  • War Thunder is funny. Of all the VR flight simulators and mil sims I've played, it's War Thunder, a free to play game, that is the most fun. Because it has regular gameplay, but in VR just for the look. No motion controls needed. And the War Thunder community that pushed this game on me... thank you! If they never added virtual reality I probably never would have been recommended this, and that's scary. Because I really like this game.

    I have gotten pretty fed up with the ground combat. But the air combat, in VR, with a joystick, in realistic mode, is absolutely amazing. I definitely get shot down about ten times for every time I shoot someone else down. But honestly that just makes it more exciting when I do manage to shoot someone down.

      @@gorganfredman5363 I have not tried it. I would like to, but I lack confidence in my ability to avoid committing friendly fire. I'm not sure my headset resolution is high enough for me to confidently identify what type of aircraft I'm looking at from several kilometers away. And even if it was I've had too many bad experiences with ground sim to be confident that I could avoid friendly fire even with perfect target identification (I would, playing as the Germans, shoot at a Sherman, only to find out that it was an Italian Sherman, not an American Sherman (seriously, Italian ground sim players, stop using American vehicles!)). Real organized militaries take measures to minimize friendly fire instances, even when the opposing side is using the same or similar equipment (you are moving in formation with your own platoon, you have been briefed on what neighboring units are doing, and you have been given rules of engagement that dictate how hard you should try to identify your target before you can engage it). But it is impossible to take those measures in multiplayer games, because players just aren't that organized, and if you tried to impose that level of organization on them it would be difficult to casually enjoy the game.

    I highly HIGHLY recommend trying air simulator battles with VR. IMO, that's really the main use for VR in War Thunder and it feels super cool. VR is a massive liability in every other game mode, but in air sim everyone is locked to cockpit view so you're actually at a decent advantage against those that aren't also using VR or trackIR.

      War Thunder is absolutely a game you can lose thousands of hours to, partly out of necessity because of the free-to-play grind lol. Having said that though, if you're interested in things like WW2 tanks and planes, jet combat later on etc, then there's genuinely nothing else out there that quite does what War Thunder does.

    @barnykirashi 11 місяців тому +9

    For you, the fact you came for the VR experience helped a lot to enjoy the game as much as you did.
    Most people who come to play War Thunder join in for the Top Tier Jets. The Top Gun fans come for the F-14 Tomcats, and there are also the people who just in general come for the MiG-29, F-16, Panavia Tor.....Nobody fucking cares about the Panavia Tornado, what's wrong with me?
    They get in the game, only to realise this game starts with Interwar Era Biplanes and early Monoplanes, so they have to get through around 40 years of development, until they get the plane they signed up for.
    But you see, these people do not even know what a Bf-109 is, or probably know what a P-51 is, but doesn't know anything else about it. So they mindlessly grind towards the Funny Danger Zone plane.
    And that's when the 60 dollar premium packs come in. Or DLCs on Steam, but everyone with a brain buys them on the Gaijin store, where they are cheaper, but that doesn't matter.
    A Player who casually grinds the game, and moves towards their goal, while enjoying each tier of aircraft or any vehicle for that matter will not buy a Premium Pack, unless said Premium has any personal significance for the player, case in point I bought the Premium A-10 (when it was on sale) because I don't plan on ever grinding that far in the US Tech Tree, If I want a Phantom, my two main nations, Germany and Great Britain both feature F-4 Phantoms (And the Phantom FG.1 with the Rolls Royce Spey engines is my absolute favorite Phantom anyway)
    I don't like the F-16, I prefer the F-2 Viper Zero, which may come to the Japanese Tree sometimes anyway.
    But people who don't appreciate the Props, and are impatient will be punished by their own selves.
    Most of the time Premium Planes aren't better than their Tech Tree counterparts.
    What they are good at is grinding research points and silver lions.
    Case in point Prinz Eugen is the most common ship you can face in War Thunder.
    This is for 2 reasons:
    -Prinz Eugen is the most popular Azur Lane waifu, and the weebs are coming and they won't stop coming
    -She's an incredible SL Grinder, so most people grind out half a tech tree with other vehicles, then spam Prinz Eugen to actually buy all the vehicles in the tech tree. These players suck at Naval in general, and don't play any other ship in Naval either.
    One more thing I want to add.
    If it wasn't obvious, almost every single Premium Pack Plane has a Tech Tree Variant which you can get absolutely free. (Except the A-6 TRAM and the Westlend Wyvern), and the Tech Tree counterparts are not worse than the premiums.

I'm not very interested in VR, and yet Habie has managed to keep me hooked since the first video I've seen from him. He doesn't talk about boring, arbitrary increases in performances in VR tech, he just shows it to us through the use of entertaining gameplay. His sense of humour and engaging personality are probably my favourite things about him. Thank you, Habie, for entertaining me for over a year.

Learn your tanks armor and how to angle your tank (angling your armor so it’s thicker). Also learn how good your gun is at armor penetration. It’s not the best advice but it’s some of the basics

    One of the reasons you're having trouble with tank and ship gameplay is that unlike fighter aircraft, they're inherently multi-crew teams for each vehicle. One guy wasn't in charge of driving, loading, shooting, and commanding like in most games. I don't find it too bad (except for the cancer that is top tier), but I also have a lot of hours in the game, and playing it in VR might make things more difficult.

    You should try playing the realistic mode where you have only 1 LIFE per match, so if you die no backups even just go to another match. But planes behave like actual planes while still not being too punishing like "oh you turned 1 millisecond too hard too early now your plane in a flat spin and you are doomed" but the more realistic feels of the plane is really great, and also more realistic damage models and strict rules like no mid air reloads for your guns, make it harder but also more interesting, try it out new time you play and also grinding goes much faster in realistic mode than in arcade.

    I think the reason War Thunder is so high quality was that it was made, at least in the beginning, by people with a real passion for the subject of air combat. As it expanded, the business model changed, but even then that only seriously affected top tier (and naval, but nobody plays naval). All the systems that make the game great are still there, and if you're willing to sit down, find a tutorial on how to dogfight, and really put in some practice, it's an amazing game.
