The latter is an important skill as it is probably more important a skill then climbing higher. If that's not an option then use yourself as bait, they will sacrifice their height to engage you, with luck and some discipline they might lose the advantage and overshoot, or you might turn the fight and get on them. If that isn't an option look for friendlies. If you find your not high enough and in trouble, keep your speed and distance. Engine Power: 1061 hp 3000 rpm Power-to-Weight Ratio: 8.24 hp/ton Maximum Inclination: 40° Pros and cons Pros: Pretty much the most armored tank of the game.

No longer exists in War Thunder so you cant get the tank. Fly level till your nice and fast, angle into a steep climb and level out when you hit 300km again then repeat. Another technique which works on some props is zoom climbing. Carry only as much fuel as you need, most planes minimum load is usually enough. Stay above 300kmh, another rookie mistake is climbing at the highest angle where maintaining 300kmh will balance speed and climb. When you take off turn right or left this way you buy time to get to altitude. Many people start by climbing right at the enemy.
