At first (even after the BR decrease to 5.0) I hated flying this plane for the reason you mentioned in the video… but, I gave it chance, leveled up the crew and holy crap, I LOVE this plane! It is an absolute beast of a plane at 5.0. The climb rate, the speed, acceleration are incredible at 5.0 to say the least. Yes the guns suck, but you do have the option to run APT-I belts with this thing, so you’ll create fires like no other. I catch or outrun everyone!

Defyn! You're awesome man! Appreciate your videos so much!

I love the quick cuts you’ve been doing in these videos 😂 so good

Been missing your prop plane vids, top tier is fun for a bit but really a completely different game at this point. Would love to see you go back and revisit some of your older prop/low tier jet reviews, even if they haven't gotten any flight model changes alot of older planes are still affected by new matchmaking and new matchups in their br bracket.

Most amazing part of this video is watching Defyn give his teammate a kill Such class simply does not exist in war thunder😂

Your blooper cuts are my favorite on KZread. 3:00 is gold

I do find the lack of energy retention useful cause it makes it easier to stay on someone's six whenever they decide to slow down and try to reverse me. But I'm sure, at that point, I'm not playing the F8F correctly. But it is still useful when I accidentally get into those types of situations.

I have the worst time flying the bearcat, it's good but man that handling gets me every time and I burn the engine up pretty reliably to boot, i'll take my P-51D-30 every time

Gotta love that hard cut as always 😂

good video i enjoyed it very much

So let's take the most powerful engine we have (almost). And stick it on a Wildcat (almost). It's a bit of an odd one. Short stubby wings + a powerful engine --> plane likes to roll FAST if you touch the throttle at low speeds. Reminder: this thing was carrier based. It was also prone to ripping off it's wingtips. So they added explosives so the pilot can explodify them in case one ripped. Cause again, this thing likes turn roll. This stuff is not made up btw.

I almost shit myself trying to get to the bathroom.

Wanna know why it has no energy retention? That's because on mouse aim it pulls 83% of its critical angle of attack, the highest of all prop planes in WT(maybe even of all planes). The average value for late war props is about 75%. On the other side we have Fw 190 and Ta 152, which pull only 61%, and F4U, which pulls 65%. This is how War Thunder artificially manipulates the maneuvrability and energy retention of planes in mouse aim.

@rainsilent

Жыл бұрын

Except these issues don't go away outside of mouse aim. Even with joystick they have the same limitations. These limitations are hard coded into the FMs. Gaijin has been artificially manipulating how much elevator planes can pull since WT was released. Historically the A7M had less high speed compression than the A6M. In game the A6M has less compression. Historically the A6Ms couldn't pull lead on a P-51 at 300mph. In game they have no problem out turning everything beyond 400mph.

Yup, fair assessment. I definitely noticed the engine power in the vertical, but its energy generation isn't sufficient for all the speed it bleeds in sharp turns. Not to mention how you REALLY need MEC to have a decent time to begin with. And of course there are the guns, but it's the big tradeoff you have for it to have a BR of 5.0, where it's climbrate and general performance is very good imo. Overall, I personally like this thing, but I admit it's definitely got its flaws, god help you when you fight a Ta 152 H in a 1v1.

The F8F is a lot faster than a 152H and has a much better climb rate. It also has better high speed handling.

Yes, the F8F has a better climbrate, but the Ta can run away and force the fight on their terms. Yes, the F8F is faster which gives it the option to run away, but you then limit yourself to the headon, which automatically reduces your advantage. In a situation where the F8F has more kinetic and potential energy, sure, it will do well. That said, that's not particularly impressive seeing as you can say the same about many other planes. Besides, there will be a lot of fights where you're forced into a low-speed engagement, and in that scenario the Ta dominates.

In a prolonged maneuvering fight the 152H will eventually win, and it won't take much prolonged fighting for that to start happening, but there are plenty of advantages the F8F can leverage before it gets to that point to beat a 152H.
