This is what the AI suggested for the 80 fires on enemies Task
To set enemy vehicles on fire in War Thunder, using aircraft with potent incendiary ammunition is indeed an excellent strategy. Here are some recommendations to help you complete your challenge efficiently:
Aircraft Selection
American Aircraft
The P-47 Thunderbolt series is an excellent choice for this task. These aircraft are equipped with eight .50 cal machine guns that can be loaded with API-T (Armor-Piercing Incendiary-Tracer) rounds. The high rate of fire and large ammunition capacity make them ideal for starting fires.
Soviet Aircraft
Consider using the IL-2 Sturmovik series. These ground attack aircraft are armed with 23mm or 37mm cannons that fire HE-I (High Explosive Incendiary) shells, which are highly effective at igniting fuel tanks and engines.
British Aircraft
The Spitfire Mk Vc/trop is a strong contender. It can be equipped with four 20mm Hispano cannons firing SAPI (Semi-Armor Piercing Incendiary) rounds, which are excellent for starting fires.
Tactics
Target Fuel Tanks: Aim for the rear of tanks or the wings of enemy aircraft where fuel tanks are typically located.
Engine Fires: For ground vehicles, target the engine compartment, usually located at the rear or front depending on the vehicle.
Sustained Fire: Don’t just spray and pray. Concentrate your fire on a single target for a few seconds to increase the chances of ignition.
Ground Attack Missions: Focus on ground attack missions where you’ll encounter more targets susceptible to catching fire.
Ammunition Selection: Always ensure you’re using ammunition with incendiary components (API, HE-I, or SAPI).
Additional Tips
The F-82E Twin Mustang with its gunpod can be devastating, offering 14 .50 cal machine guns firing API rounds.
For jet aircraft, the F-84 series with its high ammunition capacity and API rounds can be very effective.
In Ground Realistic Battles, you can use tanks to damage enemy vehicles first, then switch to aircraft to finish them off with incendiary rounds.
Remember, persistence is key. While these methods will increase your chances of setting vehicles on fire, it may still take some time to achieve 80 fires. Good luck with your challenge!
Ayoo how the fook do you complete
“Warrior of the three Elements” for air battle? how do you destroy ground vehicle (players) and capture zone? wtf is this??? do I need to play Arcade for this?
Yeah, you have to develop your reading skills for “Gaijinese” with a lot of things in the English version of the game, but you get used to it after a bit… . lol. And definitely have to do Air AB for the plane portion of the Challenge. Any Domination map will do, but ideally you get an “Air Conquest” map. You can rush to either side to do a touch n go to cap, bank inwards and there will be some soft ground targets nearby, pop one of those and then find a red plane to shoot. Usually pretty simple. For naval Coastal might be best, either mode as the differences in RB & AB are slight in naval, compared to planes & tanks. And the ground portion I guess just play whichever mode you like/do best in for that one. It’s not terribly difficult but can take some time to complete.
good Luck
