Also, nice job with the Ki 44! I thought he was going to be a little more distracted with your friendly. He made the that head on happen. Perfect way to deal with Japanese aircraft though!
@@PorkNBeans47 I usually have trouble aiming and being effective with the American .50 Cals; in this game it went surprisingly well and so I also survived the Ki-44; at first I thought that would be the end...
Good gods this thing just holds on to its energy, go vertical as many times in anything else and you'd stall in less than half the time, you pushed it to the limit (: What a match, also what a team for that match, you were in some rather target rich situations there and they didn't immediately get to swarm you O: Doesn't help them that you can look up and keep going 🤣
I think I was especially lucky with my opponents, they didn't fly their sometimes much more maneuverable planes well or had bad aim... because I didn't find the F6F that great either, like the F4F it seems a bit cumbersome and both don't roll well... the one P-63 could follow me for a long time, but never shot at me, I guess his guns were jammed... But I'm not complaining, I earned almost 100k SLs in this game (without boosters)
The hellcat deserves so much more love! It was the perfect answer to the zero. Also, I fly the British hellcat too! It’s at tier 3 so I can do all my tasks with it.
@@Stefan-Forster Mine too! And I hate to contribute to the stereotype but British teams typically perform better than their American counterparts. I find more success in my British one as well😂
@@PorkNBeans47 All in all, I found it easier to unlock the American tech tree than the British one... but the British have airplanes on certain BRs that suit me better than the American planes...
If I'm not mistaken, the Hellcat was the most successful plane of the war for the united states- in kills. Now I've got to research it, you made that kitty interesting.
@@chris_bianchi13 You know things like that better than I do Chris; one reason to watch your videos and get the historical context and facts that I can't provide 😉 I still find the F4F and F6F to be relatively sluggish to fly (fat cow), but either I'm getting used to it or it was just my day for a change 😎
@@chris_bianchi13 the Hellcat had the highest kil to loss ration of entire war With an astounding 19:1, it really goes to show how easily it was to take on jap aircraft with the right plane
The American (F6F-5) and the British version (Mk II) have an identical BR of 3.3 in Air RB. But the British version is a rank 3, the American version is only a rank 2 aircraft. Why I don't know... according to WT Wiki the difference is mainly how many SLs and RPs you get... 🤷♂️
@@Stefan-Forster the American hellcat used to be rank 3 but when they rearranged the tech trees it got moved down unfortunately. The Brit one is premium so they try not to change premium stuff often I believe
@@WammSon Thank you !!! I don't know, I'm not 100% happy with the video; editing, music... something bothers me... But I definitely had fun when I flew the mission.

@Stefan-Forster don't sell yourself too short 🤣
You were so enticing they held their triggers and jammed their guns :P
All part of the master plan (:
@@madmansprinkles one possible interpretation 🙂

I don’t understand why the British hellcat is so much higher br than the American one

@ thx 4 the info, i wasn‘t aware that they moved the American Hellcat…
Once more into the breach to repel the swabian invaders .
Excellent video bro
