fun fact: if you like getting death treats bring the italin 2.3 stuka with the centauro

Bring any dedicated fighter and get death treats from your teammates and enemy cas players

[@zacmatthews9600]

I@veryorignalname4804 I agree but I am aiming fir the tanks when I'm in ny plane (onv unless defending against other planes)

[@overlordfenix64]

Nice and useful video, extra tip: In the controls option you can find "Switch secondary weapons" if you assign something there, you can change the order for ordnance, meaning you can choose between them, for example, you found something light but don't want to use your 1000Kg bombs, you can switch for 500/250kg and get him, depending on your situation. I hope it is understandable, I'm doing my best!

[@skDoger]

That's actually quite useful, thanks!

Thanks it helped me a lot

I have a tip about rockets:if your airplane can't have HEAT rockets don't worry.If you have HE rockets and you can't aim for the roof of a tank (for some reason) you can try aim the rockets under the tank because their underside usually don't have a lot of armor.If i didn't explain this tip corectly you can correct me:))

[@skDoger]

Good tip!

[@dan_war_thunder]

Update:I think is easier to fire rockets if your plane is slower

This is a very, very good video. (I struggled a bit with the rapid delivery but, with the help of subtitles and the pause button, I got there in the end.) Thank you very much, it is very helpful.

[@55swordninja]

You need to bring this back/keep going! So many new players NEED someone like you to help guide them!!

[@skDoger]

Definitely, I have a bunch more planned

[@55swordninja]

@skDoger good cause it helped me alot when I first started. I came back to this quite a few times. Actually I come to your videos to this day for help and just flat out learn new things about the game. So thank you!

[@temps923]

Thanks this is gonna help a lot Also could you make a video on which cas planes to use in which nation that would help a bunch

[@skDoger]

Could be an interesting video, thanks

[@capt.sumtingwong3613]

I just had that specific smile when I heard him say "ground pound".

[@barnykirashi]

Thank you, this is very useful. But since I 90% of the time play with Planes, I can't use it to full potential. But I'd love to learn how 2 Ground RB so I can use Attackers more effectively, and to have more variety of play. So I'm looking forward for more Bootcamp series, and hope for a more explanation from the other side, Plane players who try to set their feet to Ground RB. Wishing you the best, and see you in your next video!

[@dabbyduck517]

Honestly thank you so much. I managed to get my first kill with rockets after watching this

[@stude0623]

man you have been more helpfull than any other video i ever watch... thanks a lot

[@whiteboa8]

This is a really great video, I see your keeping your promise of imrpoving the channel.

[@sethhart478]

Thanks for this. I prefer low tier and use planes a lot more than tanks and Im crap at using rockets and doing bombing runs. This has helped tremendously. My advice for anyone in my position currently is to use your preferred fighter and be anti-cas for a bit until the skies are clear and then become recon by marking any enemies that your allies might not see

[@t72b3mreal]

Yay, finally a new skDoger vid, I’ve been waiting

Some plane use cannon that penetrate high armor, Maybe USEFUL for close air SUPPORT but it's harder to hit Planes if it times perfectly in realistic battle

Thanks for the bomb tips im bad at bombing with CAS but im good with high altitude bombers because you have a marker for where your bomb will hit also can you please give me any plane grinding tips because playing arcade or realistic plane battles is so boring.

Tiny Tim rockets are really good, just aim near someone and they die :)

[@holden3083]

👍. One thing I have noticed with cas players. They focus on ground targets first not planes. Common sense. Not so common in fact becoming rare.

[@THEallo119]

Yo that home depot music tho.

[@allenbates3470]

I play in feet and mph. And I’m confused on the rocket reticle

[@skDoger]

Each line on the reticle indicates roughly 650 feet, so the first would be 650, then 1300, and so on

[@ArcFire_Fox]

This is incredibly useful !!!! Any chance you have a video for a Top tier CAS tutorial ? Im really struggling with jets at the highest BR. thanks for your work ^^

Was that the Home Depot theme in the beginning?-

[@ElwoodPDowd-nz2si]

I am terrible at cas. I bought the French P-40 and the German P-47 within the first few days of starting to play War Thunder. I have only been playing 3 weeks as of this post. My biggest question is spotting tanks on the ground. People in videos seem to see enemies so easily. I don't see them until I'm so low to the ground I can't do anything about it.

[@skDoger]

You just gotta fly around and keep your eyes open. Stay at medium altitude and look for a dark couple of pixels, or something that's moving. Your teammates will also ping enemy locations on the map, keep a lookout for that too.

[@ElwoodPDowd-nz2si]

@@skDoger Ironically, I just got my first ground target kill today. By flying in low over the tree tops.

[@skDoger]

@@ElwoodPDowd-nz2si Nice lol

[@gilanorodrigues7049]

What about Frontline bommers and long range brommers

[@skDoger]

Long range bombers aren't really suited for CAS, frontline bombers can perform decent enough though. Just don't fly in aimlessly, keep your altitude up, and bomb stationary targets

[@gilanorodrigues7049]

@@skDoger thank you

[@enekyo1245]

theres a thing that's really confusing for me which is should I go for heavy bombers or like dive bombers and after i put out all my bombs what do i do? Should i go back to airfield or eject and spawn in tank? plus what are the seperate bindings for cannon and machine guns? It just says edit axis now unless u mean the large caliber gun setting thingy

[@skDoger]

-Dive bombers -Land and rearm, then bomb again (unless there are too many friendly planes up) -In the controls, look for "small-calibre guns" and "large-calibre guns"

Maybe it's cause of instructor iv kissed the ground with my do334-b2 so much lol Tho I don't think il hunt planes unless its a bomber, or I can get on its tail before they go after me... do 335 is anything but a fighter lol... enemy fighters easily out maneuver it if there good, otherwise il try to play energy retention as it is hard to stall compared to others but also east to turn vertical at the top of a loop if I slow down correctly allowing me to swing around and get sights faster, pulled this maneuver earlier and had succes... tho had to run to base do to a jamm... its quick enough to run but not a maneuverable thing
