War Thunder's Realism Mode is Painful in VR
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 чер 2024
- War Thunder has a realistic multiplayer mode and in VR it is very atmospheric. It's not a flight sim, it's a game, but it's real enough to get me and as a WWII history nerd flying these old planes in VR is very fun... but the gameplay is insane. Realism mode is like search and destroy in the sky. I've been playing it for weeks and it seemed like the perfect time to compile my thoughts since I've been away. Excited to be back home now though, in in the loving arms of my precious American Zero.

Wait till he figures out about simulator
Oh my god yea
was just going to say this
gonna have a brain smoother than a atomic particle
I would suggest him to play sim, it is really hard to compete with the cockpit view in realistic. I find it a lot less difficult to kill players in sim with VR.
Or try DCS especially with warbirds... hahaha
I find VR works a lot better in simulator battles because everyone is on similar footing. In realism most people use mouse aim and external view which gives a huge advantage to situation awareness and aiming ability.
imagine the sheer skill though if you do well despite the handicap
Not really external view sure not having to press a key to free look is terrible when on gamepad and VR you can just look,.
@@GreenBlueWalkthroughgamepad is not for skilled flying
@@Bikad I basically did this when first playing like 10 or so years ago... _I hAvE a StIcK wItH fFb, ThRoTtLe AnD pEdAlS, sO iMmA gOnNa UsE iT!_ It actually took me a while and actually not doing bad to then just switch over to good old KBnM, but somehow I ended up playing with a PS3 controller after that, using the gyro for aiming since I wasn't a fan of the constant "swipe the mouse into one direction, lift it up, move it back, put it down, repeat" thing for rate fighting. And then I dropped the game as it kept matching me with my 1929-1939 planes against 1944-1945 enemies, which actually is quite unfair. It's almost like sitting in a North Korean MiG-15 and suddenly having to fight against a bunch of _FAT AMYs!_
... simulator battle you cant use mouse aim lol
In Simulator Battles every player is forced into First Person, VR is an actual Advantage in that mode
Until you need to identify the enemy plane

@missa2855 is that a German or a Swedish 109 I see?
what are you talking about? @Tom_Darippa
@@Tom_Darippa heard a vr only game was coming
The words "Why am I *spinning*? *Where* is my wing?" Had me dying.
Hello, fellow dead person.
Same here. How his voice sounds! 🤣
Famous Last Words Of Wisdom.
in VR you will have massive advantage over other players if you will play simulator matchmaking, but you will need a flight stick instead of mouse
No, you don't, you can still 100% use your mouse and keyboard in Sim. It just turns the controls into what's called "mouse yoke"
In fact, when setup and done properly, it can actually be better than an actual stick in many situations. This game is 100% tailor-made for KBM, even in sim (and even if the default controls are fucking garbage, they are for AB/RB too, I have just about every single control/keybind remapped from the default).
Shouldn't a gamepad also work?
@@Kenionatusa gamepad joystick is very small, so it’s very hard to fly and sim accurately. You also have very limited buttons to use for keybinds
@@admiral_alman8671 You can at least reduce the botton problem by using button combinatinos, which a gamepad is very suited for. If you use L1 and R1 as modifiers (5 total states), you get 75 buttons and 30 axes on a PS4 controller. If you use L2 and R2 for light and full press instead of axes, you get 95 buttons and 20 axes. Maybe you could get more than two buttons out of the mouse pad with swipe controls as well.
I cannot escape War Thunder, no matter now I try
The Snail Won't Let You.
No-one escapes the snail. There is no out, only in.
Yep , 13 years now . Ha
2:31 HABIE NO DONT DO IT PLEASE QUIT WAR THUNDER WHILE YOURE AHEAD
NO, embrace the pain. stockholm syndrome is the best
PLEASE IT'S NOT WORTH IT PLEASE
War thunder is a very fun game that is easy to learn and enjoyable -someone
What do you mean? War Thunder is a fantastic game with no issues at all.
The snail has my family, please send help.
in all seriousness, guys
if you don't grind for high BR planes, you get awesome experience
join me in seal clubbing club
Use a flight stick if your gonna play in vr. Don't torture yourself with mouse controls
Absolutely this. BTW WarThunder in Sim Battle mode pretty much is like the original Il-2 Sturmovik (FB, AEP, PF, 1946) stuff and also supports Force Feedback IIRC. Having a Sidewinder ForceFeedback 2 still can give you quite an edge.
Oh yeah no most definitely. Mouse joystick is the worst thing one could ever do to themselves, and I don’t even want to know how it must be in VR
@@lordhickory3322it would be very silly to own a VR headset but not a joystick
@@admiral_alman8671 indeed
Simulator mode, by the way, restricts every player to cockpit view, so you don't have to deal with players in third person with better situational awareness. The flip side is that mouse control in SB is relative control, so the game doesn't fly for you the way it does in RB.
If you like war thunder in VR I would recommend looking into IL2: Battle of Stalingrad and it's DLC's, they're on sale right now and they offer a pretty cool VR experience with some more customizable sim elements (Sort of an in-between of war thunder and DCS)
Almost all multiplayer servers have max realism settings, and I don't think this man could IFF anything🤣
When the VR works that is... By far the worse VR set up of any flat game/sim I've tried... And most suck.
its*
@@GreenBlueWalkthrough That's not true at all, for me the VR setup was the easiest of any flight simulator, and it worked perfectly with no issues, what headset were you using?
@@GreenBlueWalkthrough Have you tried it in the last 2 or 3 years? Used to be terrible but it got quite a bit better
kamikaze in vr no balls
Hardcore History's the bomb! Check out Wrath of The Khans!
ben doesnt exist
Blueprint for Armageddon is of course the right answer
@the_fr33z33 that one was absolutely my favorite
Another war thunder addict in the making 😊
*chuckles in DCS*
:(
dcs is just digital heroin
people who play DCS for fun are the type of people your parents warned you about as a kid.
Same
🤓
@@sombrero4316 yep
It’s so cursed herring the someone refer to arcade as “normal mode”
Btw i do believe by "realism" you mean realistic battles, which while more realistic than arcade sim is far more realistic, glad your enjoying the game and love your content, would love to see you attempt sim gameplay
This man would love the IL-2 games both 1946 and the "Great battles" series. Those are the best ww2 flight sims.
Absolutely. Especially since Great Battles also runs in VR. AFAIK 1946 runs fine with VorpX as well, just never managed to try it myself.
I may or may not have 5000+ hours and possibly more dollars "invested" in WT
All of dan Carlin stuff is amazing. Blueprint to Armageddon was insane
ayo habie, just wanted to let you know, that ur the only youtuber I actually feel excited for dropping a new vid. Much love and keep up the amazing work.
Habie and Dan Carlin was not the intersection I was expecting, but I'm here for it.
1:31
Man wait till Habie finds out about dcs multiplayer
Love you Habie. Your content is amazing and I wait for your uploads every week. Have a nice day.
Always brings a smile to me when there is a new habie video love you man!
love the vids i watch every saturday keep it up
Just earned my sub! Great content!
It’s cool being here so fast :) great video habie, thanks for the gift this week
amazing last 30 seconds of the stream i really enjoyed it thank you
Cool to know you still play HLL too, I started playing after your video and still enjoy it!
I bought into IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad, and a couple DLC's (Bodenplotte) and I will say, it is my favorite sim for prop/WW2 planes.
I tried in DCS, though servers were sparse, & simulation quality was often shunted to the side for more popular and modern airframes, such as the viper.
IL-2 makes a blend of easy-to-use UI, controls, realistic simulation, customization (I have a photo of my cat in the cockpit of EVERY plane I own), customizable missions, and REALLY GOOD CAMPAIGNS.
Much recommend for VR!
Watching you makes me feel better about my skills in War Thunder
The most satisfying thing in war thunder is the red white font text when you get a target destroyed
Hi, very experienced WT player here that also enjoys playing it in VR, you should try the sim mode instead, it's even harder and slower paced but in realistic you're putting yourself at a massive disadvantage compared to the players just using mouse aim, up to you though !
Feel free to contact me if you want any kind of tips
Hey, could you clear up some things for me please? I really enjoy sim battles, and I've been contemplating getting a vr headset just so I can fly planes in it, but I wonder how it works for tanks/ground vehicles. I really enjoy my 4k screen and relying primarily on commander view to spot enemies, I've never used a vr headset before and am wondering how is the field of view compared to having a high resolution monitor and how hard or easy it is to spot enemies at long distances, again compared to a high resolution monitor. I have a friend who swears on relying on binoculars, but poor fella is stuck at 1080p, and binoculars imo is something you wanna use when needed cause nothing compares to the situational awareness that you get from commander view right from the top of the turret. I like flying planes but I am primarily a tanker, so if VR is a downgrade in that regard then it might not ve worth investing in one, at least for me.
VR War Thunder with joystick and throttle controls is probably one of the best gaming experiences, even with how much I struggled with the controls at first.
Habie! i love your stuff. to paraphrase what im about to say, i am also not good at warthunder, however i find that when i shoot at a plane i get better results shooting in 4 second bursts. it saves ammo and is what the US airforce taught pilots to do in ww2.
Supernova In The East is such a good series. I highly recommend Dan Carlin’s WW1 series Blueprint For Armageddon as well
The realistic battles and realism mode are my favorite
THIS is what vr was made for it was my whole dream growing up
Feels like I’ll always come back to this channel
and simulator is a whole different beast
Star wars squadrons has a similar vr mode and it's been really fun with my flightstick
Dive bombing with a vr headset on is probably one of the coolest things I've done in war thunder
hilarious message at 3:30, when i heard you talking I thought you were having a stroke!
My brother in law and I finally played a air arcade match tonight. He's a tank guy, but he has so much fun just dying trying to dog fight. Sent him your video just now.
this is the only way i will ever watch military sims
War thunder was the game who made me discover and want a VR headset. Funny thing is now that I have a VR headset for 7 years, I barely played War thunder. but I spent hours in IL2:Batlle of stalingrad and VTOL. Try flying with a joystick !
Literally same to all of this
I loved supernova in the East! Great podcast, highly recommend it
would love to see another video in simulator mode
I find it hilarious that whenever habie talks about him improving in HLL he always plays this one clip 2:25
This channel never misses. I've watched every single video consistently since somewhere around 30K subs and every video you upload is entertaining, well paced, and funny as hell. There's few channels that accomplish that for me.
I have struggled with my mental health lately, you…you have helped❤
When you feel low ... fly as high in the game as possible then Kamikaze head first and full pelt into the sweet soil below. Un-aliving in VR is the medicine.
Just wait until Habie learns about Simulator, where everyone is locked to cockpit view, and VR is legitemately a strat, really cool video though
Hey man your one of the main reasons I started my channel thank you so much man
Hi habie ready for this banger
NEW VIDEO LETS GOOOO! My man you inspired me to finally start my channel! Seeing how fast you’ve grown is so fucking inspiring! Thank you!
I remember watching this before catching the bus in the morning. Then one day it just stopped. Always wondered why
You should bind a key for setting your ailerons to min and max so that you dont have to do that thing were your turning ability is limited because you're constantly having to adjust your mouse position.
I'd love to see you come in and try naval
after i watch your video i forget you exsist until next saturday when youtube gives the good slop
habie please try simulator battles, you will absolutely love it
I always think the plane videos will be boring but their always the best
Funniest video i have seen in a good while, thanks
I was there for the stream! Ive asked for months and the war thunder content has returned!
The snail is love, the snail is life
Holy shit this man is putting me in debt if Habie plays a game it makes it looks ten times better
Habie is a man of taste listening to Hardcore History
You really should play IL-2 Sturmovik, it has a VR mode, it's incredibly realistic, it makes warthunder RB look like world of warplanes in comparison, and the planes are WAY more detailed than war thunder. I really recommend getting one of the flying circus DLCs, it's a WWI mode and imo it's the most fun mode.
Wellp. Habie in jets is going to be entertaining.
We need to get this man in a spacecraft
Try IL-2 in vr it is great. You can also choose what aids you want and you can turn on and off the GUI with 1 button so you can finely control how gamey you want it to feel
Idk what controls you got for VR or in general
but a big thing that helped me was switching throttle to scroll wheel (or any other alternative you may like) and binding WASDQE to plane controls
Again in VR not gonna have the same advantages, but being able to look behind you and not have to use the mouse to steer at all helps a shit ton, and the plane will pull harder if you use a key instead of the mouse
Another thing is to tap fire, don't just spurt your load in one big fuck you, it only takes one good shot to kill a dude so take your time and tap tap at a dude instead of just holding left click (Unless you've got like 4000 rounds of 50.cal then go ham)
Lastly, if you are on fire just turn off your engines and dive, I haven't noticed a huge difference but apparently it helps to put out fires
I'm so glad Can You Feel My Heart became a meme cuz I get excited every time I hear it
No one cleans the floor with a mop like habie. Get that floor dude
You should try Steel Crew
You should check out IL2 Great Battles in VR. It has great offline missions that would be more effective for learning
Dan Carlin?
War thunder?
Habie?!
Hell yes!
I remember this stream, some guy stream sniped you and everyone in chat cheered to the hero
The gunsights used to break back in the day when warthunder came out and earlier versions. In sim battles you did need to use those iron sights sometimes! I know i did
Wait, so they can't break now? They removed it?
the jump from air arcade to realistic is one thing but air simulator battles are something else entirely.
I think you should really try Arma Reforger it'll be a frustrating start but once you get past controls mechanics and the crashing (which is normal) its the most entertaining and fun milsim
If he calls arcade regular mode one more time I will commit leaving vehicle
1:32 wait till he tries to get a pilots license and does this for 2500 hours
Can't wait to see you play the new Sam & Max VR game!
Found out I apparently was playin with you today, just bout made my evening. And if you’re reading this, I’d be more than happy to teach ya how to fly proper American planes and some tricks I learned
Hey habbie, I know you’re probably not gonna see this but I just wanna say that I’ve always loved your videos and I’ve been here since 1,000 subscribers. It’d be great to play with you one day, love from Scotland 🏴
I’ve been stuck trying to run from the snail for 5 years there is no escape
Sim is lookin tasty
I rarely ever comment on stuff but please more Bootstrap Island, I live my VR experiences vicariously through you
Once you start there is no stopping
Dan Carlin is absolutely goated, hell yeah
crazy how habie went from making VR videos to playing Contractors IRL in North Carolina, guess the power of a 724K sub YT channel does go to your head after a while
(luv u habie)
Wait, wut? He's in NC? How do you know?
@@Elmojomo his discord alert for this vid
Honestly, flying like that in VR is kinda hell. I don't blame you for missing anything. I would actually recommend checking out simulator though.
God Dan carlens Hardcore History podcast is literally my favorite ever
Habie! One thing about war thunder that I learned, is that it's better with friends. Don't worry about being good at war thunder, that will come with time and practice and cannot be forced as there is so much to learn. If you're having fun with war thunder, and not particularly doing "good," you're doing it right.
super nova in the east is a banger
you should play paint the town red vr
We loveeeeeeeeeee side climbing
try sim in vr i love it
If you like this game try out VTOL VR, it’s a first person fighter jet game where you can fly an F22 and F35. It has so many machines and tactics. I would highly recommend it!
VR in air rb is probably one of the largest self handicaps I've ever seen anyone give themselves. If you're gonna try sim get a jopystick I honestly dont know how you dont get motion sick using mouse and keyboard in vr. (retired 4k hrs player btw I freed myself of this curse)
