Assault Ground and Air Arcade Modes Explained + Pro Tips and Tricks - War Thunder 

What's really annoying about Ground Assault is that the payouts are kinda shit if you mess up and don't win everything, and you only have once chance a day to go for it.

I wish the pve mode was more rewarding As am no so keen on PvP itself in any game at least make it optional to earn more SL and more research points

Pretty decent video, but I do have some issues with your air assault advice. Firstly, I don't think you should "always" go for the targets closest to you. That may work in higher tier jet matches, but mid to low tier, where it takes time to climb, and the guns sometimes take a while to kill enemy planes, that is very poor advice. Go for the planes that aren't being attacked, if you're fighting IL-2s and some IL-4s spawn, and you were to be shot down, then you should go for the IL-4s, firstly, you spawn at the right altitude, secondly, your allies will be able to finish up the IL-2s. Thus making the IL-4s the bigger threat. Secondly, something that you didn't mention, but did do. If you're damaged, and need to get a repair. Just J out. Repairing on the Airfield, especially at lower BRs makes you a wasted player slot for 2 - 3 minutes. Not good. I would rather have a P-26 at alt trying to kill He-177s than a F-4e on the ground because he doesn't want to pay 1,200 SL for a new plane. And finally, "Taking your best plane" may not be the solution to getting the greatest reward. The Spitfire, for example, is a great plane, but it is a horrible vehicle for the task. It has low ammo and a low number of guns. It would be better to take, instead of the 6.7 griffon spitfire, the 2.7 Typhoon and 2.0 Hurricane, or instead of the 3.7 Cannonstang, the 3.0 A-36 with gunpods. Assault is a great place to get parts and FPE for tanks though, so there is that.

2 years later... but il leave this here for new players. On ground assault, the most efficient hiding spots are outside of the "base". On almost every map, the base is Killzone where you will be shot at from all directions. Each map has good hiding spots outside of the base, where you can control at least 2 enemy spawn locations. Also, the main problem is what teammates are doing is detrack some tank and keep shooting at that 1 even if they can't kill him from 1km away, wile other tanks are caping base. Priority is ALWAYS the closest tank/s to the base. Even if you can't kill him, at least detrack him before he enters cap area and then shoot at something else till other target is dead or detracked at least. You will get assist for that, and you will slow down their advance so tanks that CAN kill, have time to turn around and come help you. And lastly, learn from what spawn location enemies come fastest to base and focus on those 1st.

If you’re winning (or losing) and you did right before the end of the match, don’t respawn and save yourself the silver lions.

I use the USSR 2.3 lineup and win about 75% of the time while using very fast reload vehicles like the T-80 at 3.5 seconds. Often kill 40 to 50 tanks.

One difference for the lower BRs (I only have good lineups I am comfortable with at 2.3 and 3.7 so far) is that the respawn cost is so low it makes conserving your vehicle over rated. Low BR tanks often have trouble getting kill shots from the front. Attack the groups and flank. If you wait until the enemy reaches the blue square to respond to the group YOU WILL LOSE!

From the video, I got the impression that Boosters won can only be used Air=Air, Ground=Ground. A booster is a booster. It does not stipulate what mode it can be used in.

You play assault Air arcade in jets you have the possibility to win if the team does well same with assault ground arcade. Everyone enjoys launching missiles at enemy planes and that wins a lot of rounds in assault air arcade

With the newest update I wonder how this will work out with the new bulldozer mechanic

I always grind on assault air arcade and i got f100d for a week

Most important on whatever vehicle you choose for Assaults is the reload time. The steps to improve the reload time for ex. the F4E and 40seconds reload time with cannons. Get your crew pts up to when you can buy Expert Crew for SL, either by grinding or with Golden Eagles. Then buy Expert crew Grind Grind Grind Until Ace Crew after 1mn RP pts for the fastest reload 13,3 seconds with cannons. Doesn't seem long between but if you are at BR 6.7, one single bomber group can destroy your base completely, which is when everybody is reloading instead of J-ing out and start from the base at an altitude, sure it costs more SL but if you'd lose you get just a couple of peanuts instead.

Lol, the RP rewards back were far lucrative than nowadays.

all i want. is to hear the engines boom sound.

I have quite a few issues with war thunder one of them being very toxic players stealing your kills because they want to get as many points as they can so they just block your line of sight so you can't shoot

when T90s Leclerc or M1a2a roll in everyone folds,it is a 50% chance to victory.Better to just go top tier,lower tiers you find you can not penetrate the enemy from the front when they roll in.You need a good gun and fast load.I did a 7.7 and i was fighting tanks a whole rank higher that was frustrating.

Can anybody tell me why ai bot tanka can hit you when they cant see you why there shots go up and down following the contours of a hill like a cruise missile with ground avoiding radar and distance shots that are longer that todays world record

Too many people play at tier 4 its irratating because you only get 1 kill

This is the only game mode i made alot of SL i normally made 7k or 10k and 2.359 research points SL,in rb i normally made 5k 1k but just a few times

Never even heard of this mode

how do i put it in realistic mode

I'm trying to figure out how to get SL booster instead of RP, If i use the F4E Spaded in Assault I a get RP-bstr, then yesterday when I used the F4C without expert crew and almost all mods, and got the SL booster, then I did the Air Assault today again with the F4C and got the RP booster. Tomorrow i'm gonna try with the A4E fully modded but on a sh!t crew. In Ground Assault if I only use a Tank I get SL and if I only use the Helicopter it gives you an RP booster, but sometimes the algorithm just decides to give you RP anyways whatever you choose, I don't know if this has to do with if you have a lot of vehicles without mods, hmm maybe.

Low tier air assault is ass. It's so mind numbing. Takes an hour to get to the target just for even more frustration in taking the bombers out.

Ok so i decided to start with air and only have the air pve mode how do I unlock the ground pve? oh also why am I not allowed to use my dive bomber!?

ain't no way there are people playing assult air arcade AT TIER 6 OR 7

Meh! Always general information, and never ever actual how-to's.

Why you not put your mic to your mouth? It sounds very bad. Come on . . .
