    That match you were unlucky. 2 fire gone out thats unusual for japanese planes and that beginning was really close, that could ended really bad. F6F-5 is hard to play especially alone, bad team and axis have always the initial advantage. Sideclimb and team is almost gone. I think thats why some people put bombs on because they just give up sideclimbing against axis to get atleast some points. merry christmas to you and happy flying. Dont forget to grind for the premium japan.

    Ever since seeing your hammerhead video, I've had much more success doing the maneuver, which has become my main tactic for the Lightning and Mustang. I have been taking notes from your previous vids and using them to my advantage, such as when an A7M tried to zoom climb for my P-38L-5-LO; he stalls out, I loop over, and his drained energy means he can't dodge the ensuing headon.
    Great vid on the Hellcat, "the ace maker" of the Pacific theater. This just means more notes for future battles to come! (I actually prefer the normal Hellcat to the N version, due to the former's already poor climb being further reduced by the latter's radar and cannons)

    • @ryanjonathanmartin3933
      @ryanjonathanmartin3933 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @Infinity The thing is, the Germans used the same airframes for the whole war and produced many many variants of those airframes; so one version could be obsolete while another version could be very competitive. Bf 109 G-6, for example, is mostly inferior to the P-51D, but the K-4 has a better climb rate, power-to-weight ratio and acceleration. Fw 190 A is also mostly inferior, but the Ds have the same advantages as the K-4 does over the Mustang. So it's pretty hard to compare a Bf 109 or Fw 190 to other Allied fighters since there are so many differences between variants. But German fighters do have advantages that an experienced pilot can make use of. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to use those advantages 😂

I watched a subsequent video of yours to this one and there was a P-47M that came to help you and he was absolutely spraying down an enemy before finally getting a kill. You mentioned he had tunnel vision. An enemy came in and took him out with a quick burst while he was busy fire hosing the axis plane with 50 cal rounds.

Also I will have to take your word for the misses since I can't see the replay but it didn't look like he was that far off in your video and combined with how much lead he threw downrange he had to have been hitting some of the time. You also had a game in the I think F6F (fiddycals) vid where you were critting Japanese planes like crazy and had to duck, dodge dive dip and duck all match until their engines finally gave out from the various crits and leaks caused while they were still combat effective for a very long time after being shot.

    I have a question for you...I noticed that the F6F was designed differently than any other single engine WW2 fighter I have read about..."The tilt of the engine was matched with a zero-incidence wing setting, which meant that at take-off or in cruising flight the engine was horizontal while the rest of the aircraft was tail-down. At full power the fuselage became horizontal for minimum drag." Can you educate, I can only picture a speed boat planing out, but that seems somewhat not right to me. Thanks you...

      Uh that doesn't look like it was the case for the F6F, it likely did have wing incidence. Anyway, the purpose was to have the fuselage be parallel to the airflow to minimize drag while the wing has enough angle of attack to produce the required lift in level flight.

    It's awesome to see you fly an F6F. Think I brought it up a long time ago, and in such a tough match. I must note that you got extremely lucky they flew so poorly, especially the J2Ms. You don't even need good turn to beat a hellcat. All you really need is a little better energy retention and good climb and you will be alright against a hellcat. I've done so in my Bf109 F-4, G-2, Yak 3, J2Ms. I have a feeling that their team was just a bad team that managed to beat your much worse team tbh. And yeah the hellcat should definitely be 3.3. only way I think it gets 3.7 is if it gets P-51D belts and a climb that is a little under that of the P-63.
