How the matchmaking at 6.0 has changed over the years is really something to see. You went from American teams dominqted by bombers and attackers 3 years ago to now having american teams filled with f4us, p51s and spitfires. Meanwhile german teams have 4 ju288s, 2 me 410s and like 3 fighters. Makes for interesting carry games thats for sure.

It's kinda funny. Back in the day, I was grinding up US/UK, and the 5.0-6.7 BR range was the fucking bane of my existence. Teams were shit, Germans were always above you, and there were one or two He 177s that were still too fast and too high to catch. Impossible to play. These days, I felt like going up Germany again after stopping around 5.3 a few years ago... and now German teams are unplayable. I just wanted to experience what the heck the Ta 152H was all about... but it's not 2019 anymore. Wild.

Tip from WWII pilots: to prevent nose over while breaking, alternated between left and right breaks. In WT, this translates to: hold break as usual when you land, but also press “q” and “e” and “q” and “e”, etc, until you stop.
that aim tho. I've quite a lot of experience in this thing, but I can't seem to get used to the low velocity of the German cannons. Feels like you're throwing bullets instead of shooting them lol. Gj Defyn.

Because i am already next to the base anyway And before everyone suddenly died out of nowhere it was potentially going to be a 1v3 In the end it was probably a mistake
The 5.7-6.7 bracket is some of the most fun you can have in War Thunder. Unfortunately, I think this bracket broke for everyone with the introduction of the 288. The 288 is a great lions grinder but the 288 is almost exclusively played by people who fly to a base and die or do nothing but bomb the whole match. It makes the bracket unplayable some days. The full lobbies with 7 or 8 fighters always always go good, whether I win or lose, just because it's that much fun. edit: My favorite plane to play in the whole game is the 152H, just because its so balanced and knock outs are so satisfying.

You are a true master of air battles!
So i haven't played much since February. I played a few hours last week, and decided to jump on today. Generally, I get one or two kills before being eaten alive by the enemy. But today, I kept hearing "target prioritization" in my head and remembered all the stuff you teach in your videos and finished a game with 4 kills and 2 assists. All from not being too greedy and targeting the more dangerous planes first. I generally just go after the first plane I see and get tunnel vision, even though I know there are other enemy planes around. But I decided to have some discipline and peel off when I couldn't get a shot. Felt weird not going after a potentially easy target, but it def helped in the long run as it was one of my best matches ever. And to top it off, I actually had dogfights and it wasn't shooting down planes flying in a straight line because the player was AFK.

If you feel a game is unwinnable as the last person left, your best bet is to just land at the airfield and J out. It doesn't count as a death. You'll have a much better time if you play as a support. Don't have to dogfight if you're not confident in your abilities, its still very good strictly supporting your team or bomber hunting. You don't have to be a wasted slot on your team and drag out games for the enemy. Like you aren't going to really get any reward if you don't contribute outside of a tuppence of SL so you're wasting your own time too. If there's at least one other fighter on your team and they're not incompetent most games are winnable, or at least survivable while still helping what's left of your team even if you don't have God aim. Just don't over commit on anyone when there are planes above you and you'll be fine.

@@safty8240 Once again, a mile (~1.2km) difference in height makes a huge difference, especially since he (DEFYN) had more energy and a better chance at a turn in that climb. If the P-51H committed to that climb battle, he would have ended up at a much, MUCH slower speed while the Ta-152 could pull extremely tight circles at those speeds using his landing flaps. DEFYN could have crossed the 51H's nose in that scenario but it would have been very slow if it had decided to climb with the 152 and would require extremely precise timing to get good shots at the 152.

Early 109's (E-4/E-7, F-4), Ki-61 are alright but just feel like worst 109's to me, 202's are pretty good but lean a bit more toward being turn fighters, early 190's can energy fight decently but a lot more punishing if you make mistakes than the 109's so most people strictly BnZ with it, P-38 used to be an amazing energy fighter but they did change the flight model a while ago so not sure how it performs now, first Corsair can energy fight well just because it drastically outperforms almost everything in its BR range once it gets to altitude (most later Corsairs can only really BnZ), Yak-3 (and P-39 which plays similarly) is an amazing energy fighter at 1.5-3km even though most people just turn fight at ground level or altitude camp at 5k+ where it loses all its performance (which keeps you alive but its unfun lmao), J2M2 and Ki-100 are completely broken at their BR's if you energy fight with them. Here's a neat little graph I found going over some of the popular aircraft lines. i.imgur.com/SsImhEL.png
