Pro tip: Sideclimb, even when in a tank

[@Wtf8888]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@The.Drunk-Koala]

Shhh don't tell them that. Keep it a "secret"

[@StarWarsExpert_]

What is sideclimb exactly?

[@miloda_bess]

Side climbing is where you climb a bit to the left or right. It helps you to avoid the earlier engagements and lets you start to get behind the enemy. It’s pretty helpful. He is serious abt tanks as well. With tanks, if you go in between the point, or to the far side, you can get a much better angle on the tanks approaching the point.

[@StarWarsExpert_]

@@miloda_bess Ah okay. I already do that most of the time. In tank battles however, when it is pretty late to the match, I don't sideclimb when we are low on time and need to cap asap and when we already have advanced behind the capture points.

That last 1v1, 1v2 or 1v3 to clutch for your team, and coming out on top due to your ability to stay calm and fight good and the enemies getting cocky, is so nice and then that burst of adrenaline and pure excitement as you come out on top is INFINITLY more awarding, and istg that shit feels so great it's the biggest dopamine rush it's addictive, it makes you feel on top of the fuckin WORLD

[@Anti-Villain-Wolf]

Something I learned with the F-104 is using vulture tactics, keeping your speed as high as possible, and making diagonal passes on the map. Also, at higher tier, while they are nice to have, don't rely too much on missiles. Remember, a missile can be chaffed or flared away, but a bullet can't be.

[@TheSystematicPsycho]

F104 is bullet

[@jeremyfisher8512]

Do one run per plane and keep going and change target if you miss. Eventually you’ll hit something and nobody can hit you back. Reliable 3 kills per game.

[@mortallychallenged1436]

Sound awareness is something I use frequently in Ground and Air RB. When I dive on someone and would get close to Rip speed or rudder lock speed anyway, I turn the engine off, so they have no warning. But I only do this with planes that turn back on fast.

[@TheSystematicPsycho]

I love doing this

[@TheCodMineMan]

I believe that in this game, a decision you made 5 minutes before hand determines whether you live or die. A proper setup to a fight, as well as target prioritization is more important than your actual mechanical skills!

[@RosettaStonedd]

Love that intro dude Probably another tip I’d throw in there is early AIM-9/R-3’s is to lead the missile. You can even use them on prop bombs like B29/TU4 but you have to be within 1KM I believe. I would also mention how the side of radar, when trying to use a radar missile, can help you with intercept and knowing your radar missile capabilities. Maybe even throw in another tip of using the 3-4th line on the rocket sight on the hud, sometimes lower depending on the rocket (Tiny Tim’s).

[@mangosuppe8706]

Your lead tip is extremely crucial ESPECIALLY for migs and the r3r, at some moments you can (kind of) make the r3r pull 20gs (only for around 50 millisecs or so) if you have proper lead and guidance towards the target getting some insane kills with it

[@TheSystematicPsycho]

Thanks bro!!!

[@StealthySparky]

Pretty cool video, well I'm sure they have been a lot of those for WT but I guess most players don't bother with the old ones. That said, I think you forgot some important ones (unless you think they're too obvious) : 1-1) keybind the "free look/camera" and look around you as much as possible, a lot of player get jumped by enemy they never saw coming. Sound won't help you much in Air RB (unless in clouds) since you'll only ear enemy planes when they're around 1 km from you: at that point it's already too late. 1-2) learn how to look around with the "free look/camera" you while controling your aircraft (rolling ect.). It's probably the first thing to learn in planes and strictly necessary for defensive flying. 2) when you're a beginnner, being a good teammate is more important that being greedy and trying to kill everything. So please try learning the basics of teamplay which are : 2-1) Positionning, it can get pretty deep but for starter : stay close to your allies to be able to help and be helped! Also the slower your aircraft is the closer to your allies you'll need to be to get to them in time to help them. 2-2) Timing, same thing but for example: if you and an ally attack the same target then don't attack at the same time - especially if you're attacking from the same direction! The second player to attack should wait a bit before attacking after its ally, that way the enemy won't be able to avoid your two attacks in the single same manouver.

[@HighDefinitionx3]

Nice Video! Good Tips :)

[@vladxd6652]

Hey good video!! Can you make video about how to shoot and lead the shots ad different guns and ammo

[@andrew9021]

Something that was missed and I think is vital is to always maintain situational awareness. This can involve checking your six every now and then, taking time to assess the enemy's numbers and positioning before committing to a fight, and trying to work with your teammates in multiple vs multiple fights. This is still very useful at prop and gun-jet tier, but it is A NECESSITY when fighting at top tier, where the main threat is from missiles.

[@corvettezone1771]

I’ve noticed that at higher tier jets (10.7) people just don’t seem to look around as often and probably rely on their RWR. I’ve killed so many people because I have my radar off, get behind them and their RWR won’t pick me up. I can then get directly behind them, launch a missile and run the other way to do it again

[@Blazerod_za]

I needed all of these of tips 😭

[@Scrimmy836]

something i learned to do just by playing all teirs (air) is when you notice your pilot starting to loose consciousness, tap your nose down for like 0.5 seconds, it will slowly bring your pilot back and it will allow you to keep holding the turns and be able to get your nose around faster than they'd think

[@Claymore1014]

Last time I played War Thunder was probably last December. Tis game makes me cry man. In tanks I feel like an American GI in veitnam and planes make me feel like I'm using a peashooter with all guns and every plane I use instantly becomes as versitial and manuverable as a beached whale. I'm start playing again, see how that works out for me.

[@isaiahrohrs2683]

Also the dive bombers have air brakes, makes them a bit more useful for attacking ground targets and trying to get a fighter to overshoot you.

[@shadowcarthage]

Sometimes it is better to go full vertical when an enemy has less energy than you. If you keep a slow semi roll going they tend to find it hard to shoot before they run out of energy. You will as well however so pull your rudder hard and put out landing flaps as you turn over to get your guns on them faster.

[@csaysgrub]

Addendum for flaps, don't use them too much. Flaps make you burn energy faster, which can be useful, but in prolonged fights is generally not what you want.

[@zachattack_the_imperialist6065]

Tip that only goes for toptier: pre flare because if you are deploying flares before an enemy has fired a missile it will be much harder for them to get a good lock in the first place

[@brendenstyre4784]

It’s funny cuz I started playing war thunder about a week ago I’m at 3.7 I’ve picked up on a lot of this stuff as I’m playing or noticed some stuff like, “man this bomber is lighting me up i need to get under it” or “I already know this guy is coming straight at me I need to roll before he gets too close”. I love this game it’s so addictive. The progression through tiers is rough but the progression through modifications makes it enjoyable I love that you can upgrade your plane and crew skills. I used to play a lot of air games growing up like air conflicts, blazing angles, heroes over Europe and the pacific… and this game blows it away. I wish I had a VR for my Xbox

[@pusheenthecat9264]

It's a good idea to read up on some maneuvers that will help you in a dogfight. Knowing different tricks could help turn the tide and ensure an easy kill

[@jacedostal4399]

8:16 Knowledge is really good to have, just like he mentioned I got a premium plane and was grinding through the tree to top tier and was getting killed alot, but I remembered which planes have a lot of missiles and which can out maneuver me, which helped when going into top teir with tech tree planes

[@jacedostal4399]

Also one thing I would add is to experiment with the plane you are using and see if bombing or dogfighting gets you more rp or so (depending on what you need). This is more of a tip to help the grind, but it's good to know which plane is better at getting sl and which is better at gaining rp. P.S. all planes have different percentage bonuses for rp and sl, be sure to check the stat card

[@VeeTaperTemplar]

Sick edits and the committing too soon is an issue lol

[@TrangleC]

Having a good internet connection helps a lot too. Ping and Lag killed me back when I still played the game. I think it was in the patch 1.3 to 1.4 days, around the time when tanks were first introduced, but when the game was still mostly a WW2 era "flight simulator". I learned a lot about air combat. Watched long and detailed tutorial video series by KZbinrs like "RamJB" and others, learned all about Energy Fighting, Boom & Zoom, air combat maneuvers (like Displacement Rolls, High and Low YoYos, Hammerheads aso.) and I dare say I got pretty good at executing those. My defensive flying was pretty good. I never really lost any 1 on 1 fight even against people who had the energy advantage. The problem was that I just couldn't kill anything. I couldn't hit stuff. People flew through my tracers without taking damage and I even had rubber banding issues sometimes while at the same time I died from shots that really didn't look like they should have hit me. There have been battles where I flew together with friends and I was playing bait, keeping whole fur balls of enemies busy, dodging 6 or more guys without getting hit, while my buddies picked them off like bats catching bugs buzzing around a street light at night, with me being the street light. It sucked having shitty stats and looking like a total failure while at the same time routinely outmaneuvering people with 100 times my kill count.

[@skypack156]

U left the the biggest tip out and that’s how to flare properly but don’t tell them that 😂😂💪

[@hariszark7396]

Pro Tip: Decide your role in the fight. Not every plane is multipurpose. If you want to dogfight get a fast maneuverable plane and go high waiting for opportunities to attack. If you are going after bombers get a plane with strong weapons. Get away from any dogfight and wait for the bomber that will be vulnerable. If you are after ground targets get a heavy armor plane with rockets and bombs and stay away from anything else than your ground target. Hit and go back to your base.

[@shadowcarthage]

Helpful tip Rolling scissors is pretty useful at if not getting someone off your tail preventing them taking an accurate shot. Another one is that your convergence should be set between 600-800 depending on the plane as any less than that will lead to longer range shots being incapable of hitting, 600M means at 1.2KM they are back where your guns are, 800M means 1.6KM range before they come back. If you have a nose mounted gun that is off center it will pull your plane in that direction, be mindful of this you don't want to pull your nose off target because you fired too much.

[@ThatOneThunderer]

There is one thing I hate mainly: TEAMMATES Picture this. You see a lone enemy, and decide to dive onto them and try take them out. Suddenly, you are swarmed by another two enemies that came out of nowhere. You ask for cover and support, but no teammate arrives. So you just die. But the SECOND you die, teammates appear!! Like what is this??! I have had so many matches like this, and it just puts me off. I die all the time, and then a teammate appears the second I die. Like what can I do?

[@urfaverthiaya6508]

something that has helped me in mid tier (4.0 - 6.0) is not flying so far away from my team or just flying near one or two teammates helps so much coz u can bait enemies into your teammates crosshair which mean u can survive longer

[@TheSystematicPsycho]

Yeah even coordinating with another squad mate helps tenfold

[@fr0stra1d]

Ok a decent tip I’ve learned, if you’re avoiding fire in lower prop plane BR’s it’s easier for your enemy to aim for wings so roll and dive if your high enough to do so, if not go right then quickly left or vice versa depending on terrain.

[@RIP_BadluckS13]

[@ctrains123_]

I can't tell you how much just looking around and focusing can help you a thang that's helped me with the switch from arcade to realistic we turning down my engine volume and then not listening to music I know music helps with the monotony of the climb but don't as it takes your situational awareness down

[@Hegotflow99]

The head on is the oldest paluka move in these kinda games.. lol it’s usually the first thing people learn not to do.

[@xanderwusky3001]

10 - Keep in mind flaps actually reduce your turn speed in the long run on most planes (not on all at least in war thunder, so like you said try). But as a general rule, do not use flaps if you do not want to lose speed. Flaps will make you turn harder but eventually slow you down so much that you end up rating slower. Essentially, flaps tend to be good in the 1 circle fights. In 2 circle fights (ratefights) you want to use them less since it doesn't matter how hard you turn, only how quickly you go around the circle

[@nikolajjensen8921]

Underrated asf

[@Frogg-YT]

having a keybind for almost everything in the game can give you a massive advantage in toptier air

[@Mr.Roboto_]

Real pro tips: 1. Learn from the father of the air. Oswald Boelcke and his The Dicte Boelcke is a good read. 2. Learn from the greatest generation. Look up air combat maneuvers and tactics. Implement these in your flying. 3. Remain calm. Could you ignore the chat? You are more likely to make a mistake when you let your emotions take over. 4. Psychological warfare. Know when to use smoke and use it to taunt your opponent. Make them lose their cool. This also makes opponents focus on you while your allies can sneak up on them. 5. It doesn't matter what level or plane an opponent is flying, treat every enemy as if they were one of the best players in the game. 6. Situational awareness. Make sure to keep a mental note of the enemy's location. This is critical when fighting 2 vs 1 the hard way. 7. Chivalry is dead. An enemy who survives will come back to kill you. Always press your advantage.

[@targapantera3330]

Pretty solid video, covers most of the important points Just a little bit more specification on things like flaps as some people might start using flaps whenever possible which in 99% of aircraft is a horrible idea and worse than never using them

[@skeptik4180]

You're*.

[@Lookieng]

Sound awareness is specially useful in sim, since you're forced into first person with a very limited field of view (noticeably in low 6) you won't be able to see much, added to the fact that the game doesn't show you any markers, its not surprising many new players die from a surprise attack. One way i mitigate this is by opening the cockpit, that way i can hear planes just like if i were in third person

[@Xihnic]

The spitfires at 6km while still being turn fighting gods

[@addam6666]

Pro tip: Try new planes. There are very few planes you actually meet in battles compared to how many planes there are in the game and sometimes those rare planes can be very surprising to your enemies. For example the Ki-32, an aircraft that you never played, can outturn I-15 with ease. It’s a monoplane bomber that can dogfight biplanes and nobody talks about it

[@sjhunfs6890]

climbing in top tier is the equivalent of screaming: PLEASE LAUNCH 20 MISSILES AT ME!!!

[@user-cv1pj2vv1u]

Situational awareness is how those brawlers dive into the cloud of low flying aircraft in the center of the map and manage to come out of the game with more kills than anyone else. Just being aware of the planes locations, whos got tunnel vision chasing another plane, where you are when the next wave of planes is incoming and slipping into the back so they target someone else, etc. Sure it's suicidal at the end of the day, not wise for newbies, but not everyone is pulling a plane they want to have to climb for 5 minutes every time they want to get 1 kill either. XP And sometimes a head on is the best option. If some flimsey wooden japanese plane is charging me with it's lil 2 20mm and 2 7.62's or even worse armament, and I know I've lost all my energy and there no out running or out turning him why not lay into him with my say, 4 20mm or 20's and 30's? I'm pretty good at playing air chicken, you just have to judge/balance your situation and practice.

[@GamesRFun2Play]

Every plane has a takeoff booster, the default key is i so when taking off just press i and you will be in the sky so much faster

[@gibsoncook3609]

I have another tip, for new players. When you’re shooting dont hold down you machine gun shots, 1. It chews through ammo, ams 2. YOUR GUNS WILL JAM, also focus on where you’re shooting at them don’t just shoot as soon as you get your curser close to the plane

[@TheSystematicPsycho]

This is a major problem for new players! And it's something you tend to not have problems with once you get the crew points and figure out bursting.

[@chickenmade2game921]

Another tip: Match your opponet, dont go too fast or too slow in relation, you can either lose your target or become the target

[@tomwoggle9411]

Nope, this is actually really, REALLY BAD advice! Instead if you're 'too fast' and overshoot the opponent, just go vertical, gain altitude, and then come around for another attack diving on the opponent again at your convenience. If you slow down and match the opponents speed, then they may just outturn you or they will drag you into an ever slower and slower and ever lower and lower turn fight, keeping you busy 'wasting your time' and even worse, making you an extremely easy target and victim to their teammates. If you are much faster than the opponent, then they will barely ever get a chance to fire at you before you're out of their gun's effective range. Also if you have a great speed advantage it's better to try not to attack directly from straight behind, but much rather from an angle above or below, it will be much easier to hit the opponent at those angles than from directly behind. The greater the speed (and/or altitude) advantage over your opponent the better!!!

[@Ww2-catalog_1]

One pro tip I learned from watching world war II dog fights for prop make sure you kind of moving like a serpentine pattern crossing scissors or whatever waste your momentum making your opponent overshoot you so you're behind them then it's just an easy kill from there

[@audible_]

i didnt really learn much in the time i played but a use ful tip is take a break once in awhile dont do what i do and play for a long while and get really annoyed half way through and just do worse the more you play

[@chrisroemer1129]

There is a "C" option with Head-Ons: flip your plane upside down before you and the enemy plane intersect travel lines in 3d space. I've had about a 60% success rate doing this.

I have a really nasty strat for avoiding head-ons that works like 90% of the time if you have a little energy. Maybe I'll make a video 🤔

[@user-vs4hl1jj8f]

check for missles, remember extreme overload will rip your wings so in things like the a4h be carefull of turning too fast

[@flak8842]

Here is a pro tips that I managed to collect In top tier jets always take the Flank especially if the jet that you are flying doesn't have the Best Flight Perfomance 2.for US 50 cal MG's always fire at a close range around 0.7 or 0.8 3.back to jets with missiles always be patient when firing it if the target maneuver or is flaring go for a gunshot 4. Don't Hold the Trigger always fire in burst 5.if your aircraft is damaged Don't hesitate to return for repairs 6. If you Can't boom and zoom an agile enemy aircraft then opt for a hit and run tactics which you climb and dive on an enemy and build separation and climb back up 7.when your enemy send a missile to your way always look if he is locking you using your RWR or not If you get a warning stay close to the ground and flare and chaff if not turn your after burner off while flaring and changing direction this works well with IRCCM missiles in top tier

[@Anomaly26_]

As a vet. Even from back then I have never got into a lot of headons. I usually do them when I'm already damaged or wont make it back to base, just so I could get a kill before I eventually die

[@WydeFade]

Sometimes ill make it look like im going to break right. Pop flaps into combat and push down hard into the left. Second after. Flaps are up and im rolling out to hopefully get a better angle. Sometimes it works. Sometimes i bite off more than i can chew with turn fighters. Depends on the chase.

[@treanttrooper6349]

The amount of post world war 2 jets that DONT think they need alt is hilarious 😂

I think another good tip is that sometimes its best to slow down. Not too slow but slow enough to just not over shoot. Lets say im in a dog fight and im on someone's six, most players have their throttle at wep/100% and go for their pray. At some cases yeah sure You will kill but once you get to mid tier or higher 5.0+ id say people are decent players then and they will just evade. Just cut ur throttle if ur gaining speed too fast and take ur time. Remember its better to be on someones definite six than to overshoot and go around as that gives them more time to come back around.

[@dinolou5421]

1:40 im a kinda new main in bomber and i have started bringing as much weight as i can in bombs I rarely get killed anyways since i only die when getting ramed or getting sniped in the pilot but will try to adapt to better play ways

[@RafitaMOL]

Thx for helping the bad players now ill have real competition.

[@spartaninaction8008]

Number 4 i basically mastered head as he said take a bit of offensive and defensive shots and do evasive maneuvers to avoid getting hit man the enemy who always doesnt avoid me is always dead to me lmao

[@nova733]

pro tip: ask war thunder to add spinning intake fan on fighter jets

[@Rainewhispers05]

I have a tip but it doesn't always work out but fly low and fast and if a enemy is behind you you could get a kill with no ammo left

[@KZrrSIKO]

I always take head ons, especially in my F86A-5 like between 1.0-1.2mi i fire a 2 second burst, which usually results in me being 0.8mi away from the enemy. Then i pull out 9 times out of 10 the enemy is stupid as shit and continues to try head on but they just eat my shots like it free as shit.(F-86A-5 is a beast btw 100% recommend)

[@Graner-1807]

Tip: if you want to go attack ground units with small caliber MGs then shot above the target it wound be much easier to kill ngl

[@Trisseboy]

Whats the best tip for aiming in air rb? I cant seem to hit shots consistently

[@TheTISEOMan]

#5 is advice that is so vague that it circles back to bad advice. The simple descriptions of each country's aircraft are generalized and are for the most part accurate but a pure BnZ play style is next to impossible to achieve as you will eventually have an enemy aircraft latch onto you. Now, most likely you might have teammates nearby, but other circumstances, you might find yourself alone. This is important for american aircraft like the P-47D and P-38 who require this knowledge the most. With your superior straight line energy retention, abuse how well you keep speed in straight line maneuvers. Now you may ask "Isn't that just running away?" Yes. But that running away gives you advantages. Slight climb 5 to 10 degrees upwards. If your enemy tries to zoom climb in steps, do a shallow 'zoom' climb to compensate 13-16 degrees or so, and level out when he does so. Optimally you want to drag him to 6000 meters, but 3000-4000 meters is my "pushing it limit" 4000-5000 is my "I feel alright" 6000 meters and above is my "I feel utterly confident." Once you reach your desired altitude, gain safe separation, and turn back around and initiate the fight. Don't do a flat turn, do a high yo-yo so you can convert your turn back into energy. Your P-47 and P-38 have turbo chargers, so you keep your horsepower at some of the highest altitudes. This means that Spitfires and Bf-109s can't do shit to you, and thanks due to their loss of horsepower, and the thinner air making the stubbier winged aircraft struggle in turns, your big winged P-47 can easily do vertical maneuvers to utterly obliterate them. Don't be afraid to use that altitude to gather back speed, keep speed up as 300kmh to ensure good performance, but it's okay to cash in that energy and go below to make them stall or pull out of guns and put in a stall fight with your amazing landing flaps as long as you gain that speed back. Use flaps decisively. This means you're quickly shifting flaps to suit your needs. Basically, don't use landing flaps for every turn, and sometimes it might be better to not use flaps at all. "Are you saying get into a turning engagement with an enemy who has superior turn?" Yeah. But because of your speed and your ability to operate at high altitudes, you've now put yourself in a much better position. You can't run away permanently from the enemy as you are with the "eternally following you snail" conundrum, and it's very daunting to turn back around and face your foe, but you have the capability of dictating where you want to start your fight, a feat most aircraft don't have. P-51s I'm still trying to piece together how to use as they seem to have great energy retention, but their flaps suck.

[@TheSystematicPsycho]

Thank you for you comment and dude I have fairly recently got into the p51h and holy balls i cant even get that thing slow and if you energy manage well you can even compete with the jets. IMO all the p51s vary in playstyle.

[@TheTISEOMan]

@@TheSystematicPsycho P-51H is almost like a jet fighter with that has a prop engine. The plane shits horsepower and so it's just a perpetual motion machine where you can pull energy out of your ass. Historically if you looked at how 'super prop' design went forward, especially in terms of subsequent variations of aircraft-griffon spitfires for example-they get heavier. So far, to my recollection, the P-51H is actually the only super prop that got _lighter_ compared to it's earlier variants, but the P-51H is so radically different from the D series in construction that you basically need to consider it a different aircraft that looks mostly like a P-51.

[@littlegiggi9063]

you can check your breaking flap breaking speed in the warthunder wiki

[@cuddlefloofer]

f-84g's if you can take rockets and bombs youll rmove the fuel pods on end of the wings further reducing weight if you dump the payload ofc

[@aseortoalgoritmo7002]

The 9th tip was a reveletion for me
