I still dont understan why the block vertical aim is useful, the gun simply moves way to much when stopping and then you have to wait even more for it to reach your aim???
dislikes dont make it so maps are seen less often, it does nothing but tell the devs what maps arnt liked, this is easily seen by the point that a lot of people get their dislikes maps as often as their liked maps
I did that so long ago that I forgot I did it because there was absolutely no noticeable difference... And yet I still stay with the Snail Lords for some unknown reason...

Great vid. I think that "Block vertical aiming..." is a potential game changer for me. Has been so frustrating and didn't know there was anything that could be done about it.
@@Skyrim279 Stops the overcorrectiono of the gun aiming while moving. He demonstrated it perfectly in the video. Imagine you are driving and you see an enemy and notice a dip in front of you. You can learn to time your shot even while your tanks moves up and down vertically. If you add in the game trying to adjust itself, it's just another variable that you have to try and account for; and like he said, when you stop moving up and down from the dip, your gun can be in a bad position (pointed up) to take the first shot.
@the option at ~ 7:45 i do highly recommand for tryhard new players. if you get killed by a enemy player and feel like he is cheating. go to the replay and watch him go. this way you will see what lead up to him killing you. and pretty much every time it will not have to do with cheating at all.
@@ichdu6132 You do know that some people dont a NASA Supercomputer lying around to play War thunder. And turning of grass can actually really increase the FPS for these people. I used to play on a garbage laptop and had like 25 fps with grass and 30 without the grass.
@@ichdu6132 I understand the sentiment, if war thunder were a game just released today, they would definitely do that. However, since the game is quite old doing something that stops players that could run the game at low (they definitely exist) but really can't handle the grass. Personally I find grass popping in and out of view when aiming down sight a bit too jarring, so I turned down the grass completely. Sure looks like shit, but I rather have it look consistent. Knowing it is optional, ideally the grass would have to be very low, so it doesn't block your view, sadly they made it quite high giving a clear advantage to disabling it.
You forgot squadron markers. Not only for squadrons, but so you can see your marker on both maps to guess distance / or how far you can see into a zone
guys dont enable the block vertical aiming if you're in a non stablized but fast gun elevation tank such as high speed sp aa or armored car. your braking takes super long and the gun doesn't aim even it could
I'm honestly surprised you didn't mention the "view from gunner sight - off" setting but at the same time I, as 3500 h war thunder veteran, had no idea about that "block vertical guidance while braking" being a thing.
As a new player only just cracked rank 3... one thing that really helped me was assigning a button to lock the turret so you can be cruising or sneaking easily checking flank or rear... or keep ya turret in certain position to jump out for a peak..a..boo kill. Starting out I was getting smashed so much from having the gun pointing the wrong way
Brooo that block vertical aiming while braking is a freaking game changer I didn't knew about it I remember a loooot of situations where i miss my shoots in critical moments because i needed to stabilize my gun after braking Thanks bro you got a sub
OH MY GOD. All these years and I didn't know about "Block vertical aiming while braking". If i had known about this it would have saved me hundreds of rage inducing moments. Thank you!
@@fosty.😂 you shouldn't tell other people what to do or how to feel either yet here we are..........side note, I had no clue on the vertical aim setting either.
I think a good setting you could have added is the set target for squad, which lets you set markers when you spot enemy tanks. I wish more people knew about that. Controls > Common > Set target for squad
That tip at 5:00 about turning off grass was huge. This grass doesn't have a hitbox so it won't detonate my HEAT shells, so why have it there obstructing view? I can also tell you I've definitely died to an opponent shooting me out in the open, hidden by tall grass.
Problem with blocking vertical aiming while braking is that it also completely blocks vertical aiming while turning which can fk up a lot. Also if if have good aim and capable of firing during this "swing" when turret goes up from down after breaking then it is actually faster to shoot without it. And finally it can also fk up with firing on the move. Only useful if u really struggle with aim, otherwise better to learn to play without it
@@jamestriplett5854 tried it and no when your turret is fast it doesnt help much because you shoot before compensating xD (pro tip dont wait your enemy kill you) much useful on low depression tank like russians i would say, 0° depression is perfect with it

would be great to see you make a video or videos going over all your control schemes for tanks and aircraft, as I've been reaching higher tiers I've been struggling to figure out a setup that works for me
This can be difficult because many gaming PC's peripherals aren't standard like a console can be. I sometimes use a gamepad instead of the keyboard, depending if I'm flying vs using ground vehicles, plus my mouse has 9 configurable buttons I preset for whatever tier I'm playing/squad commands. This I found personally helps my gaming. So, I must imagine that a content creator MAY have to make some substitutions too, not having the basic peripherals.
My controls make no sense to anyone but me, haha. I'm convinced that if I shared them, I'd probably be laughed out of the community, while simultaneously hurting other peoples' playstyles.
So im a fairly new player and this video was a great help. If it's possible, could you do a special button mapping video for consoles? Low tier im ok but higher tiers with more tech gets tricky when assigning buttons. Just wondering if there's any good controller mapping for ground, air and naval
Just a little tip, most people think that you can't turn off the Mach cloud. However, you can do this by turning on Old Video card support, then just turning only your textures back up to high. Boom, no mach cloud

You should make a video on the avalability on all the tanks that arent avalable. We regular players cant acces or own marketplace or event vehicles. Its way too hard to win any tanks and the marketplace tanks are way too expensive. everything should be avalable trough golden eagles.
Every time I watch one of your videos the audio just cuts out in intervals. I checked multiple times and it only happens with your vids exclusively. I'm so confused
@tankenstein can you do a video covering your own personal Key binds? (top tier Air has so much going on its hard to find good key binds for different features)
Great informative content, even though i play on PS5, I've used a few of those (some dont exist on console) to hopefgully help me play better..... (nice pun about July 4th btw) 👍👌✌🤘🖖🤙👏
Someone knows how i can make use of my binoculars or normal zooming without the tank maingun rolling where im looking at? Its really frustrating when trying to maintain a hidden position and the canon isnt in place to fire.
I wouldn't be able to learn how to properly configure my keyboard without the help of an expert, that for example told me to set rangefinder, or how to better set up planes. Now I would need to learn how to use the the marketplace... if I want to still play it.
Kinda don't like the 'hide grass' option, since it's just a setting that gives you a pretty massive advantage over people who don't know it's a feature. And makes it kinda annoying to peek over hills since it's easy to forget that the grass isn't obscuring your tank at all.

You forgot to set download content only in hanger off. Without that you won't be able to see marketplace skins that other have.
