Air Sim squadron

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for an active Air Sim squadron.

I'm currently in a squadron, but there's almost no Air Sim activity, so I'd like to join a group that actually flies Sim regularly and doesn't mind helping someone improve.

I play in VR with a HOTAS, and I usually fly in the evenings after my wife and son go to bed (EU time).

I have aircraft like the MiG-29, F-14, and several other top-tier jets, but I also really enjoy WWII bombers, especially the He 111. I also like flying aircraft such as the B-24 and B-29 whenever I'm in the mood for a bomber mission.

I'm not looking for a super competitive or hardcore mil-sim environment—just a friendly group to fly with, learn from, and have a good time.

If your squadron is recruiting or you know of an active Air Sim Discord/community, I'd really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Advice on the su 30 mk2 amv

So. I got the su30 after selling some event vehicles in the recent sale to start grinding the russian tree.

I have top tier US and im fairly good in all of them.

The issue that i have and i expected this. Is the bad radar. I feel blind in the thing and even the rwr has bigger blind spots i feel.

I have gotten good on the hmd but my main issue is finding head on targets. I have been trying to use the Head on mode on PD and TWS but i feel even that is slow.

Im not awful at the plane. It flies nicely and at short range the r77s are great. But im trying to get more effective and die less.

Any advice is appreciated.

What’s your favorite br?

What’s your favorite br and plane to play? Bonus points for your least favorite plane to fight against.

How is the AV-8B (NA) in sim?

I'm thinking about picking it up today for sim because of the shiny AGM-122, 154, And the JDAM/Paveway package it has, And I was just wondering how does it actually fare? assuming you're playing it smart and not going into the forefront of the action/flying high.

Gun pipper is horribly inaccurate

EEGS is a core functionality of basically every modern fighter jet but barely functions in War Thunder. It's especially bad in RB where it doesn't account for camera perspective. DCS clip is just for comparison, it's laser accurate in that game - enough to where aiming for the cockpit gets you a pilot snipe.

How do you aim guns

I feel i am absolutely dogshit at aiming literally anything in this game ive like never won a gun dogfight even after playing alot of stuff. I wanna learn how to dogfight but everytime i do i just get eradicated. Im using the mission editors as practice so I dont make the same mistake I made with the f86 and burn through 50k silver from dying and i have had no hope in aiming anything

Controller sensitivity

How do I make it so my pitch isn’t just all or nothing? It’s bound to LS. Sometimes I stay on target perfectly fine and others I’m jumping all over the place like in this video

Somewhere in Northern Europe...

Nice series of interceptions in the Komet today, almost like she was designed to get high fast and take down big heavy birds 🤷🏻‍♂️😜

Is it worth it to play air sim?

Im very tired of ARB so I have been thinking to play sim, but Im scared of dying very early and wasting the SL I have paid to spawn (Im a F2P player)

I already player sim before with a premiun prop as it doesnt cost that much to spawn in it, so the question is if its worth it to play on early jets and on top tier.

Step by Step - How to Kill Buks

I decided I would create a quick guide, an example really on how from start to finish how to find, mark, and destroy the buks all on your own.

I'm using Sim Controls
and in the cockpit only, If I can do it, so can you :)

Please change the convoy & ground battle AA in Air Sim

Gaijin if you see this please change the convoy and ground battle AA into SPAA that actually has radar bands that the majority of the ARM’s can actually see and target. At the moment the ZA-35 uses D band which hardly any missile uses and the convoys spawn Sidam 25s with only optical tracking although they act like full on radar SPAA’s anyway. Gepards , M163s and Shilka’s are more numerous IRL and actually have bands that early anti radar missiles can see. There is no reason to use 2 obscure AA systems with bands no missiles can see
