How to ZERO | A Complete War Thunder Tutorial
Рет қаралды 79,119
Күн бұрынAdditional QnA section:
▪ "Why Vy and not an angle for climbing?"
-Your best pitch angle will change constantly as it has too many factors that affect it, such as the altitude, weight of the plane (bombs and fuel) and density of the air. If you keep a certain speed for climbing, you'll maintain your best rate of climb regardless of your pitch angle.
▪ "Where's Vx?"
-Vx might be problematic since it's a slower speed for climbing, as you'll need to build up more energy if you enter a sudden engagement. that's why I did not include Vx.
▪ "What ammo type do I select for 13.2mm on otsu variant?"
-Get ground targets, as it does an excellent job at lightning things o fire.

Do you have anymore tips for the Zero's at 4.7 BR. I'm still getting slaughter by BnZ players. Today i played 30 games in the Prem. Zero at 4.7. i made 3 wins against Russian aircraft but lost 27 battles against the Americans. most of the games i played against the American aircraft players that last for about 20 to 25 mins because they don't want to come down from 20,000ft to 25,000ft but i know if i climb, they will BnZ me. Not just one but like the entire team dive at me. I got to the point of bailing out now everytime i see more than 2 or 3 planes diving at me

In a Fw-190 D Do not turn even if they looping down they will never be able to catch you 2. keep your altitude that's a must 3. If you found that there is a spitfire is higher than you just do a shallow dive and climb away and get higher than him Then force him low to the ground until he lose all of his energy in a turn trying to avoid your guns until he becomes slow and kill him with ease Works the same way with the BF-109 and the Do-335

this guide helped me a lot, now I regularly play mainly Zero in Air SB with VR. As mentioned in the video, going high-altitude and BnZ is not recommended in this plane, but you kinda have to, since it is an easy way to establish air superiority in Enduring Confrontations. The Zero is a poor diver. Just be mindful of the speed limits, that's why this video is so useful. In a turnfight, nothing can touch you, except the Spitfire sometimes. Always keep aware of your surroundings, the canopy bars don't matter if you can move your head in the cockpit. The visibility in this plane is excellent, use it to your advantage. I've caught many Corsair pilots unaware from behind. The cannons suck, so only fire when close. Oh, and if the enemy dives to escape, do not follow!

I ain’t gonna lie, the Japanese tree is about the only tree I truly enjoy. Especially the Zero, as turn-fighting is more of my style. That and bringing glory for the Emperor! But in all seriousness, I remember a match I had a while back flying the A6M5 where I (somehow) managed to get 6+ kills with it within 5 mins or less. It was at low alt and for whatever reason the American team decided to collectively try and turn fight a Zero, with predictable results. Shame I didn’t save the replay, or I did but after my computer killed itself it was lost to time.

As a certain German Ace pilot said: "Engage when conditions are favourable, Don't engage if conditions aren't." US Pilots are really the brain dead usually, going low to ground pound and killing their energy capacity on doing so.... When being in BnZ planes, i never dare stay bellow 2Km of alt to give my aircraft some potential energy to help me getaway really fast whenever i needed.

Tip for those playing in the latest patch: The A6M-N's float fuel tank has a tendency to fall off without harming the rest of the plane if it catches fire. It can be handy as a "decoy" of sorts, since a float fire is rarely immediately lethal in the -N.

*sight* Talking about the soviet planes, you forget to mention "soviet zero"(I-16 type 27/28). They can be a serious threat to A6M(Zero) if pilot knows what to do with I-16. Its manouverable plane compared to Zero, but you can easily outrun and then boom and zoom them as I-16 are slow... I already got to fight some Zeros in I-16 and most of time i can manouver with them, even in vertical. Or maybe they were unexperienced. Still, nice video about zero. Really helps to understand the pros and cons of it even more. 👍

Also another tip: press the '1' key to fire machine gun rounds from a decent distance, I'd say about 1.5 kilometers away. This will make the enemy dodge and weave. Once the guy gets slow from doing that and goes into a turn to try and outmaneuver you, you can use your superior turn rate to get inside of his/her circle. At a distance of below 0.2km, use your cannons as well by pressing the '2' key and blow the opponent apart.

Depends on your piloting skills, I have a spaded a6m3 mod 22 and i have no problem shooting down p59s and p51s, while yes you cant survive a head on and your engine isnt that powerful, what you wanna do is climb to a higher alt and shallow dive or dive on enemies and dodge their incoming shots, you have the turn time to easily get on their tail and enough energy power to hang on, if they begin turning or climbing higher, or split s to dive, their fucked and you can easily keep up with them. Remember, minimize making horizontal turns after a merge since that's how you lose a lot of speed and energy, use vertical loops to get on an enemy's 6 o clock. Also watch out for multiple enemies as your a great target when your busy engaging another enemy. Having good awareness and trigger discipline will make you a deadly force to be reckoned with.
