  • Here is a new kind of video I'm testing out to see if people find it useful.
    This is a basic guide to winning more games with a balanced lineup.
    These are the same principles I follow when playing low-mid tier matches :)
    Let me know what you think!
    Hope you enjoy it.

      Thank you for your comment. Yes, even in low-tier matches you sometimes see people leave after a single death. I feel that RUclipsrs (myself included) can give people the idea that playing a single tank is the norm. 99% of the time, I will play my matches to the end, using every vehicle I need to win. This is how I make the most silverlions IMHO

      I wasn’t really making a recommendation on a specific aircraft in this video - it’s just an example. The he111 is great for those specific scenarios where the enemy team is clustered together and I try and squeeze it into my lineups exactly for them however, the ju 188a2 is a much more flexible aircraft. It flys like a heavy fighter, completely outclassing the 111 in agility / defense and has some great load outs. Don’t ignore it :)

      The H16 is also Rank 2 with a pretty poor SL and RP modifier and doesn't count for most tasks.
      The bomb itself really is a great addition for a fun lineup but i rarely find myself playing for fun sadly, the game is too grindy for that and i've been since a little before tanks came into the game.
      I'm mainly an Air RB player but the rare times i play these i would probs just end up using whatever isn't being repaired at the time.

    • @tankonaut

      100% - it can get worse at top tier as it's almost impossible to buiuld a lineup alongside a top tier premium if you are new. I wish gaijin would give new players "extra spawns" like they do with the israeli sherman - so they can spawn multiple times in a match .

      @tankonaut  Год назад +1

      @@cbsboss6294 people might hate me for this but… I suffered the same issue. I’m not an air RB player so grinding planes in ground RB is so slow. The thing that helped me grind was a premium aircraft / talisman. I think that investing in a good CAS air craft at a tier you enjoy and play regularly ( especially during the GE sales ) can really help you make a dent in grinding the air tree. For instance, I bought the P47 for Russia. And it allowed me to play a meaningful role in mid tier matches and grind out the beginning the tree slightly faster. This isn’t for everyone I know, but if you can save some gaijin coin from a crafting event and then buy a plane during the sales - it can be done relatively cheaply.

    • @tankonaut
      @tankonaut  Год назад

      Thank you sir! Gland you enjoyed. The issue with the Centurion is exactly this. It doesn't really have a strong lineup around it. There's the Ratel for a light tank - which I don't rate very highly and there is the black prince premium which is very situational. I think this is actually why I don't play it very often due to the lack of lineup. However, this might change when I get the Cent MK II from the battlepass, which is 6.3 AFAIK. I could then get a bit of a lineup with the Mk I & Mk II, skink, spitfire, Lancaster MKIII (for that huge bomb!) and throw in some of the derp/ratel extras too. :)

    @cyberdroid2300 Год назад +2

    Preach brother. I'd like to add my own perspective to this. I had a designated crew slot for everything which I keep consistent across all lineup BR's and nations. This allows me to take advantage of the rp for ace crews and of highly skilled crews in general. The first is always a plane as I was first an airman in warthunder (still am). Second is for Mediums*/ heavies, 3rd for Heavies*/mediums, 4th for anything except SPAA (usually TD or light tank occupy this slot), 5th only SPAA (also usually has high level gun targetting skill), 5th optional GE slot is for a backup/wildcard tank. E.g. USA 5.7 - AM-1 mauler, M4a3 76, m4a3E2, m18 hellcat, M42 duster, M36B2 (HEAT-FS wildcard). USA 7.3 - F3D-1, M48 patton, T32, M47 patton, M42 duster, M56 scorpion. Consistency

      As long as you're having fun do what you like ;) However, yes, building out lineups early can make your games much easier to win, and give you more SL in rewards. I skipped a lot of lines/vehicles when I started and then was forced to go back down the tech trees. I was genuinely surprised how much fun a lot of vehicles I'd skipped can be :) There are so many interesting and unique vehicles in the WWII/Post War eras because so much experimenting was happening back then. I now LOVE playing Tank Destroyers, even when I skipped them initially.

      Especially in Naval, by the time i die once the match usually ends.
      In tanks it's either-an uptier -spawncamping -just an all around sucky team half the time so it's rarely worth respawning.
      Plus someone caps and the match pretty much is already decided and ends under 2 minutes.
      Air RB also got really short, sometimes by the time i'm waiting out spaceclimbers to leave the altitude i'm flying the match already ended before i get to my first bomb target when i bomb.
      Not even bothering with planes that need sideclimbing anymore, only ones i find useful are the Do335-s and some BF-s because they can keep up with the climb rates of what they face most of the time.

    In my linups I like to have two "normal" tanks, two "gimmick" tanks, and one air related vehicle (AA or CAS, but I generally dont like to bring planes in the GROUND mode)
    In my german 6.7 for instance I have the two Tiger IIs as normal tanks, the Ferdinand and Jagdtiger as gimmicks and the Ostwind II as the air related one
    For russia 8.0 I have two T-54s as normals, the BTR-80 and the BMP-1 as gimmick and the ZSU-23 as air
    I think this is a very nice balance, you have two all round ""MBTs"", can be a heavy or medium tank, two vehicles that are less flexible, more situational or even quirky in its own way, and one vehicle to deal with CAS.

    This is pretty good advice, but lets be honest, tank-for-tank, Panther is arguably a better heavy than the Tiger even though its a Medium. I'd say a batter example would've been Churchill and Cromwells, or maybe T-34s and KV-1s, where the differences are much more pronounced. Germany is pretty unique at that BR in having Mediums and Heavies that are weirdly similar.

It can face 4.3BR vehicles and never sees the american or russian 6.7 lineups. :)

  • @billywaffles5678
    @billywaffles5678 Год назад +1

    Me, a low-mid tier Swedish player: *wheeze*
    TD, TD, CAS, AA, AA
    Of course, 40mm AA, 40mm AA, current tier cas (currently murky moraine premium because it’s also good for air low tier), SPJ anti-tank, and the bt-42.
    Medium game you can mix up your lineup, sure, but *never* make the mistake of slotting in the lago or the other 2.7(?) tank, the light one.
    They have sabot, sure, but you don’t do a whole lot with it at 2.7 at only 37mm
    Instead, keep using that lineup until you reach rank 4 or unlock the Ikv 103 (earliest heat-fi in the game woo)
    Then, I would advise a lineup of something like (any order you like ofc)
    Bkan - ikv 103 - cas plane (or, if you do not have a plane slot in your load out, a tank from the ‘imported’ right side of the tree) - current strv or the current ikv - spj (this one should have a permanent slot in your loadout, at least until you consistently run into mauses and tiger 2 h’s)
    REMEMBER: swedens strength is *not* in blunt force tactics or tanking. It is in sneakery, ammunition advantage, ruining the day of mid-light tanks early game and crushing heavies late game, and unmatched firepower. If you want to play with blunt force and unmatched tanking, play Russia or Germany.
    Germany has a low skill requirement ;)

      @ZeFatController Год назад +1

      @@tankonaut You're definitely going to find the new way to play panthers, that's for sure!
      The stock grind on it is relatively okay, after parts and FPE go for horizontal drive and then push all of the mobility upgrades, as it's about as fast as the Panther A stock, but will be much faster spaded. I use it as a brawler and a flanker, and it's always my first spawn for sure. When playing the Panther D I found myself using the armor more than the maneuverability, relying on being able to shrug hits rather than avoid them. Once I swapped to the VK and started rushing the objectives, I always found a plethora of targets at range that DIDNT know I was there until the second tank died. For most maps, you can make it PAST the line of objectives into a flanking position before the enemy makes it two thirds of the way to the objective.

      Glad it was useful. Different BR lineups are fine - but you need to be aware of some of the challenges. Heavy tanks are probably the worst at being put into higher BR lineups. For example your T-34-85 at 5.3 or 5.7 the KV1-ZiS 5 will be a bit more challenging to play because heavy tanks already struggle in uptiers. Light tanks, TDs, and some mediums are fine to move into higher BR lineups because they don't depend on their armor so much. Just something to think about as you build lineups :)
