Trikke, I'm not a Steam player but I have some questions you or the others might be able to answer. They're quick questions so I don't think separate threads would be worthwhile.
I have a hard time seeing the planes in night battles unless they are against the snow or the aurora. I see the aircraft icons just fine, but finding where to aim at the plane under the icon can be difficult. Should I adjust my graphic settings? Or does everyone have this same problem?
When you find yourself in a closing head on approach with an enemy who outguns you, is there a preferred method of evasion so you're not shot down? I've tried quick climbs, dives, and turns, but I still take a lot of damage. Maybe I'm not timing things right, I don't know.
I've flown several flight sims, and I miss having the joystick. Videos on YouTube compare joystick and mouse for WoWP, and the mouse seems better for getting the gunsight where it needs to be. What's your experience? Any preference? As a note, it took me some time to realize that with the mouse, you're not flying the plane as much as the plane is following the gunsight.
I know this is a game of percentages, just like World of Tanks and World of Warships. I've played both of those for years and little percentage advantages can make a difference. But the improved components for the planes really don't seem worthwhile since they're expensive, they depend partially on RNG, and you trade off decreases to other stats for the benefits. Of course, I'm only beginning to fly at tier 4. At what tier do you think the enhancements and calibrations really begin to pay off? Or should you Specialize the plane before improving components so you'll have more components to work with and more value for your investment?
1. yep, we all have issues seeing each other in the night battles bots have no trouble seeing you, though no more night battles after T3... yeah!
2. a wingover dive is the best way to avoid a headon with a human... when he tries to nose down to follow you, he will begin to roll, so temporarily he'll lose his aim point
start the dive just in time to avoid the worst, but not too early to give him time to follow you down joystick users excel at controlling unneeded rolling
knowing what he's packing and knowing what you're packing will help make the decision quicker... to break, or to hold your aim
3. i have 3 joysticks rusting away in the top of the closet since 2.x i have better scores with a mouse because i can aim better with a mouse
some top pilots still use joysticks... Toggle is one but my hand to eye and brain-muscle coordination is inferior to his in so many ways
a stick in his hand just feels natural, he says who am i to argue with that?
4. the jury's still out on the expense vs. benefits of specialization, i think, because of the RNG but a specced plane gives me more confidence, that's worth something, right?
i love options and i love to think about the pluses and deltas, but 95% of my planes has the exact same build, sadly
and don't forget that WG is constantly tinkering with that, so what be slightly better today might be slightly less better tomorrow, for balance's sake
the human pilots' ability to make quick decisions is the most powerful upgrade in the game, and that only comes with in-game experience
