    tip for ground, specifically ground rb. just be confident when you play. if you just keep your eyes peeled and listen closely you can push behind enemy lines before zones even start being capped. don't be nervous and sit behind teammates and walls and you will do much much better.

    • @mikebauer6917

      Added bonus is flank snipers and planes aren’t looking for you behind their lines… unless you start ripping up the place.

    • @whyismynametaken123
      @whyismynametaken123 2 роки тому +12

      I'll add to this. You can do this with lower BR tanks that are speedy and get into positions that allow you to get side shots on the enemy. The 2.7 Puma is notorious for doing this several BRs above it's own.

      Can confirm. I used T-55AM at RB as a baseline. I kept behind friendly lines, occasional kill, supporting capping teammates, and tanking shots. I did below 5 in leaderboard ranking. When I did go out at around 9.7 and normal 8.3 matchmaking, I absolutely dominated. and it isnt because its a premium or with power pack, I've been fighting 9.7 tanks and constant 9.0 uptiers, so armor isnt arguable.

    another tip for ground, check your corners and keep checking your corners even if youve checked them already, its good to keep good situational awareness, and if you dont see friendlies in an area on the map, assume there are enemies in that area and to be cautious, and dont rely on your team as they can disappear in an instant or be as dumb as rocks

    • @mikebauer6917
      @mikebauer6917 2 роки тому +10

      Agree.
      Please people, watch the mini map. Sometimes you were too busy to check I understand. But when you do check for a lack of vehicles from your teams in areas that you’d expect them. This is a sure sign that there is an enemy (assume enemies) lurking in or around that area killing your team. Drop some artillery around there if you can to revel them. Otherwise approach with caution or avoid that area.

    On Number 9, I am somewhat surprised you didn't bring up using a backup, after a while you seem to have no end to them (if used sparingly or for special circumstances, for example, making it to where you have 2 XM-1's instead of 1). For me, when I use (Universal) backups like that, it really helps out.

    • @Tankenstein

    A tip for what to do with warbonds: buy the bush crate everytime, then spare up to buy backup's! they're amazing to have an abundance of, for example to grind out the first mods of an unlocked vehicle (use them after you get your repairkit and firecontrol unit tho). If you have a lot of backups already, spend your warbonds on the booster crate :) Don't buy any vehicles, stickers,... from the warbond shop, they're mainly sh*t anyway.

    • @novkorova2774
      @novkorova2774 2 роки тому +9

      I mean the vehicles aren’t a bad deal if you can buy them in a tree you haven’t touched yet. Right now the amx-13-m24 is available for the french and it’s 3.7. If I had the shop level I would buy it just so I have a decent premium above any french stuff I currently have.

    The best tip I can provide is to ALWAYS have an eye glued to your minimap. Especially for AB. Too many times I’ve seen especially in AB people unaware of flanking enemies forcing me to deal with the flankers, me getting killed, or otherwise getting surrounded and overrun

      I know about the mini map tip, even before I watched any videos. Really helps when you can't see them physically and they try to flank you. I can turn around and surprise them, like I was waiting for them the whole time. It's honestly funny.

  • @mikebauer6917
    @mikebauer6917 2 роки тому +17

    As for bushes, note you can exclude certain camos and put on different bushes or none say for urban maps (rather than sync/link all as the same). That way, you have bush free or desert bushes that you can select on a map.

      I always look at the zone locations and see what areas overlook them. Most of the non-city maps have those overlooks, plus most zone locations have hills and dips that will allow you to get into the zones, or at least most of the way. If you've got them, use smoke shells to cover your approach too, they're especially useful in lower BR where there's not low light or night vision electronics. Just note that smoke shells are a big flag showing there's someone who can see that location the shell landed in.

      The best ambush is made where the enemy doesn't think it will occur. Just turn off the engine and make an ambush in a normal place. Or flank. If now he designates a good place where to ambush, everyone will emulate and those places will be known and lose the surprise effect

    For the angling tip, if you have a tank like the AMX M4, don't angle because those corner plates essentially becomes flat when you angle towards an enemy

  • @janovmi2
    @janovmi2 2 роки тому +5

    here are some of my tips + down below some additions to yours
    1) learn what objects you can shoot thru, you can kill ppl by shooting thru building and other rubble that may seem as shootable tru will block your shells
    2) dont use machineguns if you dont have reason to, you are making yourself EZ to spot, stay hidden and try not to move because even after firing the enemy may not see you if you dont move ( or quickly go back into hiding, your choice)
    3) learn weakspots of tanks, i mean it, why is everyone shooting KV and early IS tanks into the turret hoping it will damage the gun / guner when you can just onetap them with shot to the lower plate ? also use diferent ammo to explot weakspots, see DOOMturtle ? have HESH ? blast its copulas
    4) dont flame people in chat, it only makes them picking up a bomber more likely
    now to the video
    1) mainly applies to APCR and HEAT-FS, dont use APCR at all and dont use HEAT-FS if you have APDS (but take coupel cause russian IS-3, IS-4, IS-6, IS-7 and other bouncy garbage)
    if you are choosing betwen AP and APHE then go APHE, the couple of mm more penetration isn worth losing the APHE oneshot capability
    2) crank up engine sounds of other players and crank down sound of your own engine, helps too
    3) very tank dependant, some tanks can run FULL ammo load cause the ammo is stored all at the same palce or it is tank that dies in oneshot anyway, also depends on map, aka bigger sniper maps = take more ammo, when you have new tank load it full into test mode and shoot and observe how the ammoracks empty, you dont want ammo in turret or front but for some tanks thats the main palce where the amo is so it dosnt matter how many you pick, it wil lalways be there ... also take into account ready rack size and repelnishment time, on leopard 2 it takes like 40s to reload shell that is not in readyrack (above 21)
    4) sad face p2w sh*t
    7) tank dependant, some tanks get weaker by angling
    8) DONT, its so much RNG, you may shoot the gun but not damage it, if you see something that you cant deal with it, try to stay hiden and ambush OR flee OR flank
    9) if you are trying to maximize your research / time, dont bring more than 1 tank in battle and only respawn if you can get significant ammount of kills in order to be worth it, YES i leave after 1 death because thats teh best way to farm RP AND you will avoid the end of battle where either you camp enemy spawn which is boring and everyone will steal your kills or the other way you will be camped and killed imidietly after spawn ... so much joy to play this game at the end right ... dont blame me, i havent designed this game in such bad way

    • @drsmug7761
      @drsmug7761 Рік тому +3

      If you hold down the fire button while in binoculars, switching to sniper cam will fire the gun immediately. Just use the sniper cam button as your fire button and your binocs as the main scope. This is especially useful for tanks that have a greater binocular zoom than their sniper zoom, such as the Bandkanon.

      @@Tankenstein its a case by case basis. Angling on an IS-2 is suicide, because the ring around the upper side mantlets are barely 50mm thick. When face up front, an IS-2 can be difficult to kill, but if it shifts its hull ever so slightly the side mentlets open up to reveal a weakspot that is an instant crew knockout. Often, I find myself running to achieve an angle on IS-1s and 2s just to expose the side rings

  • @Vins9393
    @Vins9393 2 роки тому +4

    I would add a few other things i think can be extremely useful
    1. If you spot one enemy. DO NOT NECESSARILY try to go for the kill. If you can't pen that enemy, scout it or track it or disable its cannon. But don't try shots that won't pen cause it is a waste of time and will attract attention on your position.
    2. If you face several enemies. DO NOT GO NECESSARILY FOR THE KILL. Start by disabling one cannon and then focusing on the other enemy, maybe by shooting at its cannon too. You will have two enemies who can't shoot at you back and you will be able to get 2 easy kills or more.
    3. If you are with teammates. Check what they do. DO NOT STEAL THEIR KILLS NOR FOCUS NECESSARILY ON THE SAME ENEMY jusy to get the kill. If your ally disables one enemy cannon, don't kill that disabled tank. Focus on another treat because the disabled tank wi have to repair and is not a treat anymore. Coordinate with teammates, one shoots a part and one another, useless to shoot the same crew twice.
    4. When you are burning, DO NOT NECESSARILY stop to estinguish the fire ! Try to shoot at your enemy back, maybe trying to disable enemy's cannon ! He will need several seconds to repair and that will gove you time to estinguish fire and repair. Meanwhile you will shoot at him back.
    5. Do not stop in the middle of the street to repair. When you get damaged. Take cover first.
    6a. When you are on a plane in ground battles. DO NOT GO for easy kills ! Support your allies on the ground.
    6b. Air superiority is a must ! Do not forget one SPAA ! Taking down planes will save many points.
    7. As said before. Do not go necessarily go for the kill. Even one assist gives tons of points ! Check carefully which treat to destroy first.

    Hi Tankenstein
    Thank you so much for the mind blowing content.
    Wow!!...This is a great tips and tricks video that is making me think more deeply about why I struggle a bit with consistency in ground battles.
    I must admit that I definitely focus too much on the armour pen numbers of any given shell and have been a bit blind to all of the other factors involved in choosing "The right shell" for the vehicles I am using and going up against.
    I also would never have figured out to check your score often as an indicator of enemy vehicles nearby...genius!!.
    Turning your engine off in ambush situations...again...that would have taken me 10 years to make that connection on my own.
    Going to make a point to watch this video from time to time to remind myself of all these great tips in order to try assimilate them over time.
    Keep up the great work....War Thunder really benefits from and needs people like you to educate the masses.
    Keep up the great work....I think I enjoy watching your videos more than actually playing the game...I'm hooked...LOL!
    Keep up the amazing work.

    The bushes tip is true, if you are something like a T34 or any tank with small bit visible weak points a bush can make it practically impossible to one shot you from certain angles, like once i nonpened on a T34 cuz i couldn't pinpoint the Edge of it's turret and it cost me my teammate, it's pay to win and a little bit cancer but there's no other reason to handicap yourself

    @TomPrickVixen 2 роки тому +3

    A few extra tips:
    - The Tiger 1 always has ammo in its front left rack; try to hit that!
    - Prioritize when researching modules, sometimes a better ammo is more important than FPE!
    - Recommended to carry a few HE shells to deal with open vehicles.
    - Don't play the British unless u R masochist/can take a lot of suffering
    - U might want to check the BR u ended up in (looking what tanks your team has) and decide that want to spawn at all or not; aka your tank has any combat value on +1.0 BR, or not (B1 bis has non on 3.3)
    - Shooting barrels what makes players rege-quit after 1 death and might even report u for being unfair so... i won't encourage that!
    - French tanks has shit brakes. seriously!
    - Even smoke shell detonation can blow up a tank... somehow
    - Front driveing tanks can be penetrated trough the driveing-wheel, even from unlikely angles ... somehow!

  • @agravemisunderstanding9668
    @agravemisunderstanding9668 2 роки тому +1

    I would say know your tanks limits,
    If you can't pen it then don't shot it, if you can scout it or draw attention to it's position, shooting it will only place a temporary marker and most people won't go for it since they assume it's already dead

    • @Vins9393
      @Vins9393 2 роки тому

    Please be aware that bushes in excess can cause the loss of your dignity. Morehover if you always need to be covered in bushes to achieve something your skills won't progress so far, that applies too (and probably more) for "infamous strategys" like spawnkill or broken vehicles. You'll have to play good to be a good player

    • @mikebauer6917
      @mikebauer6917 2 роки тому

      I guess the loss of dignity part is about the look of too much bush (like on urban map)? I find the looks of the R3 T20, ERB and especially the T55E1 so laughable, and/or just hideous, that I flat out refuse to play them and have to restrain my urge to drop team-kill artillery on them when they are on my team. Like cockroaches they are…

  • @Ezra411st
    @Ezra411st 2 роки тому +3

    My guide to how much ammo I bring long reload (14-25 seconds) 10-15 rounds mid reload (7-13 seconds) 15-25 depends on armor and location of the ammo fast reload (0-6 seconds) what ever amount of ammo you find best, and Finley (21-43 seconds) all the ammo becouse as soon as you fire the enemy will flank you and the bigger the explosion the better

    CUSTOM SIGHTS !
    The ingame rangefinder/sights are worthless.
    get a mod for either a funnelsight or any other Stadiametric rangefinder.
    If you feel fancy and want a GOOD rangefinder, I recommend the "tochka SM2" .
    Not only does it give you the range to a target but also the flighttime of the shell and (estimated) possible penetration.

  • @hermespsychopompos4615
    @hermespsychopompos4615 Рік тому

    Overall, for general purpose, the best missile is the APHEBC like the BR471-B. Better than the APCBC despite having bit more penetration.

  • @leemathis7578
    @leemathis7578 9 місяців тому

    You forgot to add that you can carry more than 50% ammo with tanks that have blow out panels (for example the Abrams family) but don’t carry more than 80% because for some reason, at least in my experience, it still over pressures you and the blow out panels won’t relieve enough pressure

  • @jthablaidd
    @jthablaidd Рік тому

    Idk if it’s a good idea but I like to use aphe then have it to where my next shot is my highest pen shell, so if one guy is left he’s practically a guaranteed kill

    hey tankstien thank you for your video guidelines and it's a sucessfull video indeed
    but there is a problem a lot of people face which is without a doubt is seal clubbers absoulutely negate the effect for new tankers to get used to the game mode since this will prevent them from growing up and making thier expreince horrible and mostly results in them quitting the game early
    making any tank guide video is no longer relevant
    but regardless your effort are not in vain but since i am not a tanker and i did take these advice as an actuall guidelines but it does not bring the effect anymore since there are campers and a lot of spawn pushers and the mentioned seal clubbers making them just not working any time soon as this applies to any gamemodes
