DON'T play like a YOUTUBER!

The way I play War Thunder in most of my videos is WRONG! Today, I correct that by playing a FULL comprehensive lineup of US Tanks and Planes to show you how to play War Thunder Properly!
No more depending on one vehicle to get the job done. Today I set out to win matches by using every tool in the box!
The WW2 vehicles I'll be using are the M18 Hellcat, M36 Jackson, M4A3 76 W Easy 8, M4A3E2 Jumbo (Cobra King), M19A1 and for planes the P-47M, AM-1 Mauler and the P-59A!
This is a perfect combination of vehicles to deal with pretty much any threat that's thrown at us and is the lineup I've been using to grind the Summer Quest event!

One thing I'd like to see you explore with the line-ups is doing just a 5 vehicle line-up, as that is the max number of crews you can purchase without using GE. Would be a good example for the free-to-play or just straight up el-cheapo (like myself) users.

[@chaoslink1158]

Similar to your How to CAS video, I think it might be neat to see you do a How to SPAA video. Mostly showing the basics of not firing at targets 4km out and getting out of the spawn. Possibly make it a How to Anti-CAS including tips on good fighters or how to prioritize targets. There's a lot of players out there that hate CAS in ground RB and it might be interesting to see something useful that helps players learn to manage it better. Both in lower BR and high tier play.

[@rangehottv7254]

How to AA: Spawn a damn fighter. SPAAs are just at a massive disadvantage to planes at WW2 BRs, especially if there is more than one plane up.

[@Drakey_Fenix]

Hmm, I believe I have seen you somewhere lol

[@enterchannelname8981]

Absolutely. I used ot be very frustrated that CAS never went how I expected, and it's less frustrating now that i've seen odd's video. SPAA is also pretty frustrating, even though I enjoy it, so I would love a guide.

[@jonathanallen3688]

@@rangehottv7254 this. It's unfortunate really but look at US naval ships during the Pacific campaign they generally had a hundred or more AA guns in flotillas of half a dozen ships and still got hit by kamikazes and air strikes yet we're supposed to kill 5 planes in 10 secs with one SPAA with no flak and the plane holding all the advantage.

[@aickavon]

Here's the strategy. Hope the enemy plane player is stupid and Gaijin will buff SPAA's. Typically finding cover *IF the map even gives you air cover* is the best way to play, but some airplane players at around 4.0-6.0 will never draw close enough for you to get a bead and will manevour out of any shots you give them so just kinda... yeet rounds at them and pray. OR you can be a true SPAA player and just focus on killing tanks. It's much more satisfying and rewarding.

[@HeadlessZombie1991]

I wish players at higher tiers would use lineups. Makes some nations unplayable around 9.0-10.7. Your entire team just dies once and leaves the game making it impossible to win.

[@cman9456]

Odd, great concept on the new video showing the "what situation to take out what type of vehicle" analysis and showing full lineups.

[@LordJackass]

Yes!! More of this please!! I would love more of this active gameplay commentary style with an actual lineup within a BR, it helps massively with learning to think like a tanker. I very much appreciate this content as a new player still trying to make it in 5.0. Your tank specific challenge style is fun and it helps me understand stengths and weaknesses to the showcased tank, but I still very much struggle with positioning and spotting people before it’s too late from a distance. This is an excellent potential remedy to help that. Someone here suggested a series where you cover every BR with every country, not only would that content last you a long time, but you could find plenty of examples of utilizing different concepts like how to use your Binocs effectively to what makes a position or piece pf cover effective; Also which concepts each country can take advantage of. It’ll teach new people HOW to think for themselves rather than a cookie cutter tutorial. Also wanted to edit this to mention you could point out what positions you wanna fight over on specific maps, such as tricky maps like Hurtagain forest or the ass end of fields of whoremandy. You could even implement a Tobii Eye tracker. When I get employed again, you’ve got another discord/patreon supporter. Whichever one nets you the most money. You’re appreciated Odd, god bless you.

Fun fact: the reason the M18 is built differently as a light tank is because it’s not a light tank. It’s a fast response tank destroyer. Using the speed and mobility the M18 brought a big gun quickly across battlefields to counter enemy armor advances.

Wow! A full lineup is so entertaining. It's like you have multiple tools available and can contribute to the team in a way that makes winning more likely. I bet your rewards were great too because of it. 5 crew slots are the max with f2p so it would probably help players the most if you limit lineups like that.

[@lazzzlooo]

To me this is far more entertaining than the ones featuring one vehicle. I can actually see how you employ different strategies in order to win the game, rather than just surviving long enough in order to get some sneaky kills. Btw my favorite lineup is the US 5.3 (without the hellcat and using the previous sherman 76) as i don't own that UFO of a jet that can carry any game. This way not only do i avoid the 6.7 vehicles which can be quite bad for the jumbo, but for some reason most games are just 5.3 ones against German tech tree players, for which i don't have to give a description 😆.

[@bugbeam8852]

as a matter of a fact, it can be better to play with only one vehicle in your lineup and maybe one cas plane, because in some tech trees there are some br barriers with big armour and gun differences. like 5.7 Sweden for example. it has the strv 74. that is really the only good vehicle there, and you can bring in something like the j21a3 for cas since for f2p players that aren't experienced they can lose in many tanks in a lineup and then have a massive repair bill. but if you only bring 1 or 2 things, it can train you to be better at the game since you have less opportunities for profit. it is also great for focusing research with that extra 10% for something before it.
