War Thunder Guide Levels 1 - 6 by Wapang_2008
Hello, this will be my first guide and I am definitely not skilled, this is just what I did to get out of those stupid Italian planes.
First of all:
German's strength and weakness
Pros:
Generally high speed and fast at climbing
Good for diving
Good to Extremely good firepower (Me410 have the biggest cannon, 50mm gun)
Cons or Just minor disadvantages:
Moderate - Poor turn rates (NO TURN FIGHTING WITH HURRICANES/ SPITFIRES)
Leaky fuel tanks (Dunno why every time I am hit, I leak. Maybe just luck. Once again, this is my personal opinion)
Lack of rockets across all planes
Lack of Torpedo across all planes
Lack of heavy bombs (1000 Lbs +, or maybe I just read the armaments wrong
)
However, the worst con is the first 5 levels- The Italian grind.
First of all, when you are at 0, you have three German bi planes, three models of the He-51.
He-51's pros and cons
Pros-
Good mobility
Decent Armament for its level ( 2 Machine guns, just like most nation EXCEPT THE GLADIATORS, they got 4)
One of the model can hold 2 (Or 6, sry cant remember that well) of 50 kg bombs, use them to help ground attack.
Cons-
You will be targeted as priority by other people (Easy kill)
Your speed is low
Lack of weapons to do damage to anything stronger than a light tank (FORGET THE DESTROYERS, CARRIERS, ETC. You will do nothing to them)
Your role on the battlefield
Ground attack against armored cars/ artillery/ AA guns.
Dogfight against other bi-planes (Except gladiators, they out gun you. Also avoid the I-15 Chaika, they are insanely strong for a He-51)
AVOID SPITFIRES, HURRICANES, YAKS, LAGGS
What you should NEVER do
DONT dogfight with any non bi-plane planes (Other then Italian ones - the M.C 200 series are fine, just be extra careful)
DONT attack bombers (I know fighters are supposed to beat bombers, but the bombers you face will probably out gun you)
DONT attack PBYs, H6Ks (THEY ARE INVINCIBLE AGAINST MACHINE GUNS, or nearly invincible)
Repeat the same step for the Falco level 1 Italian Bi-Planes.
Level 2-4
Next 4 planes are your first ever mono-planes (Planes with 1 set of wings)
They all share the same tactics and it is going to be plain torture due to their weak armament and below average speed and maneuverability.
Their pros: (Forgot their names, Sry)
Faster then the Bi-Planes
Slightly more maneuverable
One of the variants can load 2 bombs to help with ground attack
Cons:
Poor maneuverability compared to its peer
Poor Armament compared to its peer
Despite decent maneuverability, it BLEEDS speed on turns, so no turn fights
Role on the battlefields
Ground attack
Attacking bi-planes
Alternate way for grinding 3-4
Get the Ju-87 stuka and its second deriative ASAP
Get the BF-110 heavy fighter ASAP
BF-110 usage
Focus on attacking bombers such as Wellingtons and PBYs and H6ks (Due to cannons, you can hurt them)
Ground attack is also a good idea
Charging in to a massive dogfight and try to strafe a enemy fighter to death in one pass the RUN (Always fun, though your chance to survive if a fighter chase you is slim)
BF-110 Pros and Cons
Pros:
Heavy armament that allows you to kill most enemies head on
Higher speed then those Italian rubbish planes
More durable the those Italian rubbish planes
Cons:
Poor maneuverability (NEVER GET INTO A TURN FIGHT)
Ju-87 Stuka roles on the battlefield
-To bomb and strafe the enemies' ground units into a pile of burning metal
Pros-
4 50kg bomb + 1 100kg (Not too sure) bomb gives it a good punch
German machine guns that sounds much better then the Italian ones
Decent maneuverability for a ground attack aircraft
Cons-
Vulnerable to fighters due to the inferior turn rate and speed
Did I mention the first 2 have a working stuka siren?? It is awesome just to hear it, LOL .
When you reach level 4, you should have
2-Stuka
1-Bf-110
1- M.C 220 Fologore (Get it ASAP when you reach level 4)
and one plane of your choice
M.C fologore is a level 4 plane that is decent for its level (It is still weak)
Pros-
First Italian fighter to have 4 machine guns
Good speed
Good maneuverability compared to the last few Italian planes
Good All rounder
Cons-
Still inferior weapons compared to the British counterpart
Still inferior turn rate compared to the British counterpart
MC 202 "Fologore"'s role on the battlefield
To dogfight enemy's low level ground attack planes
To dogfight other bi-planes
To ground attack when ever you have the chance
What not to do
Same as always, AVOID BRITISH PLANES.
Beware of LAGGs and Yaks (You can beat them, but it will be hard)
Level 5
Get the GERMAN bombers (The ones that goes to the Arado Blitz) if you wish so you wont get too bored, AVOID THE ITALIAN S-79s (They are nearly useless) and unfortunately, GRIND till level 6.
Also, if you have the lions to spare, get the next 2 stukas, preferably the one with the cannons Ju 87 D-5, they are the most useful.
Also, with those cannons, you can occasionally find slower ground attack aircrafts to kill (Cannons are quite strong). The stuka's tactics are the same as above and you should always avoid British fighters. If you are being tailed, press F6 and manually aim the rear gun because you will most likely kill the attacker if he is lower level an severly damage a higher level fighter if given the chance.
LEVEL 6
YOU MADE IT, GET THAT BF109 IMMEDIATELY and FINALLY START BEING A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH.
BF-109's Pros and Con
Pros-
High speed
Good Maneuverability
Extremely Good armaments
Good at climbing
Good at diving
Cons-
Low ammo for the cannons
It still bleed speed on turn, but your engine compensates for that
Its role on the battlefield:
With all this new firepower, you can freely attack ALL bombers other then the B-17s and the B-24. You are a high altitude fighter and should always attempt to flt to 3000+ feet at the start of the match to harass and kill enemy bombers. You can also attack the British planes and get your revenge on them for making you suffer from their OP level 2 hurricanes with your cannons. Always avoid spamming shots as your cannons have extremely limited ammunition. Your manverbility is good enough that you can dogfight with hurricanes and spitfires but it should always be your last resort as your plane is better at diving from a great height, shoot at the enemy and use the speed you gain from the dive to return to 1500+ feet as quickly as possible.
Congratulation when you reach level 6 because you are out of those useless Italian planes. You may continue down the tech tree as you wish because now you can be a true competitor to the opposing team.
My in game name is Wapang_2008 (Might change soon to Blitzkrieg5 if name is still there) and you will always see me ranting about OP British planes :P
Please, if you have any other ideas, post and share with the other pilots and hopefully we will get a thriving community always sharing on this post.
My record with BF-109, the level 6 one is 7 kills before getting shot down. Post those and share with us too :).
