State of Air Sim 2025

Not just high! Also WW2.

I find it telling i genuinely enjoy groundpounding in Il2:great battles but feel myself slowly dying of boredom in warthunder when i decide to strap bomvs to my f8f or f4u to divebomb targets. Difference is good variety of targets, varied (AND BEATABLE) defences and consequences.

@Schindibee I think we consider Denmark as a one of bigger maps, here we have only one airstrip left after 1 hour with one guy attacking them.

Idk,from what i remember when i used Q-5L with 8 firebombs,when i bombed runway and destroy it,i got about 1.2k score and that was before the nerf to score in sim.

Just had a match where i was denied about 80% of my kills.

They would just bail the second they got fired at. Seems like the only way to get kills is to use IR.

community in nutshell, you can show exact screenshots but he would still contrargue that “from what he remember”

Aww, that’s something I especially hate.

I dont know how they do it nowadays to be honest.

Since ITOs there is no way to CCIP the runway anymore,before being above 5km was enough to not get fired at,but now even at 8km you just get insta popped.

Anyway,this is what i managed to hit using CCRP with 8 fire bombs,it made runway from green to yellow.

Which is roughly what should happen when dropping a single napalm load on the runway. But the event heroes are also using an ordnance switch bug/feature/exploit.

Well,idk how to do that and i wont abuse a bug just to get myself banned. So its not sim and bombing problem but Gaijin and bug problem.

If there is a bug could you try to report it? I don’t know how they do that and how it work, so I don’t know how describe the problem.

Tried playing Airsim for the first time today and everyone in this game mode is a terrible person and a representee of major issues with the player base, all of them in bombers and without fail the second you shoot at them they slam themselves into the ground.

It’s not all terrible. 3.0-5.7 brackets tend to be pretty chill with friendly folk at UTC+0 18:00-23:0. I can’t comment on times outside this period though.

I also advise against flying on Denmark or vietnam or the like.

Just had a match where one person on each team spent most of the match flying directly at each other and firing Fox3 at each other while not dodging to mutually kill each other.

They did it until they both had at least 17k score then left. I assume they were doing it to farm the event star. Stuff like this happens and people wonder why gaijin nerfs the sim economy.

This happens when you give people infinite SL via premium.
Few will ruin it for many…

That´s why I don´t grind or care anymore. 2 Trees are enough to just play 1-2 rounds when I want for fun and then do something else for 1-2 weeks…

actually game looks like this:

Joining a nice match with a 9 players each,
You Are so lucky when 9 on lobby represent 9 actually in a team,
You found out more than a half of enemy team play bombers,
Taking heavy machine to hunt bombers and take easy kills,
after 2-3 shooting downs you are lucky when not insulted publically,
after 3-5 kills you are the only dot on a sky,

please do a server replay report, that is a TOS violation, and the TOS violations that ease grinding are the ones actually likely to be acted upon lol

Report them in-game if they insult in chat, propagate PvE in chat, try to enforce a PvE playstyle in chat,…

We got special, ahahaha, love for such people.

Is there a way to do a match-wide report rather than single players?

I dont get enough reports to do player ones for the amount i see.

Sadly it only works per player, as it’s account based.
