One reason I love going back to warthunder, specifically air-sim for mid-tier warbirds, is the small community of prop plane sim players have several bits of unwritten code that goes across language barriers. Specifically, sim players use the "follow me" call out to signal position to team mates. Typically, you see a dot on the horizon, call out "follow me", then one by one all 8 of your team mates ping back and you can check your map to see if you're about to fire on a friend or foe.

There's a ton of other toxic aspects to that game, but over all the narrow band of propeller sim players are pretty decent. The slow and expensive nature of the sim game type also rewards calculated moves over leeroy jenkins type play styles. If you go head first at low altitude to try to yoink a kill, you're not going to have a good time, that 5 minutes of side climbing pays off when you can leverage the energy against an opponent who just burnt all theirs up in a turn fight.
