Hey, everyone! I've got a new tips and tricks video for all game modes of ground forces in War Thunder. Check it out! kzread.info/dash/bejne/f3t2traipd2fd6Q.html

A few extra tips 1. Press C to look around corners 2. Press I to shutoff engine, most useful when in a concealed spot 3. Angle/Sidescrape 4. Do not be in front of the advance 5. Never trust your teammates

I remember when I was infront of a teammate and he was watching the other road. I was shooting at some SPAA far away and he turned around to try to get the kill or assist. As soon as he turned an IS4M came down that road he was watching and killed us both from the behind.

yeah i play as my team mates are bots, some times i even think they are more tips -use your rangefinder when you are waiting for enemies, i started to do this a while ago ae when you are in the flank waiting for people to come and it works. - if you doubt aim for their cannon, is not a good advice if you aren't a good shooter, it may give you time to decide what to do against hard targets. -Use smoke as a fake bait, in fast tanks such as m24 you can throw few smoke granades then go around covered by a hill and take the flanks of people waiting for the smoke to fade. - turret better than hull, if you hear an enemy in your rear is better to turn your turret than moving the whole vehicle, you make less noise, and some people wont see you until is too late.

yeah but it feels nice when u land a hit

My ten cents of tips. 7+ years of playing. How time flies. 1. Open custom matches & practice fighting the AI in the tiers you will be fighting negative -2 to plus +2 or more, this is better then doing real battles. It will save you SL & give invaluable map intelligence. The AI is enough to learn from & is very forgiving. This works with Ground, Air & Marine. 2. Learn your maps. Custom battles are excellent for map familiarization & exploration. So, when your in game your not tempted to go & explore. 3. Again go into "Protection analysis" familiarize yourself with your vehicles & the opponent vehicles. 4. Again USE YOUR BINOCULARS! you can see more & faster. The seconds matter in battle. 5. Train your crews beyond the basic & invest your crew points. 6. Only you matter, however if possible, cover your teammates but do not take unnecessary risks. DO NOT TRUST YOUR TEAMMATES. They will get you killed to get the enemy to spend their shell on you then properly baiting them/smoking or glancing/bouncing a blow. 7. Learn how to deploy smoke or countermeasure appropriately that will not handicap your self or your team. 8. When you come to a corner where there is a opponent on the adjacent side, bring yourself close to the corner. Press C to allow you to peek around the corner. If your confident with your vehicle expose a steep angle of armor this will bait an undisciplined player to take a shot, likely it will bounce. Or use smoke grenades. 9. When your critically damaged & on fire DO NOT EXTINGUISH THE FIRE IMMEDIATELY. Attempt to neutralize the threat prior to fire extinguishing. You will last longer. 10. Do not revenge kill. Remain tactical & objective orientated. There time is coming. 11. Seek the high ground always but do not expose. Do not crest hills. Use cover & again use your DAMN binoculars to see over the hill. 12. When you’re in a fighter plane in RB or other. Escort your bomber if possible. Gaijin mostly puts you out of useful range of a successful escort, so dive to build energy/speed to try to make up for the distance. 13. If you’re a bomber climb! you need '20,000 feet or equivalent to have a chance or do what you want. People are unpredictable. Plus, watch for UFO Japanese planes. You will need a guardian angle. 13. Know your plane & weaknesses! 14. Helicopters are better off in realistic battles. But careful as soon as you spawn some one sees you before you see them. 15. Check out the mobile side of warthunder & play in the officers club. 16. If you don't have tools or ammo, go to your or a check point, where you can repair or reload. 17. Respect your opponent. You will engage them differently. 18. If you feel your team is reckless remind them to "fight smart" you may change there gears from casual to engaged. 19. Try not to create a traffic jam in spawn let the faster vehicle go first. Be courteous. 20. Do not ever go with a full load 20 to 35 rounds max. 21. Do not ever go with minimal fuel in airplanes. Rather flame then blow. 22. Learn the holy trinity of tank designs ! Speed, Armor & Fire power. If possible research how armor was deployed/maneuvered it will also help. Side note same with planes. I am rambling I can go on but I should stop.

I would also include to not max out your ammo capacity, as the more ammo you pack into your vehicle, the more chance it will have that somebody is going to ammo rack you. Personally I always keep 25 shells on me and I portion it as 3 HE shells and 23 other shell with highest penetrating values. As how I experienced, 25 shells is quiet enough, esspecially in higher BRs where everybody is basically just 1 shotting eachother with HEATFS or in the case of the british, APFSDS (which isn't always killing you or your target always in one shot)

@GabrielBarbosa-gs6vk

2 жыл бұрын

I usually take around that much, but keep an eye for ammo rack displacement, for instances Type 74 is best to carry only 17-18 bullets (not sure if it`s 16 and one on the gun or 17 and one on the gun), if you place more it starts filling the frontal rack, and we all know where that goes... stuff like IS series i usually don`t carry more than 10-12 cuz reload takes too long, so I usually don`t use them all in game. Also using HEAT above 9.0 is a nightmare, believe me. Learn to use APFSDS. Some tanks have almost triple protection in same plate from HEAT or HESH, than with APFSDS, cuz thats how composite works, and thats without considering the Bricks of ERA, that in lower tiers 8.0 to 10.0 usually only work against HEAT (only the recent ones like kontact 5, etc, protect against Kinetic, aka APFSDS), so even more protection also the slower speed of HEAT round that makes it drop faster, so less accurate.

few more tips 1) learn to snipe (dont be fooled by "coward noob camper" stuff if your camping site covers a good portion of the map your literally locking the enemy especially if it covers 2 cap points) 2) flank if possible 3) dont clog an area (ive seen literal traffic ingame like bruh were in a war here) 4) never trust but still try to save your teammates (seriously dont feed enemies with SP i see people get discouraged for not getting many kills let the enemy side deal with it) 5) tag heli direction and never ignore them

Hence instakill. PS: the left German TD lineup are glass cannons, so more mobility but no armour, the right TD lineup on the other side....

0:31 concealment and cover 2:18 firing on the move 3:13 always be on guard 3:49 know enemy armor values and weak spots 4:26 use your binoculars 5:09 pick a good plane to use for air support. Learn dive bombing. 6:10 just play. You need to learn over time!

another tip i myself know. 1.for tanks starting a battle dont rush in and then die. find a good spot to sit in but not too long since enemies will triangulate your position through scouts, hit markers, aircraft spots etc. 2.for lighter tanks etc chaffee or the puma never go head to head. you will die. Try flanking and hitting them from the achilles heel even if you cannon can penetrate their front ( you prob get gaijoobed with non pen, ricochet etc or just miss) 3. if you are unsure where to shoot (example is-7) always take out the gun or breech. This basically makes sure he cannot kill you if you miss (take in mine 12.7mm machine guns for light armoured vehicles) 4. do not ever get greedy for kills. Sure Target Destroyed is satisfying but rushng out to finish someone most likely will get you finished. Keep in mind there are enemies everywhere. They just are waiting. 5. for aircraft doing CAS always pull up about 400+m altitude when diving. If you are using planes such as the ju87 use the airbrakes (default is H) and also set your throttle to 25 percent to 0 percent. This makes sure you do not get so fast that your planes becomes a v1 rocket that cannot maneuver. try using 0percent throttle because it reduces the sound your aircraft makes= you can prob jump some poor spaa. 6. for everything in war thunder. Always be conscious about your surroundings. all the time. This reduces the chance someone gets to jump you. and reduces the noob starter mistake of tunnel vision. 7. your settings. Disabled the settings which enables grass, bushes etc to show up in your binoculars and gun sights. This emoves the annoying grass that blocks your sights. if you are that tryhard, set your quality to low since in low quality all the realistic effects such as grass etc and shading are gone.

Awsome vid. Went from getting destroyed every game to getting atleast one kill or assist with every spin.

When getting straffed by an aircraft turn sideways or if they are close go toward the aircraft. It will limit or eliminate the amount of shots land on your vehicle. Unless the top of your tank and the front is well armored. In that case do not turn your weak spot toward the fire. Learn the optimal angle for your vehicle to make the most of armor. Unlock parts and fpe before any other mods so you are not made useless but minor damage. Do not buy things on sale just because they are on sale. Test drive everything, look in the vehicle info at pros and cons and vehicle usage. Also google what people have to say about different vehicles. Great vehicles are made into turds by having a high repair cost or changes to BR. Want to be op with a premium vehicle? There is one sure fire way. Find a new (the newer the better) vehicle that has dominating characteristics and play the heck out of it. Use it as much as you can before it's BR is changed. It will be in a higher BR after a while and it might still be good or it will be nerfed to the dirt. Do not rush to higher BR. Enjoy the game and take advantage of lower costs to save SL. You may feel rich but your SL will deplete fast in higher BR. Do not be a mode zealot. Some vehicles are fun and work great in AB some in RB. Be ok with switching to where the fun is. Weak spots are typically on the sides and rear of tanks. Do not bother learning every tank just learn the exceptions. Projection analysis can be great for this but so can AB. Play in AB and the cross will show green when you can pen. When trying to ambush or use cover do not be an ostrich. Just because you can not see an enemy does not mean they cant see you. Do not bury your head in the sand. Instead have awareness what parts are hanging past walls or what enemies might see from different elevation. People will snipe you through windows (you should do this too). You can shoot through walls and some buildings. Some will not even be destroyed. I hope Gaijin fixes this so anything that can be shot through is destroyed but this is likely not going to be fixed.

Would you have known those tanks were in those bushes without the red indicator showing up at 1:21?? I'm honestly amazed at that little clip.

This video could use a sequel. Headphones to locate tanks by their engine sounds. sidescraping corners. using MGs to kill planes or just get free kills when they crash. Which enemies to prioritise in a group. When to fire and when to let them pass. There's probably a few more meta tricks that have developed recently too.

Pro tip: Use the Il-2s as cannon cas... maybe take the 250s for really heavy tanks or rockets to deal with AA but your main waepons are your cannons top down :)

Started Playing again, and thanks for the tips. Still a bad shot/aim... but well.. guess have to fix mouse sensitifity.. But this might help me improve..

I've been playing on and off for years but only got serious in the last few months... actually grinding and getting into the game.. honestly the 2 biggest things that have helped me are 1) USE RANGEFINDER! And if you have time, adjust your sights manually. Accurate shots are everything. And 2) making sure that I don't field tanks that are too far below the BR of the match.

Do you have keybind guides for all vehicles? I know default is fine but Im guessing RB mode will have more controls?

“Shoot while on the move” Me without stab: “weeee, tenk go bouncy”

Remember that local security (good cover or concealment) often comes with long range exposure (from a nearish hill or from passing planes). It’s a nasty aspect of WT map design; “let’s make a cozy spot here and a nice sniping spot into it here”.

I've picked up warthunder a couple months ago but have only gotten into hard this month. I feel like I'm actually pretty good, but I just don't know where to go and overwatch, or where I'm would tactically be best for my team

I find playing dead works in sim. I literally hid right in front of someone when I ran out of ammo by hiding directly behind a dead tank and not moving.

Thanks, War Thunder is a frustrating game for me, but fun anyways. In a game I would rather be consistently bad or consistently decent, but in War Thunder I sometimes can't even destroy an enemy in an entire match and other times I will survive an entire match in one tank with a few kills.

1:03 what the fuck was that bounce lmao

Well im most certainly not the best player out there but i think these tips make the biggest differences. 1) Corner checking. Use C to check around corners instead of driving blindly. This is something so important and you gotta make it an habit. 2) Limited binocular usage. Use binos just to check if something is a tank or not and when fighting on long range. In cqc using too much bino is a disadvantage since it limits your line of sight. 3) Know your tanks strengths. If your tank has long reload dont wander alone. If your tank is fast flank. If your tank has well shell velocity snipe. And know enemies weaknesses (stuff like overall armor layout included). For example most heavy tanks have 10+s reload. And mostly weak on lower glacis plate. Centurion series have high penetrating high velocity APDS shells with stabilizers but they are slow. 4) Dont lose your cool and play for fun. A lot of skills in this game is earned thru time. Like ranging spotting map knowledge tank knowledge etc. You will get a hold of these with time. 5) Blame gaijin when you die and hop into the next match. Dont care about your stats since this game doesnt really make sense and isnt balanced at all. Yeah these are my experiences from 3 years of wt.

Hey Tankenstein, I've got a question that also doubles as a video idea, if possible: Started the game with this video, and came back to it almost a year later, now super into this game (1,314 hours so far). I've played ground up to 9.7 US, and despite getting decent around 6.3, I've since plateaud and don't know how to improve. I'm just statistically in perfect mediocracy-- 50% win-loss rate, ~1 KD, etc, and want to get really good like some of my friends (who've played the same amount of time) but just don't know how to improve. Learned a lot of the maps, learned strengths and weaknesses of certain weapons--stuff that just comes over time--but still don't do too well at anything above 6.3. So here's the video idea, which stems from a question of mine: "How do I get better in War Thunder, as someone who already has played for a long time." I say this because there are currently no videos on the topic; All of the videos are for new players, stuff like learning ammo rack spots, pressing "i" to turn off your engine, angling your hull, etc. I've noticed you mentioned in many of your videos that you've improved since the last few videos, and wanted to know how you do it, or what overarching goals to reach for. Been watching for over a year, and still watch every video. Keep it easy man!

The tips are really useful but I never get to use them because I always get fully uptiered

warthunder things that prevent u from grinding: 1. target undamaged *you probably see where i got stuck*

Remember, its just a game. If you fail, you fail. Make sure to have fun.

Use the binoculars to aim not your turret binoculars can see through foliage and on the other side of a hill once you reach the crest without exposing your tank x marks the spot once lined up fire as you switch back to cannon sights you will shoot through the brush unseen by the enemy

1:02 Gaijined moment

WT uprates me until I'm ready to stop playing then sticks me in my own tier so I can double ace. Then back to getting pooped on for 20 games. Lol they put me in my own br just often enough that I don't hate the game, but not often enough for it to be truly fun.

How do I measure range and how do I use the distance thing

For cas i reccomend the wyvern S4

great show mr T, but where is the smoke! I love smoke and i love my tow cable. No one seems to ever mention tactical use of smoke! A jumbo with a towcable, smoke shells and few dead tigers can hold a flag for a long time!

I think my waekspots for yhe m3 lee as a germany player is the side commanders cuppula the flat peice of armour on the hull and anywere on the turret

Ironically, I got a war thunder ad watching this.

As a new player, my biggest struggle is not knowing where and when your enemy would show up

That’s the point tho

An army study conducted in 1954 showed that the tank that shot first usually won.

yes that is pretty much accurate , in 2nd world war tank crew survival rate was 80%

Map knowledge and situational awareness are 2 most important things. Then comes vehicle weak spots knowledge and aim.

As more i study balistic protection against germans tigers and panters, i almost every face off i shot in specific angles that my gun cant punch it

The challenge i have in ground RB is visibility. For some reason i can’t see the enemy but they can. There also my ping but theres nothing i can do with that.

For binoculars it rb and y button on xbox

I really struggle with long range kills and spotting people without thermals

The longer you wait, the more skilled the community gets

Pick planes to cas. As if we needed more planes in ground RB.

What skill can I hone to shoot into smoke, trees, and bushes where I can't even see the tank and score a hit? Like 2:38

One of the best tips I can give is simple. Don’t go first, sure you might not get all the kills but, if there is a tank hidden behind a house or something it’ll hit the first tank so you’ll know it’s there the other tank will be dead

Im a new player, i started memorizing tier 2 tank armoring so i can easily take em Out. I think armor analysis is very useful

Most tanks with high profile store their ammo on the side of their hull. Most tanks with high profile turret store their ammo on the back of the turret. Tanks with lower profile usualy store the ammo below.

i know this wont help me but I'm still gonna watch it.

Thank you I just went from a noob to an Average player

Nice wideo

The binoculars on Consol are RB+y

One of the best tips i can give is try to determine when the enemy will shoot at you in a duel, so you can move slightly just as you think he is about to fire... Move the turret, rotate the hull, spam with MG and he might miss the weak spot he is trying to hit

especially with bouncy russian higher tier tanks, you can wiggle your hull and turret while reversing (hold s while afternating between a and d, combined with left right mouse movements) and bounce a lot a lot of shells. This is especially good when versing germans and americans, but not so much the british as APDS just doesn't tend to bounce very often.

Its very hard to play on Xbox war thunder on start but right now I am at Panther D

Can you make a video on how to spot Enemies better I have a hard time spotting them only been play for a couple days. Maybe graphic setting video, 🙏

@harits3183

spotting tanks is about knowledge about maps, positioning, and yes, graphic settings. for me experience is the best teacher, so u know where enemy usually appears, you know where to spot enemies, but graphics doesnt really matter.

Germany because of that leo 2a6 second best is Russia since they have a lot of cool vehicles to make lineups and third is America, then goes Sweden,Britain, France, Italy etc

When I used the binoculars for the first time in 4 BR. I pointed it up a bit, aimed a tank like 300 m away and fired and I immeidately took out the Ammunition, I used a T-34E STZ.
