    Nice and useful video, extra tip: In the controls option you can find "Switch secondary weapons" if you assign something there, you can change the order for ordnance, meaning you can choose between them, for example, you found something light but don't want to use your 1000Kg bombs, you can switch for 500/250kg and get him, depending on your situation.
    I hope it is understandable, I'm doing my best!

    I have a tip about rockets:if your airplane can't have HEAT rockets don't worry.If you have HE rockets and you can't aim for the roof of a tank (for some reason) you can try aim the rockets under the tank because their underside usually don't have a lot of armor.If i didn't explain this tip corectly you can correct me:))

    But since I 90% of the time play with Planes, I can't use it to full potential. But I'd love to learn how 2 Ground RB so I can use Attackers more effectively, and to have more variety of play.
    So I'm looking forward for more Bootcamp series, and hope for a more explanation from the other side, Plane players who try to set their feet to Ground RB.
    Wishing you the best, and see you in your next video!

    Thanks for this. I prefer low tier and use planes a lot more than tanks and Im crap at using rockets and doing bombing runs. This has helped tremendously. My advice for anyone in my position currently is to use your preferred fighter and be anti-cas for a bit until the skies are clear and then become recon by marking any enemies that your allies might not see

    the sad thing about this amazing video is that 9 out of 10 times the team you are in jsut cannot work together at all, and you end up trying to do everything at once, which leads to over extending and then a quick return to the garage with a high chance of someone in the team being angry and reporting you as well as bitching in a DM. happens to me all the time, and it is annoying as shit.
