War Thunder Sim Guide #2 - Control Setup, Keybindings & Improving Your Accuracy

Ойындар

Hey Everyone,
Welcome back to our simulator tutorial series. Today we will discuss how to set up dedicated control profiles, optional keybindings, flight stick calibration & some advice on how to improve your accuracy by adjusting the in game settings of your hardware (axis sensitivity, non-linearity etc). If you are only here for a specific topic, I have put timestamps in the comments section below.
I've done my best to keep these videos as simple as possible, and to keep jargon to a minimum so as to help those who do not speak English as a first language :)
I hope this video helps, especially for any new players to simulator battles. Feel free to comment with any questions or suggestions below!

    Can you do one of these for tank and ship controls using keyboard and mouse? Many of the tank control fields were empty when I installed WT and I'm really not sure which of the empty control fields should be mapped and what to map them to. Also, can a tank be controlled with flight stick instead of using a keyboard. My flight stick has 36 buttons, switches, dials, etc. so I would have no problem finding a home on my flight stick for every key that's mapped on a keyboard for controlling tanks.

    @@TeaRexChannel I have the VKB space sim stick and it is the best stick I have ever used. they are really high end. I highly recommend that one because it works for all sorts of games very well where the MCG doe not works well with anything that's not atmospheric flight as well due to not having a twist. If you have any questions feel free to ask at any time and keep up the amazing content. I am trying to use your videos to get into sim gameplay in War Thunder but have no one who likes sim so this is how I'm learning.
