So I have a KDR under 0.5, which by normal means is bad. This is for Ground RB, but I think my Air stats are slightly better. I hope to increase my KDR, because every time I comment saying that the Panther should not get higher in BR, they say I suck and don’t deserve to talk. I have tried flanking, and pretty much everything but it simply doesn’t work the way I can get kills in Air. I tend to be below 7th place, but in Air I get to at least 7th or up. Is there a good way to get better, but not the common things they say. I would love if you would send me maps and their flanking locations.
Is your K/D really so important for you?
If you want to know where enemy is going, check how your teammates behave - enemy will behave in same way in next battle on this map. Or you can simply check server replays from your previous battles, you will see how enemy moves, where did he mange to spot you.

Dear Stona,
It is not important for me; it is just that some people value it so much that they ignore me when I say something. I just don’t like that.
There is no need to discuss with everyone on forum. If someone judge you by your K/D simply ignore his post. World will not collapse, you will have calm mind and will be able to discuss with rest of the people on arguments, not on K/D.
That of course doesn’t mean you should not learn maps or how to play specific vehicle - but imho the reasons should be different than “he joke from my K/D”. Be above that :)

The easiest way to get your KD up is to camp hull down more lol

I was looking at your vehicle stats using StatShark - See All Player, Missile, and Vehicle Statistics and my only idea as to increase your KDR is to play more conservative and angle your tiger. I can’t give you any more info without seeing a replay or smth, but it shows your top used vehicle is the puma, so I assume you rush cap and die. After capping, try to hide somewhere and ambush instead of rushing at the enemy with a low power gun.
I know that - this are usually the same guys who mix up (or can’t distinguish between) KpB and K/D.
So as gaijin stated that “the ultimate goal is to kill virtual enemies” (or something like that) when they introduced their (s)kill bonus they admitted also that you play a plain shooter.
So it is logical that “kill-driven” guys see all others with different motivations to play and not so nice stats as food or useless. And to be fair: They are not totally wrong, the sole measurement of playing a shooter is K/D (vs players, not ai).
Therefore: You made a good job with your 190 D-9 question in the Academy section - but in this case your OP is way too broad, you need to specify your branch (Air/Land/Sea), your game mode (AB/RB/SB) and the BR range you want to get better, otherwise you won’t get specific replies.
Honestly, mine’s about the same and I’ve been playing for 7 years in September,
I honestly agree with you, the Panther series was fine at 5.7, and I actually feel the Panther D is overtiered (but can’t go down either). I really dislike their playstyle and feel they’re much too weak, I rather prefer playing Tigers, and I’m saying this as a British/French main for ground, Panthers are just bad.
Realistically as long as you have fun there’s no need to worry about your KD

Look at me comrade i have shit K/D but there is a thing i can tell you, Every single of those people that brag about K/D i can defeat all at once because K/D doesn’t tranlate to you having developed skills that allow you to find weak points in tank which you don’t even know there hull statistics Or having developed the skills needed to find the time which your tank is going to allow you to peak and withdrawing that time from reloading, Play passive? Get kills but at the instance your Teammates are unable to support you, You will collapse with them, Playing passive doesn’t allow you to Improve, i do not thing anyone with High K/D is able to spot mistakes of War thunder Youtubers that liitterly get paid to play this Flaming pile of Garbage we call war thunder, And let me tell you as final that these people are Useless.
Besides what Stona says, if you find yourself struggling with more giving than getting, or you can’t end a game in the top half of the score board, then you may be playing at too high a BR/Tier for your skill level and experience (map knowledge etc) and may need to drop back. Low-Tier III is where a lot of hi-level/skill (“pro”) players camp out to farm event points. That is likely what you are experiencing.
There are many YouTubers who post game tips and map knowledge content. Those are probably your best bet to study the game.

I am exactly at III heading to IV Thanks.
Do you have any tips for obtaining a nuclear bomb? My KD is not less than 1, but I have played for over 3000 hours and have only obtained a nuclear bomb once, which makes me very distressed
Don’t worry child. I have played for almost a year now, but I am still stuck at ranks III-IV, and I have not gotten a single nuclear bomb. A lot of videos with youtubers getting nukes every single time are wrong; they spend hours playing and only record the battles with nukes, so that they seem better. Invest more time, and go slowly. I mean, go with your teammates not to ‘support’ them, but to use them as your meat shield when your crossing the open. If they get shot, you know where to return fire. Same for your mate. He can help repair and return fire if your shot at.
I do rush cap, but I don’t just J out to fly planes. Sometimes I need more points, so I try to hide behind a wall, kill my engine and wait. But sometimes I get shot at by .50 cals on Shermans and the 50mm can’t pen KVs and all. Good to flank, but I tend to go for the C point, which makes me kind of hard to exposed myself.
I’ve been playing for a bit more than a year. I’ve also never had a nuke before. Closest I’ve ever got was 2486 spawn points before the game ended. Nukes are difficult for a reason. Don’t worry. Just have fun. Happy Hunting!
Thanks
