BRITAIN GETS A LOW TIER JET NOW? - Strikemaster in War Thunder
Ойындар
The Strikemaster Mk.88 in War Thunder is the top reward for this seasons Battle Pass. It's a low tier Jet for the British Tech Tree at BR 6.3!
For what is essentially a training plane strapped with pretty decent ordnance, it can quite easily pass as a combat effective plane. So long as all your fighting is prop planes and WW2 Jets.
It gets Snebs, 500lb bombs, weird rockets and even napalm. The problem is, the defensive armament are 2 very underwhelming 7.62mm machineguns that may as well be BB guns.
It's a good lineup filler due to Britain's distinct lack of Strike plane for this BR rating. Just don't expect to be able to tussle with other planes in GRB for too long.
For AirRB, please check out Defyn's video. It's pretty good for that! :)

Both. You can take bombs and T-80 rockets together for a lovely weapons load! Managed to get a 13 kill game with those things XD The T-80 rockets have overpressure too, so are brilliant vs open top vehicles, esp spaa.

Considering that Gaijin is switching rocket trajectory basicly every morning. Atleast it feels like it.. same goes for bombs. But I still prefer "laying eggs" on tanks, I am so done with Gaijins inconsistency I just "scrape off" my bombs on the side of enemy tanks. Even though the "can´t release bombs when on the ground" does screw me over every now and then.

@@aker1993 I'm pretty sure they didn't (I'm happy to be proved otherwise :)) . I know they had Percival Provosts (the prop that predated it) but African operators were Kenya, Ivory Coast, Botswana and Sudan. That said, I recall reading about jets used in the bush war but I believe they were Hawker Hunters. If you've got any first hand info, I'd love to read it though if you can pop a link over? :)
Surprised they added this but haven't added the Cessna Dragonfly yet, would probably have almost the exact same performance though tbh

Like you mentioned at 3:20, crewmember said it. The new crewmember voice helps a lot with spotting especially air targets.
I absolutely am loving the Strikemaster, as you say the main issue is that doing CAS it slows you down which means that you have issues vs anything challenging you which makes you need to dump your weapons or die. I am loving pretty much all the weapons but would recommend the T-80 or mighty mouse rockets for their overpressure abilities. Also while its only 2 machineguns, if you are in a 1v1 its more than enough vs most planes you will face.

@mitchverr9330

@@Dudeman9339 Many planes you face have the ability to catch you, if you dont control your speed you will snap a wing off when bombing with it. This plane will struggle to keep speed or turn with a full payload in a fight with somebody using a 1 drop fighter-bomber. Fighting a 3.0 plane is a bit different to fighting uptiers against 7.0 planes. I have had a couple aces in the plane, I am pretty sure I can fight with it fairly well. But you only have a couple 762 and you will not face just 1 plane, but 3-4 fairly often and at least 1 of them will be faster then you can be.

i absolutely love how this thing looks. even if it's not great it's aesthetic is so sick
0:43 is it just me that finds this plane goofy looking 😂 love ya Odd. Just another video I’m gonna enjoy of yours 😎
Now to keep with the same theme, the AT-37 would be a good add. The "Converter", (converts fuel into horrible noise) or the Tweet has heavier guns and can carry a good load of weapons on the wings. Our building was about 100 yards from where they were parked on base, the sound of those birds were truly terrible!
I love your content. Especially these CAS main videos
Yet again asking for a video on the Strv m/42 EH, I'd love to see you play that!
You're doing a million dollar job. Keep it up. This is the way
Its an actual unique vehicle. And it gives the UK a decent strike plane for that BR.
I’ve been looking through your channel videos and haven’t seen a video posted about the M60A1. Well actually there’s alot of American tanks you haven’t covered yet, will be great to see some of them from your POV!

Love your vids odd keep up the good work
Some planes are exceptionally unstable now, the P-47's for example also have huge wing imbalance now. Hardly can pull out from a drive after dropping a bomb.
This thing is super versatile, good dogfighter for ARB, good ground attacker for GRB and it can also take out an entire base with its napalm bombs for braindead grinding
IRL the airframe techs would be taking you as the pilot out back to "discuss" the brush and weeds stuck in your bird's intakes.😮😅 Outstanding game play 😂

I have a feeling this thing will do wierd things to air RB. Hopefully that includes reaching all the Ju288 bots (yes, owning a ju288 instantly turns you into a bot) before they can score a base.
good friend of mine flew an A-37 over the Ho Chi Mihn trail from 67 thru 69
I would love seeing videos that show how you go about completing battlepass challenges
I love trainers converted into strike aircraft. Wish they had more like the Dragonfly or an armed Texan/Harvard (other than the Wirraway)
Oddbawz! I have a challenge idea for you. Your impact on matches is huge. Also, matches that are close are a lot more interesting to watch. Nail biting. So how about you deliberately cripply yourself for a certain number of minutes in each game. Perhaps you can't leave spawn. Or perhaps you can't fire your main gun. Something like that for enough minutes that your impact is neglibile until about the middle of the game where you have to work really hard to win it.
19:30 ish, I think they've made hitting an enemy's smoke grenades crits now? I had it in a couple of games yesterday I think
The Strikemaster truly is one of the planes of all time. It gives my Skywarden vibes... just not quite as insane
Randomly hearing your pup bork in your videos is my favorite Easter egg in your content😂
I saw one of these at the Wings Over Wairarapa airshow, pretty neat jet.
Love the CAS videos.
I want some gates of hell footage from us Odd. Looks like a great game and would enjoy your coverage of it.
I think this battle pass did it right, light trainers/strike planes should be added on the game, but under a battle pass in order not to have games with ww2 vehicles filled with 60-80s plane, hope the same for the italian tree.
New CAS? I can hear the anguished Spookston noises from here.

Unfortunately, this plane is very small and if you've never seen an M2, they're fucking huge. It's just a packaging issue that comes from arming a plane that was never really meant to be armed.
20:37 - my goodness, that thing has a derpy face from the front (crew "eyes" and all)!
cant believe that a strike aircraft that britiain needs for filling the tech line is a battle pass vehicle, gaijin in a nutshell
If you want to get the snob rockets at the beginning of the game take the yesterverk I think it’s called it’s the first South African aa and drive it to cal a point since it can travel almost 60mph
They should add the xp54 and xp56 :) to very interesting prototype’s planes that were made during the attempted production of xp55
Now we just need our kiwi A-4!
Was thinkin of going for this one
yeah as an old kiwi i've forked out for the battle pass to get this. I remember them in Singapore when we were stationed there when my dad was in the navy
"... we've got American desert, but it's cloudy." - Gaijin has lately decided that all weather is Scottish. If they had a moon map, it would be cloudy with light drizzle.

I wish for the crew member voice lines, that they had voice actors from the nation that the vehicle operated with. Like South African for the Ratel 90, or Australian for the AC IV. It wouldn't really improve the game as such, but it would be a neat mechanic

Ok let me tell you. Trainer jets make the best CAS planes. The US Air Force did it in Vietnam and it was really good.
Can you show off the f6f 3.3 American CAS strike aircraft absolutely bonker armaments at such a low tier
the crit was his smoke.... if you shoot the smoke it counts as a crit thats also kinda funny tbh ^^

Gaijin has graduated from ghost shells they cannot seem to get rid of to ghost rockets and missiles.
They should add the "Sky Warden" and the Super Tucano to the USA tech tree. Both are great aircraft taht would fit in a lower br tech tree imo.

I am largely too impatient when I play vehicles like this. I feel like if I haven't haphazardly dropped all of my ordinance within the first couple passes, I'm not doing enough. I need to implement a more patient strategy that prioritizes airspeed.

Hi bawz, love your videos 👍🏻
Strikemaster is alot faster at sea level than those props you mentioned. The stat cards show top speed at optimal altitude. At sea level jets as a general rule are much faster than props. Strikemaster will smoke a Spit and Do 335 at sea level.
