War Thunder Tutorial: How to Get More Kills 

Jengar very nice vids, really usefull for pleb like me lol

Energy management is important, i agree, but i feel that situational awareness and Positioning are King to any other skill. If you have this mastered you will almost always be in the right position, and from that position you can attack, and also recover from many of the mistakes in energy management you might make. For me Situational awareness and positioning are the foundation on which to build everything else. Decision making comes as a close third. After that its fluent. but these 3 catagories are 60-70% of your success as a pilot.

3-4 kills per match on avarage is very high, because for every one kill match you need a 6 kill match to balance that out. you might be one of the best players in WT with that avarage.I still stand by my opinion ;)

you can also check your avarage kills per match and k/d ratio on thunderskill. my frags per match sits at 2.1 per match, and my kd ratio sits at 3.6, with a 59% win ratio, giving me a 75.9 score for rb. i've checked all the major youtubers at some point, orange doom has 2.8 per match, kd ratio also 2.8, with a 53 % win rate, which also gives him 75.9. you cant find magz as he doesnt fly with his own name. but others like mikegoesboom, napalmratte and others like that can be found on there. no one has above 2.8 per match on avarage.so like i said 3-4 frags per match is very high. better then any youtubber i think ;)

lifespan also is an interesting stat ;)

Lol

hehe ;) you're welcome! :)

Cheers Tom! :) glad you liked it :)

Cheers mate! Good to hear you're making progress mate :D

The dying every battle is something I deeply relate to. It’s happening to me atm

hehe ;)

RB is not particularly hard. You just have to get to know your plane a lot more than AB requires you to. I still prefer AB in general, because of the little annoying things, like spotting exploits with orders, wing rips and excessive overheating in certain planes, bad teams, etc.. But other than that, it's the same thing.

@@gabork5055 I don't even play arcade actually, I play only RB for 1000 hours+ now, it's just the thing I suck and get little kills

@@InitiateDee Idk., when i play RB, i usually either sideclimb or just try to climb above my team, which usually gives some opportunities for kills when they are engaged in low altitudes or by the ones impatient enough to dive on the first targets. This doesn't always work ofc., sometimes your teams will just die in the first few minutes, sometimes you're outclimbed by someone who went afk. for half an hour. It's usually easier with a plane that excels in one thing, or several aspects; Thunderbolts, Bf-s (from the F4), Cobras, Mustangs and maybe the late Spitfire models might be better for getting kills. I sometimes fly too defensively to play it safe, try to get the enemy into a disadvantegous position and bnz and that might be something you might not want to do if your aim is a higher killcount, so you might need to rethink the role you want to give your aircraft and how that fits your playstyle. Like Jengar suggested, knowing your plane and knowing the enemies plane matters a lot and probably most at the point you decide to engage and it's always a good starting point while figuring out how to approach the situation. When i have some interest in a plane, after i spade it i look up its flight characteristics in the wiki, watch guides about it, etc., which gives a general idea about how it should be used, after that it's just a matter of experience. Some planes got a designation, sometimes even the wrong one and that doesn't always mean they have to be used that way. (or other vehicles for that matter; looking at the swedish bombers, the ZSU, some self propelled ATGM-s, etc..)

I don’t even get one at arcade battles but I’m on Xbox so it’s really hard

nope

Markos what would you suggest? :3

Slimedude 29 universal belt :)

Markus Wiedner I think tracers are deadlier than Universal, but, Meh, it works too. :P

I find it noticeably easier to actually *hit* things with Universal, personally. XD Ironically all the flashy stuff from the tracer belt really distracts me and messes up my aim. D:

hehe :)

Step 2: make sure you have millions of silver lions for repair costs of 40k

hehe :)

UWU

hehe, fair enough ;)

@@jengar6258 Sir, what is your control buttons setup on mouse, keyboard.

hehe, shit happens ;)

Uhhh is that how you died

You are welcome mate!

There is indeed no waeseling to mastery in this one ;) its all hard work!

Lot of work them tutorials ;) but i'll look at it :)

hehe, practice makes perfect scott :) im sure even with you progress can be made.

Cheers Jengar they say God loves a trier, really enjoy your vids pal keep up the good work

indeed! will do mate!

Hey stefan, glad to hear it mate :) and welcome!

You're welcome mate! :)

You are welcome mate!

Np mate, glad to hear the video helps :)

Ty sir, glad to hear it :)

glad to hear it mate :)

glad to hear it mate!

np John, glad you enjoyed!

Thank you felix, i appreciate the compliment.

Jengar you are wel... wait this isn’t me quick I’ll run

glad to hear the vid was usefull to you mate! :)

you are welcome! :)

yeah, that could definitely be a huge part of it ;)

Try thinking of the consequence

Just repeat to yourself that if you rush in without a plan, you'll end up dead

@@koencagurangan3256 i forgot this was war thunder lmao

ty sir! :)

Glad to hear it Kim, and you're welcome! :)

Glad to hear it! :)

Hey jumo! ;)

hi hi

Cheers monk! :)

Lovely! My two fav subs in one vid! :3

Ty mate :) Agreed on the mini map, i forgot to mention it, i worked with bulletpoints for this one and talked mostly from memory.

np mate! o7

it is indeed ;)

Cheers mate :)

im planning to go into those seperately, but i could make this video 2 hours long tbh explaining everything in more depth then this is impossible in one video ;)

Thank you very much Renata, glad you enjoyed it! :)

Cheers mate, i might try that out. I knew it but never tried it out ;)

np mate, glad to hear it! Welcome aboard :)

Try to be more effective! ;)

Can do :) their on the to do list!

you're welcome, i have no tips for sim, as i dont play it.

Cheers mate! :) i did indeed spend quite a bit of time on this one ;)

Cheers mate, glad i could inspire you to this endeavour :) should be fun! the yak9m is on the list, but will take a while, i've got a lot of stuff to do before then ;)

Yeah, got that in there too, planeknowledge, very important.

R3dNeckRevolution YT Exactly, the sticks have so many dead angles,its so difficult to do it right.

I can imagine that tbh, get a mouse and keyboard for your ps4? ;)

glad to hear it ;)

hmm, i'll have to look ito that dutch thingy ;) activate the camera with c, take over and control it with the mouse.

I'm a WASD pilot and I'm definitely fine with using c. You just gotta get used to it.

you're welcome!

its a coice, i left it at c, because in dogfights you let go of the c key quickly anyway and control the camera with your mouse.

@@jengar6258 true, but i also wanna be able to fully control my plane via wasD even when im looking around. and didnt you say that being able to control your plane whilst looking around is very important?

sure, min max to what suits you best i would say ;) C key works fine for me, but good that space works good for you!

no, didnt do one on that yet. Good suggestion.

np wendell, glad the tutorial helped! i've been playing for 4 years+ But you can become a more then competent pilot within a year or so, depending on how much time you have, and how willing you are to look at your own performances critiqually ;)

btw i just played this game like a month.. and i can only get 1 kill in RB and most of the time i crash my plane to the ground when im diving im using C.202EC.. is that good or not for a begginer?

getting a 1 to 1 k/d ratio isnt bad at all for a beginner, and for the c.202EC, it has severe compression in a dive, make sure to pull up early.

@@wendellestrada9546 How are ya now?

hmm, that sucks ;)

I know thats difficult, you'll perform worst then usual first before it gets better, but once you do lean you'll make your way over the barrier which saperates the good pilots from the excellent pilots. And i take it thats the step you want to make, you have to persist with practicing it a lot.

nothing is as effective as buying premium time. ab and rb are pretty close, it really depends on wether you're much better in one mode then the other. Performance is more important in rb though, in ab its less critical, so i've always prefered to spade in ab ;)

OK then. I just bought a week of premium, just enough to where I should be able to at least get the engine mods. Thanks for the tips.

(also, do you have any tips for aiming the 37mm gun ? I can do well on someone's tail (got some OS at 600m which is nice) but most of the one shot I try while diving come either wayyy too short or wayyy too far

you should watch my french p-63 review, its in the french fighter review playlist. You should always go after the biggest treat to you. Which is usually the highest plane.

yes. i always shoot both at once. More lead in the air, more chances to remove someone.

Good stuff, you need to give yourself the time to take it all on board. Keep at it.

@@jengar6258 thank you😁

activate it with c, take it over with the mouse, fly the plane with the keyboard.

Fair enough, and wise to know thy limits, and then work around it! o7

np mate, keep at it!

its on my to do list mate, close to being to of the list when the french patch hit ;)

Hey bradley, fly the plane with the keyboard, you can then move the camera freely without using the C key.

It's not war thunder that removes you, its me and the officers ;) when activity runs to 0 and there is no absence report left on discord in the report absence chat channel ppl will be removed. We have ppl waiting to get in ;)

Oh I did not realize that about the Discord report.

:)

hey mate, you were accepted by me 4 days ago, but today one of the officers made an error and removed you again, plz reapply and i will get you back in! :)

OK will do, I'll send it when I get home this afternoon US EDT, thanks. Also how long before tickets go to zero? I usually play 2-3 times week depending on how busy stuff is. Plus I'll remember about the Discord absence report.

more or less yes.

@@jengar6258 Thanks!

@@jengar6258 Sorry, I have another question... How should I play the pe3bis? I know its a strike fighter but my best game in it, I used it as an interceptor... Then diving down to help allies. By all means, it was a crap game I got 1 kill and an assist but that's decent for me in air RB atm...

If it wasnt obvious, that was a joke.

this just cannot happen always mate. it could be your aim, jou need to finish them off in 2-3 passes max for others not to get shots in. do you have good framerate?

profile>service record

get a M&K suited for PS4.

i'd have to check that, havnt used a lot of stealh on the 50 cals lately.

A quick, ahem, overview of all the things i know are required to become a very compentent pilot. Was a lot of work putting this together ;)

Ha! Ha! Nice one. I KNOW how much work goes into compiling videos and respect to you and all others who take time out to publish (and all the pre - publish shenanigans that it entails). If you haven't tried it then it is easy to be ignorant of the process (and I mean that in the nicest possible way) but to make something that is both tangible AND enjoyable could be described, quite appropriately, as a 'dark art', sometimes stretching way into the early hours... Like I say, fair play!!

Cheers mate ;)
