War Thunder — AmericanDesert

A great spot for holding the people going to point A. The position sits on the approach traffic rather than the point itself, which is the smarter half of objective defense: you engage attackers while they are still in transit — moving, exposed, and focused on the circle ahead instead of on you. The A lane feeds targets wave after wave for as long as the point matters, and each respawn sends the next batch down the same route. Set up with your firing lane on the approach, take the deliberate shots as they commit, and A stays functionally closed without you ever standing on it.

Get to this road and tuck in along its side — from there you lock down the only road the enemy has for reaching point A. That exclusivity is the whole position: there is no alternate lane for them, so every A-bound vehicle either crosses your gun or gives up on the point. Interdiction does not get cleaner than a single mandatory route. Hide against the roadside so you read as clutter rather than a threat, engage the traffic as it commits, and A quietly stops receiving visitors. Expect eventual frustration plays — smoke, CAS, a group push — and be willing to shift a little along the road when they come.

Posición en el lateral de A — trabajas el costado del punto en lugar de su frente. Desde aquí tienes tiro sobre los vehículos que entran y salen del círculo, y los atrapas de lado, con la atención puesta en el frente del objetivo y no en tu ángulo. Los laterales de los puntos son siempre los ángulos menos vigilados: todo el mundo espera el enfrentamiento de frente. Colócate con calma, castiga a los que capturan y a los que defienden, y cambia unos metros de posición después de cada par de bajas para que el fuego de respuesta nunca te encuentre donde te vio por última vez.

After the C point is captured, this spot lets you camp the southern team as they push to retake it — you sit on their counter-attack lane with cover, ambushing the wave everyone knows is coming. The detail that makes it work: make sure your engine is off. Engine noise carries, and the position sits close enough to the push route that an idling motor gives you away before the first shot. Silent, you are a piece of scenery; running, you are a marked target. Cap C (or let your team cap it), roll into the spot, kill the engine, and let the retake wave deliver itself.

Between the three rocks you can cover two or three corridors to C at once — the sightlines run all the way to the back of the map, so traffic at every depth crosses your gun. The rocks give you hard cover on multiple sides while the corridors funnel the enemy into predictable lines. It is a great position for autocannon vehicles like the 2S38: with several lanes feeding targets and a gun that never really stops firing, you can service all the corridors without waiting on a reload. Wedge in, assign your attention across the lanes, and let the geometry of the rocks do the defending.

From here you can see A, the area close to the enemy spawn, and the right side of A — three sightlines that together cover most of what happens on this end of the map. The point traffic gives you steady targets, the near-spawn view gives you early warning and early shots, and the right-side angle catches the flankers trying to work around the point. It carries a danger tag because a view this wide is eventually noticed. Play it as a sniper: deliberate shots, priority on the spawn-side targets who are least aware, and a small relocation whenever the return fire starts arriving with intent.

Rush to this position as soon as you spawn in from any spawn, it gains you the ability to see the enemy before they see you and it gets really good cover if they spot you
