You can enter rolling scissors with most of the American aircraft and still come on top though. Fw190s are slightly more difficult if you don't have the altitude advantage as they don't climb as well. Aircraft such as the Bf 109 is very nimble and can dance around a P51 and P47 any day. Keep the fight at about 5km and below against Americans. Unfortunately the "balance" in the game screws us over slightly, you can still do well though. Anything below 7km is our territory of dominance. They generally perform well at high altitude.
I'll try to give a few tips against the specific ones.Īmericans: American fighters are generally heavy and sluggish. Specific Tactics Against Specific Nations: Playing as the Germans, you'll face diverse enemies. If you have trouble finding someone to squad up with, shoot me a message!
One guy drags the enemy and makes sure he is tunnel sighted, while the other one shoots him down while the enemy is not paying attention. This is stressed in aircraft such as the Fw 190s. Squad up! German tactics heavily revolve around pair tactics. I will explain later what you'll have to do against certain enemies if this is not possible.Ĥ. Turn around, break contact and gain an advantage on them while they are busy with other people. Worst case scenario: enemies are higher or co-alt (same altitude) with you. If he breaks every time you dive on him, aim for a deflection shot (DO NOT TURN WITH HIM) and shoot him once he's displaying his upper/lower surface to you. He has decided to not fight, we as German pilots respect that and can engage him later with an even greater advantage. If the enemy climbs up towards you, shoot him at the later stages of his climb, he will have a hard time maneuvering out of your fire. I.e: breaking away from your attacks and doing aggressive/defensive maneuvers. Normal scenario: the enemy is aware of your presence and is flying defensively. If your initial attack failed, but he is still susceptible to attacks, rinse and repeat. Dive in, make the kill, climb away and extend from the fight. You have made contact, now what?īest case scenario: the enemy is not aware of your presence and there are no other fighters at your altitude or higher than you: Position yourself at a slight angle and behind or off to port or starboard side. Don't be the fool who dives head first into a snake pit. Positioning! You've gained the altitude advantage, established some speed and spot your first contact. These trains are easy to slaughter if you can position yourself properly, which brings me to my next point:ģ. Same thing happens in a certain degree in realistic battles as well.

Whenever I go into a simulator battle, I often see people tailing each other in German aircraft, this is bad and is often the result of poor aim in the initial attack. I always go for gun modifications first in any aircraft I unlock to help myself doing just this. Therefore, quick and clean kills are important. You want to quickly kill your enemy before your energy advantage (altitude and speed) diminishes after consecutive attacks. Don't stay in a fight where you don't have the advantage!Īiming! I can't stress the importance of being able to lead your targets properly and pull off deflection shots. The luxury of German aircraft historically, was the ability to engage and disengage at will. When this isn't attainable, you can usually out dive your enemy and extend away. However, I'll give you a few that seem to help others that have asked me similar questions:Īltitude is love, altitude is life Unless you're playing arcade, you should always be in an altitude advantage of your enemy. Unfortunately not all are applicable due to War Thunders design and matchmaker. Due to that, I had experience with German tactics. I came from a simulator community and went into War Thunder to pass time.
