10/10 opening, also if anyones struggling with getting kills stock you can murder light pilboxes and tanks easily with the Vulcan even with air target belts
That intro was amazing. Btw have you ever played Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Handgrenades? I just recently got into H3VR and i'm absolutely loving it. Defintely one of the best VR games on the market.
Great video, from a new subscriber! I really enjoy playing in the F-104, and found this video helpful! I am jealous of your VR though, as I play sim on the PS4, so I have to use a Rii mini I7 velcroed to my headset, and use a button on my controller to activate mouse look, in order to look around. It's the best I can hope for on a PS4 unfortunately. If you get the F-5E, I would love to see a video on that sometime 👍
Playing Sim with VR is the best thing in this game, too bad I broke my USB port so I cant run joystick plus VR until I get a hub. Anyhow its sad that the WT community doesn’t know how fun sim can be.
Your hud shows your radar IFF. So icons for aircraft will tell you what is a confirmed friendly. Usually a friendly aircraft is a triangle and a hostile is a triangle in a box or with two lines either side of it
I know that this is three years old so it might not be possible anymore, but how did he lock the gunsight forwards? For me it has this internal delay that makes lining up shots incredibly frustrating
Question mr Tearex. im considering getting vr for war thunder sim. My concern is visibility and quality. Would you say the oculus rift is a good buy? Furthermore, how its its positioning? Does it track your heads position well?. Thanks.
If you want clarity I believe the rift S offers the best resolution currently for oculus products. I recommend doing a lot of market research as there are good alternatives with HTC, HP etc and everyone has their own preference.
@@TeaRexChannel Thank you so much for the reply. I figured as much from your videos. I was looking through the $300 to $500 options and it seem like the rift S had the best feature set to price. Thank you for your input.
Definitely. Apparently it is possible to fly using the in-built virtual joystick (mouse-joy) and some have mastered it. However you will save yourself quite a bit of struggle by purchasing a decent joy. Especially if you are just starting with in-cockpit flying - there is enough struggle with fighting the opponents. Adding another struggle with just controlling your plane is....lets say experience not meant for faint-hearted. As a starter, I would really recommend TM16000. Not that expensive, while leaps and bounds ahead of old potentiometer based sticks. At least that was my experience, your mileage may vary of course. Basically any joy should be better than virtual one, be it in-built one or external.
Currently, I'm not going to spend my money, but I might consider it. I've just started in sim, and mousejoy is serving well enough as a bomber pilot. However, if I'm going to fly fighters, I need a stick, since dogfighting is hard enough.
Definitely, I just bought the Hotas 4 it’s great, set it up on war thunder, il2 bos, il2 1946 and it’s fucking awesome. With a ps4 controller I usually place in the top in sim battles but with this joystick there’s no looking back small adjustments are so much easier and you can make good use of your time on target. 100% recommend it
Do you still play arcade or are you solely a VR user? I'm thinking of getting back into WT after 4 years hiatus, now that I have vr i'm curious if that would make the grind more worth it lol
I rarely fly American planes, I really do not like them. In the nine years with WT American planes I never grew to like. Anyway, I am now researching the F-104 A. Turn? I took it out on a test flight and I could not get the plane to turn. I highly suggest avoid dog fighting at all costs.
I really like these WT vr sim battles, I can tell lots of effort goes into them 10/10
Irony
@@peanutbutterrabbit2129 what irony?
@@carti9248 war thunder puts no effort into sim battle
@@andrewruss5824 You know hes saying that the RUclipsr puts effort into his videos not talking about the snail.
@@dnfluffles772 no no, the irony is that wt youtubers put effort into their video and gaijin themselves dont
Enemy players be like “that’s that whistling noise” f104 “watch me BRRRRRRRT!!!”.
Intro was awesome, Can't say I'll ever try snd unlock this jet, may perform well but it looks like it belongs in a 1940s retro sci fi book.
Thats why its called "Starfighter" ^^
You’ll definitely wanna unlock it when the f16 is at the end of its branch lol
The cinematic needs to be at 11.3. It's too op for top tier
good lord that cinematic was just amazing, the song and editing was superb along with the gameplay
Loved the intro!
F104 has got to be one of the best planes for sim battle. Can't tell you how many times my speed has saved me
I reckon it's a pain in the ass to land though.
@@sethjansson5652 always, I hardly have a successful landing for some reason
That intro was FIRE 🔥
I have never had this much fun watching a F-104 video
this was great, well done!
I absolutely love that intro cinematic! so visually jampacked and wonderfull
I’ve been waiting for an f104a sim video for a fat minute. Thank you!!🔥
Thanks so much for your video, I just bought F104A and just loves it in VR. War thunder is such a good game to be played in VR.
Dude your cinematics are awesome! You put so much work into them!
wow man, the intro cinematic was stunning!
i love these types of videos
Awesome intro man! ✌️
Great video as usual. Excellent pilot. gg man. f9f-5 soon please.
I loooooooooved the music and intro in the vid! You should do more of these!
10/10 opening, also if anyones struggling with getting kills stock you can murder light pilboxes and tanks easily with the Vulcan even with air target belts
Hunter FGA.9 doesnt have Sraam, so dont be scared of the FGA.9. Great vid though!
intro was sweet ! love the double views too
That intro was amazing.
Btw have you ever played Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Handgrenades?
I just recently got into H3VR and i'm absolutely loving it.
Defintely one of the best VR games on the market.
I thoroughly enjoyed H3VR :)
Love the intro
locking them with radar is a good way to keep track on where they are going!

Could you try rge kikka?
How do you PID your targets?, I really want to get into sim with my A7D but all I can do efficiently is ground pound
Your hud shows your radar IFF. So icons for aircraft will tell you what is a confirmed friendly. Usually a friendly aircraft is a triangle and a hostile is a triangle in a box or with two lines either side of it
@@TeaRexChannel too sad that my A7D doesnt have a radar, I rely on trying to get behind the enemy to see what plane it is or spot it
f104a is quite maneuverable :D
Perhaps one day we'll get a sim update. Until then it'll just be bomber spam. F Tearannosaurus Rex
A Dinosaur can dream 🤣
Weirdly my cockpit has a yellow radar and not a green one.
I love that airplane
I know that this is three years old so it might not be possible anymore, but how did he lock the gunsight forwards? For me it has this internal delay that makes lining up shots incredibly frustrating
@timewaster504 what do you mean by locking the gunsight forwards? Do you mean zooming in quickly to the gunsight?
@TeaRex may I ask how much does it cost to spawn 104 in sim ec ?
Those edits tho

7 players killed, 7 bots killed, 1 death, 2 hours, a win on top of that, with premium, and all that just for 125k SL. This is a joke.
2 years ago that would have been 500k

putting money into war thunder is a mistake

I play EVERY game mode :)
can u explain how to change radar colour in cockpit ?
I don't think you can change the radar, do you mean the ticket colour?
@@TeaRexChannel the radar colour by my side its yellow and u its green i think or the reverse
Does the F-104s radar have IFF?
Yup!
@@TeaRexChannel sick I might give it a try in sim then.
Whats your opinion on the f104c ? Is it worth the 390k rp and 1mil sl buy amount?
F104C is definitely worth it
@@TeaRexChannel what are the differences with F104A ?
@@TeaRexChannel but can u explain why?
RUclips unsubscribed me. Hum.
I rarely fly American planes, I really do not like them. In the nine years with WT American planes I never grew to like. Anyway, I am now researching the F-104 A. Turn? I took it out on a test flight and I could not get the plane to turn. I highly suggest avoid dog fighting at all costs.
Hit and runs or very low and fast attacks?
Why do you say F104C get better missiles ? Its same missiles as F104A.
do you play dcs?
I do indeed. Now I have track IR I should be able to do videos for it. Just couldn't get the performance with VR sadly.
The only reason I sub is cuz he killed me in when I was in a bf 110 and featured it on one of his videos (grind problems 27:07)
Shaitzaaa!!!
*F-104A
And now it is unplayable basically.
