Funnily enough apparently I’m familiarish with a few people who fly with an xbox controller or PS controller in sim and none of them complained about it. Some of them are aspirational/pretty good even/content creators.
Here’s ROKSTARxTTV’s controls:

Common battle settings
•Bind map to back button. u have no need to see the scoreboard during flight, u can check it between flights if you must. Additionally, the radio on the Y button is set up in Common same as the map and scoreboard bindings under radio favorites.
I just dont get it. Like, if his complaint is “PC has advantage in ARB” then fair enough. I tried to fly ARB with my ASB controls today and it was an e x p e r i e n c e. However in ASB he shouldn’t have any issues with an XBOX.
not unless you’re extremely well practiced, even then you’ll just be worse than if you buy a 100 dollar flight stick from the beginning, but gl keeping up with someone with vr
I’m not complaining about using an Xbox controller, and I don’t think he understands his usage of “persecution”, but I’m saying there is a distinct advantage for pc users.
Hotas + Vr
The ability to zoom out and change the FOV. Which SIGNIFICANTLY increases awareness.
In ARB, the mouse aim is actually easier, and more accurate to use than a joystick on a controller, while M&K have the ability to map far more keys.
Controllers are the “jack of all trades” kind of deal.
All literally lied about owning the BI, which just makes their argument disingenuous.
The only ones whom seemingly own it are myself and TheMightySardine (which is chat banned ironically, along with another one who claimed he owned the BI).
Nah I didn’t at first. It’s 8 mins. Watched it. Your right about the camera control, they must’ve finally fixed it then, because 2 years ago it wasn’t a thing you could do on console.
Correction: it works EXTREMELY intermittently.
Edit 2: despite having the “keep value for disabled axis” enabled, it’s resetting to the default position 96% of the time
Secondly, do you have any evidence he’s actually on an xbox? Because last time I checked no vr worked for xbox, nor do most good Hotas systems, I think xbox has its own dedicated one, but it’s not great from what I recall someone saying.
I’m pretty sure they haven’t released a new flight stick for consoles since the thrust master hotas 4, I don’t know if you can use psvr2 with it at the same time because it’s like 700 dollars lmao, but the little nipple is really hard to use effectively and low visibility cockpits screw you as you can’t move your actual head, just where you look.
There’s definitely advantages but it’s not game over for consoles, I’ve never played sim before and I’m a good player in rb, but im struggling to stay even 1-2 at 5.3 re2005 (god I have come to appreciate bubble canopies wtf Italy)
Oooh it was top for one month, with a tiny amount of games played.
A whole “5208”… surely, it’s OP right? Surely it’s not really good players who own it playing it, couldn’t be.
Btw this was previous months’ “best KDr” planes.
Which, makes me think Russian pilots are just better than their counterparts. With even lower games lol
Sim is a different beast. It’s my preferred game mode for sure, especially past 10.0, rewards are better, longer games, xyz.
And at least you get vr on ps. They were making an Xbox one, but they canned it for some reason, granted you can “stream” to a meta quest, but the latency would be so bad it’s not worth it.
I’ve heard there’s an eye tracker you can get, but it’s like $500, so unless I know for sure it works, I’ll pass.
jets are a ton easier to actually fly but I just don’t have enough buttons for some jets, properly setting trim constantly is so annoying for props but it’s definitely better than stuff where you just gotta hold the stick the entire time. honestly the p61 is pretty fun to use on console since you don’t need to really move your head a lot, just use radar to hunt bombers, pretty fun realistic gameplay
Do you need to own it to understand a vehicle’s strengths and / or flaws?
I bet most people don’t have the Ariete AMV and I think we can all agree that it is overtiered just based on its qualities.
Does personal experience help forumlate a good opinion on said vehicle? Of course.
Does it mean that other people who haven’t played said vehicle can’t have an opinion on them? Of course not.
I’d expect, at the very least, for someone to look at a vehicles pros and cons, along with (perhaps) judging vehicles based on previous experience fighting against it. Then there could be a valid foundation for an opinion.
From the people that you have mentioned, I think all of them had valid takes on the vehicle.
And to be quite frank, I assumed you meant own it or have experience in battle with a BI in the match.
I would’ve put ‘no’ otherwise.
Setup your SAS. I didn’t even know that was a thing till I was at the MiG-29, and someone else told me about it, made life VASTLY, AND I MEAN VASTLY better.
Well of course seeing a vehicles strengths and weaknesses doesn’t require owning the vehicle, but the experience of fighting it vs flying it are two entirely different worlds apart.
The Russian P-39Q-15 is the best P-39, and is an offsale premium at 3.3, with better armament and superior flight model. Of course it’s going to perform better than other P-39s at 3.3.
Why are you thinking Russian pilots are the reason for that?
Same for the LaGG-3-4, a premium gift vehicle that only a certain few have.
The BI is also quite rare, but not nearly as rare as those two.
Direct evidence beyond the console icon in his name (RokstarxTTV) is a no (unless you count long discord logs of him complaining that he can’t use the market), but he does stream of twitch and you can see his controller+pedals setup. Other xbox players I had people cited were “Nightstalker” and “Its-butters”.
Nimbal was brought up but he’s PS and 352 as another PS group.
Yes, I do agree with that.
Though I’m pretty sure you can figure out whether or not a vehicle is good based on how difficult it is to fight against it – especially with competent players using them.
Just like how I know the T58 is good based on its pros and cons, my friends (some of whom have it) talking about it, and having to face it in Squadron Battles / GRB.
