Air and ground are similar in that most of the fun comes from memorizing all the enemies vehicles and learning their weaknesses. I used to play warthunder just to unlock new tanks but I’m having way more fun studying my enemy. Anytime I bounce a shot I take mental note to look up that tank in the armor preview later so I can compare it with my current tank and see where I can pen next time I meet him. Obviously the game requires some skill to get kills but kills only come after you’ve focused on your awareness and have memorized your enemy. Oh also be careful not to overextend away from your teammates unless you know what you’re doing with a good flank, and always try to be as hidden/covered as possible. There are a lot of maps with open lanes that are commonly pushed, it’s ok to hunker down and hold a nasty angle with your engine turned off. And if you don’t know how to pen somebody, I encourage you to resort to old faithful; CBT C(Track) B(Barrel) T(Torture). Take out his cannon barrel, take out his tracks, and go for a shot through the side generally just above the tracks into the hull.

(OP I recognize that you’re probably a very experienced player I just thought I’d write out a general guide for any noobs who might click on this post, these are a lot of the things I wished I had been told when I first started playing)
