Fantastic guns, fantastic energy, and fantastic turn performance. At least, that's how I remember it. It's been a while since I've flown it in Air RB. Now, I use it for CAS because it has a 500kg bomb along with the 100kg on each side.

Honestly one of the only machines that keeps WT on my PC. I do tend to only play Air sim, where she's an absolute dream to fly. But I still can kick some ass whenever I bother with RB

Your title sums the Re.2005 up perfectly. I also am baffled at how a plane with the performance of a 4.3 Spitfire F Mk IX is at 6.0, but it is still playable at that BR because players suck at that BR, you can still use your advantages and early jets don't stand a chance in a dogfight.

@no-legjohnny3691

Generally, when you have a maneuverable plane that hardly anyone plays or sees, most people will just full-send dogfight it. Things like the IL-2s, the Su-6s, the Ki-108, the SB2C Helldivers, the MB.157T, the Dehaviland Venom, the Canberra Mk6, etc. All of these are very agile vehicles that nobody assumes are capable dogfighters because nobody uses them, so they just try to turn around you even when it's obvious that you're gaining position on their tail and only ditch out and try diving away when it's already too late.

I like these non meta plane reviews here lately.

Yeah they feel heavy. When you roll it feels like they build momentum

idea about the flap guide: Maybe ask someone who's in arcade to make a flap guide for that mode too?

Flap guide on planes with slow flaps pls, i.e. Bf 109s.

So in the final analysis, keeping the bombs was the correct descision for the P47.

Will you discuss flaps at top tier or near top tier?

8:20 there's nothing we can do🗿😞

You do not make it easy to watch these videos without headphones.

i love playing the 2005. it's my favorite prop. Imo it is an excellent combination of great guns and good maneuverability. I didn't play most of the summer and it seems to me that they nerfed the engine. it seems to have less power and overheats where i used to be able to WEP all match no problem

I guess it fits into the meta better than the G.56 due to its good 1v1 abilities and dealing with energy disadvantages, while the G.56 is good in 1vX with its great energy retention - albeit there are more 1v1s(with the enemy having better energy) than anything in rank IV for the Allies-Axis matches

I still have nightmares of when it had a godly climb rate and would punish every single prop it came across. Now it just feels like fighting a spitfire but with really good guns

Absolute goated of a plane

Hey Defyn. Did you notice the Ki-100 that is now rank 3 in the Japan tech tree? It was not there before. Maybe you could do a review?

hope the spitfires going up in BR aswell

Love u deffy

For one circles I know flaps generally help, but I'm curious if you could test a plane like the Tornado or F104 against itself flaps vs no flaps in a rate fight and see if the marginal gain in turn rate is worth it

Can you make a video on the Neshar, and do I have to donate to request a plane?

when it comes to flaps do u use a bind that goes straight to landing flaps instead of combat?

0:26 If I had to describe the average war thunder player in a one second clip

yeah idk if im tripping but I was close to unlocking this plane in the tech tree and its gone or at least I dont see it.

The only reason this is 6.0 and not 5.3 or even 5.0 is that it fights US mains at 6.0 bracket. Half lawnmow and half dives after first ju288 they see. Despite being the only fighter on my team in vast majority of the matches(due to Ju288 spam it gets into a lot of 6v6 matches), 70%WR, 49: 12 KD in 23 matches. And this was by far my least favourite Italian in t3 and t4 - it had horrendous stock syndrome, going 520 in level flight and unable to go past 620 in dive... F8F or P51H outrun you in level flight as you dive on them.

could you play the first griffon spitfire has some insane climb rate just wanna see your opinion !
