War Thunder

Sex with potato salad, sex with mannequin, I hope you realize these are references that nobody else can relate to. I knew WT players were disgusting but damn.

GIGGITY, GIGGITY, !

the joystick setup in wt sucks wind. the latest change in the way they match people up for battles is worse than trying to furball with a d3a1. the flight models are hit and miss...mostly miss.

Not neccessarily.. you still had to race a good race and not fall off the bike.. the money simply got you a machine that was faster.. better handling.. what have you.. lol I'm sure many remember this

I played the game. You're making a poor correlation. You're not good at those. Sorry, can't make it clearer than that.

Lol no doubt about it

my roommate downloaded it as I do not have the graphics card for it. I felt like the game was cheesy, arcady, and it just didn't seem realistic at all compared to AH and Microsoft flight simulator that I have played. Air combat maneuvers seemed like a joke, I didn't see any strategy for the game, and it's a pay to win. Within 20 minutes of playing I could tell this game was for novices new to flying airplanes and new to flight simulators.

AH definitely takes more skill to master, has a much better overall war concept idea with the big map, taking bases and towns to win, and a win war type atmosphere. If you are actually into flying and enjoy a game that takes practice, experience, and skill to learn how to play. I wouldn't even waste my time with WT

I thought WT sucked all the way around. Just my 2 cents.

[PJ_Godzilla]

Well, the consensus seems to be:
1. WT Sucks
2. Their arenas are pretty arcade-y
3. Their players suck
4. Their flight models suck

This makes me feel pretty good about my intuitive take on the game. I just felt like it was a hollow experience. You people have provided me with rationale.

On the up side, I didn't feel as guilty leaving it as I did the mannequins.

Tonight: more stick time in the beloved g-14. I may even take a 410 up.

One other thing: I seem to recall a frequent flier a couple of years back who, at least Saturday nights, always seemed to be audibly drunken and swearing. I'm happy to say, everyone was a paragon of reasonably acceptable behavior last night. The bar may be low, but it was easily cleared.

I wanted to like WT because I can actually find combat at the times I am able to play (striking difference to AH), and the graphics are gorgeous (again, a striking difference).

However, the flight model just felt terrible to me. Maybe if I had not played AH for years as my first flight sim, I would have been OK...

If drinking isn't making someone audibly *happy*, they should try another substance, probably one derived from leaves. That's just common sense.

I played with a/c I knew from here in AH but when I closed and fired from 300 to 0 FT with a KI61 on an A20 and I was shredded by his top computer controlled gun and he kept goin with one smoking engine that was its last straw with me.
Setting up a joystick was like trying to preform surgery in the dark you were doing something and you hoped it turned out right which it almost never did.

[PJ_Godzilla]

Actually, Vudu, setting up my joystick was my first clue as well. To fly the He51, which you'd think relatively easy, required several iterations. Why? Because the thing seemed incredibly sensitive to roll input. Thus, I turned the roll sensitivity DOWN from roughly the midpoint. Wrong answer... It needed to be turned up. Silly me, I took that metric as meaning a type of gain, stick to aileron.

As for the drunken unhappy player, that was exactly my beef. It's just so unseemly for him to be peeing in everyone else's cornflakes over a mismatch like that. I mean, immersion requires something other than a state called blotto. Why ruin everyone else's trip down history lane?

Yes this thread has ended

[Rich46yo]

WT did nothing for me. I found it "cheesy".

That's because it was never designed to be played with flight sim controllers. It was designed to be played on the pirated smartphones of high schoolers in China.
