If I've learnt anything from this video its that I need to clean my monitor. "You can just see that black speck" If every black speck I saw was an aircraft he was being followed by an entire air force.
never play sim battles and rarely saw sim battles replay. probably had the exact same view as you Michael Cort saw. lots and lots of enemy aircraft. (had to clean the screen and re-watch again :D)
Little late I know but my problem is that I got 23 dead pixels all over my display so I have to keep zooming in and out to see if something is a dead pixel or a silhouette.
For jingles and everybody else who wants to try out SB. Fly first bombers, it is easy. You spawn in the air, you just fly to target zone, drop bombs and go back to base. After a couple matches you will be forced to land, so you learn landing in SB. After you are confortable with landing a Bomber you can land a fighter. then choose a Dive-bomber or attacker, you will be forced to take off most of the times. After learning how to take off you simply just kill ground targets. By now you will have been attacked by fighters that want an easy kill, so you will be able to spot enemies. After that you can go try out a fighter.
***** DO NOT fly bombers, they are very broken especially the gunners, i fly and one bullet to the engine and im dead. Rather do a dive bomber but its really boring. I recommend to find some people who knows how to do it and make your way to getting the first few kills.
***** If you want to learn SB try test flights, it's not that hard to learn to take off in a single engine fighter (plenty of tutorials on RU-vid to help learn) and it'll give you a chance to see exactly how far you can throw your plane around before it snaps into a spin (especially since every plane handles differently). For target practice you can try custom battles, can create your own and play solo with bots (bots will only be in biplanes but it's still useful for learning the first steps of target leading with the gun sights). Both these are helpful for your first few steps into SB (test flights can be oddly relaxing too). Plus sides: no repair costs and other SB pilots won't hate you (as flying a bomber in SB draws aggro like you wouldn't believe). Downsides: test flights can help you with learning how to handle a plane but lacks for comparative testing and will do nothing for learning gunnery or spotting, and custom battles vs bots can only do so much since they'll always be in reserves and fly in a really predictable manner.
Thank you Jingles. I was in danger of dying from boredom and you have saved me. Long will be the nights when I tell my children of your hearty laugh,gentle voice and Iron leadership of our Light blessed Salt-mines and how you preserved my poor lost soul.
Actually The Mighty Jingles one cannot see markers on friendly planes in the sim battles unless they are withing 0.9kms. I was in that battle too as Diwashb where I got my first sim battle kill with a keyboard plus mouse and C to look around. I believe I killed one of those G8N's. Your only sub from Nepal :) Gud day sir.
James Bond I am lucky to be alive and be there to help other people who need it. But thank you for your concern. The disaster did indeed claim a lot of lives but it made us more stronger and brought us even more closer. Thank you kind sir for your good lucks and warm wishes. live long and prosper
Its a bit weird really. If I try to watch youtube videos that are 20+ long it feels like an small eternity and i get bored within 5 min. With Jingles its like "Wut 27 min Jingles?! How must I fill my empty useless day with a video that short?!"
Now this title brings back some memories! The first game I ever bought for the PC was Aces of the Pacific for my 386sx25 (that's a 386 processor, with a top speed to 25 megahertz....14 if you didn't press the 'turbo' button!, 2meg of (soldered on the mobo) ram and a 40meg hdd.). It was an epic game, loved it!
TheMoulie i skipped the 386 turbo's. I went from the 286 right to the 486 DX to the pentium. When i bought my pentium i kept my commie 128 (BBS) but sold my 64. Now i wish i had kept them all. Miss my commies.
J. Cole As long as it's a normal spin: Center joystick, counter rudder, pour on power! Flat spin? Cut power, pray, place your head firmly between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye
I can fly planes in ms flight sim but wt uses diffrent controlle on my joystick and pre set the flaps badly. I would rather concentrate on shooting the enemy than flying the plane which is why i play arcade.
I also notice that Pavo here also makes his "sneak approaches" on his targets from angles that the enemy pilot wouldn't naturally look and notice him without waggling the wings (from behind and slightly below) Expert fighter there!
AcridCrowd You mean Hispano Mk 2 and Mk 5, as we have three versions of the hispano which are those two and the Mk 1 hispano cannons. The spitfires up to the griffon engined ones are using Mk 2 hispano cannons except the first two spits.
Best war thunder video I've seen yet. You out spotted me on all the air craft except the last one. This game is absolutely beautiful. I can only dream of being this good. I remember watching my uncle play Aces High growing up. This reminded me of watching him play way back then. Granted Aces High never looked this good 18 years ago.
To conduct a spin in SB jingles all you have to do is apply left or right rudder and drop the throttle. To reverse and pull out you apply opposite rudder and raise the throttle. Quiet simple but deadly and challenging with enemies around you and if your low to the ground.
The thing I like about the P-47M is that it has dive brakes so if needed you can slow down to stay on the tail of a fighter or to quickly slow down for a fast landing
Nice to see SB content on the channel. Will hopefully bring more players to our mode. oh and there's no markers for ANY enemy unit AI or player, plus you only see the friendlies >1km
The reason why the pilot sees something, even tho you cant , no matter how many times you look at is because some sim pilots have their sharpness up in the settings, which makes spotting dots much easier.
Hey Jingles, as you also do War Thunder on YT, I'm sure you've already heard of this guy, but I'm constantly impressed by a fellow who goes by GrmlZ. Absolutely wrecks face in sim battles and couldn't be more polite about it. Great informative commentary and masterful dogfighting. Just super impressive knowledge of all the aircraft. Note to sim pilots,if he's ever on the enemy roster, save yourself the embarrassment and fly into a large rock or you may end up a fireball on RU-vid. Of course I suck at arcade mode, so it's all wizardry to me. Cheers.
At the very end there Jingles, the N1K didn't take any more than a few bullets damage, but he made a piloting mistake and put his plane into a low-altitude flatspin. In an N1K, at slow speed and low altitude, he was dead by proxy. With how the guy was flying, its unlikely that was as a result of damage.
Jingles all P-47M-1's were the RE version, all were capable of having 8x M2's but many pilots removed the two outside ones since they didnt really like them and wanted to performance.
Hey Jingles, I just wanted to say thanks for putting up your videos at the time you do. Without fail I get home from work and you've just uploaded something I can unwind to. Cheers, mate.
For any one who didn't see how the last guy went down. Pavo nicked him a bit, the enemy pilot pulled back too hard during his Split S maneuver that it tossed him in a spin.
ramjb I propose the the first person to point out a Jingles mistake gets a 'get out of salt mies free' card. Also OHI RamJB, I feel honored to have someone famous comment on my comment.
You know Jingles, Sim battles are not as difficult as you may think they are. I used to be scared off by them but after seeing all those replays you publish I decided to give it a go and it's much easier than I thought. Granted you need a joystick but it's still fairly easy. The first few matches may be a bit hard but the spotting is really the hardest part about it, and soon you learn how to do it. I think you should give them a go for a day or two.
Couldn't hope to do these games myself. I'm don't play WT enough, and I simply don't have the equipment I would want in order to feel comfortable playing with full sim controls. But hot damn, I love watching people who CAN play sim well :). I could watch matches like this all day!
I was trained to put aircraft into a stalled spin and pull out of it. One of the first things they teach you in flight school. Not terribly difficult, but it takes practice. First few times i threw it into the other spinning direction. PC makes it less harrowing.
His monitor must be way over 40 inches. Watching this on my 50 inch TV is the only way I could see the enemy planes...and they're still hard to spot. I can only assume that all the dead pilots were his eyes and ears (if they can spectate in SB's) and giving him help in TeamSpeak.
Gotta love this ... Awesome match indeed ... When I want to relax, I play tanks ... But when I want to play a serious game ... Yeah ... I'll go for Air Sim Battles and put my serious toys to use ... Really lovely to see this one ... Hope to see many more
Its actually not too hard to spot planes without target markers once you know what to look for, playing "spot the dot" as we often call it. You can often loose sight of them during manoeuvres, but when you're just flying around especially at altitude, its not too hard. The difficulty is telling the difference between dirt on the monitor or a dead pixel and a plane and then you have to close to about 900m to ID them. It's one of those times, I really wish I had a 4K monitor.
For those who have no patient to listen to Jingles talks about a game mod that he don't play, 11:00 is the point you want to jump to :) No hard feeling Jingles!
War Thunder is still one of the few games for Simulator flying you can hop in and within some minutes, find enemies...Really do enjoy it. Il-2 Cliffs or BoS; even DCS you can fly for an hour before spotting a target. That guy flew that P-47 great. Haha, one thing you can tell right off the bat, is the people lacking some tracking device vs (sadly like I have to do) using keys/hat button on joystick/mouse for moving your head. Sometimes you feel sorry for people that never see you coming =) Keep these videos coming Jingles, always really enjoy these Sim Battles.
Ya, I have heard about it, have a few people that have gotten it working for them. Problem for me is where my machine is & having people walking around me a lot lol. I have TrackIR on order just as I finished typing this. Going to be GREAT =)
Hey jingles, just a friendly reminder in sim you can't actually see if a plane or dot you see is friendly until you are 2-3 km close to him. At far distances if you see a dot you won't know if it's friendly until you get close enough :) just thought I would let you know
TBH learning how to get someone off your tail in SB can be difficult, but only if they're skilled. Otherwise, if you're on high alt, but yourself in a controllable flatspin to loose height quickly which means the enemy might loose you. Flatspin tip: Pull down, low throttle, flaps and when you recover, up your throttle and slowly pull out.
A high resolution screen 4k even if you can afford it is a big advantage in sim battles, much easier spotting black dots in the distance. Same goes for sniping at far distances, in some games you'll be able to spot people 1080p screen are unable to display to you.
The most remarkable thing about this is that he actually got into a sim battle without waiting the equivalent time of the life of the universe in queue.
One thing you can do to help point out where enemy aircraft is if you feel that people would have a hard time seeing is to pause it and add a little arrow pointing at it for one second. Just a little editing tip.
You said P-57-M-1 RE around 2:50 but I don't blame you as you were throwing around similar numbers with the fighter group... God damn it, now that I pointed it out LET THE SALT MINES COME AT ME!!! *jumps into the hole*
I love these videos so much, I even remember the last simulator battle jingles posted and I was chewing my nails all the way through it (metaphorically of course;)
Just a tip Jingles, people tweak and abuse the graphics in WT Air Sim just as they do in Ground Sim to see targets easier so if you can't see something but the player can, don't worry your Mk 1 eyeball is not malfunctioning.
Well based on your video Jingles I think you need to do a 'retro' flight sim series...cover Aces of the Pacific...Aces over Europe...Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe...Battle of Britain...all the goodies!
Would of been good if N1K2 had it's correct Flight model Currently: 595kph at WEP 7 minutes 15 sec to 6000m at military power N1K2 manual in Japanese: 644kph at military power 5 minutes 30 seconds to 6000m at military power
It's infinitely easier to spot people if you just put Cockpit and TPS sharpness to maximum values in PostFX settings (although the game doesn't look as pretty)
In Sim there arent any markers at all! They only pop up when you are, I think, 800m away from a friendly (might be a little more or less). I would also argue stalling on purpose is a bad move most of the time. You loose to much energy.
Great video as always Jingles, I will treasure this video as a great birthday present for I feel better already. (Yes I'm sick on my birthday, what are the odds? XD)
Jingles have you ever heard of militracks or santa fé (militracks is a event with german vehicles and santa fé is with allied vehicles its in the netherlands in overloon) if you did have you ever considered to go to it?
"overwhelming amount of pilots that got shot down, didn't even see the enemy that shot them down" Isn't that one of those... "how do you know that" kind of statements? Last I remembered, you can't ask the dead if they saw what shot them down.
I did once put a plane into a stall and shook an enemy off my tail...but it was a complete accident. I didn't realize I was stalling till it happened. I did remember hearing on TV once, from a documentary about dogfighters, that they said a good way to a recover from a stall is to put the nose down and accelerate. So that's what I did, and I recovered.
About at 18:08, a black dot right above his left wings guns, below the clouds. Someone please tell me I wasn't the only one screaming when I saw that at both Jingles and pAvO :/ Also, that final kill, the N1K went into a flat spin after he got hit
well I can still not recognise any of the planes without a marker, I just see a small dot, maybe it's because I have only watched replays and never played my self, but still
