cannot imagine playing sim in something like a MiG-21F-13

[@cleverlaziness]

why? i used it to grind the russian tech tree

[@pandoranbias1622]

@@cleverlaziness It got a major ammo nerf and takes more than just a few rounds to get a crit.

[@DefiledLord]

Now imagine the mig 19s

[@skyraider06200]

What would be good is if in low and mid tier SB battles it was the axis against the allies, like before. It's become nonsense for 2 years

[@milesromanus7041]

Yes! Now it's axis+urss & china vs allies

[@cleverlaziness]

sim rewards used to be insanely better. i have a screenshot where i was rewarded 200k rp for a really good game with the japanese sabre. rewards got nerfed once ppl began exploiting the reward system by afk farming and such. now sim doesnt feel as rewarding for ppl who actually try and fight like me ;-;

[@Bobspineable]

RB is the game mode for grinding now, if anything they might just turn sim into a mode where there’s no rewards and you play because you like sim.

[@patriktoth6258]

​@@BobspineableI play in sim most of the times (US,USSR,Germany,France). And i can tell you its not worth fighting in SB since you get more rewards for activity+stay alive for long as you can. I'm lucky and can say i have what i wanted on those 4 TT's.

[@mockingbird0901]

Radar waves, huh? Didn't know that's what was causing the planes flying over my house to produce contrails 😛

[@CptToastman]

Yup :)

[@penumbra7279]

i'm surprised you didn't consider the T-2 considering it's probably the strongest plane at the 8.7-9.7 range

[@KomodoMeerkat]

Scorchio for the PVEers…… 😈

[@gabrielneves6602]

Man, the way to solve this is hilariously easy: deactivate damage to anything but ground skirmishes from rockets

[@cofro3284]

I think the issue is you get mission score, SL, and RP from each individual rocket hit instead of by the explosive mass like you do with bombs. Thus taking large rocket pods with smaller individual rockets produced better rewards.

[@CptToastman]

Yeah it's been broken for years.

[@mikendaba5050]

They are using Napalms to destroy bases, that's why the TNT equivalent is low.

[@patriktoth6258]

They are using rockets. Since with those you are faster and its more profitable when it comes to mission points

[@ardmore0017]

Gaijin broke radar in sim a while back, you can no longer lock onto a target unless you have radar missiles

[@CptToastman]

Is that right, thanks

[@TransportSupremo]

Going into zomber lobbies cleaning out the trash, so based 🙏

[@nanox4476]

i like to enter those "pve" matches and piss off people just for playing the game as intended

[@jedinight235]

That's just kinda a dick move. The small servers are just chilling bro.

[@crazedfeel5775]

Exactly, I do the same knowing pve matches are against the rules anyways.

[@joshuawh894]

Will you be doing a video on the new Virpil setup?

[@CptToastman]

I will eventually matey.

[@TheThanimal]

When you say spacebar circles? What are you referring to?

[@CptToastman]

I can imagine a zomber furiously pressing the spacebar to drop bombs on the circles. :)

[@Sebastian-dx1hd]

time ago 1h game with few kills and capture could give you near to 100k research point and tons of lions. Now seems like 1h playing sb gives you the same ammount as rb. Absolutely shame

[@torides.]

Can you make a Sim Controls Tutorial video?

[@dawae3080]

look up WIngaling Dragon he as a ton of stuff for air sim

[@CptToastman]

I have a tips playlist on the video card. There are some control vids in it. :)

[@voidex136]

I think people do it because grinding in this game is just awful

[@dawae3080]

guess what gaijin gave air sim a reward limiter because of these zombers and rocket spammers, you are capped at ~20 - 25k sl per 15 min and cannot make more (provided you dont have a booster activated). this reward limiter is only applied to gamemode gaijin percieves as PVE, and air sim is not PVE its PVPVE

[@patriktoth6258]

​@@dawae3080Its not a limiter. Its just shows what you received during that time frame. I remember getting 7k rp and 25k sl (no boosters) for chasing guys in the F8E. I was only close to them and i did nothing because they outrunned me.

[@Zulkrum]

sim mode people use wallhack and you cant proof....full broken

[@CptToastman]

wallhack, what is that?

[@ilando918]

well, you could juste fly over your blue circles and shoot down any enemy trying to get to them so you dont loose tickets. it's called playing the game
