Pro tip: Sideclimb, even when in a tank
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Shhh don't tell them that. Keep it a "secret"
What is sideclimb exactly?
Side climbing is where you climb a bit to the left or right. It helps you to avoid the earlier engagements and lets you start to get behind the enemy. It’s pretty helpful. He is serious abt tanks as well. With tanks, if you go in between the point, or to the far side, you can get a much better angle on the tanks approaching the point.
@@miloda_bess Ah okay. I already do that most of the time. In tank battles however, when it is pretty late to the match, I don't sideclimb when we are low on time and need to cap asap and when we already have advanced behind the capture points.
Pro tip: uninstall the game
That's some real advice!
Great idea
Tried it but the snail took over my pc ....
i have done that yesterday dont have friend to play along
instructions unclear, I have now started my 3rd Air Tree
Finally someone who has the balls to tell me im SH*T to my face and actually do something about it.
I ain't all talk 🦜
@@TheSystematicPsycho guess i have to download the game and see if these tips help me🤣
@@SliickTV_ no 🎩
@@SliickTV_mate your shit but here's a tip for you. Shower daily... 😜

6:30 Bro recreated a very specific event with that turn...
Need more airport security...
@@TheSystematicPsycho umm hol' up
Something I learned with the F-104 is using vulture tactics, keeping your speed as high as possible, and making diagonal passes on the map. Also, at higher tier, while they are nice to have, don't rely too much on missiles. Remember, a missile can be chaffed or flared away, but a bullet can't be.
F104 is bullet
Do one run per plane and keep going and change target if you miss. Eventually you’ll hit something and nobody can hit you back. Reliable 3 kills per game.
3:38 "two sets of wings can't be out turned"
The b-239 has entered the chat 🗿
Ok
I believe that in this game, a decision you made 5 minutes before hand determines whether you live or die. A proper setup to a fight, as well as target prioritization is more important than your actual mechanical skills!
Very well said. Love your Cinematics keep up the good work!
Sound awareness is something I use frequently in Ground and Air RB.
When I dive on someone and would get close to Rip speed or rudder lock speed anyway, I turn the engine off, so they have no warning.
But I only do this with planes that turn back on fast.
I love doing this
3:27 thanks for bringing back WW2 Flashbacks for me with that zoom in on a spit using an FW... I felt this SPRITURALLY!
Love that intro dude
Probably another tip I’d throw in there is early AIM-9/R-3’s is to lead the missile. You can even use them on prop bombs like B29/TU4 but you have to be within 1KM I believe.
I would also mention how the side of radar, when trying to use a radar missile, can help you with intercept and knowing your radar missile capabilities.
Maybe even throw in another tip of using the 3-4th line on the rocket sight on the hud, sometimes lower depending on the rocket (Tiny Tim’s).
Your lead tip is extremely crucial ESPECIALLY for migs and the r3r, at some moments you can (kind of) make the r3r pull 20gs (only for around 50 millisecs or so) if you have proper lead and guidance towards the target getting some insane kills with it
Really pumpin' out these videos these days!
Now I can be a war thunder god!!
I knew you needed this!
Very good resource to give to friends, I didn’t learn anything new but this is probably the best video I’ve seen for teaching new players.
forgot to say, one VERY helpful tip, never be cocky, always stay calm, the calmer you are, the less cocky you are, the better you can keep a level head in a fight
Thanks for the tips really needed them :3
Another tip I would recommend is just get good
I can't believe I forgot this one...
this was one of the best videos i ever saw from a small content creator.Thank you for the tips!
Thank you for your comment!
nice video😁 keep up the good work
Certified good tips over here, just hoping more beginners will see this one ! 👍
Sometimes it is better to go full vertical when an enemy has less energy than you. If you keep a slow semi roll going they tend to find it hard to shoot before they run out of energy. You will as well however so pull your rudder hard and put out landing flaps as you turn over to get your guns on them faster.
It’s funny cuz I started playing war thunder about a week ago I’m at 3.7 I’ve picked up on a lot of this stuff as I’m playing or noticed some stuff like, “man this bomber is lighting me up i need to get under it” or “I already know this guy is coming straight at me I need to roll before he gets too close”. I love this game it’s so addictive. The progression through tiers is rough but the progression through modifications makes it enjoyable I love that you can upgrade your plane and crew skills. I used to play a lot of air games growing up like air conflicts, blazing angles, heroes over Europe and the pacific… and this game blows it away. I wish I had a VR for my Xbox
Also the dive bombers have air brakes, makes them a bit more useful for attacking ground targets and trying to get a fighter to overshoot you.
Tip that only goes for toptier: pre flare because if you are deploying flares before an enemy has fired a missile it will be much harder for them to get a good lock in the first place
Nice Video! Good Tips :)
Here is a pro tips that I managed to collect
In top tier jets always take the Flank especially if the jet that you are flying doesn't have the Best Flight Perfomance
2.for US 50 cal MG's always fire at a close range around 0.7 or 0.8
3.back to jets with missiles always be patient when firing it if the target maneuver or is flaring go for a gunshot
4. Don't Hold the Trigger always fire in burst
5.if your aircraft is damaged Don't hesitate to return for repairs
6. If you Can't boom and zoom an agile enemy aircraft then opt for a hit and run tactics which you climb and dive on an enemy and build separation and climb back up
7.when your enemy send a missile to your way always look if he is locking you using your RWR or not
If you get a warning stay close to the ground and flare and chaff if not turn your after burner off while flaring and changing direction this works well with IRCCM missiles in top tier
Helpful tip Rolling scissors is pretty useful at if not getting someone off your tail preventing them taking an accurate shot. Another one is that your convergence should be set between 600-800 depending on the plane as any less than that will lead to longer range shots being incapable of hitting, 600M means at 1.2KM they are back where your guns are, 800M means 1.6KM range before they come back. If you have a nose mounted gun that is off center it will pull your plane in that direction, be mindful of this you don't want to pull your nose off target because you fired too much.
I can't tell you how much just looking around and focusing can help you a thang that's helped me with the switch from arcade to realistic we turning down my engine volume and then not listening to music I know music helps with the monotony of the climb but don't as it takes your situational awareness down
Having a good internet connection helps a lot too. Ping and Lag killed me back when I still played the game. I think it was in the patch 1.3 to 1.4 days, around the time when tanks were first introduced, but when the game was still mostly a WW2 era "flight simulator".
I learned a lot about air combat. Watched long and detailed tutorial video series by CZcamsrs like "RamJB" and others, learned all about Energy Fighting, Boom & Zoom, air combat maneuvers (like Displacement Rolls, High and Low YoYos, Hammerheads aso.) and I dare say I got pretty good at executing those.
My defensive flying was pretty good. I never really lost any 1 on 1 fight even against people who had the energy advantage.
The problem was that I just couldn't kill anything. I couldn't hit stuff. People flew through my tracers without taking damage and I even had rubber banding issues sometimes while at the same time I died from shots that really didn't look like they should have hit me.
There have been battles where I flew together with friends and I was playing bait, keeping whole fur balls of enemies busy, dodging 6 or more guys without getting hit, while my buddies picked them off like bats catching bugs buzzing around a street light at night, with me being the street light.
It sucked having shitty stats and looking like a total failure while at the same time routinely outmaneuvering people with 100 times my kill count.
super underrated
It's a good idea to read up on some maneuvers that will help you in a dogfight. Knowing different tricks could help turn the tide and ensure an easy kill
There is one thing I hate mainly: TEAMMATES
Picture this. You see a lone enemy, and decide to dive onto them and try take them out. Suddenly, you are swarmed by another two enemies that came out of nowhere. You ask for cover and support, but no teammate arrives. So you just die. But the SECOND you die, teammates appear!! Like what is this??!
I have had so many matches like this, and it just puts me off. I die all the time, and then a teammate appears the second I die. Like what can I do?
Man i hate teamates becous they keep ramining into me while im in a staraight path
@@dinolou5421 Fr tho
having a keybind for almost everything in the game can give you a massive advantage in toptier air
10 - Keep in mind flaps actually reduce your turn speed in the long run on most planes (not on all at least in war thunder, so like you said try). But as a general rule, do not use flaps if you do not want to lose speed. Flaps will make you turn harder but eventually slow you down so much that you end up rating slower.
Essentially, flaps tend to be good in the 1 circle fights. In 2 circle fights (ratefights) you want to use them less since it doesn't matter how hard you turn, only how quickly you go around the circle
Sound awareness is specially useful in sim, since you're forced into first person with a very limited field of view (noticeably in low 6) you won't be able to see much, added to the fact that the game doesn't show you any markers, its not surprising many new players die from a surprise attack. One way i mitigate this is by opening the cockpit, that way i can hear planes just like if i were in third person
Gotta love how you even added the Bf109 to the "good turnfighter" group. I mean true that it's not as terrible as one would initially think, buuut...
check for missles, remember extreme overload will rip your wings so in things like the a4h be carefull of turning too fast
Pretty solid video, covers most of the important points
Just a little bit more specification on things like flaps as some people might start using flaps whenever possible which in 99% of aircraft is a horrible idea and worse than never using them
The head on is the oldest paluka move in these kinda games.. lol it’s usually the first thing people learn not to do.
Sick edits and the committing too soon is an issue lol
pro tip : complete the whole avira scan even if it asks to clean up
Usually I’ll only go for strike aircraft while stock grinding, that should be the only time you kill anybody down at low altitude.
The amount of post world war 2 jets that DONT think they need alt is hilarious 😂
Sometimes you need to fly low because your 9.7 Jet doesn't have flares against all other 9.7 missiles. I spaded my mig 23 BN this way and I always got missiled when I was flying high but never when flying low like hugging trees low
@@CoolLink-Zelda I'm going to guess you don't understand this so just in case, Interwar refers to between WW1 and WW2, Post War is Between WW2 and the Cold War, and cold war is well, exactly that lol
@@treanttrooper6349 thank you mate
Sometimes ill make it look like im going to break right. Pop flaps into combat and push down hard into the left. Second after. Flaps are up and im rolling out to hopefully get a better angle. Sometimes it works. Sometimes i bite off more than i can chew with turn fighters. Depends on the chase.
Solid Vid, Will send it to friends as an insult 🗿
Tell em I said they need this.
thx you helped me a lot
1:40 im a kinda new main in bomber and i have started bringing as much weight as i can in bombs I rarely get killed anyways since i only die when getting ramed or getting sniped in the pilot but will try to adapt to better play ways
Something that was missed and I think is vital is to always maintain situational awareness. This can involve checking your six every now and then, taking time to assess the enemy's numbers and positioning before committing to a fight, and trying to work with your teammates in multiple vs multiple fights. This is still very useful at prop and gun-jet tier, but it is A NECESSITY when fighting at top tier, where the main threat is from missiles.
I’ve noticed that at higher tier jets (10.7) people just don’t seem to look around as often and probably rely on their RWR. I’ve killed so many people because I have my radar off, get behind them and their RWR won’t pick me up. I can then get directly behind them, launch a missile and run the other way to do it again
The spitfires at 6km while still being turn fighting gods
One pro tip I learned from watching world war II dog fights for prop make sure you kind of moving like a serpentine pattern crossing scissors or whatever waste your momentum making your opponent overshoot you so you're behind them then it's just an easy kill from there
Thanks it helped;)
As a vet. Even from back then I have never got into a lot of headons. I usually do them when I'm already damaged or wont make it back to base, just so I could get a kill before I eventually die
pro tip: ask war thunder to add spinning intake fan on fighter jets
i didnt really learn much in the time i played but a use ful tip is take a break once in awhile dont do what i do and play for a long while and get really annoyed half way through and just do worse the more you play
Another tip: If you see a launching warning from a MiG 29 and it immediately stops after launch, assume they have launched at you, and they are guiding the missile towards you using TWS since the missile has data link. Start defending as soon as possible.
Also, if you are using R-27ER, you can completely stop the effects of multipathing by removing lock 1-2 seconds before the missile hits.
Multipathing? I know r27ERs from DCS, if you break lock you just trash the missile?
@@Schimml0rd this ain't DCS, Gaijin has decided to make the R-27er overpowered
Another tip: Match your opponet, dont go too fast or too slow in relation, you can either lose your target or become the target
Nope, this is actually really, REALLY BAD advice!
Instead if you're 'too fast' and overshoot the opponent, just go vertical, gain altitude, and then come around for another attack diving on the opponent again at your convenience.
If you slow down and match the opponents speed, then they may just outturn you or they will drag you into an ever slower and slower and ever lower and lower turn fight, keeping you busy 'wasting your time' and even worse, making you an extremely easy target and victim to their teammates.
If you are much faster than the opponent, then they will barely ever get a chance to fire at you before you're out of their gun's effective range.
Also if you have a great speed advantage it's better to try not to attack directly from straight behind, but much rather from an angle above or below, it will be much easier to hit the opponent at those angles than from directly behind.
The greater the speed (and/or altitude) advantage over your opponent the better!!!
I bought the Su-11 in hopes it'd make the grind easier, what I got instead is 86 kills over 150 matches.
Situational awareness is how those brawlers dive into the cloud of low flying aircraft in the center of the map and manage to come out of the game with more kills than anyone else. Just being aware of the planes locations, whos got tunnel vision chasing another plane, where you are when the next wave of planes is incoming and slipping into the back so they target someone else, etc. Sure it's suicidal at the end of the day, not wise for newbies, but not everyone is pulling a plane they want to have to climb for 5 minutes every time they want to get 1 kill either. XP And sometimes a head on is the best option. If some flimsey wooden japanese plane is charging me with it's lil 2 20mm and 2 7.62's or even worse armament, and I know I've lost all my energy and there no out running or out turning him why not lay into him with my say, 4 20mm or 20's and 30's? I'm pretty good at playing air chicken, you just have to judge/balance your situation and practice.
watched this video, decided to not commit early and just dive and hope to damage it a little since i have a horrible plane for both prop power and turnrate but good cannons, 1st place in team with 5 kills! Thank you!
btw do you have any tips on how to counter wyverns when in a bomber? i mean they spawn at the same altitude and can climb twice as fast with good frontal cannons
Turn away and engage them with your rear guns is your best bet. Still a tricky situation no matter what. Shoot from far too.
f-84g's if you can take rockets and bombs youll rmove the fuel pods on end of the wings further reducing weight if you dump the payload ofc
"- and if you're a veteran player, what do you have left to lose?"
As someone who joined in 2015... *oof...*
I have a tip but it doesn't always work out but fly low and fast and if a enemy is behind you you could get a kill with no ammo left
Underrated asf
you can check your breaking flap breaking speed in the warthunder wiki
Addendum for flaps, don't use them too much. Flaps make you burn energy faster, which can be useful, but in prolonged fights is generally not what you want.
climbing in top tier is the equivalent of screaming: PLEASE LAUNCH 20 MISSILES AT ME!!!
Thx for helping the bad players now ill have real competition.
I think another good tip is that sometimes its best to slow down. Not too slow but slow enough to just not over shoot. Lets say im in a dog fight and im on someone's six, most players have their throttle at wep/100% and go for their pray. At some cases yeah sure You will kill but once you get to mid tier or higher 5.0+ id say people are decent players then and they will just evade. Just cut ur throttle if ur gaining speed too fast and take ur time. Remember its better to be on someones definite six than to overshoot and go around as that gives them more time to come back around.
Last time I played War Thunder was probably last December. Tis game makes me cry man. In tanks I feel like an American GI in veitnam and planes make me feel like I'm using a peashooter with all guns and every plane I use instantly becomes as versitial and manuverable as a beached whale.
I'm start playing again, see how that works out for me.
#13 8:35 Spamming countermeasures is not the way, it will just make you hotter more and the missile will follow you more, fire 2 countermeasures, and dodge. You can't just fly straight and expect to be saved. That's not how it works. Remember, spamming flares will just make you more hotter.
ah thanks for the encouaging title
The 9th tip was a reveletion for me
If you have 1.0 in K/D or higher, you are a very good player.
Statistics with normal distribution curves and all that, show that it is a small group of players that account for the majority of kills. That means if you have K/D 1.0 you belong to the top 30% of players.
K/D 2.0 and above are only a very small group that have.
You can be lucky on individual occasions, but I mean over time.
Well I started today after wanted to play the game for almost 6 years
one of the biggest reasons i dont listen to the no headon rule is... *gau 4 gunpod stealth belt go BWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*
Hello and thanks for the tips,
can I ask your opinion guys on starting about 20-ish seconds late in match on purpouse? Is it viewed as bad? Because i have found it to be working for me pretty well...
1) it doesn´t force me to dive on 1st target I see, since it has already like 5 people on them or they are already dead
2) I still can climb effectively to altitude and most of the guys that have better climb rate are already diving
3) after both furballs merge, i can zoom and boom on targets that are already turning and loosing energy.
Sorry for grammar and thanks for your opinions, or if anyone else does this too.
Instead of delaying you should side climb at a harder angle that way your showing up to battle at the best time but also gaining more altitude.
rudder, rudder, rudder. Learn to use your rudder. Ignored by many players, is pivotal in compound sharp turns for many non-turn fighters and is the best for being a hard target. In head ones, fish tail on your way in starting from 1500m out and stop at 800 when the enemy has started his break off to focus on shooting him down. Works good but it's amazing in AB.
3:37 that’s why you bring it to BR 5.0 and win every dogfight
I always take head ons, especially in my F86A-5 like between 1.0-1.2mi i fire a 2 second burst, which usually results in me being 0.8mi away from the enemy. Then i pull out 9 times out of 10 the enemy is stupid as shit and continues to try head on but they just eat my shots like it free as shit.(F-86A-5 is a beast btw 100% recommend)
I'd add ; throttle management
Noticeable on props it becomes paramount on jets !
Heres an odd tip for head ons shoot at least a mile out but heres the key do not roll over and dodge thats way to slow and what almost every player does instead just nose straight down negative g and after the first rounds pass you dodge to the opposite side the opponent dodged and seeing as almost all players either roll or dodge to one side or the other you are able to re commit before them almost 100% of the time and shoot them down i almost never lose headons since i started doing this
There are several planes that have an airbrake. High tier planes arent the only planes that get air brakes. The A-36 at 2.7 has airbrakes. Same for the Corsairs and many other planes. Not all of em do but most do. Air brakes arent just for high tier or jets.
that air field bait I've become the person that does the baiting or in a complete win or lose situation i take the bait knowing that ill probably die but oh well i dont go i lose anyways
They need to make search and rescue mission
Do tank next this was really useful
Instructions unclear: I climbed so high I have become god
Whats the best tip for aiming in air rb? I cant seem to hit shots consistently
Another tip is not to take everything too seriously, game is a lot more fun when you free yourself of the grind
1) keep that head moving, dont lock in to just looking forward while flying, you have 3 dimensions you need to keep an eye on. learning to VIP hunt no point chasing a biplane in mid-tier go after that attacker or bomber if an opportunity arrises(including killing that guy on your teamates 6 and not there 12 (noone like a kill steal)). 2) trick bombers by acting afk or just flying straight without making crazy maneuvers(works more then you think. and they arent that great at headons)
i typically take 80-90% fuel with afterburner jets
Great tips and advices 👍
But I must troll a little bit 😁
Man P-47 with bombs and rocket's is so much better 😂

You wouldn't believe how many typos almost made it into this video...
Yak fighters are gods at turn fighting along with any kind of spitfire, they are mostly made of wood (other then the Yak-3's) tracers will shred them, do not engage in a turn fight with Yaks as it will be over before you can finish your turn, I've had too many cocky fighters try and turn fight my Yak-3P and loose before they can finish their turn, a general rule for fighter is "Yaks, Spitfires , Zeros and some 109s do t turn fight them."
question, how the fuck does one avoid a turn fight
also bind your keys to control your air craft
something every german player needs to watch
This might be exactly what I need because I absolutely suck. Just had a battle where I'm 2.3 BR and almost everyone else is 1.7. I got 7th...
Not mentioning the Yak-1/3 at turn-fighters section is a crime...
To the Part of knowledge I know moast of the planes Im facing but they always come at me in groups of 3 to 4
