🎯 Master the Fundamentals

Consistent performance in War Thunder comes from understanding core mechanics rather than memorizing specific tactics. Always use Protection Analysis in the hangar before battle to study the armor layout of tanks you'll face at your BR. This single habit, combined with proper shell selection and positioning awareness, will improve your effectiveness more than any other factor.
