10.0 player here, here are some tips I've learned: - Flank, don't be predictable. - If you peek a corner and some is there, there's a good chance they saw/heard you so do not peek out again. - Never peek with your barrel facing the open corner, if your barrel is shot, they will bum rush you. - Don't be the first guy to make the move, if you have a good position, hold it. Wait for the enemy to make a mistake. -You need to camp when you're in a good spot. -Turn off your engine whenever you can. You'll still be able to move even if you just start your engine. - Put yourself in the position of your enemy if you're in a standoff, be aware of your surroundings, where you can be killed from, especially if you're in an urban setting where there's many openings. - Shoot down planes/helicopters whenever you get the chance. - Don't let your teammates die, you will not clutch the win if all your teammates die. Help repair when you can, tow them to a safe position if you have to. - Don't take just a single ammo type, you mostly need APFSDS, but do take HE (especially if it's high penetration). This is because some light tanks tend to survive many dart shots (example being Wolfpack). - Take your time, play with a friend, this game can either make/ruin your afternoon or whenever you play. I struggle with this one personally, I get too invested in a match just for it to go to shit, and it messes with me. The people who you fight might be your allies in the next match so don't hold grudges.

What has accelerated me from a decent player to a pretty good one imo is switching up tactics on maps trying new angles and generally playing ,,stupid'' and going in at the right time can net you insane killstreaks and singlehandedly win the game sometimes, playing capable medium tanks like the lorraine, t54s, leopard, etc really helps improving situational awareness and map knowledge if you're always going to your trusty old camping spots you'll never improve and your impact in the game won't be enough

Just going to put this out there, just because you do not have an actual squad friend, doesn't mean you SHOULD keybind it to less used keys, it is 100% helpful to use squad mark with binoculars to mark and then open mini map to ping the mark to notify other teammates the enemy tank is there on the exact location you spotted them even when that squad mark is invisible to your teammates.

I think the best tip is to enjoy playing the game and actually grinding not miserably

For me, I like to keep my speed of sound on, it's always cool to hear the sound effects of the GAU-8 coming 1 second after my teammate gets obliterated.

5:57 One thing to note; while your gun reticle (small circle) may be visible in binocular view, your shell can sometimes get caught on terrain or objects because of volumetric, so it is important to adjust for how you think your shell will interact with the terrain, but not overextend using this feature. 7:42 There are a few tanks where it doesn't really matter how much ammo you carry. Some tanks (namely the late 76 shermans with the wet ammo storage,) have very small profile ammoracks, and are very unlikely to be blown up unless somebody is actively aiming there. It can be worthwhile to store a few extra rounds, but find having a bunch of smoke shells at your disposal is a great tactic I think the situational ammo loadouts best fit with my ARL-44. Since it shares a similar first stage ammo storage as the tiger 2, its easy to blow up when faced from the side, unless you're taking like only 6 or 7 rounds. There is also an extra ammo storage that lines the backside of driver and machine gunner in the hull, and since the hull is so armored, nothing but the most penetrating rounds get through. Unless a turret penetrating round overpressures, every APHE shell's explosion and spall can actually be soaked up by the hull ammo storage, and it actually acts like additional armor inside the vehicle. Ofc, almost all other vehicles do have to worry about vulnerable ammo racks, but it may be worthwhile to observe where your ammo is in test drives, and take as many as you believe is safe. Worst case scenario, you can always take less if ammo detonations are still a problem for you 22:00 Smoke is generally situational, but 1 rule I go by is only use defensive smoke as your last hope. Basically, if you are unable to fight back and have no friendlies around, only then use smoke. Smoke shells are also an important note. Sure, you can use them like smoke grenades, but they are actually really great for blinding a enemy positions as well. I've found great use for them on my jumbo, using the low profile ammorack yet large storage and having upwards of like 20 smoke shells ready to lob at an enemy that is at a threatening position or distance. Its a tactic I've rarely seen used, yet it is suprisingly very effective.

@meferswift

really fps like mindset. i use it similar way. especially on potentially camped passageway. Smoke is crucial for crossing to the sides or middle of camp friendly map like berlin

Another great use of smoke is to use smoke shells to help you cross sight-lines. Or to blind an enemy in a camped out position. Of course bearing in mind of your teams needs and capabilities.

Also don’t push ahead of your team alone. I see so many ppl race out ahead and just die. Move with the team. Wait for your team to spawn to see if the majority went to one side. You don’t want to be the only one going C if the whole team went A.

Sometimes sticking to a flank that’s not being trained by the whole team isn’t a bad idea though. I find myself taking back ups in my line up to the opposite side of the map that the majority of my team is on, usually in a light tank, and getting good scouts and good kills because the enemy’s just aren’t paying enough attention to that flank. It nets easy kills in 2nd spawn on open maps and can get you your CAS especially if you die early which can always happen no matter how good you are. It’s just a part of the game.

I'd rather race out a head and possibly just die then play with the team, get no kills, and waste a massive amount of time. I'm more likely to get kills that way before the entire enemy team gets wiped before I see them. It's better to die quickly and go back to hanger to get in another game then waste the whole game getting nothing. I'd probably play definitely if I didn't only have very limited amount of time to play so every game where I get no rp is a massive waste for me.

I've been playing war thunder for over 10 years now and I think your guide videos are some of the best I've seen. There isn't a lot that you said that I really learned anything from just because of how much experience I have but these are all great things for new/unexperienced players to know. As for smoke, I find that the cannon smoke shells are underused. It is a great way to block your opponent's site allowing you to push up and/or push to a better location. I use it a lot for helping me to advance towards a capture point that I know is highly contested, get on the point, and get out before they can find me.

Play the game for ten years and memorize all the sniping spots on the map

Smoke saved my life yesterday when I was fighting against two tanks. Managed to flank one and kill him, other one died a bit later. On light tank I am using smoke when I am retreating from position and I know I may be shot in the back, so I am using it to cover my movement back to different position. Very nice hints, thanks for clip :-)

Man I love your videos. I just found you about an hour ago I've seen 3 videos and they're all damn good.

9.3 is a decent line up for both Germany and Sweden. I enjoy using the LEO 1A5NO with T-72A, Strv ect.

The smoke on is so true, lemme paint a picture of something that happened to me I was playing Sherman 76, I’ve got a teammate next to me and am lining up for a shot when bam, he gets hit in the driver, and lets out all of his smoke I’m blind, he’s blind, but the enemy had me lined up so he took me out and them my teammate. Some people need more then the help we can give them

Smoke is my pet peeve too. I forget I have smoke when my vehicle even has it.

love how every tip video I find they are always using top tiers. yeah like ima just download the game hop on 11.7s.

Most important thing: Go to controls / common, asign a key to "show mouse curser" / in match you can click directly on the minimap / use this to actively communicate enemies to your teammates. Also, if you are repairing and an enemy is close by, report it via click on the minimap. I've seen people complain that nobody helps them repair - dont expect it if you can not tell where to expect the enemy from. I'd rather let you die than go in to help you blindly and risk getting killed in the process. You can even report where you have been killed from during the few seconds after the killcam.

An old ish pair of headphones made me so much better, especially in cities or reduced visibility, like forests. It make the game more fun as well

also an addition to the squadmarker stuff if you dont know the distance mark them and use the grid squares on the map to gauge your distance.only recommended for tanks with long reloads.

Some great tips there bud, I was an alpha tester so been playing a long while, I think your line up is so important to helping your team win. I have so many games where I see 1 or 2 deaths and players gone, you get 2 tanks and a AA with out even doing anything but dying (This happens to most of us some times). An AA can get you back in the game, at low level the Russian bread Van (ZiS-12) has got me so many caps and back in the game to help for a team win. Have as many crews as you can, I go with 8 or 9, One bomber, One fighter, 2 light, 2 med, 1 heavy, 1 AA and TD, then you can pick what the map and battle needs. This will help you plug holes in the line or get that cap for the win. See you on the battlefield. FuBaR-Lordlyn

Whenever it comes to this video, I think it’s good😂.

One more thing about the squad ping is that it allows you to accurately mark a team ping by sight instead of guessing where it is on the map. And I would add that bringing a lineup to respawn with increases your rewards and speeds up the grind by getting more wins. You can even get free kills while getting spawn camped. The biggest contributor to poor rewards and a painful grind is leaving after one death.

I only use smoke shells to try and disrupt a distant enemy. Usually, if they have me pinned down, I'll try to smoke between us so I can move to another place without getting shredded the second I pop out.

Best advice, no need to got map knowledge just 60fps and go to mid beetween a and b or b and c.

I've been accused of wallhacking cause I heard an opponent coming and been ready before they see me, I held 2 cap points on Breslau by myself and went on a 10 kill streak thanks to being able to hear the enemy tanks

looking at the minimap I feel is the most important, how many times have I died because a teammate did'nt take the second it takes to look at the map ping

15:22 speed of sound actually does make a difference. For vehicles like SPAA or helis it means you can't hear a fast jet coming towards you until it has passed you, which is a disadvantage. Turning it off is the best way to go in terms of maximizing performance but its also really cool to have on lol

What I would like to know is why every time you switch tanks that you have to buy a new crew?

ngl tho. I sometimes get the first shot off but I realised, (not sure about higher BRs), that almost all the time when I shoot someone and they shoot me at the same time and we are supposed to trade (for example my T-34 shot a 50mm Pumi), they shot will just vanish if I die but theirs wont : L

The happiness i felt when I realized i can have fun while playing rb instead of arcade (it took 4 matches to get a good one)

And if u have commander fire enabled and ur gunner is taken out u will be able to fire without having to wait for the game to switch for u

Doing a vid on capping bases & vehicles can move forward…. It’s becoming the meta not to cap & the blue team can’t move or just forget that the vehicle can actually go forward.

The worst thing about the game is not dying. It is the silver grind. Once or twice a year you can buy 1 year premium at 50% off. Doing that will remove the silver grind because with premium you can not go under 0 silver in a match. Meaning in most setting you will gain silver and you can play whatever you want and how you want without negatives to the silver account.

if you ever feel like you're not doing well or improving after you've started playing ground rb, dont feel bad about it. It takes a long time to get better at GRB and even longer to get used to the vehicles that you're gonna be using and facing against. Sometimes you'll have a insane killstreak and get 5 kills and sometimes you get sniped from a spot you didnt know existed, for that, try going to those spots yourself, learn it and see if its something that your tank can or cant do. This game is annoying and addicting, guides like these are not gonna make you better instantly, at the end of the day, its the amount of effort in learning from your mistakes and trying new things that will make you a better player in any modes.

I disagree with the stuff about smoke, if you are hit and smoke will make it harder for the enemy to shoot you, you should use it if you have it. If your team mates are so close to you that your smoke annoys them or blocks them from shooting, they are too close (spacing is important to avoid cas strikes, allows the covering of more angles and makes it harder for the enemy to observe/target multiple tanks at once). Smoke is something that people don't use enough.

They have made it “ call of duty “ style , forced front assault style . No skill anymore , no flanks , no sniping spots , no fun . Now it’s all relied on is close combat listening for enemies engine (this is completely unrealistic you Can NOT hear anything when inside a tank ) . Also spotting while Getting shot , you are visible to entire enemy team on mini map and first person . The game has gotten a whole lot arcade WOT style and it sucks . I miss when flanks and sniping spots existed, that required true skill. Tank warfare are NOTHING like this . This is all so childishly CQC fighting . For example a leopard is made for long distance or medium distance fighting , taking our advancing Russian tanks . Not rushing into the middle Of a city and listening for engines ( again you will never hear it ) you would have to get outside the tank shut the engine and then infantry kill’s you
