Hint to all new players like myself: premium vehicles do not make you a better player! They actually work completely opposite. Progress slowly, but surely. Take your time, learn the maps. The most fun games are at 4.7-5.7 BR in my opinion.
Call me a smurfer, but I have the most fun with my chaffee and sherman at 3.3
Lol you should say that to the noobs who bought the t72 turns thinking they were good
@@gipsydanger1394 yes, but they are actually good :) so hard to kill with one shot
@@vadimyakus they are like german mains. They are absolutely dog but if you come across a person that knows what they are doing, you are fucked.
the 1.3/1.7 autocannon that you get when first starting off and choosing germany is so fun. like man its just flank and let off a couple into it sides. unbelievably fun.
“Don’t play to unlock”
The most useful tip right here. Don’t get frustrated
That's why it's right at the beginning. Not hidden after 10 minutes of rambling. :)
K just downloaded and I'll be sure to keep this in mind.
I can't help it.. Big cannons are so attractive...
To late hence why Im watching this video.
My Call of duty mindset is the opposite. Grind and grind so u can get golden guns to show off to ur buddies. But admittedly after you unlock those skins the game gets boring
>don't forget to capture objectives
Wow really wish my team saw this video.
Nice to imply that they can see
Is it just me
Or I am see furry pfp everywhere
@@what2toinquarantine64 Not just you I'm seeing them everywhere and I don't know why
@@heavy4173 idk
your teammates can see?
i love the tip at the beginning
"play the game for fun not to grind, unlock stuff as you play dont play to unlock"
thank you i will remember that
Top 10 gaming quotes of all time
Good advice for all games i think.
Yep. Take it slow, enjoy the tanks and aircraft, because as far as early tiers are concerned, you won't be using them for long grinding-wise. I was really sad when I had to move on from the M10 when grinding U.S., my personel favorite TD.
I don’t think I’ll struggle too hard with that. My personal eternal struggle is not remembering how to have fun unless I’m performing well. The last game I was able to truly put a ton of time into and not care so much about winning or losing (at least for the first few hundred[!] hours) was Rocket League. I think that’s because it was so unique relative to anything I’d played where I didn’t have any expectations of ability or gameplay. I don’t know how to do it otherwise.
My friend had just installed the game, kept dying, wanted to get a plane, spent a couple of dollars on a premium plane BR 1 I think, died fast, realized that he couldn't use the plane cuz yk spawn point and ended up quitting the game
Extremely helpful video. No annoying commentary telling me to follow them on other platforms and all that bs. Just straight to help.
That's my USP. ^^ Thanks! :)
Real gamers dont look up weakspots in the hanger, you just shoot at anything that moves until you get lucky and get that dopamine rush
On not purchasing high tier premium vehicles, especially planes:
Not only will you not know the basics, but if you aren't upgrading your crews as well, you will be even more outmatched by veterans who have maxed out crews. You will be blacking out in high G turns much quicker than your counterparts, your crew will die with less damage, tanks take longer to repair, etc.
Just grind for a bit and gain some experience with flying, upgrade the crew a little bit, and then think about higher tier premium planes. Otherwise, you will just get frustrated and have wasted money on vehicles that you don't even use because you don't play the game anymore.
Because as we all know... war thunder is almost fun.
Never have I heard something more true
Great video man, been playing War Thunder on & off since 2015, and even learned a few things lol. Loving the reggae music too!
Same here lol
@EndGameYTcaptain Nobody cares about your sweating you edgelord.
@EndGameYTcaptain You're calling people noobs and telling them to shut it, because you're edgy and assume you're better than everyone else because you have nothing better to do, nobody gives a flying crap. Blocked/ignored, i honestly don't care.
@EndGameYTcaptain I'm 12
rlly i dont get why people fight on coments
Been trying to find a video like this for awhile. Clear, concise, to the point. Well done, I'm new to war thunder so I'll be following your videos through my progression.
Thanks. :) Share it around if you're in the mood. I'll do a "how to git gud / get better" video soon. Anything in particular you're interested in? I'm always looking for Inspiration especially when it comes to videos for new players. Been playing for so long you forget some of the stuff important for new players.
@WhiskeyWivver lol .. I'd say USA or Germany for ground/combined.
General Tip: Do not, under ANY circumstances, no matter how good your armour or gun is, I beg you, do NOT be seen. If you are seen, chances are you are as good as dead. Look at the map for flanking routes, hit the enemy from the side and general beat the light out of them.
It is so extremely refreshing to watch a somewhat positive take on this game that, even with all its problems, is just so much fun.
It's so fun. I just wish the matches were more complex and lasted longer.
MYSH: *suggest to pick either usa, germany or ussr*
Me: "thats it, im picking sweden"
@Winter why? I actually love the British tree :)
@Winter also at rank 4? The gameplay changes rapidly once you hit BR7+. That would be rank 4
@Winter ok. The game gets quite fast at 5.7. Flying Spits there is a lot less forgiving than at 4.7 or lower. At least that's my impression. I'm struggling with the clipped wing Spit there. Trying to get it to work atm.
Hmm I like Finland wonder what there tanks decals looks like
LOL when he said don't worry about your tank driving like a Ferrari lol
I can't believe you have just 6.7k subs. This channel deserves more, much more. The content was very professinally presented. Bravo.
Thanks :)
Just the kind of video I was looking for. Concise, helpful, and brief. Thank you!
Appreciate the shout out lad, fantastic guide! Wish I'd seen something like this when I first started, I'd have saved myself a lot of pain messing around with my crews in stupid ways!
We all get there in the end I suppose (if you're not a smoothbrain like me!)
Hi Koala :) Thanks! Wish I had your stuff and my own guide when I started with WT :P My russian crews are a complete (random) mess, too, because of me being astonishingly lamebrained. :D
got back into it after giving up, i think i mightbe hereto stay this time. been trying to grind up to a sherman on the USA pipeline, youve helped me out alot. thanks friend
Np :) Shermans are nice to play. If you exploit their advantages like the stabiliser and their ability to peek/shoot over cover for example you'll have a lot of fun. And the A36 is nice air support up to 3.7.
@@WatchMysh ty, and what would i have to do for access to the helicopters?
@@ratnoh Get to rank 5 in either aircraft or tanks for the specific nation you want the helicopter, then start the research and buy it with SL. Bear in mind that youll need top tier tanks in order to use the helicopter as they are a high BR
For me, it was a waste of time. I never played tanks often and will only play sim so i got my helicopter by getting to rank 5 in aircraft and haven't ever used my chopper in anything other than the awful addition 'helicopter EC' and the odd custom battle.
So make sure you have tanks first or its a bit of a waste. Have fun grinding for that
I bought the T55am1 two months after starting the game. Loved it from the start, 0 regrets. When I reached br 10.0 I was (and still am) really glad I didn't buy the Turms, there is a huge difference between the playstyle at 8.3 and 9.7
Would you still recamend getting it im just starting im using a T-26
@@OriginalRussianSpy i do, i've researched the entire Russian ground tree with it!
I would first get to the pt76 (rank 3, 5.3 br) in the tech tree though so you'll atleast have a scout vehicle with a stabilized gun to respawn in.
I have never played War Thunder, installed it today, havnt touched it yet, wanted to find tutorials first, and this is exactly what I needed, thank you!
You're welcome :)

Great video! Lots of useful information for a new player, like how you spoke out on the premium vehicle issues with monetizing
Thanks! Happy to help! :)
Seriously. this is still a VERY valuable guide to watch! Wish I had watched it before, there were still a lot I still haven't figured out completely. :D
Damn. Such underrated chanel :((
Thanks :) Sharing my stuff is very important to fix this issue. ;)
Just came back to this game after a long hiatus. They didn’t even have tanks or anything past tier 5 really when I was playing last. They have added soooo much!
Same here. Quit around 2014 and re-joined 2019. Now I'm on an open ended vacation from WT again. Have fun!
Been playing for year's on and off but I'm only just level 11. And there were a few things here I didn't even know so thank you!
Thank you for this video! I wish I had watched this 2 years ago after spending way too much time grinding American tanks 😂😭
This is a superb video. All of the core concepts and game mechanics are well communicated. I'm always on my guard with free to play games so although I've been interested in War Thunder for a while, I've always kept it at arm's length. After watching this, I'll probably dabble to see if it's for me. 👍🏻
Thanks :) well I tried my best to show all the good and bad stuff the game has to offer. War Thunder shines in several aspects but is more like an abusive partner in others...
Thanks for the video man, I have been playing War Thunder every now and then but never really understood, thank you for showing me tge way!
Thanks :) HF!
This is just an absolutely refreshing video. Totally helpful.
Thanks. Doing my best :)
Really good video. I'm fairly new and have tons to learn and this helped a lot. Thanks dude! :)
Always happy to help :) HF! :)
“Unlock stuff as you play, don’t play to unlock” The beginning of the video and this person is already spitting out the most important fact.
Thank you this helped me. I appriciate it!
I feel like it is good practice for newer players to play some arcade in all different tiers as they progress so you can quickly learn the weakspots of all sorts of different tanks on the fly. They can switch back to realistic with some newfound knowledge. You can also use the penetration analysis or the information tabs on individual vehicles that are giving you the most trouble when it comes to penetrating their armor. I do feel like it is worth mentioning some vehicles may feel more fun on arcade and some may feel more fun on realistic battles.
Thanks for this video, I'm just chilling in tier 1 because I'm just having fun
Buddha intensifies
This is exactly the video I needed, thank you so much
You're welcome :)
I just started playing, thanks for the video! Very informative
Warthunder is the sort of game you wanna play with friends sometimes for fun.. eventually jump to DCS and learn to fly in that. Also these games can be pre fun with VR.
You are right. I play because its fun. Every once in awhile I will earn a new tank, but I am not trying to earn new tanks. Besides, I mostly enjoy playing 5.x such as the Cobra king. In my opinion, the maps are too small for higher tier tanks such as an Abrams with all their sophistication - missiles, FlIR, TOWS, etc.
This helped me a lot. Thank You!
Love the video, just played my first couple of rounds today. See y’all on the battlefield!
Really good video, I shouldve showed this video when I introduced my friend to wt. It was very frustrating explaining him everything :\
I can’t take it anymore those pro player that comes to tier 3.0 destroy everything
i have the patience to play but all i need now are some friends to play with and some GE to help me progress a bit easier
Really nice tutorial for new players!
See you newbies on the battlefield o7
we really hope to see you first ;)
I love how you have to fight like T-34 tanks with a tiny 30 mil and no armor
"It's almost fun" °!"......very well made guide to WT . Short and to the point ! Greetings from Germany !
Almost! Danke dir! :)
Thanks, this video was really helpful. I just the game a few weeks ago and this video clarified a bunch of things.
Welcome to the War Thunder crowd. :) Just ask if you have any questions.
"And remember to capture the objective"
Most people that are on my team need to see this video....
Thank you for the guide just started today!
:) Have fun!
TY!!
Thanks bro I've been struggling
Your outro was worth liking and sub
Good guide as someone who is also a bit new too the game this helps simple and straight too the point. My recomandation would be to bring allong a friend of 2 especially in tank battles. I have the luck of playing with a guy that has a lot of experience in the game and an other friend that is at the same Point of progression as me. I did make the "mistake" of picking britain as my starting nation but i'm having Fun with thema and other countries seem easier.
The British are really nice. I love the Cromwells. They are beasts if used properly. Also British cas is strong with the Hellcat and other fighter/bombers and the nasty Spitfires to surpress enemy planes.
It is very player-dependent in how fast you learn. Took me good ebough time until I moved from arcade to Realistic and was able to aim from 57mm guns to 150mm guns up to 700-800m without rangefinding.
Nice video! Now I want to hop on and play this already 😅
Man I loved tearing apart that premium f3f an flegalls bf109 oh and a remember flying a hurricane losing my wing and still flying
Great information and well put, I just can't make it out of 1.3 BR and that's sad, I love getting one shot from .75 km through 4-5 trees while I speed towards the objective while at an angle, think this is finally it for me
Try to stay behind the pack and slowly scout out enemy positions. Shoot the guys speeding at the objective ;)
I've tried a few different methods including this over the past few matches, unless I'm behind hard cover and basically flanking nothing, I just get shot by people who's names have just appeared on screen, I have alot higher chances at close range but it's still 50/50, I can critical hit someones gun only only for them to one shot me while I reload, because having taken out the gun, I assume myself safe from the one person until my next shot, it's just incredibly tedious to have not even made it to br 2 yet (researched it but stayed back, as I still get stomped in br 1)
But thank you for responding so quickly, truely shows integrity in what you do
@@Alex-rn8vu Sounds exactly what happened to me as I started out long ago. :D You'll get the hang of it over time. :)
@@WatchMysh I dunno, how fruitful can it be at BR 5 if BR 1 is such a grind? But even if it's not for me, I really have to appreciate the game in itself, it is a great one
A great compilation on how to start out and what to look out for!
Also nice that you linked other creators, my favourite right now would probably be Ash, I love his personality.
Someone not mentioned here that I want to shout out is Defyn (ua-cam.com/users/DEFYN ). He has probably helped me most with understanding how to improve my Air to Air combat, his tutorials/guides are unreached in my opinion and his gameplay is super well explained.
ah damn I knew I forgot someone ... thanks for pointing out Defyn!
tims variety has good reviews as well. he is newer, but makes great stuff.
awesome vid. well rounded. great commentary. loved it.
Thanks! :) I put a lot of effort into my tutorials to make them as enjoyable to watch as possible. Nice to see it appreciated.
Cool video. It helped me learn a lot before starting.
Play for fun
That's what the f in Gaijin & Warthunder stands for
It was the same in Wot they focused so much on those premium tanks which you buy with gold - real money. At first there was only couple of them, but later they added tons of them, and most of them are overpowered, like that one american premium medium tank which has so much armour, it was not possible to damage it's front armour. Gold ammo also for sale- better ap rounds and then those rations which improve crews skills, like reload time etc. And all those good stuff use just those few rich players, who are a minority, they think they are gods, but are just playing a stupid pay to win video game. It became way too imbalanced and pay to win.
As someone who played WoT for damn near like 6 years solid, the SuperPershing right? The cupola on the top was easy to pen and had little armor, I remember killing them many times from the front with that, especially if I was in something well armored since their gun was pretty mediocre. I did hate the premium shells, flat out just made to punch through whatever. On one hand it was better when they couldn't be bought for silver but then that incentivized people to waste money on them.
The Type 59 I remember being such a bastard though. You could punch through it in the front, but it was essentially an MBT and got thrown in with WWII tanks that had no business fighting it. I stopped playing WoT when they went full on with the MBTs, because heavy tanks had no purpose anymore. Why ever use a heavy tank when you could get a medium (MBT) which had an equally good gun, strong armor, and was much faster than a heavy? MBTs replaced heavy tanks, but should have left the game sectioned off so you didn't have WWII tanks fighting tanks from the '60s.
WoT suffered really bad IMO from unicums in platoons. God help you if some high eff players are tooned up on the enemy team, so many games I could see exactly the same thing happen, those high eff players just cleaned the floor with everyone and if you were the lone high eff player on your team it's up to you to carry. I couldn't do it, even though I was pretty good at the game...
Great guide! Enjoyed watching it
Thanks! :)
I am brand new to the war thunder community and I needed a guide on how to play and this was very useful, thank you

Thank you very much for helping me understand this game, u r so SMART 😊
Lol thanks. Happy to help! :) HF!
Very helpful video!thank you so much

It’s so sad how hard is to keep playing at higher tiers with the huge repair costs
Why did i watched this. I've been playing war thunder about 3 years
Lol
Thanks man. Liked
Thanks alot this really helped.
You're welcome
as a new player i thought the navy battles were quite unique and fun to take part in.
Nice! Sadly I don't like them to this day. Tried again just a few days ago. Just doesn't click.
@@WatchMysh World of Warships is better but I like the crew call outs and more realistic smoke screens
*dont buy a high tier prem if you are just starting the game* as a level 100 with 3k+ hours this is the best info you could get, take the time to learn the game first and get a understanding of it, buying a high tier premium when you just start will be hard because most of the players at top tier are mostly experienced
That's correct.
My opinion on top of that is: don't EVER pay 50-60 bucks for a top tier Premium Vehicle. It's just a means to accelerate the grind while you get almost nothing in return. For the price of a whole AAA game all you get is a half-assed model of a plane/tank/ship for use in WT aka running with partly broken physics systems.
@@WatchMysh I really like your opinion but it really depends on the premium, and well if you have alot of game time in the end the money is spent well? But that is correct so wait for sales if you can haha
@@bepu4847 yes, at least wait for sales. In the end all that counts is that you have fun.
This game was complicated as hell. Thanks for this guide
Good vid. The Buddha line had me dying

@@99999bomb aaaah ok that's what you mean.
As a veteran play i have only one advice for players who are just starting to play the game and that is dont play the game gaijin doesnt give a fck about you they only want money the game is literaly power crip and grind fest with broken mechanics and economy.
WoW, thx for this video, epeically i like the ending :)
maybe i'll download War Thunder next three days, and i hope ill like it 😄
Thanks :)
Well there are hit points… the crew has a certain amount of damage they can take until they die and can he upgraded. Also parts have hit points depending on how much damage they take. Just because the game doesn’t have a hit point system like WoT for the entire tank doesn’t mean they don’t use hit points at all.
So i downloaded a game that i will be forced to quit
Why?
and dont leak confidential documents😂😂😂
Lol that's the bonus tip
Thanks, I did enjoy the video. Now back to work...
Well, today is the start of my war thunder day
I advise every new player to immediately uninstall the game before it's too late.

Some of y’all sweaty PC players needa go get some sunlight and blink, 😅 I mean geeezz use your pc for porn sometime hell play a different game, like just close the application once or twice a month is all sumthing
The game is grossly inaccurate and is a grind.
The grind actaully helps your crew be better such as keen sight (longer distance view) etc
So basically to get favorable results with a shot one has to have put in enough time other wise you will be just fodder.
Thsi doesnt mean you cant get kills but you will go down super easy and not kill as easy as you are being killed until you have the same settings.
Really thsi isnt a game worth putting time into.
Yes and no. It sometimes is inaccurate and always grind, yes. But you can do well with a crap crew. Problem is: as you start out you'll get oneshot even with an ace crew because you're not familiar with the game's dynamics and the maps.
@@WatchMysh I stated as such from your point. Yes you can get kills but they will come from familairity and the benefits of your crew being leveled up.
But overall it is widely inaccurate from a historical performance view on tanks they have matched up.
There was a reason the Sherman was nicknamed (from both sides) as the Ronson which was a popular ciggarette lighter. It lit up on just one strike.
@@roo2127 Yes, in in the end it's an arcade game. I personally don't expect accuracy like IL2 or DCS here. And it's a free2play to grinder with all the problems that come with this monetization model.
@@WatchMysh Well put.

Great explain you forgot that Gajin now aiming at hardcore players and collectors instead of new players by dropping new ifv, planes, helicopters and tanks in package on pre order which extra bonus (premium, titels, camo and emblems).
