I dont know if it just me but i find a lot of the time i want to play warthunder but i dont wanna play tanks or full 16v16 air rb just good old IR only 1v1s. the game already has 1v1 missions it wouldn’t be hard to just add a tab under mode select for 1v1. it wouldn’t be a mode for rp grinding just fun for people who already have their favorite jets unlocked and wanna fight in a more ordered environment. could even add a ladder so you have something to strive for.

Rewards would be trash and no one would play them after a week of people just bringing Typhoons.
Yes the rewards would be trash, but aren’t they in every mode?
Plus I think OP didn’t mean just top tier trash, I believe the way to do it is with symmetrical lineups such as F-5 on F-5 ( any variant to allow easy entrance), 109 vs 109 or similar.
Id be down for such a mode tbh, would give a nice break from the constantly boring ahh ARB.

Why don make a timer and for every kill you get rewards?
Could work.
But as with every suggested mode, if it doesn’t directly make money the devs won’t bother.
Cuz haha why have a player enjoy lol
I think 3v3 with rounds or smt is perfect
Same as hero showdown to the ppl that played bf2
Probably not any variant, given that means the F-5T SCU with its HMD and Python 3s would soundly dominate.
Maybe F-5As only? Pretty sure they’re all sameish enough.
with ir missiles allowed i could def see the su27 being a menace but i think this mentality isnt very good for the game over all anyway or we will just end up never getting anything new, also its not 16v16 or sim it would not need a large player base to stay relevant since you only need to match 1 player vs 1 player. its also more that just top tier as well, theres a lot of 1v1 fun to be had at other br ranges other than 14.0
Welp, not jet games but we had similar things back then.
I joined and at one point made the top 100, but it was one of the most awful experiences I’ve ever had in the game because everybody used sim controls. I have heard that instructors are now forced in TSS duels recently, but not much has changed as trim is still available.

with the proper adjustments its still worth trying tho
At the very least, there needs to be an AB/RB/SB game mode, and in AB/RB, sim control, including trim, needs to be completely banned.

i think knowing when to turn off instructor and how to use it is also a skill tho so im no sure it that should be banned
While this is debatable in RB, AB is not.
In RB, some aircraft have sim controls so good that KB/Mouse can’t compete, and the only way to counter them is literally to use sim controls just like they do. And That’s why we can see biplanes duels sometimes on TSS, which doesn’t give much advantage on sim control.
Also, some players use WTRTI to make turns while watching for optimal AoA, which is not fair to those who do not use them.
In AB, you can pulls 100% without going flat spinning at any speeds so, complently no reasons for using instructor.

i see, to be fair i dont play AB so i wouldnt know how it works in there
people who claim this game is based on TEAMPLAY makes topic wanting to 1v1 other players
??? you realize you can have teamplay focused gamemodes and a 1v1 gamemode in the same game right

There is no need for 1v1 game mode. You already have custom battles, you can make custom session and 1v1 anyone you want.
On this forum there is a rule, that you must oppose everything you don’t like, even if it does not affect you.
You can observe it in other topics, for example how cas abusers are throwing tantrum everytime someone wants a TO mode
There should be 3 modes.
I’d love this mode as a means to practice flying my plane without my usual advantages from assymetric/surprise situations in sim ruleset.
AAB, ARB and ASB rulesets.
If you are using “mouse aim” (point mouse at X, plane automatically does appropriate rudder, aileron and elevator controls to point at X), instructor is mandatory.
Instructor means auto pilot/fly by wire, the naming is a bit of a misnomer.
Also I do want to note, landing shots with full-real controls is significantly harder than RB/AB controls. Being able to pull harder does not feel anywhere near as useful to me as being able to just point the mouse somewhere and click and the bullets go there. Pulling hard can be a detriment if anything due to stalls and bleeding energy.
Hard no from me until they add a TO mode.
27SM doesn’t hold a candle to EFT even with R-73s.

You can turn on mouse controls anytime so, it really doesn’t matter.
In RB, vertical fights against players using SIM controls is best, but if you do that in AB, you will be sent back to the hangar because they don’t lose much energy and can turn very much faster than you.
