this is the way someone talks when they have no reputation to lose. unfortunately despite that they can contribute stupidity to the conversation which dilutes it and denies the problem that is being discussed
Low BR CAS in sim takes actual skill. Aircraft in sim don’t fly themselves automagically like in RB, and even beyond that - rule of thumb for air sim:
New players to sim usually go and fly jets with guided weapons and SAS because those significantly simplify the handling of the aircraft. There’s no left-turning tendencies, no gyroscopic precession (although some single-engine jets do show some degrees of it given they still have a fast spinning heavy thing) and gunnery is replaced by guided weapons. After jets, they usually are recommended to fly two-engine level bombers (b25) and fighters (p38).
If I boot up a game in my F5E or F8E, the probability of finding absolute newbies who are doing their first ten or so hours in sim with no previous air sim experience is significantly higher than finding the same at 3.0-5.7. There’s still newbies at 3.0-5.7,
To successfully perform a dive bombing attack in the F6F hellcat in air RB, all you need is just point the mouse and the bomb will fall exactly where you expect it to.
To successfully perform a dive bombing attack in the F6F hellcat in air sim you must employ real life techniques involving the wing to acquire target for the dive turn (since your plane’s nose will block view), you must work the rudder constantly as your trim for 400 km/h level flight starts introducing sideslip in a 600 km/h dive (where uncoordinated flight will make your bomb go super wide) and you must compensate for assymetric weight as you pull out of the dive (not that difficult with the hellcat, but still something you must account for).
I recommend WingalingDragon’s channel for good demonstrations of what simulator CAS is like and the skillset required (watch his feet on the pedals constantly dance!). He plays both GSB and ASB.
He is that classic “cope” spammer, our internet’s favorite armchair psychologist. Acting as if anybody who disagrees with him must be coping, pretending he didn’t see voting that took place where half the community who voted yes for TO mode vs his own words. If anybody took a drink every time he said “cope”, now everybody is dead from alcohol poisoning.
So, you make statements about someone playing low tier sim without having any experience of your own to back up your claims.
Edit: I like that Magnus stays unpunished for attacking people with falsehoods they did not even make an effort to research or try, but flags responses responding to their inflamatory behaviour as off-topic.
Why would I care about him playing SIM no one cares about SIM. Besides botters and larpers to bad for RB. It has and never had any relevance to what we are talking about here or anywhere else on this forum section. I only commented on his RB stats because I was talking in an RB forum section. How is this hard to understand?
You still use the LARPer label as if it’s a bad thing. It’s a compliment if anything. It demonstrates someone cares for proper use, doctrine and handling of vehicles.
And you claimed low-BR vehicles take less skill. I implore you to fly a spitfire with SB controls vs a F8E or even something with guided ground strike munitions and tell me which takes more skill.
This is you. You are attacking someone for playing SB at all tiers.
Grab a spitfire.
Go and kill someone (air to air) in air RB/GRB. Resisting opponent of course
Do the same in Air sim or ground sim. Resisting opponent again.
I’m under the impression this guy is a contrarian. Whether he thinks it is funny or not, it doesn’t matter, he just wants to be difficult. He thinks being a CAS player requires skill, but then he bashed another CAS player for having no skill, despite being in a gamemode that requires the most skill.
