Get the F-16XL in the Space Program Event!

…so like the Mirage 5’s, Milan, MiG-27’s, Kfir’s, Hunter Mk.58, P-16,… not to even mention all the multi role aircraft like F-16, F/A-18,…

Vehicle classification in WT is very arbitrary, and in a lot of cases causes confusion and even frustration, because of wrong expectations.

Tbh most of those should be classified as strike aircraft, anyway above rank 5 it doesn’t affect anything, and it would be more accurate

At least the Viggens are distinct in their classification. The same should at least apply to the F-16 vs F-16XL.

They are also specifically placed into a strike and fighter line and aren’t event vehicles

Realistically, how much time and effort do you think switching the label is?

To a gaijin dev, harder then CTRL + C, CTRL +V

So it did end up as an event vehicle… This is unfortunate since my W button (that I have set for throttle) is broken and upon trying for even a basic head-on exchange, I only racked up about a quarter of the way through the a star in 3 hours.
Looks like I’m sitting out of this one.

I’m very impressed by this one in test drive mode.
I’ll retract my negative statements about how it performs at least until I have spaded it.
It may actually do well at 13.0 in ARB.

Wait, people actually use W/S for throttle?

I was extremely curious to see how crazy it is in arcade when flying it in realistic

Dunno how common it is, but it’s certainly what I’m used to right now!

Safe to assume the Nuke Thunder event doesn’t track for event score?

I have since OBT. Why change it?

I’ve always used WASDQE for roll, pitch, and yaw, with shift and ctrl for throttle. What do you use for pitch?

This is the superior keybind arrangement

When I started playing it put throttle on W and S and the elevator on Ctrl and Shift and that is what I kept.

Are you flying RC aircraft IRL? = )

Nah, I’m married. There is no time or money for hobbies. ;)

Just thought because of your controls: When I used to fly RC gliders, we always had ailerons or rudder on one of the two sticks, elevator on the other, haha! No clue why, always found it counterintuitive, but it worked… = )
