      I've done it a few times, but only with a fighter escort that actually had my back and didn't fuck off to go chasing easy targets. And even then, those three kills were 100% assists, so not even mine. They're as rare as a shit that doesn't stink or need wiping.

  • @JoesWebPresence
    @JoesWebPresence 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1820

    You notice they have no escort? Fighters ought to lose points if the bombers they are supposed to be protecting don't make it. That is their role. They were NOT gladiators, and fighter to fighter engagements were often forbidden by HQ, but in War Thunder that is what most people do. The game would make more sense and be more balanced and ordered if fighters lost points when all their bombers died. They'd start to protect them, and that can only be a good thing for realistic battles, as escorting the important planes, the bombers and attack aircraft that can make a difference on the ground was the fighter's role. shooting down interceptors was their primary mission, not fighting each other. If they did what most fighter pilots do in War Thunder, they would face a courts martial for letting the bombers die while they went off to have their duels in the sky.

    This reminds of way back in the day they had an Iwo Jima event I believe where the most advanced fighter the Japanese had were early A6Ms and the Americans could take B-24s. This was back when bomber weren't limited in number on a team, could take multiple cannons bursts, and Japanese 20s were sparkle cannons. Almost every single game would have at least one Zero ramming a B-24 to try and down it. It was glorious and frustrating at the same time playing on the Japanese side.

      @Jamesbrown-xi5ih 6 ปีที่แล้ว +43

      20 mm had different ballistics than the 7.7, and they only had 60 rounds per gun on the 20's so it's entirely possible that the 20mm passed on either side of the turret whereas the seven sevens hit. depending upon a variety of factors, it's entirely possible that they would not defeat the armor plate.

    I absolutely loved the book, both movies were very good too. It’s a very emotional read, knowing it all happened and it wasn’t just to one person either, thousands and thousands experienced similar to what Louis did. War is terrible, it is brutal and horrible. But perseverance and inner strength prevails in the hardest of times, never give up, always keep pushing on no matter how hard it gets. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and every second it comes closer than before.

    If you're wondering how the gunners were able to survive being shot multiple times by airplane guns; A6Ms (infact most fighters for the first half of the war) had rifle caliber machine guns as their main armament. So you could survive being strafed by a fighter plane. It wouldn't be high chances, but still.

      I am sure it happened, but if so it was because of damage to the turret not allowing the gunner to get out.
      I know on the B-17 the gunner would not get into the turret until already in the air and get out before landing because of the risk of landing gear failiure or other accidents on take off and landing.
      And on the B-24 the turret was retractable (and with a hatch) because it would not clear the ground while the plane was on it's landing gear.

      I actually think that's the one time crew swapping is implemented in a sense. I would have to test it but I'm fairly certain I've seen my left seat pilot go black on x-ray and still maintained control of the plane in the PBY, and I think in one case the F82, hard to confirm on that one because it was in SIM both times. It would be nice for gunners to be able to move into the more important seats. It sucks when you only have waist gunners and both your tail and top or bottom ball turrets are dead.
