I fly to spade my plane and get as far away from ARB as possible for the rest of my time in WarThunder.

These days I mostly fly ARB for:
- Very good SL (I take out a Crusader because it’s busted in downtiers)
- I want to spade a plane and being given match rewards immediately, even if stock performance sucks, allows me to make the plane usable contrasted to 90 minute match with 10K RP done fully stock
- I want to unlock a new plane faster for whatever reason
As such, I’ve taken to flying rather aggressively. I know that the proper way to fly would be to take it slow and methodical, keep altitude and engage enemies in order of threat/impact.
However, going for vulnerable (but low impact) enemies means much easier/faster progression, so given my goals - I started doing this.
Classic case is full afterburner crusader towards a blue base, throwing my 4 missiles at the premium napalm bombers and RTBing. This gives me some very nice silver lions for basically no effort but barely helps my team.
I do this because it gives me the SL/planes/modules to play my preferred game mode with minimum effort elsewhere.

Air kills first, win later. It’s all about the grind.

I go after whoever is presenting the biggest threat to me. Diving out to go after some nigh useless attacker instead of fighters at my altitude is just not something I do. So I have to say I want a victory first and foremost.

Well said mate.
Lol RunaDacino…you know exactly what you’re doing for sure.
Well put mate.
Also, even for someone that is playing for strictly airkills, diving after the first attacker you see is one of the first noob mistakes…decreasing their chance for kills throughout the whole match.
Often, if you were to dive after the first attacker, every noob on the planet is going to be firing over your shoulder, making you the kill LOL.
Thank you mate.

In air RB I’m generally good enough at most BRs to get a lot of kills and simultaneously help team mates so by getting kills it’s indirectly towards victory but sometimes I’ll be fighter escort for bombers depending on the BR as that can be pretty lucrative too with how target fixed bomber hunters are.
Now in ground RB I’m not that good until fairly recently so I’ve always prioritized gathering intelligence so my team mates who are good can clean up. As of recent I’ve been getting better so I’m transitioning more towards getting kills and securing parts of the map but I still like the support role.

Kills.
I just don’t have fun if I can’t get player kills because I had the audacity to use tactics, while the enemy team lawnmowed and all died before I could do anything. And having to fight my own team over who gets kills is one of the worst experiences in WT.
Prop RB is dead because the players aren’t good enough, and don’t care enough.

Wow dude, that’s cool. I wish I had a tank so I could use some of my , “what would be good” CAS planes with some great ordinance, surprisingly enough the F16, and Mig29smt believe it or not have great ground packages. But Ive taken some test runs in tanks and it reminds me of Atari from the 80s. lol
Thank you for your contribution mate.

I fight for my team, no matter what.

I get that. That is why I asked this question.
My fun and strategy comes from seeing who needs to be killed first. I will pass over planes and probably should have 800 or so more airkills because Im going to get those two people or so who do not need to be left standing at the end. Also, while my aim is iffy at times, one thing Ive always been able to do from day 1 is use my control surfaces, flaps, energy, I get the 3D pretty well.
I like a pilot that is going to give me a flying challenge more than anything. I like to get on their six and smoke their ***Thats why, even though I have planes with the powerful missiles, I still gravitate towards BR 9 on down.
Hmmm…so many different perspectives you can see why all the petty arguments start over planes are best…etc.
Thank you for your valued contribution Ion_Protogen.
BTW, your nick always reminds me of, and I didnt like cartoons as a kid, but liked this one,–Aeon Flux…for some reason. That was one cartoon I liked because it was intelligent as you are, and the movie was good too.
Good Luck Mate

Hell Yeah
I fly for victory. Many of my friends know that I value my win rate more than my KB&KD. It’s always harder and more entertaining to win than to kill. And it needs more thinking, as well as strategy. Thinking about strategy is fun. Suddenly I feel that “everything is under my control”, everything is going just as I planned. It feels…good.

Usually if im an f4 I take bombs so that I can hit a base or ground at low altitude targets then turn around to get my rear aspect missile shots

Kills help secure a victory, so in that regard, both.
That said, the only thing I truly seek in a game overall is fun.
No fun = no play.

Yes mate, I actually found this game on a semester break while I was looking for a online chess game back in Beta…I ran across this game, and believe me, Im not a gamer, and I was like Wow! This is the only game Ive ever played.
I always loved planes even as a kid.
Maybe youre one of those last two or three at times, and a pesky enemy…all working together to kill their ***'s…I will agree with you, its satisfying.
But have been in the “just get an airkill” crowd too, and so I appreciate everyone’s opinion. Luckily, I dont have to do that anymore.
Thank you so much for your contribution mate and Good Luck to You.
