Okay, Let’s start our main topic: War Thunder Guidance

I have played this game since half year ago, I was invited by my roommate, who was a fans of the third Reich. This is a war game and includes over 500 kinds of vehicles, I played a lot of FPS games before, so it was not hard to play War Thunder, I killed 4 enemies in my first match, It’s amazing for a new player, but I wanna say, you can do that too, and the air battle of this game is so exciting and real!

1.When you first play this game, you must decide your favourite types of vehicles. Different country has different types of vehicles, you have to choose your country first( I choose American Germany and Japan).

American has the heaviest armored bombers( B-17 especially),and longest range fighters(P-51 Mustang especially), and fighters can carry most ammo(P-47 for example), all American planes performance well at high speed and high altitude, but they are weak at turnning, most of them can only outturn German fighters. I personally think American is not fit for beginners, their fighters are harder to handle like your are riding a wild horse( Mustang,lol)

Germany has the most power guns or cannons on fighters(Fw190 A5 for example), they are the only country have jet fighters during World War 2. But same as American, they are good at high speed, so they are suited for B&Z(abbr for Boom & Zoom, means you attack from higher altitude and then fly away without dogfight with your enemy, it’s like the feeling of heavy cavalry, huh?)

Soviet or British, because it’s a Russia game, so Russian planes is OP, you know? They have both fighters suited for B&Z(Yak-9 series) or dogfight(La-5), and so does British(spitfire), these two country may be the best country for beginners, I think. Their performance is fine and easy to handle.

Japan may has the best plane for dogfight, A6M5, Zero as we all known, did really well in the Pacific War. Even spitfire or La-5 can’t outturn most of Japan planes, they are freaking swiftly and easy to handle, but the weakness is they have really poor firepower and do really bad at high speed.

That’s all, hopeful your like my article, and I will continue updating!
