Perhaps make it clear your advice regarding not working on other crew slots is for air realistic only. Ground forces is completely the opposite and weird seeing as these days GF is a fair bit more popular than air RB.
You're right, I just kinda amused it was clear as I said you can only spawn once. I would still say you want separate crew for bombers/fighters etc if you have multiple slots for planes. And in general you want to use the best crew for a fighter.
Mostly for bombers; the AI gunner skills are really useful as your gunners go back to neutral position when they can't aim in the direction, if an enemy is really close on your tail but keeps bobbing up and down the AI tends to keep the guns aimed at that direction allowing for quick return fire. and don't neglect weapon maintance, for bombers its great when you use lots of small bombs or are aiming for a small target as the bomb gets closer to the center. Fighter/jet bombers; I got to the arado before my crew was level 17 spending all my points on repair speed/level you notice the g-tolerance, but even with a high level tolerance its still goes quick if you neglect stamina. pet peeve; I don't get why everybody is like; "you can turn off free repair but nah." its like 1 click or enter press to start a match extra but saves you so much SL in the long run, especially for newer/bad/limited time players. early rank most vehicles will have repair times under an hour to a few hours, so if you swap between nations they will most likely be done by the time you play them, or atleast save you a large part. later vehicles the time will be days (from rank 3 some will be +1 day) but the repair cost are also high, but even 8 hours will make a difference. so if your new/bad spread out to other countries get to know your enemy and save SL for the plane you really want, and for somebody with little time you just have more to spare and less grind to get the next plane.
Indeed because if you if you repair manually later it will be cheaper because you have to only pay for the remaining damage/time left. Alas on some planes the AI gunners maxed can be light laser cannons and will shred any naive player trying to get on your tail. Also its useful if youre in a heavy fighter/attacker and really need to concentrate everythign on flying maneuvers and you cant possibly man the Turrets yourself because you will either crash or get hit or miss someone else.
Little Tip which seems at first unintuitive: To maximise Crew and Module XP, play a lot of arcade and kill as many planes, or dmg etc, its much easier, also only bring your one grinder plane.
Love these beginner guides they help out a lot. watching your gameplay with prop planes I see you manipulating a lot of controls and stuff on the plane. could you go over controls, key bindings, and things like prop feathering, and more intense things?
love your videos and I just started to get into warthunder. without your videos it would be so much more painful. Thanks a lot and have a good time and keep on with these helpful and entertaining videos
I'd say reload speed is definitely NOT useless. If you make it back to base without much damage, but in need of a reload, you can get reloaded but keep the fuel amount you already have. On some aircraft it really makes a difference, as they have way more fuel even on minimum load then they need.
if you are using mostly strike aircraft on air arcade realistic then there is a lot more importance on keen vision and awareness. also i leave my gunners to the ai because i dont shoot well with them, so accuracy and percision is more important to me.
As a newbie sim playet and someone who hasnt spent any money in game this was incredibly in formative to save myself some pain also even if its a pain grinding instead of outright buying the ace qualification is good for low tier planes where the requirements arent absurd.
I’m really struggling in the game so this is appreciated. I got the p-39 airocobra and keep blacking out. G-tolerance and stamina will be priority and I guess I’ll go back to lower tier until I can play this plane. Honestly I am frustrated because all I do is get shot down and not get a single fighter kill all day. Starting to think the game is too much for me. I’m great at WOT and WOWS though.
On regards to repair speed, it also makes your gunners reload faster, much much faster. On the NC223 the reload goes from 80s to 24 or something like that
11:15 ...reload and repair speed need to have the same points, plane gets repaired/rearmed by the slowest. if you have repair in 15 secs but reload in 25 secs, it will only be ready at 25 secs.
False, the plane gets rearmed when repairs and respawn are done, you can only give priority to repair points and you will get a 15s repair. The only advantage of rearm points is if you land with no damage and want to J out as fast as possible, you can do so while the timer is ticking.
@@goldenx86 ..... you can give points to rearm and to repair. if you have full repair and no points to rearm, when will the plane be ready, by the repair time, or rearm time?
@@DEFYN hmmmmm maybe this devblog is misleading, as it says awareness is what determines missle detection range. But after looking at the in game descriptions, it seems like youre right. I guess awareness really is useless hahaha warthunder.com/en/news/6761-new-detection-system-for-missile-launch-en?page=2
I would go with ingame, it's not the first time the dev blogs are wrong. I can't tell you for sure though, I got all my crews maxed so hard for me to see a difference
👍. Glad I found this vid. Could not understand y I could only use 1 type of plane when I ran in RB. Thanks. I just thought Is was another one of gaijin’s idiotic things. Do u have a vid that helps to explain the differences between the different game modes?
On repair speed and weapon reload speed you forgot to mention how they reduce the amount of time you spend repairing and reloading on the airfield by about 10-15s when maxed out.
I like the content of your videos very much. Plz play when and if you can the fw 109 d9 im curious to see what i can do with a plane with great roll but TERRIBLE (seems to me) turn. Thanks!
@@DEFYN i ve already saw it but i will give it a closer look if you say they're similar. Thank you! And keep up the content and the channel as long as it makes you happy!
Thanks ) Keep in mind the d9 has a better engine below 6km and turns slightly better The roll does compress a bit more but other than that effectively the same

i sometimes go in GF and dont know what to upgrade in crew points, do you know a good guide for it?
I have no thought on this... now ima keep 2 crews for air cause i want realistic ground so i will keep a fighter and a bomber

early rank most vehicles will have repair times under an hour to a few hours, so if you swap between nations they will most likely be done by the time you play them, or atleast save you a large part.

Very useful, and well explained.
Glad it was helpful!

Just one thing. In arcade battles you get 3 crew point per 100 rp instead of just one. So arcade is good for farming SL AND crew points.
I love the "EXTREME OVERLOG 3G, LOST CONTROL"
Thank god a guide on this, I’ve never understood crew points and never bothered investing them, not once in 7 years
Your kidding what about blacking out. I literally can’t dogfight at rank 2 and my crew is already still trash.

Your best bet would just be to slow your turning and not yank on the stick. Even fully specced pilots can have trouble with g forces

You peeled some bananas from my veterans eyes. :D
Basically G tolerance and stamina are the only ones that matter and repair stuff
i maxed out fire precision and fire accuracy not knowing it was only for AI
Great videos man!!!
this is really good even from 3 years ago..

In my opinion, Investing in multiple crews allows to farm SL with free repairs.
Free repairs are plane bound, not crew bound.
You're throwing money away by crewing the vehicles instead
@@DEFYN what i ment was, we can have multiple crews repairing multiple planes simultaneously for free.
Any difference between the "aiming precision" and "aiming accuracy" influences on mouse aim for G-Tol and Stam?
that intro is hard
i maybe have like 10.000hrs in this game, what am i doing here :D
Just a note: awareness is a lot more helpful if you’re playing jets. Because it increases missile detection range.
That's keen vision
