I find it annoying that in Air RB you cannot sit in a crashed plane if the pilot is alive anymore. Also, if you manage to fly and land a ""dead" plane with only one wing, it will not let you repair it anymore. This hurts the realism of trying to survive and limp a plane back to base to get repaired. What are your thoughts on this Jengar?

I hope you know that this game would have been nearly impossible for me to navigate without your resources. Fantastic work, man.

Love your videos, they have been super helpful. Thanks for making them.

I remember starting out in this game, I fell in love with the P-39N-0, P-38G-1, and especially the A-20G-25. I probably grinded half of rank II and most of rank III with my A-20. In my opinion, USA got one of the best rank II lineups (overall, not just playability) in the game, surpassed only by Japan which to be fair, Japans rank II is abnormally awesome.

Thanks for this excellent video, Jengar! This is very helpful to me as I get started with Air.

I didn't use the Wildcat very long. I'm on PS4. Looked at my game stats one day, and noticed I only ever got one kill in it. However, it was a memorable one. Low and fast with the two 100lb bombs, had a P-40 high and left rear quarter coming in VERY fast. KNEW he was going to overshoot BAD. Pulled hard up and left bleeding nearly all energy, reversed hard right and guess who was in the perfect lead and got hosed 😂😂😂

im finally in the editing process for that one.

Do the corsairs have airbrakes? B/c they were a real focus during the design process. And they were quite novel: the airbrake was actually the wing landing gear. There was a specific setting that would partially extend them. (I just watched the Greg’s aerospace and automotive video on it-that’s a great, super in-depth and researched channel btw, highly recommend it!)

@Erden99

Жыл бұрын

Sadly not modeled in War Thunder, although the landing gear is strong enough to be fully deployed at quite high speeds for extra drag. Not fully realistic implementation.

Excellent video. I cant tell if its your skill that makes your enemy look like bots but i see you dive on someone and they just fly straight as you line up your shot. The people i try to dive on start goin wild right away. In struggling with the aiming.

the p-51 got a upgrade it seems its moved to 4.0 and is in rank 3 now,i can see that it was performing well in this rank to have moved so far.

pretty good video, although i personally have found the airacobras and kingcobras to be the most fun in the entire tech tree. yeah they arent the best in anything, but the guns and flight characteristics are decent enough to turnfight most things and you are fast enough to run away and boom n zoom those who outturn you. but i guess it is just my personal taste. *shrugs*

Big upside of the 2.7 F4F is the ammo count not just in total but per gun. I'd rather 2 less 50cals and all that extra ammo

@jengar6258

Жыл бұрын

@MetaReplication

Жыл бұрын

Exactly. Even if the F4F-4 was at 2.7, I’d take the F4F-3, because you’ll barely have to land and rearm with that ammo load.

I kept trying to work out which belts you use - do you tend to use Stealth belts or air belts ? I couldn't see much smoke from the bullets so i am going with the latter. if so, would you recommend that noobs such as myself get practice in Arcade to learn proper lead before using them ? I tried Arcade a few times before moving straight to Realistic and have been there ever since but still struggle with giving enough lead on my shots.

@jengar6258

Жыл бұрын

i usually use either air targets or universal. But i have to say it varies per belt and caliber. i usually go for the belt with most HE filler when going for planes. leading takes time. tip: usually ppl dont lead enough, so lead twice as much as you think you need and if you dont hit reel the lead in until you do. This is often easier then extending the lead.

I disagree on your recommendation level for the P-40s, because I think they're a very valuable teaching tool. As you said, the P-40 is the epitome of a jack of all trades, it does most things well, but nothing really exceptionally. What it teaches is that you should learn how your plane performs relative to what you're fighting against and capitalize on your relative strengths while doing the opposite for your weaknesses.

I actually love the Wildcat. OK, it has a lot of problems, climb, speed, acceleration, armament but they will out turn anything that's not Japanese and it's especially great if you are fighting German aircraft. You can totally out manoeuvre 109's and 190's. Maybe because it looks dumpy and fat opponents usually completely under estimate the agility of the Wildcat. It's under powered but if you fly American planes you need to learn manage altitude, dive and keep your speed up anyway, it's just an added bonus that you can out turn most opponents while doing that.

Jengar taught me how to play yaks, but I still suck due to fps issues.
