    How it feels to play War Thunder for the first time. Experiencing the aviation grind to get a better plane, improving your flying skills and learning about air combat strategies.

    I honestly think that playing strategically is the way to go as your FAR better then everyone else in the game. It is also better to play strategically in air realistic which is a lot harder as the turn rates and speeds of aircraft are actually described in the menu of the plane once it is in the crew slot.

  • @wyvern716
    @wyvern716 Před rokem +256

    My number one advise to new players is to not fully trust the arcade lead indicator. Thats where you aim to hit the center of mass on the plane, coincidentally this is usually where the plane can absorb the most bullets before dying. So you want to aim in front a bit and to the sides in order to hit the cockpit and engines. Do not pump endless ammo into the tail section of a plane, shoot the engines to score the kill.

    • @kireta21
      @kireta21 Před rokem +18

      also, aim indicator shows where plane will be if it maintans current direction, so you have to additonally correct for any maneuvers it's performing. Another tip, with wing mounted guns, is to roll your plane to level plane with percieved direction of targetted plane. Unless plane is exactly in your coverange, bullets will spread across its path, greatly increasing chance to hit something important. VERY useful against bombers, because they can't turn into zombies if you pilot kill them.

Also you can't Land when you are in arcade Mode (which you were in), and realistic is where that Energie concepts are, but that tutorial video way overcomplicated it, Is very simple, You have height, you can point down to turn height into speed, you have speed you can Pulk up to turn into height, etc. Energie is speed, so Energie fighting is prett much speed fighting where you want to be faster than you're enemy to stall trap him or just have more Speed and get above and jump him, etc., etc., etc., and also yes height is very very important when you are in realsitic as it count for a lot more since you aren't as fast and "floaty" in general.

    @TheLazyKat Před rokem +95

    This game has a huge learning curve especially for air. Which is why players should focus on improving common skills like controls, aim, flap controls etc. They will get better at the game and get more kills, get more rp and then the ""grind"" wouldn't be as painful, they'll have fun by getting more kills and wins.
    However most players, instead of trying to get better, just do random things like base bombing to get more rp to unlock higher tier planes. Their skills don't increase, while the skill ceiling of their planes keep increasing. When they've reached the top vehicles they're too bad at the game, will die too much, lose Silver lions, they'll naturally get frustrated but will blame it on the game.
    Sadly, the later is what 90% of the players nowadays do which is why all the negative comments about the """""war thunder grind""""

    @toxicatto6074 Před rokem +69

    Some tips:
    1. get as much altitude as you can, and if you can't get above the enemy, level your plane to get as much speed as you can (although you still need to control the speed so that the controls doesn't stiffen too much). This is called energy.
    2. Use the free look button, default C. This can help spot enemies.
    3. If you're above an enemy use a tactic called boom and zoom (or BnZ). Dive towards the enemy, then using the speed you've gained during the dive, climb to regain altitude and repeat the whole process until the enemy is dead. Keep in mind you still need to lookout for enemy planes so you don't get surprised killed. I would suggest to dive towards enemies that have the highest altitude, as they usually have the most energy.
    3. If you're below an enemy, immediately level out your plane to gain more speed.
    4. If an enemy is diving onto you, turn to the direction of the enemy while doing a shallow dive, and evade the enemies gunfire as much as possible. Easiest way to do this is simply put your mouse onto the enemy, but control the plane manually using WASD. Here's a better explanation with actual examples. m.czcams.com/video/6d7mYVGvLq4/video.html
    5.if the enemy is on your 6, use the same wasd technique as before but this time don't turn too much, instead you roll to evade enemy gunfire. Reduce your throttle and if possible use flaps, this is to reduce your speed to force the enemy to overshoot.
    6. Learn about energy in war thunder, there are a lot of videos in youtube that can explain it better than me.
    7. For modifications in planes, focus on performance modifications first (the left side) then you can research the firepower modifications (the right side). For crew skill focus on both G force tolerance and stamina first.
    8. I'd suggest you go to the Russian tree first for planes. They offer planes that are jack of all trades, master of none.
    9. Don't be too greedy, focus on fighters first and focus on the highest fighters first, don't sacrifice your altitude just to kill a bomber or attacker. Also don't sacrifice your altitude to chase someone that is already chased by another teammate.
    10. Know the planes that you're using and you're fighting. Some planes are good at energy fighting while others are good at turn fighting. Know how to counter each plane and don't forget to search online for new planes.

    @AtlasCrafted Před rokem +2

    More really good advice ----
    Dont get tunnel vision. If someone is hard to kill, move on to another target. If you get someone on your tail while attacking someone else, peel off and fight the new guy.
    If chasing an enemy but another enemy crosses infront giving a better shot, go for him. Do not be afraid to switch targets. Focusing too much on one target makes you easy to predict and jump on.
    When being chased, do random movements. The less predictable you are, the better. Hitting the brakes so your opponent over takes you and lines up into your gunsights is a classic move, but expect better pilots to be able to counter it.
    Sometimes its better to force an enemy into a canyon so they crash or close to the ground for the same effect rather than simply shooting them.

But if you set yourself small goals like spading a vehicle or unlocking a camo or just take it battle by battle it can be highly rewarding. Obviously this game is not for everyone, so especially for all those people in the comments saying you should flee but also anyone else reading this, if you stop enjoying a game stop playing it!
