always mark where you last saw an enemy on the map. ever since chats removal you can easily tell which players use the map and which dont. the map is very very useful.
Yes I always use the map. Go for free points to capture them where not a lot teamates go to and then go fight to capture another point, that teamate captured. Also through map you can see where the enemies are and so you can see that from behind there is comming enemy tank, while you concentrating on another tank and so he thought he could make cheeky kill on you, while you one shot him, because you knew he was comming, when you watching the map all the time to see who are around you.
You just go in cover from the tank you had battel with and then its easy one shot on light tank, when you knew he was comming.
@@jout738 I heard something about "pinging" an enemy, to determine how close they are. They use the screen where the teams are listed or something.
I can still use chat
@@jonathanjimenez6739 no, it's just recently returned
My biggest rule that helped me is the "Don't play again" rule. I see new players die to a tank they don't know how to kill and say to themselves "how is that tank fair against mine?". and just press "Play" again. Before playing the next match, find the tank that killed you, test the armor, and compare it's stats. You can find weakspots and learn strengths/weakness of vehicles this way without the need for a youtube video every time. If you press play again you will be killed frustratingly in the same way in the future until you learn both your tank and the enemy tank. It only takes a minute or two minutes and you will have learned a bunch that would normally taken hours of gameplay without looking at the menus this way.
agreed. but i would also say to test your own tanks armour and see where its strengths and weaknesses are and play the game like you have no armour (unless you are a heavy), so if you are engaging someone, you would want to emphasise your tanks strong points more. i find bouncing shells and not getting 1 shot happen more often this way and one thing i find dumb is if someone is looking around the corner, dont try peak a shot, go around or just mark the enemy and leave cause you are at a disadvantage, although i dont mind it when the enemy players do it, free kills for me xd. (top tier is who ever shoots first so test driving+customs would be better to help with reaction timing)
Very true. An elaborate way of saying "get gud".
I'm a noob grinding USSR rn and yes great advice ! First I didn't do this, now I do quite a bit
Tank rule is simple the front are hard but some tank still can peneterate the front. the side is the weak spot of every tank and the behind is weak spot too but you cannot one shot kill instead that you will just make the engine broken
This ^ !
Red Baron analogy is insanely true, lower tiers, there are usually around 5-6 people spraying a PBY while an enemy I-15 picks each and every one off one by one because they are too busy chasing a bomber
I'm that bomber, 😁
i be at 4.0 in my 109 and still have 4-5 teammates chasing that one low strike aircraft meanwhile im trying to survive against 4 fighters a kilometre away. it hurts my brain. or ill get to the low bomber strike aircraft early and ill basically have them dead but still half the squad comes running to try steal the kill. hate air battles. being a plane in ground battles is easy farming though.
@@MrWeenuk21 Dying to a plane in ground battles makes me want to die
Kasoy oh i suck at striking ground targets at any br with any aircraft. i can kill like every plane that comes at me though
What's even worse is even in higher br it still applied there
You would think that at higher br they would learn but noo they still freaking chasing bomber like Ju288c
The unfortunate thing about number 5 (helping allies) is that if you are participating in the constant grind event that is the battle pass and warbond shop (tied in as well), tasks usually promote self-centered play almost all the time (except for specific tasks).
Basically war thunder is in constant event mode which unfortunately does not promote team play very much.
So true.
90% of events I ignore by now because of that.
True, they need to add some repair vehicles / support vehicles
With the "being able to help repair/extinguish any teammate" mechanic, i see more teamplay, especially at higher tiers (from experienced players, not from low-levels who bought top tier premiums). From my experience, those low levels are so annoying to have in a team. Ignoring their lack of skill and knowledge of the maps and vehicles, they often ram into you and they think that if they keep driving straight, the problem will somehow get fixed. Or, in some cases, they ram you out of cover and expose you right in front of the enemy.
That's why I play with friends and rarely solo-queue
@@alexmaximus9134 just stupids like me help teammates. espcially polish, chiense and russian are the most bitching players in the game
This video needs to be featured on WT's account. Especially number 5! Self-centered players just ruin an awful lot of sessions with this mistake in particular
Yeah lol
I’d say that people have gotten a lot better with helping people repair and extinguish fires. I remember in the old days nobody would ever stop
@@kermie3078 I guess it's easier these days? I'm pretty sure only light tanks were allowed but now I'm repairing teammates with heavies
this game is such a joke. should be renamed "money grab thunder" waste of life, waste of time.
@@jondoe1557 no that's world of tanks trust me especially blitz the vk3601h cannot pierce the annihilator hull down despite having a shell with the velocity capable of doing so at least the vehicles in war thunder are killable from the front even if you pay for them it just matters where you hit the tank and what shell you're using to hit the tank in general good luck
I disagree with point 1, you should play the BR's you enjoy and ignore the grind, it will help your sanity. Also slower research helps slow down the vehicle purchasing, so you will grow your SL balance.
the whole point of SL is to buy vehicles and upgrades, it's better to have something available to buy then to have to wait to have it unlocked as SL is useless without anything to spend it on other than repairs
Agreed: If you plan on playing the game to grind to top tier, you won't have any fun and you will burn out. Just have fun at the BR you are at and ignore the grind. Sure, it may take longer, but you will have fun.
Indeed, also interwar tanks are the best. Any 8 year old kid could play an abrams in battlefield 3, who decided top tier is bettee than reserve?
@novkorova2774 straight up we were playing reserve Sweden as a 4 man squad and it was super fun as a break from the grind.
One of the most helpful tips Ive been given as a newbie is to just pick someone at the start of the game and follow them around as their wingman just making sure you have another player close by as often as possible really makes a huge difference in both deterring attacks on you and putting you in better positions to get kills on the enemy.
Same thing I did way back in BF2. I suck, so I just look to assist a reasonably skilled player who knows what they're doing. Watch their back, heal, spot, capture, distract. It's more fun, and boosts both our survivability.
I see who is the silliest Billy and go with them or whoever has the same plane yknow we gotta match somehow
Good advice, thanks! I'd add that you'll occasionally get a coupon for a premium plane either as a daily login reward or a battle trophy. Some of them aren't worth using but I've had coupons with 50-75% off, most recently 50% off the Mustang Mk.1A which has a great SL multiplier and sits in rank 3 meaning I can play it to research all British props.
They also discount the price of modifications so you can save on SL
@@Tales41 you get all the modifications for free lol, it’s a prom
Don't stop in the middle of a road unless you are engaging an enemy...spread out unless you want to be carpet bombed like a Russian convoy. Don't stop right behind another tank, you are preventing them from backing into cover. Don't try to hill snipe using Russian tanks, you don't have the depression and you likely have another nation on your team that has good depression (Like the UK or Germany). Don't spam 'attack the D point' or other worthless commands at the beginning of the match; people will mute your radio and when you really need backup, no one will hear you. Don't call for backup if you are sitting in the enemy spawn detection zone...you are a scumbag and should die alone. When you spawn, look around real quick if you plan to dart off in some odd direction...no one likes getting crashed into by some lunatic who wants to camp a hill behind spawn (better yet, just wait for the initial spawners to push out so you can do that). Apologize if you bump somebody and send them spinning out (but for christ's sake, spread out so you are not bumping into them to start with). If you are playing a slow heavy tank, let the speedy bois go first. Don't get butt hurt when you can't get to points to capture them if you are playing a slow tank. No one will wait for your slow arse!
and another one dat i do, apologize if u kill a enemy plane dat ur allies were working on but turned out to maneuver or something, cuz they tend to get salty and teamkill sometimes
I've been trying to figure out how to send commands in game like : thank you, sorry, attack the A point, etc but the settings is confusing. I see the numbers the commands are but what key do I press first to "activate" the radio? Thanks.
@@kalalit press the t key. next you got the two stage radio menu, but that explains itself. to cancel a message, press t again and the menu dissappears.
@@nuke_jr OMG thank you so much!!!
@@kalalit no problem :)
Bit of an addendum here to the tip regarding high-top tier premiums: If you decide to purchase a ground prem, *Take a note of the round types you have and their penetration values.* Just because HEATFS has a higher pen than APFSDS doesn't mean you should use it. And on that note, just because you have sabot doesn't mean you simply point and click on every enemy you face: *Aiming for weak spots is still important*
I'm still trying to figure out when to use which ammo type.. HE never has good pen so when is it good to use? I always just pick the rounds that have the most penetration.
@@MrJPort10 HE is good against open top vehicles such as the M18 tank destroyer or the AA trucks, however if big enough it will kill tanks, from overpressure and not by penetration.
I never knew using a higher tier vehicle to backfill previous tier stuff had such a crazy malus to research rate!
another tip- when playing air rb in a vehicle below than BR 2.3, avoid the mid map AA at all costs, they are extremely buffed and will kill you in 2 shots if you get within 3 kilometres of them
I hate AAA
Even ennemy AA in arcade is lethal and lands, occasionally, some incredibly precise shots
@@Spido68_the_spectator ive seen the same AA battery wipe out 4 people in a row in arcade once
entire 10 minute video composed of making you throw money into free to play game
Thank you for saving me 10 mins
Sorry man, but I say that the "B1 ter" is no longer worthy starter, do to the tank past the maximum BR where its gun(s) still be effective, even when its uptiered by only 0.3 BR. And it can face with tanks like the KV-1s now. Just another one of those premiums that lost its value do to statistics based BR base.
It was in a weird spot, it was already trash in uptiers but in downtiers it slaughtered, now they ended up sorta just ruining it.
It's still alright, the armor still makes up for it
but I will say that it's value has definitely been significantly diminished, same with the normal B1.
Bonus tip: play for caps, not only for kills! :)
hell no, I don't want to die first
@@CALIMA2000 when you lose then you get no where near the amount of sl and rp you get when you win
That was the light tank job
I just cap and camp the 2 Cs of war thunder
@@lotuscabage4755 you can do it in a heavy only in high tier tho
I've been playing the game since 2014 and here I am watching a bigginners guide
To the new players this just shows how difficult the game can be
I learned getting a high tier premium without a lineup the hard way with the TURMS but I got along and now I have most of the Russian tech tree researched, and the funniest thing is I have a positive K/D in the turms as well
Yeah but what's your win loss leaving after 1 death you and all the other turms noobs
Same here, got the Object 120 way before I was anywhere close in the TT. Ended up just using it when messing around in custom battles until I had a lineup for it.. I also got the MiG-17 at the same time, and at the time I didn't play air RB so it was the same story there. It's more reasonable buying your way up the ranks in planes than tanks imo, since you can use a single plane for air rb but I definitely understand the arguments against buying any kind of premium jet before getting there in the TT. You're basically paying to die over and over and over for a good while most likely..
@@musakotze2881 47%, i got a 1.5 k/d in it cuz i had the bmp 2m beforehand
@@aluminium1035 Argh, 47% isn't good. It means you are actively lowering your team's chance to win. 49-50% would mean you don't have an impact, which is okay. All above is nice in my experience.
I play arcade most of the time and I never use a vehicle until I have a lineup of three at least. My WR is 55% (I suck in RB, there it is only 47% 😄).
It’s easy to get a positive KD in the turms, the hard part is getting a win rate over 50%
My 6 year experience says this: Never get out of your way to help others if it’s not safe or if it ruins your plans. Never trust your team, the only use for them is to let you know were the enemies are and aren’t. Also they can be used as bait to know if it’s safe to cross a road or something.
I agree with the other tips
You know, you using all of your teammates as bait just makes your teammates think you're bad
@@dedmajor How can they know that I'm using them? I could just be holding an angle and waiting for enemies to pass, as they drive past me.
@@eliasl332 yeah and what about when the dude that passes you gets his engine broke and his gun broken? You probably still sit there and just complain about bad teammates rather than actually use the opportunity their bait made
@@dedmajor but every teamnate I face is just exploded lol
@@dedmajor If the enemy is close I will rush him after his second shot, if he is far away it would be suicidal to attack. Why you are assuming that I'm going to complain about teammates?
I grinded from 2.7 to 9.7 in the US air tech tree with the f-5c, its a very good idea since you only get 1 spawn in air RB
3:23
I went from rank III to rank VI buy buying the A-10 and the XM-1 (GM)
I was crap at first, but after a couple matches I got the jist of it and now I'm pretty good
It depends on the adaptability of each person, but I still would recommend against spending any sort of money on war thunder, I had just been given a gift card with a $120.00 on it and was like "why the fuck not"
I only use money to by SL and now I’m at 8.0 with the m103 and I’m about to be in Abrams tier spaa with radar also can get you a lot of SL
@@panzerkampfwagenviiimaus3976 worst thing to do my man... the rates for SL:Money are a complete rip off.
@@TehShinegami The entire game is a ripoff, SL:Money is just /more/ of a rip off. lol Don't try to pretend any money spent on War Thunder isn't buying into a scam in of itself.
War Thunder uses every. single. possible. Video game-applicable method to prey on human psychology for monetary gain that's been figured out so far. You are so full of shit to imply anything in this game is actually worth spending money on. If the man wants to be stupid and give War Thunder money, who cares what completely fictional resource he exchanges his real world currency for? :P
Buy 1 premium bomber the ju 288 i get 20-50k a match with booster 50- 200k atleast
Wow! I really thought it was gonna be super basic stuff 99% of the players already know, but I actually found great information I'd want to hear! Amazing video, loved it!
i have to disagree with the fact at 9:10 .I have great stats but my winrate is at 56 % ,because as usual my team is camping at the base (because repair cost problably)or goes for one flag and then to the enemy spawn instead of the other capture areas. Those people who cry of the repair cost are to 99% those sniper players
Which is why a lot of people have been advocating Gaijin revamp the repair costs of vehicles and make it a set cost based on tier. Some of the ground vehicle's repair costs have gotten stupid and it's easy to go far in the negatives on a losing team even when you did okay.
@@Talishar Or just remove repair cost, it just an awful mechanic made to sell micro transactions
ill Lose all 4 tanks and 1 plane, By Simply Trying to cap A point, Mostly to a Bloody Sherman, Or Tiger/panther Peeking over a Fucking hill and Sniping.
sniper players are fine, if they are actually killing things. I am decently accurate at long range, I once killed a tank at 2.21 km with a m6a1 (took 2 shots, the first shot only mobility killed them) I can even hit moving targets at long range
the only time I ever do sniping is when I am in a good position (preferable hidden)
My dude, you're a legend! The way you give advice is so easy to take in and simplified compared to so many other videos I've seen.
I started playing War Thunder probably a year ago or so. Sadly my Xbox broke and I was still only in tier 2 for tanks & aviation (played with the different countries for a while). Probably only got a month or so in here and there. I recently put my Xbox in for repairs, and downloaded WT on my PS4 to get some practice. Literally every single tip I've seen from this channel has upped my win rate considerably.
Pretty keen to get my Xbox tomorrow so I can play with my normal group, definitely won't be a liability anymore. 😁
Hi Tankstein. Glad I came across your channel as me and a few good friends are struggling a bit at Warthunder. The info here really helps out and I'll be sure to see you on the battlefield some time. 🤙
The only Pemium Vehicles that I would say are truly worth their cost are the KV-220 and the KV-1C.
Ah, Allies. Most of the time they infuriate me, but from time to time, there is an Ally that I would die for.

@@Ten_NE_Ten yes, but weaker version without 200mm armor
As WT player, this is very good tips, also consider making guides for each level of player skill, maybe for intermediate or pro players and such.
Just started playing this game a week ago, I was slowly beginning to break rule one- so thankful for your sharing your experience with us noobs!
Thank you so much man. I am quite far in the game but I am always open for new tips, ideas and ways of thinking and I believe this will help a lot.
Great info on tiered premium vehicles, i didnt know of the xp penalty.
News to me
5th, i totaly agree, i feel like my win ratio would be way better if only my team would work together, not just 3of us trying to do so, like so many times i see people just ignoring repairing, or killing a guy with no breech while there is a guy shooting me.
Number 5 is a great. I have died countless times bouncing shells off an enemy tank trying to get the kill.
So, I started warthunder about half a year- a year ago. and your vids still help a lot. thanks! and keep making em ;)
I've been only playing for about a week and helping my allies is one of the things that seems to help me win matches and get sl
Man it is so hard to help team mates and capture points I mean you go from helping a guy to capturing a point back to helping a guy BACK to capturing the zone you just captured and all cause no one is pushing up they just wait for a sniper shot which I understand when you are in a arty tank but in a reg light/medium/heavy tank it makes no sense and just ends with everyone letting zones get taken cause no one wants to move to defend ...its a terrible grind.
Helping allies is important tbh...
I was playing a new vehicle at tier 3 then i caught fire without FPE but 4 tiger tank passed beside me without doing anything
Happens all the time I mean its super annoying to see them roll right by when you are on fire.
tiger isn’t light tank?
Just discovered your channel today, and I love it my dude. Great videos keep up the awesome work!!
that double 109 cracks me up, a county who was losing a war and was totally running out of everything so the decided to stick two of their valuable aircrafts together in order to make one that doesn't work quite as well as either would work by itself
Tip 6 should be: No matter the suffering, make sure you keep your wallets safe.
I love how almost all tips round back up to the grind
_if only gaiijin didnt become a bunch of money hungry freaks and kept the game playable for f2p players_
That's kinda true, but man my gf bought me premium 5 days ago & I've been leveling like a mf! $20 for 180days worth. I recommend buying premium on sale & Id stay away from the premium vehicles... can't be convinced to spend that type of money on a single vehicle. The premium boost though, now that has some real value to it!
It's still playable for f2p, but in exchange for your sanity.
Love the tips, one thing I started doing, after my last death, rather than bailing out of the game, I follow my surviving teammates, watch what they do, sometimes try to warn them about enemys, but thats only if they read my comment. Great videos!!!!
Excellent video. I've been playing for about 18 months, I'm halfway up the American, German and Swedish trees, and Tier 2 on a lot of the other trees and I still learned a couple new things from this. I am playing casually, arcade only and for fun though. I guess I am a fairly okay player though. Usually finish a match with 5-7 kills and only 1-2 deaths unless I get uptiered.
I like to help repair and extinguish fires on allies as often as I can, or tow them out of danger if they're immobilized or get overturned. Completely agreed on the point that helping teammates makes for a better match and better chance to win. It's the same logic behind why I love playing medic on games like Killing Floor 2. I can keep the team alive, and still get kills.
Playing WT since 2014, just wanted to hear what tips you had for the newer players. Pretty solid, loved #5! So many people need to hear this and understand. o7
Also, Spawn Camping is really really bad and for crap players to get scumbag kills. Let’s try to change the scum play and not spawn camp. I’m sure this puts off players, old and new, from playing. And don’t use “map design” as an excuse, it’s just plain doing the wrong thing. Thanks for your video and advice Tank, please promote honourable play in our community.
I really find fun in driving through enemy spawns with my turret turned backwards in an attempt to hangout. But I agree that spawn camping is a terrible and not fun way to play. Discourages new players, and angers old players.
If a tank is in your spawn your team already lost
@@burritoman5567 I’m talking about enemy going straight to your spawn area, camping and then waiting for players to spawn in then killing them. Or sniping your spawn! Not at the end of a match buddy, at the start of a match.
I love the first hint is basically “spent irl money on this f2p game, otherwise you get a 70% tax on your research points when researching outside your tier”. Like, it’s a fair hint, i hate that gajin does the tax when researching lower tier vehicles, but like, the entire point of that tax is to challenge the player to get better, and to make sure they’re good enough for the tier they’re going into.
P.S. with good enough for the tier i mean… barely scrapping by, like maybe 1 assist/tank destruction at most.
THANK YOU for mentioning the starter packs. The British tier 2 starter pack is AMAZING value at half price, so that's my last Christmas present this year! You are probably the only CZcamsr I subscribed to this year.
For beginners I'd recommend getting a premium vehicle or two at around tier 3. Make sure they are similar BR and watch a few reviews to know how to use them and if they're shit. My reasoning for this is:
1. You don't have to start playing at the usually boring super low BR vehicles that are ugly biplanes or terrible looking box tanks
2. You can grind out a variety of early vehicles really fast to have different options and a nice lineup really fast
3. The low BR premiums are really cheap so the investment isn't huge
4. You don't go right up to facing players with often thousands of hours in the game, after paying 50+ dollars for a jet or tank you suck at playing.
5. You get to naturally learn how to use stuff like night vision and thermals, missiles, range finders, etc. And for jets, they play entirely differently to props, and you have to make keybinds for all kinds of shit, like 5 radar actions, secondary weapon swapping, firing rockets, missiles, bombs, counter measures, using thrust vectoring on some jets, and an entire set of keybinds to control manually guided missiles.
6. You get to learn the maps for ground, in less punishing tiers. At top tier, if you take a wrong path you're often dead instantly because tanks can spot and shoot from over 2 kilometers, at a moving target, while still moving themselves.
7. These are still premiums, so the repair costs are very forgiving, and the SL multiplier makes you more able to keep playing without buying premium account time.
I started out that way, and it turned out I really liked the game and after spending hundreds of hours for almost free, I decided it would be worth it to buy a year's worth of premium time from a sale, and got myself a top tier premium (F-5C) from another sale, to grind a new nation after I had already learned to be okay at top tier in both jets and tanks.
me who has 1,500hrs and not even at top tier my highest is 8,0. that what i get for playing 4 countryies to 7,0 and and 4 more to 4,7
@@hunterbear2421 I've been playing since 2015 and am not past tier 3

I've been finding lately that all the abrams seem to have paper armor lately. M1a2 seems to get 1 shot a hell of a lot lately and definitely doesn't do the same damage as the user or German mbt at top tier
Because most players of german tanks dont research it entirely, only few brave will play it (compared with numbers of low tier players), but in US its much more common to have top tier.
Cus irl they do.
@@eliasziad7864 cappo
Learned so much. Thank you!
One thing about not wasting SL by buying vehicles early: You do need to buy a certain amount to progress through the techtree. if you don't wanna have a tree on standby at rank 3-4 for months bc you haven't bought enough vehicles from that rank yet, you'd waste tons of RP if you play your high tier premium there, so at least buy the minimum amount to progress.
I tried to help a p.40 on my team with repairing and the enemy killed him but he came a helped me later in the match because I tried to help him and we stayed near the other the rest of the match
Better love story than twilight
Spawn camping is a big problem in the lower tiers underneath five seven I think gaijin needs to add anti-tank weaponry that is AI controlled along with anti-aircraft weaponry on all of the spawn points so planes can't spawn bomb and tanks can't spawn camp
Honestly I would be perfectly fine with them taking planes out of the ground battles, 90% of my deaths of from planes when I'm sitting on a point trying to cap or get ammo, or when I'm just 5 feet from spawn, it's called ground battle, they don't have player controlled ground vehicles in air battles, so why have planes in ground battles
@@kevinhamby2969 exactly lol
Not the AA Tho
Do a forcefield on the players in the spawn zone
The tank maps are extremely small even the big maps are small for the planes
@@kevinhamby2969 but that would make the aa vehicles useless, maybe make the cost of bp of planes higher
@@sfogliatelle278 I mean not really, most players don't even use AA for targeting planes in the lower tiers, most people just use the fast mobility to rush a cap or they go tank hunting with them, and most AAs can kill a lot of other tanks, at least in my experience the only AAs that I see targeting planes are the ones with just small caliber weapons like the .50
Very helpful bro! Tanks a lot, subbed :)
Great advice! Thank you... I have subscribed so I can learn more from you. 🙂 Cheers
I love playing this game. I used to play that OTHER one (WoT) but wanted to get into aerial combat and have not been disappointed.
My only frustration is with learning how some of the ground assault missions work. I try to hit F1 while waiting for the countdown but there’s never enough time before you’re thrown into the game. There is SO much information available that sometimes it’s overwhelming.
use the test vehicle option to learn the controls without worrying about enemy shooting you.
@@chadharris8911 I’ve found that option to be extremely helpful especially after purchasing a new plane. I’ve learned a lot but there is still so much more to master.
i wanted to grind the russian ground tree, so i looked at the 2 options (t55 am1 and t72 turms) so i got the t55 purely because of the fact i will be able to get a linup for that vehicle much faster.
in my opinion you made the right call, as the T55 am1 is also much more fun than the T72 Turms

Been playing the game for about 8 years now and I still fall for the tunnel vision sometimes. Also for number 5, I go off of the vibe of the match. If I type “good luck” and no one reciprocates then I can assume that the whole team is going to focus on themselves rather than help each other. And the funny thing is too is when it’s those games my team always loses, so you’re absolutely right! A team that helps each other always wins
Good content so I had to subscribe,good luck tank
It's funny that when you say, "Never focus on a single enemy, no matter how enticing it might be, especially if other allies or enemies are around", you then mention "the reincarnation of the Red Baron on the enemy team". Because the Red Baron himself got killed when he violated that rule, which he knew well!

Quick request though as I’ve not been able to find one anywhere, would you be willing to do a gunner guide for bombers and strike aircraft and the like? It’s the only thing I seem to keep struggling with…
TLDR; watch your tracers and load AP
every plane will be a little bit different when learning to use gunners due to the difference between the gunners positions and the camera position (parallax), the best way to learn how to use gunners is to choose a bomber with a couple of turrets that have lots of tracers (the wellington and He-111 are the ones i learned on years ago) if you have them unlocked always load AP belts for .50cal and below (20mm defensive guns do good damage no matter the belt so its more up to personal preference, though you want to be punching through engines and windshields with 7.92/.303/7.62x54 so its important to take AP). Now that you have a plane and a belt, take it into a match and try to get shot at, the best way to learn is to watch your tracers and try to correct based on that, fire in 1-2 second bursts at most, don't hold the trigger and let your guns jam, and lead your target more aggressively than you think you need to, you have to remember that the enemy is moving, your plane is moving, and the bullets are moving in 3 different directions, so leading your target is not as intuitive as with forward mounted weaponry, after that it all comes down to practice
sorry for the novel length comment but i also struggled with this back in the day so i hope it helps
@@awwgordy really appreciate the reply man, thanks a lot. Given me plenty to think about and practice with there! Guess I’m going to be spending a week or two messing about in low tier bombers!
That’s great ! I’ll use that information!
#5 tip is the PRO TIP! Great video, man!
Im sorry,i watched like 10 of your videos and realized i wasnt subscribed,i am now and appreciate all the help with the hints and tips👊
Wow I did not know about No.1 ,thanks for the tip!
Subscribed and liked! You definitely need more subs for these tips
Superb advice for beginners, well done!
love these kinda vids just watched one of your vids for the first time and its just so helpfull😃
Solid video! It's great advice for newer players.
Man, I just downloaded this game on Xbox and have been blown away with the difference between this and WOT.
Played WOT for years and was lost. Thanks for these vids
well, not downloading seems to be the best option i guess. every time i install it, i make a few games, mostly air battles, get focused by everyone in every match and just uninstall again
Thanks Tankenstein you always have helpful videos
I was about to buy some more premium vehicles but you’re right I should wait till a sale lol thank you 🙏🏽 you’ve gained a new subscriber
I subscribed just because ur name is Tankenstein and great video!!
To start off, I have a premium account and I main Britain Air RB.
On the research bit, it does work well if you’re with a premium account, and it’ll help some if you grind in low tier vehicles for over a year.
On the enemy picking bit, helping your allies is good, in low tier AC-RB you can give it a couple seconds and ask if they need help (pc/console keyboard). And if there is the NPC and enemy chasing your friend scenario, take distance into account. Because that bomber getting chased by a Bf109 is on their own if they’re past 5 km and at 4km altitude. Be smart.
Stay close to your wingman/battle buddies.
All in all, good video.
congrats on the 40k subs man.. keep it up and can you please do some game play vidz.. 👍👏
good tips hope the channel grows very large (:
As someone who is interested in joining in on (I hope) the fun, and doing some research. This kinda melted my brain.
good video. good advice. thanks!
In matches I always try to help an ally if it’s possible. For the same exact reason you stated. I hate when people see you needing help and just drive by
Great video bro , 👍 thanks
well perfect video for a guy that just lunch the game for the first time WP on that one love it (i started playing in 2013)
Awesome also great advice lol I run into my enemy who have tunnel vision .. my teammates like me since I’m like that plus they always support me and my win ratio is 50%
Pretty good video, a good tip to add is to ensure you get parts or fpe before anything else as it’s a life saver tool.
Granted, i'm still very much a noob, but I think i've had maybe 2 or 3 times where I actually put a fire out or repaired my tank without getting killed in the process. Usually the damage I'm repairing has already immobilized me, obviously still exposed to the guy who shot me, so he can get the kill before I have any chance to recover.
Hi bud, really interesting vid. i thought you made some very useful points.
If i could add something to it for any new comers, it would be to not chase the next vehicle or BR too much. Enjoy the now and get used to the vehicle you're in. The upper tiers are simply not worth playing in my view unless you enjoy being spawn camped to death by a leo.
About that first thing you said. I’m using the dardo, of40 mtca and Centauros to research the VCC after the centauro R and I get like no research even from good games with boosters. I’ve been researching the same tank for months now
What a perfect guide! iam a pretty experiencent player but if i had seen this video before i started playing i would now be even better! 10/10
a good mark for new players buying premium top tier is after about 5.0, as after that you are generally experienced enough to handle vehicles and learn higher tier vehicles you arent used to
Some other useful advice I've learned from a certain other tank game... is to follow your allies! Don't go alone!! How many times I have went off by myself and died is too many considering how much time I put in. Keeping your head on a swivel and eyes on the map also helps.
unless you are in a fast tank and are flanking the enemy, it's not like your allies are going to make your armor any better. the only times you can go alone is when you know the map and know common routes
When you go with teamates, but they die and you are alone....
Im playing at rank 3 on ground mode, and no one plays the objective, no one cares about winning, so helping your allies is a bit pointless. It's so bad I remember I lost a game when we had lost only 3 players and the other team had 6 players left... because everyone refused to go cap the point. I tried alone a couple of times but it was just me against 3 tanks and I died. No one cared so I simply stopped feeding my currency for nothing as well. At the end of the day, if you try to help your ally and no one even attempts to play the objective, you will lose anyway and you risk losing money if you die.
I already apply most these ground forces tips. Just wish most my teams would.
I'm currently playing at around 4.0 on the US, German, and USSR lines, and happy to stay at that level. Also grinding the Japanese line, but only at 1.7. Good for when I get frustrated with the higher level players.
Thank you for the information on rp for tech research!
I'm kinda experienced, been playing since 2013, US main, mainly playing Air RB and started getting into Ground RB, expecting to have a fun time similar to Air RB, I was very wrong.
The video helped out a lot though, and I'm sure the advice will come in handy.
Ok, that first tip just saved my hundreds of hours. My plan for grinding Italian bombers was to, get to a higher tier (like 4.3) and then start researching. I mean, I think I would of already figured it out because I was earning nothing to grind the Flakpanzer 38 from being in a 4.3 tank in full uptiers.
5:50 Anything but the newest vehicles (tech tree and premium purchaseable with Golden Eagles) are ALWAYS 50% off at the anniversary event (around 1 November) and at the Christmas event.
I'm not really a great tanker. Some games I only get a kill or 2, some games I get 6, 7 or even 8 kills. But some games I can sit behind a ridge, use my binos to check for enemies, not see anyone, but as soon as I peek I get killed. However, when I manage to get into a plane (especially in ground RB), it' not uncommon for me to be able to rack up both the ground and air kill counts. Since I'm a British main, my go-to plane is the Typhoon. My tanks might be 5.7, but 4x 20mm and 2x 1000 lb bombs from 4.3 are more than enough to lay down the pain on enemy tanks. The Typhoon is also maneuverable enough and fast enough to both be able to outrun and/or out-turn most enemies it's going to face.
I've learned to never rely on teammates due to they will almost almost always get u killed. Now there are rare instances when one or two mates and I have perfect cohesion, if so we try to stick together as often as we can.
Attack down in AB, not up. Try to stay cognitive of anyone above you and keep eyes in the back of your head. If it looks like they’re flying to you, you don’t always have to engage. Bait the enemy (and in some cases, your team) and use your friendlies to take out enemy aircraft. Create and exploit enemy disadvantages whenever possible. When skill is short in supply, stay in packs when you fly.
Also, for fast researching the planes on the first two ranks on the german tech tier, if you use a premium account as well as the premium marcolin's CR42, you'll research pretty much 1 full rank 1 plane for each air arcade game you play, as long as you're kiiiinda good at the game. the 12mm guns on that plane, as well as the turning speed, make you a killing machine in every single game you play. It's absolutely insane.
Also, do, really, keep in mind that if you want to research a rank 3 plane, you can still use rank 1 planes for your games at no penalty, just make sure you have one rank 3 plane as well, so that that becomes your matchmaking ranking. it always follows the highest tiered plane's rating when you start a game. Which is why you might not want to research 1 3.0 vehicle when you are using 2.3 vehicles, and then immediately bring it out. instead, maybe research a couple of them, so that you dont end up playing against a bunch of 3.0 players with mostly 2.3 planes.
