So i'm definitively stuck on War Thunder now! Playing in arcade mode cuz I don't have a joystick but I ordered one and I should get it very soon this week. Then I'll probably jump into the Realistic mode and maybe the simulator mode. Streaming my games on my Twitch channel. If someone is interested playing this game in team, it could be tons of fun. Take a look at it! Cake Twitch channel

gotta say delts you have good taste for tryin out thelfight sims, i love em. however i hope they have improved war thunder since its realease. i played during the original beta release and didnt care for it, and ive flown a lot of sims. I use an older saitek cyborg stick, top end for its day 10 yrs ago you mentioned flying with the mouse, from my experience WT worked much better with the mouse than stick, it becomes really shaky and hard to hold tarrget w/ stick, where the mouse will bring smooth movements. Good luck. my account info is still in one of my email accounts i think. maybe ill look it up and join you sometime

I'll manage to find better game than WT probably. Just received my new stick and having some fun with it. If you manage to play some sime again, let me know. I'll join you I think we had a cyborg too. Well if I can find back the old stick, i'll show you a pic... but now it belongs to a museum lol. It doesnt even work anymore on Windows 7. :S

Oh this is not a bad game but I dont understand the point of making mouse+keyboard always better than a joystick.

I freaking love that game but haven't played in ages... Pretty much since I stopped smoking lefties... Might have to fire it up sometime... I miss the dogfights.

But i think im playing with germans so maybe we wont be friends loool @ Delts- They actually do have decent joystick support. However if your playing in arcade mode forget it, arcade is not meant for joystick. You need to play in real, theres also a massive joystick setup page. Just about everything has adjustable sensitivity. The way they have it set up can be very difficult to figure out, but ounce u get keys bound where you want them and get sens adjusted right for you, your flying will smooth out. All depends on whether you have an extremely steady hand on joystick..or you like to jerk around when someones on your 6 I've flown a long time..since microsoft flight sim 98, then 2000. Then there was Dawn of Aces and Warbirds (quit cause couldnt afford the cost) then came the IL-2 Sturmovik sereies and pacific fighters..I forget how many add-ons there were to this but I have all but the last one. Then some more older ones were Janes:F-18, and lock-on. (more modern combat flight) Personally I like sticking to the WW2 and WW1 Era's, the planes had so much more character, and different flight characteristics. My WarThunder account is Thundercr8 - havnt played in a while due to problems with the hard drive its installed on. It bricked twice on me, I was able to get in working again both times but that is a downhill battle till it fails completely. I either need to DL it again or find a way to transfer it to new drive. EDIT: forgot to mention my hax for this is the best freakin joystick ever made! Saitek Cyborg USB Gold edition. Unfortunately for ya'll probably hasn't been available since the early 2000's, I bought this when playing Dawn of Aces..at a time when USB was a fairly new thing I believe. Forget all the microsoft sidewinder crap

I know. I'm just feeling sad that mouse will always have advantage over joystick.... this is TOO easy IMO to play with mouse/kb.. they should make it easy only in arcade mod and keep realistic for other people that are willing to have the proper gear to fly.... it's aint fun to play VS mouse/kb setup because this is so easy and fast to target people with the mouse... all people playing with joystick told me it's possible to do better than people with keyboard/mouse but it takes hundred more hours of training to become that good just because mouse/kb combo is too op, too much assistance, etc... it's just sad... if they pretend realistic mod is meant to be REALISTIC, then are you flying a real plane with a mouse and a keyboard? huuummmm...

I am guilty of the mouse keyboard, have not done air sims since gunship2000 first one to say they remember that game is at least 50 yrs old and to be honest I sometimes do ok and other times am pretty crappy, I try to play as a team member but most pps just plain out fly me, but I at least think I am learning the game, had to ditch most of my bombers I for the life of me cannot fly them, maybe they get better higher level but lower level just to dang hard for me. I am trying to find a sight that shows all the little things about the game, titles, scoring, info on the planes but as of yet I have had no luck. There must be more to the game I just am not seeing it. After about 2 weeks finally figured out how to do team chat and yeah it aint dang v56 for sure, ( still do that ) . In fact think i will log into it now..

In fact think i will log into it now.. One bomber key Boca..only works in Warthunder and is not how it should be realistically. I use the bombers as 'dive bombers' coming as close to straight down/slightly angled as possible, at high speed. Release bombs and pull up last second. This gives you the speed advantage to outrun fighters, and regain altitude + bombs act like wire guided missiles straight to target. Also by coming in high, your normally above the fighters doggin it out down below..just takes time to get the altitude up This of course is not realistic and method pretty much only works in this game. Normaly the massive pressure would snap the wings off..lol (that is unless they have since fixed it)

So much crap.. I just updated my game (8Gb that took hours to patch)... i wanted to play.. guess what? game deleted all my config... and now it includes my G27 steering wheel as a joystick control... seriously.. i never tried to pilot a plane with a wheel.. should try that someday... it bothers me so much... i'm not willing to fix this today and setup all my game again.. crap
