    4:24, that background soundtrack could not be more appropriate. Exactly what would play in a protagonist outnumbered scene.
    EDIT: Physics video on flaps would be awesome. "Poor turn" and "good flaps" seem to be contradictory, although I can see the Spitfires easily having the opposite description so I think maybe "strong flaps"(durability and/or low speed lift boost(?)) or "quick flaps" may be better future descriptions.

    Impressive fight, dealing with so many enemies at the same time.
    You've been flying at 105% throttle. Full WEP is 110% but a red "WEP" appears above 102% throttle so it can be misleading.
    Difference in actual horsepower with throttle between 102-110% is very very small though, so you probably had only ~1hp less than normal. Still, it's inefficient ;)
    Overlay made by "Overlay Guy" is pretty and I like it.
    However, i think WTRTI - War Thunder Real Time Information overlay is better. It can log data into .csv and has indicators such as "turn time" and WEP remaining" which are useful. It's also available for everyone.
    Overlay Guy has a competition :P

    • @AdamTheEnginerd
      @AdamTheEnginerd  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I've checked and I really don't see a difference. On planes with WEP, it's either on or off.

      @@AdamTheEnginerd Yes, that's what i meant by saying that varying between 102-110% throttle changes the power by only 1hp or so.

      @StealthySparky 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Just balance the game and rework the game modes (let's start with that).
      Firstly, a lot of aircrafts, especially at low Tier and mostly Axe's ones, have weird low BR for their performances.
      Next, WT devs don't seem to know what to do with bombers and attackers in Air RB, so you either have them being useless or end the match in 5 minutes.
      Three or four years ago, they introduced late game groups of vehicles and give attackers/bombers who are still alive late in the match a chance to be a threat and finish it. And did a pretty good job at first. Then for no reason they nerfed this mechanic to the ground by making them appear so late they are now pretty irrelevant (because you often kill the enemy team before that) and you need to destroy a whole group to make the enemy team lose tickets. And on top of that they nerfed the amount of tickets bleed.
      In fact one of the only time a bomber won against my team (fair and square on Sicily) was back then, by rushing one of those group of vehicles and destroying 2 or 3 right under my nose. I saw him (a B-17 or B-24) too late and we lost because of my lack of vigilance.
      I really have no idea why they nerfed it when it was better than what we have now. Gaijin never really comment their decisions on those things which is another bad thing about them, lack of communication.
      EC also gave a place for bombers where they would be more welcome.
      Adam, there will always be newbies/mindless grinders and experimented players, the probability to always have balanced teams is therefore pretty low ;)

    Every time I use a high altitude fighter such as a P-47D/N, I always have that altitude advantage, but every time I dive on an enemy, they always loop downward, so I go back up to force them back up to my altitude, and then the cycle continues. What do you do in this situation? How do you properly utilize the “boom and zoom” tactic. It’s not working for me.

    • @AdamTheEnginerd
      @AdamTheEnginerd  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah you're doing the right thing. Make sure you switch targets to the enemy with the highest enemy. If you're alone against multiple enemies, they can keep doing that while others climb away, and unless your aircraft significantly outperforms them it's very tough.

    Man its so frustrating see you set up pass after pass only to be denied by the P-38s absolutely trash maneuverability lol. You really got to be patient in this plane it seems, something I never got the hang of. I think XP-50 is a more fun plane for me, sort of like P-38 in performance but more maneuverable.
    It's kind of weird, on one hand you can dogfight with 109s sometimes but when it really counts like in a stall climb situation you can never seem to pull the lead you need and the plane feels really slow to respond. Like at 10:26 you would have been able to get a snapshot in if you were in a plane that wasn't so stiff on the controls. I guess the L model might be better in that regard but then you lack the boosted power of the K. Maybe we need P-38M with L airframe and K performance...

    • @AdamTheEnginerd

      If you truly have a big energy advantage, break off a bit earlier and go vertical, and keep an eye on what the enemy does. If he pitches up to you, go even more vertical and start a spiral climb to dodge his shots until he stalls out.

    I think a good solution to the ridiculous allied ground pound spam at 4.0-5.7 would be to remove the ability to configure ur plane in the first few minutes of a battle and only do it either in the hangar or after about 5 muinites. That way u could classify all ground pounders who set bombs on in hangars as attacker class aircraft and control their numbers without hurting the team as much. U might still get some people who just wait on the runway but anything right now is better that spawning in to see two people on ur team without bombs or rockets. Anyone else got problems with this theory?

      Maneuvering Energy Retention. Essentially it's a measure of how much energy (speed) an aircraft loses when maneuvering.

    Hi can I know how do you get the flight data informations please?

      @AdamTheEnginerd  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's called the "local host".
      How to access the "local host":
      You need to be running War Thunder or it won't work!
      Option 1: on the same computer that is running WT:
      -Type localhost:8111/ in the address bar and press enter and voila.
      Option 2 (which also works on the computer that runs WT):
      -Type Your_IP_Address:8111/ where you replace "Your_IP_Address" by your IP Address (192.168.X.XXX) in the address bar and press enter and voila, you can look at the characteristics on another device while flying.
      I use a program to overlay the information over the game.

    Adam you should take out the seafire FR 47, I hear it’s very good at extreme altitudes, but nonetheless it’s a difficult plane to fly, would like to see you have a go at it
