War Thunder [SIM|VR] - Intense Practice Duels w/ @Gihrenzabi

[@reggiekoestoer1511]

o7 to you too. Your thumbnail is PERFECT (that's totally your everyday J2M3 and my everyday A6M5, avatars of ourselves). Thank you for this Masterclass training session, I am humbled. It was super fun! Some key learnings I got from this session: - Hayabusa vs Hayabusa: Whoever grabs the 1st turn wins. I can not shake you at all when you are on my six. - Hayate vs Hayate: I still have no clue how to beat you in the Hayate haha. - J2M3 vs A6M5: I've had a very similar fight in Alex's last tournament. BNZed for days. I hope I've learned from my mistakes. - I-153 vs Hayabusa: Yepp, this is the cure for the I-153. - J2M3 vs Spitfire Mk. IX: This is very dangerous. Even with "Discount Avetorro" on the wheels, it is still a strong performer. Thank you so much for our training and discussions. Let's train some more!

Thank you very much! - Hayabusa vs Hayabusa: I arrived at the exact same conclusion as you, I couldn't reverse the fight once you were behind me (good to know if we are to face Diomic and LoyalUKGamer) - Hayate vs Hayate: I made an extensive usage of combat flaps (you can use them til 470 kph) - J2M3 vs A6M5: Yeah I saw your fights against Poseidon. You were impossible to catch, I probably came down too fast (the J2 compresses a lot past 500-600 kph) but I feared not to have enough energy to zoom out properly... - I-153 vs Hayabusa: That one should be alright - J2M3 vs Spitfire Mk. IX: Yep, that one's tricky. It climbs very well, turns better than the J2 and can dive as well. Fortunately you'll be in a Zero, hopefully we'll be complementary :) Thanks to you for taking the time to train with me, and yeah, let's train some more!

- Hayabusa vs Hayabusa: true, they're both bringing the Hayabusa. That'll be very challenging. - J2M3 vs A6M5: I think its ok for you to just dive fast, if you compress and miss just reset straight up. It's more dangerous if you don't have enough speed for the climb.

[@Avetorro]

Nice flying chaps, interesting to see the different techniques involved with each aircraft.

[@ATC83]

Thanks man! Yeah those "arranged" duels are very different from fights in a normal EC game, where you can take the time to position yourself (or get surprised). Interesting.

[@reggiekoestoer1511]

33:36 that was me cosplaying as you (and your lovely Mk. IX). He literally said, "who's gonna be Avetorro?" :D

[@Avetorro]

@@ATC83 yes I came to the same conclusion very quickly. Who different approach needed!

[@Avetorro]

@@reggiekoestoer1511 haha you did me proud though. I rarely beat him in that J2! Which mkIX are you using?

[@reggiekoestoer1511]

@@Avetorro haha glad to know I did! It was the F Mk.IX..so I guess it is better for high-altitude work?

[@thefreestyler25.warthunder]

Respect! Great dogfights to watch and.....study 👀

[@ATC83]

Thanks man! I studied your fights with Avetorro as well... :)

[@Alexandros11]

Really awesome stuff, you two are a formidable duo!

[@ATC83]

Thanks man, appreciate it! Lots of good pilots in this tournament, it's gonna be hard!

[@maggotswag]

quick question, is your quality inside the VR the same as the one shown in the video? The quality of my oculus quest 2 sucks, wondering if people got similiar problems :( But nice video as always!

[@ATC83]

Thanks! No it's not the same quality, but not very far from it either. I bought a Reverb G2 a few months ago to replace an Oculus Rift S and the improvement was huge (I went from 1280x1440 per eye to 2160x2160 per eye)

[@maggotswag]

@@ATC83 I might do that aswell, thanks :]

[@aidenwilson929]

Is that vr??

[@ATC83]

Yep!
