ok so when it comes to playing ground RB in general is difficult especially getting kills and spotting enemy tanks is
i was playing USSR 6.7 BR with the T-44 and the IS-2’s the original one and the 1944 version
and if i stay still trying to wait for enemy tanks i would not be helping at all and if i go past the cap points even if i am in the flank i end up blown up
i just don’t know what to do at all and YT tutorial does not help either
Is your problem spotting tanks, or spotting tanks and then killing them?
It takes time for your eyes to adjust to see movement, or tanks that are hidden. Map knowledge also becomes critical, as you want to understand where most players tend to go. Here is a good resource by another user: http://warthunder-heatmaps.crabdance.com/
I played for about 2 months before I felt comfortable, where I can spot tanks or movement. That vision comes with time from playing. Did you have issues before you reached 6.7 or just now? Maybe move back to a 5.7 lineup and play there while you get more experience at seeing the battlefield.
The other big factor, is monitoring the battle around for your situational awareness. Good headphones, help as you can generally hear enemies before you see them. The other is note the names of teammates near you and monitor the kill feed and map. See one of your teammates die, note where and what type of vehicle destroyed them. This can be helpful as it tells you the enemy is near or watching a spot on the battlefield, but it also tells you if it’s a IS-3, that it has a long reload and may allow you to move or get a shot.
About your current lineup, they are not my favorites. The IS-2 have good guns, but a slow reload. Makes it tough if you miss your shot, as now you have to hide and wait for a follow up shot. The T44 is ok, although I prefer the T44-100.
The other issue, which is common to most Soviet/Russian tanks are the lack of gun depression which is always a problem at least for me. Makes me have to watch the terrain and judge where I can best make a shot. On hilly maps, pushing to the top in order to get your guns to bear, highlights you now and makes you a big target.
Lastly, getting critical hits (or any hits), taking caps, repairing teammates, can gain you just as many points as just killing tanks.
it’s about spotting tanks and killing them and i basiclly have 0 clue on where the expected enemy location might be and i end up being blown up from where i don’t expect them
struggling to kill or to spot them?
also 6.7 is a sealclub BR. lots of veteran players like myself will often go to that BR in a certain few vehicles and dominate a lobby for easy SL. sometimes you just wont have a chance against players
i have had this problem a long time ago and i was busy grinding Soviet top tier jets and by the time i did that i just did not play ground for some time
what can i do in that case i just struggle even in reserve BR so really idk what do i do and like i said if i stay in the backline i am just as usless to the team and pushing beyond the Frontline will end me up in the hanger
i don’t really need a headphones since i can hear them just fine when they are close the problem is the long range open maps
the link itself is broken can you send me a new one ?
you can either go back down to 5.7 and grind past 6.7, it will take a long time though. or you can have a trial by fire against early stabilised tanks, ATGMs and jet CAS from better players, it will help you improve by facing better enemies because you have to really fight for frags.
you will eventually learn common engagement spots and vantage points on maps. Dont forget to to protection analysis on common tanks to face so you know where to shoot
All I can suggest is to just continue to play ground. Don’t worry about kills, and don’t worry about your team. Just play, follow the herd and contribute when you can. It will come eventually.
I suggest you upgrade the “Keen Vision” crew skill as gaijin decided to make things become invisible to both the eyes and ears if you dont upgrade it enough.
