a USEFUL video about war thunder instead of useless facts? Inconceivable!

As a loser, I mean raid Shadow Legends player. The rewards that they just gave are the equivalent of handing out a 1.3. BR heavy tank

3:56 You actually don't need Pythagoras here. Just bring out a plastic ruler, measure the distance on the minimap, measure the width of one box on the minimap and use the map scale conversion formula via cross multiplication. My buddy and I use this to lob 380mm Sturmtiger shells across the map from spawn and snipe 1.6km+ kills. Once you have the formula, you can get a shot off within 5 seconds of pinging

0:25 this is actually game changing for me, grinding crew skills is a massive thing, as crew skills are one of the most op things in game

9:02 More people need to know this, I've gotten TK'd so many times from teamates who had plenty time to do this, yet they didn't, and I died because they don't know what a sherman looks like.

Actually once used squadmarker+pythagorean theorem (and a calculator) to snipe a hellcat from 1.6 km in my sturmpanzer II xb
Best feeling ever when that worked!

[ooooooooooooooo]

4:29 only VTOL planes can capture zones now.

2, 000 hours, yet I've learnt many new things

[AlRizz]

the ess trick is great. absolutely didnt know that. but kinda logical in hindsight

[mab]

1. As a LT with scouting ability, if you scout an enemy and if you also dmg it, you get double assists. One for dmg it yourself, and one for scouting assist kill. Can be useful for more rewards and completing assist related tasks.

2. For planes with wing sweep ability, go into controls and bind some keys to wing sweep, when at the start of the battle, press the wing sweep toggle to manual and sweep the wings to 0% and then toggle back to auto. This way in dogfights when you need full wing lift advantage, quickly press toggle to "manual sweep" and you wings will immediately go to straight position.

I have a crippling addiction to war thunder. I'm never playing raid.

3:48 Another tip is set your measurement of distance to Km. You know: Kilometer. Even if you can’t read it, it’s recommended to do that. In ground battles, your crosshair is in measurements of Meters, no matter what you set your things to. Like 8 is 800 meters. Measure the tank compared to said cap. For example: a tank is roughly 2 squares away from the cap. You are 2 squares, and the cap is .7 km. Double that, and it’s 1.4. .7 is 700 meters, 1000 meters being a kilometer. So in 3 seconds, you just gathered that the enemy tank is roughly 1400 meters.

If a tank is 5 squares away, and you are one, and the cap is .3 km away, that’s 300 meters. Multiply that by 5. So 5 times 3 is 1500. 1500 meters, or on the cross hair put it between 14-16, which is 15. Fire.

That’s how I rangefind in lower BR so inhumanly quick and accurately. You’re welcome

7:56 you do not have to be rearmed, if you are not damaged you can J out as soon as you stop and rearm timer starts. You can even use it to rearm faster by just spawning again if you dont have a ground crew trained

[StarWarsExpert_]

I like how you go STRAIGHT into the tips instead of any introduction.

[RedVRCC]

0:01 what in the world of tanks did i just hear? I always thought the invisible thing was glitches with occlusion culling. How is that supposed to work for RB where you spot things with your eyes?

[StarWarsExpert_]

4:30 actually planes can NO LONGER capture capture points, because gaijin removed that feature, because apparently some people kept touching capture zones and neutralizing them using planes. Saw that in a mythbuster video. But Helicopters still can.

[Gencrossbones]

Me who's preparing to do a German grind tomorrow with the Tiger 1 H as my highest BR rating vehicle

*HANS WRITE THESE DOWN WRITE THESE DOWN*

FINALLY I KNOW WHERE THE MISSION EDITOR IS THANK YOU SO MUCH

7:17 the distance is height not distance from you so make sure you remember that!
