Just check my stats. I suck. I’ve been trying for 3 years to improve but nothing has worked. I’m starting to hate the game and the community. Everyone says the same things over and over again; “play more”, “use headphones”, “watch videos”, “let me teach you”, “play smart”, “use binoculars”, “try low tier” etc. I have tried every damn thing possible, and it’s all of no use. I mostly play ground RB because I suck at naval, and suck at aviation. But honestly I think I suck even more at ground. I’m at 8.0 Germany but gave up as I couldn’t afford repair costs so can only play like 1-2 matches every week. I’ve been trying low tier but keep running into the same issue of not being able to afford repair costs the moment I get to 2.0+. I’ve tried France, USA, and Russia in the past and got to around 5.7 for those before it got too hard. I’m currently trying out Sweden and have reached 2.7 in about two weeks which feels like slow progress. Everyone says that Sweden is good but I find it to be the worst low tier in the game by a mile.
At this point I’m wondering if I had just wasted 3 years of my life and if I should go see a doctor in case I have any medical conditions preventing me from improving and playing normally.

I think now the important next step is to offer game play material so we can give you a qualified answer.
You are already aware of the issues, which is more than you can say about many others.
I’m not a good pilot either, however finding your niche is a way to stay in the game.

I used to play arcade when I started but switched to Realistic two years ago. Sometimes I do go back to arcade but I can’t get any kills there because everyone can see me.
How do you get killed ?
Maybe you should just try and stay behinde your team and take relax position.
Depend on your gameplay. But always fell free to leave.
It just a game and you can alway try other game in your free time
Maybe you can chare a link to a replay we can watch to give you some tips?
If you log in to the main war thunder website, click “community”, click “replays”, check the “Replays including my participation” checkbox and click search to see all your5 most recent matches. Once you find one you want to share you can click the “Copy the replay link” bottom left and paste it here on the forum. Everyone can then view the match in-game to see if they have any more specific tips for you :)
How are your crew levels?
Okay i’m doing that right now. wdym by crew levels?
Your crew level in your tanks.
These help so much stuff.
I don’t know, but I do add those crew points every so often.
Did you put them on the right skills ?
Like realod or turret rotaion ?
yeah i do reload and commander skills. and driver too
Good and also what br are you having problem ?
every br. there’s no one br i’m good at. i even get smoked in reserve against lvl 5 players lol.
Can you tell me what tactics do you often use.
I am on the phone cant watch the replays sadly
usually it depends on the tank, but i like to move along the borders to flank the enemy, or i stay slightly behind the front lines and try to support teammates from behind cover. i prefer light and medium tanks to heavy ones.
Try to no flank. You will face 4 to 6 enemy and you cant fight back.
Also dont play rank 1 to 3. Try some br where its more easy for you to learn.
I would suggest something like a 4.0 or 8.0 br.
Also no top tier. Max is 10.3, 11.0 if you pushing it.
okay i will try those, thanks!
Try to stay in one place and dont move.
Play as a sniper not as a assault tank.
When you have and earned the aim control and know where to shoot.
Thats where you can start exploring other tactics.
In my personal opinion the most important ones are:
-
Tank Driving (your tank reacts faster to your inputs and has an easier time accelerating and turning)
-
Keen vision (effect how far away from you enemies are rendered in, if your crew can’t see the enemy then they won’t be shown on your screen)
-
Targeting (effects how fast your turret turns and aims)
-
Weapon reloading (effects reload speed)
and then the survival ones:
-
Field Repair (effects repair speed when your tank is damaged)
-
Agility (how fast your crew switches places with each other if one of them gets knocked out)
-
Vitality (How much damage a crew can take before being knocked out)
Try to spread out the survival and keen vision ones as they count the average of all your crew.
Avoid the “Leadership” one! It costs way more XP to put points into than you get out of it compared to just putting things in the other options.
My best personal tip is to play slow and sneaky, if you stand still and don’t move your turret you are less likely to get spotted by enemies, standing behind bushes and hills also help with this. Use your binoculars to look around, they increase the distance you can spot enemies and you don’t rotate your turret so you will yourself get spotted less often.
Try to look at some vehicles in the protection analysis to see where the most common weakspots are and then aim for those in matches.
