For Tip #3: Don’t hit the brakes when you encounter an enemy, but don’t hold the “w” key either. Instead, let go of the “w” key and let your tank slowly drift to a stop. This will minimize the bounce in your gun. That’s actually what I did in the video at 1:54, although it wasn’t explained very well. Also, if you’re unable to penetrate an enemy frontally and you have no way of getting around to the side, shoot the enemy’s barrel which will disable it from firing.

A dude with almost 600 subs explains wt combat better than 90% of the big channels

If only this video existed when I started playing...

“Fire on the move” A pebble jerking my tank up to point at the sky RIGHT BEFORE I pull the trigger

I had a moment when I was firing on the move. I accidentally had HE on, but a dip in the road made my shot go under a PzIV, killing him

Frontally, sometimes shooting out the barrel is your best bet. For side shots, if you don’t think you can oneshot, sometimes going for the breach is better than the gunner. Against people rounding corners, the front sprocket of the side facing you. A bit dependent on what you’re fighting. But can be easier to hit than the barrel at times.

4000 hours, level 100 and there’s a lot I can still learn thanks dude! 😆

one if the things that massively helped me in urban combat is, if in doubt just hold the angle, i remember when i was getting used to ground rb i kept on blindly charging and dying to people around corners, and this helped me to slow down my very aggresive playstyle

I'd suggest crippling a turretless tank by taking out it's ability to move. If you don't know where the weak points are then destroy the barrel. The frontal armor is most likely insanely thick. The sides though are gonna be your best bet at taking one out

Re Tip 3, just let go of the throttle, or your W key. Don't need to keep holding it, in fact it can be detrimental to continue holding it rather than letting go.

Jägers: “Sherman’s slow turret traverse.” Me laughs in turret traverse of 19.6°/second

Amazing tips and well made video, I have one more tip to add: Be a rat, no matter what tank you are, take tight corners or find shadowed/dark areas near enemy movement routes to hide in. I did this with my tiger 1, 6 kills. Be a ratty rat.

spawn camping rat lol

"You should've gone for the head" - Thanos. Always go for the head if you know your gun can pen it. Especially if you have HEAT, which has high pen but sub-par post pen damage.

Great Video, however instead of calling the 4th Point "Flanking" i'd call it brawling since flanking is when you try to get behind or atleast next to enemy support lines to cut them off and stop them from resupplying tanks to the caps

Great video, I do all these things when I play, it works. Also, spawn camping is apart of the game, abuse it. nobody is gonna hesitate to do it to you.

Hopefully my enemies never watch this video so they won't swam me when i am the only one

one tip to instantly boost your performance is to turn down your personal engine volume all the way and leave other engines at 100

Solid video. Basically everything I know about CQB in 3k hours of suffering in this game. Only bit I'd add is when shooting casemates, tanks without turrets, shooting their engine is a good method of shutting them down. Going for barrels is sometimes all you can do in a situation and in unlucky scenarios where you're surely done for, fight until you can no longer. Sometimes your attempts to extend your life are met with teammates coming to your aid and saving you.

#9 has to be the most valuable, yours ears can pick up what your eyes can’t

These are some of the best tips out there, to the point, informative and useful.

As 3500h veteran I can confirm, dat basic knowledge

I think it’s also important to note the position of the enemy gunner, cause I’ve gone for turret shots so many times with AP shells and just killed the loader/commander.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” - Sun Tzu (good quote for tip #11)

That was an impressive match right there. I thought stopping and firing was always the way to go, but i guess i was proven wrong. Thank you for this great demonstration.

Great video man in urban battles, i get 1-2 kills on average. Now, i get about 3-6 kills!!! Thank you man!! everyhelpful!!!:DDDdd

love it, a really high-quality video. Just saw this on my home page randomly and have now watched a lot of your vids, can't wait to see this channel grow.

Great tips from old tanker that play World of Tanks for 9 years and was in a great Clan Celts from all over the world

See, if the Panzer IV knew that the T-34 was faster than him, he would've reverse sidescraped using the building when you were chasinf him, catching you off-guard and killing you

thank you so much for the tip with the "C" key, I have searched so long for the key bind

This video is like the crash course for the dregs of the scoreboard. Very well done.

I'm usually dubious about "X tips for Y" videos, but this was great. Eight or nine of the 11 tips were new advice to me. Thanks for the video!

Awesome tips, keep up the good work!

another tip, if youre a long term player, bind a key for cruise control. mine is set to E and i dont have to hold W the whole way to a cap point.

Most of this I learned the hard way after a couple dismal years of playing but a lot of it you need to be reminded of from time to time.

Great tip video! this is perfect for me, as I struggle with urban combat in my Shermans and M10. Ty! :>

maybe u should try captain view where u press z to zoom when at third person view , its very useful when corner engage, it allow u to aim quicker since third person view will be block by corner building while u actually can fire and ur turret and UFP already exposed, but captain view are more close to ur gun barrel and ur corner view barely being block

Cruise control is very effective at keeping your gun from wobbleing a lot. When expecting to face enemies it is a good strategy to choose a constant speed with it where your gun can still be kept somewhat stable. It is important to switch gears instead of tapping w or s if you want to speed up or slow down. They cause mutch less wobble and can give you the few seconds of advantage you need to shoot before your enemy does.

This is a pretty good video overall, as a player who has more than 5000 hours in the game i will say that you will get to know all of this tips and tricks automatically, after you die enough times from not using them XD; i want to make a little specification for all the "angling, and shoot the weakpot, and don't shoot at angled armor", this is something that for someone who doesn't know how physics works might be a bit hard to understand and might not be as intuitive; altough i understand that a lot of people who play this game might not care how physics works and just want to play the game, so yeah, don't get discouraged and keep learning ! P.S. As of shooting barrels in this game : there are 2 ways to destroy them reliably, 1) shoot the muzzle brake at the end of the barrel, (this is the biggest surface you'll see when the enemy tank is aiming at you) 2) shoot the barrel side on ( at about 90 degrees angle) these are the only 2 option i saw working, as if you are facing the enemy and the enemy is not aiming straight at you, ( so the barrel is aming to your side) and you try to shoot the barrel, your bullet will simply ricochet/disappear, this can also happen from time to time if you shoot the enemy's barrel head on, but the server de-sync makes the bullet just disappear or not do anything

Thank you for the tips which will help me.

As TD german player i love overlooking a possible flanking spot and snipe a (i fiddling hate it) ASU 57 or random enemy tank tried to flank around. Or R3 tried to do tomfoolery

I love how you can get within ball sniffing distance of the enemy spawn and not be on their radar but I can be 89 mailed away and I’m lit up on their radar like a Christmas tree

Thanks for the advice

On the account of rule #10, with tanks with extremely high penetrating APDS or APFSDS rounds, shooting the rear of a tank through the engine will oftentimes one shot the crew, as the round will have enough penetration to go clear through the engine deck (creating a lot of spalling) and straight through the crew compartment. This is oftentimes the better place to shoot a tank in the rear when you have said ammunition loaded.

The first practical advice video.

Great tips! I learned #3 the hard way

i have 500 hours on wt, but it was THIS VIDEO that got me my first nuke. I watched this 2 days ago and follow the "dont rush obj" tip on a wimp. thank you

I have close to 3000 hours in War Thunder and still learned a thing or two. Great job just continue with this good work 😎👍

Appreciate it bro👍

Thank you bro,im gonna finish the german tech now

6:45 SideScraping is bad because they have a higher chance of hitting your tracks or frontal armor at a flat angle, do what I call "FrontScraping" instead, its basically the same as SideScraping except you use your frontal armor instead, its better because its more reliable and makes it easier for you to reverse out of a position or peak out. It even works at top tier with some vehicles that dont have their tracks out as much like the Abrams.

good work bro

Getting good headphones and using the "stop engine" button helps a ton.

Urban warfare is such a nightmare

I learnt a lot.

8:13 massive W for choice of browser

1500 hours ingame but still your video managed to attract my attention,keep making more quality content.(+1 sub)

The r3 double cannon is awesome to rush points and defend, 100% of game everybody is flanking and no one is seen on the points, literally everyone flanks and goes everywhere but the point

Finally, someone who has a almost identical play style as me! I can’t stand sitting around and sniping so instead i just got really good at brawling. Who needs stabilizers when the suspension and gunner do the work for you

Tip Go for a disable shot :Barrel breach or engine or track and then kill

Good video can you make a similar urban fighting video for 8.0?

I use the headphones ability, to help me while playing an SPAA. Due to this, I am very good at it.

I already do this stuff but I clicked on the video to make sure.

Tip 8 is generally a good idea. However, it only works until you see solid shot. You gotta know you, your enemy and the corpse that you're hiding behind.

nice video!

The Pz IV had the reaction time of a slug

I bet you got this tip alot but one tip is to know your ammo and how it works like he having no pen but tons of overpressure killing open tops easily or solidshot not having lost of area damage on the inside of tanks. And another is bring the right amout of ammo gotten kills and killed by another tank having to much ammo and ammo racking a buddy some tanks also increases survivability a good amount. And another that you kinda started but could clarify is if someone is behind you don't panic butt armor is good or better 90% of the time stay cool and don't show your side. I have gotten countless kills on tanks that I flank that show there side cause they panic to try and get there front around to get me when if they stayed still they probably would have survived. Last is laughed more it sounds silly but this game can be frustrating and when your mad odds are you don't play well and don't have fun and you can make the game a worse place for others. Have other tips but its more of hill combat than cqb but interms of cqb you have done a great job with this video.

Now I know why I'm a good CQC player. I love city maps

I love how you made this in one continuous battle and not in seperate clips so we get the full understanding! It seems like im the only one that noticed. Also, i love this part 8:28 😂 Edit: You had a perfect opportunity at 10:40 to make tip 10.5; turn your entire vehicle 180⁰ so the enemys shell gets caught in your engine and doesnt have a chance of even penetrating your front.

Impressive video! ❤ Too bad I’ve spent way too much time on this game. One tip I’ll add is that weak spots are your best friend. If you spend the time to find out what tanks you’re facing, and learn their weak spots in the menu, you’ll have a huge advantage. One example is when facing american Pershing tanks, as their frontal armor and turret are extremely thick. However, they can be easily killed when shot in their mg port or on their lower front plate near the tracks. Extra tip for my german mains: Use your smokes! They are extremely helpful for getting out of sticky situations, or isolating 1v1s. Especially in the higher BRs!

After countless prayers to the snail his wish shall be granted, sooner or later the snail will answer!

Regarding not rushing capture points as a cqc enthusiast, it's rather more of a high risk high reward method to go for the capture point instead and force your enemies to get as close as possible while on it to demolish them Often if you pull it off correctly you can basically remove about 1/5th to 1/3rd the enemy team right at the start of the match especially at premium vehicle spam brs where many of them are still 1 death leavers which is stupidly helpful for overall winning a match Even without the 1 death leaver blessing that is premium spam tier, it is still a huge dent to the enemy team to completely ruin the opening moments which can make or break a game especially so at top tier, because it can result in completely overrunning them should you have even remotely competent teammates that can take advantage of it

good video

Can you do a video on open space combat?

,,Where tanks rein supreme" CAS: Ima end this mans whole career

has sides craping become more viable? i remember it use to not be very effective in war thunder

For tip #10 I wouldn't say you should always do that you should always use it. In the example you showed a shot for the gunner by the pz4 would definitely be the right choice, because u already saw him and ur turret was almost swinged towards him. But in other situations shooting the engine from behind is better. Not only if it's a tank destroyer with no or slow turret, but also if it's a fast tank thag could runaway and cause trouble or if it's a tank with good frontal armor as he could turn around and be hard to pen until he reloades his gunner. Also it depends on the round, with the t34 i would confidently go for the hull shot on the pz4 as the round has som much tnt that id be 100% hed die in one shot.

1:12 and that exactly how i got caught by 3 other enemy tanks while my teammates busy taking points😂

Nice video, 6.7 usa/soviet enjoyer here, what are your favorite BR’s?

Your HE Shell: "Am i a joke to you?"

For the tips C is for all Frensh Tank too learn to fire while moving

I really agree with this video the tips are good like really good as a idiot i flanked the points so we could win but then got killed because i was a light tank .thanks for the tips😃

All great tips to be honest. Although the part about not going for caps I disagree. It could be great for flanking, but they could also very easily get you without teammates as backup. How many hours do you have in the game?

not disagreeing but on tanks like a panther D, perhaps going for the engine when attacking from the rear is best as their turret is so slow they can't get around to you fast enough and now they can't run away.

As a l3/CC urban combat is a win.

nice tips but are you planning to make tips for top tier as well?

bro im glad that i can even get into battle with my tiger without spending 20 minutes travelling

as a level 10 with only 110 hours, thank you

Yo, u really like your videos, in your opinion what's the best top tier nation, I'm 5.7 Russia but I don't like russian top tier, should I continue with Russia or start with USA

I play on Xbox, so would you have any (additional) tips due to a controller having like 100 less buttons?

My tism demands I point out that Tanks were used fairly often in Urban combat to support infantry. Turns out having big fuck off gun that can react faster than you can call arty or CAS for help is useful, surprisingly. Hell, Most nations had modifications (Germany, The USSR, America, as some examples) that were primarily designed for extending the lift spans of their tanks in an urban setting.

Yes but even if it’s best to fire on the move what about STAB

on issue with the 'hiding behind corpse', they can be easily penned by kinetic rounds so it is not as amazing of an armor

Nothing exemplifies this game more than fighting in tiny villages in tanks designed to engage targets at over 1km

Tip #12: make your engine quietter in audio options.

13:18 or you can just go to another tech tree, preview the tank you're having a hard time trying to destroy and use the armour penetration system to know certain weak spots or just look at its' stats. Takes less time on going to a browser

What tanks to use for this kind of strategy?

The second shot on the Pvkv at 9:10 should have been HE. Way too many people underestimate HE of lower calibers

was here since ur 371 sub

Bruh lets be honest, your enemies had skill issue on another level, anyway great vid buddy❤.
