Single Player Dynamic Campaign Question, My flying, and Review

[micahsj]

Hello All,

I just have a question the single player dynamic campaign. Is there a way to save your progress in between missions because everytime I play a mission and then quit the campaign my progress is not saved?

Oh, and by the way for those of you all who may have noticed my flying in my few multiplayer battles in which I got shot down I was I guess was a little embarrased at my flying and concencentration. I guess I'm maybe not much of a multiplayer type of person, although I wished I was. Anyway it was still fun. I was using the realistic settings because I want to try and get as much as I can that real life experience flying.

And here is my review on War Thunder. I think the game is a lot of fun. I mean you get to fly and control all types of aircraft, tanks, and ships in a variety of historical battles on realistic settings. And the graphics and sounds, and music are good too. Right now I'm into flying aircraft on the USA side. I'm more of a single player type person, but would like to involve myself more into multiplayer if I can have more confidence in my abilities as a pilot and not look rediculus flying my aircraft. I have a good flightstick, the Thrustmaster T Flight Hotas X.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

if you have a flightstick you can do well in Simulator Battles. however if you're playing Arcade or Realistic you'll be at a disadvantage vs mouse+kb players.

and yeah oddly enough "realistic" is less realistic than simulator..

no clue on dynamic campaign since never really played it

Thanks Captai Spacetime for the reply. OKay I will try the Simlulator multiplayer battles and see how I do.

Dynamic Campaigns don't save.

As mentioned above definitely don't use a stick for realistic, everyone uses keyboard and mouse controls there. It's a lot easier.

Thanks again for the other replies and helpful info. Regarding the dynamic campaigns it would be good though if there was a save after every mission in case you can't complete the whole campaign at once, as there is in the historical campaigns.

the dynamic campaign is no longer actively develloped that's perhaps why

You might also want to try out the mission editor for creating quick missions, you can find the mission editor in the Testflight menu.
It's very usefull for setting up practice sorties against Bots and with todays update the mission editor is even better than before.

As already mentioned if you want to use a flightstick SB is the way to go but you definetly want to get a little bit of practice in testflights before jumping into a online match.
Almost everyone will crash a few times before being able to takeoff on SB settings.
The AB/RB Autopilot system is deactivated in SB, so you will have to counter effects like propeller slipstream, engine torque, gun recoil, stalls and spins, don't worry it's not as hard as it sounds.

If you think that SB is the right mode for you, you should also consider some sort of head tracking solution for camera control (or even better VR).
Nowadays Headtracking can be very inexpensive thanks to the free Opentrack Software and cheap DIY Tracking Clips.

TaumelScheibe, thanks too for your help and advice. I did try out the simulator battles this morning in multiplayer. I was flying a P-40. I did manage to take off in my P-40 and drop a few bombs on a carrier, didn't sink it though, then I tried to intercept a bomb group but was shot down. I think it's my situational awareness. I'll try to maybe get one of those track IR. The battles were fun though.

Just a quick thing. Carriers will not sink with just a bombload from a P-40. Generally, a Carrier sinks when you drop at least 2 metric tons worth of bombs on it.

Rei [Pwner], thanks for the quick tip on bombing carriers. I just ordered the Natural Point Track IR from Amazon.com. I was looking at the Track IR website and noticed it is also compatible with ARMA 3 and IL2 Battle Of Stalingrad, which are also great games too.
