Aerobatic maneuvers guide / War Thunder

In this video we’re going to discuss aerobatic maneuvers. They are often confused with defensive maneuvers… but they are not the same thing. Think of classic aerobatic maneuvers as building blocks that you can use to create more complex moves that will be useful in the specific situation that you find yourself in. Let’s see what these building blocks are… and how this knowledge can be applied to actual combat.

Beginners tips: If an enemy Boom-N-Zoomer comes too close, toss your mouse across the room and hope for the best.

Gaijin: here’s a useful set of maneuvers to use in combat...

Jet: Does maneuver
Also jet: *explodes*

[silvergemteam]

Tries to do a loop and a hammerhead:
G17-G-22-Right wing broken-Pilot unconscious-Maximum velocity slow down-Critic velocity aim the nose down-Left wing broken-Tail broken-Landing gear broken-Flaps broken

[darkrios]

Spinning is a good trick right ?
*gets blown up
immediately*

"There's someone on my six. What's a good evasion maneuver? I know!"

"TUUUURN TUUUURN TUUUURN"

[Thebluernemace]

**mashes keyboard to avoid while the enemy thinks Im having a stroke**

Mannock's rules, number 14:
*Pilots must never, under any circumstances, dive away from an enemy, as he gives his opponent a non-deflection shot — bullets are faster than airplanes.*

There's minimal annoying fact.

The over-Gforce-knockedout.

For bomber players, don't do any of this, because your plane can't do them anyway. Instead, switch to gunner view, try to shoot your tail to activate the poem gaijin has written for you. "The target is in the dead zone." You can read it while you burst into flames and falling like a rock.

And what about that totally real Red Tails maneuver, the "Little trick I learned" ?

[InsightAvenue.]

Summary:
0:34 -Aileron Roll
1:09 -Canopy Roll
1:53 -Split
2:18 -Immelman Turn
2:56 -Loop-the-loop
3:18 -Rollover
4:06 -Hammerhead Turn

Rear Attack- Split into barrel roll then immelman Turn.
Head on Attack- Small dive then canopy roll, when enemy passes you do hammerhead turn.

Split is good for boom and zoom.

Bruce! It seems you have your Voice back! Splendid! It is so good to listen to your Voice and hearing that it seems to be have the old strength back! Thanks to the gods!

Special Maneuver when a zero is on ur six:
HOLD ALT THEN PRESS F4 :)

[unconfusedconfusion]

“While your airplane still exists”

Ah yes all this time I have been doing maneuvers where my airplane ceases to exist

[creeperbomb]

Gaijin: Combining maneuvers into complex ones is very crucial in combat

P-47: *haha no*

[turkeyboy]

I don't know if this has a name, but one trick I will sometimes do in a sim battle is intentionally put my plane in a flatspin if I can't get the enemy off my tail. Doing this not only causes them to overshoot, but allows me to escape in virtually any horizontal direction. It does use up pretty much all your energy though, so it's kind of a last-ditch effort.

[ethan.saraiva]

The "loop the loop" can actually be extremely useful in combat. During a neutral pass, both lanes typically bank until they are head on again and repeat this jousting until you crash or kill them. While during a neutral pass pull a long "loop the loop" so they get ahead of you during your manuver and can to get the pure pursuit or vantage point.

[apfel_taartje]

Something that can really help, is to roll over like making a turn, than pitch the nose down in your planes perspective.

When the enemy sees you roll over, he expects you to pull the stick and compete the turn. But when you push the stick, his sights are trained on the wrong side of your plane, missing his shots and leaving him moving in the wrong direction

[Audeeeze]

When vastly outnumbered and out gunned, do continuous canopy rolls and let them try to hit u while u drag them down to the deck making easy targets for ur teammates

[nickoppen]

For a maneuver to be effective you need to stay alive long enough to kill your opponent and not get nail mid-maneuver by someone else. Hammerheads in battle with other bandits around == certain death.
