⎯⎯⎯⎯ Read before commenting!! ⎯⎯⎯⎯ Frequently asked questions: Q: "Why did you give German CAS such a low score?" A: Germany is limited when it comes to close air support. What do I mean by this? Well, you either have to pick between very slow and large planes with cannons, or nimble fighters with 250kg bombs. While yes, the Messerschmitt and the Dornier ground attackers are very good, you'll get taken out very quickly if an anti-air or an enemy fighter spots you. And as for the fighters, you can only kill 1 or 2 tanks with the limited ordnance you get. And before you ask, yes, the G91 is a good CAS plane. It just comes way too late in the tech tree to have a big impact. Q: "When is part 2 coming out?" A: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNxopqx0yrTHpI0.html Q: "Will you do a plane nation guide?"

This video in a nutshell: Each nation is excellent

German Heavy Vehicles in a nutshell: >Find a good spot and kill 2-3 people >Proceed to have 2000lbs worth of explosives dropped by revenge/random CAS >Repeat

Italy be like: Just a picture of the R3 T20 while unsettling music plays

Correction, Germany has 3 TD lines, the aa line counts as well lmao

"Most Soviet tanks have less than 10 degrees of gun depression" Oh boi you were very generous there lol. I would have said most tanks have less than 5 degrees XD.

"Your speed is your biggest enemy" Puma: "Hold my beer."

"Tiers 4&5 are also where light tanks really start to shine" M22: Hahah.. hah..

This video also doubles as a "how to take out tanks from each nation". Very well made!

The lack of gun depression in Soviet tanks is not an issue, I can supply some of my own

Dad came back from getting milk!

"The German CAS isn't that good" Allied soldiers getting killed by 1,000kg Stuka bombs disagree

Can't wait for the disaster that is French tech tree, their early tiers are at least S rank in terms of absolute *pain* .

**CAS APPEARS** Low tier Sweden: my time has come

"German CAS isn't good" *Sad Stuka noises* (literally)

"T95 is great" >Looks at repair costs >HEAT-FS enemies >Cannon CAS enemies [German player TOM CRUISE LAUGH . MEME]

When navy boat thing shell explained?????? >:(

"German CAS isn't good" *G91 would like to know your location*

Only 4 months between videos this is a true blessing

Everybody gangsta till you realize the Abram's turret isn't symmetrical

lord Doger has delivered a new blessing upon us

Fun fact, during the Second World War America didn’t really focus on heavy armor and firepower because they wanted a multipurpose vehicle that can have multiple roll for example the Sherman had a bulldozer attachment to remove ruble from a battlefield to allow allied units and infantry to push through without slowing down

German: not a lot of CAS options G91s: Let us introduce ourselves...

Basically what I think: Start with America and research all the lineups, grind them all to tier 3 and see what play style you like best. After you figure out which playstyle then move to a nation with tanks that have a majority of what your playstyle is.

Pro-tip with Sherman: use manual transmission control if you want to use the stabilizer. I keep it in 2nd Gear for that.

"You can easily secure the objective, and some oil supplies while you're at it." That had me rolling.

You forgot one point: Germany has a really noob-ish player base. I have seen a E.B.R get scouted on a hill and 3 tiger and 1 puma ignore the guy and advance to a base. The baguette launcher killed all of them and more two guys before changing location

"We aren't supposed to talk bad about German tanks" - Mr. Fletcher

I really enjoyed using the russian KV-2, it has great armour, amazing shells, but terrible driving and reload speed. It is a unique playstyle, which i highly reccomend playing.

One thing to note is that germany gets the me 410 b6 at 5.3 with 2 mk 103s with hvap rounds, that thing if left untouched will literally clean up entire teams

"germany CAS is bad" say that to 8.0+

germany 6.7 br is the definition of pain, you'll be fighting more modern tanks with stabilizers with your older tanks

This looks like a well done PowerPoint presentation

the sponsor gave mone for more high budget animations

This video was really useful! I liked that you really went out and explained all tiers of tech trees and even made conclusion after you explained everything there is to say about each nation. Thank you so much!

-USA spaa should be lower because lack of GOOD mid tier SPAA -Germany CAS should be higher because there is literally a plane for every battle rating that’s pretty good -USSR CAS is not as effective as the other 2 -USSR has same situation with USA with lack of good mid tier spaa.

Let's go finally a new vid

8:42 There are a lot of German cannon birds, and most fighters can carry a 250/500kg bomb. In my opinion, German cas is very powerful if used correctly. Less dump-your-ammo-and-headon-anti-air, and more strike-unexpectedly-and-kill-enemy-attack-planes.

I've been waiting for a video like this for a long time. Well done

Don't forget that if you want to play CAS, you also need those planes researched along with their modifications. War Thunder is an endless grind, but it can be fun once you've gotten through the pain of grinding out a tech tree.

Russia Reserves are super fun. Especially with the busted overpressure system. You can use a reserve I-15 with 50lb bombs and dive bomb once you cap an objective by rushing with the BT-5 or 7, 1 kill, capture objective or just bounce a couple of shells is enough to get you the plane.

GOD HAS COME TO US AND GIFTED this fine video

How did I not get a notification. Anyways: SK DOGER IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS

I've been waiting for a video like this for ages. Thank you so much for making this.

Nice vids dude, love them, keep up the good work!!

skDoger: “the Russians don’t have very good depression angels” Me (a Russian tank main): I took that one personally

Thanks for doing the subtitles.

Waiting for other parts of this video cant wait to hear him talk about the actual broken tanks in wt

A notable tank for Germany you missed is the stug 42 g, one of the best tanks in its teir

good work! keep it up!

I would say the panthers are fast but not very agile. You can get into position fairly quickly in your panther. You just need to watch the terrain and try to go in straight lines. With the added benefit of great hull armor and ok-ish armor on the turret you can do a lot.

I demand part 2 this is just too good

good video Sorry if the grammar in my comment above isn't the best, since I live in Europe, it's difficult for me to speak other languaged than my native one. I am so sorry that I'm not english-speaking and my brain couldn't develop a better solution to execute the form of my comment. I will try to fix this issue as soon as possible, since this is a huge shame concidering that I came here to compliment your video and I couldn't even do that respectfully. I want you to pardon me, and let's hope I won't make similar errors in the future. I am hoping that my english can improve in the future, and I will try to remake this comment when I'm done. The video that I saw above really inspired me and I just want to thank you for making it. It changed my life for the better, and I can't thank you enough for being this kind. I am actually sorry for the sins I made before I hope it's not a problem for you

Germany suffers because the sum of the IQ of the team doesnt reach 2 digits CHANGE MY MIND

about time someone did this thanks

thanks for the subtitles on this

When the German player actually knows the jumbos frontal weak spot

Good video. Was thinking of buying war thunder for playstation as a way to pass time due to covid19. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

man playing that girls und panzer music for germany. a man of culture

great video!

I like how he said: "Expect to bounce 5 or 6 shells before getting penetrated." and I die from one.

You could make a video about some strange tanks and tell how to play with them (something like Bison, Puma, sPzB 41 on tier I, 105mm sherman, etc.)

Thank you, this is very helpful.

This is very helpful

I would like to make one addition to USA STABILIZERS! having the ability to pull off the first shor while your opponent is waiting for their gun to settle down is extremely useful.

As for me US anti-air is good until M16 MGMC then it stops until you reached M163

Another good video

Most fun tiers for Germany are the low tiers (~2.7-3.7). This is where uptiers aren’t a problem. At 5.3-6.7 you won’t get a single downtier and this makes a lot of matches considerably harder due to the heavy tanks not being very flexible. I would like to warn players that step into the tech tree thinking they are going to dominate with superior german engineering when in reality you can’t even play the tanks recommended play style (sniping).

one more note: as a US main it feels like you get destroyed by the German guns, if you use (even on your slow tanks) flank routes you’ll be able to get 1-2 kills if your unlucky and 4-6 of you donut right

"powerful enough to pen a tiger from the front" because _tiGeR pLAYeRs doN't AnglE_

Very nice video i liked it keep it up and will you make for the other tech trees as well?

Thank you for this!

When Russia has a better CAS score than Germany. Wut.

13:21 You accidentally used Russian flag instead of Soviet one

thanks for help dude

Everyone forgets how America starts with almost every vehicle having the blessing of Browning strapped to the top of their turret which is a real threat to early light tanks and close air support

I took the russian tree cause I noticed the zis 30 has 145 of pen at battle rating 2.3

Next time may you please establish that it is a tank guide in the title? I have been mislead by this video because I assumed it would cover planes and naval as well.

Can't wait to see sweden I would be happy to get some tips on the top tiers as I soon am there.

looking forward to part 2

I’d count the bad depression angles as a pro because if you are not flanking with Russian hard bass and t-34s. Then you ain’t playin right

Which nation is beginner friendly? skDoger: yes

Also a bonus of the Soviet tech tree, it has a lot of vehicles with certain 'bias potential' sekrit dokumints ))) axax. A few notable beauties are the KV-2s, KV-1E, BM-13N and I-153P.

From my experience there are 4 things I would correct or mention. 1 I believe he overestimates the power of the American SPAA veichles, whiles groups of good ones (mostly from BR 1.3-2.3 and +8.0) most of late early tiers and mid tiers have lackluster SPAA. 2 German CAS is some of the most dependable in the game, there are not too many of them in the game but there are a couple that will work fantastic even in putting them 1 or 2 BRs higher than intended. Examples of this are planes like the Ju 88 A-4, Fw 190Fs and Ds, Bf110s, Ju 188, and Me 410s. The secret to these planes' success is due to the powerful bombs Germany has that can be carried by faster and more maneuverable aircraft. Although I will say the CAS options past tier 4 are not the best aside from 8.7 where they get some good CAS again. 3 One of the Soviet tree's best lineup is in 4.3 with a variety of diverse tanks that can accommodate to any playstyle in any map. 4 Lastly the Soviet trees' CAS while there are some good ones like the ones he mentioned (such as the attacker line and a couple bombers) these generally are slower for their BR and payload, leaving for a bit more to be desired from them. Other than this he pretty much nailed everything else he mentioned in this vid and yea thank you for attending my TED Talk

I actually recommend Germany to beginners if they want to get good fast you also forgot their 3rd Td line which is their aa and the tiger 2 is basically worthless rn. their cas is great actually with the 288 being viable up until 8.0 and the dreaded g91 at top tier

Germanys close air support: 6 "g91 flashbacks start playing" Sure, just 6/10, ussr team isnt losing fast enough

Return of the king!

Watching this while downloading War thunder. I’ll be waiting for 1 hour, enough for a couple of videos.

This video is great and actually made me want to play war thunder again Nice job man Game still sucks tho lmao

Very well done video, although I would suggest new players to not grind nation by nation. Grind one battle rating at a time with all nations, or almost all nations (for example I grind everything except France and Sweden). There's significative advantages in doing so: 1. You're gonna get to play enemy vehicles and get better at dealing with them. 2. You're gonna get more used to a new tier since you're gonna play more time at the same tier and avoid those tier jumps that you often find grinding only 1 tech tree. 3. Before getting to high tiers with more skilled players you'll have more time to improve your skill and understanding of game mechanics. 4. You'll get more silver lions:. If you jump from a 6.7 to a 7.7 lineup as in the German tech tree for example, the 7.7 vehicles will be significantly more expensive. Instead, if you play for example one nation at 6.7, and then all the other nations at 6.7 and then you go up at 7.0, the costs will be significantly cheaper and you'll probably afford your next lineup. Also, you get more silver lions because using this method you'll become a better player and earn more. Now, there's a huge disadvantage tho: you're not gonna get to high tier anytime soon, it will take at least 2 years, but just if you play a lot and you're really skilled, so it's up to you. Although let me state that using my grinding method you're gonna be way more relaxed, rage less because you don't have the pressure to getting to high tier, improve your playing skills, and unlock new vehicles more often, even if they're not high tier, basically a more fun and rewarding experience overall. You can use a hybrid method if you want: grind one nation that you particularly like up to high tier and then use my method.

14:09 if you want a really good light bomber i suggest the Ar-2 with full bomb payload ( custom payload with the biggest bombs which i don't remember the name ) since it has airbrakes, bomb sight and some really good gunners

Nation guide is on your side

I'd like whatever you're smoking that led you to make the conclusion that USSR has better CAS than Germany lol. Also, you kind of forgot helis, they seem rather relevant. I might just make my own nation guide because this has several glaring overlooked points even if it is part 1.

Just wait until he starts talking about Italy and China

10:40 I thought he was gonna say die not damaged, true stalinium at its finest

I started with British because their tank seemed fast and it seemed like an interesting nation but after unlocking two vehicles I switched to US as it has great vehicles.

Cant wait for italy xD

"German tier 3 is very strong" - a man who has not played German tier 3 since ERB was added... 😥

Looking forward to your review of the "sparse" nations. So far the only one I've pushed onwards with is Sweden and it... has a few surprises.

The open top tank destroyer line is actually self propelled artillery. German self propelled artillery was usually open top, at least to my knowledge.
