love these videos, so satisfying

Ive watched HOURS of WT footage. These are the first vids that made me consider downloading it. This is how I would want to play it.

[@elfpirate4049]

good luck being able to in a reasonable amount of time

[@loner1512]

I have to say, this is not how the developer wants us to play, it is just a trick based on game mechanic

[@Smojo10]

​@@elfpirate4049 you can either grind out the BMP3 or pay 120 bucks to get the BMD4

[@audeobellicus]

I just wish there were more vehicles capable of this

[@Morfik45]

that poor =IJCN=灰之屑魔女伊蕾娜 that got destroyed 3 times in a row just by you from another spawn xD

[@jamesrules7081]

You need to get 3 friends with rapid firing artillery guns like 3 Type 75s or AuF1s and just have them line up next to you while you give them ranges and targets

[@po-prostapoziomica5559]

Do people notice you in games for your playstyle?

[@0thPAg]

I'm wondering about hacking accusations.

[@loner1512]

Just a few people, they thought I am an AFK player

[@cannonfodder4376]

Some good shooting as always.

[@Mohenjo_Daro_]

Ok, I really want to see you take someone out with the Ro-Go (1.3 premium) and do this. Not sure how well it'd do at top tier, but with 100 HEAT rounds and a 4second reload, it could be fun

[@darthhydralisk]

The guys getting killed I'm sure are so confused. That KPZ was confused as he w as not sure who was shooting him. I wonder how many people say you are a hacker.

[@rokasb9441]

Yep, they never see it comin :D

[@Lilililincy]

Ukraine Simulator😂

[@Franeq09]

Hey mate i think you made my come back to WT. I suppose BMD4 and BMP3 are best options, or are there some at lower BR with UAV? When not, which is better, BMP or BMD?

[@黄辰旭]

why the direct hit on the IKV can't kill it? it's only 20 mm armor on every-angle.

[@valzzzz5610]

can you do that with any type of tanks who have drone ?

[@jimmyjim4489]

Make wondering how do u know that distance for shoot?

[@finbarmurphy8466]

What makes that tank good for being able to do this with the drone? Is it that very few vehicles get drones? Or is it that that tank’s gun and ammo suits long range shooting??

[@theseukonnen1200]

he's using the BMP-3. Its main gun is a low velocity gun with an HE payload, so its high-arc trajectory and area of effect make it well suited for indirect fire. Another tank this is commonly done with uses an automatic 30mm grenade launcher.

[@finbarmurphy8466]

@@theseukonnen1200 thanks!

[@Mohenjo_Daro_]

Yeah, basically any tank with a slow shell velocity and drone can do this. The problem is there aren't that many in the game. Faster shell = flatter arc = not very good at shooting over hills. I'd go with sub 750-ish m/s shells is probably about as fast as you want for this

[@diegosilva58220]

Hey bro love your videos. Do you know which round is better 3OF32 or 3OF70 for artillery? I assume generally the 3OF70 since it packs more punch and its higher velocity so reaches faster and also u wont have to scroll down in the scope ranges so much but at the same time the 3OF32 having less velocity can make your shots more arched landing more roof shots and because of the same reason is more viable at short distances so I dont know which one is better really.

[@loner1512]

3OF32 for small maps, I use it regularly

[@diegosilva58220]

@@loner1512 I see, thank you. I started being the artillery😅 yesterday and managed to get a few satisying kills per match and I had lots of fun. You discovered a new game inside War Thunder for me. Thanks again, love your vids.

[@LugborG]

Do you have a list of vehicles that can do this, or is it really just the one you're using here?

[@Takachi60]

BMP 3 bmd 4 zbd04A

[@Ergreifer]

It is really only possible with higher br light tanks that have a low velocity HE shell and a laser rangefinder

[@AGENTtoaster-eg4ju]

And sheridan

yo loner i was watching your vids and i was wondering how to do the same i do not have the bmp 4 but im about to get the bmp-3 but im watching all these vids and i still do not know i was wondering if you can teach me

@@loner1512 thanks but one more question how do you put the mark on the tank?

[@magiofthoth]

Loner, I can only play mobile, any tips for doing this on mobile? They just came out with a vidar package, and I'm tempted to drop 50 to get the beast Sweden squad (vidar, 103a, *that one fast truck with 2 rocket launchers lol😂), and an aa that I don't mind 😅

[@loner1512]

I don't play mobile yet, I really don't know if it works

[@nekomataayumi1762]

Don't work on mobile, VERY small maps

[@DoppelBro]

so what are the tanks that can do this besides the russian ones?

[@kg7162]

Any véhicule with low shell velocity

[@tanksrfun191]

How do you figure out the range

[@swordsman1_messer]

The map literally has a range scale you can use to get a rough distance. Then, combined with the drone to provide bearing, and some trained instinct, you can get within fragmentation radius. Just becomes adjusting range and dealing with dispersion and shell travel time from there.

[@Mohenjo_Daro_]

Using the caps for distance is also really useful. You can also memorize some ranges if you play on a map often since players love going to the same spots

[@lanzoLano-wm4vo]

Hey bro can you give me some tips and tricks? I am struggling so badly at 5.7 Ground Realistic Battles, I am Using the M4A3 (76) W, but every enemy I get to see Is literally all Tigers.

[@ariezajulianrara2878]

Best way i found with dealing german ground forces would be ambushes and be defensive, german mains tends to be quite agressive and counting on their armor way too much, going solo and offside. My experiences comes from being patient and let them make the mistakes. Duels you can win but really its a game of who shots accurately first, good luck!

[@lanzoLano-wm4vo]

@@ariezajulianrara2878 Thanks for your advice, I'll use it.

[@swordsman1_messer]

Read the map and understand that a good flank is much better than the perfect weakspot hit. You’ll have to deal with German players who also understand this, of course, but this one tip alone is what separates most competent War Thunder players from the rest.

[@lanzoLano-wm4vo]

I actually got 3.5 Average kills now, thanks for the tips! (Including swordsman)

[@Mohenjo_Daro_]

Knowing where the flanks are is important as is knowing when to push and when to wait. And what makes a good flank is knowing where the enemies usually go on a map, and getting to the side of that area when possible Moving after killing enemies is also important. Players love getting revenge XD (Looking at the score board to see if someone you killed is respawning or leaving is also a good idea)

[@leandrogoethals6599]

why always with that vehicle?

[@Morfik45]

i think its the only vehicle that has drone AND slow projectile, other vehicles have faster projectile, and it doesn't rly allow for such arc of fire, unless you aiming for the helipad camp

[@loner1512]

you can do the same with BMP-3, ZBD04A, but this is my fav vehicle

it doesn't have drone and the shell has too high velocity

[@sneaky]

@@loner1512 Whats your upper velocity limit for a shell? Trying to see if I can use a USA or JAPAN vehicle for this but obviously none of them are kitted like the BMP.
