The worst part isn't hearing it, is NOT hearing it. It shuts its engine off moments before impact. So if it suddenly goes silent, it means the target is you or very close to you.
Yeah, it doesn't really matter I'll be dead either way.
Just like in bfv
That happened to my grandmother one flying near her cut off its engine she then stubbornly had a stand off with a man walking nearby where she refused to be the first to take cover. And he didn't want to before a woman but she waited him out and didn't go to cover until he did.

The little spinning propeller at the front is to measure the distance. If you know how often it spins in a certain amount of time, and know the speed of the rocket, you can estimate the distance travelled.
After the set number of revolutions, the bomb would drop down and explode on the ground. All you needed to know was the distance to your target (e.g. London).
Not a precise mechanism, but enough if you want to hit a large city.
Like a German jet also had that I frogot the name tho but it’s rank 5 in war thunder
There were many German jets from WWII. The Me 262 being the most well known as it was to only to see service and confirm air kills. 3 others were designed such as a single engine jet, the first flying wing, and the first rocket plane.
Me 163? Holy I’m bad at naming but.......
Thanks for explaining! I was wondering about it :)

Not a jet but a rocket powered plane

Through decades of reading I know how the majority of these weapon systems worked, but have to say that the quality and accuracy of the information portrayed and in such a concise manner is absolutely TOP CLASS material. How come work of this calibre isn't highlighted more often by YT's piss poor algoritms?
You should be working for media companies... but as far as your subscribers are concerned you're much better working for yourself. Please keep up the GREAT work.
Thank you appreciate your thoughtful comments!
@@H1MIN If you create this standard of work as a personal hobby, you should be advertising your work to TV production companies, or maybe educational material producers.

Keep up the excellent work, All the best.

As with so many inventions in WW2, far ahead of its time.

could you do a video on how APHE Shells work?
maybe one on ACB or what made the Flak 88 shell deadly
Oliver Eastman there’s like 3 88 shells
My grandmother was in London during The Blitz. She used to tell me stories of when she and her girlfriend were working late nights cleaning an old theatre. She said you would hear the sirens and all the city lights would go out, then would come the sound of the V-1. She said hearing it was always OK. In fact you prefererred it because you knew where it was an could hear it fly over. She said the most terrifying moment if you were caught out on the street was when the V-1 engines cut off.
Complete silence.
She said that was when you would just crouch there not knowing where it would drop.
The silence was absolutely gutwretchingly terrifying.
Then BOOM!!
Apparently, when the engines cut, the V-1 would start a steep incline to the ground, so if you heard it cut off above you, you were safe, But if you heard it cut off a bit aways from you, you were an immediate possible target, They used to pray to hear it stop above them.
She said this would happen while on the buses too, where all the lights on the buses were off so it wouldn't attract attention and then you'd hear the whistling of the V-1 through the air for just a few seconds before it impacted nearby.
Just going to work each night was a terrifying cat and mouse with death.
She was just 17 years old.
Just remember that when you are complaining about your life.
Those who came before us living through hell on earth to give us what we have today.
LEST WE FORGET.
she and her girlfriend ? if she was lesbian how did you come here ?
Realize that have been a few vids already, but no ads. Appreciate it
Keep it up man I love you videos
Those are super informative and short. For not streching that much information to 10 minutes like every other would, you just earned another sub ^^
His video is shorter than a many introduction fluff.
Happy new year! Hope you keep up the good work!
This some primo content you guys have got here. Good job!
these vids are absolutely wonderful!

God damnit. This is literally probably my new favorite channel I've stumbled upon. You have no idea how many times I say "get to the fucking point of your title." "And no I don't want to know about World of Tanks or Audible. Fuck you!!!!" You, Sir, are doing god's work.
Great video, short but very well explained, well done.
Great vídeo. Real Nice to whatch ! 👍👍. O only wish it was 10 minutes up....
My best Chanel
Great and interesting
I like your videos couse they are short.
RPG-7 warheads video soon?
It uses a simple shaped charge or "HEAT" warhead.
My mother was in London and the home counties during the war . Said you could hear them going over . As long as you could here the noise you were alright . But if it stopped suddenly , then you had reason to be concerned .
I can't believe the Germans didn't put two triggers (an upper and a lower) and a "simple" shotgun in both wings. This would have meant that it would no longer have been possible to deflect the V-1 off course by touching or approaching another wing in order to disrupt the airflow. In addition, if the deviation from the gyrocompass was too great, a trigger with a safety timer could have been installed, which would have ignited the device within fractions of a second. On the one hand, this would have been very easy and, on the other hand, would have at least led to the loss of the enemy aircraft.
Please do about V2 too
nice
That's genius
the british airforce was trained to intercept flying bombs by getting close enough to spoil the aerodynamics of these bomb's wings? that's got to be the craziest thing i've heard in a while.
Can you imagine the terror of an AA gunner trying to shoot it down and the engine shuts off.
Lol that sucks
They should have made it so that if the bomb tips over too much during the final phase of the flight it should detonate mid air, splashing the plane trying to down it
Those danged AA batteries! (tongue firmly in cheek)
Where I live in the Netherlands we have still those concrete foundations.
The V-1 had wire-cutting blades on all the leading edges.
A couple hundred were downed by barrage balloons - mostly by flying straight into balloons themselves, instead of the cables or netting they lifted. Many thousands more were entirely unhindered by the balloon defenses.
yeah but it was launched by steam catapult not its own propulsion
How a Spitfire Catch Up with the V1 the Spitfire can't fly faster than 600kmh
Thank you for that comment. You are correct, they needed altitude to dive down to catch up to the V1. Good article on how it was done here: www.forces.net/heritage/wwii/how-spitfire-pilots-really-rammed-v1-bomb-out-sky
@@H1MIN thx Mate Love your Videos❤️
I didnot understand the guidance system, can you explain it to me?
There really isn't a guidance system. There's a compass and gyro to keep it on a fixed heading and just enough gas to run out over the target. The gyro just makes sure the V1 keeps the same direction.
The allied aircraft that brought the V1's down actually flipped the wing tip of the missile with their own wing tip. Some were shot down by cannon fire but the resulting explosion caused a 360 degree debris field and the chase aircraft were hit with fragments. There's report on pilots "sitting" their aircraft on top of the V1's to try to disrupt its airflow, gyroscopic stability or damage the engine and its mounts. The real danger came from ground anti-aircraft batteries that were over zealous firing at the missiles even with allied chase planes and shot down some of those same aircraft.
English: no! Stop bombing
Nazi: haha flying bomb go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
My grandad had one land in his family's out-house when he was about 7-8, the bomb squad had to go and defuse it.
I've heard of wingtipping before, but the version of it I heard would have pilots actually touching the wingtip of the bomb in order to flip it and send it barreling. So is that a myth or what ?
Maybe they thought they were touching it, but in reality an air cushion meant that no contact was actually being made? That would be my guess.
@@woolfoma While air circulation would act first, with enough roll applied you would definitely hit the wingtip. That, and you will most definitely hear it through the fuselage if it happens.
@@Ramash440 Not a myth. Their wingtips actually made contact.
@@jeffbenton6183 The wings definitely did not touch. The plane placed their wingtip just under the V-1 wingtip which upset the V-1 aerodynamics and lifted the V-1 wing up and sent the bomb in a dive. Wing tips are delicate things. They did not touch.
@@Coltnz1 I've heard multiple pilots in interviews say they did.
They have revived it, it is in several rheinmetall videos as a target for practice
it just sounds like a missile with extra steps
Well yes, but if you consider that rockets were unguided and had a reach of only a few thousand meters, this was revolutionary
If you wanted to drop a bomb at that range you would have to fly a bomber at that time
Less steps than a missile.
Like way less.
Especially when taking delivery methods Into account.
isn't the startup slightly inaccurate?
Wasn't the pulse jet motor ignited DURING the rocket launch, not before?
This was necessary due to the pulse jets design not being able to start while staying still, requiring air flow.
Wish I was born on a time where Blimps were flown
You do know they are tethered and are unmanned?
Look up "hybrid airship". They have some advantages over traditional heavier than air-aircraft that lighter than air-aircraft usually lack. They could be a big part of our future.
1. Called a pulsejet not a jet pulse engine.
2. They actually contacted wingtips. Flying close is not good enough.
So Germany invented ASMR before TH-cam was a thing?
Status report! Anyone?!
Vell ze v1 launched and zen they blew up like vey too early.
I can see that!
They're invincible in BFV
I find it funny that a
Super advance jet Missile from an age where Propeller aircraft is the norm,
Can be neutralized by having a wing of a fighter, slightly below the wing of the missile.
I don't think something like that would be possible with today's fighter aircraft.
Everything is way bigger and faster than those piston powered planes.
Far less room for error when travelling at the speed of sound or close to it.
blarp blarp mean
FUUUUUU RUN
How exactly does it know when the crash? I assume because it simply runs out of fuel, but does it use something else?
Compass heading and preset amount of fuel. Accurate enough for a city but not much else. Many didn't even reach their intended destination.
So that's how air ramming works huh.

It seems to me that it's just as risky to carefully maneuver the plane to that precise spot on the wingtip as it is to shoot it down...
1:09 same failure of SS Hubble NASA gyro interuption
Battlefield 5 players be like 😳
One mistake. Our town wasn't liberated untill 1945 and we had a v1 installation outside our town.
So its basically a kakmikazi but with no pilot
Due to risk of explosion.... Don't spitfires shoot down larger bombers? I'm confused how the risk could be greater....
Differently sized targets.
One flying 2,000lb bomb versus a plane carrying like 3 normal 2,000 bombs.
Ones going to be easier to hit from a safe distance.
Steamer's overhead, get down!

German engineers approved
why did you not mention antwerp
more v1s fell on antwerp then onn london :/
Are these *that* much worse than cruise missles I wonder?
I know a modern cruise missile can go faster and is more accurate, but you could do relatively minor upgrades to this to fix that, hell you could control it like an R.C. plane.
The only real difference then is delivery method.
Jets are no doubt faster, but they're also far more expensive than this rail system they have here.
It'd be a good half-way between artillery and airstrikes imo.
look like a half ballast and half cruise missile
Now imagine the damage if German has installed something to track the targets with witch at the time was possible but expensive maybe the war would have took a turn
The Nazi's had other issues in their war machine.
The closest they had to "autonomus" target tracking in WW2 would be the radio fuses the allies would use in AA shells, which would provide an air burst effect instead of having to hit directly to do damage.
That has potential, but it's generally better if bombs directly hit if not penetrate their target to absorb more of the explosion and do maximum damage.
Heat seeking projectiles wouldn't exist until well into the Cold War.
The war would of not have taken a turn, there was other issues and not just in their other weapons either the V1 had to be launched via catapult, it was inaccurate and due to the nature of pulse jets it probably wasnt able to turn very well even if it could track a target not to mention kinda hard to make your nice expensive flying bomb when your factories are bombed

Ah yes the earrape bomb
United States officers: "You were found guilty for crimes against humankind. "
Nazï Germany scientist: "I can build rocket you know?"
*SNEAKY OPERATION PAPERCLIP*
It is a little bit more comomplicated then that:
1. The V-1 was such a basic design compaired to what the U.S. military had by 1945 (ASM-N-2 would be one example) that I dont think any american engineer gave a f*** about it.
2. The americans were lacking behind in therms of rocket technology. However that was not because the germans were better at it but because the allies won the air war and allied bomber streams were way more efficient at strategical bombing then any V-2 ever could be, so there was no need to invest into rocket development.
@@jakobc.2558 Meme lol chill out chill mate 😂
hey war thunder, You taking notes ??
To be honest, I was surprised how little information was given in this video. There’s a lot to say about them, yet nothing much at all.
Japan used the same bombs against U.S but they had AI or something
You mean those with a pilot in them? That's not AI, that's just a suicidal pilot.
Biological AI’s yeah.
Yes, it is ki 147 rocket. Japanese radio guided rocket used in ww2.
There was no such thing as AI in WWII. They were either radio controlled or they used a relatively simple computer to calculate distance.
@@jeffbenton6183 or pigeons en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Pigeon

The japanese simply puts pilot in their bomb
So technically it's a missile, not a bomb
Buss nombs
v1 rocket
wow germany created all modern things
The video ended up visualizing effectiveness and importance of D-Day landing than title owner V1 itself
This prove whenever you visualize D-Day landing and it's consequences alongside any other military event even for a mare second, they'll become small in comparison
Still some of the French are saying they liberated themselves without anyone's help :/
Had the Germans made these earlier, I'm pretty sure the Battle of Britain would have turned out differently.
it's a shame how humans will give 100% effort to kill themselves but not the same effort to make our lives better.
This weapon Was So So Cool....I Bet ...If Germany Would Have Used it Earlier......It could easily have Won The War....
