DO YOU THINK THERE'S A MORE RELAIBLE CAS OPTION THAN THIS THING AROUND 6.0?! WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE INSTEAD?! Song: Jo Wandrini - Sciophobia (one of my favourites)
It’s a little unconventional but I like the Japanese J7W1. It’s bombs are aliquot, 30mms can pen things too down and you can easily take on enemy planes
@@initialyeet3951 it isn't op by any means, it is an excellent anti air (duh) that has almost no equal at its br but against tanks it is useless compared to some other anti air tanks. can't even relyably take out gun barrels with the kugelblitz.
"This guy is way more maneuverable than me, but we have power, and that is more important." - Jeremy Clarkson would be proud. Him screaming "POWWWER!" makes me chortle. And what a crazy intro! I think I need to take this out for a flight.
I used to play pre-ground forces. The Corsair was always one of my favourite aircraft, so I'd think it goes beyond just this specific model. Amazing speed, great power, great dive speed. But unlike most similar aircraft it can also turn incredibly well, even if that bleeds a lot of speed. That latter point makes it worse for lesser players as turning tactics are far more intuitive than energy fighting, but in the intro you show a pretty clear understanding of energy tactics so that's a moot point for you. In the air I always preferred the .50 as it had more ammo, but if the 20mm can pen ground targets that's going to be ridiculous to play against. Frankly I can't think of a fair BR whilst it retains AP belts at all, its either going too high or going too low.

All hispano variants (of which the AN/M2 is a US made and modified hispano) got the same buff to 38mm. So you can get the same number of guns and pen all the way down at 3.0 in the UK tree (sea hurricane, Beaufighters VIc and X) and 3.3 in the US tree. If you dont care how many hispano's you have on your plane there are earlier choices and I think theres a french plane (with the same 38mm of pen) all the way down at 1.3 for example.
@@RandomPerson-ob1hk Hispanos are a family of 20mm cannons you can find on American, British, French, and Swedish (as well as a few others here and there) WW2-era planes as well as most turbo-props and jets made up till the early 50's until they were replaced by ADEN's, DEFA's, and whatever 20mm the Americans settled on.
I’m not sure if the livery on the F4U is a purchasable skin or a WTLive thing, but interestingly enough it seems to be a semi-historical replica of a plane belonging to the Marine Fighter Squardron VMFA-332 known as “the Moonlighters”. They were VMA-332 around the time they flew F4U’s in the Korean War and were a squadron of which both my mother and father were a part of in the early to mid 2000’s. Very cool Odd!
After the recent nerf/buffs I feel like: US 20mms -> US .50 cals -> throwing a brick by hand -> German autocannons. Especially grievous since German autocannons are very rounds limited.
Basically all nations but Germany got buffed. Germany did get a small buff to the MG 151s 20 mm APHE shell, but that was basically useless before, now its slightly less useless. Besides that small buff, Germany was the only nation that received nerfs to 20, 30 and 37 mm HVAP ammo, both for aircraft and vehicles.
@@elektronischemusik1903 because Gaijin was thinking with their asses when implementing Jacob de Marre formula for armor penetration. Balance is now completely out the window. German Spaags are now also the only ones not consistently being able to be used in a tank destroyer role below br 6.7

Perfect intro into everything I hate about ground battles. Almost entirely air based now. SPAA is to uneven across nations with zero complement between them and air power. Can't bring myself to "up vote"
feel you…disgusting how a damn ground battle turning into a shitshow from above after 1 min the round started….they don’t even bring tanks in just a quick one for capture a zone and then coming back with a fcking plane
there should be a limit on how many planes can be spawned per game similar to arcade so people actually get to play tanks, or just have an RB air free mode and make airstrikes like arty
H I S T O R I C A L My favorite is when the 7.6/7.0 American heavies get slaughtered by all the advanced light tanks, but then bring back the victory through superior CAS
@@cosmicdistortion4350 Yeah I have to agree. I would be happy if Gaijin nerfed american CAS and buff their tanks because 5.7 Sherman doesn't sound fair.
Odd makes this look so easy. His strategic maneuvering and knowledge of other planes in the air is absolutely impeccable. He also has excellent intuition for aiming guns and rockets. New players watching this will see what he's doing and probably think that this stuff is easy to do... but it is not. I have been playing WT since probably 2012, and this video is still impressive to me. Know that what you're seeing here is a result of lengthy study, practice, AND a great deal of natural talent.
Best example of his knowledge in planes is his Israeli spitfire video in my opinion, on how accurate he was with those rockets, he made it seem so easy
These planes are the most fun to fly. They have predictable flight characteristics, solid load-out options, and can take a beating. I could watch gameplay like this all day.
Regarding "Germany has alot of high pen MK103 to compensate" Not really. Germany atleast has to choose between CAS and Air Superiority. The only platform that can somewhat compare and has a 103 is the Ta-152C, meanwhile every US or british fighter has either the new insane 20mm or the new insane .50cals. This means Germany has to choose between effective cas or air superiority, while the british and US don't have to choose as every fighter is now not only good for air superiority but als insane at cas. Not to mention that the .50cal. penetration values are complete BS even by US wartime reports, and the same is true for the british 20mm AP penetration that is also utter BS, even by their own reports (they have about 7-8mm too much pen which makes a hughe difference). CAS has become so cancerous in _ground_ RB (it has been cancerous before thanks to supercheap US fighters and Arados revengebombing) that i just quite grinding out Germany and Italy and decided to just play US again as it is now so easy, as you will alaways have Air superiority and you can also be absolute cancer yourself thx to the cheap fighters. tl;dr: Allied .50cals and 20mm now significantly overperform, even by their own testing, meanwhile the german 30mm and 37mm significantly underperform, by both their own test reports and allied testing reports.
The pen formula applies to all rounds the same, no 'but this report says X pen and this report says Y pen" crap. Germany not having good CAS/fighter options is just not true, but please, continue on how Germany just suffers sooooooo much. Horse is dead, Jim.
It seems like sacrilege, but the biggest improvement that the Chair Force could make to the A-10, would be to get rid of the giant gatling cannon. Install a much smaller chain-gun in it's place and it would loose no effectiveness, but would be able to carry more munitions.
I love how all the youtubers show these F4Us with wing damage with no change really in flight performance but i get slapped and it becomes a life and death struggle to fly the damn things most of the time

@@millerthehunter3999 For me it feels like ill take on bullet and all of a sudden the plane decided to lose like 50% of the engine power and just adds 50 drag.
Loving the daily uploads odd! Good to see you back on top of your game! For the quality of your videos and you as a person you should be hitting 1 mil before you know it! Glad I was here from the start much love x
Once again Odd u have done it, great quality content. This reminds me of that Israeli spitfire you did a few days or weeks ago, bloody brilliant intro as well...keep up the work!
The F4U 4B is now unfortunatly a shadow of itself. Bombs are still fine but the M3 cannons got nerfed way to hard.. they now deal around 1/4 of the damage of the M2 cannons.
this is my stress free lineup too. i come back to it if I'm having a bad WT day. it never let me down. I have been enjoying this plane for little over a year now. theshiznos on twitch is god with this thing.
Awesome vid Odd. Because of you I kept trying cas till I’m able to manage. Not only am i a boomer with boomer eyes but Now I’m also a nubby cas player too. I think you said once that “if you ever start cas from tanks it’ll open up a whole new level of warthunder” you were right.
I really love the corsair thats at 4.7 and the 6.0 is just a pure upgrade. After spending a waste of time and lions on the P-61, Im finally starting to work on this plane. Can't wait to use it in 2 months because I mainly play Ground RB and you get jack for RP in planes.
I was playing the maus with my friend and got a full uptier to 8.7 on the first map in this video we crossed the bridge entering the city from the south and got shafted on first contact. I brought the 15mm halftrack to help my friend repair but ended up killing like 4 medium tanks an AML-90, a helicopter, and 2 planes, All back to back to back I was going retard mode on the mic the whole time and recorded it with GeForce, but didn't know I had to move the file to keep it safe... lost the whole thing when GeForce wiped my highlight folder ☹️
Shooting 1-2 of these down with my lil 4.3 Bf 109 is half my air combat experience. Also: Seeing this doing tab kill while the Bf 109 AP 20mm needs half a belt just to turn the inside of a tank into the Simpsons is a tad maddening.
As an old air warrior veteran I simply dont get the attraction of so saccharine a flight model as the simplified mouse aim used for flying. It offers uber accuracy to planes that simply didnt exist with normal flight controls. It's 'realistic battles' - should probably require 'realistic controls' for airplanes if you choose to use them in battle. This setting is a step under "sim" and the main difference in realistic mode is you dont have to use trim or engine management, but the instructor aids are all turned off and you need to use a joystick. I also mapped all of my tank controls to a thrustmaster t1600 so there's no switching in battle if I decide to take a plane. Throttle controls fwd / rvs - rocker is for steering, the joystick handles the turret and views and weapons. it's a trick HOTAS setup for tank battle.
i just started grinding usa tech tree for the western front planes but that intro just got me so excited for the pacific planes. corsair so beautiful. amazing intro odd
Hey Odd love the vids mate! Just wanted to drop a cheeky recommendation to drop your vocal levels cause they're clipping a bit. Keep on being a legend :D
A year later the F4U-4B is at 5.7 and now gets into 4.7 lobbies and is absolutely god-like. It is by far my favorite plane in the game and I will always recommend it for any new player or new to USA player. Edit: and they added custom loadouts for it, so now it has bombs, rockets, and 20mms.
Hands down my favorite lineup in the game, love mauler as well. 6.0 GRB is close second these days though. Cen mk1 is so freaking good. Teamed with tempest MkV, Wyvern and Spit VC
Been playing 6.0 to 7.0 across 4 nations right now and there really aren't many people taking the F4U-4B out to ground pound. Especially when there are early jets in uptiers and other more dedicated ground pounders that can be chosen. You kind of need to go all in one way or the other to be picked: dedicated air superiority/fighter or dedicated CAS.
I really wish that Gaijin would make a separate game mode for just ground vehicles. Unfortunately, most of the time, aircraft add nothing to the game, other than ruining actual fun gameplay. Most vehicles can't defend themselves from aircraft, short of relying on your teammates, which you can't do anyways. They also tend to lose ground battles, unless you already have ground superiority, since they don't cap points. So many games have been lost because 40% of my team goes into aircraft, while 90% of the enemy are still pushing hard in their ground vehicles. And the amount of times I've just started driving out of spawn, just for someone to drop a bomb on top of me...
Well done Bawz, very good editing and production. Had me emotionally invested in your intro...Love your content. Your living my dream as I love this game and play it daily, and now I watch your content, Daily... Keep it up! Thank you!
So that’s the plane that’s been making my life absolute hell for my 5.7 lineup. I haven’t died to the plane but it’s crippled me where the enemy ground tanks had an easy kill. Yet they nerfed the Horton’s HVAP belts because reasons.
King of CAS is an A-10? Only because the true King hasn't been added yet, one day the F-111 Aardvark will come to claim its crown, until then the A-10 sits on the throne as a mere pretender! Long live the Vark!

Can you please play the XA-38, it’s basically an American Hs-129 on steroids, it also has 4 500lbs bombs.
Omg that intro was epic. And yes, I am rewatching this video.
15:00 "I have to use my flaps more" LOL ;) welcome to my life
In short, they took the some pen of the 30mm Mk 103s and gave them to these """"20mm""""
oh well, time to enjoy some full downtiers.
I really do like your intros. Its definitely a strong spot you have. Keep up the good work 👍
As an old air warrior veteran I simply dont get the attraction of so saccharine a flight model as the simplified mouse aim used for flying. It offers uber accuracy to planes that simply didnt exist with normal flight controls.
It's 'realistic battles' - should probably require 'realistic controls' for airplanes if you choose to use them in battle. This setting is a step under "sim" and the main difference in realistic mode is you dont have to use trim or engine management, but the instructor aids are all turned off and you need to use a joystick.
I also mapped all of my tank controls to a thrustmaster t1600 so there's no switching in battle if I decide to take a plane. Throttle controls fwd / rvs - rocker is for steering, the joystick handles the turret and views and weapons. it's a trick HOTAS setup for tank battle.

People: So you have chosen, death
we love you odd!
After your training arc with defyn your intros have gotten 100X better
Your piloting skills are phenomenal, I actually have way more fun watching you play CAS than on the ground sometimes.
Hell yeah dude! Your editing and commentary is just so much fun to watch! Thanks once more for an amazing video!😁
i just started grinding usa tech tree for the western front planes but that intro just got me so excited for the pacific planes. corsair so beautiful. amazing intro odd
I do love the intro and the work. Keep it up٫ your doing great.
This thing is single handedly the reason I keep an Re.2005 and G.56 in my 5.7 and 6.3 lineupd
Hey Odd love the vids mate! Just wanted to drop a cheeky recommendation to drop your vocal levels cause they're clipping a bit. Keep on being a legend :D
Wish we seen more great vid of you smashing planes with your skills , long vids ❤
A year later the F4U-4B is at 5.7 and now gets into 4.7 lobbies and is absolutely god-like. It is by far my favorite plane in the game and I will always recommend it for any new player or new to USA player.
Edit: and they added custom loadouts for it, so now it has bombs, rockets, and 20mms.
Dang actually got me with that bamboozle, well done in the intro
One of you best clips ever
It makes me happy to see someone do so well in my favorite plane. Nice video!
They had us in the first half not gonna lie
“That guy has no breech no engine and is on fire” *Angry German yelling*
With 2stepsFromHell every action video looks epic.
Yo odd you have to check out the russian 23mm on the il 2, that thing has more than 40mm of pen now, it's absolutely mental
Just saying the 50 calls got buffed so hard that it can now reliably pen panthers from the top
Get well soon Bawz 💪🏽, great video really enjoyed it 🔥🔥
Hands down my favorite lineup in the game, love mauler as well. 6.0 GRB is close second these days though. Cen mk1 is so freaking good. Teamed with tempest MkV, Wyvern and Spit VC
Damn thank you for that many videos. Never enough
May will be such a good month. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos!
“Undisputed king of the skies”
Any other jet after the A-10: am I a fucking joke to you?
Odd in his tanks while he's making a CAS Video: If you strike me down now, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
Overpressure did wonders for HVARs, and I love em for it!
"Am only half decent" procedes to get 26 ground kills and a platoon of fighters 🤣🥴
Oh boy, Oddbawz is getting so much better at flying under defyn's guide!
Been playing 6.0 to 7.0 across 4 nations right now and there really aren't many people taking the F4U-4B out to ground pound. Especially when there are early jets in uptiers and other more dedicated ground pounders that can be chosen. You kind of need to go all in one way or the other to be picked: dedicated air superiority/fighter or dedicated CAS.
Nice games dude. Yeah, you taught me to dive, so you can see the enemy after you spawn, as well as many other things. So thanks!
Superb intro. The music is beautiful
love your vids oddBawZ, informative and entertaining, kudos !
i spotted one of these at 8.0-9.10 and it was absolutely dominating the enemy team.. Alone!
Lord, congratulating the enemy for a good shot. I wonder how you stay so peacefully focused.
I really wish that Gaijin would make a separate game mode for just ground vehicles. Unfortunately, most of the time, aircraft add nothing to the game, other than ruining actual fun gameplay. Most vehicles can't defend themselves from aircraft, short of relying on your teammates, which you can't do anyways.
They also tend to lose ground battles, unless you already have ground superiority, since they don't cap points. So many games have been lost because 40% of my team goes into aircraft, while 90% of the enemy are still pushing hard in their ground vehicles.
And the amount of times I've just started driving out of spawn, just for someone to drop a bomb on top of me...
plus one…I really want to play ground battle not bloody kids dropping bombs on me without any chance almost to got them from the sky
Well done Bawz, very good editing and production. Had me emotionally invested in your intro...Love your content. Your living my dream as I love this game and play it daily, and now I watch your content, Daily... Keep it up! Thank you!
So that’s the plane that’s been making my life absolute hell for my 5.7 lineup. I haven’t died to the plane but it’s crippled me where the enemy ground tanks had an easy kill. Yet they nerfed the Horton’s HVAP belts because reasons.
King of CAS is an A-10? Only because the true King hasn't been added yet, one day the F-111 Aardvark will come to claim its crown, until then the A-10 sits on the throne as a mere pretender! Long live the Vark!
Now that was a heck of an intro.
Your intros are the most epic
BRO HOW?!?! Your skill is unmatched!!
Maybe revisit the a2d-1 in ground rb after this buff too, I’ve just got it myself and know for a fact you’d go crazy with it
1:13 correction my dear watson , there was a duck . now its been cooked and ready to serve 😂
that intro though, that is amazing
I use to love bringing this thing into arcade years ago
Yeah winged lions really over-buffed a lot of aircraft guns and made dedicated tank-killers useless. Really hope it gets corrected soon.
Someone had to make an edit of all of these epic intros
I’ve been taking this in my 6.7 Lineup to support the AD4. Even in full upteirs it shreds ground targets
HOW!? It seems like you upload twice every day! I’m not complaining. It’s hard to catch up!
Odd, the sabot slinging Sherman VC is waiting for you in the Italian tech tree. Don't forget to try it out!
what a gull winged monster such a beautiful plane
A good German one is the Do 335 B-2 as it can side pen a jumbo with its Ground target belts on the Mk103 cannons
‘Good catch.” LOL
