How To Get Better At War Thunder

- This has been one of the most heavily requested videos yet. Apparently, many of you guys are relatively new to War Thunder, and since Gaijin doesn't do an amazing job of explaining how to do well, I've had a lot of requests to make a sort of tutorial. While I don't think I'm an amazing player, I do have a few tips that will hopefully help.

@@Gloverfield thank you
hey spook, is apex having availability due to chipset shortages? recommended your line of PCs to my brother, because right now building one is more expensive than prebuilt. Does apex have PCs in stock?
Hey I just noticed that page says "Apex Gaming PCs is thrilled to announce our partnership with one of World of Tanks’s biggest creators Spookston." Did you used to play world of tanks or is that just some kind of typo? lol
My advice: always underestimate your teammates and always overestimate your enemies
If I were to list best advice ever given to anyone playing team competitive games, this would definitely be near the top.
I always think of war thunder as a one v many game, completely disregarding the teammates. This way I am pleasantly surprised in very rare cases, when a teammate actually helps
Is this quote from Godfather?
Man that's just what I normally do in WT
Golden tip
Best Advice i can give is: find people to play WT with because random teammates will 98% of the time let you down, don't rush high tier tanks, don't play like a tungsten statue if you want to have fun, and always make sure to have enough SL in reserve just in case you get a new tank.
We could play together if u want
I can get Ur discord and we can play together
That with SL. What if you make most times only -SL in battles? Or nearly no +?
the people I play with generally let me down too lmao
@@madeingermany9445 to be frank there's two clear options, for ftp you really just have to get better and get enough kills (4 to 5 a battle) to make positive credits. Also can choose low repair cost vehicles like ones under 5.0 most if the time. The second easiest grinding option is a premium account, this is the only paying thing that I do and I have approx 2 mil SL
One important thing I learnt about War Thunder is, "Fun is a finite resource in this game".
Everytime you are winning, someone is loosing (and vice versa). Everytime you do your victory dance, someone is malding and coping hard. Sometimes you just have to swallow your pride and keep on moving, and if the game gets too tough, take your well deserved break.
Do not let the game consume you friends, know your limits.
And understand the BR rating system. I play a lot of 3.3 -3.7 and 5.3.
This honestly goes with any game. I think its to learn not to let a fake reality change your real reality.
Damn it isn't my turn for the fun
Man I haven’t had fun for 1 and a half weeks because I have got 9k and 1 and a half weeks earlier I had 60k, I’ve don’t nothing for about 1 month
@@lemurman7978 work the lower BR I find my 3.7-4.0 Russian stuff does good get those captures work those good hits don't just randomly shoot wait behind objects play smart. Get on a squad or in every match shadow another teammate and work together.
The part about not using WT content creators as reference is really important. I've seen dozens of videos titles "let's play X, the absolutely worst vehicle I ever played" and then they get 13 kills in a single match with it. This really, REALLY skews your view on your own skills.
For a while, I would watch a Phlydaily video then I would play and see people trying to do the same things he did in the video and getting absolutely demolished for it.
Agreed. I have my own play style and I did try to emulate some of the content creators when I first started playing. I learned really quick that I can't fight my vehicles like they do. So now, when those CC make vehicles look great, I instead stick with the vehicles I know how to play and just slowly creep up the tech trees.
I have sometimes found those vehicles are really fun lol. I have seen a ton of people overlook the japanese Na-To at 3.3, and I just got it a few weeks ago and its an absolute monster if you know how to use it due to the gun. One persons trash is anothers treasure
@@dixievfd55 Ontop Phly's kill counts get inflated because he spawncamps or spawntraps (before 3/3 caps that is just sad).
I don’t try to emulate Content creators, I just wish I could play a game where I get more then 0 or 1 kills. I understand that at best if I played war thunder for 24 hours straight I’d only get about 3 games where I get like 5 or 6 kills. I’d just like to consistently get 2 or 3 kills.
Best advice I can give: Don’t play to grind. People have been complaining about economy recently and we can all agree it’s bad. But your overall goal shouldn’t be just get to top tier. Find a tank/aircraft in a tree to focus towards or even if you find a vehicle before that one that you enjoy, play it for a time, or use it as a fallback vehicle to play and enjoy.
I did this for the T-34 1942 a few years ago and have well over 3 k kills with it just because it’s entertaining and fun. I’m doing it more recently with the object 906 because it’s an overall fun tank and lineup to play.
I’m done with 3 ground trees and still enjoy 9.3 and lower. Top tier and cool modern mbts might look cool but they are not enjoyable to play (imo) especially with helis ruining the fun.
personally i like to go to 6.3 with my friend, take only the BT-5 and some random attacker with bombs, then flank some unsuspecting IFV or light tank and get a free 20k sl
Okay this comment right here. I grind to top tier with my friend and its so frustrating but when i go back to 1.0-5.0 range i have so much fun playing this game even when it screws me over
@@everby9998 i do this at 9.0 with Ho-Ro tank destroyer free 20k is very good and its so satisfying to get a kill with 150mm
easy to say premium boy
helis are ruining the fun (game) at top tier. i couldn't agree with you more!
First way to get better is to learn weak points on tanks and angling.
Second is to learn play styles of tanks, get used to ranges, and using Rangefinder/Spotting
Third is positioning. Getting to a good positioning or power spots is key to succeeding often, only after the first two skills.
and learning the maps, not just good postions on those map but also every single corner or hill you could get killed from, that was my biggest problems there are so many big maps that i never knew where to go :D
4th way to get better, use your ears and listen, the sounds the various engines make in this game tend to be nation specific. A tiger 2 sounds a lot more metallic and chimey compared to a sherman
gotta remember the interiors of every single tank ♿
Map Knowledge is very important .
The learn play styles of tank is brutal in German tree, you pass directly from a slow heavy armored tank that can bounce lot of shots and it have a gun that can one shot people to a fast small tank with paper armor and a gun that can no longer one shot people. So you have to change completely the playstyle and the way you use tanks (Tiger 2h to leopard 1)
I think that is the main reason of the low victory rates of Germany . I play since 2015 and always have overal more enjoyable and “winable” games as soviets or USA than Germany
Don't be afraid to do Arcade Air/Ground/Naval.
Yeah, Realistic is super cool but also requires a lot more brainspace than Arcade.
Whatever mode you play, have fun.
This right there
I play arcade only because it was on that mode when I started, now my whole mindset is set to that game mode, sometimes its more frustrating though. Try take a position with a bradley or other TOW sitting behind a rock and just launch spamming you because you're almost always visible.
@@blackwidowrsa I do 98% arcade because I came from World of Tanks / Warships, so the arcade mode is really in-depth on comparison.
I find top tier arcade more enjoyable because helis are less spammed (I'm looking at you russian mains who take out the ka50 everytime they die or at the start of the match)
Mid tier arcade is fun until the plane spawns start. Then it’s total mayhem.
"don't cap points, just uncap enemy ones"
me who needs the rewards: "no i don't think i will"
Yeah i love capping points they are my main soursce of money.i usually go with a fast tank. Hide then speed off. Wait till opponent comes kill it or try killing it then take it back i hop from points to points not effective but because i suck bad I cant do much more.
I do the same thing. That's how your team wins. You're doing God's work. I always have a couple million SL to spare because of it as well. I've noticed that ppl will just sit there and camp while the clock runs out and I've been there determining factor by continuing to focus on the objective.
On the bit about don't compare yourself to TH-camrs, this is why I love to watch OrangeFan's "First Ten" series. He shows the first ten battles in a tank no matter how bad the battle was. Gives a far more realistic view of how things pan out initially.
Here's a tip from me, have fun. Not even joking if you just do not stick to the meta, you can have fun. The Churchill with 50 smokes and 10 shells, playing the strv m/39 at 6.3 to get god mode(20,000 sl). Note be respectful when having fun so your poor teammates don't get ligma.
Guess this got the God Mode community assembling, cool!
My go to is M3 GMC at 6.7 for that free sl
As a USSR main, taking a BT-5 into my 6.3 loadout is actually very helpful.
If I get a full uptier, (which is pretty common) I take it so I can score cheeky sideshots on unsuspecting panthers, M41 bulldogs, leopard 1s, IFVs or even anti-air. a great way to get 20k sl.
Once I even tried to use it every battle I played that day, getting god mode in like 70% of the matches. By the end I went from "just bought a vehicle and have barely any money for repairing" to about 160k sl. That was a good day.
The latter is probably not that fun for your own team though
Been taking the m/40 and 38t with my strv 103-0 at 7.7 and they are ridiculously effective
Some players don’t believe in fun anymore. Players like me. It’s either you win or you lose.
There's a reason Spookston has a high K/D but bad stats everywhere else. I wouldn't play like him if I were you. My advice, play in a way that will give your team the greatest chance of winning. Try to cap points when possible, but know when to avoid the caps. Play as a counter-flanker on maps where you can have your team slaughtered by just one guy flanking. Defend your teammates but never trust them to defend you. Use CAS, not to revenge bomb, but to target the people doing the best on the enemy team or the people who are defending/holding/capping points. In ground battles K/D is not the stat that shows how good you are, it's your win rate and average position on the leaderboard. And last but definitely not least, PLAY LINEUPS. It means, that you shouldn't play a tank if it's the only tank you have at that BR. Find a lineup of tanks all at the same BR and play that instead. If it means you're not playing that cool new tank you just unlocked, so be it. You can play it later when you have more vehicles at that BR.
One thing I do is I try to only slowly and incrimentally increase the br in a lineup, unless it isnt possible. An example is my friend just got the T72a, while I got the t62m1 and am halfway done researching the less effective at doing the same thing T64a, because that way I dont have a T72 with a bunch of 8.3s that will just immediately get killed if I died in my 72. Instead, I will have a t64(abet not a great one) and a T62 that has more pen than either the t64a or t72a with its best round.
Finally, I have long anticipated this video… my prayers have been answered
Step one: at no point should you use French or Italian tanks, unless you have a padded cell to have mental break downs in
Step two: feeling down? Not enough lions? Go back to RB low Tier, trust me it’s fun.
Step three: go the unexpected rout, try not to take main streets and stick to buildings when you thing enemy’s are nearby.
Step four: Remember it’s a game about tanks.
>remember it's a game about tanks
_air noises_
@@t0x1cl ***ANGERY NAVAL NOISES***
i had a padded room but its missing a wall from me hitting my head against it
Italian low tier is fun once you get a juicy 2.3 and above lineup.
I am still missing part of my soul from dealing with the prior vehicles.
What if the enemy expects us to take the unexpected route?
RN i have +450 hours of playing and there were surprisingly 2 tipps for me .The only thing i can say to new players: Everything comes with experience . The more time you play the better you get .Also don´t rush for the modern tanks ,planes,..... You will only loose fun while playing .Try to set urself smaller goals like firts reaching lvl 10 then getting ur firts rank3 vehicle and most important have fun
You forgot the most important part
Attack the D point!
Unfortunately, we can't play much because of the repair cost or the characteristics of our tank.
@@forsakenplant GRAMERCY!
The having fun part is the hardest
I have more than 7 years and main ground AB. Only tip is to have fun and ensure you have enough SL
On the point about avoiding frustration: Even if you are having a pretty good series of rounds, stop at the "I don't think I'll be able to top that today." when those happen. Everything will pale in comparison, and the morale boost may make you throw caution to the wind in future matches.
My WT morale boost: When I do amazing in a match (RARE), I save that mission under a custom name and date so I can review it later to see what I did right/wrong.
your name isnt ashley
@@shrekrecker Legally, it is. It's not like it makes any difference to you anyways. You're set on your stance, and your attempt to change mine is a fool's errand.
@@shrekrecker and your name isn't shrekrecker
@@lukav3509 yes it is
Ive been playing war thunder for a while (well its kind of a when i feel like taking it up again which could take a lot of time) despite that I'm not very good at the game, I've been watching tutorials and TH-camrs to try to learn, but I just couldn't find much helpful advice. Until I saw this video, where I got the true piece of information I needed. To never play when frustrated for any reason. I found out that most times I play im frustrated about something most of the time, whether it's a previous match or something else. This video definitely opened my mind to the real reason of why I struggle in the game sometimes. Thank you for making this.
Another tip is to find people to play with as this WILL improve your experience. Luckily for me I had 3 other friends who essentially started playing at the same time as me. Now I’m sitting at 1.7k hours and still enjoying this game from day to day and I think that my enjoyment is caused by being accompanied by them.
one thing i have learned in my 700+ hours of WT is to plan your next actions in battle carefuly, for example: don‘t rush towards the enemy spawn asap, look for spots from where you can ambush an unexpecting enemy and wait for your team to get there.
3000+ hours into the game and yeah. i still learn new and interesting techniques to this day. it's always important to try and improve yourself. but one of the big tips i can give is. play to have fun. not play to win. with the last winter event. i had to push myself trough frustration so often to get my tasks done that it sucked the fun out of the game. even though i didn't play much differently than i would without the event.
Well, I identify myself so much with your comment. I have about 2000 games and still everyday Im learning new positions on maps, things to consider on a game, where to shoot, what to do on certain situations and on and on.... I still think Im a noob even though Im almost reaching rank 6 tanks
@@giordanosilva8336 don't worry I'm top tier in nearly 2 trees and around top tier the game is basically a whole different game. I still need to perfect 8.0+ myself too. But i enjoy 7.7 and under alot more so I've not priotized top tier alot yet
I did all 3 of the winter vehicles, in the hopes of collecting enough to buy a KV-220, but that event has made me realize something.
TANKS IS THE MOST TIME CONSUMING AND FRUSTRATING PART.
This event has made me genuinely hate tanks.
Actually a great, quick breakdown of what is best and how you can utilise simple mechanics that the game offers. Loved it
great video bro
for me there are 3 rules. Knowledge of tank and rounds which I am using, knowledge of enemy tanks and their weakspots and the most important is knowledge of map and great spots
You have just explained the whole game 😂
@@smokingcat3267 seems simple right xD? And that is why, for example, I have with Leo 2A4 1500+ kills in 400 matches
When it came to airplanes I was even close to decent in air rb for years and even now after 7 years of playing I can’t say I’m some insane pilot, this game has such a different skill level compared to other games I’ve played
Lowkey the best video I’ve ever watched for a “ here’s how to play the game” video. Like so simplistic, yet so informative. He’s not telling you to bind this key and that key for these game breaking key binds or little cheats at the game. He really just straight up explained the KEY key features ti get started playing the game, the mindset so to speak. LOVE the work my dude, got a subscriber out of me 💯
I've been playing War Thunder for nearly eight years now. I spent the first 6 years or so as a free-to-play account. I didn't get a premium account, golden eagles or premium Vehicles until just over two years ago.
I agree with everything spookston put here. Some of the things here were good reminders for me, and others were new things. The best advice I could give is to not take it too seriously. At the end of the day, it is just a video game. If you play every second to have fun, sometimes it even makes dying pretty funny. Thanks for the video Spookston!
I think the most fun deaths in game are when someone kills you with a vehicle that had no right to kill you. Like a 1.0 killing a 5.x. This is also the same reason why I try to see what kind of memeing I can do with low tier in higher tier battles.
I’ve learned that if you plan your attack before the battle by looking at the map while the game loads and planning where to go and what to do helps a lot. If you just go right into the game with no plan you might get confused or quickly decide where to go and die. On battles I didn’t plan on I died very quickly with maybe 1 or 2 kills while if I plan I get double or triple of that.
You‘re so right with that point about having the mindset to get at least one good game before turning off, it‘s so frustrating having bad batches and not knowing what you did wrong this time. Totally right playing something different and hop inside when having motivation again
Thanks Spookston! Not the top tier guide i wanted, but the Advice we all needed
How to win more games: bring lineups instead of being a one spawn XM-1 at 11.0.
unless its 5.0 germany
How would an XM-1 get into 11.0 and only have one spawn🤔
@@WSSRIOTCONTROL hes talking about just buying into high tier and only having one tank to compete with. It's not 11.0, but you know.
Actually lineups are great but in the long run they thend to do more harm than good
Unless you play the big 2. Lineups become extremely expensive so if you have a premium that works its much better to bring that
Cope
Great advice all around. One thing that I find helpful is to wait to spawn initially and spend a minute or two looking over the vehicles your team is using. I use that knowledge to chose my vehicle before I spawn. By then the first wave vehicles have started to take each other out. I watch the mini map to see where problematic enemy are and adjust my plan. This way, the push W til I die crowd has probed and softened the enemy and I arrive in time to hold ground until my teammates respawn and return.
Thanks Spookston. I knew most of this advice already, but have a long way to go before mastering it. Great video.
Thanks Spookston 🙏 I always use the "Atleast 1 good game" mindset and always get annihilated by the enemy team. Keep up the great content, my friend 💪💯
For me the most important thing is awareness, especially in RB. Pay attention to the mini map, listen for engine sounds, watch the kill feed so you know who's killing who and where. If you know where the enemy is, it's easier to kill it. Everything else comes with practice: angling, positioning, where to shoot... etc.
This is very interesting man, tank you
This game is very tough
Lets not forget custom battles and the test drive. Custom battles give you map knowledge, and some experience before taking a vehicle out. With regard to test drive it's great to improve gunnery skills. Sit in the cap zone and have unlimited ammunition. I use this to practice manually controlled rockets. BTW, turn off auto repair.
I actually needed to see this video. I’ve had war Thunder for a while but just now heavily got into it. My first couple days playing I was doing pretty well, two or three kills on the ground and maybe two more in the air. But these last couple days (all this week) I’ve just been getting mollywopped. Lucky to get one kill. When you said “if you get frustrated just walk away and do something else” spoke to me lol. Thanks!
Thanks for the tips love the videos you do keep up the good work
With moments of you being spawn snipped or screwed by volumetric i would like it if you tried to find a way to include it in your videos.
Not sure if anyone else feels the same?
I feel ya, just before I quit, 89% of games were enemy team spawn sniping and volumetric screwing me over, not a fun time, i wasn’t even playing to grind, just for fun.
@@whitephillip6997no one asked
i remember when i switched from AB to RB , i learned playing in the sdkfz 234/2 because its really a great "tank" , good gun , very fast but no armor
I find those really accurate, especially positioning. I noticed that since I started to use vehicles how they should be used, I get like 3-4x more kills. Awesome content!
I love how genuine this videos was.
In all my time playing I find I lose the most when the team pushes into enemy spawn after asserting dominance and followed promptly by dying and losing.
If you already have the advantage, don’t push, let them come to you.
i can understand spawn sniping since we're all guilty by map design but i never understood driving into a place where they have invulnerability and enemy radar
Yeah the amount of times I have to call for defending the capped zones is just depressing. Or even worse, when you're practically the only one even trying to push a cap because you're losing and other team mates are just sitting around.
My tip: pay attention, keep checking your surroundings, listen for engines, the one who notices the other first has clear advantage
Spookston made a video to tell you to:

Good advice to get better on Warthunder, Spookston!!!
Is there a chance for a video on the M41 Walker Bulldog?
The best advice i can give: play war thunder as a real war learned about enemy's you will face the most try to learn about there weakness . If you are starting a new game I will say play arcade mode for the first week or 2 if you jump straight in the realistic mode you are doomed . Please play for fun not to grain play your favourite tank in history you will be happy 😊
I have been dying for a video like this
One of the best wt yt just dropped a new video! Great day!
Best Advice: Learn the strengths and weakness of your tank and the tanks you will be facing at your BR. Knowing the maps can be extremely helpful as well.
Play to have fun. Don't worry about the grind just play and have fun. You can literally play any tank you want and grind up a vehicle. So find a tank you like and play that.
Edit: Oh, as a new player coming into the game play either America or Russia as they are far easier trees to play for starting players. Once you start getting the hang of the game then you can play Germany or other nations. Don't assume that Germany has the best tanks because of WW2. While they are very good in War Thunder they require I high player skill ceiling to do well in them.
Bruh i went with Britain as my first Tech Tree. RIP. Im researching the Charioteer and the Centurion atm
@@haroldotrotter9148 Yeah, they can be tough to start but they have really good 5.0-7.0 tanks.
In my opinion New Players shouldn't play us if they want to have fun. US Tanks are just... Medicore and at 6.0-7.0 you have to pay too much
I'm a German main and I have freinds who play america and Russia and my stats are way better than theirs (6.7 and bellow)
For me, Germany is the best nation for new players especially in 5.3-6.3 where most German tanks are point and click
I struggled a bit when entering rank 5 where Germany looses their armor but the tanks are still very solid
For those who prefer air combat:
Don't underestimate how much arcade can help with aiming.
Keep mind of your speed, anything below 250 is the danger zone.
When in a dogfight, don't aim where they are, aim where they will be when your nose comes around.
Don't be afraid to run.
If someone looks like they want to dive on you, head for the ground so they need to give up their altitude.
Cannons do much more damage but have less ammo, use them only when you're sure of a hit.
Most importantly of all: look at the map. Always.
I gotta say this, I have a good feeling that your advice will me big time, thanks
iv been watching your videos from some time and missed this one some how but it really helped me relax and rember i play games for fun its supper ez to fall into screaming how bad my team was or even just how bad i did but shit happens thanks for this fantsic video to help push me back into improveing my game play and not just going full salt mode
best advice for new players: you dont win by capping... you win by holding the most caps
I kinda hate how the words "war thunder" just means tanks now
looking up where the crew position is really a helpful advice I learn a lot from that one advice and improve my game trying to shoot at good position and mostly hull down, thank you
Thanks for the video Spookston! Now I know how to effectively engage A6Ms in my P-51! Not sure what I would do without advice like this on youtube.
And then there is the ST-A1 which acclerates incredibly slow and has a maximum of 75mm of armour, at BR 6.3. At least the cannon is average.
I hate that Tank. I even enjoyed Pt-76B with APCR and made good progress , but not with ST-A1. Just went to Type60 and yeeting enemies by aggrssive flanking
Hey, the Chi-Tos and Chi-Ri are oversized Pz 4, in which, Pz 4 gets 4.0, while the Chi-Tos are 4.7
Like Chi-Ri II is fine at 5.0 since is the japanese 'Tiger' and the gun with the assisted loader mechanism makes it up for the br 5.0, but is kinda oversized and the armour is 75mm in the front and is not angled
But for the Chi-Tos, the Chi-To are esentially the japanese 'Panther' but they resemble more as a Pz IV, in with both guns have similar penetration schemes, and japanese having more HE filler into the Type 4 Kou shell
and while gaijin upped the Br of the Chi-Nu Kai from 3.7 to 4.3 now. but still, Chi-Tos being an oversized Chi-Nu II it should be imo the 4.3, and maybe the Chi-To late because of the smaller turret and slightly angle frontal plate it would keep being 4.7 and scale up to the Chi-Ri II in 5.0
But Chi-Nu Kai shouldnt be 4.3 either, it was fine at 4.0 and then it would have been more helpfull to have the Chi-To at 4.0 to make a line up and then the Late variant to 4.3, and Chi-Ri II well 5.0 but because of its dimensions and relatively 'thin' armour, 4.7 wouldnt be affected at all
@@fuso8639 i actually want the chi ri 2 to get the better shell for it's 37, why? It would be unironicly a pretty great cannon against light tanks
@@aregulargenericname8794 i know what you mean, it has the Type 1 37mm, in other words, the same gun as the Ka-Mi, in which it has a shell that can pen up to 57mm, the Type 1 APHE, but we have to get only the Type 94 shell even though it would be fine to replace the shell or just make it 1 more modification
@@fuso8639 I want my type 1 aphe or else im rioting
I already knew all this information, but just hearing it from somebody really made me think. Thank you.
Spookton YOU ARE THE BEST PLAYER IN WARTHUNDER I LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU PLS MAKE MORE VIDS WE ALL LOVE YOUR VIDS
I quit WT because i'm done being angry
My only problem is top tier SPAAs…that’s it…
It’s almost impossible to CAS at top tier.
Ha ha deserved for playing CAS
yeah you need insane skill to CAS outside of AA's range
Git gud
@@Liquid_Architecture Insane skill? Sideclimb 16 km away from battlefield.
Get to 8000 meter.
Fly to battlefield.
Airbrakes out, throttle zero and then bomb, rocket, GBU or AGM at your target.
Pull up again and repeat.
Vertical scanning of the best SPAA aren't higher then 30 degrees.
So even if you are 3 clicks out at 3 km heigh you usually out of scan zone.
Honestly top tier ground is so bad when it comes to air vehicles. Helis aren't fun to play, face or kill. Planes are about the same although takes a bit more skill than helis. Playing SPAA is a boring point and click adventure game, even more so when my SPAA costs 25 000 to repair. Top tier ground desperately needs a new kind of game mode, some kind of EC mode where tanks and air vehicles are balanced.
Appreciate the tips and advice.
I was suffering in an M4A3E8 and then I check YT to see you upload this. I feel attacked
Step 1: stop playing.

Spookston, you should do a video compilation of volumetrics skrewing you over, it sucks to have it happen to you, but believe it or not it's fairly entertaining for others. Even just 2-3 minutes is good enough, would love to see you do a video like that!
here's hoping.
Nice and short and very informative video mate. I have atleast 800 hours in the game and i can certainly vouch that playing while upset causes great losses, once you reach tier 4 or upper ranks since the repair costs are pretty high, you loose more than you make.
Probably the best advice i can give its, don't get stressed out with war thunder, just try to chill and have fun i had really bad health problems because of stress.
Great advice. Especially about not letting frustration get to you. Along those lines, I’d add - by all means do your best to defend against aircraft but treat destruction from the air as just bad luck. It’s easy to get frustrated after driving all the way to the action, only to be bombed by a plane suicide diving or pulling up from a valley with zero throttle so you don’t see or hear it coming, before you’ve even seen an enemy sometimes. There are situations where nothing you could have done would have saved you, getting frustrated or beating yourself up is just counterproductive. Torpedos in naval can be the same. Sure, there are things you can do to minimise your chances of being torpedoed, but sometimes someone from the mosquito fleet creeps up or you’re too busy fighting to align yourself to an island to protect from torpedos. I started enjoying myself a lot more when I stopped letting bombs or torps frustrate me and just considered them an act of god much of the time. The same applies in general but not as much, for a regular death. Sometimes the enemy gets the drop on you, sometimes you run into two or three vehicles and the teammates you were advancing with have all just died. Much like a real battle, there are huge elements of luck in combat. As long as it’s battle type randomness and not RNG, I’ve learned to be OK with it.
This helped me so much lol. Average game is like 2-3 kills where it used to be like 0 kills and 3 deaths
Good video man
Thank this vid is going help me lot
I have to say I really like whenever he gives general advice like this but one thing that would be extremely interesting is to maybe go more into certain playstyles. Most of the time from your content you usually go more into flanking which seems to be the best thing to do most of the time. But what about brawling, it is a topic I hear alot of people talk about but not many on how to play. Anyway thanks for the good content as always Spookston
this game is magic, havent played in forever and just came back, immediately get 3 pretty good games at a br im not usually good at (as in, with vehicles i dont really like)
thanks for the help
😁
Even tho i have played wt for like 3-5 years now this vid really helped me out lol
thanks spookston
:>
A man with the outro of sweet sweet halo jazz is with subscribing too. :)
Thanks for the tips. I used to get so upset if I did not play well and got taken out right away. I used to look at players Stats and that would upset me. Now I play just for fun it doesn't matter how many kills I get or how quickly I may die. I watch the kill cam and think that was a great shot that person did and learn from it. Stay calm and relaxed you will always get killed in the game. I think more youtubers should show themselves getting taken out so people know it is not easy game.
One reason I love watching Squire - he shows himself getting blown up quite regularly and manages to make it entertaining!
I've been getting back into it and the best thing to do is find your spot. Yesterday I went on a 10 kill streak game, and the next one I had 6 kills. Always be patient and play around cover, never think your safe and use your eyes to examine your surroundings. Even though the gameplay is slow enemies can pop up on you faster than you can even blink.
There's a lot of good advice on here from the video and from people in the chat thanks
Good advice, hope to catch you in a game
I would love to see a full match with commentary from you. It would give us a look of how you play
This was actually helpful, particularly the last advice. I've had like 3-4 days in a row where I just suuuuck. Bottom 3 on my team every game, just absolutely demolished without accomplishing naything. Then I had days where I just magically do pretty decent. Not the best by any means, but still in the upper third of players on my team. And I don't think I did much differently besides being in a better mood and maybe having a bit more luck.
Hey this is a cool video for beginners and even vets
Thank you very useful
The most fun I've had recently was just squadding up with a buddy with a top tier and going into top tier with a KV-2 and just one tapping most tanks, made quite a haul of SL's too.
honestly this is great advice, for a long time ive been beating myself up over 2 kills per game for a long time
Thanks for this. I never have and never will play the game, but this is pretty cool!
I really want to see a video of Spook just going map to map and showing us where he likes to go and why he likes going there.
Been a teaching influence in the game since 2013, and the biggest advice I always give is play to YOUR strengths, not just the vehicle. If you thinking you can sneak around in a KV2, go for it. wanna flank in a T26? You can do that. Be effective having fun.
Being patient is the key, also familiarize maps, esp slopes that gives you advantage.
