[@vargata]

"a burst also matters", no, it doesnt, its just press mouse button game checks what you look at, it calculated where will it hit and thats it, there is no skill, no aiming, no random its just your mouse and the games calculations. and i just picked one from your post because your IQ is clearly not enough to go more complex so we have to go step by step

being beaten :D by who? you? i see you are just a superiority complex kiddo :D you didnt beat anybody... and again, your burst is calculated by the game, you can only show it a general direction with your mouse, all other "aiming" is done by the game. is it nice warm keeping your head in your arse? :D

So is it acceptable to noob wobble at treetop level when ur in a crippled American bf109 f4 being chased by other bf 109s that just came out of a dive ?

[@MagzGTV]

If you have no other options available to you then sure, just be aware that it will slow you down meaning that those 109's are going to catch you even faster and as you will be slower you are going to have even less energy to work with when they arrive.

[@MagzGTV]

low tier attackers have always been to go for me, aircraft like the A20G can generate a lot of lions while being quite fun to fly at there BR. Otherwise low to mid tier fighters, once you start playing rank 4 and above things get expensive but the overall lions earnings vs in game performance doesn't change much.

[@yerrrrrd]

On the lions note turn off auto repair if you can keep auto reload on but repair OFF!!

[@inouelenhatduy]

play the a6m5 you can made 50k with out prenium

[@jimmybond148]

tbh be it my luck but the noob wobble seems to act as psychological warfare, if you know how to sustain it, the enemy can seem to just get so pissed off they just fire as much as possible. Even good pilots get annoyed. It's a cheapo strat, but in my luck it has worked.

So I was the p51 in the last match. I stumbled across this channel about a month ago and just realized I got a personal lesson on what not to do. Learning a lot from your videos. Thanks MagzTV.

[@rafis117]

Could you do a step-by-step tutorial on setting up for a boom and zoom? And on recovering from a bad first pass? In American planes in particular, when I boom on a plane it feels like I'm either going too slow (and they shoot me down on the zoom) or I'm going too fast (and my controls stiffen and I can't get guns on). And since I usually dive to clear someone's six, there's always this urgent siren's call to just turn one more time and save the teammate. As a noob, I think there's a (potentially long) period where you know broadly what you're supposed to do but don't have the details in a playbook or your muscle memory.

[@skoshi_tempest]

I have the same problems with stiffening in my D13

[@cloroxbleach9222]

I find it extremely useful to know when you are going to have a bad pass, while Boom and Zoom is not all about diving, knowing when to disengage when you're having a bad pass can save at least a usable amount of altitude and potential energy. But this is only done by words, you have to develop something from this theory that I don't know if you're going to find it useful

[@Isegawa2001]

Ideal B&Z dive speed for props are between 550-650 KPH. If you're going against fighters, avoid diving from directly above. Ideally you want to dive from just behind them. If you miss the pass, start a good climb at at least 25°, preferably higher. Gain speed and altitude if the situation calls for it, and do it again. This is how I do it.

[@z3r0_35]

That intro was HILARIOUS. However, I should note that in Grivious' defense, Gaijin DID nerf the Ho-103 (the MGs his aircraft was armed with) HARD in the last major update. The API rounds in most of the belts became regular AP and the API-T rounds became just tracers. Note that this nerf is unhistorical and goes completely against MULTIPLE sources provided to Gaijin from both Japanese and American documents. Now, I do have some observations that I'd like to make note of: while a suboptimal choice to engage two on one, it does look like the Spitfire may have done so primarily to protect the P-47. His mistake was COMMITTING to the engagement afterwards instead of breaking off once his wingman was in the clear.

[@happalula]

did gaijiggles ever care about anything "unhistorical"? magical armour thats stronger than it is, HESH, APDS, Mk 103 on the Ho 229,.................. there is far too much to name, but its a fact they really care anymore

[@amazingstealth8235]

But I saw every single round there simply miss that P-47... He probably was losing his cool and his precision just flew out of the window while chasing that Thunderbolt

[@pkxpanz3r241]

i can honestly never play War Thunder RB or AB ever again, and havent in 2 years, which bums me out, it used be so fun but now theres no teamwork, if youre dogfighting with another player next thing you know half of your team is right on your 6 trying to steal the kill, and sometimes even shooting you down in the process or to get you out of the way.... so now i just stick to the almost barren wasteland of War Thunder SB and the more fun IL2 BOS/BOM/BOK. but god i miss War Thunder RB and how it used to be.

how much does this game cost?

[@hallofo8107]

It's free to play, no cash required ever. You CAN spend real money to speed up progression and buy special "premium" planes that are only available with real money. An example is the A7 Magz is flying for this video.

[@curtisdesu1980]

Its free as long as you don't want to spend money on premium aircraft

[@SWBF2-2005IsBestStfu]

this is why me, as a PS4 player, is crap at air AB and RB, because we can't look back at an aircraft and control our own at the same time (with out crashing that is) so you have to guess what they are going to do, or be a sitting duck while you try and find them with the touchy controls and then try and react, but your almost always dead by that point

[@FrontlineTrace]

out of all the tutorials this is absolutely the best one by far. Most Tuts will just play the game and talk about very basic aiming stuff. 4 minutes into this video and Ive already learned a lot from just a single engagement. Your freeze frames and explanations are extraordinary. Lots of tuts go so far off topic and never actually go over stuff they are showing.

[@sholtzi2593]

Important video Magz, these always help the community. If I were to add to the discussion, I’d say flying by the books is a great place to start, relying on boom/zoom or strict energy fighting can give you alot of useful habits, but I would suggest letting yourself open up as you get more experienced. I was only able to fly more aggressively with success after about 1000 hours of fighter combat. If you’re new to warthunder or haven’t hit your comfort zone in the air yet, my 3 biggest suggestions are 1, bind 2 buttons for up and down elevator that you can utilize while looking behind you (makes defensive flying so much easier) 2, warm your self up to taking really hard deflection angle shots, the more you can shoot from an angle above or below the enemy in a 3d space as opposed to having to get RIGHT behind them, the better. 3, get used to abusing your flaps in almost any fighter, they are extremely powerful as long as you remember to flair/pump them when you get near the rip speed for them.

[@pierreleonard9758]

This is such a refreshing change to being shown how to destroy other aircraft. Being shown so clearly the mistakes I make so often has reinforced the lessons I have tried to learn from watching other WT experts. Seems to me that you've shown things from a new angle. Looking forward to more of this, Magz. Thanks.

It's amazing how much better you play when you look into how these vehicles were used, whats their strengths and weaknesses and knowing the other vehicles strengths and weaknesses. I love studying journals of actual pilots of the vehicles and training materials. The advantage the actual pilots had with the real aircrafts would be immense due they had a lot of time to get to know their craft and the training they received with them along with the schooling on enemy planes.

[@Cardnim]

I have just started War Thunder and finding the learning curve very steep (and enjoyable!)

[@bluspectre2042]

[@velvetthunder96]

Just treat the Fw 190-s as they were American. Huge guns, huge speed, no turn. Treat the Bf 109 as something in between an American and a Spitfire. Moderate turn, moderate speed, good guns. Spitfire are moderate speed, good turn, low guns. Oh and early Tier 5 Germans (Me 262, He 162) are utter shit because the 30mm-s are so slow, you need to be inbetween 200-400 meters, but everyone's faster than you.

the biggest advantage the a7m has isn't even an advantage.its the size of the aircraft it's big its blocky when you look at an a7m you dont expect it to do a 13g and get on your ass instantly

[@gideonokun5538]

Size doesn't have much to do with how quickly a plane turns...

[@janflorovic5880]

4230kg loaded weight/ 30.86m2 wing area gives it very low wing loading of only 137kg/m2

[@gideonokun5538]

Exactly, size is not the same as mass! A good example could be the Tempest mk2 vs the Sea Fury FB11. The Sea Fury is small compared to the Tempest, but its mass is actually a tiny bit higher (just a tiny bit). One has to consider the combination of material, construction and size in order to get a rough idea of the mass an aircraft has. If you want know how good the sustained turn rate of an aircraft is, you should consider not only the wingloading, but also the powerloading. Turn rate at corner speed, however, is allways difficult to predict...

Things I hate about air battles: 1: if someone gets behind me I am fu/ked

[@427Arbok]

I believe I have made a number of these mistakes, albeit not consistently. Generally, I do try to BnZ properly, keeping an airspeed advantage, opening up distance, etc. However, I tend to have a lot of trouble setting-up good kills, and I've realized I really don't understand how to in a BnZ fighter. Most of my engagements follow a pattern of Approach->Pass->Miss->Disengage, which is not only frustrating, but I also don't really understand what I should be looking for to help turn those misses into kills. Even some of my "best" performances tend to result in me ending the game with no kills, either left behind by my team or outnumbered heavily by the enemy.

[@cammorgan8374]

I have found that the noob wobble is somewhat effective in AB, with many low-skill players around. Because of the enhanced flight models on the aircraft, the speed lost is not very critical and I have been able to minimize damage from someone I would not have been able to get away from normally, living long enough to even secure another kill or two in a giant furball. However, if playing RB, it makes sense to have more of a priority on surviving than getting as many kills as possible before jumping in your next aircraft like in AB.

Despite all these many many months I'm still at the intermediate stage of going from 'experienced newbie' and 'passingly good', while trying to cut down on my 'raging n00b' spikes. I did just want to play this for fun and not spend hundreds of hours learning the strengths and weakness of 600 planes in the game, but to rise above BR 3.7 and not uninstall through frustration this is precisely what you end up doing through experience, if not direct study.

In general the biggest mistake is that they settle for the situation the enemy is putting them into, instead of working to get things to work to your particular advantage. Example: Dont settle to a p 47 head on....lure him into it, but dodge, try to take things into a turning/dodging situation, make him loose altitude, and you will eat that p 47 like nothing. People complains about german p47 spam, but they do nothing to diminish their influence, they just follow the 47s game, and they die. You gotta work to your benefit, and not give in to the convinience of the enemy.

"Spitfire pilots seems to be used to being the most maneuverable thing in the sky" That is very true for me, and which is why I am always afraid when I get matched against Japanese, as I did started out in the Japanese line and know very well how easy it is to kill Spitfires.

Would be nice to see some kind of talk-through of World of Warplanes but I guess that game isn't worth any such attention yet. I love these sorts of videos of yours :)

Darren Loo >In before "hurr durr wowp iz inferior" Lol

[@MagzGTV]

I've actually been meaning to re-install that and take another peek at it. I should shortlist that video.

[@xXRaocnumDudeXx]

The examples you showed us were planes who did not perform well in vertical turns, but what about something like a BF 109 that has vertical turns as their strengths? What are some rookie mistakes that pilots do in those machines?

[@elmerson10]

More vids like this, where you mess with Griviues and pause to explain everything. Good video good sir

[@austinlyons1657]

Guy: goes after this guy him: that was his first mistake

[@paauggie]

fantastic video - incredibly helpful - thanks for posting :)

[@baltogaming2437]

The “Noob Wobble” if it’s spinning, is not stupid, it is strategic and lowers the chance of getting hit

[@KimerikKukka]

Thanks. This was intresting, entertaining & educational.

[@julopabene8736]

And as we can see, all of the mistakes stem from the same roots. In order to avoid them, you'd have to break off and get away. But that is boring. You've just engaged a target, maybe even scored a hit, you're having fun, so why stop having fun and breaking off? Comitting to a target is more fun than not and therefore people will try to finish their commitment, even if their plane was not designed to do that. Which is why American planes are usually either regarded as "bad" or "boring".

[@MagzGTV]

"so why stop having fun and breaking off?" - Because getting shot down by an aircraft that you had no chance of beating in a situation where it has all the advantages thanks to you handing them over is even less fun than breaking off, positioning yourself to your advantage and killing said aircraft. In the end we all want to win and find winning fun, there is no point in trying to push an engagement if it's only going to give you a swift trip back to the hanger.

[@laisy961]

I found the problem is those people's defination of "fun" involve constant Hollywood-style action, even if it put themselves in a bad position. I remember asking some players why they fly low altitude with 109s and 190s instead of climbing, their answers are basically "because it take forever to get in an engagement and its boring"

[@julopabene8736]

MagzTV I know that, you know that. But that requires you to use your head and not fly with the adrenaline. And a lot of players fly with the adrenaline, because they don't think about the battle, but just in maneuvers. There should be an incentive by the game to get people to use altitude for example, but you don't get any score for climbing to alitude, keeping the enemy from that altitude or getting into the fight after your entire team has been annihilated at low altitude.

[@MagzGTV]

Indeed, That's why I made this video. My hope is it will get the people that watch it to think about how they are flying and consider the situations they find themselves in rather than just reacting. Adrenaline has it's place of course but it must be refined with a little thinking.

[@gideonokun5538]

Getting kills and winning the game rewards the player with lots of RP and SL. I don't see any missing incentives... On the contrary, I've met plenty of scared Bf109 players spending lots of time climbing 3km above me, wait for me and/or my friends to kill all teammates, dive on me, point the nose back up as soon as I look in their general direction then stay 5km above me and lose the game because they feel so uncomfortable giving up altitude for just a few seconds. I don't feel like there should be insentives for them to add 5 more kilometer to their potential energy bank. I think it would help a lot more if people just got more comfortable with their aircraft and its abilities (and inabilities). :)

[@ddjay1363]

Good vid. As I am new to War Thunder (only started in mid December 2017) I'd like to see some more tutorial type vids, that'd be cool.

[@baltogaming2437]

By spinning if you were going straight, would go through your aircraft, thus bringing it down. If you roll then the bullets will zip right past your plane

[@usscp9554]

whow men you just yelled in my earphone in the first 3 or 5 secound on the start of the vid hahah

[@hdgehog6]

Magz... so you've been watching me fuck up.... LOL

[@johnwilliams2711]

Great vid as always Magz. More War Thunder please. :-)

[@LouisTheFlyVids]

i thought this was a rookie video... i didnt understand half the words in this video xD

[@DodgerRoger]

No mention of why you're flying a A7M1 over Bastogne in RB?

[@arizonarangerwithabigirono1959]

The intro earned you a sub😂

[@loganknowsnoneofyourbusine263]

The problem is the p51 because of the unfair systems would die if it ran anyway because you would easily be able to shoot him down
