War Thunder Etiquette

By Feral Hogs R Us

This guide is about how not to be an asshat in battle and on the forums. I'm getting a lot of requests to add things to this and a lot of them are pretty good but I made this a while ago (back when the only ground trees where German, Russian, and American) when I was a teen and now that I have assorted obligations and an actual social life unlike then I don't have much time to edit it. I'll try to get to the comments but no promises.

In the air.

These are some basic guidelines:
+Yield to Those in front of you, they cannot see you.
+At the match start look before you turn, "C" is the defalt key for look around.
+If you ram someone, apologise.
+If someone rams you, don't start flaming chat. That never goes anywhere.
+Go for people on your teamates tails, not the people your teamates are chasing.
+Accept that yaks exist and you will have to deal with them.
+If an enemy fighter is on fire\crashing into the ground dont try to steal the kill, but still keep an eye on them as being on fire does not nessesarily = dead.Theres nothing more frustratining than shootting out an enemies tail control or setting them on fire only to have your kill stolen and get a measly assist.
+If your the last guy left dont just hang around at an outrageous altitude doing nothing, nobody likes 40 minute games.

On the ground

+Dont shoot teamates with machine guns, it actually sometimes does damage, and its annoying.
+Don't push the zis-30s off cliffs.
+When your in an airplane in arcade, its way cooler if you dont crash into the ground- and planes dont do damge to tanks when they crash. (This may have changed since I wrote this.)

On the forums

+Use actual words, not stupid slang.
+NEVER POST WHEN ANGRY, this is a big one. Hell this even applys to real life arguments.
+Don't be troll, there are too many of those.
+If you think a plane is OP present a rational argument. Nobody will take you seriously if you just say something like "♥♥♥♥♥♥ (insert russian thing here) rekt me in one shot NERF NOW"
+If you want a change, insulting the developers won't help.

Sir, please calm down. If you read the guide, you'd see that its not a good idea to post when angry. Calm down and then start talking, nobody likes reading everything in call caps.

No1 cares, and geve me bask team kills, I havent killed a team mate for a long time and I crave for revenge of their incompetency, ah sweet old day where I can make 3 team kills because of trash game uptiers me 90% of the time... sweet memories, as I said to moronic devs:

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the More- government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died. Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other profiles on this one site, and she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes u will have the best of your life. TIC TOC
