Finally someone who understands, you can't just leave your team in a crippled position to fly CAS. It'll most likely cost the match and what good is that
Yes, I once played a match when we knocked all enemy tanks and have capped all 3 points, and then some died and respawn as aircraft and we then have 4 aircraft 6 tanks left. And we succumb to second heavy tanks assault ( IS-2, Tiger II, Tiger I,...) and all the while I encouraged those aircraft to respawn as tanks for that I think we can pull a pyrrhic Victory from them
As someone who's only recently reaching rank 5 and still struggling to grasp ground RB. When is a good time to get into an aircraft? I'm an excellent CAS/ fighter pilot with around 700 hrs in aircraft so I'm not a waste but I know I spawn at the wrong time sometimes.
I've been avoiding CAS and realistic until now. Thanks to this, I'm converting this weekend and taking the plunge. Thanks and 'YES' to more tutorials both basic and more advanced ones on the finer points. The SA commentary is really informative.
Made the switch about 2 weeks after getting into the game and I've never looked back. Some people are like, "I only play Arcade when I need to grind". What?! 1 decent match in RB will give you all the upgrades on one vehicle. Hell, in Air RB, all you need to do is drop your payload once in a bomber, and if you are on target, you can pretty much research ALL your upgrades in that vehicle once the match is over.
I saw the choice between Arcade and Realistic and chose arcade off the back, so that I wouldn't have to go through the transitory process of switching from easier beginner mode to realistic mode.
I just want to say thank you for making videos like this. I feel like guides like these are really lacking in the community, at least recent ones. This is what we all need I think, at least most of us. Thank you man.
Hey Odd, just wanted to congratulate you on the channel growth. You are great, and the video where you talk about becoming friends with Phly is probably the most inspiring and adorable thing I’ve watched this year. Cheers buddy.
I find it extremely awkward to hold down "C" to look around whilst using "E" and "D" to maneuver. Hence, the reason I have my "mouse look" button set to a thumb button on my mouse. That leaves my keyboard hand free to work as normal. It also makes it easier in tank RB as well. As for the NORDS, I like to use the arrow keys for missile guidance and keep the pitch of the plane up a bit when I let it loose, then pitch my jet down more toward the target. This way the missile exhaust isn't blocking the view of my target and I can bring the missile using a more top-down approach on the target. I still use the old default key bindings from when I installed the game 6-7 years ago. SHIFT=Throttle UP, Control=Throttle down, A&D=Roll Axis, W&S=Pitch Axis, Q&E=Yaw.
yeah i also use a mouse button for camera control using c doesnt let you fully mouse fly unless you hold down c with your thumb but then you risk hitting space on accident and dropping any bombs you have
This is so frikin helpful, all your video are cuz you're always giving little tips and tricks in them that's why you're one of my favorite war thunderers
Excellent video Odd. Glad to see that despite playing this game for 6-7 years, I've still got things to learn about! Especially the flexibility of MGB's decal. That FJ-4B is haunting.
A very much needed tutorial Odd. I'm glad someone finally did it. You forgot to mention, that bombs and rockets also keep the sideways momentum, so if you are sliding sideways in the air in any degree, it will throw your ordnance off target. What i'm used to do If i'm uptiered, i fly around the battlefield, get into the back of the enemy, turn off the engine(s), (also cut fuel to the engines, preventing it from automatic restart), pick a populated, startegically important place/target, glide in (in quiet) low altitude, high speed, sh!t on ppl, glide out of the conflight zone, restart engine(s), GTFO, rearm/repeat.
Damn, playing for over 3 years and didn't even know that you could disable instructor just for low level flying. The things you learn everyday, thanks Odd
This is awesome. For those of us who just love military planes and aren’t really tech savvy and might be in their 40s with busy lives this is helpful. Very kind of you to do this tutorial mate, thank you.
probably the best and complete tutorial i've seen about CAS on you tube. i've learn how to bomb just watching you playing and i wish there where this video back in the day. i'm sure it's gonna help lots of people. keep up with your great contents mate.
This is exactly the video I have been looking for. I manage to get maybe 1 kill for every dozen bombs dropped if I'm lucky. You are the only one with a tutorial that shows how to drop the bombs accurately.
Just now finding this video, and this was an EXCELLENT tutorial. Would love to see more control setups, I never even thought of how useful keyboard flying is!
This series of videos is the single most helpful thing I have ever found. I struggle soo much with planes. thank you. I would Love to see more ofit these
Love the videos man. Keep up the good work. One of the few tubers that is a decent human being and isn't all stuck up. Been in many games with you over the years and never seen you be disrespectful to folks even when they deserve it. Found you through phly's videos a while back and enjoy yours so much more because you give tips on gameplay instead of just rambling. I'm not so good at planes yet but you have been a huge help learning.
Thank you so much! As an xbox player who's been looking to switch to keyboard and mouse, this video has been very helpful and encouraging to get one and begin go play WT like this.
Honestly, what made it easy for me as a noob when learning to ground pound was just to test pretty much every plane and see which one was the best at dive bombing. Then, I just kind of practiced using the same approach time after time, about 50-60 degree dive, letting go at about 500m away, and setting a long enough bomb fuse to where I didn't blow myself up. When I got the hang of that and could do it in my sleep, only then did I start branching out to other planes that required their own nuanced approach to bombing. Once you figure out how to bomb accurately with a good amount of planes, it makes it easier to adjust to the more difficult handling bombers.
This is great! I have vehicles around 3.7 in most countries primarily through PVE (assault arcade). I have dabbled in actual games a few times but as retired military I have a fear of letting my team down. I know its just a game and all that but the idea of not pulling my weight has kept me away from real matches until I get good at basic skills. This is exactly what I needed in the air aspect at least. The best key bindings is very helpful. I have tried it in VR too and almost didn't throw up...
Your use of cas got me interested in it much more than I had been. Yesterday was the first time I got more kills in with my plane than with my tanks! I used bombs and guns flying a B 18A. People seem to respect its rear gunner (13.2mm?) more than most planes I have used. Great tutorial BTW and Thank you for the inspiration. While on the ground I tend to get killed by aircraft guns far more often than I am ever bombed or rocketed. Normally its while driving lighter or open top vehicles, even while hiding in shade and trees.
Thanks for doing this Dude, I've been playing on and off for over 6 years and I still suck at this game. Watching made me realize the mistakes I'm making over and over. When you think about it though, if your doing really bad then someone else is having a great time, so I guess I'm just in it to make everyone else happy, helping them grind out that next vehicle. Keep up the good work fella.
Thank you for making this Odd! One of the many things I struggled when doing CAS was not crashing into the ground after going into a dive (this was mostly in the BTD-1). For the past 4-5 years that I've been playing this game I've gotten so used to mouse controls so I think this time I'll truly try and use keyboard controls for elevators.
Your videos have inspired and helped me so much. I today in my sea vixen (just bought it today) dropped 2 unguided 1000 lbs bombs on 2 targets in 1 strafe about 300 meters apart at 800 kh/h in a shallow dive. Ive seen you pull yhese off and thought damn thats epic and indeed doing it myself felt damn epic
One quite important thing I'd change in the plane setup, is to move the *toggle gear button* away from your controls, so that in the middle of the battle, when you use your flaps and air breaks extensively, you don't accidentally lower your gear. I use N for mine. Also - mouse thumb buttons for elevator control, make it much more convenient, so that you don't have to use all of the controls on one hand.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This video helped me so much to learn how to use the rockets, bombs and guided missiles. Now i can finally become better with the weapons on planes. you are the first one that explanins in a good way how to use rockets, bombs and guided missiles with this video. i cant thank you enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Odd! I've only been following you for a couple of months and i must say, that I really love your content! I've been away from WT for 3 years and your channel gave me the curage to pick it up again:)
thank you so much for a tutorial on keyboard flying i have way too many hours in this game and never bothered to learn how as it seemed extremely confusing thanks for showing just how easy it is
Honestly I didn’t think anyone would’ve posted a tutorial like this and it’s legit exactly what I needed! My biggest struggle is rockets and lining up on bomb drops. Can not express how awesome this is! Thanks odd!
Odd, please keep these instruction videos coming, great help for better and other ways to support the team. Your videos are a type Public Service for WT players. Good Hunting on E-SPORTS
Amazing tutorial, and I may or may not have spent the rest of the day messing about with CAS after watching this.. And somehow managed to get 3 kills with one bomb drop in the P47 - Two panthers and a plane that was chasing me. Definitely my go-to tutorial in the future!
I appreciate you putting up a guide like this, whenever I watch your videos I'm always trying see ways I could improve my own gameplay and this is a great help.
The real fun is learning to treetop level drop vs ground targets in a jet. Huge fun skimming the ground and giving radar SPAA some surprises. Just a matter of getting used to distance, speed, and height. Great vid! A lot of people haven't wrapped their head around keyboard flying while free looking and this is a great intro to that idea. Pretty much a requirement to dodging incoming fire and situational awareness.
Very, very good video! This helps me with CAS, practice server setup and key bindings. All of these I needed help with. In the past I've made changes to my keys thinking it'll do one thing but it actually changed something else then It's a struggle getting things back to normal. So no more guessing. I didn't even know a practice server could be set up for a single player, I thought that function was only for friends list playing. The keys on screen you've added to this video is a nice touch to showing exactly how/when to use the keys we just bound. This video is going into my saved list, I'll be watching this over and over until I squeeze out every bit of info it offers. Since you've put in the time and effort to make this, I thought I'd supply feedback for you to get some info in return. Thanks for putting in the time and effort to make it. Again, Great Video.
Another very good video - outstanding actually. Could not take my eyes off the screen; absolutely mesmerizing. The narration is the best. Thankyou Odd for doing this series. 🤠
Awesome vid, very informative and well explained! The unguided rocket part was really helpful to me, because even though I'm a fairly experienced player, I always seeked good rocket tutorials, and I was not disappointed :D! About bomb dropping, I find the most success and acurracy with "bomb tossing", aka dropping my bomb right after I pulled out (you gotta aim directly at the target with this one), coming at a roughly 45° angle. You really make awesome content! Keep it up :D!
A wee tip for practicing in the custom battle. If you take a decent attacker like one of the later IL2s that has both rockets and bombs you can practice bombing and then while the bombs are reloading (30-60s depending on crew) you can practice rockets.
Sweet! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction man, I have been playing for a long time but have not really been interested in CAS for some reason, but after watching so many of your videos I have been drawn into wanting to give it a shot! Hah thanks and have a good weekend OddBawz
Thank you so much for this video, the vehicle test drives are terrible for actually testing anything in combat and I've been working on getting better at CAS after trying planes not too long ago but it's not an easy learning curve.
Nice simple tutorial dude. Still going to get vertigo flying and feel like puking, but going to start trying again. Sick bag at the ready, 3, 2, 1, contact...
This video really helped a lot as i didn’t even know all the things you can do with settings Like i never thought about bomb times Thank you odd, this was very cool and helpful
Invaluable dude! TYSM I went and bought the R/4 of Ger and well launching first nord and aa missle in practice has me excited af! Not going to actually use it until I get a line up around it.
Tip: If you bind "Zoom Camera" Under Common -> View controls to RMB instead of Zoom axis, you wont have to hold down RMB and can instead toggle the zoom. Much better for using AGMs and generally having an extra free finger.
This video is fantastic, i think a little more advice on dealing with spaa would be helpful, considering theres usually always 1 spaa vehicle up during your CAS lifespan. I tend to play spaa more than the usual player would (against planes) my main recommendation is to fly low and fast as this removes you from their sights and radar locks and to use any chance you have at attacking spaa vehicles when they are distracted by anything else, as well as fear the ostwind and never underestimate the aim of some players, especially when if they hit you once your plane goes down, no matter how high you are
Thanks for making these videos Odd! I've gotten really good at ground vehicles and air vehicles in their individual modes, but have never really grasped CAS in ground RB, despite having CAS planes like the A2D and 335 B-2
Odd, could you do a video on controls you have set up for each type of vehicle ground and air? I know that's asking a lot but I'm sure a lot of your subs would appreciate a video of this type. Details on how you choose to swap main from secondary weapons out would be helpful as well. Keep up the great videos and your humor is enjoyable!
I think the most important part of CAS is knowing when to go into a plane
Finally someone who understands, you can't just leave your team in a crippled position to fly CAS. It'll most likely cost the match and what good is that

@@ED_667 absolutely, some people don't know better but a lot of people just don't care about team work
Definitely. Early on I’d spawn in a plane as soon as I could and get killed and knocked out of the game
As someone who's only recently reaching rank 5 and still struggling to grasp ground RB. When is a good time to get into an aircraft?
I'm an excellent CAS/ fighter pilot with around 700 hrs in aircraft so I'm not a waste but I know I spawn at the wrong time sometimes.
OddBawZ definitely did this video as an excuse to fly the FJ-4B VMF again while he has it.
Isn’t A4E better?
If i remember correctly they both have four bullpups so theyre basically the same, maybe the fj4b has a more powerful engine but im not sure
@@jaek_898 A4E have 5 bullpups and flares
@@johanwillfred6139 they both have 5 bullpups he has the FJ-4B on loan. He mentioned how much he wants it in a previous vid

RB for air and ground are both really fun. It takes some adjustment compared to arcade but they're very satisfying to play.

EDIT: you fulfilled my request!!! TYSM! I still miss my bombs and I still suck at rockets :/
can someone gib me link to first vid I didn't see it yet, and I wanna cas
man im unreliable in the rockets either :/
from my experience, just keep missing and eventually you'll hit things more and more lmao
I like the fact that I can relay on ur measurements in km/h and meter. When i watch others and they use feet that Trows me off pretty badly.

The hardest thing to aim for me are the bombs with the German dive bombing release mechanism.

Switching to keyboard and mouse from an xbox controller was revolutionary for me. I highly reccomend it
Big thank you for the most in depth CAS tutorial for realistic battles. I already feel like a better pilot!

Thanks oz, you and phly help me enjoy WT still, my hands have such bad arthritis now I can barely use the keyboard so its nice to see some pro work
odd thank you for this - youre the man. now getting useed to the flying by key board and breaking the habit of mouse ..
My man single handedly get kills for each bombs dropped, while me feels just so good to get hit or critical hit.
Tip: If you bind "Zoom Camera" Under Common -> View controls to RMB instead of Zoom axis, you wont have to hold down RMB and can instead toggle the zoom. Much better for using AGMs and generally having an extra free finger.
This is so terribly needed in my case
Cas barking while CAS'ing is just *chef's kiss*
Thank you so much for this video odd, I have been looking for a good tutorial for cas for ages now
Not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed
Thanks for this video, I've only recently started rb flying and this is what I needed. Again thank you for this video and all of the others.
This video is fantastic, i think a little more advice on dealing with spaa would be helpful, considering theres usually always 1 spaa vehicle up during your CAS lifespan.
I tend to play spaa more than the usual player would (against planes) my main recommendation is to fly low and fast as this removes you from their sights and radar locks and to use any chance you have at attacking spaa vehicles when they are distracted by anything else, as well as fear the ostwind and never underestimate the aim of some players, especially when if they hit you once your plane goes down, no matter how high you are
Thanks Bawz, helped alot! always nice to see this kind of content
OddBawZ THANK YOU! I will try your no-mouse flying technique. Keep safe and happy dude!!!
Also rockets are the best at taking out soft targets in a su-6 with rs-132 you are guaranteed 5 artillery/aa dead quick
Thanks for making these videos Odd! I've gotten really good at ground vehicles and air vehicles in their individual modes, but have never really grasped CAS in ground RB, despite having CAS planes like the A2D and 335 B-2
Thanks so much for doing this Odd.....I always wondered how you kept the view on the target. Very helpful so please do more!!
very helpful thank you Odd, love the videos you make.
a fan from South Africa
Awesome stuff Odd! Much appreciate you sharing this!
I have Pitch on my mouse side buttons(the only 2 i got) and when i binded that a few years ago it changed my life.
Odd, could you do a video on controls you have set up for each type of vehicle ground and air? I know that's asking a lot but I'm sure a lot of your subs would appreciate a video of this type. Details on how you choose to swap main from secondary weapons out would be helpful as well. Keep up the great videos and your humor is enjoyable!
Thank you Odd for making this great tutorial. How do you set the zoom key to right mouse button?
From the options panel like you would bind any other key
