      I used to completely suck at air RB. Then, I started paying attention to positioning and navigation. I increased my K/D from about 0.5 to 1.8 within a matter of days.
      I knew how to fly, maneuver and aim yet without proper positioning all of this was useless.

      I used to play a game called Day of Defeat with a group called the 506th PIR which was a realism dedicated clan so to speak.
      That is a prelude to the story of my civilian live for taking military training and qualification courses for everything I could imagine.
      But during my play time with the 506 I learned about enfilade, defilade, proper covering fire, cavalry scouting tactics and techniques used during WWII and even a ton of jargon and terminology that stuck so well sometimes people mistake me for a vet when I talk to some of my friends in said slang language.
      Like us discussing a cod lobby in which I used some anti perosnelle mines and hotel echo to drop a squad, before calling in CAS and it resulting in a victory.
      But I digress, I encourage everyone to join or at least play around with joining mil sim groups, if you are at all serious about using real world tactics in games to make the best of your advantages that you can, and avoid dangerous situations and kill zones.

    Maybe this is a bit advanced but you can use the silhouette to your advantage as anyone that sees you, will engage you. So if you can survive the initial confrontation, you effectively stop the enemies' advance while they try to deal with you, which will give your own team much more options.

    • @RoneK_Actual
      @RoneK_Actual  Před 4 měsíci +31

      100%, a lot of players especially in un-stabilized tanks will stop to shoot the first thing they see out of panic reaction. So if you're confident in bouncing, you can force them to stop in the open thus making an easy kill.

      This is why I love flanking so much. Scoot around the cap and shoot someone in the rear, you get marked by them, and all of a sudden anyone around there focuses on you. It doesn't always work if you're immediately killed (read CAS'd to death), but fun nonetheless.

      I actually like to do this just to annoy people, where - especially if my gunner is already dead or somesuch - I'll just intentionally make myself as active a target as I can, to distract as many enemies as possible. If they are spending time shooting a disabled tank, they aren't hitting friendlies.

    I actually gained a lot of this by sheer osmosis playing the game. Great tips!
    SLL is one of my most used tactics. I can pinpoint enemies up to i think it's 200m away just by stopping, rotating my camera so the engine audio balances in my headphones (indicating source is directly ahead) and making sure it's not a friendly. Very, very useful in urban maps.
    The CAS tips are something I use a ton as well. No movement or firing unless necessary (that's always how I spot them), keep blended in, make a run difficult with positioning.

      Watch some Oddbawz videos. He can tell you the colour of a gunner's socks from across the map by the engine sound. As I don't use headphones I didn't really pay attention to this until last year or so, and I'm now regularly topping leader boards at all BRs. Knowing there's an enemy nearby before he knows you're there is 90% of the engagement won.

Never mind his adaptability skills, he can go from 3.0 BR to tip-top tier without a sweat.
      And you're totally right. Just knowing people are coming makes a colossal difference. You will still be taken by surprise but it's far less often and usually it'll be YOU taking the flanker by surprise.

    Great video. Content and style earned my subscription. I'm a retired LEO and former USMC grunt. Without a doubt, the tactics you lay out absolutely work. I would add a few things for players to consider. First, "get off the X"... in other words, remove yourself from places the enemy knows you will be....like the spawn areas. Second, avoid "fatal funnels" places where the enemy knows you have to pass through. In a building, it would be a doorway. outside, it would be a apace between buildings. If you need to pass through or by a funnel, then you should try to "slice the pie" before entering the area (those who don't know can lookup "slicing the pie" on CZcams to see what it is) . Also, for anti-CAS (my favorite!), as you say, use cover and concealment. Also, try to wait for them to commit on their pass before engaging them. Use their tracers as a guide for where to lead them. If they try to engage you specifically, shoot and then reposition as they move away from you. They might not be looking at you when you move. Movement is easier to spot than a stationary target though.

As a top 2% air RB player trying to get into ground battles, I've noticed that the resources that would usually explain these kinds of things in air RB just don't exist for ground RB (or I at least can't find them), so I really appreciate this kind of guide.

    As someone who is expirienced in WT I learn nothing super new but I can guarantte these tips are trully masterclass. Movement is most important game changer on every tank you play. Good patient and carefull movement can make every mediocre tank to excelent. Newest example is Ratel 90, is neither fast neither have super gun, but flanking suprising and covering orange tank in forest was a essential to not be food for rats or birds. Everytime I was uncovered and CAS destroyed me by cannons or 50cal. Only to blame was me and poor positioning.

    This is exactly why tracks, suspension, transmission, and engine should always be the first modifications to upgrade on any tank. Superior gun handling and round selection do you no good if you can't be in the right place at the right time to put your gun on target, and you can overcome the limitations of a bad gun by having a position of advantage over an opponent (still can't do much to make APCR better tho, sorry).

    A point remaining to be made is the sound difference between wheeled and tracked vehicles, even if it's just to point out that there is one. And maybe something on the correct usage of smoke as means of deception and cover since there is nothing more infuriating than having a teammate who got tracked around a corner turn a stand off into a free double or tripple kill for CAS.

    • @RoneK_Actual
      @RoneK_Actual  Před 4 měsíci +3

      A proper smoke use tutorial might be a good idea. People drop smoke so often when they don't need to that it often obstructs their teammates trying to cover them.

    Have you seen the footage from Ukraine of the two Bradleys engaging the t90m? It seems that Warthunder does get some things right...small caliber cannons can indeed put some hurting on a mbt. I'm guessing that they must have been out of tows or they would have used them. Still some impressive footage!

    • @RoneK_Actual
      @RoneK_Actual  Před 4 měsíci +4

      I have seen some footage...anything is possible in reality honestly because the vehicle is only as effective as its crew! If the gunners are experienced enough they could totally achieve mobility kills on MBTs by taking tracks out. Or even cause damage to the barrel.

      @@RoneK_Actual From the footage, it appears they set off the smoke dischargers on the T-90, damaged the optics, possibly damaged the turret rotation mechanism (or wounded the gunner).
      And from the pictures claimed to be of the tank at a later time, it seems to also have scraped off most of the ERA on it.

    Good stuff. I try to also use the shadows from buildings to hide from CAS, or a light and shadow combination that will break up their sight picture. Really, I'd prefer no-CAS servers - I mean, we have no infantry, and that can make a big difference, especially in MOUT.

    I am pleasantly surprised that someone brought up this topic. I play on the BMD-4 at 11.3 in a setup with the Su-25T, Mig-27K and Ka-50. The BMD-4 shows itself very well, although it is at 9.0. I just do not expose myself to enemy fire, but I do flank detours and reconnaissance. I easily make 4+ kills and assist the team with scouting(except for playing on aircrafts and other armored vehicles.). It's all thanks to moving through the folds of the terrain and moving along unpopular routes on the map if possible (I've been playing since 2019 and I know the maps well).
    So almost any armored vehicle in the game can be turned into a frag-bringing one by following the tips from the video. Good luck!

    I'm glad you're sharing about SLLs. For me, it was something I learned overtime while playing the game (I thought it was common sense to SLL). It's crazy how frequent you can see high leveled players hold W without checking for enemies.
    I also learned that moving on low rpm helps, as you can keep moving forward while also listening for enemy sounds. It's not applicable for every scenario tho, but helpful when needed.

    A lot of good info in the video for newer or mid-skill players. I've been playing since 2015 and pretty much agree with everything you've said here. Movement and how you do it is absolutely critical in this game. The amount of times in matches when I see people just press W and go straight for a point only to die over and over is mind boggling to me. As for the CAS tips... I really think minimizing yourself to it just isn't enough. Planes and helicopters are just too much of a threat currently to properly deal with for most players, even long time ones like me.

    • @RoneK_Actual

    Also, another good tip for CAS, especially in faster vehicles, is when you hear or see an aircraft coming in your general direction, pop smoke and change whatever direction you're moving, this will throw them off heavily, this is an actual real world tactic that works somewhat well in War Thunder, this is also a good way to defeat missiles that are manually guided like TOW missiles
