I just reinstalled this game, and I am having problems in dogfighting, I cannot even execute simple manuvers and get outgunned by every pilot I duel with, unless I am using the reserve planes. (Since they are slow and pilots come ahead of me) Does anyone have any tips about what I am supposed to do? I use mouse only.
Switch W and S to pitch up and down

Shift= throttle up
Alt= throttle down
3= target aquiring stuff
left Mouse= MG's
Right mouse= Cannons
Middle mouse= Zoom

When dogfighting, put on combat flaps and use the boost when turning, it should be enough to beat most people. If you're being chased, just fly as low as possible, zigzag and head towards the nearest friendlies and hope that they are smart enough to help you.

This is for arcade, of course.

70 kills so far with the Yanks. I play primarly tier 3 with a friend, and we rank up those kills quickly
And here I though I was going slowly with my 120 kills :D. I found out tier 6 to be the best. Both Aircobras and Hellcat + P40 "the flying wardrobe" and A20 when I run out of good planes. Works great for me

I am curently playing in the p36c hawk, seems like an easy way to get my 360 kills, getting at least 1 kill a round so far, and the rounds dont last as long as the tier 12 i was playing before.

Its a fine aircraft at tier 3. Not as heavy armament as the hurricane or Lagg. But it turns very well ands is sturdy

in both HB and AB

Enlighten me please... what does the level mean there? Does that mean I get the aircraft only after the 6 levels and there are 6 different rewards, the aircraft only being the last one? Or am I supposed to make this amount of kills with aircraft having this level?


I 30 airkills and 10.000 Silver Lions

II 90 airkills and 20.000 Silver Lions
 
III 290 airkills and 30.000 Silver Lions

IV 490 airkills and 40.000 Silver Lions

V 750 airkills and 50.000 Silver Lions

VI 1100 airkills and 100.000 Silver Lions

I don't understand it either. What do they mean with level 6 ? level 6 aircraft or level 6 players ? I assume the latter, since otherwise everyone would play with level 1 aircraft ..

If you would play the game you would notice that every singe reward has different levels in this game. Just like many medal in World of tanks do.  It's super simple, you get your first reward when you finish level 1, after 30 kills you get 10k lions. Once you reach 90 kills you get level 2, and another 20k lions. After you get 260 kills you become level 3, and get another 30k lions and so on, once you reach a total of 1100 kills you will have gathered the grand total of 250k lions and your aircraft of the nation you scored the kills in.

I am confused that you don't understand this.

I was confused about the word "and". Looks like they want you to earn 10k lions and 30 kills in a certain aircraft. Also the word "level" could mean level of aircraft used, level of aircraft you would get, level of the reward you get etc. There was no further description either.

But thanks for clearing things up.

War Thunder uses plane ranks, not levels (or tiers), I believe if they wanted to say you should use a certain level of plane, they would use the word "rank" instead. Anyhoo, had my first game in the giftphoon and man that thing is a destroyer, plus the reward bonus.. I honestly have no idea what to do with all the silver, I'm drowning in it.

It means that you have to use that nations planes, and you get to first level by getting 30 airkills, and you receive 10.000 Lions, you get to second level with 90 airkills and receive 20.000 Lions etc. until you get to last level, that is 1100 kills, 100.000 Lions and the giftplane.
I'd rather play Kimble with my ass!
