War Thunder Sim - Beginner's guide to CAS (Close Air Support) | How To Use Bombs, Rockets & Cannons!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2024
- In today's tutorial I will be showing you the basics on how to use bombs, rockets and cannons in War Thunder's simulator battle mode.
Unlike the other game modes, you are confined to your cockpit which makes accuracy an even harder challenge than usual. Thankfully there are a few simple tricks and methods that will make it much easier for you to get shells, bombs and rockets on your target.
This video will focus on glide bombing, dive bombing, the use of cannons in the CAS role, and unguided rockets (with and without a ballistic computer).
I've tried my best to not make the video too long winded. I pride myself on keeping my tutorials simple and easy to understand, adding no unnecessary jargon, which hopefully makes them easier to watch for you.
If you need anything explained further, please feel free to comment below and I will try to answer your questions :)

What got you into warthunder?
What is your favorite aircraft?
how do i improve rudder control using a joystick like logitech extreme 3d pro
we poor bro...we dont have money for rudder pedals... just barely enough for the cheapest joystick with rudder capabilities... it's really hard to master no matter the sensivity adjustments
Very nice video! What delay setting to you suggest using on bombs?
How I figured out bombing without sights: Bombing is just imagining where your plane would go if the wings fell off. That's where the bomb will go
They generally go 10-20m 'under' your nose (or behind you) if your too low and didn't pull up in time
The front fell off
my planes just start spining around in circles like a falling leaf and lands directly above where i am going to crash lol
I don't have to imagine.
Dam, thanks you helped me a lot by this simple comment.
Other big-gun CAS that everyone forgets are the PBJ-1H, Ki-109, and XA-38. Great guide!
My man is so good that he doesn't have a single dislike :)
Still zero
Wish I could see the dislikes now
@@Haha__It's 0
Ah very nice, i personaly use Rockets (in WW2) only on Naval Targets. They are quite effective against Destroyers.... especialy thanks to the new Naval Damage model which is used in Sim EC.
So they don't work the same as RB??
The best strike aircraft for ec is il2 sturmovik with 23mm vja cannons. With prop tactic it literaly delete all ground targets from the map. I opened all my soviet airplanes with il2 in ec.
Most enjoyable i find ju87g, i use it even in ec4 for ground pounding and it works well if we are not overwhelmed by enemy air superiority
i have been waiting for this for a while and it has been worth it
Didn't think of the custom battles to practice. Pretty helpfull advice :)
Excellent guide. It just so happened I was looking for one just when this video came out.
I find the Bf 109 to be pretty good for ground pounding - I use it for quite a few of the Battle Pass challenges. It's so maneuverable and stable, you can achieve several kills in a single pass as well as defending yourself when necessary.
great video, but you forgot one crucial thing: upgrading your crews weapon maintenance greatly increases the accuracy of bombs, rockets and guns
Not guns :p
Fantastic! So simple and clear to understand, so hard to arrive at this without your help!
I just started trying out sim battles and your channel is a godsend
Excellent, Thankyou! I always seem to crash getting frustrated and too close
GuideOnMe
Nice guide! I now feel confident enough to provide CAS with my Zero
Excellent and lots of help thanks!
Ground attack takes constant practice or in battle. There was a time all I did was ground attack. Then I concentrated on going after bombers. Now I only fly fighters. Whenever I try to do ground attack now, I always end up crashing. Ground attack is something you have to stick with or become very rusty.
Excellent guide. My biggest problem is actually making out GTs from the air, which due to my eyes is really hard. This definitely helped with my getting GTs when I actually DO see them
simple and usefull guide thanks mate
Love ur channel!
This is so good, thank you! My CAS gameplay is better now!!!
Very good video!
Thanks for the tips
Nice video!
thanks for the video
I greatly appreciate this video for the bomb and rocket part. I've started playing Japan with no premium so I play a long time only Japan for rank 1-5 (like 2 years) and Japan dont have CAS, so no bomb/rocket apprentissage. Now that I've almost finished japan ground and air, I go for almost all ohter nations, its been incredibly hard to learn from scratch with no info on how to play bomb/rockets :o
Now I can rekt people with my Tiny Tim and some other bombs :D
yay im learning sim cas so i can grind the upcoming event faster i know this is an old video but thank you
perfect and clean, great guide :) But recently the tanks model in wt sim have changed, now they are the same of RB in some maps (like sicily) and it even shows you the close up camera to see what the bullett did, so I think some things are different now
Yes they have the same tank models for player controlled tanks :)
@@TeaRexChannel now they do, at least on the reworked Sicily map at 8.0_9.3. The difference is that now 20mm are useless against those tanks because they do not penetrate or they deal minimum damage. In your video they're still using the old tank models for air battles, when they use the new ones you see the xray camera when you hit them. Try a private match on Sicily and you ll see it. It's much harder to destroy them
Can you do one of these for jets please with what button binds we should be using? An also I just wanna say you're my favorite warthunder content creator, big fan of this channel and Rex's hangar. Lobe the work you do let me know if I can do anything for you god bless you!
👍 Awesome! Thank-You! ❤
Question: What's similar for Ground Forces? TiA! 😃
Can you do an overall sim tutorial video for new people coming to sim?
I have only one problem because when I start to rotate vertically in the axis of the plane, it starts to return me to the basic position.
sad ki 109 sounds other wise really helpful video
1st! Lets go
Its thunder btw
good for you
when I try the custom battles set up you did when I try and start it, it says not enough players. How you get around that
tutorial for spotting and destroying bases would be nice too cant quite find any tips on how to spot those damn bases in sim mode
What is the 5 best attack aircraft in your opinion?
That's great advice, but how do I keep my plane steady enough to aim while flying on ps4 with a hotas? I can barely keep the aircraft trimmed after months of screwing around with the settings, much less aiming on zoom.
Steady aim comes from control setup and practice. If you are struggling to aim I recommend adjusting your HOTAS sensitivity etc and see if that helps.
what are the most fun planes to fly in sim?
Do you need joystick for simulator? I can't control my plane properly in Sim battles and not so good at controlling plane with that white dot on the screen in mouse aim.
I'm new to SIM what control do you recommend? I mean I don't need any realistic cockpit, but I'm using a mouse and keyboard now and is at least now very hard for me to hit anything.
Like the other comment, I find ww2 rockets really hard to hit anything except naval targets. They seem to have huge ballistic drop once the propellant finishes, which is almost immediately after launch!
what fuse delay do you use?
You really should have some controls to change your seat position (head movement) mid-air. The crosshair isn’t even visible at times.
I haven't seen a single pillbox in War Thunder Sim; have they removed them?
how can i fire two rockets at once ? with ww2 aircraft
Learned you can play ground sim and spawn in planes today.. killed 4 teammates by accident but managed a few legit kills later on.. there's no little blue tag like air sim at close range :/
Zee Duck is best Panzer Quacker. I assure you.
Is there a mission in war sim where you can just strafe lines of fleeing refugees? I think that would be an easy start.
How to cas using k&m? its fucking for me to aim cannons becuase the rudder buttons make my plane go crazy and its hard to aim
3:53 isnt the a36 a dive bomber? :D
No, it is a modified Mustang A. It wasn’t designed as a dive bomber
20mm cannons are nearly double .50cal since .50cal is 12.7mm
meanwhile there's me who can't find shit on the ground
BEANS
You left out "toss" bombing
Jeez mate , bit well spoke for an ozzy . U'llgive us a bad name
i have never been dive bombing in war thunder lol
🅱️eans
Why am I watching this when I can't even take off properly??
If you’re the only guy who doesn’t do CAS, you have a lobby full of heavy and low flying planes to destroy. Just saying
Imaging your plane crashing into a target, and aim a tiny bit higher
Pbj with the 75, AM I NOTHING TO YOU
I never used it much so I didn't have the good belts unlocked lol
I can't even get off the ground in simulator ;_;
In case you don't know you can avoid using scopes by moving your head forwards.
Or by setting an analoge zoom axis.
