![]() ![]() Use the right flaps for the occasion: Take-off and landing are pretty obvious, combat flaps (not on every plane) are covered in this post here.ĭon't use Stealth ammo straight away: Stealth ammo does what it says on the tin - it doesn't give away your position as easily by removing tracer rounds from your ammunition, meaning the enemy can't see the direction your shots are coming from. If they're further away, or closer to you, adjust accordingly, and you'll start seeing a lot more shots find their mark. When chasing an opponent, the red text under their name will tell you how far away they are, meaning that when the text reads 0.4km, placing your gun sights right on top of that reticle means your shots should be spot on. Before spawning in, you'll notice one of your settings reads something along the lines of "aiming distance", and this defaults to 400m. Use the aiming reticle properly: If you're a new player, chances are you'll be spending a lot of time in Arcade mode, which means you'll have access to the aiming reticle, and that guy can be your best friend if used properly. Having a BF 109's crew with 50 hard-earned points in gunner accuracy will get you nothing. Therefore, make sure you spend carefully - have specific slots for one man fighters, where you focus all the points on the pilot and ground crew, and set one aside for bombers where a larger portion of your points can be put into the gunner positions. Be careful! Points apply to the slot, and carry over between aircraft. A right click on the slot will allow you to bring up the "Crew" menu, where you can allocate points you earn in games. While I personally play the Japanese and British trees in a highly turn-fighting based form of combat, I do occasionally slip over to the German tree for a different experience.Īllocate your crew points: After a few matches, you'll notice that each vehicle slot will have a little white face over it. Try and turn-fight in something like a Beaufighter, then you'll be quickly out-turned and shot down.ĭon't be afraid to try something new: There's a lot of diversity in War Thunder, so even if you've got a strategy that's working, don't feel anxious about switching it up for a match or two. Go in for a head on shoot-off with a plane from the A6M series and you'll be shot down very quickly due to the fragile nature of the plane. Just because a bomber has a front facing armament like the B7A2 Ryusei, it doesn't mean it should be used as a fighter. Use the right strategy for the plane you're flying: Not all planes are the same, and certain ones are better suited to certain roles. If possible, test-fly as many planes as you can in single player games before taking them out onto the PvP battlefield for real. ![]() It's worth taking half an hour or so to run through the research trees, hovering your mouse over each plane and reading it's stats, such as top speed, turn time, and armament information. If you want to get in close to your opponent and out-maneuver him before getting a shot on his back(Turn-fighting), then the Japanese tree would be perfect. If you're after hit and run tactics (Boom & Zoom), then Germany would be your preferred tree. While all the biplanes are very similar in offensive capability and handling, the second you begin progressing up that tree, you'll easily spot the differences. Pick the right nation: It's important that you're playing a nation that suits your play style, and unfortunately, the game gives minimal information when choosing a country to play. If possible, try to watch a video with a plane similar to your preferred one, (see point 4) as strategies can vary quite significantly between models. Be careful with the plane specific tips though! (see point 4)Īdvance from tutorials: Just watching streamers playing the game for fun can give an insight on how to improve your game as you progress beyond what the tutorials can offer. In addition, the War Thunder team have released some tutorials in a series called Barrel Roll, which gives one or two more advanced tips, including some plane-specific ones. I personally haven't seen the ones mentioned in said comment, but there are plenty of streamers out there with plenty of content you can take advantage of. Watch other players: As mentioned in Neffer_23's comment, watching one or two YouTuber's tutorials on the game before going into a match can really help you out in the beginning. There is mounds of advice you can give, but based on my experiences, here are just a few more important tips I'd give for improving your early game in War Thunder: Now I've managed to find my place a bit more, and often end up finishing a match with a respectable score. When I first started playing, I too had quite a difficult time picking up the game's nuances, and could often go through several games without picking up a single kill.
