Have u unlocked a new vehicle and u don’t know how to play it? Are u stock grinding a toptier jet and playing is hard? well, don’t cry anymore cuz here it is the Topic for Aces and Rookies to help each other in anything they need!
Reason
The idea of this topic is to become a safe zone for newbies (or not newbies) to learn everything they want to learn about how to play with their recently unlocked vehicle! I decided to make this to ensure that everybody has a good time playing without raging or feeling they have spent hours or days in something that wasn’t worth their time.
Ending with the introduction, i would want to make sure that everybody gets the help they’re looking for in an organized way, so here it is the way to ask for help!
Airplanes
If u’re looking for that supersonic monster that slings hell over it’s enemies, i recommend u start the request by quoting the word “Airplanes” here in the main topic for ur reply or write it urself and underlining it, this way players can know at the first quick read what u want help with!
Tanks
If u’re looking for that cool and fast metal beasts, i recommend u to start the request by quoting the word “Tanks” here in the main topic for ur reply or write it urself and underlining it, this way players can know at the first quick read what u want help with!
Ships/Warships
If u’re looking for that MASSIVE floating mansion that throws projectiles as big as a factory like they’re peas, i recommend u to start the request by quoting the word “Ships” or “Warships” (or both in a single one: “Ships/Warships”) here in the main topic for ur reply or write it urself and underlining it, this way players can know at the first quick read what u want help with!
If u ever need help with something, remember u have this beautiful topic full of kind people ready to teach u everything u need to make ur WT experience theBEST!
Formatting advice. Feel free to DM me if anyone would like a copy of this reply.
You probably should go ahead and reserve the first reply or two. If you need any help or advice with formatting lwt me know 🙂
I do have one suggestion already though! I would highly suggest using the heading flags! Not only do they look great on desktop and mobile, they allow you to link directly to each section with a header flag. There are 3 or 4 levels of headers, each using one or more # at the start.
You can still use the normal text formatting options if you like, like bold/italic/underlined. Bolding a heading is not really required though as the Heading Flag makes the text look different by itself. I often just let the forum use its default Heading formatting.
Header 1 Bold Header TextItalic Header TextUnderlined Header Text
To show the “markdown” or “code block” thing I just did, you can first use them “in line” by using the “carrot” symbol text or to do a full block/paragraph of unformatted text you use 3 at the top and 3 at the bottom: (Carrot symbol is the top left button on your keyboard, the one to the left of the 1 key)

I will delete OR hide all of this behind a “spoiler” tag later to unclutter your thread 🙂 Going to DM this entire message to you now in case you want to reference it, so I don’t forget for when I probably delete it to declutter. If anyone else would like a DM of this reply as well just let me know.
OH! And then, once you have used any of the “Header Flags” a link icon pops up next to each:
It will take you to a link in your address bar that will take you directly to that specific section of your post: https://forum.warthunder.com/t/how-to-vehicle-and-stock-grinding/316283/4#header-1-1
I will hide it first for a while. I have been thinking of making/searching for a thread just like you mentioned. I have just learned all this stuff by seeing what other people do, and by trial and error 😂

Game Masters! srry if i’m annoying u in this moment, but i would like for any of u to help the players who are struggling with a certain vehicle here in my topic! i would be very very grateful if any of u can help with this random project i wanted to make :)
Thx for ur help and patience!
Stock heat at 12.0 is a terrible terrible experience, my condolences.
What do want to do is not play it like an abrams and rush in head first.
Youre lacking in firepower compared to everyone at that br and most of your enemies will have ERA.
Play like a rat and scavenge RP and your aim has to be true and try to aim very well
Play with your team and try to help as much as possible at least till you get the KEW.
Dont be greedy for rp and over extend on some kills and be patient.
i recommend u to fly low (basically multipath, as u would do with any other aircraft) and use the radar/HMS to launch missiles at anything that comes close.
R-77-1 is a really good missile, just like R-73, but u must use both at relatively close range (around 20km or less, preferiably less), this way u make sure the missile actually hits.
other tip i just discovered a few days ago is that u should “read ur radar”. what that means is that u should see all the VALUABLE information ur radar gives u!
1 is the minimum range u can launch ur missile (in this case, R-77-1).
2 is the NEZ (No-Escape-Zone). if ur target is in within this area, it will be really hard for it to defeat ur missile kinetically, so make sure the enemy plane is inside that little cage to get higher chances of a kill!
3 is the radar-based range/distance of the enemy target respect to ur plane. u should make sure this line is within the NEZ line to increase the chances of a kill.
let’s take a look to other screenshot
in this image, the target is within the NEZ! that means it’s a good idea to launch ur missile since there’s a high chance of it to hit the target!
