1 Minute of When DCS Players Go Back To War Thunder

Hi BPG! Before we jump into the action, a quick update — there is some exciting news coming soon. A sponsorship is officially in the works with an amazing company, and I can’t wait to share more in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for the announcement!

✈️ When DCS Players Go Back To War Thunder — Full Simulator Battle Compilation

Welcome to another high-intensity simulator battles video where Mellon and Potato take to the skies in War Thunder SIM mode, flying a mix of USA, Germany, and UK/Great Britain prop aircraft across BR 3.3 to 6.0. Even though we both regularly fly high-tier jets and helis all the way up to 14.0+, sometimes the most fun comes from jumping back into prop-driven dogfights where skill, energy management, and situational awareness matter more than anything.

This video is a collection of cinematic dogfights, cockpit-only views, and full-real-controls flying, showing what happens “When DCS Players Go Back To War Thunder.” If you’re a DCS World pilot who occasionally dips into War Thunder SIM for a more accessible multiplayer experience, you’ll 100% relate to the chaos, the physics differences, and the moments that make you go, “Yep… that would NEVER happen in DCS.”

🎮 DCS vs War Thunder — The Big Comparison (Explained While You Watch)

Since the theme of this video is When DCS Players Go Back to War Thunder, you’ll notice:

The flight models behave differently

You must adjust energy management compared to DCS

Situational awareness is harder without DCS’s radar tools

Prop torque, stalls, and spins feel more forgiving or exaggerated

War Thunder Sim has its own style of chaos that DCS simply doesn’t replicate

DCS players often return to War Thunder SIM battles to:

Get faster matchups

Fly a wider range of WW2 aircraft

Experience large-scale battles with dozens of players

Enjoy cockpit flying without needing a full DCS-level setup

Just have chaotic fun

This video is meant to highlight that exact experience — skill from DCS absolutely helps, but War Thunder SIM is its own wild frontier.

🧠 Why This Video Is Interesting (for Both Communities)
If you’re a DCS World pilot:

This video is a nostalgia trip back to simpler, faster, and sometimes crazier aerial combat. The matchmaking is quicker, the fights start sooner, and the air-quake chaos feels like a completely different world compared to the calculated realism of DCS.

If you’re a War Thunder player:

You’ll see the discipline and habits that DCS pilots bring into SIM battles — energy retention, proper merges, efficient control inputs, smart defensive flying, and better airspace scanning.

In this video, we move between BR 3.3, 4.0, 5.0, 5.7, and 6.0 — where fighters start to feel significantly different:

Low tiers (3.3–4.0): slower, more turn-based dogfights

Mid tiers (4.3–5.0): better energy fighters and more iconic WW2 matchups

High props (5.3–6.0): late-war monsters with incredible speed and climb

You’ll see a mix of:

Boom & Zoom attacks

Vertical extensions

Deflection shooting

Rudder-based tracking

Defensive spirals

Stall traps

Managing radiators, superchargers, manifold pressure, and prop pitch

Full cockpit situational flying

All flown in true simulator fashion.
