I've always loved how the 37mm on these planes enjoys such a wide dispertion. You line up a shot, fire, and the shell flies 30° off in a random direction.

Bernieberben Yah right... building here in Canada in my home town were you parked P-39 planes in my home town airport in the Yukon. I mean thanks For the Highway in the north loved driving on it, but I mean you guys helped but most of those lady pilots who flew the lend - lease flights from my home town were from my home town. You guys only did all of that only after you declared war.
@@WorkAlef But you can also see that the exhaust gases are not used for a turbocharger because they are directly emitted into the air throught the exhausts on the side of the plane and not channeled into a turbo like in the p47.
I flew a Soviet P-63 in the game for nearly five years now. When I mastered it, nothing stood before its 37mm! From the tiny I-16 to the B-29. From slow attackers to fighter jets. They all felt the Kingcobra's high-explosive bite!
its not a turn fighter, bf-109's and spit-fires can easily out-turn this plane, unless you are talking about the P-39-N-0 without the 7.62 mm than that is a turn-fighter but yeah, my favorite plane the P-63 C-5 i use it was a support/energy fighter because the P-63 C-5 (despite looking like a clown, which Warthunder please for the love of god give it a normal skin) is great at energy fighting and overall badass if in the right hands i mean it can survive having two thirds of its wing blown off unfortunately, it doesn't get the best matchmaking and allied teams at that BR are often pieces of @#$%, and die instantly. so i find the P-63A-5 is good for me, faces the russians mostly and is downteired quite a bit
I remember a really long time ago when I first started playing War Thunder I had just bought the P-400. It was a funny little aircraft I would always die in it. But one time in Air RB I had gotten a 5 kill streak with it. It never happened again, but it is still fun to fly.
P-400 is kind of bad irl, but it's a beast at its br. You really have to separate firing buttons for mg and cannon to get the most out of it. Spray and pray with the mg, use the 20mm for when you have the kill shot.
4:30 just to clear things up, it did NOT have a turbocharger, just a new supercharger system better suited to altitude: the later Allisons used a multiple critical altitude system like that on the DB series engines As for my personal favorite, I’m always happy to fly the Pokryshkin P-39N: under 10,000ft, its performance is comparable to even the later Kingcobras, reaching 400mph at 10,000ft (644kph at 3km). The loss of firepower is hardly noticeable when you will mostly use the 37mm to rip enemies apart
The p 400 was the one of the first rank 2 aircraft I unlocked and I’m currently saving for the mustang and P 39 that plane has pretty much solely allowed me to grind out the P-36s I love that thing, attack aircraft, fighter, Interceptor that thing has it all.
According to the book Aces of the Red Army, the Cobra and king cobra where the two most sought-after aircraft by Russian Pilots, they were quite comfortable highly controllable extremely agile and the fact that they were almost completely made out of metal was reassuring to the pilots, also apparently the main Cannon was fantastic for making German infantry turn into mist.
this happens almost every game with my tank. I shoot and it even recoils my tank a bit to the side when moving but no hit and i know i didnt miss because the enemy is like 20 meters away and i was driving straight at it with a 2 plane stabilizer. low and behold i die with my dm23 being a ghost shell so the xm1 player got the kill
Yeah the A10 at 4.0br with it's excellent climb rate is truly a good answer to the BF109 F4 and is probably my favourite Cobra to use despite the overwhelming yellow camo
Reduce repair cost and add ONLY JETS MAP! Your giving us small maps and ww2 maps! ADD SAMS! We are tired of flak please add something that can takedown a jet!
Would like to see airfield protection reworked entirely, yes defend players that are trying to play correctly but let’s get rid of airfield campers in the prop tiers
Better ballistics? I'm assuming this is what was on the documents, but is not reflected in game. The M4 and M10 cannon both have the same ballistics for both 37mm rounds. 610m/s for the HEF-I, and 556 M/S for the Ap-t, only to spread hilariously after 3 shots. While Russian Ns-37 keeps that accuracy way beyond 3 and has a higher velocity of over 900
I feel like you've missed one. The P-59 Airacomet is another Bell development, bringing the Cobra family into the jet age. It calls itself "Comet" instead of "Cobra" now, of course, but it's a clear derivative of the family, with a somewhat similar airframe and the same 37mm cannon.
@@mrbyzantine0528 It's literally a Kingcobra airframe with a couple of turbojets stuffed in it. It's part of the design lineage and it's a major part of American aviation history, so I thought it would at least warrant a mention.
I`ve been playing the japanese tech tree lately and I, noticed that the N1K2 shiden kai´s homare 21 engine has only 1765hp fully upgraded instead of 2000hp which the engine was able to produce and same goes for the ki-84 and A7M2 which have the same engine. I would also like to point out that the J7W1 was an interceptor not a fighter like in war thunder. I know this is very off topic of the video but I really wanted to point it out and I don`t know any other way of doing so. I hope you see this coment and take a closer look at the japanese tech tree. Anyway I`ve been playing the game for a couple of years now and I think you`re doing great. You keep improving the game and adding new vehicles which makes gameplay even more enjoyable
I find it funny how that's the most neglected country in WT, even when they got the F-4EJ they got it last and didn't even appeared in a video! Even when it's a decent tech tree with really good planes they never seem to be taken into account.
When i was active, i liked the P39N-0 a lot. Perfect for 3.0, fast, good roll rate,firepower, climb rate(for an allied aircraft) ,while the P63A-5 can struggle against the Axis planes on 3.7.
P63A-5 has always been a very good plane at 3.7-4.7 AirSB for me. I have a couple videos flying it, you just need to get used to it. While flying this plane i always stay at tree top level, use engine management to open radiators and use WEP almost constantly. Only 1 model of BF109, maybe the K-4 i struggle against and a couple 190s. Its a great low altitude fighter and i even use it in 5.0-6.3
Josh Collett If it fits your flying style and like it then ok. Personally to me its kinda unstable, because i was a 109 main ,but these planes were always a big threat in my eyes.
Please increase SL gain for premium vehicles and accounts. Also, reduce repair, crew and ammo costs for all vehicles and let us play the bloody game! Btw, thanks for the Linux version - much appreciated.
@@NO-co3es Yes but premium account holders already spend hard earned money on the game and are still punished. Not everyone can spend time every single day for gaming. Some people need to work and study during the week and can only play a couple of hours in the weekend. Would be much better if they just sold the game instead of this "free-to-play" trick.
I don’t have time to play war thunder anymore. But the P-39’s and P-63’s were definitely among my favourite fighters of the game. Fast, strong rudder, tough, well armed, good climb and dive rates. It could be a challenge nailing fighters with the cannon but it would be a special thrill felt if you pulled it off. I especially loved playing the Soviet special cobras.
When is started the American tech tree, I had trouble with pretty much every aircraft (the P-400 has a nice taste tho). Unlocked the P-39N-0 and scored a, I think, 23 kill game. The 39 mm takes a lil to get used to but when you get the hang of it it’s one good shot and game over for your enemy. Snaps the wings off like they are twigs, even with bombers.
My FAVORITE version was the Pinball. Experienced pilots used it to teach dogfighting to novices. It had extra armor to withstand hits with frangible training ammo, and the lights on its wings lit up when a trainee scored.
Please add a permanent air rb ensuring confrontation or sim battles for console, we're really getting shafted on the game modes even though on the FAQ it states that there are no differences between console and pc
I have the P-400, P-39K-1, P-39N-0, P-39Q-5, and P-63C-5 (France), and while all are excellent aircraft the P-39N-0 stands out to me as the greatest. It was the first I managed to get a 6 kill game in, and generally is incredibly strong and can punch well above its weight.
I play the P-63A-5 even in Tier V because that things climbing rate is insane and unmatched by any other American prop plane. Combined with the fire power of the 37 MM, a caliber tier V planes lack, makes it's easily capable of killing anything even two and a half BRs higher with superior altitude to gain you the advantage needed to boom and zoom.
King Cobras have the same fate with the F-5 Freedom Fighters. Despite great performance but the Army Airforce didnt pay much attention to it, even if the Navy like this as replacement for the deadly yet difficult to land on carriers. The F4U Corsair, relegated for the marines as land based fighters. The Cobras tricycle landing gear setup have shorter landing distance specially on carriers compared to tail draggers.
most underrrated family of planes in history. Only made like 5k of them and the germans and japanese still feared them. defended australia, and gave the soviets more aces than any other allied plane.
finally recognized talent and warthunder for the LOVE OF GOD PLEASE remove the fugly yellow and white striped skin on the P-63C-5 kingcobra PLEASE put a normal skin on it PLEASE thats all i want and i think i speak for literaly all of P-63 fans
For the A10 you can use 200 eagles to unlock a polished aluminum skin on the Americans. No way around the C5 yet, as both the A 10 and C5 saw use as target aircraft for pilots in the states.
2nd time asking this, when or will there be a feature to test drive/fly/sail every vehicle? P.S. love the show, it can really provide some insight to the game. It’s one of the only things getting me through quarantine!
Some years back you could get into the CDK and test fly every vehicle you didn't had via using the mission maker and a reserve plane of the nation. People barely played the game because you could just get into it too easily without the multiplayer part.They just didn't like it and I can see why.
The early Cobra's did have a turbocharger very few planes of the period did what they had was a one-stage mechanical supercharger and thus suffered at altitude
To the devs of gaijin/war thunder : please make the grind a little bit easier; I spend over 640 hours on this game and I'm only at max. 6.7 br for USA tanks and 8.7 for USA planes rn. Of course I've played some other nations beside America but I think everybody would appreciate less of a hardcore grind. Also you guys would be able to make more money out of the game bc of a bigger playerbase (many ppl quit because of the grind). You made a beautiful game with so much realistic stuff in it, that everybody who likes planes, tanks, helicopters or ships appreciates! Don't ruin it by letting the playerbase fall apart just because of to much suffering.
The p-39 was a Beautiful aircraft is was a shame the Americans didn’t use it, although the Russians benefited from this. With there old technology in aviation this was truly a blessing from western world.
The P-39/Airacobra mk 1 wasn't any new technology for the Soviets. The thing that made it stand out was it's built quality compared to Soviet planes and high quality radio
Hey warthunder. I might have an idea for helicopters. What if they could blow away smoke screens with their prop. (amazing vids btw) keep up the good work!
I love them all except p400. BUT kingcobras are AWESOME. Excelent climbrate (in wt at least) handling at high speed dives is BEAUTIFUL, the armament is very good, sturdy, and they have that so nice design. They are absolutely my favorite american aircraft so far in the game*0*

Tip when flying the P-39, bind the cannon to a different key. Use the mgs for fighters and the cannon for bombers
These and the Corsairs are the only American fighter series I enjoy flying. I just can't stand how the Mustangs control like a 1960s Buick.
Agreed. I never really liked the mustangs, both the rank 3 'stang and the P-51D that I own.

The F4U Corsair, relegated for the marines as land based fighters. The Cobras tricycle landing gear setup have shorter landing distance specially on carriers compared to tail draggers.
I absolutely love flying the Q, it’s one of the few American fighters that can out-climb other nations
P-39N-0 would be my favorite, at its BR the turn, climb rate, and speed are almost unmatched
p-39-N is my fav
"Built an aircraft around a cannon" anyone think that sounds familiar?
You Mean the A-10???
@@juliusclarencemalata413 yes i meant the a-10 :/
most underrrated family of planes in history. Only made like 5k of them and the germans and japanese still feared them. defended australia, and gave the soviets more aces than any other allied plane.
finally recognized talent and warthunder for the LOVE OF GOD PLEASE remove the fugly yellow and white striped skin on the P-63C-5 kingcobra PLEASE put a normal skin on it PLEASE thats all i want and i think i speak for literaly all of P-63 fans
For the A10 you can use 200 eagles to unlock a polished aluminum skin on the Americans. No way around the C5 yet, as both the A 10 and C5 saw use as target aircraft for pilots in the states.
@@mrbyzantine0528 target aircraft? what do you mean by that? because I'm thinking they were used for target practice. which, is a disgrace
This thing is our "Deagle" in WT. Its really enjoyable to do some one taps with p63.
I fly both the P-39Q and the P-63A in my 3.7 lineup and am a huge fan of them. gotta love that big gun!
My favorite historical fighter. Colorful.
Seems like a new update is comeing. I hope after you have given germany new bombers in the last two updates you will finaly ad the B-26 Marauder.
2nd time asking this, when or will there be a feature to test drive/fly/sail every vehicle? P.S. love the show, it can really provide some insight to the game. It’s one of the only things getting me through quarantine!
What do you mean? You already can test drive every vehicle you own. I dont think they will ever make the locked vehicles available for test drive.
You ugly dude no one wants to see your face on YT
Some years back you could get into the CDK and test fly every vehicle you didn't had via using the mission maker and a reserve plane of the nation. People barely played the game because you could just get into it too easily without the multiplayer part.They just didn't like it and I can see why.
I remeber using the p39q 5 without elevators and landed it using manual flap controls
R.I.P the CAF's P-63 and their pilot, one of the last remaining ones in the world crashed over Dallas :(
Well, there's that *other* cobra.
So sad not to see the P39 in the French tech tree, dispite there service in History!
The early Cobra's did have a turbocharger very few planes of the period did what they had was a one-stage mechanical supercharger and thus suffered at altitude
The P39/P38 line in the US tech tree seems to great !
P39/P400/P63 : flying
One bullet : exist
P39/P400/P63 : fireball
I like the p-400
I enjoy the 63-A-10 KingCobra, it's my favorite one to fly next the 39 N-0
YES! My second fav is the P 38 LO.
To the devs of gaijin/war thunder : please make the grind a little bit easier; I spend over 640 hours on this game and I'm only at max. 6.7 br for USA tanks and 8.7 for USA planes rn. Of course I've played some other nations beside America but I think everybody would appreciate less of a hardcore grind. Also you guys would be able to make more money out of the game bc of a bigger playerbase (many ppl quit because of the grind).
You made a beautiful game with so much realistic stuff in it, that everybody who likes planes, tanks, helicopters or ships appreciates! Don't ruin it by letting the playerbase fall apart just because of to much suffering.
The p400 has a 20 mil, not a 37 mil though
Say would you guys be willing to do a video on the Me-262 in a similar format to this one?
Cobra's also had a good reputation for ground support in the Pacific with U.S. troops.
I only have the P 400 but I have learned to praise it it is one of my best aircraft
Congrats on hitting half a million subs War Thunder!!!
P39s also were used by the Australian airforce against Japan , in small numbers, until replaced by P40s and spitfires.
Yes the climb monster of the U.S
I really thought this video was about planes that could do the cobra maneuver 😭
The p-39 was a Beautiful aircraft is was a shame the Americans didn’t use it, although the Russians benefited from this. With there old technology in aviation this was truly a blessing from western world.
It also fit in the requirements far better
Random User exactly it was probably something with the 37mm cannon that the Americans probably didn’t like, so use to 50cals I guess
Preposterous Altercation got a 50 cal muzzle loader and man that thing is accurate and deadly
The P-39/Airacobra mk 1 wasn't any new technology for the Soviets. The thing that made it stand out was it's built quality compared to Soviet planes and high quality radio
Martijn Russians started out the war with the mig 3 and the I-16 and ended the war with the Yak 9 and I-225
Hey, that's me!
Huh? Which variant? 😂
Need q 25 in game and removable gun pods on king cobras to compete with axis aircraft.
Congratulations on 500K Sub milestone War Thunder!
I remember this aircraft specially for its ability to loose its wings in sharp turns.
P-39-N-0 is a good fighter because of its decent turn rates and roll rate. The 37mm is also good for taking down big bombers.
What a coincidence, I unlocked the cobra today and war thunder released a video on the cobra family
Could please someone fix the “Balkenkreuz" on the Ps4 so many Players are still waiting after so many years
500k subs congratulations War Thunder!
Hey warthunder. I might have an idea for helicopters. What if they could blow away smoke screens with their prop. (amazing vids btw) keep up the good work!
Weird how the p47 is considered the A-10s predecessor when the concept of the p-39 was roughly the same as the A-10: “build the plane around a gun”
and similar size gun too, only 7mm difference
I love this plane, it’s so easy to just destroy planes with only a couple shots. The P-400 is the best starter plane
Congrats for half a million subscribers!!!
Pokryshkin’s 39 best Cobra for the Br bar none
I love them all except p400. BUT kingcobras are AWESOME. Excelent climbrate (in wt at least) handling at high speed dives is BEAUTIFUL, the armament is very good, sturdy, and they have that so nice design. They are absolutely my favorite american aircraft so far in the game*0*
p 39 n aircobra is my favourite
because:
head on head combat always win because of the 37mm gun
