War Thunder
War Thunder: Playing with a squad
Crew skills and parts matter once you stop dying in the first minute. Combined-arms matches across air, ground, and naval BRs. This page stays on playing with a squad so you can use it in the next session.
Playing with a squad
Ridges, spawn protection, and spawn-to-cap lanes matter more than cosmetics. Trades win more than highlight clips.
Mark enemies. Your team cannot shoot a tank they never saw.
Leave a lost flank. Feeding a third spawn does not flip the ticket bar.
Keep the focus on positioning, crew awareness, and when to disengage. If the first two minutes are messy, reset before you stack another fight.
Trading and comms
Spawn camping, CAS, and over-peeking a hull-down line.
Cap only if you can leave. Sitting on a point in the open is a gift.
When the space is bad, leave. War Thunder punishes people who stay because they already spent ammo.
A simple rule: 1. Mark enemies. Your team cannot shoot a tank they never saw. 2. Leave a lost flank. Feeding a third spawn does not flip the ticket bar. 3. Cap only if you can leave. Sitting on a point in the open is a gift.
Solo habits that fail in a group
The usual War Thunder mistakes are Over-peeking after you already got the kill.; Ignoring the mini-map while you snipe one bush.; Bringing a lineup with a two-BR gap and calling it unlucky..
Patch days change timings. Recheck your drop, extract, site, or loadout before you copy last week’s VOD.
If you only remember one thing: positioning, crew awareness, and when to disengage.
