    Mig 21MF help

    Hello, i need help understanding how to properly use this plane specifically the Hungarian variant. I tried to make use of the radar missiles but the radar rarely ever works and instead locks onto flares, even in head-ons it struggles to maintain a lock long enough to launch a missile. I tried using it at any imaginable altitude without any success, from my understanding I should get the r60 missiles asap but it seems impossible since I rarely ever get a kill with it in its current configuration. The gun isn't great either. I'm simply going to give up on plane and game entirely because honestly no other vehicle has been anywhere near as bad.

    F15 SG should be added to Japan?

    F15 SG is a multi-role aircraft, so it can be an strike aircraft or fighter and it is a modded version of F15 E from Singapore, i think that it can be a better cas option for japan top tier. wdy think, good idea or nah?

    Air grinding

    TLDR: Like tanks hate planes, need tips for grinding air.

    Howdy everyone one, I need some input on how to grind air TT. For reference I mostly play ground RB but my US TT for ground is at 8.3 and my air is at 4.3. Ive started playing air RB for more rp but I'm very ass. I've been doing mostly bombing runs but tbh the gameplay is pretty boring. Are there any tips on how to grind air for the people that don't like air. I mostly want a higher tier plane for the occasional CAS run. I do have premium time but would be willing to buy a premium plane if it meant saving me hundreds of hours. Thanks for any input!

    Appreciate the feedback. Im just gonna chalk War Thunder community up as extremely toxic and consider my $75 investment a loss.

    Just my two cents before I duck out: I remember a lot of what I saw during my brief time playing this game both last time and this time and I thought the community had changed over time since the last time I played, so I tried it again. But my god, people, you make Toxic WoW in the old days, like a walk in the park on a spring day. You are on a level so much worse than that community could ever hope to achieve.

    First, instead of offering any suggestions of any kind, (I've read my post as well as others) you bully new people relentlessly, calling them liars and even going so far as to threaten them (oh yes, don't worry, those messages have been forwarded to Reddit for review, so don't worry about that), and even insulting people in the game. I got called in my last Air Battle, "Oh look, it's the whiny bitch from Reddit who can't fly a plane" (funny, I can fly planes just fine in real life as I actually have a Private Pilot License. Oh but I can't fly).

    This community is extremely toxic, and I would recommend that any new people stay far away from it. This was a sobering experience about how the gaming community really is, and I'm ashamed to be part of it.

    Unpopular opinion: You should not be able to swap between control modes mid battle

    Its an abuse of the instructor mechanic and gives an unfair advantage when used correctly, because it makes a jet behave outside the norm.

    FPS Loss?

    I was recently playing on high/ultra settings until game decided it wont run good on anything above medium preset. For example i was having a stable 100+ fps, until it started dropping to 80/70 sometimes even to 60 and below. Squad and Helldivers 2 for an example run fine. My specs are: Ryzen 5 5600, RX 6600 and 32GB ram and i am playing on 1080p.

    Problems with changing simplified controls to mouse aim.

    Hi, so I’m quite new to warthunder and play on ps4 with controller, and I’m messing a bit with control settings. But I’ve noticed that if I change the key bindings in simplified controls they also change on all other control modes. So I can’t have different settings for mouse aim and other controls. But that means that if I change from simplified controls to mouse aim mid flight, the mouse aim doesn’t work. Does anyone know how I could be able to have different key bindings for different control modes? Thanks!
