War Thunder Tutorial: How to Get More Kills

[@jengar6258]

Hey guys, its finally ready, took me quite a bit of time putting this together, and it's been weeks since i started on it. Today then its finally time to look at what i think are the main 6 things you'll need to develop to become a competent pilot. There's a lot of subjects to cover, and i hope i wont overload you too much with info ;) work on one or two things at a time and you'll make progress no doubt. Hope this will help to get you guys more kills in war Thunder ;) If you enjoyed the video, do like, comment and subscribe. It makes a big difference! :)

[@vincentjiadi3221]

Jengar very nice vids, really usefull for pleb like me lol

[@jengar6258]

Energy management is important, i agree, but i feel that situational awareness and Positioning are King to any other skill. If you have this mastered you will almost always be in the right position, and from that position you can attack, and also recover from many of the mistakes in energy management you might make. For me Situational awareness and positioning are the foundation on which to build everything else. Decision making comes as a close third. After that its fluent. but these 3 catagories are 60-70% of your success as a pilot.

[@jengar6258]

3-4 kills per match on avarage is very high, because for every one kill match you need a 6 kill match to balance that out. you might be one of the best players in WT with that avarage.I still stand by my opinion ;)

[@jengar6258]

you can also check your avarage kills per match and k/d ratio on thunderskill. my frags per match sits at 2.1 per match, and my kd ratio sits at 3.6, with a 59% win ratio, giving me a 75.9 score for rb. i've checked all the major youtubers at some point, orange doom has 2.8 per match, kd ratio also 2.8, with a 53 % win rate, which also gives him 75.9. you cant find magz as he doesnt fly with his own name. but others like mikegoesboom, napalmratte and others like that can be found on there. no one has above 2.8 per match on avarage.so like i said 3-4 frags per match is very high. better then any youtubber i think ;)

[@jengar6258]

lifespan also is an interesting stat ;)

i recommend this video, fantastic. im working on my camera. looks, its true its backwards when looking behind. i keep 600m convergence with 800 on arcade, 3 years in the game, and struggled every step of the way. trial and error..... i remember going into realistic totally different, got killed every match for weeks at a time.. very 1st time i and a team mate went in a realistic game. we literally got laughed at. its usually the only thing i fly now, anyway. watch these videos and it will. help you. thanks jengar for all you do. im still learning now its jets, im gettinf better tho. see you folks in the game. im willieo60.

[@marecoolshit]

[@nuclear_slimebot]

Markos what would you suggest? :3

[@maggi98mw]

Slimedude 29 universal belt :)

[@nuclear_slimebot]

Markus Wiedner I think tracers are deadlier than Universal, but, Meh, it works too. :P

[@Jukkaimaru]

I find it noticeably easier to actually *hit* things with Universal, personally. XD Ironically all the flashy stuff from the tracer belt really distracts me and messes up my aim. D:

[@InitiateDee]

Whoa whoa wait, you actually get kills in RB? What the fu-

[@jengar6258]

hehe ;)

[@gabork5055]

RB is not particularly hard. You just have to get to know your plane a lot more than AB requires you to. I still prefer AB in general, because of the little annoying things, like spotting exploits with orders, wing rips and excessive overheating in certain planes, bad teams, etc.. But other than that, it's the same thing.

[@InitiateDee]

@@gabork5055 I don't even play arcade actually, I play only RB for 1000 hours+ now, it's just the thing I suck and get little kills

[@gabork5055]

@@InitiateDee Idk., when i play RB, i usually either sideclimb or just try to climb above my team, which usually gives some opportunities for kills when they are engaged in low altitudes or by the ones impatient enough to dive on the first targets. This doesn't always work ofc., sometimes your teams will just die in the first few minutes, sometimes you're outclimbed by someone who went afk. for half an hour. It's usually easier with a plane that excels in one thing, or several aspects; Thunderbolts, Bf-s (from the F4), Cobras, Mustangs and maybe the late Spitfire models might be better for getting kills. I sometimes fly too defensively to play it safe, try to get the enemy into a disadvantegous position and bnz and that might be something you might not want to do if your aim is a higher killcount, so you might need to rethink the role you want to give your aircraft and how that fits your playstyle. Like Jengar suggested, knowing your plane and knowing the enemies plane matters a lot and probably most at the point you decide to engage and it's always a good starting point while figuring out how to approach the situation. When i have some interest in a plane, after i spade it i look up its flight characteristics in the wiki, watch guides about it, etc., which gives a general idea about how it should be used, after that it's just a matter of experience. Some planes got a designation, sometimes even the wrong one and that doesn't always mean they have to be used that way. (or other vehicles for that matter; looking at the swedish bombers, the ZSU, some self propelled ATGM-s, etc..)

[@silo_fx3182]

Wonderful video! Excellent content. Another hint about situational awareness is use the mini map! Other than 'all the time' I look when attacking at about 1.5km, just before hitting where you are not able to look around with the mouse. Mini map is really handy with clouds too as enemy can pop out and the mini map gives them away first.

[@jengar6258]

Ty mate :) Agreed on the mini map, i forgot to mention it, i worked with bulletpoints for this one and talked mostly from memory.

[@korgeth]

I went back a few days ago and watched a replay I had uploaded to youtube of me flying the 190a4 and I almost got dizzy watching, because I was looking around so much. I wondered what was missing after my long break from War Thunder, I knew I had some trouble aiming, but I am positive the other part was not looking around near as much as I used to. The other stuff seemed to come back to me very quickly.

[@jengar6258]

yeah, that could definitely be a huge part of it ;)

[@zujiahuang8454]

That is the video I was waiting for ! Thanks, Jangar ! But I have a question: how do you lock the mouse camera (default as letter C) ? Its quiet impossible to pilot with WASD keys plus C pressed. As workaround I've changed my camera mouse activation to space bar :). By the way the video is marked as Dutch language, so are the captions. English is more comfortable when reading instead of hearing (on subway, at lunch time, etc.)

[@jengar6258]

hmm, i'll have to look ito that dutch thingy ;) activate the camera with c, take over and control it with the mouse.

[@koloblicin]

what helped me ALOT with looking around and flying while looking around was swtiching "c" over to "spacebar", because then you can look around and also use your "d" key and be able to use your aileron to fly to the right.

[@jengar6258]

its a coice, i left it at c, because in dogfights you let go of the c key quickly anyway and control the camera with your mouse.

Hey Jengar, I just got the FW-190-D9 and I think it's going to take a very long while to spade this plane. Being that you've to be very disciplined with B&Z with this plane, and being that it's stock, I'm foreseeing a painful spading process. I'm thinking that the engine mods would need to be done first because this plane does NOT climb well stock. Do you have any general tips regarding dealing with stock syndrome and quickly spading? What about taking the plane into RB? I've read that the best place to spade a stock vehicle is in AB, but I noticed that the rewards in RB tend to be higher. What are your thoughts on this? I could always just buy some premium time, but I'm trying to wait until October for the sales. Last year, I bought a year's worth of premium. I suppose I could do that again, but I'm wondering if there's other ways that are as effective as buying premium time.

[@jengar6258]

nothing is as effective as buying premium time. ab and rb are pretty close, it really depends on wether you're much better in one mode then the other. Performance is more important in rb though, in ab its less critical, so i've always prefered to spade in ab ;)

[@unixfool]

OK then. I just bought a week of premium, just enough to where I should be able to at least get the engine mods. Thanks for the tips.

Hey Jengar, my problem with the game is not getting kills, but getting stuck in sticky situations that usually lead to my demise. For example, I can't get rid of somebody on my tail or another plane shoots me down while I dive towards another target. I think my problem is the camera but it's really difficult for me to both move the camera and control the plane with the keyboard at the same time.

[@jengar6258]

I know thats difficult, you'll perform worst then usual first before it gets better, but once you do lean you'll make your way over the barrier which saperates the good pilots from the excellent pilots. And i take it thats the step you want to make, you have to persist with practicing it a lot.

[@BentHestad]

Thanks Jengar for excellent video with many good advice! Inspired me to challenge both my patience and skill by playing just RB for a while. With mixed success so far. For sure RB is much more of an team game than AB, and level of some squads are indeed very, very high, not easy being loner on generally diving team:-) . Though sometimes they are not at so clever and everybody dive early, also on opponent team, and even beginner can rack up some kills. For sure being a conservative player ("5-0 is good") in AB for 3 years helps. A little wish: can you have a new, RB look at the premium Yak 9 M , which i find absolutely excellent at BR 3.0. Of course with some weakness in diving and ability to take damage, but it is nimble and climbs like rocket! Maybe even a video with your favourite from the hangars, your favourite RB plane for each BR step?? My best advise myself? "enemy on friendly tail is allways the best target, so search for slightly exposed teammates"" and for the teamplay; "two divng after an enemy is (more) than enough" :-)

[@jengar6258]

Cheers mate, glad i could inspire you to this endeavour :) should be fun! the yak9m is on the list, but will take a while, i've got a lot of stuff to do before then ;)

[@keshet2002]

I have a different way of getting a ton of kills- playing arcade! :D I kinda struggle at RB because it feels like I can barly control my aircraft. However in AB, I feel more free and I get about atleast 5+ kills at average. Many of u might say I suck, but u need to realize that arcade and realistic are way different and that you're good at RB won't make you a pro at AB.

[@jengar6258]

Ab and RB are indeed similar, but still different. Both take skill to master!

Great tutorial Jengar! You cover all the important parts that most pilots often tend to forget. In the 4 years that i've played War Thunder i've really noticed myself improving a lot, leading up to the point where I would classify myself as a "skilled pilot" often scoring multiple kills per match. This is the reason why I adore playing War Thunder so much. It takes skill to shoot down other planes and it takes time to develop that skill, hence the reason why it is so satisfying to do so. As always, cheers and keep up the good work! I know you spent a lot of time on this one ;)

Nope, activate camera with c and take over the camera with the mouse. Then fly with the keyboard. You need to practice this in testflight. takes a while before you get it.

[@justinsane332]

@@jengar6258 I find when I just use the keys my plane doesn't turn as tight, like when I push my mouse to the edge of the screen and use keys, which just ends up getting me shot down...is there anyway to make a video showing us your control setup and key usage while still showing the match? I have seen a video or two like that, where the keys are shown on the screen, but not sure if it is something you can do. I know you probably don't have the time, but I think a video like that, with the in depth explanations given here for tactics would be so much help to us newbs. Regardless, thanks for the tips, I enjoy your content and reviews. You and long5hot are my go to's for plane reviews.

[@timm1589]

Around 7:20 u shot down green fury haha

[@jengar6258]

yeah ;) only time i met him.

[@bradleygarlak8283]

When I hold C I still don’t have free control of my plane. It still just wants to go where I was aiming before I hold the C key

[@jengar6258]

Hey bradley, fly the plane with the keyboard, you can then move the camera freely without using the C key.

[@TheRaptorXX]

So THAT'S how it's done?? No WONDER I keep getting fucking shot down. Now I go away and practice these words and then, next year, I shall start to make videos!! Nice one mate, great stuff and all in one packet as well. Good stuff!!

[@jengar6258]

A quick, ahem, overview of all the things i know are required to become a very compentent pilot. Was a lot of work putting this together ;)

[@TheRaptorXX]

Ha! Ha! Nice one. I KNOW how much work goes into compiling videos and respect to you and all others who take time out to publish (and all the pre - publish shenanigans that it entails). If you haven't tried it then it is easy to be ignorant of the process (and I mean that in the nicest possible way) but to make something that is both tangible AND enjoyable could be described, quite appropriately, as a 'dark art', sometimes stretching way into the early hours... Like I say, fair play!!

[@jengar6258]

Cheers mate ;)

[@cornflaketj1560]

Thank you. I’ve been really struggling in RB since I played arcade everyday. I think I’m a ok dog fighter but my aim is 🤢🤮

[@jengar6258]

np mate, keep at it!

[@renatamendesvianna4518]

Excelent, Jengar !

[@jengar6258]

Thank you very much Renata, glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@pedror598]

want more kills with 50 cals? Don't use stealth belts, they aren't doing damage anymore

[@jengar6258]

i'd have to check that, havnt used a lot of stealh on the 50 cals lately.

[@mar61182]

Thanks Jengar great video !!!

[@jengar6258]

Cheers mate :)

[@mr.gunzaku437]

I play on a PS4, and the issue I have is not being able to free roam to see where the different enemies are. I have to maneuver around with the camera just to be able to see the other targets and it throws me way off my game. And my Crews are very low level.

[@andrewmckenna00]

What convergence do you prefer

[@johnorkutcopero8656]

I have a lot to learn And i want to learn because i love this game

[@lokiwiseyt8608]

Hey jengar how would you find what your k/d ratio is

[@jengar6258]

profile>service record

[@ps3ud0nym]

PS4 at disadvantage without keyboard and mouse?

[@Litterbugtaylor]

A lot of my issues with war thunder is that my plane can never do what the enemies does, say a p47 vs a captured one and I'd still get outclimbed and dived on, climb with japenese planes, nope americas already above you waiting to boom and zoom somehow or planes that aren't manoeuvrable in the slightest like the il2 could simply out turn me. Or the best joke I've heard in a while getting outclimed in a spitfire.

[@jengar6258]

that may be due to you as a pilot, work on your skills one by one and you will improve and get rid of this feeling!

[@Litterbugtaylor]

Jengar there's very little information about climbing faster and the strategies i devise for myself get me kiled, out of the battle long enough for my team to be killed or my team genuinely doing stupid stuff like sitting on a runway before we've captured it with enemy planes inbound and expecting a helldiver to fight off a zero swarm.

[@withinsyn7482]

How are you flying and moving your mouse at the same time

[@jengar6258]

fly with the keyboard, look around with the mouse!

[@marcofrancioni1155]

My main issue is that I fly with joystick and my camera can't do a full 360 but 180 each side and that's multiply the looking around difficulty making looking around such difficult

[@vamp9190]

Great stuff as always. Hey I got booted from the squadron for inactivity again (it's only been like a week though, WT should allow for longer away times...unless it's cumulative and just playing one game doesn't help), so sent in a application request. Thanks.

[@jengar6258]

It's not war thunder that removes you, its me and the officers ;) when activity runs to 0 and there is no absence report left on discord in the report absence chat channel ppl will be removed. We have ppl waiting to get in ;)

[@vamp9190]

Oh I did not realize that about the Discord report.

[@jengar6258]

:)

[@jengar6258]

hey mate, you were accepted by me 4 days ago, but today one of the officers made an error and removed you again, plz reapply and i will get you back in! :)

[@vamp9190]

OK will do, I'll send it when I get home this afternoon US EDT, thanks. Also how long before tickets go to zero? I usually play 2-3 times week depending on how busy stuff is. Plus I'll remember about the Discord absence report.

[@yes1603]

[@randomgamerlol47]
