A War Thunder Guide On How To MAXIMIZE Your Camo!

In today's WAR THUNDER video, I discuss how to maximize your camouflage in War Thunder! I know it is a controversial topic among the player base, but this video is targeted towards those who like camo and the added tactical element it adds to the game!

All my homies are the anti-bush gang, although a very nice and insightful vid, helping me learn the strategies of my enemies, as Sun Tzu once said, *“If you know the enemy and you know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.* If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle”

Not all bushes render in at the same rate, so it's important that to use early rendering bushes on edges and corners.
Just zoom out in hanger to check this.
Camouflage can also be applied to hide identification.
I apply camo to the VK-Panther to disguise it as a regular Panther. So players rarely even bother shooting this models weaker front plate.
In reverse, On the Porsche Tiger. I apply bushes only to hide it from being identified as the Porsche variant and leave the strengthened front plate visible as its normally a weak spot.
I decorate that one with another troll decal but I don't wanna make that secret famous 😂

I'm an ancient specimen who cultivated his shrubbery before the Warbond shop rework.
I've always been using bushes like this, good to know it's the correct way lol

I also consider identification; if an enemy takes a second or two to figure out what vehicle I'm in, that gives me all the time to off them.

I wish that they would add camo nets it would make all tanks look so much more epic

My brother in War Thunder, you do not need to put up with the barrel auto-adjuster, you can turn that off in the settings and save the precious seconds when engaging

I despise bushes, so I farmed last battlepass for a bush crate, got a really good one, and now i only use it next to my garden gnome and anniversary cake on top of my tank to balance it out.

I'm fueling the anger, and if the anger rises to much, then debit card comes out

Super Video good job, and thank you for the tips and tricks that you are sharing with us. 😊

[priscacara]

Great work with the vid I havent used bushes etc much but now that I know how I will use them more 🙂

[lemons]

On some of my turreted tanks, I cover the turret all around instead of trying to hide the frontal plate.

Some vehicles with short guns you can hide the barrel to, like the premium russian su-57 TD

Outstanding video, thank you brother.

I actually started paying more to get new bushes after I stopped caring for their gameplay value.
Now I use the most realistic pieces, the pine branches and dry bushes mostly, to simulate how a crew my realistically use them. Obviously no floating BS on the barrels etc., but still with an eye on breaking the silhouette, which does wonders in this shadow=cover game.

Hey you are able to hide like you said you can't place a barrier but you can hide behind buildings also you can drop smoke which blocks their visibility

[jacobcottingham]

Even without the slightly scetchy p2w way the camo is moslty obtained, I have found a lot of people on war thunder don't have the most awareness anyway, as long as you sit still

[king_tuna_xvii_theunsalted]

do a noise detection tutorial next.
Good vid, tho I don't use bush I think this is a good reference to look out for bush user

[ElectrikMe]

Too bad we can't just run into the bush and cut bushes to place on our tanks, in game.

Good tutorial on an - in my opinion - overpriced element of the game. As I started War Thunder I considered bushes as unfair but now...welll...my eyes are trained enough, so I can distinguish between the natural environment and those applied bushes in most cases. Of course there are occasions where the bushy boi wins but I don't care about that.

I do not apply any bushes at all to my tanks. First they cost to much and I consider them unfair against new players. Experienced players will eventually see you anyways and shot at weakspots, regardless if they are covered with bushes. So for me there is no use case for them.

I once was playin on a snowy map... with dead trees and stuff like that... very whitey dead nature. And then suddenly... i saw PALM LEAVES OVER THE RIDGE... I LAUGHTED HARD XD

[MrDeathangel]

10:02 what type of bushes did you use on the tiger to camoflage it like that

[mattporter]

Great video and explanation, People need to realise this is improvised in real life battles so i dont see a problem...just remember to switch off your engine once positioned.
