One mention is that priority sector AA doesn't have any effect on your long-range flak and it has/adds an instant damage bonus to your other AA guns "IF you activate it when the aircraft are within range of your shorter ranged non-flak-AA-guns". Often I'll press my sector reinforcement early because it takes time to come up to full strength but I then I lose out on the instant damage because the aircraft are not in range of my shorter-ranged AA guns when I press the button. It's a 5% instant damage bonus for DDs and a 3% instant damage for Cruisers and BBs (I think). It's a bit of a give and take BUT when your Consumable AA is active it stacks with priority sector AA so with that included you should make a point to not press the Priority sector reinforcement AA before the aircraft are in range of your shorter-range AA guns (particularly when your Consumable AA is active) because at that point it's very worth the extra attention to get the bonus damage. Yes sometimes there's too much else going on to take the moment to time that just right but when able to, you should. Cheers: [ICOP]Dutch_Tiger Robert

Most DD players don't have a clue about how to "dodge" Aircraft attacks as all have been told that it's impossible. You don't have to be in a Halland to be defensively AA strong. I've 3.300 games in Oland and I sink a-lot of CVs and subs, neither can inflict enough damage on me to turn me away. Dodge "is" a v-strong option! She's the ultimate Hybrid DD but most just skip past her with their dreamy eyes set on Halland of which in comparison I think sucks hind tit because it totally lacks "maneuverability".

thanks u , please keep posting guides like this , what about a didicated guide for dds like Småland and another one for cruisers ?

I would like a review of the IJN 'Gunboat' line. I'm only on the Tier VI, but neither the Tier V nor the Tier VI actually make me think 'Gunboat'. Are they going to be similarly lacking all the way up?

Can you make a video of short summaries of how to play different tech line destroyers? I'm a cruiser main and would like to know what different lines have to offer. Cheers in advance!

Video is meant to set baseline for beginners with the class. If you guys want me to do a vid about specific DD (or anything else) say so in the comments. (I love reading your comments)

So many of them, hard to choose. So for me: 1. Quick tutorial of how to dodge, with various DDs: either with speed, maneuvers, islands, smoke etc. 2. French Le Terrible, Le Fantasque, Mogador, Kleber, Marceau 3. Gdansk - is it even worth playing in current. 4. British Lightning - Daring 5. I have in port Tromp and Groningen - so if you want to add something, would be cool.

Good video

3:58 buuut still there is a risk that DDs are torping to smokes, so I recommend smoking when having also a hydro or just dont smoke xD

Don't forget: Germans bad and Russian navy the strongest in da word!

delet your account pls

brooo I never thought about that xD Damn thats genius

Thank you!!!!!! ❤

hahaha very nice video

Last part: play full skilled submarine

damn, never clicked so fast

To aim long range shots, I like to keep aware of the travel time of the shells, not the range. It's next to your aim point. Then I can use that info to lead. I start with 1s = 1 point on the dynamic crosshair, then adjust for speed (more for destroyers, less for battleships) and direction (less lead if angled). This is particularly useful for battleships where the long reload time precludes walking fire onto the target. Then I have a feel for how to make an 8s shot vs a 12s shot. The nice thing is this works regardless of the ship's shell characteristics. It doesn't matter if you're firing German laser cannons or floaty high angle American shells, the time to target (and thus your lead) has been calculated for you.

I like the spider because it allows good hits at angles

Homing torps from subs are just stupid, and the other day I had a tier 8 sub fire at least 15 torps at me in the Yamato, ridiculous.

On the smoke shooting thing i like to pop spotter and shoot just below where the shells come out of the guns and because of that have made some legendary blind shots from accross the map in vermont when there is a cruiser camping in smoke or behind islands so long as they are not moving around like most should be. Vermont is super good at it cause unusually good dispersion when it's not targeting something and an excellent shell arc

7:28 Little bit? Dynamic crosshair is what improved my aim the most immediatelly in this game

that's because WoWs and WG suck. I quit 3 years ago, and the viewership of yt and twitch videos is crashing. Do not pay one cent for this game and stop at tier 7.

On my mini map I have an X instead of a circle? How can I change that? I would rather have the circle

I think full HUD should be on by default I think a lot of players are only underperforming because they have no idea that that's a setting

Nice tips. Thanks.

I use the Nomogram Classic crosshair and it works very well if you guess the speed right, using the smoke trail as you said. It's sometimes unavailable when the game is updated and Modstation isn't. I find the unmodded crosshairs difficult to use and "Kentucky windage" (going with your gut instinct) works better. With the unmodded crosshairs, the number of seconds of lead per tick mark seems to vary.

How do I download the Allowed Mods?

Another good mod is running lights shows forward backward stationary indicators. Usually it is obvious but can help to determine speed and acceleration in some instances. Gave me about 20k dpg increase so not massive but definitely noticeable

Actually, Static 8 is REALLY good. I use it.

booo, you suck (love you <3)

Good summary. Thumbs up.

Static for aiming is garbage. Always dynamic

Isit better to rush up to buy ship till tier ten just to get satisfying kill, coz rn im using german IX cruiser, and the i always get low damage, n don’t hit the enemy citadel. So how?

Just to add some info: 1) Nomogram Classic is good mod to have for crosshair. It has two scales, upper is for ships at 30knts, lower is ship with 20knots. One can use them to aim properly (Especially with american ships). 2) Ship movement indicator mod also gives color dots on the ship telling you if they are stationary, moving forward or backward. when shooting kiting ships or angled ships, put crosshair on the upper tip of nose that will land most shells on your target. If they are fast then align your crosshair with the nose but a bit farther from the ship.

The fact that locking a target affects accuracy so much is baffling having been 1 of the 5 people playing warthunder naval.

No dispersion issues in our game guys, TRUST

If you want me cover a specific topic or you just have a question feel free to say so here in the comments.^^

and what about aiming with torps? xD

7:50 awwww youre sweet <3

TRUE, CYBERPUNK EVEN BETTER GAME

intro and thumbnail are clickbait AF. I love it

Helldivers intro seen Video approved

IF you guys want certain thing to be covered by me feel free to say so in the comments ^^. I am always happy to help with anything. Also once again thanks for all the support i get from you all.

13:20 if the video should be objectively, then I wouldnt say "many players are pretty bad" cuz thats only your own opinion and no fact.

Good video, you explained it very well

Cheers for the lesson man great video got scared of the graph but was nice simple explanation.

Thanks for this video man. Im getting into the game and this is the most consistent video on this topic! Youve helped me a lot! ❤

'Pay to Win' - game has become a joke to play as the economy changes are killing the game. forget higher or even high mid Tiers as the game drains your credits and there is no way to keep up with the loss - UNLESS you SPEND your HARD earned. uninstalling this great game developed by robbers.
