As part of the offensive, your team must break through to the capture zone, while destroying the forces of the defending AI opponents which have anti-tank cannons and ground vehicles. Equipped with rapid-firing autocannons or machine guns, you are to lead the enemy plane right into your firing field to knock them out of the sky. Join now and take part in major battles on land, in the air, and at sea. Notice: This title runs in both standard and . #2 Captain_NES 17. des. This guide will help get a player on their feet in trying out War Thunder tank warfare. Being based off tank maps they are a mixture of historically accurate and fictional locations. Note that this sacrifices the plane's ability to fight other aircraft so long as these armaments are on the aircraft, and the aircraft's performance in this role varies as they are not designed for the purpose of attacking ground units. 20112022 Gaijin Games Kft. Do note that these are very general descriptions of the tech tree and that individual vehicles present in each nation can have their own characteristics that may differ from the trends. Amateur Writer who loves video games! Challenge your inner-pilot with fun yet sometimes difficult ways to getting experience! This game has amazing potential with one HUGE notable exception: They made the "realism" of a pilot being shot, occur FAR TOO OFTEN. Well first off, you get experience in more ways than one. By All this combined with sub-par armour means the German tanks snare the initiative to prevent the enemy from firing back. This progresses slightly in Rank III-IV with a tank chassis with a 40 mm Bofors gun, which can down planes more reliably but still has an exposed tank crew and low amount of ammo for extended firing. Anti-aircraft vehicles are quite capable, with every single one equipped with autocannons to smack down enemy planes. As such, many conventional tank tactics such as the hull-down position and terrain exploitation (such as hills) are complicated by the lacking gun depression. All this is capped off by the introduction of newer tanks like the infamous "Panther" and "Tiger tanks" in Rank III and IV. It could be missions like escorting convoys, destroying enemy tanks, supporting infantry, and so on. Ahoy everyone! They are only normally available to play in specific game modes / special events, tutorials, or in user made missions. There is no way that you are too stupid for aircraft! All of these maps are based off of real world locations; the level of accuracy varies between maps, but in general they tend to be reasonably accurate to the real world. Congratulations! Shoot the right side because that is where the gunner sits. You could play as Michael Wittman in Villeirs Bocage, or Ernst Barkmann in St.Lo, or participate as a Tiger against the Soviet counter attack at Kursk. For more details on ammo type, see, It should be pointed out that when choosing a vehicle to load into a battle, not every tank in the game is optimal for every situation. As experience is earned while playing the game, the player can choose between realistic or simulator battles for their continued gameplay experience. But the tank AI is abysmal. The goal is to pull the top of the tank, not drag the bottom across the ground. This soon peters out in Rank III to armoured casemates with either a respectable gun or a massive-calibre cannon as seen in the SU series of tank destroyers from the mellow SU-85 to the pumpin' SU-152. Armaments vary from the quite damaging 37 mm guns to the rapid-fire 20 mm autocannons that arm the Panzer II tanks. Mostly exclusive to the United States' and British designs, these turreted designs are typically higher-profile and lighter armoured than the casemate counterparts, but feature greater tactical flexibility and mobility. All trademarks, logos and brand names are the property of their respective owners. Knowing the tank's mobility power can allow for more complicated manoeuvres in rough terrain like steep hills and river-bogged areas to get around predictable road routes that may have enemy in sight. Change the fuel amount in fuelAmount If the number is set to 1 all fuel tanks in the plane will be full, if it is set to 0.5 then it will have 50% of available fuel. For this penalty in armour, mobility may or may not be enhanced as well. Some of these vehicles can be destroyed even by fighters. Past the starter tanks onto BR ~3.0 in Rank II, the access to the famous T-34 tanks will show the heavily-angled sloped armour on not just the front armour, but the sides and rear as well. Some American vehicles such as the M4A1 and the M10 are available to supplement the odd French tanks. Protecting the capture point requires a good knowledge of your tank's strengths and the environment to find good vantage areas and cover. Anti-air vehicles in the British tree are often lacklustre in firepower, earlier ones relying on either regular machine guns or the large 0.50 cal ones before switching over to more reliable autocannons. The game is relatively large online, usually 50-100 thousand players in 2023. Don't bother with them. By Rank III, more powerful armaments such as the 85 mm are available that can make short work of many tanks, but the presence of more powerful enemy tanks, while Soviet tanks are still using the same armour as Rank II, mean that enemies will have an easier time knocking out Soviet tanks. At the rank, Italian tree gets its iconic armoured car design in form of R3 T20 FA-HS SPAA. The one thing that stay unique for most early Italian tanks is their upgraded high-normalization APHE shell, which gives them upper hand at longer ranges compared to other factions that use similar APHE shell, although at point-blank range these shells aren't any better than normal ones. Scenario of the test missions. Some SPAA are able to defend themselves against ground targets such as the German Ostwind, the British Falcon and the Soviet ZSU-57-2, but these are last ditch weapons. Bead-lining a straight path towards the objective could run into open, exposed areas where the enemy could fire upon with ease. For any newcomers, Arcade mode is recommended as there will be assist markers available for shell trajectory and penetration indication that helps new players understand where their shots will go at long range, and what tanks they could handle. Crew information can be reached on the left drop-right menu on the screen with the middle button for the selected crew (under "Vehicle Information" and above the "Favourite Achievements" button). As such, while these tank destroyers are lightly armoured, probably slow, and most likely of high-profile construction, they provide firepower nearly unparalleled to the matches they can fight in. The main exception is the P.7.T AA, an anti-aircraft armed tractor, and the AMR.35 ZT3, a light, manoeuvrable tank destroyer. By the Rank V, a new mechanic called "Hydropneumatic suspension" allows for more flexibility in the positioning of Japanese tanks to ambush enemies from locations that are unorthodox in tank placements. All trademarks, logos and brand names are the property of their respective owners. In tier 1 however, the T-50 is best employed in pincer movements where its excellent armour and high speed come into their own. Well now you can, in War Thunders single player and co-op missions. From there, the tutorials titled "Tank Control Basis" and "Tank Gunnery" should be completed, with a bonus in currency added once completed. I finally decided to do some single missions today . It's so incredibly awful, so blatantly broken, that I actually deleted the game. Tech Tree trends: The following 51 pages are in this category, out of 51 total. However, firepower on these tank destroyers are often of a league of the next rank's equivalent, such as the Rank III Nashorn being equipped with an 88 mm cannon that does not begin to appear on tanks until the next rank up. It's never really been something I thought I'd be very interested in, but I kept feeling like I wanted something more. This is done because after opening an engagement, the enemy downrange will be focused on locating the origin of the attack to eliminate the threat. Average at everything. Most importantly, the Binoculars view position is from the Commander point of view, which is nearly always higher than the Gunner view ("Sniper mode" in the controls option), allowing you to scan and spot above obstacles and hills without exposing more than your cupola. A drop down menu should appear, with "Tutorials" appearing fourth from the top. They are accessible in a menu on the right side of the Hangar user interface, under the "Events & Tournaments" tab. Glass-cannon casemate structures Early British tanks are also burdened by a nonexistent reverse speed, especially in their Cromwell chassis. Create custom battles to challenge you and your friends by going up against all odds or devastating the enemy! While i was browsing over the mission titles i thought it would be kind of cool to have some single missions for GF also. Even the highest penetrating shells on the reserve tanks cannot engage most tanks of their tier from the front. While a few more lightly-armoured, open-topped tank destroyers exist by Rank IV, the solid armoured casemate designs remain a prominent figure in the Soviet tech tree. Flexibility is the key of the medium tanks, giving you free rein in what you will do to dominate the battlefield. 20112022 Gaijin Games Kft. Rank IV introduces some of the more popular French tanks of the game such as the Lorraines and the AMX tank series. These tanks are easy to penetrate and are destroyed quickly. If coordinated, this would force the enemy to engage in two different directions, the front where the main force would be, and the sides where the flanking force is. Progression is restricted by two factors in the tech tree, vehicle unlock criteria per rank and vehicle branch connection. The tree is complemented by US tanks for their low and medium tiers, as early as rank II and until rank V, Mostly on the medium Tank line. The only exception is at Rank VI, where OTOMATIC, based on OF-40 chassis, is introduced, being SPAA, which is not only capable of defeating an entire squadron of pilots on its own, but is also capable of defeating an actual medium tank squad with APFSDS. Tanks are my first love though in this game and have a amassed 24000 tank to tank kills now in SIM. You should have some open though. Starters: Most SPAA do not have the same armour as a tank, so the SPAA should stay back behind the attacking force to stay safe from enemy fire and yet blast away any plane attempting to strafe your allies. I say: At that time Jabos were a big threat to the tanks. To add to this, the Type 90 also has one of the highest penetrating sabot round in the game, meaning while the journey to the top may be hard, it could be quite rewarding with a potent vehicle and a huge reserve of game skills. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. By Rank II however, all of Britain's anti-air crew compartments are decently protected from enemy fire that can allow for closer protection of the fighting groups. Thats really about it sadly. Turreted Peek out the other side of the cover or reposition for a better chance at survival. Armour is often averagely thick, but have huge unevenly angled plates, that could be easily penetrated even when tank itself is angled. By Rank IV onwards, armour has taken a backseat while firepower and mobility becomes the prime focus of addition. Their armament has terrible penetration, but the shells have good explosive content. While still firing solid-shot, the cannon can penetrate most, if not all, of its peers' armour. However, different design aspects on these tanks lead to different doctrines within the same class. Upgrading each trait in a crew tab with the earned Crew XP Points would add a 0.5 point to the overall crew level. Armoured casemate structure What does Microsoft's cross-play move really mean? As well as being used in combined arms battles, some are also used as standalone maps in air battles (AB, RB & SB), in these cases the tank battles area forms part of the scenery of the map.

Naval Air Maps These maps are the Air Battles area of their respective Naval Maps. British tank destroyers take up an odd niche of supplying much needed firepower, but in many different manners, forcing you to change tactics and adapt to constant design swaps, such as the odd 3 inch Gun Carrier, the rear-facing Archer, mobile Achilles and Avenger, Shoot'n'scoot Charioteer Mk VII, heavily armoured Tortoise, the big-bang slinging FV4005 and so on. Some of them you can't even finish due to physics changes with some of the updates. Maps tend to be 65 km x 65 km, although some are smaller and some are bigger. Now, it is time to select the game mode for the match. I have tried to add a poll . Point of attachment: if you want to roll a tank back on its tracks, attach the hook at the top (aiming with the mouse and pressing the hook key), then drive perpendicular to its tracks. A good mindset to have is to not view exposure as a mere state, but rather as a conscious, active decision. One or two spawn depending on vehicle type.
