WT - Beginner's Guide: Making Sense of the User Interface
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 08. 2017
- In this guide I take a fresh look at War Thunder's current User Interface, I show where to find important settings and features, how Matchmaking works, how to set Crew Skills and last but not least, how to configure your controls for Mouse Aim with Keyboard.
(This replaces an old and considerably out-dated video that was probably confusing new users rather than helping them).
Miss your videos Longshot. I've been playing WT for several years now for which you deserve credit. The grind and "economy" of WT would have stopped me from playing long ago. With your help I still manage to enjoy a few matches and earn enough silver lions to keep progressing. Nobody does arcade videos, wish you still did. I will be watching your old stuff again. Hope you are doing well in 2022!
Good to see that ur ok and still able to see comments longshot i won’t force u to return tho i saw a video u posted in 2016 where u expressed why ur not intrested enymore in war thunder
We miss you mate
Come back longshot!! You make excellent videos, and have made me and so many others such a better pilot in warthunder. Eagerly awaiting your return sir.
Yes please come back!!!
pog pog?
We miss you longshot!!!!!
It's 2020 and I still miss your videos!
I do too!
👍 Thx! It's 2021 now, and it's the perfect time for you to start flying again, and creating more War Thunder videos and guides. Right! 😃
Are you planning anything for 2019. I miss your videos. You have helped me immensely!
Capt Mike Day
he isnt here in 2020 neither =/
@@josuealex182 It's a pity. War thunder needs someone with his approach to things!
'Yo buddy, still alive? And thanks, friend!'
@@gabork5055 Thanks for the good word. I'm working on a couple for early 2021.
Absolutely the best WT tutorials I've come across on CZcams, very detailed and informative without being overly technical and confusing to a novice. I feel like I just watched Bob Ross and instead of painting a masterpiece, I'm ready to take out an entire enemy air force single handedly.😂😂😂
Hehe, you're too kind :)
Hey Eddy, I don't plan on making more videos anytime soon I'm afraid. I recently came back to play WT and only managed one game, which I didn't find enjoyable due to the toxic attitudes of some players, and the fact the game's no better than it was years ago. It's the same old, and it doesn't make me feel good playing it, instead I just feel like a bastard. That, and "real life" keeping me busy just paying the bills, mean that I won't be coming back in the foreseeable future.
Thanks! I really enjoyed most of my time playing it and of course making videos and interacting with all my viewers. I'd like to get back to doing that again one day.
long5hot maybe you can post videos of different games if you like. I started playing war thunder in 2014 when I was 7, and I played arcade only for the first 3 years I played and I watched your videos hoping to be a master arcade player! But now I play realistic only... but I really do thank you for showing me how to play the game and making it more enjoyable. Anyways, hope to see you again in some way, shape, or form. See ya mate!
@@long5hot I think you should just make some more beginner's guide videos! I need them as I'm thinking of playing this game and I've already played at my cousin's and I know that your videos really helped me a lot!
Still being the best tutorial series for war thunder air combat.
here to pay respects to the king
i started playing in 2015, and your videos taught me how to play how to play air arcade. before i found this channel, i was absolutely awful; i couldn't aim, fly, or win. after i found this channel... that was still the case for a while lol. but then i kept trying to apply what i saw in your videos, and i slowly got better. and better. 1000 hours in, i was good enough to switch to air rb. i sucked all over again, but as i grinded my way to the top of the tech tree, i rode that learning curve, too. 4500 hours in now, and i can carry matches and take on 1v5's (and occasionally win them). they've added all sorts of crazy new stuff over the years, but everything i learned here is the foundation of the skill i have in this game today.
thank you!
That's so good to hear, thank you! It's been ages since I've played now, but it thrills me to think my old videos are still helpful :)
It was by pure luck that I found your tutorials a few years back, and through those I've become a way better pilot. All the maneuvers, how to fly specific aircraft, all the minor differences that can make or break a dogfight etc. So even though you may not be able to post as often, I'd like to offer you my fullest thanks for making me avoid the furballs and actually think about my angle of approach :D I hope your IRL situation improves enough for more consistent uploads, and I wish you all the best.
He's in a situation with IRL?
Hope your doing well longshot. You were one of the first people to really teach me how to play war thunder.
Hope you're doing well man. Used to watch your videos years ago. Just randomly came by your channel and remembered watching your videos knowing I'm the big boss in the skies now. Anyway, cool to see you still engage with your fans even in 2022. Have a good one.
Thanks! Glad you have good memories of the old videos - pls shoot down some planes for me 😊
Just coming back here to remember the good old times...
Yeah I do that sometimes too...
@@long5hot Hope you're doing well!
@@long5hot hope all is well.
Just stopping by to say that your videos have drastically increased my skill in war thunder went from maybe getting 1 kill a game to over five with maybe two deaths. Thank you
Keep at it - you'll get better still :)
@@long5hot ^^ Ditto, after being so bad, cos im old, and slow, (despite being a pro muso=lightning reactions,and good hand/eye skills ) I gave up, using 5 planes per battle is just so noob. BUT - lockdown leads to reviewing old faves, so after having a good binge of your vids over the last coupla weeks, I returned to WT just yesterday. Thanks to the meta programming by binge watching your vids and returning muscle memory with a tinge of 'beginners luck 2.0''? I logged on, and was never lower than 9th place, (15 battles) had a great afternoon, and didnt lose a single battle NOT ONE! ...and used far fewer planes. (apart from my spits, I feel like king of the sky in those, and die very quickly ) Its remarkable! your calm voice was in the background, as I imagined I was actually in one of your amazing replays, and your commentary somehow became instructions...clear, calm, stay fast, stay high, stay alive! Just wow longshot. A virtual ace wingman!! Good Job - Its quite right that Gaijin send you gold, as i will probably return to WT premium now. Job done.
Hats off to you sir! 2022 and still watching your videos.
Just started playing WT last night. I’ve seen a lot of videos by a lot of people but I find yours to be the best. Thanks for taking the time
Join our clan buddy!? Wolfpack1
I always come and check your channel for anything new. Great WT content. I know life happens! I check back again soon.
Btw, the "joining already going battles" Never puts you in a halfway game. it only assigns you to games which do not have any tickets altered. So I leave it on cause it means sometimes I don't need to wait those 10 seconds after choosing the plane.
It can still put you into a battle where everyone else has climbed already - doesn't matter if you're going for ground targets or just want to engage the low-alt furball, but otherwise it does restrict your options.
long5hot yep and it is so annoying
couldn't agree more!
Hmm. Never had a problem with it in arcade, and I do tend to climb for most games. Although I admit I do not have the patience to stay up there after destroying the first wave of climbers. And just fyi, before watching your old tutorials i used to get 3-4 kills a game. Now I am fairing much better, usually on the top 3 spots of the team.
watching these videos is great for the nostalgia factor but they are also still relevant which is great. as much as your viewers miss you, i completely understand why you'd give up on war thunder. gaijin are still the braindead money hungry worms they were years ago and it doesnt look like change is anytime soon. if only there was a game like this without the scummy business practices... anyways, thanks for being a legendary member of the wt community and i truly hope you are doing well. :)
Hey richie, thanks for your kind words - yep I'm well, and life is good! Occasionally I spin up WT just to fly a game or two, but quickly close it again. It just doesn't have the pull it used to have, not for me.
@@long5hot same i will play a few games but i won't play more than 3/4 games in one sitting
A lot of people don’t share their wisdom if they’re really good at something because they don’t want others to be as good as them. But you go as far as teaching the absolute best strategies and manoeuvres (the list goes on). I found your channel because I was having trouble in a Spitfire so I searched up how to get better and found your spitfire IIb video, and it blew me away (in a really good way). Sorry if this is way to long but I wish you’d return fo more of this amazing War Thunder content!
Ahhh I miss your vids long5hot you made me love this game and going from a 0.9 to a 3.2 kdr :'(((
You helped me become an AS in just one week.
This is, without a doubt, one of the most useful WT videos I have ever found, I set my mouse aim up exactly as you recommended and have been practicing using Test Flights. The keys setup you recommend is just perfect. Thanks so much for helping me to improve my flight skills. I'm primarily a tank driver but I want to be proficient when it comes time to take a plane into combat Well done, Sir! Now I'm off to learn more from you =D
I noticed one possible benefit for selecting "No" for "Automatically join into squads". I found that I'm not getting up-tiered as much, than when I was randomly joining a squad. If your squad mate is playing at a higher BR, this can possibly bring your squad's BR up, and then the up-tier match happens.
Thanks for this series of tutorials, they have helped me a lot too.
longshot you have no idea how helpful those controls are...ive always wondered how you did what you did in the game like zooming with the mousewheel and MANY other stuff.... :) thanks man...youre a great help!!
Dude I just feel so bad back in the day when I was a noob this guy helped me so much and now it's just sad to see him gone. Hope he comes back in 2019 or 2020
hopefully
I did play a game the other day, just one Arcade battle the first in years. I climbed in a LaGG to 4000m, had my usual fun shooting down bombers and rope-a-doping a 3-man clan that insisted on trying to climb at me. And after the game was over, I got the usual abuse from one of the clan members saying my methods ruined the game, took all the fun out of it, that I was nothing but a spawn-camper, blah blah. I didn't feel much like hanging around after that, so I left them to have "fun" flying like idiots.
@@long5hot yea I dont like flying air battles that mutch too much toxicity
Hey Long5shot, you can be my wingman any time ;)
You're really starting back at the basics again, but honestly, when I start a new game like this, the interface can be so confusing. Videos like these should be practically included with the game itself so you can get a feel for it.
As a side note, when using the preset 'Color Correction' modes, Contrast is my preferred because it really makes the colors pop out, but it also makes night maps incredibly dark and difficult to see (moreso than usual). You can nullify this by setting it back to 'normal' (this can be done in-game) for a better view, or you can give yourself rudimentary night vision by setting it to 'Fall' or 'Sepia' (I personally use the latter).
I was actually in a night mission not long ago, and the settings I showed there worked very well - could still see what was going on & pick out dots etc.
I've been putting off doing this (and the next) video, they feel more like housekeeping rather than creating something new, but it has to be done!
Well done long5hot! Very well done. This was so overdue for all the poor slobs like me trying to reconcile current interface and control options. All the veterans may have it all figured out, but the future of the game depends on new blood and need help exactly like this from some of the respected veterans. Thanks so much for this helpful update. I cannot wait for the next installment you mentioned. I am hoping that you spend a little bit of time helping us to sort out the sensitivity and control percentages for ourselves and how one goes about doing that with their equipment. DPI for example seems to be something that some mention, but I’m not sure how much or if that even matters. Thanks again. Another virtual pint or two for you!
A higher DPI will make the mouse more accurate, and usually mean you have to lower your settings otherwise it'll be too sensitive. The WT Aim Sensitivity setting is obviously affected by your mouse settings outside of the game, hence I can't just tell everyone "set it at 40%" (or whatever value) as it really will be different for each player from an equipment point of view, let alone their individual preferences.
long5hot Thanks for the reply. While it makes sense that individual user system mouse hardware and driver settings alter the settings used in WT or any other game I suppose, I realize there is no one size fits all settings. However, what I suspect is so challenging for us newbs is trying to intelligently adjust and assess in a positive way and knowing we are more right than wrong with the settings.
I guess what I’m after may not exist, but ideally there would be a method sequence or process to help each of us find our individual sweet spot. How to recognize when we’ve gone too far in our control sensitivity or axis settings. Not everyone is looking for instant gratification. Some of us just don’t have enough time right now to guess and guess again. We’d much rather be flying sorties! I don’t mind being bested by other Pilots more skilled or with better planes. But I really hate wondering if it’s because I’m unwittingly handicapped out of the gate because of my is under or over achieving for me.
I get the trial and error for fine adjustment, but where are the points of diminishing returns? Hints and nudges are SO appreciated as always. Ah, I guess I’m rambling now. I hope this makes sense. In any case, you and several others, have had such a huge positive effect on so many of us. Thanks again.
Well, all I can do is describe how I tuned my own aim sensitivity. First of all, I left my windows mouse settings untouched - I have it so that I can sweep the mouse from one corner of the screen to the other in a single smooth movement over about 10cm of travel.
In WT I fired up a custom battle against AI bots, then tested to see how far the cursor was traveling when I made similar movements. I didn't want it moving that far on the screen as sharper turns with the plane are better handled by the keyboard anyway, instead I wanted it traveling roughly half the distance from the center to the edge of the screen with an average movement of my mouse. I dropped into Control Settings, tweaked it, back to the game etc until it was ok.
Then I experimented with shooting at biplanes - was the mouse moving too sharply causing the reticle to bounce around, or was it too slow & I was missing shots as a result? More fine-tuning until it was right. Lastly, doing the same but testing using zoom as I made my attacks, and adjusting the zoom camera sensitivity. All in all, it didn't really take long.
Omg I been playing this for almost a year and in test flight I never knew you can edit it, now I know thank you
Hope you come back soon! Your vids are some of the best wt tutorials out there!
One minor correction - the 6.0/2.3/2.3 lineup at 10:35 won't even drop your "average" to 5.7, it will stay at 6.0. Using vehicles 2.0 or further apart replaces their BRs for calculation with the top BR, so the game sees that as a 6.0/6.0/6.0 lineup. If the difference was less than 2.0, like a 6.0/5.0/4.7 lineup, then the 5.0 and 4.7 would be replaced with (top - 0.7), or 5.3 in this case. So the game sees that as a 6.0/5.3/5.3 lineup, which does average down to 5.7.
Good point, thanks. I've never tried a silly lineup like that so I hadn't noticed it didn't even average down at all - all the more reason not to do it then!
I'm so intredasted for you.
Patches my understanding was that it will only average by a maximum spread of .7.... If you have one 6.0 and two 2.3 planes, it would average between 6.0, 5.3 and 5.3 rather than all 6.0. to the extent I've been able to test it, that's been accurate but in practical terms its not that different than what you'd stated. it's been a while since I'd looked that up, but I don't believe its changed.
I found it easier to just pull your crew out of any tier 5 vehicles (air or tank) and put them no higher then tier 4. I learned this the hard way playing tanks. Say I want to upgrade or just bought a newly introduced tier 2 or tier 3 tank or plane. If I have crews in tier 5, I will find my new tier 2 or tier 5 vehicle going up against tier 5 vehicles. Not very fair or very practical. By pulling my crews out of a higher tier, I can now use my new vehicle at a more fair level. You see a lot of You Tubers who simply send all their crews on a holiday, and only have crews in the vehicles they are using. So you see they only have two or three crews going at whatever tier they are trying out for their video. That way, all your crews are at 3.0 or whatever, and you are playing only against equal tiers. Taking a 2.7 vehicle out and battling BR 9.0 is not fun at all.
Good stuff mate :)
You also Jengar, learned a lot from you too! Thank you!
Epic
i am so sorry you are not posting anymore, just found the channel and it is pretty helpful, thank you for all the great content o7!
Thanks once again long5hot, giving me something to watch in the morning!
Although if you are pushing videos out like this I don't think I'll ever get any school work done.
Hopefully fly with you sometime this weekend!
Wish you could pick it up again , best channel for us new ones
You helped me to become a better player. I play for a few weeks then put it down. I've been part of the game since the very beginning grinding away at my plane development rank by rank plane by plane. I've managed to reach rank 3 in most countries. I pretty much have 8 mil in silver lions and about 750 in golden eagles. I like the grind, but it has taken me forever to reach my plane development...I'm very systematic. When you do come back look me up in-game. I'm mrbspapa I'll put an alert for future video if and when you decide to make another.
Hi Longshot, just my humble feedback that your videos were the best there is about War Thunder.
I got into WT at least a few times since 2014 but left after BR 4.0. The gameplay was just too imbalanced and atmosphere toxic.
They still have not done anything about Spawn camping. You end up playing players with BR 5 or 5.3 in a BR4.0 plane.
One would play a game to wind down but end up being more wound up and tense than before.
Hopefully they should fix it someday.
Hi long5hot, how are you doing in 2022? I've been watching your videos again, all of them, remembering good old times. Hope you're well, and I hope covid didn't get you!
Hey MS! Yep doing ok - even dropped into WT today for a few games for the first time in a couple of years. Controls were weird, had to constantly hold the throttle key else it went to zero for no apparent reason. There were an enormous number of console players, and to my shame I let one shoot me down! How's life treating you in 2022?
@@long5hot i also noticed that console players numbere is EXPLODING and i am one my self i started playing from last year
Enyway its nice to see that ur ok and "survived" the pandemic
Been watching all your videos lately some multiple times just really wanted to say how much I appreciate you taking the time to do this. Your tactics have helped me tremendously and has even gotten me into looking at older dog fighting videos. Again just wanted to show my appreciation.
Thanks Blake, glad you enjoy the vids :)
long5hot
I was wandering if there was any way u could tell me how to setup rudder pedals to use in arcade mode with mouse aim like okie did in the la5 video u did a year or so ago. I would really appreciate it.
Unfortunately I never figured it out, and Okie found it difficult too. From my hazy memory I believe he had several sets of pedals but only one of them would work in Arcade. Anyway, it doesn't gain you anything because the controls are still digital with mouse aim - it either registers as full rudder or no rudder, the same as pressing a keystroke.
long5hot
Yeah I understand that I just found it easier when I don't have to hold 3 keys at once but I do really appreciate your responses in such a timely manner.
long5hot
Got one more huge question for you any suggestion on how to deal with cloud cover? I can't seem to ever track targets and seem to get blindsided alot. Again thanks in advance and I promise after this I will let you be for a bit lol.
Funny. I was just messing around with the settings yesterday, thinking "longshot should update his video on this", and you did.
A much needed guide for newbies like me. thanks for the video
Long shot plz come back u helped me learn while others don't plz come back
Huzza! A new Longshot video! Glad to see Gaijin supporting video content makers :)
Sheesh! I just realized that this was his last video he uploaded.Thus the upcoming video he spoke of at the of this video never got uploaded. That's a real bugger! 😥
Such is life... 😭
Much appreciated! I've only just started playing and have found the whole UI and Controls to be pretty unfriendly to newbies - but I'm getting there with videos like these~
I didn't realize how much using mouse aim only was such a handicap! No wonder all the enemies I fight nowa days always stall like bricks because of how linear the mouse aim is... The key binds really do open up the full potential of your plane. I wish it was the default setting so that new players aren't as disadvantaged
TYVM for this - was finding the old vids usefull - this is even better!
Very good video, Long5shot. when i started, i did follow your videos and setups and i m in the game till now, thanks :)
I remember watching your content when i was 14 now im 19 thank you for the help lon5hot

Come back to us longshot! I wonder if I've ever bumped into you at a GA airport around Aus. You're obviously well into your aeroplanes and know your stuff.
@
long5hot Could you please create more content related with WT or review other games. I love the way you are explaining everything. You are an incredible and would love to see more content from you.
I've watched some of your videos and i find it great, really improve my play style in WT.
Are you ever coming back? I’m a console peasant War Thunderer and your videos have helped me immensely with teaching me energy fighting tactics. The unfortunate thing about console it the controls are horrible without a keyboard or joystick. It makes manoeuvres like rope a dopes and climbing spirals very challenging if not impossible. Most console players lean towards turn fighters because of this.
Miss u longshot.. your videos were great, very inspirational to keep on learning and adapting and helped me a lot in aviation. Wish u would come back. Hope everything is ok😁
Have you ever thought of doing a video on how to play a game when you've lost control of high altitude? It'd be something extremely useful especially in the (more than common) situation where all your friendlies give up on ascending because the enemy team has a bunch of Bf109s that climbed higher than them.
Yep I've thought about it several times over the years, never actually done it - its about time I did!
Long5hot is dormant, I'm no veteran, in fact I'm level 15 but here's what I do.
When you are outnumbered at high altitude, chances are they are experienced pilots so you have to dive or die. Stay on the half of the map closer to the fighter spawn, you're gonna want to identify where furballs are and dart in from the side and dart out towards your fighter spawn. The fighter spawn will be an insurance policy, but don't rely on it.
You'll basically be Boom and Running, faster planes such as the Yaks, 109s and 190s have the advantage in safety from speed, turn fighters such as Zeroes, Spitfires and Hurricanes have the advantage in better angle opportunities in furballs. Reason you Boom and Run as opposed to zoom is because the high flying aces will begin to boom and zoom when air supremacy at altitude has been attained(for them) and the highest plane will be the highest priority.
This brings me to the most important point, keep your head on a swivel and keep track of which plane is at where and which altitude(easiest to gauge when they are vertically above), when closure increases, evade with a break(split S or downward Chandelle if you somehow have the altitude) or face them and snap roll. In fact, if you have the advantage in armament, facing them headon gives more favourable 50-50 odds, it may even frighten more careful players such as Long5hot and myself, who typically don't hold headons against certain planes.
Cover your teammates even if they don't cover you, most furballing players have tunnel vision and are unlikely to see and evade diving fighters, try to catch them in the zoomclimb or in the dive if your aim, ping and hit detection favours you. Do not follow them for too long(break off before you drop below 300) but you may perform low yoyos to increase the time you can shoot. More experienced players may now keep an eye on you after realizing you are shooting them in zoomclimbs, but as long as you have safety in numbers, they will have a hard time attacking you too.
If the supremacy advantage is minor, you can try to climb up to altitude later into the match to turn the match around, when they decend to 2-3k m alt to pick on the furball.
@@Blitzcreeper239 I used to try and get some separation from spawn camped enemy planes. Then side climb attempting to regain alt advantage. Rarely works since matches end so fast (10 minutes avg). Not much chance of turning the tide anyway if there's multiple campers. I just started playing again after 1 year hiatus. I will give your method a try.
@@gordcross1266 I think the current meta may have changed, I've moved to RB but Arcade is still good fun. The most important thing I've learnt that is new, which I'd have never learnt from long5hot is that you can't always get your energy advantage so you really gotta bite the bullet and just pick on the low altitude furball while keeping an eye on those at high altitude - if they come for you, you can try to force an overshoot since they've got the energy advantage.
Thanks, this was very useful. I learned a lot from your videos. I am so happy you talked about repairs. I had no clue what the free repair time in the specs was. As a beginner SL is still a problem but I have enough tanks , so I now have deselected auto-repair. (I just started playing airplanes too).
Hey Long5hot, thanks so much for all your videos. I am new and would have likely given up had it not been for stocking up on your vids. The game is so hard to play well even at a basic level. I do hope you get back to making more as you are missed. Best wishes and greetings from Scotland 😁
Thank you sir. Some of those camera controls were my main concern. I just got a computer that would handle these games well, it's 9 years old but a little overpowered for it's time I think. I can play arcade on "movie" and get 72 or more fps and lag doesn't seem to be a problem though my internet isn't the best. Maybe they also "match" you with crappy internet. So far it seems a joystick kind of sucks in arcade. I've been doing better with the mouse but couldn't see worth a hoot. Into the 30's on kills and just found the crew skills stuff.
Anyway...I've only got a few hours into it, this will help immensely.
New sub...thanks again.
Great work again mate. Thanks for making better pub players.
Miss these videos l
Where are you we need you back your videos helped me a lot ✌ :) hope to see you back however it's funny how life made some other Warthunder content creators busy or even vanish but regardless fun & games& Warthunder go on forever
Where are you man ! I miss your videos !
I love your videos! I can tell how much you care about this game, and you have definitely earned my subscription :)
I think you should be a narrator to documentary's ,your videos are awesome!
Nice video longshot, great advice for new players there. Just one thing i thought i should point out is that "aim control sensitivity" doesnt affect the speed the plane manoueveres at all and is actually related to mouse aim sensitivity when using a controller.
Really? I noticed a huge difference when I experimented with it. Hmm...
Yes i'm 100% on this. I use a PS4 controller and adjusting "aim control sensitivity" adjusts the speed the mouse aim cursor moves.
Ok that's very interesting - thanks for pointing it out. I'll run more tests, I'm not convinced that its doing nothing for "normal" mouse aim. I could easily have imagined what I saw, but I know others who've tested it and seen a difference as well.
No problem and i can understand how you might have to that conclusion. Unfortunately its one of those settings that you never fully understand until you plug a controller in and see for yourself but i can assure you its purely for adjusting mouse aim sensitivity for use with a controller/joystick, specifically the x and y controller axis you assign and doesnt affect "normal" mouse aim in the slightest. There is a lot of miss information going around regarding this setting so i hope this clears it up.
It'd be really nice if they just labelled the setting "aim sensitivity for controller" and the other one "aim sensitivity for mouse", that'd clear up any confusion. Ah well.
Good advice on watching replays, do that all the time with racing.
Oh the good old days ! Respect
Brutal. Awesome video mate.
I've been gone and haven't watched any WT related videos in a long time. Just checking in now.
Hope Longshot is well and will perhaps start uploading videos again. Would be a great pity if he wouldn't. And he still has over 12 000 subscribers.
Hey Trangle, sorry it's taken me so long to catch up with comments. I'm working 2 jobs and simply don't have time for games right now. Maybe in the future I'll bring the channel back to life, who knows ... I do miss it though.
Hey Long5Hot, nice tutorial. You converted me to Space firing a couple of years back. I find it really good.
Did you switch the'W' and 'S'? I think I saw that you had reversed those? I prefer 'W' for 'up' and 'S' for 'down'.By default it is the opposite.
Agree on the backup of your settings as there are some parts of the Controls editing that are a 'one way trip'. You can't go back. Have had to reset to default a few times and set everything up again. Save that config!
He converted me to using my keyboard as well but I use shift to fire, I play CSGO so shift if a buttonm my finger naturally falls on
watch these almost daily to correct mistakes i make constantly..lol getting better still havn't figure out all these too many keyboard buttons haaaa... thanks even if your not making these they help everyone in some way
I wish you made more videos .Its been 3 yyears ,come back please!
Hiya, Long5hot! Are you you still playing WT? Either way, thank you soooo much for your contribution and wisdom. Cheers, Bruce. xo xo xo
appreciate your effort ...for this beginner it's what I've been trying to figure out...and I do mean a beginner
Nice to see you back
2022 it's still relevant
I hope you make a return to making videos some day! If you made a Patreon I’m sure many people would be happy to support your efforts with helping people in war thunder there as well 🙂
So do I! Time will tell whether it's possible or not. I did make a Patreon back in the day - www.patreon.com/long5hot - which some people did contribute to for a while (and one faithful viewer still kicking in $1 per month, I don't know why but thanks!!). While it is indeed nice to receive some support, unless you've got views in the millions it's impossible to make a living from youtubing, so in reality it'd still a labour of love making the vids. I do hope to get back to it.
Man, so glad you are back.. Will you do some videos on Italians ?
well damn, much learned here. I got a new mouse, new dpi, messed with the aim controls to make mouse comfortable... now my plane was jerky and sliding all over the place... I was THAT noob complaining about LAG...HAHAHA...shit Thank you so much for this... Also learned why im getting out BOSSED in plane battles, up to a full Rating up and down and will be averaged across all planes...noted.
Hey, man. Please come back! Really missing you!
He probably isn’t going to come back since he said that he doesn’t feel this game anymore and also Real life is keeping him busy
Oh cmon :( why did you stop uploading :( NOW WHOS GONNA MAKE ME A BETTER PILOT
please come back longshot when i was low on lions and exp u helped me to be better plase come back sir
Great vid longshot! Btw did I mention that you have a very similar voice to Mark Knopfler? When I'm listening to his song I feel like I was watching a war thunder video of yours (;
Wish my guitar playing sounded like his as well ;)
Longshot! Longshot! Longshot!
Superb video.
Some of the options have changed and just wondering if you could/would do an update. Just lost all my settings and can't find where I save them. Seems Gajin has changed the names of some of the setting. In the meantime, I will muck around and hopefully get back to where I was. Thanks for your videos. Don't know how I could have done without them!
Long5hot can you make a video on how to fly the late bf 109s/fw 190s such as the g6, k4 and maybe the Ta152s in Arcade Mode? I am currently grinding tier 4 Germany and I can only get 1-2 kills per death. In other words, I'm struggling to get killstreaks. Your advice on recognizing the situation and technical advice like aiming is always the top of the line. Thank you for your videos.
I heard is as "tears were taken into account in matchmaking"
You have taught us well
I noticed you used advanced mouse aim. I have been playing WT for 4 years, and never used advanced mouse aim. Explaining the difference between advanced and regular mouse aim would have been nice.
thanks for the vid, there is always something to learn even for a 'veteran' like me. Have you caught a cold? Hard Australian winter?
I've had a lingering flu for about 3 months now - like half the Australian population. Its not been a fun winter this year.
sorry to hear that.
I already knew most of this so I came here just to like the video ; )
I knew you would, so I came here to like your comment :)
Hope you are well mr longshot. We miss your videos.
All good here Mr Peddler. Happy 2022!😊
Thank you for an informative video, loving war thunder more now.
"I dont play tanks, if you're looking for help with tanks then find another channel, I'm afraid" that was funny as fuck for some reason
Thanks! Your beginner vids have always been invaluable to the WT community. Unfortunately, Gaigin recently moved and renamed a bunch of settings. Like theleha86 I'm still trying to find Aim Control Sensitivity since the last update. Any clue?
Cheers, v helpful even though I thought I new! Wish I had that many GE!
