I Tested EVERY Starter Pack in the War Thunder Store and this is what happened...

Actual Tank Commander tries out every War Thunder Starter Pack on Sale to see which one is actually worth buying. Are any of them good? And are War Thunder starter packs actually useful for grinding? Let's find out!

Correction: The reason you high level people like to play low tier is to seal club, if this game had actual SBMM, you would be rioting because you wouldnt be able to make nice thumbnails with 15 kills, atleast be honest, you claim you're a tank commander yet you have this level of dishonesty?

[@PanzerPaw]

The honesty is in the video lmao. So mad for nothing. Touch grass.

[@Mr.Dusk09]

pin of shame

[@RinTeyai67]

Now yeah, when I first started it was kinda annoying. But after progressing through a few tech trees, I started to understand. Then unlocking the M1 AIM, that was it for me. The lower tiers just are more fun (a bit) less sweaty. But not for the "lmao these guys are inexperienced and easy to kill" reasons, I just like the WW2 tanks better. This is at least for tanks ATM, as I haven't passed 6.3 in any air trees. Now I'm no level 100, but I completely understand. Sure, I have an Abrams, but I'll play my M41 or ARL-44 any day over those tanks. Now sure other high tier stuff might be cool, but I think 8.0-9.0 will be my limit for now. (I really freaking want an AMX-30) Now sure, there are people who do it for seal clubbing, which is kinda bad of course. But this video is more of an informational video about these tanks, and even people play a game to enjoy something, and I myself prefer the earlier tanks to the MBT gameplay. Edit: Based PanzerPaw with the pin of shame 👍

I think that the t-126 having the same gun as all the early Russian stuff is actually a boon because it lets you get used to looking for weak spots in all matches, especially at 3.0, or snail forbidding, 4.0

[@EvenlyDay]

The German starter pack is the most bang for your buck. SPAAs with 20mm higher ammo in low br are effective mobile tank destroyers. The 1000 stuka bomb is practically a tactical nuke. Out of all starter packs I bought, the German starter pack gave me the most happiness and importantly FUN. Pair the vehicles with sd kfz 6/2 and sd kfz 222 as Tank Destroyers, your enemies will hate you with passion.

[@y.m.9277]

50:20 They call air because when there is any enemy plane that are actually in the sky, it will be called by azimuth and height in that air alert message, so your teammates are just using the radio to do scouting.

[@GPDAMATO]

The italian re2001 is called the Falco, and it is best used as a turn fighter once you start using combat flaps. Imagine a slower spitfire with 50 cals that are a bit harder to aim. To optimize guns on the Falco, you want the tracer belt for the 7.7mms, and the air target belt for the 12.7mms. The 30 cals and the 50 cals have similar ballistics so the 30s as tracers help show you were to aim.

[@JanHenk-k1b]

The French rank 1 tanks arent all bad. First of all, those 1.0 tanks that are above the reserve tanks? Yeah, those have been made unobtainable until rank 2, so chances are new players wont even play them. (They were actually the old reserve vehicles) Second of all, the other French tanks arent bad either. The S.35 (had multiple 7 kill games with this one) and H.39 are practicaly immune to light autocannons. The D2 is a solid tank too and the AMC.35 and AMD.35 are good flankers. The only ones I dont really enjoy are the tank destroyers, although I haven't played them all that much. The only real downside is solid shot, but since its low tier and you get 47mm guns on the AMC.35, S.35 and D2 its not that bad. Its not a ¨horrendous grind¨ you just have to get good and play around a bit with the tanks. Here´s a good line-up for 1.3: S.35 (your best bet) - H.39 - AMC.35 - D2 - AMD.35 (like I said I haven't really played rank 1 TD´s so u can swap out AMD.35 with one of those if you want to)

[@PanzerPaw]

Yeah I remember playing when it was worse. But what you're describing proves my point. "Getting good" is something done with experience. So for new players, they'll get slow tanks with poor firepower. Ultimately, it'll be a frustrating experience and they're better off learning in an easier tree and trying France after.

[@JanHenk-k1b]

@@PanzerPaw Yeah, I never said that France is the number 1 starting nation, because it isnt. I definitely agree with your point. My point was that these tanks arent bad as you make them out to be. Also, Im not sure where you are seeing ¨poor firepower¨, aside from the old reserves. The rest of the guns in the rank can easily pen other tanks without issue.

[@charakiga]

​@@JanHenk-k1bI agree, the S 35 is basically a tiger at its tier, it definitely packs a good punch, dunno where the poor firepower part comes from. Really the only reason France isn't recommended is because of speed, it makes new players bored.

[@Ithappens2]

If I remember correctly they actually attached an instrument on the Stukas so that when they dived the air went through these instruments and made a scary sound as part of a psyop campaign to break the spirits of whoever they were dive bombing

[@peterjensen9468]

Coming from a genuine point of view as an Air RB main with some ground experience: I would disagree on the M3A3 and the Re. 2001 For the Chinese pack at least, I've always found the American 37mm to pack a lot of punch for being such a small shell. Its got great pen for the caliber as well as solid post pen damage for solid shot, especially for a 37mm. Adding the honestly great gun on top of a very fast chassis and its a fantastic flanker tank. As for the Re. 2001, sure you have a good turn rate and hard hitting Italian .50 cals. But from playing it as well as other Re. 2000 series planes, in my experience, they just feel too underpowered with underperforming engines and heavy airframes.
