As an air rb player with 2k hours I can say that positioning and movement are extremely important in air battles as well
Positioning is easily the most important factor in an air battle
ARB is literally just positions, from spawn location to aiming and shooting
@@wulfaxe7661spawn location less so, it’s more where you choose to appear. I usually flank super far and super low, nobody can see or track me until I drop bombs and start dogfighting. (F-5C)
@@dbio305don't use bombs with that, you're a dogfighter not a bomber
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.
Another tip to avoid CAS is to hide in the shadows. I cant tell you how many times hiding in a shadow saved my butt
Absolutely!
Ultra low graphics 😂
@@vitaliyk1990 If i recall correctly some of the shadows are baked into the terrain texture when high up in a plane so even ULQ doesnt get rid of the dark spots on the maps.
Until you turn shadows and lod down lol.
Thermals activated. Sir I see him in the trees! Target destroyed😂
One of the few guides of war thunder that doesnt cover the same few tips of just "use binoculars lol" and "dont just stand out in the open". Pretty much every war thunder guide feels like its for absolute beginners and while I had already internalized most of this knowledge, this gives a great way of increasing my understanding of why what I'm doing works and the terminology used to explain it
Thanks for the nice comment! I totally agree, that's why I try to go a little bit more in depth.
@@RoneK_Actual i wonder: why Gaijin build map with a lot of spots for cover, to have 90% of players going to hilltops to shoot enemies?
Im so glad somebody finally talked about these things and explains it well, i especially utilize dead space whenever i can and it can lead to really good turkey shoots sometimes. I honestly dont know how you aren't more well known, this is really good advice for ground that more people need to know
I appreciate the kind words! I'm small time cause this is only a hobby, with a career and baby it's hard to upload consistently. But I'm glad you're here!
Same I was figuring out in my own and hooray video posted right as I was thinking about it
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.
It’s nice to see that for somebody like me with no real life combat experience, that I have learnt the points you mentioned while playing war thunder for 6 years. SLL Stops were hard for me to remember to do regularly.
@@RoneK_Actual
It's nice to finally have someone with actual AV skills putting out tips.
I'm a former 12B Sapper and while I get fire and maneuver techniques, my grunt training doesn't apply as well to AV combat.
I subbed immediately upon learning you're a 19D.
I need all the effective help I can get.
Glad you're home, brother.
Hooah.
Another tip thats especially important in city map and CQC, do not do the WoT wiggle. That engine revving will alert everyone nearby and annoy your teammates who's trying to listen for enemy engines
For sure! And what's funny is the Rev is the loudest part lol
Bro seriously why the fuck are idiots conatantly reving their engine when theyre stationairym youre just telling everyone where you are.
Thank you so much for this! I'm a WOTB player who just started War Thunder.
It can save your life sometimes though, i have bounced several panther shots with an IS-1 by using this wiggle. I use it only when im about to be shot though.
That’s and the unnecessary smoke screens just hide behind that building 2 inches from you come on can’t tell you how many times I get killed because I’m in a good ambush spot and have to move because of a teams smoke and I get spotted by MG fire from the enemy u can also peek around corners and over hills without binoculars and showing yourself by using free look can’t tell you how many time I was able to save myself from death by simply stoping holding C and panning around and to no surprise a tank is sitting there waiting another tip is move slow if you know the area is being watching your more likely to get spotted while rushing to cover then taking your time and making those kill shots because the enemy is focusing on your speeding team mates lols
I have 1200 hours logged on Warthunder. I must put my two cents in, movement is an incredibly important skill to learn. Knowing paths of which players can follow can determine your fate or your success. If you can predict the movements of your enemies, you'll bring yourself great success.
100%, I like staying undetected and waiting for those perfect side shots!
I’ll put mine in too, if you have a good flank never be blood thirsty, if you think more enemy’s are near then your better off waiting. A good flank if properly used can change the tide of a game.
The general rule of thumb is to keep low and stay behind covers like crests and rocks. Ppl also tends to greatly undermine the importance of "soft covers" like trees and bushes
You are the first person I've heard talk about SLL stops in war thunder. I conduct them, especially in squadron battles and forest fights, and it's been immensely useful for years and years.
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
lol we get taught that In the Australian Army Cadets haha, didn't know It would be so useful in war thunder, I already have a habit before pushing out from one area to another, I normally stop, look around corners peeking and pying, and then also listening to engine sounds and gunfire, one really good thing I learnt is to go to audio, turn your engine sound down and then boost enemy engines sounds to the max, it makes it so much easier to hear OPFOR, at the same time I don't get to hear my own awesome tank sounds 😭.
I forgot about SLLs, we used that in the Infantry too (its been a while lol)
@anthonyc7116 I heard it from brent0331 on RUclips before I joined usmc. Incredibly, he is now my Sgt Major
@@anthonyc7116 we use that in the Australian Army Cadets too haha
Now that I think about it, all of my 10-11 kill games were matches where I kept moving around, flanking multiple different points and staying behind and out of sight of my enemies
100%....Sun Tzu said in The Art of War: "Appear at points which the enemy must hasten to defend; march swiftly to places where you are not expected."
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.
Sound is vital in the urban maps! And glad to see you develop the skills as you play! Learning by failure is the best way!
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.
@@danielross7983 Haha! You won't believe it, but Oddbawz is the sole War Thunder player I watch (aside from coleisprettygreat). I don't know how in the hell he can tell not just the type of plane but that it's a BF-109 E from 4km away unzoomed (second latest video iirc) but it's very impressive, his ID skills are off the charts. 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.
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.
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.
As a Tiger II H player I have stopped enemies from capping using this tactic, I pop out and shoot near them, they stop and bounce, and my team comes in. It works
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.
Good War Thunder advice... not so applicable in the real world ;)
Wow, a real tanker's experience translating well into a game
Thanks for sharing
FUCK WT ITS DOGSHIT
These tips are amazing! Hopefully more people see this so games can be more competitive, longer and fun :). Such a useful and practical guide, well edited and excellently narrated. I'll be keeping an eye out for more of your top tips :D. P.s. love the Chi-Ri ll game play, nobody gives that tank enough love!
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you liked the video! Dude the Chi-Ri II is disgusting. I'm honestly considering getting a talisman for it, probably do a video on it soon!
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 RUclips 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.
Thanks for your service and the comment! You're totally right about those tips as well. What's cool is a lot mounted and dismounted movement tactics are very similar.
I've tried those tactics in my first 10 matches of the day and oh my, it worked really better that got me at least 2-3 more kills in an average game. You've earned a new follower man.
I'm glad they helped! Thanks for the comment!
Finally, a solid fundamentals video that isn't just "use your binos" and "memorize the maps". Thank you for the great video!
You're welcome! Thanks for the comment!
Finally, an actually useful tank guide. I've been looking for something like this for a long time, something that actually explains positioning more than the usual "just flank bro" advice. 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.
Please consider recording yourself in gameplay and explaining what is going through your head with positioning and tactics, @AdamTheEnginerd did videos like that for air RB which were extremely helpful guides!
That's a good idea! I'll take that under advisement!
A good rule of thumb:
Always drive the way water would flow.
I am remembering this one for training the new guys. Good point
Towards the nearest river basin?
I have less than 300 hours in this game and I was surprised to find out I already utilize all of these tips, choosing Japan as my first nation really helped me use my environment instead of relying on armour. these are very helpful tips, I like the way you lay it out with visual examples, great video!
Thanks for the comment! Japan between 3.0 and 5.0 freaking rocks. Chi-Ri II one of my top preforming vehicles.
I started with japan too! Its a rough start to the game, but if you manage to perform with japan, you manage to be a menace with nation that you actually have some advantage
just dont leak any document of Bradley plz
Just because you said please I won't lol
@@RoneK_Actualbro had devious plans
Very good tips mr. Bradley gunner, i can say that these tactics I've already been using but I'm surprised by how rare they are in game. Sometimes I'll spawn on a map with a great flank route thinking ya I'll counter flank, only to be met by no one flanking in the first place
That's my favorite lol for some reason people think there is some sort of gentleman's agreement between teams where we are supposed to just drive straight at each other but nah bro lol
Agreed. So often (i play mostly arcade after my 2 year wt break). Trams go all center. Nobody at all goes to cover flanks. And surely, 3 minutes later, while team is dead.
As a CAS main ( only fly guy in my group of friends) I love when tanks sit still in the middle of a road or field, it's easy pickings. If you want a better chance then back yourself against a building so I can only come from 180° of you and sit still. Moving targets are easy to spot. And if you are AA PLEASE put bushes on the TOP of your tank. I can't tell you the amount of times I've been shot by hidden AA
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.
I managed to stay undetected in SU 152 by two enemies with about 5 meters from them just because I tuned off my engine and they didn't look around the rock I was staying near XD
So satisfying lol
Running through the low trench areas along with the gullies has allowed me to move into a flank position many times or even hit the other team from behind without being seen. So many players skyline and get popped by someone lurking in the trees and bush areas due to being spotted so easy. Great vid and spot on with sound tactics.
Great tips! Coming from an old 11H (TOW Gunner on an M901) I can verify that these tactics are very sound!
Hell yeah! Those are old school!
Another good video RoneK, extremely informative, always nice to see real world tactics and strategies trying to be translated into war thunder.
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!
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).
Mobility often contributes to survivability for often than armor and firepower do!
This helps a lot, thanks for the video
Glad to hear it!
I cannot stress how perfect the timing was for me to get recommended this video.
I was frustrated with always dying in GRB so I went and grinded ARB for about a year now (got the F14), now I am finally going to get back into ground battles because I have the Squadron Abrams researched (not bought).
I am going to try and use these tips to the fullest, and also thank you for your service!
Awesome! I hope these help on your grinding journey!
If youre jumping from low tier to topp tier youre going to get abaolutly shit on by players that know every spot on the map and every weakspot on every tank.
@@robertharris6092 Still gotta grind 600k SL before I make that jump, that's why I'm going to start getting into GRB now rather than later
Shape, Shine, Shadow, Silhouette, Movement, Noise. Basic camouflage principles.
one thing I've noticed a lot recently even in higher tiers is people being almost senseless, they never listen to other tanks nearby to figure out where the enemy might be and always just keep going down the except same path, getting the first shot in is like the holy grail of a tank gunner so not being seen or heard is so important
I like waiting for others to get impatient. Then they go into bad spots which makes them easy kills!
The brain of people at top tier have rotten
Not to mention when hiding from CAS you can use the shadow of buildings etc which makes you even harder to spot.
You can but that's assuming the CAS player isn't running ULQ or has shadows set to minimal - you do get some benefit but it's not as much as you think.
@@gfimadcat ah yeah
Ulq players...
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.
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.
As a CAS pilot I can confirm, that this helps a LOT, given you are not in a Powerpositon, you will very rearly get CAS'd, so yeah, works pretty well.
After watching this ive played a few missions and noticed a DRAMATIC improvement in my combat abilities. Before, i was lucky to last 5 minutes before losing all 3 tanks. In my last mission i didnt die once and scored 5 kills! Thank you for this video
That's awesome! Glad it helped!
0:54 u really called me out there but you actually serving got me way interested. Love the video and instantly subbed
Thanks so much for the kind words!
I already use the first two strats but damn this was still an eye opener, thanks! 🙏🏻
Of course! Thanks for watching!
Army! I knew it. My father was army. I knew you had experience, to know about silhouettes on a ridgeline.
Hooah!
When I first saw your video I thought it would be another war thunder RUclipsr talking about technical stuff like settings, turns out I actually get an effective lesson based on real life experience, cool video man
I appreciate that!
You got me at "I was actually in the army" - I immediately perked up and started listening more intently at that point! (though I was not going to dismiss what you said offhand anyway, it helped a lot).
Thankyou for your great tips!
Bro thank you for curing my skill issue.... W video 🔥🔥🔥
We have all been there pal! Keep trying to get better!
I was a Bradley Gunner as well. I use those skills that I learned in the Army. Thank you for your service and video. I was in 2/7 IN, 1-9 IN and in 1/9 Cav. A-22 Dirty Deuce out!!
2/37 AR courage conquers!
Very well put together! It couldn’t have been said better!
I find myself using those strategies lately and my performance has improved significantly.
I’d add- play different types of vehicles, look the game from their perspective and perfect the strategy of implementation of your favourite tank.
Earned a sub mate, such an underrated WT RUclipsr
Means a lot! Thank you for that!
3:27 "All you have to be doing is paying a little bit of attention"
Average WT players: shieeet fam I'm already lost
Facts!
I actually been thinking a lot of these points but you really helped improve and polish it for me never seen much guide and tips about this topic
This was a fantastic video man! Some really good tips in here.
Thanks for kind comment!
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 know right! I'm constantly surprised at how many Warthunder toobers don't take advantage of shadows in this game.
For real! In my camo video a while back I talked about how shadow is one of the key fundamentals of camouflage and just staying alive. Thanks for the comments guys!
ULQ: 🤨
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!
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.
Not to mention that the constant noise inside must have been horrible for the crew.
@@Oddball_E8it seems like they also got a mobility kill. The tank seemed to be uncontrollable by the end.
Wow, I got laughed at by my squadron for having 2.5k hours and asking for tips with positioning of this nature. Thanks a lot, would love to see more of this kind of content.
I didn't know the SLL check was an official thing, I've been doing that forever so it's cool to know it's an actual military tactic
Super common dismounted procedure!
I've played War Thunder (on and off) since it first came out (with just planes), and you have some good advice here. Even more important in Realistic mode.
I would add that, in appropriate circumstances, I also turn off my engine (in what you call dead space), and an approaching enemy can't hear me at all.
These are some really great and important tips! Really gave me a solid understanding of the things I've learned throughout the years and learned new things like silhouette. It's a lot more satisfying to apply these together with vehicle and br knowledge where you'd basically be able to predict where most people are
Im a world of tank blitz player with 10k battle. I was using this technique and it was very helpful ! Every battles i was the best because of the mouvement !
Some actually great and new tips! Usually with these videos it's all the same, but you changed a couple of them with great input and added some new cool stuff. Great video!
Thanks so much for the awesome comment!
Super cool video dude, very fascinating.
I struggle at times to remember my tank driver training when I play WT. But it was over 30 years ago. Old CDAT 19K here. Was with 2nd Armored Cavalry back in the late 80’s on the inter-German border when there was still 2 of them. “Scouts out!!”
If you ain't CAV!
@@RoneK_Actual,You ain’t Sh**h**t!! 🫵
Been forever since I’ve heard that. 😂
We still say it lol
i've been playing for years but seeing this, you gave me some things to think about when it comes to firing and maneuvering; thank you!
One of the best WT guides I have ever seen, clear, understandable, and to-the-point.
Loved the interactivity with trying to spot the Puma, you have certainly earned yourself a sub!
I appreciate that so much! Thanks for the kind words!
thank you for the knowledge. Please share more!
I stumbled across this video by accident, and I am not disappointed.
These are all excellent tips!
As someone who enjoys using CAS, all the points you made about avoiding it are spot on.
Weird how video seems like the the most obvious things being pointed out, but then you realise how people play and maybe it isnt so obvious to the majority.
Thanks y'all for the awesome and kind comments! Glad I could help out!
this is so very useful, I have been trying to understand and learn to utilize position and movement on my own through trials and error for a long time now. What you said aligns with my understanding and in addition you brought good tactic that I haven't thought about. Thank you.
Glad it helped! Happy tanking!
As an experienced war thunder play, I’ve evolved to learn these tricks, especially dead zone. However it’s nice to hear it from an actual experienced tanker. Awesome video, hopefully some new players see this and learn some tactics. I’d like to see more of your strategies. Im sure there is something new to learn from an actual tank crewman
Wonderful breakdown of real world tips and tactics. Thank you so much!
Great video, love the way you made it easy to understand 👍.
This is best warthunder tutorial in the world, I managed to get results from the first game, I decreased my deaths and increased my kills , very very nice bro 👍👍👍👍
Let's go!
from an old Vietnam era vet thanks for your service
I'm supprised that I haven't seen anyone mention these more often. When I started WT I watched some old WW2 US Tanker training footage and got these points drilled in very early on.
The same fundamentals of warfare never change!
This vid is so underrated!!! I used your tips and I'm finally having fun playing ground rb. Thank you very much 🙏🏼
Glad to hear it!
We need more videos like this! Watching a war thunder veteran doing a 10 kill game is awesome, i love them all, but an actual veteran giving intelligible, didactical advice is what the War Thunder comunity is in need!
Got a like and a sub
Thanks for the kind words! Motivates me to do more!
Great Work
Pretty Good Lessons
Thank You Man
I noticed this significantly as a new player to the game but was unable to effectively replicate it often enough. Sometimes I’d get nice angles and positioning but I wouldn’t be able to replicate that every time.
I really loved how easy was to understand the explanations during the video; also the best parts were when an enemy tank got shot at, or instantly killed, and above them appared a notification saying We need more bushes; I was like: "Houston we've got a problerm! We neeed more bushes!" 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for your service and thank you for the tips.
A german wt Player said: dive like the whater would flow.
He was also an operater in a Leopard 2 tank.
Yup!
Good work man, very helpful.. easy to utilize tips. Keep on keepin friend
Thanks for the super nice comment! I appreciate it!
One of the first things I tried to teach my friend was: "High ground = bad"
I always told them to try and keep low and to obscure themselves as much as possible even if it means it takes a little longer to get somewhere.
I also told them not to go directly on top of hills to shoot and to try and find alternative angles that provide them the same desired sightline while hiding them from undesired angles.
Because if you go to the top of a hill, you're completely naked while if you climb the side of the hill you can hide yourself from the other side, play around it and even pull into cover at an angle that's more difficult to predict.
Of course you can't always do these things or you end up exposed in some way, but most of the time I die to getting swarmed or getting bombed.
Hey! This worked extremely well! Got a 4 kill game first and only died to revenge CAS!
Dude we've all been there, having a killer game and then someone's salt melts you away lol
Just found out your channel. I hope I can learn more information from you with a military background. This video is really unique in the sense that most youtubers say the most cliche tips when making videos trying to improve players. Yours really go in depth and they don't just give the viewers theory they show the viewer how such theory works when the viewer is trialed. Very entertaining stuff!
Thanks for the kind words! Only some of it translates because this is a video game but I try my best to explain what I can!
This is super informative, especially for new players. I wish this video came out when I started. Took me hundreds of hours to get my movement down.
I figured a lot of this stuff out on my own over a hundred hours of playing but the validation is nice and I will be more conscious about these things now.
Really cool video man, been playing WT for 8 years. You sir have earned a new subscriber
Welcome aboard! Thanks for the comment!
Great stuff! Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
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 a scout as well and I always use what I know in WT. great video man
Great set of tips! I would add use of shadows for concealment and turning off engine if waiting in ambush.
Also, when choosing a firing position - choose a cover and angle that allow you to see but not fire (or to fired upon), popping out to fire and back into cover.
Shadows are really great ways to lay ambushes!
these are the best advices i've heard so far, thank you sir.
in the british army we used the seven S's for concealment and those help in WT as well.
i agree...flanking is the key... remember move and flank...
Nice video! Really enjoyed watching :D
Thanks for the visit!
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.
Spot on! I love catching players out with that W key slammed down!
amazing guides man , keep it up , you'll breakthrough !
Thanks for the support! Glad you liked it!
"I really enjoy taking advantage of the dead spaces in my American light tanks."
Finally, someone to teach our fellow tankers and pilots.
During my time of playing this game, I got taught by Tankenstein, McKong and Defyn.
Now, I am a better player 🙂.
Bro, I just Subscribed on your channel. I am impressed by your work. You're 100% invested and disciplined.
Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate that!
Excellent video dude, have sub.
Thank you, something very useful to listen and try to change in gameplay.
Of course! Thanks for watching!
This should be a mandatory guide for players wanting to play top tier.
Especially for the Click-bait Abrams running around in the open nowadays.
Especially the hiding from CAS tip.
Dang, witnessing this channel’s growth is crazy
One additional component on this topic is knowing when to not move/fire. Patience will get you a tremendous amount of kills in the long run. This goes double for SPAA.
10000000000% that's my number one piece of advice I give.
I've realized as I was watching that I've slowly over timed naturally started using most of the stuff you bring up in the video as I played more and more, it's great to see there's actual terms for this stuff so I can explain it better to friends who haven't figured this stuff out or are new to the game, I'll def be sharing this video with some of them as well, thank you for making this
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
