My questions:
- Do I have to grind to get a heli, and how long?
- If I can buy my way to a heli, how much will it cost me?
- Will it take a lot of practice for comfortable flight? I've flown Elite Dangerous and IL-2 in VR. Helis - only in Battlefield and with keyboard+mouse.
- Are there practice modes with bots or static targets?
- Will it perform ok with my hardware?
My hardware:
- i7-7700k
- GTX 1080
- 16gb RAM
- Hotas-X joystick
- Oculus Rift CV1
Much appreciated!
- Do I have to grind to get a heli, and how long?
Yes you need to grind helicopters. Helicopters become available for research and purchase only with the ownership of at least one Rank 5 vehicle of a nation that has helicopters. Buying a premium or gift helicopter also gives access to helicopter research instantly and access to the helicopter you bought, regardless of having a rank 5 vehicle (tank or plane) of that nation.
- If I can buy my way to a heli, how much will it cost me?
$60 for a premium helicopter.
- Will it take a lot of practice for comfortable flight? I've flown Elite Dangerous and IL-2 in VR. Helis - only in Battlefield and with keyboard+mouse.
It's very easy to fly helicopters in War Thunder - it is easier than in Battlefield with a mouse and keyboard. However, as in any game, more practice will make you better overall.
- Are there practice modes with bots or static targets?
Yes, you can test fly helicopters (if you have progressed through the tree) and test fly premium helicopters against bots. You can also set up a custom match of your own or a modding mission to your desire.
- Will it perform ok with my hardware?
Yes your hardware is more than enough. You meet the recommended requirements which can be seen on the store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/236390/War_Thunder/
