@@Hightierian sorry for the ping but when I was new I thought he was heat because of the voice lines and because of the bette of 73 easting I thought heat was the best shell so I was running 37mm he. Obviously it ain't work too well for me.
I've been playing since 2020 and didn't know about those sensitivity settings. I've had to lower mine since I'm a bit twitchy, but it overall seems smoother. I already knew about the lower ammo, but always good to get any advice about the game. You never know what can give you a better game play.
Yea not a lot of people know about the senistivity thing. The reason why i brought it up cause i remember watching someone and they over aimed an i suggested them to lower the sensitivity and they started aiming better. for the ammo thing, it helps a lot. I used to run 22 rounds in my tanks but 12 rounds is a nice balance between surviving and taking out tanks.
@@Hightierian Since I usually run BR 5.7 Germany, I keep more since I snipe a lot, but when I am overly aggressive, I lower the ammo count, but still carry more than I should.
I recently bought a premium T80U E1 which I upgraded from my 6.7 lineup which was getting miserable and I was beginning to think 11.7 was the same but thanks to you I now enjoy the chaos of top tier
@@TheGamePlayKing991 my advice to you. It’s very simple when you get blown up just remember where and when it happened. The games will be most similar every match. If u rush forwards and a m1a2 was there pre aiming now u know he can get there before u can rush your spot. Plus ru tanks have the added benefit of their tanks being small and weak spots being small too.
@@Hightierian idk man, I just hold w on my T-80UM2 and UK and get lots of kills, it's braindead to play russia, especially when you survive direct side shots and not lost a single crew member or even yellow a part.
In a cqb 12 rounds on small Urban map yes but on bigger maps or the ones that have more breathing room or sniping points I'm taking 23 to 30 rounds and most times I only have 4 to 7 rounds left because the match ended with a win lol. Sorry and I should say depending on what tank you're taking out but that's what I do for Russia. And I like your point on the sensitivity thing that is very important and Nice video btw 😎👍
u can be real cancerous and place them vertically by ur turrent fronts and where ur upper front plate meets ur lower front plate. (where that wedge forms at the front of the tank). ypu place them vertically there too. imo i used to do that when i was super sweaty. but u look ugly af. so i go for a realisitic look.
so either by when you kill them, or watching them get ammo racked. What i mean by this is, you get a kill cam when you take a tank out. Well when i play another nation like USA and i take out a russian tank. Majority of the time its through an ammo rack. Or watching my russian teammates get ammo racked. I rarely get ammo racked anymore running 12 rounds. This is an observation ive made playing a lot of games as russia and against.
@@Hightierian I mean when it comes to top tier I dont see any reason to not take at least 20 shells. 5 or 20 it doesnt matter since any shot from the side is fatal. That might not be the case for abrams family but 1 huge disadvantage for abrams are their loud vacuum cleaner engines.
@@andreassk so the thing is when you get the t80bvm and t72b3 they both get cage armor + the 12 rounds increases your survivability in the long run. But then again you can test out both ways and see what works better for you.
The best ruzzians are the ones who become sunflowers 🌻! Remember, there is no bombing hospitals in warthunder, so you won't be good at it if you're an orc!
Just because someone is from a certain part of the world doesn't mean they deserve to die. Life is precious regardless if u are Russian or Ukrainian. Please thrust upwards to get ur head out ur ass with kind of thinking.
I don't want to seem like a Debbie Downer or a pompous know it all kek. However the game play that you showed and the advice of just being aggressive generally isn't really helpful. Being aggressive and just running around like a headless chicken didn't really accomplish anything in the game you played. Russia's main strength as a nation is there tank's ability to command map control at the beginning of the game and force enemy tanks into uncomfortable spots. And their ability to control the mid and late game with their mobility and unpredictability because of that. War thunder in general is just about progression in the map and holding control of key positions. But otherwise about the sensitivity is pretty informative and your information about what tanks you should use is pretty good. 6/10 ++
I strongly disagree about the first point, I said what i was gonna do at the start of the map and did exactly that regardless of where my teammates were. Sure I agree maybe the notion play aggressive in the mid part of the match isnt helpful. But I feel like I explained clearly the strength of ru tanks with their speed and mobility. Ultimately I feel like the gameplay did show playing aggressive does work, especially with point that i made about "find out where tanks are gonna be on each map", because that doesnt change. Once you find out where tanks are gonna be at the early part of the match. It doesnt ever change, you take the game knowledge and repeat it to success. I will concede maybe that i should said you should try to listen for tank engines and some other things i use to be successful. TLDR: if i could condense the video, I would say > remember where tanks are at the early part of the match and play around that cause it never changes. Players always go to the same spots regardless of what nation they play. IE: Abandoned factory is a perfect explain of everyone going to A cap no matter what.
@@Hightierian I appreciate your response. Again, all you said is that the RU tanks are fast, but that doesn't mean anything. Most top tier tanks are "fast" so you need to provide what advantages the RU tanks pack leading mobility actually affords you over the rest; ex being timing and first shot in key spots. You didn't mention anything like that, plus you didn't exploit it in your game play. You drove to a spot and camped where any tank in game could have done, nothing in the gameplay was something that only a russian tank can accomplish. I would have also mentioned how to learn the timings or the areas where people hang out just saying you need to learn it, is not the same as giving some pointers on how to go about it. You are correct about where players go but you didn't use that information and come up with a plan that actually afforded your team more control and thats why it ultimately ended in a loss. I'd love to talk more about this in VC if you want I have a lot of experience with russia and top tier in general if you are interested.

This is war thunder its a fps style pixel peeking game where people literally rush forwards and die and respawn. Also I cant control when people die 4 times and leave the match without a kill (which is ok cause i also have bad games). at this point i legit dont think u watch the video at all . if anyone else is reading this thread. Do what I stated in the video you will do better. I swear it on my War Thunder account.
@@Hightierian You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how this game is played. But it's ok you can misunderstand the concepts that I talked about, saying that some off had comment about you getting to camp a useless angle first is somehow relevant. You didn't talk about the control of the map at all. You didn't mention what your timing advantage affords you. Nothing. You can control what happens in a majority of games if you are able to stop your own team from being farmed by taking away key areas from the enemy team. Yes sometimes you get a 100% premium team but that's not what happened. You lost map control and lost. Because you never fought for it or controlled it. Because I don't think you understand what that is. I clearly watched the video I just don't think your basic claims are meaningful.
ive been penned by M1A2s on my upper plate in my 3B all the time... i think its just that the T72s armor aint that good when fighting 120mms with pen over 580 ish... (also i run my game on 10-20 FPs on the lowest settings which means that i cannot aim very good as it has nothing to do with the sensitivity but everything to do with the massive FPS drop of my screen aiming at a vehicle... also means i get gaijined a lot more than others)
Before calling Russia OP in war thunder, check the tournaments and competitive players, there's a reason they don't use the Russian MBT's much as they're less exploitable/deployable. They lemming Rush well, but against a team who know what they're doing, it doesn't work for more than 4-5 mins.
This happens often in a match: 1. russia dominates the first battle. 2. there is nothing left on a flank for example. 3. they push enemy spawn > they all die. 4. russian players respawn and reengage people who just spawned.
@@arkplayer179 as somone with the leopard 2A5 and 2A6, I MUCH prefer the M1A1 AIM , T-80UK, T-80UM2 , ZTZ99A and WZ1001 LCT much better than the leopard series, the leopard in warthunder is overrated, it's one of the lesser top tiers, it's armor is God awful and in my opinion it's the easiest tank to kill with the biggest weakspots at top tier, nearly your entire front plate is pennable, and 70 percent of the front plate at a flat angle I a guaranteed 1 Shot , and unlike russian and chinese tanks , they aren't inconsistent. As for the Abrams, it's much more agile and menuverable it's armor is better and way more inconsistent. I'd trade my top tier german lineup for a top tier US abrams lineup any day, I regret grinding germany. Their tanks aren't bad, but they are nowhere near as good as something like the ZTZ99A, M1A2 SEP , or T-80BVM. As for the Swedish leopards, they are also very easy to 1 shot and they consistently lose parts and crew. Russian and American tanks are just way harder to kill because their damage model is not consistent, sometimes a shot to the LFP of a BVM will instantly kill the crew or ammo rack, while other times litteraly nothing happens that's why russian tanks are so OP, is because disabling the gun 1 shotting them comes down to complete luck, same goes for the Abrams and ZTZ99A. Leopards are slower too, their only "advantage" is a slightly better penning round, when you look at the M1A2 SEP it has better armor, way more inconsistent spalling mechanics, better survivability , only a *slightly* worse top tier round, better mobility, faster turret. Look at the BVM, vastly superior armor and much smaller, harder to hit weakspots, those weakspots (even direct side shots) are laughably inconsistent, I've had times where a direct DM-53 shot with a 0 degree flat angle through the crew compartment of a T-80BVM do litteraly nothing. If ind myself being killed by T-80BVMs after shooting them in places that should have 1 shotted them or at least disabled their gun, and they end up 1 shotting me. It's super frustrating when russian mains don't realize how unfair the inconsistency of their tanks are, basically from my experience playing AND going against russian tanks, much of your gameolay comes down to complete luck. German tanks and most other nato nations don't get that same random spall inconsistency . The ZTZ99A, T-80BVM, and M1A2 are the undisputed kings of top tier, Germany or Sweden isn't even on the top 5 of best tanks in game.
“Their tanks arent good irl” Based off of what? Some getting destroyed in a war? When the leo 2s were used they also got absolutely dunked on. Man i swear you people eat propaganda so easily.
When you watch a video of a turret shoot off into the stratosphere, because all the ammo is stored in the turret, around the crew itself. Yea im going to come to the conclusion that their tanks arent good irl.

How to be a better Russian player:
Switch the tech tree to literally anything else and don't be cancer
you would be surprised that you actually need to be good to do good with russia. You cant just play them and expect to win.
@@Hightierian idk man, I just hold w on my T-80UM2 and UK and get lots of kills, it's braindead to play russia, especially when you survive direct side shots and not lost a single crew member or even yellow a part.
Russia is easy to use with any tank. Just brawl. It's like using a churchill crocodile
its much more complex than that cause half the tanks have bad aiming values. But playing aggressive is one of the staples of russian tanks.
just hold W and you will be better :))
