War Thunder: Rookie Mistakes

War Thunder: Rookie Mistakes
Today we take a look at three fights taken from just two battles showing common mistakes made by pilots flying all nations at all BR's.
The goal is to demonstrate where the mistakes took place, how they could have been prevented and finally how pilots who find themselves in such situations can get out of them.
Note: Not all engagements are the same, these are common examples but there are always difference, the idea here is to make viewers think about there own engagements, where they could improve and if they should have begun to begin with.
Also don't rag on these pilots, common mistakes are common and at some point you have made these mistakes as well, I know I have.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

its because you dont pay. the same shots never hit for you and will never hit for you no matter what while your pilots will always get onehitted. this is a rigged bullshitgame

"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

[@Literaltile]

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.

[@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.

[@edgyboi8767]

@@eVill420 I was dominating 3 guys who kept going after me when they respawned and my team noticed I was doing pretty good so then the start using me as bait and every time was close to shooting a plane down in that match my kill would get stolen

Special thanks to Griviues for the intro :P

[@angeloc1340]

MagzTV I did not know Japan’s planes where good in vertical turn I told a spit to not do that because when I was dogfighting him he was doing good every time he did that

[@piercem.5143]

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

[@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.

[@brewersbaseball31]

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.

[@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

[@Daki400]

I always love it when the enemy (often playing USA) goes "Japanese are OP" "Japanese tank multi-gun bullshit" "Japanese planes are too powerful" *Japanese Team mind:* "I never thought I would ever use the hull gun" "Stupid American turnfighting a Zero" "We'll just push them down from space to feed the Zeroes" *looks up* "Oh shit! A spitfire! We're doomed!"

[@mosesracal6758]

As a japanese player, one thing I am scared of is a spitfire diving from literally outer space.

[@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.

[@nolunchiseverfree]

Finally some War Thunder air again :)

[@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.

[@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.

[@hallofo8107]

Awesome breakdown of those engagement Magz, thank you for taking the time to explain everything is such detail.

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.

[@gediminaskregzde]

Comunity needs videos like this one. Nice job, keep on.

[@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.

[@dekoldrick]

Basically, it's best to know when to disengage and run away from a fight.

[@justgrayyy105]

[@stijn4771]

Could you do more of these kind of tactical analysis vids?

[@domosrage5434]

I do the noob wobble, but try to keep it as random as possible, and even move towards the tracers knowing the pilot behind me will be adjusting his fire causing him to miss again. I usually die in situations like that, but it does keep me alive like 5x longer than if I wasn't wobbling. I WILL try to wobble less, though.

[@brownstone43]

[@Rell2601]

Chazz Summer Don’t get discouraged, friend! It’s just a habit you build over time. When you’ve flown a lot of different aircraft, you get an idea of what flight characteristics each one has.

[@chrislong4549]

Pretty much always comes down to knowing you and your enemies plane use your planes strengths against your enemies weaknesses

[@PlutoProtogen]

i love my p-38k, i find almost nothing can touch it while climbing, or at high energy, i can dive on my target, attack and quickly break away..its nice being able to control engagements, sadly nobody knows how to really fight them too well, another thing...that p-51 pilot just...failed horribly...i take my p-51 and engage all kinds of things but i use its high speed ability to my advantage..also the p-51d is seriously nerfed in warthunder..

Jack Deveney so true, console controls are way more limited than pc, it’s still fun to skrew around and get frags with your friends, even if you can’t do many fancy maneuvers

[@BleedingUranium]

That's not quite true, we have the target tracking view, so as long as you're locked on to the player you're dogfighting, you can keep your camera on them while maintaining full control of the plane.

[@bluspectre2042]

I've learned that if you don't know how to fly a particular plane, try starting off using Boom and Zoom. Sure, it's not the best and, with some aircraft, even suicidal. But it definitely helps me get a handle for said new plane.

[@peoplesoft2784]

This is something I've learned as I mostly fly British. As a spitfire, I'm very good at a strictly turn fight, but I'm bad at vertical loops. I still find myself loosing to Japanese and Russian turn fighters though.

[@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?

[@rezapratama8609]

yes yeees, the shinden! the sexy 4x 30 mm!

[@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.

[@KeybladeMaster9913]

Am I the only one who heard The Joker when that laugh in the intro happened? I also find it funny how griviues' nose art matched his rage. I also have a bit of a question Magz. I absolutely love War Thunder, been playing since CBT, but I haven't really gotten any better and it's kinda ruining the fun factor. I play all the Nations, but mainly the US, have a slightly above average knowledge of aerodynamics, and love tanks. Any tips for a fellow, but underskilled, member of the "Old Guard"?

One of my beautiful loop I did was a near sea crash, I almost tutch the water. No one was expecting me to survive at this very dungerous loop. I run away and survived. Beautiful game I'll say

Talk in bout 4.3's and 4.7's meanwhile I'm chilling with my highest plane being a 1.7 lol. (Just started war thunder like a week ago, not even. And since i work I havent been playing a lot in that week just trying to learn stuff about the game

[@azairencerobinson7600]

Jesse Snyder btw never commit to tailing spitfires or any aircraft for that matter in the bf 109 it’s a boom and zoom not maneuverable in its later or early versions the first e might be the best grinder in my opinion

[@jimmy_stath1656]

@@azairencerobinson7600 i thought the fw 190's were the boom and zoomers? i'm only up to 2.3 German planes so i don't really know.

[@azairencerobinson7600]

Jimmy_Stath1 they both are it’s just that honestly the 190 gets out preformed in dogfights the later versions of the 190 are interceptors and such so there good for climbing but not dogfighting I’m guessing I haven’t got them but the 109s like the trop is not to good for turn fighting with low speeds but climbs like a god

[@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.

I typically go in for ground targets with the Hellcat MkII. Is it good to strafe them at low altitude constantly?

Ha! Ha! Welcome back to the inimitable world of the entertaining WT community, Mr M!! Good vid, by the way.

The intro earned you a sub😂

[@swayingGrass]

Can you do video about mistakes of fighters that would turn better that would put them on disadvantage even when starting from an equal position or even from advantage? Other than that, I second rafis117's request

[@hadenmontgomery5888]

have you though of taking out some of the Italian aircraft.and i know your cutting down on the vids (Quality over quantity is best ) i was more just wandering then asking.

[@spiritfoxmy6370]

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 :)

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

Before this video there was a commercial about knocking on stuff and one was a fridge, and I was like who fucking knocks on a fridge?

[@wmpriest123]

was looking through how to vids on warthunder - good video btw, learned a lot from it just a tiny detail up until 3:50 (mm:ss) you were referring to the german as a "109" (the Me) but when I froze it I saw it was in fact the Fw-190 (also german but a whole different manufacturer and aircraft) Me109 is liquid cooled much like the mustang the FW190 is air cooled they both also differ in flight characteristics and firepower sorry I'm a bit of a history buff but once again - very good tips and tricks video

[@kujob6442]

Werner Marais Werner Marais No dumbass, sry not sry, that Focke Wulf was an entirely different aircraft during the battle, he wasn’t talking about it. The messerschmitt was behind Magz and over extended. That’s why he said that the German plane was out turned. Next time listen, okay?

[@wmpriest123]

@@kujob6442 no need to be an asshole. I was being polite. But trust me I've got plenty of time to put a troll like you in your place. If you're up for it let's go sonny. So "Next time" mind your fuckin manners "okay"? See? Doesn't feel good when someone else does that to you eh?

one thing that gets me it's how hard it is in cockpit cam to shoot someone down. I mean some of them biplanes at least the Japanese ones have a tiny hole in which to see an enemy plane through. bullocks

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

[@lordonad]

The only way to learn is to play more, and learn from mistakes. I've done many of those mistakes myself. But I don't know anything about planes or flying, but the more I play the more I know the advantages and disadvantages of the aircraft.
