One way I've found to easily determine whether or not an aircraft is AI or not is to see if the wing vortices come up in a tight turn. If they do they are a player and if they don't its an AI.
@@involuntarycommander8804 hahaha I had a SS where shoji and ryo were turnfighting at 10km at prestall speed. I they removed from the fórum hahaha. But the worst was the way they flyed was só stupud hahaha
Spitfires seem so fun, i fly SIM with P-51's and P-38's mainly and i do pretty well with them, with those planes dogfights a good idea only in very certain circumstances. Nice flying!
I agree that the p51 and p38 require you to choose which fight to pick. They are nice planes. I am a bit scared of not being able to recover from a dive in the p38 though ^^ takes practise I guess.
@@involuntarycommander8804 lol yeah, i Have crashed because of The P-38 compression like once or twice and i Have played The game For 7 years now. But that feeling when you realise you cannot recover anymore still haunts me haha Usually 720km/h redline is fast enough For most situations And with good manouvering i seldom find myself Limited For it. And i loooove The P-38's guns, i snipe bombers far away
Please make more war thunder sim videos! I enjoy them a lot! A quick question though. Have you done anything specific with your graphics settings to be able to spot people easier? I find it impossible to spot and keep track of people, especially if Im up high.
Hey man, I appreciate it! Now I got encouraged to make more. Thanks! Sadly, I have no special settings to help with spotting. I only use the highest quality settings. Don't know if that helps. Spotting from up high is tricky on "land maps" where low flying aircraft can blend in amongst the trees. I look for tracers and close to ground targets and always fly to capture A point if I want action. 😀
The contols for the Spitfire need to be restrained a bit to be managed I've noticed. But when set properly the spitfire is hard to beat in a dogfight! Totally worthwhile to learn!
Hi Commander, i really like your video, keep it up the good work, you are awesome! Just wondering can you please upload a profile/configuration for your trackIR? Yours feels so much better and more natural than mine, and i don't really know how to properly adjust my own figure...
Like because you fly the spitfire so good. Man i am jealous i cant fly that airplane. All the time that i must turn rate fight i go into flatspin. Its the only airplane that gives me so much hard time. Question do you use sense of flight and if yes how much?
It is a tricky aircraft to learn. But when you know how to control it properly, it is deadly. I can give you a tip, adjust your pitch sensitivity so that you cannot flatspin in that particular plane and save the setting. Good luck to you. Also, I'm releasing a new video on the spitfire soon!
@@involuntarycommander8804 Ma dude you are right...i increase a bit the deadzone and reduced a lot from what i had the pitch sensetivity and now it is like im flying a new airplane. Still it is different from the US planes im used to fly but you right the moment you get behind them these 2 20cannons are no joke. I cant wait for your new video with the spitfire.
Try to reduce the pitch sensitivity a bit. Use test flight to set the sensitivity so that you can apply full pitch without loosing control. Remember that this might affect your ability to recover from a steep dive. Also it's some muscle memory involved and you can feel the aircraft shake when it is about to stall. I hope this answer helps you in taming the spitfire;)
@@involuntarycommander8804 Me to honestly but I found dogfights with full fuel tank to hard when I'm facing Japanese planes. I'm using Plagis Spit. I can see even a difference between a dogfight with 15 min of fuel vs a dogfight with 5 min of fuel in maneuverability. Still, it requires one to be extremely cautious when deciding on where to fly and how to manage power in a plane and sometimes can end in finishing a dogfight with 00:30 sec of fuel left -.-
@mariusz5938 yeah I guess I have had to many close calls with fuel time. Kinda stresses me out :) Also in the spitfire you kinda get to choose if you want to dogfight a zero or not since you can outrun them in my experience. Another factor is the skill of the opponents. If I know an enemy is very skilled I might reduce the fuel I bring just to give myself the best chances :) if less skilled opponents I might increase fueltime in order to kill more opponents in one single flight. Interesting question, ty :)
I use 400m to be able to take shots from further away for aircraft with wing mounted guns. I don't remember what vertical targeting is, could you remind me? :)
@Arthur Black & Red yes. It is the name of the head tracking device. I've had mine for years and it works really well. I will probably buy a VR headset within a year or two or when I know they're good.
@@involuntarycommander8804 im the same idk why but it feels like alot of wind is pushing really hard on the nose of spits and make it feel unstable in flight a little, other planes dont do that spits feel horrible idk why

Good call! I guess the AI tend to fly more energy efficient.
@@involuntarycommander8804 10 years ago AI would climb to 10km in biplanes. Was funny as hell XD
@crlourenco88 haha what really. Glad they fixed that. Would be annoying as hell to go up there just to find out its an AI

@anttitheinternetguy3213 shallow dives from now on for me hehe. Yeah, the nose mounted armaments are perfect for bomber hunting ^^

@@involuntarycommander8804 Ok I gotcha. I dont know, maybe I just need glasses I guess😄
the new wing effects are glorious
Yeah, they look awesome and help with spotting enemies!
the mic quality takes me back to 2010s. love it
bro the spitfires for me feel too floaty in the air like they just feel mushy in sims
Yeah, it takes a bit of getting used to them. Really sensitive elevator.
2:35 I agree, fuel makes you heavy, Spitfire should be out-turning those 109s in a Dogfight.
I guess the flight models of Spitfires is only screwed up if I fly them. I took out the Mk XVIIIe the other day and it was completely uncontrollable.
The contols for the Spitfire need to be restrained a bit to be managed I've noticed. But when set properly the spitfire is hard to beat in a dogfight! Totally worthwhile to learn!
Set non-linearity to 1.7 and they fly fine

Thanks man! Since you asked so nicely, I just made a video about it today. It's gonna go up this evening:)
whats your hotas setup, do u have a rudder also?

@@AndreasNK I'm glad it helped! :)
This is very fun to watch. Superb flying!
What is your setup by the way?
Thanks man! :)
I use a TrackIR and HOTAS
@InvolunaryCommander Wonderig if you use joystick or mouse aim?
I use a joystick and throttle.
How I miss the Old gun sounds
Nice flying man!
How do you turn so hard without loosing control of your plane, every time I try to turn hard I loose control

@@involuntarycommander8804 thank you! Still playing with mouse and keyboard but I’m starting to get the hang of it
@@TheCrayonCrusaderOG you'll get the hang of it in no time :)
What are your stick settings?
you are dogfighting with 30 minutes of fuel?? o.0
Yes ^^
It's a pretty big map and I'm to lazy to go back and refuel all the time :)

What set up do you use for sim? What joystick? Are you playing with VR or track IR?
I fluy with Saitek/logitech x55 Hotas and TrackIR :)
Awesome
the pilot
whats gun convergence u use usually and d u use vertical targeting ?
I use 400m to be able to take shots from further away for aircraft with wing mounted guns. I don't remember what vertical targeting is, could you remind me? :)
@@involuntarycommander8804 its that option that does something to that weapon thingy 😬
I don't think I use it :)
That is so impressive
what trim?
-9 elevator
Are you using headtracking?
Yes. TrackIR
@@involuntarycommander8804 what is that? the name of the device?
@Arthur Black & Red yes. It is the name of the head tracking device.
I've had mine for years and it works really well. I will probably buy a VR headset within a year or two or when I know they're good.
Damn I found the spitfires difficult to fly In sim I was using mouse and keyboard tho
It's all about the trim and control setup! Maybe I should make a video on this...
@@involuntarycommander8804 Yeah please help
