I can't believe it's been almost 5 years since I first started playing War Thunder, and in that time I've learned about many of the little features of the game that they don't teach you in the tutorials. All these miscellaneous tips are too insignificant to each have a video of their own, but I've managed to compile one brief video that summarizes them for you.
These apply to all game modes and vehicle types except naval, because no one plays naval.
