1. When to engage and disengage 2. Know your gun velocity 3. Use flaps 4. Rebind guns 5. Always look around you 6. Always climb 7. Control that throttle 8. Watch for bait/setup bait 9. Angle of attack
@HorseToothTony Same here! Recent player (on console though, will get it on PC once I install my setup) and I learned a few strategies that I will be trying out. Playing mostly air arcade and ground RB right now. Once I learn the planes better, I'll be moving to air RB.
I could go another 20! Can you please make a detailed video on aerial maneuvers? A follow up on the Yo-Yo video would be sick. Also defensive flying is something I could use an explanation for. Thanks!
you deserve alot more views, you explained this better than any other person Edit: i haven't even played 10 matches yet and i became best in my team because of you (BR:6.7)
you explained this very well because you explain in a way for a new person to understand were as a pro explaining, they would leave little details out thinking you know it already or that it seems obvious...so yeah great vid :)
Also, know your planes. Spitfires generally turn better and are slower than say, the Bf 109's. But at certain BR's, this isn't always necessarily true. That's probably the most important thing to know. Know the strengths and weaknesses of your plane and those of your enemy. Make decisions from there. Trying to Boom and Zoom a plane that is faster than you, or trying to energy trap a plane that has better energy retention than you will most likely lead to death.
Thanks for the great video. Having not played the game for 3 years and being confused as is, videos like this are a huge help in relearning the game. Looking forward to checking out additional videos from you!
Made it all the way through. Good advice. I recently tried getting into RB battles with tanks and planes so I think I'm going to be a little better after watching this. I hope I can make better videos with this advice as well.
Thanks you so much for that tip about the ammo belts! I was using tracers in my mgs and stealth in my cannons. No wonder I hardly ever got more than one kill in a game!
Liked and subscribed. I watched all even that I do not play AIR. But all those tips are good for air fight in ground rb too and after more than 6 years of playing WT I'm still a noob in planes
hi. I am pretty new to war Thunder. been playing for about a week now and your tips really helped me a lot in arcade battles ( I'm still too intimidated by RB) thanks to your tips, I recently unlocked the fw 190 A1 which is my favourite ww2 fighter. thanks for this video. subscribed.
Been playing WT for a year now, mostly Ground as I was struggling in Air a bit. Seeing this vid helped tremendously. You do deserve much more credit and subs ! Thanks for great vid !
yeah this vid is underrated. I think that some commentary upon dogfights would be nice. Gosh I wish I had such mentor in game to practice RB. Good stuff, I made it to the very last seconds.
this is good, i was wondering if i could get any more advice on the 4.0/5.0 American p51/p47/f4u lineups and how to play them in air rb great vid, made it to the end
Great video mate. Yes I did watch to the end lol. I was a hardcore arcade player until recently when I've been getting into air rb. Really enjoying the slower pace and higher skill requirement.
Air rb is satisfying. Like you said the skill gap and planning and patience of the game mode make lining up the perfect shot all worth it... i hope this helped you in some way and thanks for sticking it through the whole video
I made it! I am in the 1 percent. Thank you very much for the video, It really helped me pretty much. If I can actually implement the tactics is the other question.... You are very good at explaining stuff. Take that Sub!!
I am a tank player and finaly after 2k hours played in ground RB battle, I want to learn how to fly 😂 It's so difficult to find some good tips video thanks man see you in the sky
Great video man, but “Angle of Attack” is a term used in aviation in relation to the angle and amount of air going over the wing. Too high angle of attack, to much pitch or roll, will stall either one or both wings from lack of lift and can put you in a spin. And of course every plane has a different tolerance.
I suck so hard at air RB, it don't find it fun (mostly because I am bad) but flying straight for 10/15 minutes only to get killed in the first 30 seconds when you see your first ennemy because it is a BF 109 that boom and zoom you and you can't follow it because you lost your energy trying to evade while he just go up and try again and again until you die It is even worse when you play with a friend that is way better than you, you die early after flying 10 minutes and then you spectate your friend for another 10 minutes, at the end he win lot of sl and rp while the only things you get is depression A video on manoeuvers would be nice (if there isn't already one) for different situations
Went the whole video well done I am a 8 year veteran of war thunder... please make a video tutorial on key board / mouse settings and control for optimum handling and performance! See ya in the air RED TAIL
I've been looking for a good arb and this is it. The most complete guide I've seen yet in 2 months of looking. The one and only thing missing is a really rough pro con or just cons of each of main lines. You did a amazing job! P.s I watched the whole video. I am the .01 percent! 😂
I personally don’t learn so much here but you give a lot of good advices to new players! And of course, I have watched to the end so I let you this comment ! 😉
good camera control, throttle, and flap control means you are gonna do well, practice is all you need after those and of course, knowing your aircraft and what you are fighting
Thanks for your effort, I watched it all the way. I just recently started playing RB after years of playing only AB and its still pretty difficult for me to keep stay on top of things and don't be shot by an enemy I didn't even see coming. A lot of practice and hard work still in front of me
Yeah! I feel you on practicing and the hard work. Once you play enough most fights are all the same. Find the groove that works for you! And in no time you will be getting aces
@@horsetoothtony7932 would you recommend starting playing RB in a low tier vehicle? I mostly played Tier IV Russian planes and I think starting tier I RB might be easier as it's a little bit slower paced maybe?
@@horsetoothtony7932 I started playing RB with Swedish J20 today and was getting some far better results the last couple of games. Still gotta figure out what the ideal key bindings are for me, but I'm making progress. Thanks a lot!
Also one tip from me Know how long you can play a game For me I only can play up to 2 hour More gaming session my mental just can't handle it and slowly ended up in the bottom at the scoreboard
Well what an unexpected video 19:35 rolls around. FUUCK MY KIDS AWAKE, "Hold on Kiddo!" Then the realization hits that's not my kid I'm hearing oh wait now it's my kid I'm hearing and he sounds kinda pissed at being startled awake..
So, your tip about climbing with America and how their planes climb into the battle happens way to often at 8.3 US RB; can't really get a win either as the enemy team has the altitude and my team dies in three minutes.
Hey brother, just 2let u know that yes , the last tip was helpful and your bids aren't difficult to sit through . Between yourself and yeti , I've hammered around 4hrs of tip videos for ARB as I'm still within my 1st yr and find getting multiple kills is a serious challenge. My plane IDing and knowledge of which planes have which characteristics is still lacking , but I can definitely say that your doing great work , helping noobs to feel comfortable and making WT more fun in the process
Hi tysm for this video it helepd a lot but i also wanted to ask how do you see how much ammo, fuel left in you plane and also when you have mg and cnn on lmb and rmb what button do you use to zoom thanks.
its major advantage is the turn rate on the fighter it has early spitfire turn... but the major down side is those 7.7mm peashooters. your gonna have to make your limited cannon shots count. i would bait players into turn fighting you
@@horsetoothtony7932 Thanks for the advice, just to share a fun story. I was returning to the base after assisting my teammate in a dogfight. And there was an enemy fighter flying above the base. I ran out of cannon shots, but extremely luckily snapped his pilot with the 7.7. Laugh the hell out of me. Do you have that fighter, just saying it will be really nice if you can make a video using spitfire.
Ik this was like a year ago lol, but you got a sub from me man this is gonna help me out a bit when i start playin, i just downloaded today and im lookin to be air support for my buddy whos most likely going to be a tank ground unit, and im gonna try my best to become an ace fighter/bomber pilot
@@horsetoothtony7932 i do know that a lot of tanks are weak near the tracks, but that will just cripple their moveability, i see other tanks take out their tracks and puncture through to the inside easily
No real good nation i think! Usa maybe! They have the most guns and ammo out of the nations and survivability! little forgiving on missing shots and can take some hits and keeep going!
You don’t use IAS, your distance is measured in feet, your altitude measured in feet. Every tool online available to you uses IAS, as well as Altitude in meters and your distance measured in meters. Including your gun convergence distance measured in meters. Why do you handicap yourself with your unit selection?
Not a handicap for me personally. It's easier to comprehend distance with the imperial system for me. When I first started playing I was getting wrecked cause I didn't know distances or speed so switching it actually helped me out a lot
Yeah man 24 solid minutes of really good advice. Easily one of the most engaging tips videos for War Thunder. Just one question, how do you look around? I have got it set at the moment so that if I press ‘=‘ it will swap control modes and will allow me to look around, but I feel like there is a more efficient way of doing things. Any ideas?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh that would explain a thing or two. I prefer mouse aim for the precision, so I guess it might be a little difficult to look around and dogfight at the same time.
@@CoorangaCorrella when im trying not to die or need to look at where people are coming from its wasd and c to use my mouse to look but when I aim its all mouse aim
by far the best guide for this game
2 years later I hope this still is true
1. When to engage and disengage
2. Know your gun velocity
3. Use flaps
4. Rebind guns
5. Always look around you
6. Always climb
7. Control that throttle
8. Watch for bait/setup bait
9. Angle of attack
I watched all the way through. Good stuff man, some valuable knowledge for beginners and a good refresher for experienced pilots.👍
Thanks for sticking it through the video my good sir!!! Hopefully it helps you out

made it that far btw. Dope vid

“I see tracer hitting why he no blow up” 🤣 awesome dude
I usually don't watch videos that are over 15 minutes long, but this really is some quality content
you explained this very well because you explain in a way for a new person to understand were as a pro explaining, they would leave little details out thinking you know it already or that it seems obvious...so yeah great vid :)
Lots of good advice for RB air. I watched the entire video in two sittings using my CZcams "Watch Later" playlist.
Also, know your planes. Spitfires generally turn better and are slower than say, the Bf 109's. But at certain BR's, this isn't always necessarily true. That's probably the most important thing to know.
Know the strengths and weaknesses of your plane and those of your enemy. Make decisions from there. Trying to Boom and Zoom a plane that is faster than you, or trying to energy trap a plane that has better energy retention than you will most likely lead to death.
Solid video. Took a lot of hours to learn all this the hard way. Hopefully the guys a play with will use this video to learn faster haha
Yeah took me a bit to learn also!!! But when you do my god the Difference it makes
Thanks for the great video. Having not played the game for 3 years and being confused as is, videos like this are a huge help in relearning the game.

Great video man, but “Angle of Attack” is a term used in aviation in relation to the angle and amount of air going over the wing. Too high angle of attack, to much pitch or roll, will stall either one or both wings from lack of lift and can put you in a spin. And of course every plane has a different tolerance.
Ahhhhhh The more you know. Thanks for the explanation on that!!!!
2 years later and im still trying to learn mig 15 angle of attack LOL great video
Thanks for watching!!! I also have a new tip video out!!! The mig guns are hard to aim there velocity is terrible
I suck so hard at air RB, it don't find it fun (mostly because I am bad) but flying straight for 10/15 minutes only to get killed in the first 30 seconds when you see your first ennemy because it is a BF 109 that boom and zoom you and you can't follow it because you lost your energy trying to evade while he just go up and try again and again until you die
It is even worse when you play with a friend that is way better than you, you die early after flying 10 minutes and then you spectate your friend for another 10 minutes, at the end he win lot of sl and rp while the only things you get is depression
A video on manoeuvers would be nice (if there isn't already one) for different situations
great stuff. gonna put this up on my discord, will help out a lot of lads!
