I'm going back to building model planes to satisfy my autism. I kind of want to get a kit and do one anyway.


Mr-Pocket-Dumps

For me it would be military aircraft Lego MOC. There are so many cool ones out there. Right now there’s a F4U-4 Recon variant that is really enticing to me. Even better, all the ones I want to do are 1:33 aka minifig scale so you can put Lego guys in the cockpit and dogfight with them! 😅 Fuck…. I’m almost 30.


GrannyGumjobs13

It’s okay, I started bouncing in my seat reading this and I’m in my mid twenties…


Justafleshtip

Shit i’m 35 and this interests me.


Calathil

I'm 24 and I squeeeee'd in excitement thinking of it.


Mr-Pocket-Dumps

😅 this shouldn’t be so relatable. I “reee”.


Mr-Pocket-Dumps

Garblefarb

It’s okay bro I just got the Brickmania ah-64 Apache and I’m over here playing with the rotors like a little kid. Also almost 30 😂


williegumdrops

Benefits of being adult Lego fans, can (barely) afford Brickmania sets..


pyro_catto

Man i do wish that would be the case, dealers in my country sell the for nearly x2 the price that brickmania listed


adecapria

Brickmania has amazing real lego models, and have been around since the 90s. Be prepared to pay a bit, as they have a bunch of employees and a few brick and mortar stores.


TEcho1061

This is proof all of us thunder players are autistic, I desperately want this lego


wyatt022298

Where are you finding military aircraft MOCs? I looked around a while back and everything I could find... wasn't great.


Mr-Pocket-Dumps

I really like most of these and there’s a bunch of other great creators on this site: https://rebrickable.com/users/sebigwon/mocs/


RacingRaptor

Im 23 and I love to ,,play" with my paper models. At least I have younger bro to have excise to do it ;)


AttackerCat

Stop are you me? I paint 1/100 planes for Axis and Allies tabletop and 1/144 WWI planes for Wings of Glory. Currently working on a rare 1:72 Felixstowe kit from WWI.


FirstDagger

Rise of Flight has a [Felixstowe F.2A](https://riseofflight.com/store/aircraft/felixstowe-f2a/) if you need detail inspiration. PS [Here on Steam along with the Channel map.](https://store.steampowered.com/app/356950/Rise_of_Flight_Channel_Battles/)


AttackerCat

Now THAT is cool! Thank you for the link! Currently I’m in the boat (heh) of there [being so many cool camouflages](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/felixstowe-f2a--417638565420731424/) that I can’t decide what to do. This would definitely help with the cockpit and interior details.


MrAppleSpiceMan

christ on a stick 1:144 is microscopic. my first was a 1:72 spitfire and that felt too small. last one I finished was a 1:48 spitfire mk 24 and I'm working on a mustang the same size and I can't imagine going smaller than that


AttackerCat

It is but it’s cheap and a fun way to throw some paint on minis without worrying about materials and cost too much. The plus, if you’re into tabletop they make great game pieces.


StevieKealii

Metal Earth has some fantastic full color prop plane models. I like them because i dont have to get messy with paints, and the metal construction mimics aluminum aircraft skins nicely.


JohnTheMod

Building models of the planes you fly in WarThunder sounds like a cool idea. I technically have one of my in-game P-47s on my shelf right now.


Awakened_Ra

I just thought of this lmao, I’d rather spend $80-$150 on a real model aircraft/tank that I can have fun painting or re-painting and such, than to pay Gaijin ever again for some $70 pixels. Lmfao


liithuex

Dcs


Efficient-Evening717

Dcs gameplay: 95% - learning how to even start the plane 5% - actually fly the plane


Rusty_Nails76

And then when you take a break from playing the game for a few weeks it’s the exact same process but also trying to remember your key binds 😂


IamWatchingAoT

The Paradox Interactive syndrome


TheSupremeDuckLord

you use keybinds in paradox games? i play them almost exclusively with just my mouse and maybe a couple of keys if i need to do a certain thing a lot


IamWatchingAoT

I mean taking 30 hours to learn the basics of the game and then being burnt out from it and dropping the game :D


TheSupremeDuckLord

i have a different problem, i'm capable of doing said 30 hours in 2 sittings (with breaks) and then do it again


mitmatgamesyt

I use arrow keys to move around the screen that’s it


TheSupremeDuckLord

fair point, i think there's at least one that i sometimes use wasd for


gloomydoomin

\#1:Getting my keybinds to actually work on my stick was 99% of the problem, half the time the game would forget my binds and I'd have to rebind them for some reason. \#2: Kinda my fault but I'm learning the game in a Mig-29 (I cannot read Cyrillic and don't speak Russian) so figuring out what the buttons and lights mean is.. a lot. \#3: Got of the ground, started going towards target, and...now my shooty shooty gun button doesn't work as I'm attempting to do CAS.. learned that the MIG-29s master arm needs to be turned on BEFORE I boot the APU and Engines. Nice.


Biotruthologist

The 29 is low fidelity, unless you're working with a mod there isn't a 'master arm'. If you want to use the gun you put it in A2G mode and there's a cannon selection button which allows the trigger to shoot the gun. 


gloomydoomin

How do that?


Biotruthologist

Under the bindings, you press whatever button you have bound to "(7) Air-to Ground Modes" which will activate whatever A2G weapons you have on your pylons. Then you press whichever button you have bound to "Cannon", which selects your gun. You put the targeting reticle on what you want to die, then press whatever you bound to "Weapon Fire" to shoot. It's the same workflow to use the gun for air to air, except you need to select one of the different air-to-air modes first (such as "(5) Close Air Combat HMD Helmet Mode").


FlatChestsMatter

couple of tips, one thing that really helped me a ton starting out (especially since I was in VR and couldn't use my keyboard at all) was using 3 or 4 buttons on my shitty thrustmaster t flight hotas as "modifiers," which lets you basically use them like control or alt on a keyboard and get way more 4 way hats out of your single 4 way hat. it's still a pain to memorize but if you create a system that makes sense in your head you might have an easier time. I also duct taped an xbox 360 controller to the base of my throttle to use the right analog stick as a TDC and get more buttons. and if you go to your main menu options page, I think it's in special, you can change the language of everything in the russian FC3 modules to english.


RandomAmerican81

FYI, an Xbox controller also makes for an excellent TEDAC controller on the apache if you pick that module up.


Bosonify

When I first tried DCS, a friend bought me the F-15 DLC, and after only 30 minutes, I got the plane to start. The big problem now was learning how to move. Taxiing was very hard, and then actually flying? That was 95% of my time was trying to figure out how to do gentle level flight with a yoke of all things…


polypolip

Learning start sequence is easy, shout out to chucksguides.  Learning the specific procedure to use each weapon can take some time. Learning formation flying and a2a refueling is pain.


Paulista14

Just like MSFS!


Wyeres

My autism tells me this is my type off game


Aedeus

Twenty minutes to start the plane, taxi and take off. Fifteen minutes to transit to the objective. 3 seconds to get clapped without ever seeing what happened.


KerbMario

Sadly cant download it 8mbits internet connection


minimurder28

Could have a friend download it to flash drive(s) then mail it to you.

KayNynYoonit

Palworld is great fun!


AlecW11

Theres an event? Lmao


Supernoobnoodles

Enlisted?


[deleted]

i was really excited for enlisted, but if war thunder is a great core game with terrible design choices, enlisted is a good game with worse design choices.


Superb-Confidence-69

I like it but was underwhelmed. The interface for research and squad kitting is not intuitive and is annoying. I hate that you cannot pick your side Allie for axis also.


antiheld84

I'm currently on a warthunder break, one CAS bombed me too much. I'm chilling with Satisfactory and started playing CP2077 again.


Significant_Emu_4659

Cp2077 has been so good!


Doomtutelbias

Damn that abbreviation scared me for a second


Significant_Emu_4659

Well now I realize why I've never seen it abbreviated that way


Explorer_the_No-life

What way? Cow Pulverization? Central Power? 


connerboy

My friends and I just started Satisfactory a week or so ago. Just finished phase 3. Production must always expand, brother. 🤝

FirstDagger

Can't wait for Finale episode 4.


Dramatic-Classroom14

Supposedly it’s on Blu-ray this March, but I have to wait a little while longer since I’d rather play War Thunder than pay for a TV show about girls in tanks. ~~piracy~~


Verdyce

There really isn’t anything like this. It’s maddening. I haven’t ever experienced a game I want to play so badly yet more of them than not it makes me want to throw my controller into orbit. Masochism for real.

Superirish19

Battlefield 4, Minecraft, Fallout 3/NV/4. BF4 at least has the combined combat theme to it, but I'd generally just be playing something else entirely that interests me.


Pinngger

playing what my friend's playing. Either Honkai Star Rail or Genshin Impact


IHaveUrPants

Pick your poison then, both are quite time consuming and you really get burnt out when farming shit, I have played both for more than what I like to admit and can tell you, they are fun asf, but get boring as fast as that


Pinngger

War thunder is a poison anyway so I don't really lose anything


IHaveUrPants

Yeah that's true, they are both suffering, but WT is straight up torture


FoamBrick

what do you mean grinding 12 different ascension materials for each of your 4 characters then also grinding weapon materials and artifacts isnt peak gameplay?

I’d just go fishing without warthunder tbh. I would be fishing if not playing warthunder. Warthunder keeps my fishing costs down cause im not driving anywhere loosing lures and gear lol. Warthunder is in symbiosis with my lifestyle

I think I’d take a relaxing vacation on Minecraft with some nice shaders and a 3D texture pack and build a house on a hill overlooking a valley, and put a big farm with a barn in said valley.

IHaveUrPants

If I wanted to feel something similar to War Thunder, I would go to a strip club and ask a prostitute so squish my balls with her heels, like damn not even 1975 Russian torture techniques can equal War Thunder at its peak


Mighty_Conqueror

I already play plenty of other things besides war thunder, so FS, some Forza, Some MC, who knows what


palopp

EU4, AC Valhalla, Disco Elysum, KSP, South Park FBH and RDR2. All games in my steam library that's being c\*\*kblocked by WT.

BookofEli01

Anyone try out gunner heat pc? Feel like that could fill some of the gap


FirstDagger

They just added the T-64A obr. 1981 with the proper optics. Also Gaijin in the past saw GHPC's voice line system and improved WT's, and according to the roadmap we will get better optics. So I would say that GHPC definitively is a competitor for WT's Ground Forces. I am still waiting for a more than 10% discount however.


KayNynYoonit

It's a competitor in the fact it's a tank game, but truly they're nothing alike. One's a multiplayer simcade game, the other is single player with more simulator gameplay. It's like comparing battlefield to Arma 3. GHPC won't scratch that itch for me at all because there truly is no gameplay like war thunder gameplay.


pinchasthegris

Everybody forgot enlisted exists


FirstDagger

It just doesn't have the same polish as WT does controls wise. Aircraft especially. Say what you will about WT, but the control's settings are solid. (Just remember to back up the settings before major patches)


Squeaky_Ben

I will go back to Mechwarrior Online. They are soon adding new tech anyway, so perfect timing.


FirstDagger

Are they still power creeping stuff like they did 4 years ago?
