@Andy_M.S.c underrated comment right here. There is a specific reason I use yards, which is because I play Naval. In Naval mode, we often engage at 8-14km. If you were to measure in meters, then you'd see something like 8.14km distance to target. Instead of saying 8140m, it chops off the single digits place. With yards, since there is no such thing a a kiloyard... it never gets converted. Instead of 8.14km, you'd see 8902 yards EXACTLY. This means when you're trying to discern if an enemy is getting closer or further away, and the rate at which it is occuring (something that I'd CONSTANTLY happening in Naval)... you can do it 10x faster by keeping the single digits place. This means every single shot you fire can be more accurately aimed 10x faster, and adjusted 10x on the fly... by making one simple menu change! It's not as useful in Air Sim, but I don't really use those distance measurements other than close formation flying... in which case, at those ranges always, 1 yard is basically 1 meter. I'm too lazy to flip it back and forth. If I could get an air Sim distance measurement, I'd choose nautical miles.
curious why you rock the rudder back and forth you we're, i come from dcs and real world piloting and just seems like you're wasting plane energy. also a tip for formation flying in case you aren't aware use your rudder for lateral movement rather than ailerons, that's the secret sauce. outstanding emergency landing though!
Learn air combat manouevres and their purpose. You'll start to pick up the strengths of the planes as you play more so you know which manouevres to use in response to different planes. Climb at the beginning of the match in any gamemode except for arcade. It's not an easy game to get good at, but "smurfs" is not the issue - your skill level is.
Yards as distance units is wild

@@WingalingDragon Man... Your so smart also your play style is so good. Super impressed!!!
@@WingalingDragon this is some high tier brainpower i'll tell you hwat
god dayum those are some beautiful callouts
Nothing better than having a few good people with decent comms working together for success!
Lawn mower extraordinaire ! Tight formation, how you didn't collide I don't know! Nice.
Wingalings Signature move 👍🏻 flying one ft over the trees
Awesome callouts and team work
great teamwork! I love it
ok that was pretty rad
By the gods. 🤘

Great tips!
I like to wiggle the damper back and forth to keep track of the friction point.
9:38 oh is this a thing now? can you land and leave the aircraft without counting as a death?
it counts as a death, he missed it.
@jal-kx6tm Yeah, it counted as a death.
i really want to get good at war thunder but i cant get anywhere at like 1.8 to 2 battle rating is js full of smurfs and its unplayable lmao
