I’m 2 planes away from t6 and just realized I went down the wrong tech tree and can’t get the f-14😂

[elumon_cz]

I have watched this "series" from the start and it is so cool seeing you getting good in the game but also in the edits and overall video quality! Huge W man

[kyle]

To dodge those early missiles. You pull a hard turn like you were to get the missile to follow you, then you roll the plane the other way. Basically the turn will look like an "S" to dodge the missile! Doesnt always work, but if you dont have flares its worth a try!

[Schnaqer]

Your ammo choices in ground RB might be really holding you back.

Edit: yeah you figured it out

[Flayrr]

For someone who's still F2P, seeing the rewards for that one game in the Ju 288 was eye-opening. No wonder people use that thing like crazy! It's still annoying af to deal with them, but I might blame each player a little less now...

[trashboat]

A general rule of thumb for the German tank tech tree is that the APHE is the best round, even into tiers 3-4

[leo]

Make sure when you get big boster, to use them on the Ju-288C

[man]

This guy actually makes really good videos and deserves more subs. I guarantee that I'll be watching more of these because this is some funny content. GET THIS MAN TO 1 MILL!

[villageguy]

i was singing erika with you bro and to quote an average war thunder game,
“bravo”
“gramercy”
“attack the d point”
“i agree”
“i refuse”
“yes”

[nightsnailyt]

Just watched this video and saw the Karaoke part for the first time. As a german, i just want to say that your pronunciation was really, really good.

Very Nice Video

[Andstronaut]

I started playing War Thunder 2 days ago and I'm on Tier 3. U inspired me to grind harder. :)))

[rottnmic]

Listening to this guy while grinding in war thunder in 4 am is something else

24:20 What did you mean by "OK ping"? If you're referring to the missile not actually hitting you but still blowing up and killing you, that is because almost all air-to-air missiles have a proximity fuze. Which means they don't have to directly hit you, they just have to get within a few meters.

24:42 "How do I dodge that" well I'm pretty sure that's an aim 9 b, which is only a 10g missile, so they should be pretty easy to dodge, but personally I haven't played that specific jet you're in, so I don't know how well it turns, but basically you need to turn in to the ground, into the turning circle of the missile. You want to make it bleed all of it's speed and/or turn harder than it (which isn't all that difficult (depending on the plane you're in) against an aim 9 b) As well as keep your speed. So do not pull up or sideways unless you really need to (such as if you're gonna ram into the ground). And you should be able to keep your speed (because you're going down), so you should be able to evade the missile.

26:21 I notice that you're using HEAT. Not sure what vehicle that is specifically, but I'm pretty sure it's not one of the chode panzer 4s or 3s, looking at the x ray at the bottom left, because it has a long barrel. This means you should be able to use APHE instead of HEAT, which is WAY better (for most situations). HEAT might have more pen, however it has worse drop, worse velocity, and worse damage compared to something like APHE (and it blows up on bushes and fences and stuff). APHE penetrates the target and then explodes inside, making it devastating compared to HEAT. I'd say you should use APHE, learn where the weak spots on tanks you'll be facing at that BR are, and then one shot all of em with APHE because it's way better most of the time. A couple things that are good about heat, though, are that you can overpressure open top tanks, and that it's pen does not drop off at range.

29:55 The reason why you lost this engagement is because one: you are using APCR, which is similar to HEAT in that it has more pen, but is still wayyyy worse because it has poor post-pen damage. And two, because you kept shooting the one spot where you can't reliably pen that tank. If you were using APHE you could reliable one shot him if you shoot the hull, and even shooting the mantlet like you were would lead to a one shot or at least a disabling shot if it pens (which with the puma, it just might).

30:25 It didn't let you shoot because that person shot your loader with their .50 cal while you were reloading, which reset your reload.

30:33 That enemy is marked on your map because he is in your spawn, you could have spotted him earlier if you had checked that. Also you were just shooting the wrong spots, again, but good on you for using APHE at least :)

31:23 that shot didn't get him because you shot his track with HEAT which provides a lot of spaced armor for him (HEAT is very vulnerable to that) and he is heavily angled. Never shoot something that is heavily angled unless you know it's got 0 armor (which a kv 1 definitely does not). If you'd shot the barrel or breech there, you could have disabled him.

31:28 The problem there is that you used APCR, again. Which, again, has poor post-pen damage. If you'd used APHE, you would have got him. APCR's poor post-pen damage is magnified even more when you're shooting something that has no armor, because the armor itself becomes shrapnel which means you spall more. So if you shoot something with almost no armor, you do basically 0 spall.

31:42 again, heavily angled target. If you're using the anti concrete shells or the HE shells, you could aim for his turret and the splash damage would pen his hull roof and overpressure him. If you hit the heavily angled front plate of a sherman with any shell that can shoot, it will do nothing.

32:34 Didn't kill everyone because everyone on that side of the turret was already dead, if you look at the x-ray when you shoot him. His breech blocked the spall you needed to kill the gunner on your left.

33:00 he would have shot through that wall from third person and then drove away. That'd be my guess. Ah, no, after watching just past that, he shot you from around that corner, reversed away, reloaded, pushed back out, shot you, and then reversed away again. That's the best thing he can do in that situation, especially since there's multiple of you there.

34:35 That is NOT a heavy tank. no elaboration needed.

35:25 Alright so I can't really be fucked writing a counter for everything you said there, but I'm just gonna say some stuff I guess, might miss a few things from what you said. Anyways, most of the time it's just because you lack experience for ground. You can learn from your failures in ground rb just like you can in air rb, that's what the kill cam and damage cam thing (what you see at the top right when you shoot someone) is for. You can see where you hit them, what it did, where their crew members are, where you need to shoot next, etc. And when you get killed, you can see where they penned you, which can give you an idea of what parts of your tank you need to angle or hide etc. Got sniped from across the map? You were way too far in the open. Can't pen a tank? Well, if you're playing germany, you almost definitely can, you're just shooting the wrong spot. Your shell didn't do anything? You're shooting HEAT and APCR, of course it's not going to do anything. "They saw you that's literally just a skill and experience issue? Not sure what you're complaining about there.

Of course, there are times where there's literally just nothing you can do. Sometimes your shell (even if you're using APHE) will just do nothing, or not even register the hit and go right through em. Sometimes you're being spawn camped and there's just too many of them (but you can always just look at the map before you spawn, see what's there and choose what tank to bring accordingly, or just not spawn. Yeah the map design is pretty shit sometimes. Also I respect your resolve to grind to rank 3 or 4 in germany instead of just giving up like a lot of people would after playing with the wrong ammo types.

37:55 lmao wtf?? never happened to me in my 1.5k hours that's funny af

39:06 lmaoo??

Anyways, good video man, have fun with actually good jets (fuck 7.0 jets tbh) and I hope you get better at ground so it can actually be fun for you.

[theballingboi]

From what I can tell, your issue in ground battles is that you're just always using the highest penetration shells without realizing what they do. When you were using the puma, you were using APCR shells, also known as the worst shells in the game. They really only work if you know where the primary ammo rack is and can hit it. At the ranks you're at, stick to APCBC or APBC shells for really armored tanks, and HEAT for light and SPAA

[snaks]

the hits on the last LIM clip were probably the smaller NR 23s, the 23mm guns. They usually just spark a bit and dont do that much. The hits from the 37 would be bigger and would definitly at least critically demage the enemy :D

[texastootin]

It’s weird how when you get into the higher tiers the player base gets better both in gameplay and sportsmanship. Literally 95% of the time if you exit a dogfight the other player will break off as well. Or if I’m in my bomber and I take heavy damage, I’ll head back to base and sometimes even have an enemy escort to friendly territory. I love dis game

[fakename]

youre damn good for a player with this amount of time under their belt, nice job

[italofabbri]

what you did in 10:20 was pretty smart because he got that friendly kill and lost a lot of silver lions

[sirius_solaris]

YOU’RE BACK?! AWESOME! You motivated me to go through this hell of a game to get jets.
