War Thunder PlayStation 4 Cheats and Tips

The game utilises specific damage values and modules for every tank so make sure you make your shots count by aiming at specific areas of the enemy tank. For example a single shot at a weak spot can wipe out the whole tank crew, hitting an ammo rack can set the vehicle ablaze, and damaging a tank’s tracks will leave it immobile allowing you to circle it and deliver a fatal blow.

Early in the game you need to make sure you stay hull down which is the practice of keeping the bulk of your tank behind cover while leaving the turret exposed. Doing this will help protect your tank from being exposed to enemy fire.

The key to winning most battles is having the right shell type equipped for the job in hand. Make sure you know the different types of shells at your disposal. This can range from single purpose speciality casings to solid all-round tank destroyers.

Once you have studied your tank and know it's strengths and weaknesses you will want to take advantage of it's strengths by angling your gun turret accordingly when facing the enemy. This is an essential tactic that will help you get the most out of your tank as the slope and angle of your armour effectively increase the thickness of your plating as well as the likelihood of shells bouncing or ricocheting off without doing any damage.

Before you enter battle it is advised that you spend time in the Hanger observing your tank in x-ray mode so you know as much about it as possible. This includes it's armament and armour thicknesses to it's speed and crew positions. It is particularly important that you know which areas of your tank to hide from enemy fire and how effective you are at dealing it back.
