      While that is down to players (for lack of a better term) being dumbasses, thats also bad game design. CAS might be strong, but in my experience if you dont have the tanks on the ground, youre going to lose. There really should be a limit on ho many aircraft can be up at any given time

      @@lukelaser5397 Yeah I was even going to say that half of the plane spawns will crash straight away haha. I think it's usually just inexperienced players or maybe they aren't used to that particular plane. I'm pretty good at CAS and even I get caught out sometimes when you go straight from a highly nimble plane to something that flies like a brick.
      Another problem is that people get target fixation and forget to pull up on time.
      Getting good at CAS is one of those things that only comes with a lot of practice, and a lot of failures along the way!

    My problem is usually 'new' maps (the ones I've never played before because they only tend to appear in higher BRs/Tiers). I personally think it takes dozens of matches to fully start to get a grasp on how each map works, and with how gaijin tends to do it, you sometimes only play given map once every 50 matches.

    • @possibleproblem479
      @possibleproblem479 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      exactly. not only do players who know the maps get a better advantage, but even the colors and the way they can blend together effects performance. some maps have more of a tendancy to make tanks look like suspicious rocks in the distance then others.

    When making a line up for minor nations you will not always be able to make a line up in one br. A general rule of thumb is to build your line up at the br of the nearest heavy or medium tank and then fill the line up with lower br spg or light tanks. Light tanks and spgs dont have their benefits negated by the enemies having more pen.

    I might add, to play your vehicles just like how they were and are used in real life! pretty much every vehicle in this game is modeled after a real life vehicle, and therefore has it similar strengths and weakness's For EX: if you watch how the leopard 2A5 , 2A6 crews train, you will notice that they are trained to stop at the crest of a hill, keeping the hull of the tank in cover, Fire, then immediately reverse back into cover. I've noticed that when i follow the same technique that I do better myself. So basically follow real world strategies.

      I'm learning about real tanks from war thunder instead. That's how I learned a t34 can shrug off most hits, while the IS1 is made of tinfoil. I'm learning how German anti tank guns can penetrate anything without causing damage.
      Luckily, the world is full of bus-sized boulders, so tank crews IRL train to use them in such a way their gun doesn't clip when they turn their turret through the rock

    Mark the map... Gaijin has given us such a great tool to give information to your team quickly yet i encounter soo many matches where im the only one marking the map, it takes 1-2 seconds and can save other players lifes. Did you get shot? Mark the map where, did you die? Mark from where you got killed. The mark doesn't have to be right ontop of the enemy just a rough area so people know where to look.
    Mark the map quickly
    1. Hold down L Alt
    2. Move your mouse over the small map
    3. Click where they are
    Do this instead of opening the big map as you lose situational awareness when the big map is open and it generaly takes longer.

    Maybe I'm the exception, but I don't have a half hour to watch other TH-camrs ramble on at length without really getting to the point, or spending half the video joking around. I know when I watch one of your videos, I can get the info I need or want in a reasonable amount of time and then get back in the game to try out what I've learned!

    Some tips from a Jumbo player. if you can't shoot the machine gun port shoot the coupla if you have aphe. it will take out his commander, gunner (most of the time) and loader (part of the time). then destroy their barrel if you have a sub 9s reload. if not wait till their gunner comes back and shoot coupla again. and remember if you can't hit any of that and you have to engage shoot the barrel and tracks. My playstyle in the Jumbo is overwhelm and destroy. I use my armor and surprising speed to get in close to get a side shot while using my 5s reload to tear apart anything i can hit from barrels to tracks to machine guns. my turret traverse is probably faster than you and i have 15mph stabilizer. if you can shoot a track when the jumbo is at full speed it will make a sharp turn exposing its super weak lower side hull. it is 38.1mm and the ammo is stored there bellow the turret. If you know you can't do any of that just try to disengage and report them to the team. they are a high priority target and cas should try and take them out.
    at 6:07 this tip does not apply to the jumbo. your ammo is all in one place if some one hits it your done if you have 10 rounds or 50. if you are playing a jumbo take more rounds the better you get with it. in AB i take 50 aphe, 15 apcr and 5-10 of he& smoke. in rb it is reduced. i find i have ended with matches firing my apcr because i ran out of aphe

    My tip, bind your MGs or secondary autocannons to separate keys. I bound mine to 3 on my numpad so I can press that and swap to whatever top mount my tank has. It's great for vehicles like the Leo 2K or XM-803 that have high mounted autocannons. It lets you peak over cover since it switches the gunsight to said top mount. Plus it lets you engage aircraft or even small targets without slewing your entire turret

    @lunaria7067 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    For the ammunition advice, I personally like the see where the ammo is deposited, and then choose however much I carry with me.
    The XM-1 (GM) for example, stores the first 25 shells in the back of the turret, while storing all additional shells in the front, so it's (in my opinion) best to take between 20 and 25 shells, but never more, as those additional shells will rarely actually be useful and will make you much easier to kill.

    For myself, If I play a certain BR and country, I watch my ammo usage and play style on maps and adjust my lineup and storage accordingly. With premium vehicle purchases, I got most of them during sales or with the discount coupons, but have not really played most of them. I have them if needed, but I don't feel comfortable using them unless my tech tree has caught up to them. I'm more used to the WWII era and prefer them to Cold War or later versions.

    Good video. As a partially colorblind player, I changed all of my colors (player names, silhouette colors and such) so that I can better see what's going on in game. I'm also pretty much locked to arcade, as I play on a small screen and can't really see the enemy in RB (unless he's obvious or drives in front of me without noticing me). Still, I try an RB match every now and again, just to switch things up.

    When I play french auto-loaders, or British MBTs I only take the 1st stage ammo, so there is no ammo in the hull at all; even if it means i can only carry 8 shells to a battle. And against light targets I use the squash-head shells if the gun has it. Also there are BR brackets where only +0.3 or +0.6 is the maximum uptier i even bother to spawn (at least in naval and ground)!

    If you want get a higher tier premium to help grind your tree, I recommend looking at bombers and using them in realistic battles. Very good research bonuses and most of the time you can destroy a few bases and possibly a player by your gunners before you turn back to land. A lot easier to play well at lower skill level than a fighter. Just don't forget your crew points on weapon maintenance and gunner stats.

    Once you've done all the main things (memorised all the weak points, memorised every sight line on the map, cheesed the graphics and sound settings, put bushes on your weak spots, printed x-ray images of every tank, etc), I'd recommend saving money on GE and getting linen shirts.

    Buying premiums outside BR i think is fine. It helps the grind so much if someome is interested more in high tier. But expect to be destroyed for a few hours of gameplay, and try to use backups to get more practice in. And before trying matches you have to get some game time in Assault Arcade, to practice and know how easy it is to die, how high-low-level ground works, weakspots etc.

    1) learn what objects can be shot thru and with what ammunitions, this ties heavily with AB where you can see red names above enemy tanks, many buildings, walls etc can be shot thru, but onbly with certain ammunition,... also learn what objects can be destroyed with machineguns so you can use ammunition that dosnt go thru those objects without the risk of well that ammo not getting thru, example fences, walls, crtain buildings cannot be shot thru with HE or HEAT but may be destroyed with machinegun so you can shoot .... also learn diferences betwen machineguns, german MG42, american .50 cal or russian 7.62 machineguns have diferent capabilities when it comes to destroying walls, cutting down trees etc
    2) dont respawn when the match is practicly WON / LOST, you wont get any rewards and you just losing time that you could spend inside next battle actualy doing something, getting RP/SL
    3) if something is "too OP" to face, research it, play it, you will quickly learn that it is not, and you may realize that some tanks are only OP downtiered but uptiered they are garbage full of suffering
    4) if you get stuck in certain nation because the tanks are just bad (for you) .... *cough* sweden 7.0-7.7 *cough* ... just play other nations or play lower tier of that nation and research the higher (bad for you) tier ... i have researched whole France IV with SA50 just because i hated how long the autoloaders ammo replenishment is
    5) dont force yourself to play lineups with way lower BR tanks (uptiering your tanks to the newest one u have)... either play that new tank solo too speed thru its upgrades or just dont play the new tank and play old lineup and grind whole new lineup

    lol I wasn't really serious when I wrote that comment, that just popped up my mind since it's a rather lame tip from the loading screen.
    But here's a serious one - this took me several hours to figure out: Make sure to bind a key to "Set target for squad" and also make sure "Automatically join squads" in the "Common Battle Settings" section is enabled. This lets you set a marker that your squad members can see, so perfect to pin point an enemy's location and since the marker is also visible on the mini map, it can come in handy to check the exact position, so you can mark it on the mini map for every team mate even when you're not quite sure where the enemy is exactly.

    I had a situation where I grinded up to about 6.3 in tanks and planes and then had to reset my account and if you find yourself in this situation I'd say go ahead and buy a premium vehicle if you want to help with getting back to your original level but make sure to experience the game at every level. There's a lot of fun to be had with ww2 planes as well as jets. Same goes for tanks. And dont ever buy silver lions with golden eagles.

    I have a tip for you guys. Watch TH-camrs play War Thunder. When I was still in school I used to watch Baron Von Games, Phly, Etc. Baron got me into wt and then when he stopped uploading Phly took over as main source of WT videos for me.
    I couldn’t afford a computer and am a huge tank and plane nut so I used to love watching the vids. Anyway after years I finally got a second hand laptop that just barely was able to play the game. And even being a complete noob and having to use the touchpad due to not having a mouse I still was great at the game. I jumped straight into Realistic as Arcade was hard. Still don’t understand how people play that having their location broadcast to the enemy team. But yeah never really had to look at armour values of enemy tanks in the hangar to probe for weak spots. Already knew tactics and map dynamics. I basically learnt war thunder from never touching the game. Simply watching others play.

  • @Tyrannosaurus_STFU_III
    @Tyrannosaurus_STFU_III 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    As someone that's only played for two weeks here's some new player tips...
    1) this is not a team game. You're on a team, but team play is non existent.
    2) Aggressive = dead....Trust me. I'm very aggressive and realized I had to slow down because there is no team support. Once I stopped going in guns blazing I went from bottom of team to top 5.
    3) Never expect tactical play. I.e. you rush past the CP, draw fire and leave it open for a cap. Nobody will cap. And support.
    4) If you're former military, just expect massive tactical stupidity. You are alone.
    5) You are alone amongst your team. Accept it.

  • @farmingpotato3372

    Slight expansion on a few of them: even 2 teirs apart, even at low teir, is a lot. I once grinded for the PE-8 with my favorite 2.3 lineup, and when I tried to play it just added in with my 2.3 lineup it was miserable (it was also my first plane above 3.3).

    I’m not sure if this was added in the comment a but I will say it
    It is a good thing to know your enemy’s weakspots, BUT
    It’s also good to know their strenght too, and also know what your own vehicle can and can’t do.
    if you face a tank hulldowning with awesome gun depression and armor, don’t try fighting, retreat and either ask your team for help or make a flanking alone
    And also one more thing. Use the free look and binoculars a lot, free look is C on default. You can check your surroundings without rotating your turret

    CAS players get rid of your bombs/rockets before dogfighting and if you see a CAP point being taken attack. If the enemy tank/vehicle completes the capping of the point then it will usually take considerable effort to win it back and if there are only a few players left in the game time may run out.

    • @Fiasco3
      @Fiasco3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Learn how to approach and cap points. Thanks to TH-camrs it's a lost art. How many times have you seen a team with more than 50% of their tanks left just sit there and accept the loss. Don't be that guy/girl.

    I'm glad that my favourite rank is 3-4 with early jets.. despite playing this game for like... 10 years tbh. 3-4 Rank is where you'll probably get most fun. You get solid mid-war to late-war vehicles on all nations, you don't need to deal with unbalanced BS that is top tier.. not really bitching about the F14 but honestly. MiG-25 Foxbat would be great as it was designed to counter F14s. Not MiG-29 because then, you'd have to fight against F15s since again, both planes were developed to fight each other.. guess most people wouldn't like that lmao

    I disagree strongly with this argument I get from people. In tanks, I 100% agree, but for premium planes, I did fine buying premiums out of my rank. I bought one because I wanted to see higher tier gameplay, and I wanted to try early jets. Just pick OP premiums, or at least solid ones. Do your research..
    The SU-11 is what I bought. Kinda an op jet at 7.3 - because I’m trash, the op plane balances me out into a decent player, and I’m able to learn higher tier gameplay.
    I’m not saying it will work for you, but I don’t like people saying “don’t, ever” in regards to this

    The tip about bringing different ammunition types.. Heard this one a lot but I gotta say I totally disagree except some few cases like with the begleit or the strv9040s. Switching ammo increases reloading speed and confuses people since you gotta shoot the one you have loaded before getting the bullet you actually want. If you can't pen something, I'd say going for the barrel and then the tracks is a more reliable solution

    • @gabrielesiragusa3426
      @gabrielesiragusa3426 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hard disagree. I can't even begin to count the amount of times brining some sort of HE or HEAT shell saved my life. Against open top or very light vehicles that just zip around where a good placed shot would be needed to kill them (or maybe it even wouldn't in a lot of cases), just firing a kind of high explosive shell in their general area gets rid of the problem with one tap, instead of potentially getting in a sticky situation (especially with GB and their solid shot, it can be a nightmare to get rid of lightly armoured vehicles without HE)
