I hate Air but still want jets

[Kiwoeoe]

Soooooo does anyone know what to do the main thing is that i hate you fly 2-3 mins just to get shot down in 2 sec... and arcade goes way to long

[Blinksterr]

Why on Earth would you want jets if you hate Air?

Welcome to airthunder. Get used to it. I grinded once up to just before the jets. I started to hate it how the main tactic became "fly high and dive on others" you are a bomber? You dead. I cant figure out why bombers are ao expensive to repair in wt. In my time, when they just added bases to bomb, they were a useless pick. A wasted slot. Every fighter with a little bit of cannon ripped right through you.

Jets are really not much different from props, just faster and thats the most of it.

in realistic 4 heavy bombers can end the game before they can even be intercepted on some maps/BRs, and before the limit of 4 was introduced you could get entire teams of them meaning if you didnt kill most of the enemy team in the first 5 minutes you lost, and then there is sim where the US heavy bomber spam used to maintain 100% winrates, even now its still around 70%.

on that note, seriously bombers in sim are the most reliable and utterly boring way of grinding in warthunder

Bombers in sim are the bane of my existence. They should not have a third person camera nor the ability to control the gunners, no way.

I guess you could use your planes in tank RB, but really other than that you gotta play props to get to jets. But I'll say this again. Jets aren't all that. It's high speed, mostly head on combat, with little room for actual maneuvers besides turning around.

[StingerRPG]

You know that ♥♥♥♥ sounds as stupid like "I hate women but I like me some ♥♥♥♥♥"?

You want a less rewarding but probably easier way to go up you play GF RB and take down anything in the sky. Otherwise suck it up and fly.

Not to mention you will absolutely hate jets if you're rushing from the prop to jet age due to the extreme difference to how they fly.

cuz jets are cool and the meta is different and for tank RB but prop RB is just cancer and everybody can aim perfect but me sure..

If you think aiming is easier in jets, you're very wrong. Those with perfect aim in props are only pretty good in jets, those who were mediocre or bad in props, good luck hitting anything. You will hate it even more than props since the meta is the same for jets as it is with props. Energy fighting.

Said like someone who has played jets. Props are more entertaining to fly, but if you want to find out if you like jets, go for it, just don't rush them too fast, or you're gonna be shot down really quick. Once you get your first jet, make a post and I can give you some tips on it.

Jet combat is arguably the most intense combat, if you don't mind going into a dogfight, which most engagement last for 20s on average, and making your heart race, then jets is your thing. Other than that, props is a the one, it's a joy, easy going and dosen't let you get a heart attack :P

For me it's mostly been headons, both roll away, one of us climbs to alt, one team swarms him, kills him, rinse and repeat. Though I recently got the F-84G, that thing is honestly hilarious at stock, I outrun F-84Bs and everything that fights me, the 50 cals tear a new one to any plane I get behind.

If you ask me, top tier jet combat is way different from early prop. By this time, jets aren't as maneuverable, and you rely mostly on keeping up speed and trying to get on someone's 6 when they don't see you.

I don't know, I used to also drool over jets before I finally got to them. You really won't understand it until you get a jet, but they arent' as fun as props right now. Don't rush, enjoy the game.

Well to be fair a good majority of Jets are useless except for a few stellar planes.

Not to mention that the grind to unlock even the garbage jets is face meltingly long.
