@@casscrane6040 Well you definitly gonna lose some aim in exchange of fun and be at disadvantage with these settings. Some tips ? Don't really have one. Just massively use the flaps ( combat or landing ). Be able to make sharp turn is always useful and you will gain some accuraty as you slow down a bit. Maybe with some practice you'll get better Personally i don't play for the ratio or win a game and i'm not espescially good at it. I just like the controls of planes in game like GTA or Battlefield and with the touch of realism of War Thunders it's more natural and fun to me like this. :3
Man, you are a lifesaver. I have really wanted to get into WT, but the dumb mouse flying makes my head explode... you, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar
Damn, time to unlearn the setup made for myself lmao, this one is way better. I am unable to even use radar missiles because I don't have enough space to do any radar stuff xD. Believe it or not I played WT for a whole year without having any rudder controls binded
Oh my god, dude! How do you remember all that? Your galaxy-sized brain just consumes information. You have a LOT of time on your hands, this control setup looks like you're preparing to fly a real F-16 remotely. That's incomprehensibly impressive that you memorize and know how to control everything. Gosh, I'm gonna give it a shot but lord have mercy I'm gonna have a stroke trying to press all these buttons with lousy 5-fingered hands.
Dude thank you so much this vid convinced me to continue trying to play warthunder bc my controls were all messed up like crazy, but with this new setup I’m actually able to level up now and get 15-20 kills each match 🙏🙏
Thank you so much for the guide! This helps a ton! I was getting frustrated with all the default controls. I’ve definitely seen improvement in my score at the end of matches.
just downloaded war thunder and these settings are going to take some time to get used to, but i can tell will be easily well worth it in the long run. good stuff man, love when games have advanced settings.
I've seen your original vid a little while ago, really helped me in this game on xbox. Watched all sorts of videos and couldn't figure out how people seem to be looking around with ease and still maneuver effectively. Max pitch + increasing mouse aim sensitivity worked wonders. Not really liking that December update though. Any time a plane fly past you hear this generic " close fly-by" sound .. and it's the same regardless of the aircraft. Not sure if it was this update or a late one but I get bad lag whenever I'm on someone's tail and closing in for the kill. It's so bad i often had to break off. Then there's the ridiculous match making happening now. Historical enemies are now allies. I'm assuming that they did this in order to have more matches available, but they need to mix it up more. I'm loving the Mig 3-15 (bk) now, but 99% of the time I get put up against a U.S and Japan tag-team. There are usually no heavy bombers for me to attack and everything can out maneuver me. Still fun, but prefer going up against proper enemies of the Russians.
Yes the lag and the mixed match making is really killing the experience this update. Sadly i feel this is going to be the new norm - they've added so many Nations and vehicles its the only way they can keep the match making going. Not to mention it promotes faster games which encourages more grinding and equals more premium players (premium money) for Gaijin. Another argument is they've moved to mixed to help Allies get more wins but from where i'm looking its still Axis VS Allies for the most part just Germany and Japan mixed so i'm not sure where they got that idea from. Besides since when has Gaijin ever cared about balance its always about the Premium currency and making money you just have to look deeper to get the full picture. Game is still fun but as you've already said you can no longer use you're planes strength in its proper capacity.

I tried these controls in air rb for a good while but just can't hack it, I learnt to play on mouse and keyboard an me brain can't handle the switch to controller
currently test flying with most of the settings on screen (only differences are not activating some things due to new settings that weren't shown so really no difference) and im loving it
hey I fixed your mappings. Mostly by switching the aim joysticks with the steering. I like to map R1 for minimum value thrust/engine on tanks, and R2 for maximum value, because then it feels a lot like old gta. I put primary fire on L1 and Secondary on L2 For planes, thrust R1/R2, Roll left joystick left-right, Pitch right joystick up-down, and yaw right joystick left-right, Square and Circle. I switched from mouse aiming to simplified because I want to aim by maneuvering, but I understand how you do it... I just don't like having a separate aim reticle that the plane tries to constantly correct to, and I prefer tying my vision to the plane's nose and not to a separate reticle.
Honestly I've been using these controls now for a bit and I have never been better at Air RB now then when I wasn't using these controls I have now aced almost my entire Japanese line of tier 2 plane's
I've just jumped back into war thunder and I'm glad that someone has taken the time to go into detail about the controls cos I look at them all and I'm like how the hell to I make this work for xbox lol
Gave it a shot, but simply doesnt work for my "FPS control" brain. Primarily play WT on PC and was attempting to find a good build to play in bed from my PS5. I love a lot of your principals though, and it opened my eyes to some options. Thank you for taking the time to make the video and share even though they don't work for me!
@@DailyPodcastDose1yeah, i went back to default controls with a few little edits to them and i just accept that i need to get better and different controls won’t do that for me
@@james_wilton223i’ve used these controls for almost a year and they work great for me. I think it’s just the matter of getting used to it, that and personal preference of course.
Thank u soooo much, i accidentally deleted my controls and i was Just bombing but couldnt dogfight, wth this video i recorevered my settings wich were almost the same than yours and now i can dogfight again! THANK U
perfect settings I finally manage to play on a plane I didn't understand why the guys shot so fast now I understand ^^ thank you very much!! Merci beaucoup 😊
bro this settings are on extra extra extra hard mod i feel like im controling a real fcking tank its crazy but its work very very well, i apriciate the alot of work that you do mate❤ all the setting are recomended if you use to it
This is so helpful. I have Lear’s much from your videos. I’m grateful to you for making them. Any chance you will update this controller video for 2022?
Glad to hear it! I'm taking a break from War Thunder currently playing DayZ and other games for a change but i will always come back to War Thunder. Possibly early to late spring i'll put some new War Thunder content out there.
Question: what is the purpose of “Weapon Lock Air/Ground” I don’t have it binded and I’ve never needed to use it to fire a missile. I’ve always just used the fire secondary to do everything. Thanks!
I mainly play tanks. And so my biggest issue, is the sensitivity during aiming! While trying to aim just right, the mouse player already has me targeted, and am now dead! So frustrating.
@M Aguiar I've got Control Freaks. But sadly they keep popping off, especially right when I need them to work, LOL. What I need, is the right settings to allow fast turret turns when needed. But a way to slow down the crosshair when trying to make small, tiny movements. So need good suggestions on setting the gamepad acceleration, as well as the setting for I think linear movements?
I still use the same controls just bare in mind the mouse look camera activation is bugged currently its very slow to look around so you might want to revert to using the standard view in battle camera
@@DrkDeath5000 appreciate the reply, do you have a discord or some group going wouldn't mind playing some games with other people? Ive joined a ton of discords and facebook groups, all dead with hardly anyone answering any comments or messages
@DrkDeath5000 what should I assign my " enable axis " to for view in battle - ground x-axis ? Down button was the original key but now it brings up the map? Any help would be appreciated ?
This is so stupid, it should be up to the game dev to work all of this out. IL2 sturmovik was the predecessor to this game and that worked brilliantly on controller with default settings…
I play almost exclusively spits rn and the controls r solid. However I can’t seem to get a bomb sight for when I want to drop a single 250er late game you know? Just want to know how to get the bombing reticle
Thanks for your great work you are always amazing. 1 note to add tanks is really difficult to control with this setup i will switch between aiming and stearing
You get used to it after a while. The main reason I recommend going left stick for aiming is down to how the dpad is set up. You cant press up and down together or left and right together so if you inverted the sticks you would be losing out on two possible bindings. The way I have it set up currently you can switch between zoom and binoculars while aiming/moving and those extra bindings on X/triangle and square/circle are important if you plan to fit everything on the controller.
@@commanderknight9314 I would imagine so, its not so much the layout of the dpad thats the problem its more internal hardware related. The dpad itself is physically unable to register both up and down or left and right movements together only directional and horizontal presses are possible so 8-way opposed to the 12-way you get on the face buttons.
I recommend setting up the fire secondary weapons and select secondary weapon bindings. This will let you cycle through air missiles and air to ground. Add your missile lock to your regular lock-on button in my case this is L3 and fire. In most cases in air to air if the angle is right the missile will hit it's simple as. Air to ground is a little more difficult since you have to manually aim when you release.
That soooooo much better on PS! All games and their settings are better on PS. I left this (X)Shitbox forever. 4year gameplay with Warthunder(and other games) on Xbox and now I see why PS much better is. Thanks for the video! Anyway, the advice can be used well on all consoles except Xbox. A lot of setting options are not available on Xbox that are available on other consoles. It doesn't matter now, I still really enjoyed Warthunder and always finished the matches on the podium, now I can see that the game will be much more enjoyable and comfortable with PS.

Does anyone know why my game wont target in bino mode when i click RT to move the gun to where my bino is pointing it worked before then stopped reset controls and still NOTHINg!!!!
Leave the vehicle, reload guns, and toggle landing gear all have the same setting, will this cause problems in game? Edit 2: Also what should Xbox players do about the “x axis - view in battle” setting 29:44
Theres a delay with the leave vehicle so you can generally get away with the same bindings. Landing gear is just muscle memory if you need to reload tap twice to bring the gear back up. as long as your quick it wont cause a problem. X-axis view in battle is just a quality of life setting for PS4 players if you are on xbox it can safely be ingored (just make sure to set the min and max). Theres not much to gain anyway and in reality i prefer to use to the dpad for toggling the view since the gyro is inconsistent at best.
I use the old V1 extreme rate DIY paddle kit which comes with 4 paddles at the back. I have my bottom 2 paddles bound to rudder (square and circle) and the additional top 2 paddles I use for flaps (dpad left and right).
Quick question - I have artillery set to 'R1' on my PS4 - when I click 'R1' in a battle, it doesn't bring up the call artillery screen. Was wondering if anyone knows why?
I think I’ve messed something up with my controls by accident and don’t know how to fix it. Every time I pitch the plane it judders up and down and doesn’t turn in one smooth movement. Does anyone know how I can fix this without using the Instructer?? Thanks
Hi everyone..How can I set the plus to follow the sight or the circle. My son touched something and disturbed the sight. Now that I'm aiming with the sniper plus it has moved down and I can't hit the target. Why
Also I put my team chat on square and dpad left, general same thing but dpad down then there is a problem with having stats on cross + dpad right since my flaps would go to landing and snap so I switched it to square + dpad down
This is dumb I keep trying to go fly in test flight but my controls don’t work and it keeps locking me in 1st person saying that my yaw axis is broken. But I go into a regular match and they work fine. How do I fix this
I don’t know what I did wrong but on ground battle(tanks) I’m all the time on the hull aiming mode and I’m trying to put it on 3 person but can’t seem to find the option or setting
I just want to be able to fly using both joysticks without rebinding almost everything.. Why is this game like this why
Like GTA 5!

Not to mention the actual cost of PC hardware has sky rocketed since Covid to the point where its out of my reach so things would need to go back to some level of norm before i could even consider PC.
After watching this video, I decided to uninstall this game
currently doing these settings while watching this video rethinking my life's decisions
Nooo! 🫣
Why?
I tried these controls in air rb for a good while but just can't hack it, I learnt to play on mouse and keyboard an me brain can't handle the switch to controller
Yea i tried these controls but i think I will just buy nouse n keys for my box because this is too much lol
currently test flying with most of the settings on screen (only differences are not activating some things due to new settings that weren't shown so really no difference) and im loving it
You running these on jets yet?
@@jagass8669 no sir I just got to the tier 2 planes
@@chiefnug4098 ahh so I’m all alone up here at top tier with new controls it’s no fun 💀
@@jagass8669 I'm close lol
hey I fixed your mappings. Mostly by switching the aim joysticks with the steering.
I like to map R1 for minimum value thrust/engine on tanks,
and R2 for maximum value, because then it feels a lot like old gta.
I put primary fire on L1 and Secondary on L2
For planes, thrust R1/R2, Roll left joystick left-right, Pitch right joystick up-down, and yaw right joystick left-right, Square and Circle.
I switched from mouse aiming to simplified because I want to aim by maneuvering, but I understand how you do it... I just don't like having a separate aim reticle that the plane tries to constantly correct to, and I prefer tying my vision to the plane's nose and not to a separate reticle.
Honestly I've been using these controls now for a bit and I have never been better at Air RB now then when I wasn't using these controls I have now aced almost my entire Japanese line of tier 2 plane's
That game is so fun but so long bro i just tryhard one week for pass my American aircraft on tier 2
I've just jumped back into war thunder and I'm glad that someone has taken the time to go into detail about the controls cos I look at them all and I'm like how the hell to I make this work for xbox lol
Gave it a shot, but simply doesnt work for my "FPS control" brain. Primarily play WT on PC and was attempting to find a good build to play in bed from my PS5.
I love a lot of your principals though, and it opened my eyes to some options. Thank you for taking the time to make the video and share even though they don't work for me!
There is a big difference in aiming sensitivity with the 1.3 multiplier on the x axis. Much slower than the 1.0 standard.
Why id this video so long i watched it and these controls suck
@@DailyPodcastDose1yeah, i went back to default controls with a few little edits to them and i just accept that i need to get better and different controls won’t do that for me
@@james_wilton223i’ve used these controls for almost a year and they work great for me.
I think it’s just the matter of getting used to it, that and personal preference of course.
@@james_wilton223I’ve edited them slightly of course to suit me better.
Thank u soooo much, i accidentally deleted my controls and i was Just bombing but couldnt dogfight, wth this video i recorevered my settings wich were almost the same than yours and now i can dogfight again! THANK U
perfect settings I finally manage to play on a plane I didn't understand why the guys shot so fast now I understand ^^ thank you very much!! Merci beaucoup 😊
How
@@sefulEatClxps he just watch the video
You deserve 1 million subscribers … keep nice working and thank you very much you help me a lot love and respect from Iraq 🌹
Can you make an updated version of this for 2022 since they have the wing sweep mechanic now? Thanks in advance if you do
bro this settings are on extra extra extra hard mod i feel like im controling a real fcking tank its crazy but its work very very well, i apriciate the alot of work that you do mate❤ all the setting are recomended if you use to it
You may not read this, but can you play WT on ps4?
Yes
I agree man.
Thanks a lot you changed my game style
This is so helpful. I have Lear’s much from your videos. I’m grateful to you for making them. Any chance you will update this controller video for 2022?
Glad to hear it! I'm taking a break from War Thunder currently playing DayZ and other games for a change but i will always come back to War Thunder. Possibly early to late spring i'll put some new War Thunder content out there.
When you have to watch a video like this you know the game was made for pc only, thanks
Is there a way to turn off the missing controls notification whenever I start a match?
I just started yesterday idk sorry
Been using roller ball mouse and keyboard since war thunder came out. Trying to learn controllers for fun time with family and friends
Question: what is the purpose of “Weapon Lock Air/Ground” I don’t have it binded and I’ve never needed to use it to fire a missile. I’ve always just used the fire secondary to do everything. Thanks!
This has to be the most PlayStation control setup ever
I mainly play tanks. And so my biggest issue, is the sensitivity during aiming! While trying to aim just right, the mouse player already has me targeted, and am now dead! So frustrating.
@M Aguiar I've got Control Freaks. But sadly they keep popping off, especially right when I need them to work, LOL.
What I need, is the right settings to allow fast turret turns when needed. But a way to slow down the crosshair when trying to make small, tiny movements. So need good suggestions on setting the gamepad acceleration, as well as the setting for I think linear movements?
You can mess with the aim acceleration setting. They help you make fine adjustments while also being able to spin around quickly.
Man I LOVE rebinding my entire controls scheme
Fr dude it is so mucho fun wasting minutes or hours on this
I'm using mouse aim on series s, but I have pitch and roll set to the left stick instead of the shoulder buttons
Do these controls still cover everything in 2023 or have you adjusted some things ? great video, liked and subbed.
I still use the same controls just bare in mind the mouse look camera activation is bugged currently its very slow to look around so you might want to revert to using the standard view in battle camera
@@DrkDeath5000 appreciate the reply, do you have a discord or some group going wouldn't mind playing some games with other people?
Ive joined a ton of discords and facebook groups, all dead with hardly anyone answering any comments or messages
@DrkDeath5000 what should I assign my " enable axis " to for view in battle - ground x-axis ? Down button was the original key but now it brings up the map?
Any help would be appreciated ?
This is so stupid, it should be up to the game dev to work all of this out. IL2 sturmovik was the predecessor to this game and that worked brilliantly on controller with default settings…
Agreed. Its partly why i've stopped updating these videos in hope that Gaijin see's some sense and starts actually improving controller support.
How do you do the RETURN RCONTROL + RETURN 7:53
You need a keyboard attachment plugs into the headphone port or you should be able to use any regular full size keyboard that has usb
Thx this helped a lot thx lover ur channel
this guy dosent read his comments bro
and makes like 4 videos a year otherwise i would sub
The airplane controls are basically perfect but for me the tank ones - not so much, but each to their own
I play almost exclusively spits rn and the controls r solid. However I can’t seem to get a bomb sight for when I want to drop a single 250er late game you know? Just want to know how to get the bombing reticle
Spits don't have a bomb sight so that would be why you can't find it.
Thank you so much this video was so helpful,wayy more turn all the other RUclips videos thank you 💯‼️
Thanks for your great work you are always amazing. 1 note to add tanks is really difficult to control with this setup i will switch between aiming and stearing
You get used to it after a while. The main reason I recommend going left stick for aiming is down to how the dpad is set up. You cant press up and down together or left and right together so if you inverted the sticks you would be losing out on two possible bindings. The way I have it set up currently you can switch between zoom and binoculars while aiming/moving and those extra bindings on X/triangle and square/circle are important if you plan to fit everything on the controller.
@@DrkDeath5000 Would this still apply to xbox, since the d-pad and left stick are switched inc comparrison to playstation?
@@commanderknight9314 I would imagine so, its not so much the layout of the dpad thats the problem its more internal hardware related. The dpad itself is physically unable to register both up and down or left and right movements together only directional and horizontal presses are possible so 8-way opposed to the 12-way you get on the face buttons.
@@DrkDeath5000 Thanks.
This is fucking shit on an Xbox controller. Fucking terrible.
Hello, how do I use ground to air missiles using ps4 controller and also air to ground, it's so confusing for me and I cant fix it, please help.😤
I recommend setting up the fire secondary weapons and select secondary weapon bindings. This will let you cycle through air missiles and air to ground. Add your missile lock to your regular lock-on button in my case this is L3 and fire. In most cases in air to air if the angle is right the missile will hit it's simple as. Air to ground is a little more difficult since you have to manually aim when you release.
I used the tanks setting and the first time I was tested it out it made me look backwards
Press x
Lol I should not be laughing these hard
Took me 3 days to get used to them now i kick absolute ass in air br tnx man!
Drk, just want to ask you why you don't set up for the 'view in battle' controls? It is useful when you want to check your six and maybe look around.
I was wondering the same thing.
@@rseagrave18 I find the mouse look better since it resets back to center automatically.
@@DrkDeath5000 Ooh, I hadn't thought of that, good idea, I'll give it a try.
That soooooo much better on PS! All games and their settings are better on PS. I left this (X)Shitbox forever. 4year gameplay with Warthunder(and other games) on Xbox and now I see why PS much better is. Thanks for the video! Anyway, the advice can be used well on all consoles except Xbox. A lot of setting options are not available on Xbox that are available on other consoles. It doesn't matter now, I still really enjoyed Warthunder and always finished the matches on the podium, now I can see that the game will be much more enjoyable and comfortable with PS.
I saw the guide and immediately deleted the game 😂
Do you plan on updating this guide to account for all the stuff that has changed?
Thank you sir I appreciate the time and effort you out into these videos
I didn't expect the first clip to be a rocket kill
Expect the unexpected especially if it's me 😂
@@DrkDeath5000 well I didnt expect a reply from you to a comment in a 1 year old vid

I subscribed because u helped me understand the other the other half I couldn't appreciate it man
fuck this game, deleting it.
Don’t do it
@@T34-Tank-Commander-Volkovyea i didn’t
@@fakedoozytv36 good, let the snail infect your mind
I've said this many times lol
😂😂😂
Awesome stuff. I just started playing with my son. Couldnt get through the guided bomb tutorial because my control wasn't assigned.
Sería de gran ayuda que alguien hiciera un video así en español 😢😭 o que lo traduzcan por que es muy difícil leer y ver que selecciona al mismo tiempo
Best video on yt
How do I guide missiles on a controller
YESS THANK U I JUST DROPPED A 4 BOMB WITH THESE
Can you do an updated video for your options and some changes you've probably made throughout the year
I'll try and get on it soon got a lot going on at the moment but i want to say i'll definately have something up in the next few weeks.
Thank you so much for this video!!!
This video helped my flying so much!!!
Can you do a more updated control setup since more things have been added
this video was so helpful thank you👍
One problem I’ve noticed on Xbox is in air rb the game gets really laggy sometimes. It’ll drop down to 20fps as soon as I engage an enemy
I enjoy this game but it has a huge learning curve and it seems like there's a lot of grinding to get to the good hardware.
Could you make a updated version?I can’t find another video that got posted in the past 4 months
I will do an updated video at some point but not for a while the game is just too broken in the current state
Does anyone know why my game wont target in bino mode when i click RT to move the gun to where my bino is pointing it worked before then stopped reset controls and still NOTHINg!!!!
Great work, supernice!
Leave the vehicle, reload guns, and toggle landing gear all have the same setting, will this cause problems in game?
Edit 2: Also what should Xbox players do about the “x axis - view in battle” setting
29:44
Need to know the same thing
Theres a delay with the leave vehicle so you can generally get away with the same bindings. Landing gear is just muscle memory if you need to reload tap twice to bring the gear back up. as long as your quick it wont cause a problem.
X-axis view in battle is just a quality of life setting for PS4 players if you are on xbox it can safely be ingored (just make sure to set the min and max). Theres not much to gain anyway and in reality i prefer to use to the dpad for toggling the view since the gyro is inconsistent at best.
When I zoom while I'm using the the tank it instantly starts going forward and I can't stop it.
Why?
Check your bindings. My guess would be you mixed up zoom and throttle.
Dude trying to fly a helo with default control s was a pain in the butt thanks.
Thanks for this i saw instant improvement on my part I'm getting kills now
Glad to hear it enjoy 👍
How do I connect my controller?
Mine randomly disconnected from the game and I have no idea how to switch back
You probably ain't going to see this but what did u find your paddles to and how many of paddles do have
I meant bind not find
I use the old V1 extreme rate DIY paddle kit which comes with 4 paddles at the back. I have my bottom 2 paddles bound to rudder (square and circle) and the additional top 2 paddles I use for flaps (dpad left and right).
Quick question - I have artillery set to 'R1' on my PS4 - when I click 'R1' in a battle, it doesn't bring up the call artillery screen. Was wondering if anyone knows why?
I think I’ve messed something up with my controls by accident and don’t know how to fix it. Every time I pitch the plane it judders up and down and doesn’t turn in one smooth movement. Does anyone know how I can fix this without using the Instructer?? Thanks
Hi everyone..How can I set the plus to follow the sight or the circle. My son touched something and disturbed the sight. Now that I'm aiming with the sniper plus it has moved down and I can't hit the target. Why
Is there gonna be a 2022 control vid?
Should be coming at some point later this year possibly late July end of August when I get more time
@@DrkDeath5000 Cool
What is Just could not found is,
How can i ame tank atgm in realistic battle, because in arcade i can direct the atgm but not in realistic.
Also I put my team chat on square and dpad left, general same thing but dpad down then there is a problem with having stats on cross + dpad right since my flaps would go to landing and snap so I switched it to square + dpad down
This is dumb I keep trying to go fly in test flight but my controls don’t work and it keeps locking me in 1st person saying that my yaw axis is broken. But I go into a regular match and they work fine. How do I fix this
I don’t know what I did wrong but on ground battle(tanks) I’m all the time on the hull aiming mode and I’m trying to put it on 3 person but can’t seem to find the option or setting
