Makes a pretty decent fighter too

nah, thats not me, I haven't played KSP nor do I do a great deal on Reddit

@@mattssecondchannel are you Matt Lowne or Matt Rose?

neither

@@mattssecondchannel i am bamboozled

When it first came out it was amazing, but they fiddled with the flight model recently and now it seems underpowered and it compresses at high speed which it never used to

I'm genuinely scared of them if I see an enemy one, got to judge the pilot because that could ruin your day if they know what they are doing

There are certainly some interesting characteristics of these aircraft which I wonder if they were historically accurate

@@mattssecondchannel if you think they dodge RB's 11.7 frontal aspect missiles... what I said airplanes for the handicapped

I thought it would just be funny - the tail surfaces work backwards and calling something unplayable is a bit of a meme these days :P

I float around in various places

@@TTvdawndwug2 what do you expect

because the elevator works wrong - it works in the oposite way to how physics works. That's what makes it unplayable lol It's a bit of a joke amongst WT players to call things "literally unplayable" for the smallest of issues - like a hull machine gun on a tank not being modelled, or something having the wrong shade of paint

It was the angle of the plane, turns out it can’t release the bomb if it’s in a dive, had to be more level

Its still the same right now

Yes, I did notice that it actually hadn't changed - even though they said in the update patchnotes that they had fixed it when I left the original pinned comment

Yes, the I-15 is a very competitive aircraft

How can it have a lower battle rating than "Reserve" . . .?

😅

definitely!

lol when you put all that work into setting an enemy on fire or they go into an unrecoverable flatspin only for someone else to swoop out of the blue and get the kill . . .

ah, yes, I can see how this would make a difference. The He-100 fires 7.92mm rounds The USSR planes mostly have 7.62mm rounds The UK and Japan have 7.7mm The USA have 7.7mm as well (although at this BR there are those with some 12.7mm weapons) France probably comes off worse with their 7.5mm weapons They are all pretty similar sizes, but I suppose if we look at the French round size and compare, that is a difference of 0.42mm per round. Whilst this might be a miniscule disadvantage, more often than not these aircraft that use this caliber tend to have more guns than the HE-100 so i think kinda make up for it. It's not like the he-100 is firing cannons here and has a wild advantage weapon-wise over the adversaries at this BR

Lol yeah

glad you liked it!

Thanks for the suggestion, I could see about creating a quick guide to beginners for air battles in war thunder

I use OBS, it’s free and works really well

That’s crazy!

Lol it’s like the plane heard me

Thanks! Any suggestions what vehicle I should play next?

@@mattssecondchannel A video with the Corsair would be cool, maybe even the premium british Corsair.

Man, from the last few days, suddenly my aim got bad, and I'm kinda depressed playing warthunder, not even getting kills

yeah - i'll probably do a custom battle or something in the future if I have time

Haha 😂 fire works well for that

Yeah, i think so. Not got good guns, but it has 12 of them so it makes up for it - relatively fast and can turn quite well

@@mattssecondchannel oh got it thx

It’s quite effective even at higher BRs too

@@mattssecondchannel To my misfortune, yes If I engage the prem I-15 in my 2.0-2.3 airplanes and miss the strafing pass, I'm in for a bad time

​@mattssecondchannel I always put at least 2 of these in my lineup at higher BR when i mess around in arcade and I take them out right at the start when everyone is taking out their best shit and I inflict as much damage just by turning and briefly engaging whatever is in my sights. and I rack up kills and assists.. typically I don't even get to my "good" planes and I'm consistently in the top 5. The free repairs are awesome too.

Certainly some very interesting points

100%

going against these in a head-on is usually a death sentence anyway

That would be a fun addition

not sure off the top of my head, moderately high though i think

@@mattssecondchannel Yea, the quality looks pretty high to me, actually I’m kind of addicted to your second channel now lol…

Kinda worked tbh, at least in this game. Perhaps if the German aviation industry and government had been a little different in their policies this aircraft might have seen more real world use

Thanks! Yeah they are good fun 😊

biplanes are underrated and are deemed as not a threat

Lol it is crazy

@@yung_durt Great for bombing tanks, turning off your engine and diving them, fun asf

8 second turn around and 4 7 mm guns. I've learned my lesson to never engage this thing with a P26-A Or literally anything else that isn't like battle rating 3.0 or higher. Russian bias.

I think I’m up to the Mig 15 in that tree

Thanks! Hopefully I’ll be able to find time to make more in the future

Yeah I think there are quite a few! Every now and then someone in game recognises my user name and is like “I build models too!” Because they seen some of my content. Is pretty wholesome 😊

Thanks! I think these things take time especially as it’s different to my main channel

😎

Thanks! Yeah, sadly the game style doesn’t really fit the intention the lightning was designed for. If there was a “bomber intercept” game mode that would fit quite well, but seeing as the primary gamestyle is fighter vs fighter it kinda doesn’t have the strength there

Well, against early generation MiG's, Mirage's and F-104 era types it was good if not better but I've watched your footage and live feeds you've done on WT and granted you can see the difference of how the Lightning has been neutered... Some developers of WT are biased towards certain spec types/eras/nation based aircraft and they haven't done the British side of aviation any favours.. maybe enough noise from the communities may change things? Personally I have no idea.... we'll have to wait and see?

Thanks! When it was added to the game it seemed op, but now it’s not particularly effective anymore imo

yeah, i've wasted too many hours on it lol

pretty sure i go for universal on this one - my aim isn't good enough for stock and tracers dont tend to do enough damage

@@mattssecondchannel thank you! I appreciate the reply 😊

I've found, for some reason, the lightning turns tighter with them on - also, without them on, the plane bleeds energy in a turn to a huge extent which makes it slow down really quickly and then be a sitting duck

this an the CW21

supposedly so
