I don't know if it's supported, but there's probably enough functions to work. Left stick controls the plane, right stick control looking around, triggers control machine gun/cannon, a button to control bombs/torpedoes... yea should be enough.

Why don't you want to use the mouse though? It generally regarded as better and more forgiving than it should be, and OP compared to other methods.

this is a layout that might work

left stick for steering the plane
right stick for looking
LT MGs
RT canons
LB braking
RB acceleration
the other 4 buttons you'll need for rockets, bombs, changing positions in bombers, flaps

I'm going to give this a try either tonight or tomorrow! Hopefully its comfortable, but thus far, I like the game, just the controls are difficult for me (not bad in general, just new!)

Here's what I have for my Xbox controller, it's very similar to how I play Ace Combat, but there are more controls, so I had to accomodate. I didn't know what flaps or reload gun often happened, so I improvied:


Right now, I have:

Right-trigger to go
Left-Trigger to stop
Left/right button to Yaw

A for Guns
B for Cannons
Y to Target
X to toggle Flaps

Dpad-Down is drop bombs
Dpad-Left/Right is for next/prev target
Left-Stick press is Missiles
Right-Stick press is Airbrake
Back/Start for Maps/Statistics
Right/Left Button Press is Reload Guns

I still have room for Left-Stick/Right-Stick press combination for something
and any various combos like that



Fixed it.
But the planes swerves left and right a lot, is that part of the "real factor"

Meaning, I'll speed up or slow down or dive hard and it always seems to shake left and right in a direction before stabilizing.

It gets better with better planes. The shitty planes are pretty shitty imo.

a mix of arcade and HB.

best start with arcade to get a feeling for the controls and the planes. then later on you can switch to HB.

I just found the test aircraft area.

I'm assuming all the first planes are generally the same, they turn pretty well and I like their feel a bit more.

Gonna start with arcade, yeah. I feel the whole interface is really daunting.

Ok, Reached ranked 2 as Japan. Contemplating what to buy as I don't like the idea of paying for repairs out of real money (especially when I crash at least once or twice a match).

edit: Soviet Russia pretty damn good O_O

How bad is the Premium advantage both in currency and have a premium account?

Also: are the modifications worth putting in? Even for the reserve planes?

there is an option to not pay for the repairs in the lower left corner. instead of paying money for repairs you'll have to wait a certain time depending on your crew skills.

the japanese tech tree is fairly new so it's not really fleshed out and imho japanese planes are not really good in the game. Russians are probably the easiest to start with.

premium account gives you 50% more credits and two times the experience

Yeah, I like the Russian planes as well. Tough choice to make.

Is HB more cost-efficient in terms of earning more money through play? If I'm using reserve planes, the cost is 0 while the gain could be more perhaps?

Anything in premium that makes it pay-2-win? I see some planes are earned through gift or premium only...

I tried out War Thunder and fount it out to be a very fun game. The problem is I am terrible at flying planes

It's a fun game nonetheless. I got up to ranks 2-3 and tried some of the planes in there. Seems like the ability to field many planes has a very big impact in the game, causing more commitment than a game in World Of Tanks.

I personally prefer the no respawn system - it is less forgiving which makes it more fun
Victory is ours! Let's go home.

Honestly, I played a shitton last night and died twice per game, one or two hits.
today, I die once and killed a plane and some land vehicles.

Just takes time :B

Anyone want to start a clan or something for TL War Thunder? I feel there aren't many of us and it's tough to meet new people ):

edit: I thought it'd be cool if you could be two in a bomber too ):

I just realized that your username is like perfect for War Thunder.
How do I find out if someone is trying to add me? I don't see anything in contacts :B

Right now, I'm trying to figure what plane-path I want to go and how to use my funds, I'm a really, really picky buyer - it takes me forever to make up my mind on what planes to purchase with silver lions ):

I dunno how. You're the first person I've added. Try clicking the head at the top of the screen because that's where contacts are.
