Best Tips For AIR BATTLES In War Thunder!

[@thesnazzycomet]

What pro tips would you have for a new player?

Git gud

[@littlefire47]

Play arcade until mid rank 3 to learn aim and then try rb

[@Chezburgerz359]

@@thesnazzycomet just kidding. Like I said, learn how to lead your bullets

[@Vermodorus_2]

Learn how to play planes such as interceptors and turn fighters and energy fighters

Everyone will outclimb you. No matter what,

[@theEpikNexus]

Legend says he’s still climbing to this day

[@Iden_in_the_Rain]

Honestly I wish ARB had the same respawn mechanics as arcade. Flying for 4-5 minutes just to die in the first engagement doesn’t provide much enjoyment or learning opportunities.

[@TermIANator]

its literally the reason i dont play air. everything else about it is fun. but the 10 min intro, sometimes 15 at low tier, of flying to 3500 feet makes me want to teamkill just for some endorphins

[@joaquinlaurie6631]

Skill issue?

[@BogotaLineman]

​@@joaquinlaurie6631 For myself yeah definitely but the point is the time spent to amount learned ratio is poor. You were dogwater at some point too

[@Element0145]

Learn your aircraft . Each one has pros and cons

[@MrWillNeedham]

The key thing to learn here is that the battle starts long before the first shots are fired. Getting into a good position is the first few minutes of ground battles too. Driving a tank blindly towards the enemy for 5 minutes only to die the moment you see one is no different to doing the same thing in a plane. Respawning more quickly doesn't fix that.

[@stellarmadman]

I listened to all your advice and my win ratio went from 24% to 46%, ty

[@thesnazzycomet]

that was fast!

[@petersmythe6462]

"a head on is at best a 50% chance of survival" Head-on ramming, however...

[@Fortis_leader]

The reason I barely play Air is because theres always that one guy who space climbs, dives and pilot snipes me😭. Maybe I'll try it again sometime.

[@thesnazzycomet]

xD

[@jamesstevenson9056]

That's why I never bother trying to climb. I stay down low and attack enemies going after the ai attack aircraft

[@Aqualobo242]

If you can’t beat them join them

[@gabriel199714]

​@@jamesstevenson9056 That's an easy boom and zoom kill. If you stay at low altitudes you got no energy other than your current speed. Meaning you cannot manouver for long enough to give yourself a fighting chance

[@jamesstevenson9056]

@@gabriel199714 That may be, But I don't learn from my mistakes.

[@luthfihar3211]

one thing that is a basics that a lot of people aren't properly doing is utilizing the keyboard movement control, warthunder assisted movement is deceptively easy to enter into and play around but it also locks away a lot of capabilities that you will eventually found to limit your performance. stuff like the ability to look around while maneuvering, fine adjustment of your gun, tighter turns, and smooth maneuvers are all facilitated with the movement input of your keyboard.

[@barnykirashi]

This is all honestly incredible. What I want to add is on point 3. 4. and 5. It's to properly decide on your target altitude. I see a lot of players who either give up on an energy advantage, and hug deck to rush into the fight, and players who try to spaceclimb in a plane they should not. Not every plane is capable of just outclimbing the enemy Spit and Bf-109, so don't even try. all you will get out of that, is that you don't level out, you're at 250 km/h, and the Bf-109 is only around 1km above you, you are a literal free kill to them, and they will take that. The other argument is to just sideclimb, but the problem with side climbing is that it takes 3 years, so either your team is already mowed down like the lawn, or the enemy team is removed from the match. Just choose a suitable target altitude, at least 3 kilometers, where your plane can get up to, and enemies diving on you will have to throw away significant energy to catch you, you can dive down on enemies, in the early part of the game, significantly helping out the part of your team who remained low You don't need to be higher than literally every single enemy, you need to be reasonable.

[@Kanon76]

honestly i love your guide,since it's not just ,,duh just boom and zoom bro" but it is very in-depth. also about tip #8: the best thing is that you can use your plane's weakness to your advantage. the P-51 bleeds energy very fast in a turn,and it makes the flat scissors maneuver even more powerful in my opinion. keep up the great work,love your vids!

[@thesnazzycomet]

glad it was useful!

[@charlieharris2864]

you know one of the tricks that I've learnt over the years of playing air RB was to approach at high altitude over an enemy fighter and essentially cut my engine all the way down to 0% throttle, and essentially glide silently in and at the last moment throttle your engine all the way up and by the time they hear you or see you it's too late, and also it might be a good idea to keep the sun behind you.

[@thesnazzycomet]

good idea yeah

[@halostormx7827]

I do this with CAS, funniest tactic ive developed. DRUNKEN OWL has netted more kills than it should(using much lower br planes makes it funnier)

[@Minimeister317]

Reason I don't play much air is because in ground and naval, the enemy can either move x or y direction, but in air it's suddenly x,y,z and so on which proves insanely difficult to understand what to do in situations.

[@SamR-murca]

Sim battles is very underrated. I play fighters most of the time, and I bomb like 2 bases total, and I still get like 8.5k rp

[@Element0145]

Thank you for putting the conversion , I play with mph and miles insted . My longest shots that have landed a kill was at .86 of a mile . But trial by fire is the only way to learn . Get in take off and employ the tactics you pick up along the way . I have been playing ww2 flight sims since Jane’s sims in 1990s . Getting on this game in air rb was like going back in time but now I have tons of players to hunt and tons of planes to learn and fly

[@thesnazzycomet]

@@Element0145 I hope you enjoy your time !

[@davidponder1654]

I play a little differently. I ride the match for a bit, check scoreboard to see who on the enemy team is best, and then hunt to challenge them. I’ve gotten alot better at dogfighting

[@colddeadwitch]

I fly out and wait the same. Trying to take on way more than my 60 hours can handle but I'm learning planes alot faster.

[@psychicstorm8979]

Love TBOTW Music in the background

[@j_tha_panther]

Pro players acting like we can track a guy doing 4 maneuvers, while looking all around us, and plotting for the future all at the same time😂

[@geeronald]

If your plane has cannons AND and MGs, you can fire them separately. Use your MGs to damage the enemy until they're slow or you have a good shot, and finish them off with your cannons.

[@thesnazzycomet]

@@geeronald definitely this!

[@colddeadwitch]

With less than 60 hours, I head on, fire and dart out of the fray. A single hit makes me happy 😂

[@Lyraine1]

Interesting how checking the player's profile can be either helpful or unhelpful. Despite having like 2000 hours and being a very good pilot I don't like checking player profiles. Because when I see the player I'm against is really good it makes me nervous and less confident so I end up playing worse than I would If I just didn't do that. I have this in every game It's just my personality thing.

[@amoghjoshi6280]

But remember 60% of the time its the plane and not the pilot but you can make up for it in the 40

[@ivankrylov6270]

When shooting gun 20mm and smaller, use the army machinegun timing. Say "d*e f*cker d*e" to yourself and use that as that ti time your burst

[@kartikghawalkar2246]

When should I fire? At the d*e part or the f*cker?

[@logicmaster756]

Get gud (Improve target prioritisation as you might need to extend and be just a bit more patient before u can come back and get your kills as surviving is more important as it means more kills and more rp and sl for playtime as bonus😁) Oh u said that then attack bombers from below or front angles at the front kill the ai if you can its not a bad thing Please use ias for climbing it helps with props P.s why are you using miles and kilometres I cant unsee that even though I have seen it before
