Indirect Fire Mode in War Thunder 

I can't wait for the accusations of hacking to start flowing in like water.

Note: if you sit at spawn and saw random shot landing from nowhere, RUN

Who brought pythagoras into war thunder lol

imagine, imagine math teacher showing war thunder footage to make students interested in math

Sshhhhh, don't uncover our secrets

Shoutout to Loner1512 for consistently making this work

There’s a dude called Loner on RU-vid here and he does this.. it’s really cool

Math is a powerful weapon

back in the day before drone, i once saw one squad in heli spotting and range finding meanwhile other dude shoot at the target using german 15 cm sIG 33 auf Fahrgestell Panzerkampfwagen II (Sf)

1:24 Pythagorean theorem in War Thunder, finally a use case!

"they're taking our jobs!!!" - every arty vic in war thunder

Would be nice if they can make it so SPGs can go high angle while maintaining the usual gunsight, with the sighting gradient starts readjusting for the ballistic arc the other way.

Give shout out to "Loner" for making video about how to do it

I took ballistics in school, fascinating subject. Things go up, things go down

You know War Thunder's gotten to a new level of silly when someone breaks out a set of paper squares.

They should really patch the killcam because kills like these would look like you got "gaijined"

Based RA2 track

Got killed like that, onetap on my Leo2k, wasnt even mad hella impressive.

First time I saw this on K2 kit krabiwe channel. It was magnificent to watch

Reminds me of an ancient newgrounds tankmen meme "Pythagorean theorem B****!"

SPGs like type 99 japan need drones

When people discover commanders view and leading:

Gotta love that Red Alert soundtrack

Hearing Grinder from RA2.....it's like meeting an old, childhood friend again after all this time.

I didn't know C&C and WT go amazingly well with one another

this is so fucking cool actually If it were mainstream, maybe not. But if I were killed in spawn and i saw it was because he was acting as OBSERVER AND ARTILLERY then I wouldn't be mad at all. I'd just be in awe.

nice to see other people now doing this and yeh THIS IS A THING AND ITS FUN AF TO DO

이 일을 전문으로 하는 유튜버 한명을 알죠... 개무서운 사람

This is some Sovietwomble rifle grenade level maths.

I wonder how gaijin may ruin this interesting playstyle, I give it hmm...,.,. 5-6 business units

I did the same thing too but back when they added helicopters. I was surprised no one thought of it before. My buddy would ping light vehicles, and I would shoot. I just had a ruler I would put on my screen and have a calculator on hand to convert the irl cm's to ingame meters. Then I would just adjust the artillery accordingly. Usually some big HE cannon I would be lobbing.

with the ZBD04A in the game now, it is possible to see an artillery duel between BMP-3/BMD-4 and ZBD04A spawn to spawn, havent got the opportunity to try it out since I matchmake with Russian main friends but it sounds very fun.

Thats how Loners use bmp/Sheridan as spg

I managed a 2.5km kill with the 2S3M once thanks to a friend of mine spotting with his drone and giving feedback on the trajectory. It was one of the best feelings I've ever had in WarThunder!

the camera on the drone shows the distance, so at least in theory you could use trigonometry to calculate the distance to the target using it, if you also looked at the distance to yourself, and you might need to account for the altitude of the drone. you could use the compass to estimate the angle between your tank and the target. the drone moving means that you have to get all the required values relatively quickly, but as long as your tank or the target don't move too much it should be doable. nevertheless the calculation would take time, unless you wrote a specific application for it, so it's way easier to just estimate the range using the map and do corrections. I would be very careful about writing any programs that do it though, since it might be against the rules and result in your account getting banned. I'm only saying that it's technically possible and you could always try calculating it yourself without any assistance to see, if it even works.

RA2 ost still bangs harddddddddd

that's *amazing* absolutely phenomenal

There is a guy called Loner, he has tons of vids of it, including in detail how to do it

We finna learn ballistics with this one

reminds me of grenades and knives thrown from one spawn to the other at the beginning of every match in cod

When I was still at lower BR in Germany, I always use the Pz. IV C as an arty...Without the drone or range finder, I just assume and adjust the elevation manually until it gets closer and closer to a distant target, and it was fun and requires more ammo in the rack ngl.

I took ballistics in school. Fascinating subject. Things go up, things go down.

The day my 3080 comes back from RMA is the day all those drones die trying to to kill my VR little bird.

K2 Krabiwe is happy

i remembered phlydaily have done this with his friends in a video about 1 year ago.they made drone flew over their head when spotted an enemy to know the distance almost exactly correct（drone shows the distance to where the cam lock on）. pretty amazing job there.

I learn pythagoras from videos about how aim howitzer artillery accurately Finally, one way to make that skill useful

인게임 좌표계와 암산을 이용한 포격 노트, 펜과 계산기를 이용한 포격 누군가 만들어줄 '워썬더 포격 계산기 app'을 이용한 사격통제

Also you can use squad mark instead of the mark for team thingy so it doesnt spam the voice notification

I came for Hell Divers, I did not stay for War Thunder.

Gaijin summoning this guy when i pop 500%:

"don't bother shooting the drones down"

this is big, some fresh air into high tier battles

Putting trigonometry into good use finally pays off

This actually equivalent to Cod Mw series when a pro player yeeting a grenade or a knife into the air and landed somewhere near their spawn zone.

you can laugh but i used a rule to calculate the distance faster, the grid square on my screen has exactly 1cm with that i use the rule to determinate the distance within the target, adjust on sight then pull the trigger, it works most of the times and if it fail you have to do very small adjustments

This is the coolest thing I have ever seen.

I love the RA2 energy.

The Fact that I've learned to do trigonometry and ballistics just so I could land some long range shots in Tarkov and War Thunder is crazy(I fuckin Hate Math)

If you are unusual guessing correct distance on your target, calculating using the grids should be a basic knowledge for ground players. Just mark your target using your squad mark for precise location then calculate

im here to say it took me a while setting up this mod and i finally found out! and its sounding SOOOO MUCH better THANKS AGAIN WEBE

I love this channel, since it actually explains game mechanics in an easy way

target: *moves a little* arty: DAMMIT!

Someone has perfected this act and makes good videos on it

Reminds me of a lob with a sturmtiger I did a while back, about 1,6km range, spawn to spawn, on fields of Normandy

..This is just how real world artillery works. The War Thunder all-in-direct-fire battle is the real troll in real world.

this same exact thing can be done in rising storm 2 vietnam where you can set your own markers on map of common spots or when commander abilities are used to show enemy location and align it with your compass using a mortar. racked up 50 kills in a game i normally get 20

Thank you for finally making a video somewhat explaining this awesome thing in the game

Shoutout to loner guy, been wathcing him before this vid dropped

bro you are insane, your motivation and skill is overflowing this realm

It's a lot of fun, I've been doing this for a while using my AVRE, direct line of sight. Furthest kill I have I actually got recorded, it's from our spawn to just outside of the enemy spawn, at max gun elevation and using a hill for extra elevation

The Pythagorean Theorem works too

no you hunt resupplying helis with this

finally mobile arty in war thunder will actually live up to its name

Me: i tired of Artillery ruin my game in WoT, time to play WT WT :

Loner is weeping, cmon Zenturion, give the true arty man his credit :(

This is a nice tutorial for long range artillery fire without calling artillery corps

1:25 i've used this exact method in Squad as a Heavy Anti Tank role lmfao, you get them every single time from a cross the map its crazy.

I love that the crew voices usually sync with the music

월탱 자주포의 재림이군요ㄷㄷ

Congratulations for Loner for giving this guy idea

Bro is using pythagorean theorem in war thunder

it's amazing the way you use the pitagoraser theorem in the game. unfortunately the average war thunder player will never be able to use it

Pictured: the importance of spotter drones.

Bros practicing in case the north gets any ideas

that music sent me back

I personally prefer RBT-5/Sturmtiger for this role, however it requires 1) teammate in a heli; 2)access to a captured point to reload those monsters.

Loner 1512 is the master in this

Sturmtiger enters the chat . “Who said you actually had to hit the target directly?”

funny to see the ukies influence war thunder instead of it being the opposite this time around

Really cool, but largely countered by a shoot-move-shoot playstyle. The ability to mark everybody everywhere tho is hella powerful; and its a good thing a lot of rb players grow roots lol.

I wish I had the time to grind that high.

now imagine if we had mortar vehicles

That funnier when you do this as a squad One spotter, 3 Sturmtiger

Rainbolt if he played War Thunder:

thank god the sturmtiger was before the drone age

can't wait for them to add pzh2000 and i can finally play this with my friend

Now imagine a small team of guys in the same SPG vehicle doing the same thing on the same target

I did this with the Swedish Trumpet (1.7) in a much higher tier. It was way too effective against multiple TAMs 😂

This is honestly so fucking cool. FINALLY A reason to play bmp1

cant wait for the bmp3 to unlock and try this, thank you so much!
