  • After a break from gaming that felt a lot longer than it actually was, I take to the air once more in an Arcade battle & discover just how much rust I've accumulated. The answer? Plenty!
    This is probably the most n00b-ish video I've ever made for War Thunder - you get to watch me make mistake after mistake. But hopefully there's some good stuff hidden among the dross :)

    Just wanted to say your series has helped my flying immensely, and it's great to see you back

    Welcome back, long5hot! I'm glad you took the break you needed for yourself, and I'm also happy to see you back. I look forward to enjoying more of your natural talents to teach and communicate in your calm and mature but always entertaining voice. I've learned tons from your videos-- but I have tons left to learn still. BTW I like the new longbowman avatar although I always got a chuckle from seeing WWI ace Snoopy piloting his Sopwith Camel/dog house, too. All blessings to you for health and wealth, sir! Cheers!

    I'll get in line with the other comments: Welcome back! You were one of a handful of youtubers I grow fond of and subscribed in the past years. I stopped playing Warthunder about the same time you quit and found other games of interest. Nevertheless I keep myself informed. And I'm very happy that you are back to do exactly that :-) Happy cheers from the other side of the world.

    @TonyJ86 Před 8 lety +1

    G'day Long5hot. First of all welcome back!
    Secondly I noticed I am featured in this video (Fireshorts) albeit mowing grass in the furball. I didn't even realise you were playing that day!
    Anyhow, I'm relatively new to the game, I've only been playing for around a month or two now but since watching your videos and learning about the game and each plane I have found myself improving immensely although it doesnt show in this recent battle.
    Once again welcome back and see you in the skies!

    Welcome back mate.
    Great video as always. So happy to see you enjoying the thrill of the hunt!
    We all missed you and I'm sure others along with myself started re-watching your series. It's great watching your skills progress and very helpful for new and old players alike. Hopefully Gaijin see some of they errors they are making with this beautiful game and continue improving.
    In the meantime I'm so happy your having fun with what we have!
    Thank you so much for all the time and effort.

  • @CoyoteCourtney
    @CoyoteCourtney Před 8 lety +1

    I'm very glad to see you back. It's enough to push me over the edge and get back into playing myself (I've been on break from WT myself since February). Good luck and good hunting.

    • @long5hot
      @long5hot  Před 8 lety

      Welcome back! After a bit of a rough start with concrete damage models (tweaked & improved just yesterday I believe) I'm actually quite enjoying the game at the moment. I certainly needed the break though.

    Soooo great to see you back! I couldn't have expected you to be back so soon, but it's a really great positive surprise! Hey, welcome back! Our master and entertainer! I hope your private stuff has turned positive and sorted out, or at least is on its positive way; despite all being eager to see more vids from you that sure has priority. All the best and happy to see you back!

  • @PabloEscobar-xd2fy
    @PabloEscobar-xd2fy Před 8 lety +1

    Welcome back, Long5hot! I've missed your content :)
    I once told you that I was teaching my fledgling squadron your tactics and recommending them your videos. We were 7 strong then and now we're up to 60! They've made great strides in these past few months and find much more enjoyment in the game after having learned how to properly utilize what they've learned.
    Every other match we'll discuss tactics and often times you and your content get brought up. I look forward to fighting with/against the master soon!
    I trust you're doing well,
    Cheers!

    • @long5hot
      @long5hot  Před 8 lety

      Please tell me your squadron name so I know to look out for you - and run & hide when I see 4 of you heading my way :)

  • @long5hot
    @long5hot  Před 8 lety +16

    I make so many mistakes here; if I'd approached this as an "Analyze This" video, it'd go for over 30 minutes as I constantly paused it & criticized all the bad decisions. But that doesn't sound like much fun does it - I know I'm rusty as hell :)
    Here's just a few (apart from those I didn't point out in the narration), and they all stem from lousy situational awareness:-
    1. After rope-a-doping the La-5, the P-38 was just over 1km away but I just didn't see it. I should have extended away from both it and the boom and zooming La-5, using Messersmitt-like tactics to dodge the BnZ. That would have gotten me away from the attacker spawn.
    2. When I started my dive to drag the P-38s to the deck, all 3 of my attackers were within 400m, but I assumed at least one of them was further away. I could have turned sharply and started a dogfight at that point instead of going defensive.
    3. Chaika - apart from wasting too much ammo on that P-38, which didn't burn up anyway, when the Heinkel appeared the Hayabusa spawned in shortly afterwards - and I didn't see it. I was turning blindly in front of said Hayabusa and was lucky he didn't do more damage.
    4. I never once looked directly upwards when searching for the Hayabusa.
    5. Edit: As a few commenters have pointed out, my trigger discipline is non-existent.
    See if you can find other mistakes, I'm sure there's plenty :)

  • @danielbreitenstein1772
    @danielbreitenstein1772 Před 8 lety +1

    Welcome back, Long5hot! I started playing WT in May 2015, and discovered your vids in Jan/Feb 2016. They have been a tremendous help in understanding how to play and survive. It took a while to grasp energy fighting and appropriate Boom N Zoom vs turn fighting....now if I can only get kills (I have LOTS of assists)....I've watched your vid on how to aim, and that has helped - understanding convergence and such......maybe I'm just flying in way too fast as I soot, or not aiming far enough ahead of my target.... (WT handle: Elessar2112)
    Anyways - welcome back, Professor!

    • @long5hot

    @korgeth Před 8 lety +1

    Welcome back. Hope you are having fun flying again. Thanks for taking the time to record, edit and upload, one of the first games back. Also on the situational awareness, my son walked by while I was in a match the other day, and out of the blue he said "daddy I see why you are so good at that game" I asked him what he meant, he said " its because you are constantly looking around and you know where everyone is". Although, I know, I'm not as good as he thinks I am, I understand what he meant. It is just habit for me now. And I have to say I learned it from you, thanks.

      @DMStraylight Před 8 lety

      A lot of the other War Thunder-centric CZcamsrs have gone silent, but there's till a lot of good content available on their channels.
      Check out Magz_TV, Jengar, GrmlZGaming, and tx141TX. All have done excellent review and tutorial videos in the past, though I believe Magz and GrmlZ have dropped WT content recently.

    • @long5hot
      @long5hot  Před 8 lety

      I'd really like to get into IL2:BoS, as I bought it half price last year. My problem is that in the hangar & menus it wants to thrash my GPU up to 100%, and it gets so hot that it sounds like the computer's going into meltdown :\

    Hey LongShot! Great to see you online again. Wonderful to have you back.
    I agree on the frontline maps and have found that the matches do tend to last a little longer than usual. Many matches end up being won by the team with planes remaining. Its worth a bit of caution to make sure you last the distance.
    Don't worry about the salty replies about WT. It aint that bad. Plenty of fun still to be had.
    Hope to see you in the sky as I fly out from NZ...

  • @PrezPendejo

    Great to have you back Long5hot and I hope life is treating you well. So many supportive comments - I think it's safe to say you've been missed! I noticed that you're not flying with your squadron tag :\

    • @long5hot
      @long5hot  Před 8 lety +2

      Yeah the supportive comments really blow me away - my viewers are awesome, and I really don't mind if each & every one of them shoot me down in WT :)
      Re the squadron, when I fired up the game after my absence I found myself tagless. I didn't worry about it as I thought it'd probably be better to fly for a while without a distinctive "target me" tag.

    • @llmari1048
      @llmari1048 Před 8 lety

    Welcome back Long5hot! Despite this game's problems, it's nice to see someone coming back, rather than leaving. Any plans to play Tier IV?

    great to see another video from you! gorge is another of these maps that are just made to funnel every fighter to ground level.

      Ugh, Gorge with its Death Star trench.

      Turns out The Trench is actually quite a bit of fun when you're roaring through it at 950kmh in a Thunderjet. Pop out the far end, zoom climb back up to altitude, split-S back over, and repeat.
      ...mind you, that's the ONLY thing that's any fun about the F-84, but, well, one better than none, eh?

    I've taken up reading "Pursuit" as you recommended. It's a tremendous book. Thanks!
    Also, please do consider creating some SB videos.

    • @long5hot
      @long5hot  Před 8 lety

      Hmm SB ... well, I do have the equipment thanks to apieceofstring (in WT he's Setch) who contributed to my buying a joystick & pedals not long before I had to take my break. I'm woeful with it though - I can fly in a custom battle against biplanes, maybe shoot down 1 or 2 through complete luck, and crash several times through stall spins that suddenly bite me in a turn. I need a lot more practice to improve & get comfortable with the controls before I'd try an actual PvP battle.

    • @DavidHansen1
      @DavidHansen1 Před 8 lety

      Take off, landing, flat spins, and reduced visibility are the biggest differences. They can be dealt with if you just get good information. It provides a much more realistic environment that I find very satisfying (the fact that there's more communication and cooperation between team members is an additional bonus).
      I'd love to help train or just be a friendly bystander if you decide to indulge.

    • @long5hot
      @long5hot  Před 8 lety

      I practiced quite a bit with Setch before I took my break, both of us flying P-38s. He was easily able to out-turn me, as I'd be continually on the edge of going into a flat spin but somehow he could push the turn a bit harder & not spin. I guess its just practice and getting more of a feel for the plane.
      I don't have head tracking, so that's a serious disadvantage & I'm stuck with hat switch for now. That's part of what I don't like with SB - your equipment has a huge impact on how effective you can be. Especially when it comes to keeping track of opponents in a dogfight, as I've found it extremely difficult keeping track of where my enemy is in close quarters battles.
      I do like the feel of my Thrustmaster HOTAS X and CH Pro pedals, but I just can't seem to settle on a setup that I like. In particular I really struggle with slight course adjustments, with the plane either not responding enough - or suddenly over-responding, and of course that translates to not being able to hit targets. I spent a long time trying to keep my movements smooth & gentle, but really didn't improve very much and just ended up with really sore wrists ;)
      I'll give it another go, but not straightaway. I might give RB another try first.

    • @DavidHansen1
      @DavidHansen1 Před 8 lety

      +long5hot I have the same joystick and had the same problem. The ball inside needs some work which I can walk you through. I couldn't find internet help so I took it apart and explored. The fix was not too tough once I found the problems.

    • @long5hot
      @long5hot  Před 8 lety

      Hmm ... taking it apart ... sounds scary :) I'm not sure if its the stick or the game, as it has similar lag in its response to the rudder pedals. I've also played a little IL2:BoS (can't play a lot of it because it makes my GPU want to melt down when in the hangar & menus) and I didn't have the same issues there at all.
