The new time limit PLUS all the ticket bleed from groundpounders really limits the amount of fun or solo play carries that can happen in air rb now. its kinda sad :(
Yeah, carried today with 4 frags in D-13 (it was 6v6 match and other two dudes crashed while ground pounding), but got a loss cuz our tickets ran out before the game started bleeding enemies tickets for losing all their planes. And this was a game with 150% booster. I have never gotten Gaijined so hard) I think that with this time limits and with this amount of ticket bleeding due to ground pounders, it would be wise not to substract tickets when one ground unit kills the other one. If course, in this case there will be situations when there's no ground units for one of the teams and it still has tickets, but if one team gets low on ground units due to them killing each other, some reinforcements can show up on either side, so that ground pounders always have units to kill. In this case, you will still have a chance to win, even if you are IL-2 and you are 1v1 vs, say, a 109, and enemy team is low on tickets. But instead of sitting at AF and waiting for time/tickets to run out, you would have to play actively and come up with some sort of plan which would let you get to ground units without being killed. And that would also equalize the situation when there are two pure fighters left 1v1. They would have to engage each other in order to win, while now, if it is a 109 vs a Spitfire and Allies are low on tickets, most 109s will just run until time/tickets run out

But when I play at 1 PM - 5 PM East Asia, the US player is soo good and OP. What kind of Meta is this??
Best 4.3 plane in game. The problem is it really depends on teammates. This is not a good solo fighter. Btw. Roll left and right in front of a 109g2 is a terrible idea. If the guy behind you throttle back and pull up for second shot, you will doomed. You win the loop battle because you damaged hellcats engine. Soo lucky. Also really confused, why you have to attacked the 238 from above? You attacked 162 from below. 238 defense fire is very weak from below because the 20mm cannons are on the top. Why not do the same thing?
Throttling back doesn't slow you fast enough to prevent an overshoot, the best thing he can do is stay full power and go up after the pass. I don't think I damaged the Hellcat's engine, just his oil. I prefer high speed passes, going up from below slows you down and eventually you'll be in the line of fire of a lot of gunners. The last bomber seemed to have less turrets and also I had to kill him quickly before tickets ran out.
@@conorf8091 universal used to be and tracers are too easy to see universal gives tracers AND HE and I break wings plus set fires with universal universal is better before the patches
When you dodge all those head-ons, is it impossible for enemy to hit you or they are really bad? Also when you go from side to side, is it also impossible to hit you or was that 109 really bad?
It's never impossible to hit anyone, but your goal is to make it harder for enemies to hit you. But also missing doesn't make a player really bad. A majority of players are close to average, and that's who you'll typically face in matches.
Fantastic video. I'm sure you've been asked this before but why not tracers on the late war 50 cals? I was under the impression the M20 round is the one to go for and maybe would have helped convert some of those hits/crits to kills? You obviously know your stuff so I'm interested to hear your thoughts!
Have you ever considered flying the F2H? I don’t like jets but you’ve flown all the American props I wanna see, plus I have it researched and I don’t know if it’s worth it
Adam can you teach me how to play, im level 26 ive play at arround 4.3 and 5.3 german, i really wanna be good at this game but its difficult, watching tutorial is not enough for me, i need someone who can teach me and play with me
It's a steep learning curve for everyone, there aren't many shortcuts apart from watching what good players do on TH-cam. I can't give you a personal class though haha.
Hi Adam! I have a friend that have the D-10, and he sayed that its great! You could do a compaesion betwen the f4u's if you want... I would love! But... Wgich us ypur favorite 20mm cannon? And whuch is the better?
2:30 why dont you zoom in.. your aim is soo bad there and its soo easily avoided. generally your shooting style is kinda too "accurate and proud" so you miss a lot of kills.
I can't stand with that stupid US Japan combo anymore, that's the main reason I gave up WW2 planes in Warthunder... The stupid matchmaking just ruined WW2 air battles, it is almost impossilbe to use my USN and FAA fighters against IJN fighters in pacific war maps now
I wish I had more guys like you on my US teams - or atleast some of them watched this.. Or had a brain... Most games are just sad.. Going for bombers first, derping... Never climb, turn fight Zeroes with P-47s etc... Just sad.
That guy had no idea how to properly fly a BF109 to change the course of action. He had a lot of energy but he preferred to waste it away by keeping his nose down after his short dive for hunt which gave you a brief window for a shot opportunity. If i were him, i would go for a 45-60 degree climb, maintain my altitude until i gain a BNZ advantage and hunt you from above. You were at a low altitude with mediocre speed and energy so i doubt you could keep up with a high energy BNZ 109 . In my honest opinion, 109s are the most powerful when they are in experienced hands but they can also be the quite opposite when you fly them like a Spitfire. Amazing video by the way, you surely are a skilled pilot.
Challenge: Play with a tier 1 aircraft and play in a match at tier 3-4 and play 'till u win Also u have to post it on yt (gOTtA MakE u eDit thInGS To mAKe U anNOyEd HahA)
There's the relative speed aspect where you are going towards the shots, so the relative range is lower for him than for you. I'd still say 50 cals outrange what the BV has even from behind.
Hey Adam hello! I have two questions for you. I will be glad if you answer. What is your mouse dpi and in game sensitivity ?? Thanks in advance for the answer.
Hey Adam, how can I fight against p51 as soviets? I feel that I can't fight them in high altitudes, because there they are better at everything, but if I stay low they will boom n zoom and energy fight me until I die. So what should I do?
@@AdamTheEnginerd Yak or La, but generally if I climb a lot with, for example, a yak 3, I will perform way worse at 7000 meters, don't know how to win.
I create a model of the plane and calculate the rate of climb at every speed. You should check out my rate of climb videos for more information. It gives the optimal speed for energy generation for that particular aircraft. There exist an optimal IAS to climb at for every aircraft.
3 ปีที่แล้ว
@@AdamTheEnginerd A model? Oh, so you do it on another program, not testing in WT? Yea, I knew there is a better IAS climbing speed, but that graph seemed really hard to do just by trial and error on WT
@ I take WT aircraft coefficients, use test flight to get the prop efficiency as a function of speed, and then calculate the climb rate for any speed I want.
@@AdamTheEnginerd The issue is that around half of american pilot's don't sideclimb and get donked by everything that can actually climb (Germans, Brits, Italians and Soviets) Then the Japanese players (that are in a serious minority) just can't win against a team that's just... Well, above them.
9:45 - Is your game lagging? Do you have this issue often? I can't play now because of it. Game lag can last 2 seconds and i can even crash. It often happens when i shoot to enemy.
Finally! i wait for so long. I hope one day gaijin will fix rudder issue Most of the time my kill has been stolen by my own rudder, After i fly 51 C10 a lot i feel that C10 is a better plane overall and ofc.. 4.0br. I hope you will try c10

You should do all of the other requests, and then mine last. My request: bearcat with 20 mm or p47 n-15. I’ve been having a hard time turn fighting in the bearcat, and I think the p47n-15 is just straight trash.
GJ ! Pas mal d'erreurs en face mais aussi pas mal de "close call" de ton côté ^^ 0:35 donc un légèrement meilleur D-5 au même BR ? je prend ! (cette vitesse en piqué léger) Pareil pour le D-20 j'imagine. Je ne sais même pas qu'elles sont les différences entre les 2 :D Jamais vu cette carte en RB mais, vu sa topographie, on pourrait penser que les joueurs voudraient éviter les dogfights à basse altitude (avec toutes ces montagnes) ... et pourtant tout le monde était en train de faire exactement cela dès le début de ce match XD Le pauvre Hellcat (ce brave Hellcat !) qui se fait uptier et qui doit affronter un monstre de vitesse. Le P-36 aurait effectivement peut-être pu distraire le Hellcat et survivre le plus longtemps possible pour gêner un des 2 adversaires et te faciliter la tâche ... mais la plupart des joueurs ne réfléchissent pas vraiment à leur rôle dans une situation donnée (ce qu'ils peuvent faire pour leur équipe), ils sont trop occupés à penser à leur score, à vouloir tout faire tout seul pour faire des points et grind plus vite (greedy simpletons).
Merci! D10 a une augmentation de puissance significative comparé au D5, c'est plus proche d'un D30 que d'un D5. Ouais c'était mon premier et seul match sur cette carte. Je ne suis personnellement pas tant fan de ce genre de relief, mais bon. En effet, et c'est à quoi je m'attends de la plupart des joueurs, mais c'est bien de montrer ce qu'il aurait du faire au lieu.
@@AdamTheEnginerd Ah bon ? Il me semblait que le D10 avait le même moteur que le D5 (tout comme le D20). Une carte de plus pour Chine vs Japon est pour moi une bonne chose vu que ça ajoute un peu de variété mais depuis qu'ils ont balancé le seul point historique restant "Axe vs Alliés" aux oubliettes, j'imagine que ça ne compte plus ^^
What US planes do you consider the best to carry US teams with the usual ground pounders and the matchmaking? BR ranges of 4.0 to 5.7. Also, is Universal your preferred .50cal ammo belt or do you switch between the various belts?
I can understand why... yet... Most people are grinders instead of people with the will to learn how to use a plane... Thats why is the best... At least from that point of wiew
Just unlocked the Ta 152-H Since your last video on it, it got a BR increase and FM changes (for the worse). Whats your opinion on it now (espacially while taking a look at the redicules repair cost)
I'm not the best by any means, but I am slightly better than average it seems based on the games i'm in. I play with a controller. It is definitely less competitive than mouse and keyboard but its not such a massive disadvatage as you make it out to be. As long as you have a good control setup (the defualt console cntrols suck).
Great flying, as always. You're boring, Adam! Was there any reason on why have you been using Universal ammo? It seemed pretty bad, no fires, a looot of hits. I am happy to see your subscribers amount growing, are you planning to do some Custom battles with your viewers? Given the fact that your channel and content brings a lot of good players, that would be an immense fun! What do you think of such idea?
Hey Adam, I'm happy to say they fixed the Re.2005, a user on the forum discovered it had about 18m^2 of wing area instead of 20, it now feels right even if I think it should not face p51Hs and spits mk24, do you think those 2 planes need to go up in br, or the re2005 down? Or is it ok where it is right now?
@@AdamTheEnginerd it’s a great plane to practice trigger discipline in. Gotta save ammo. If you successfully hit most of your shots you have enough ammo to kill easily 5 aircraft if your successful. I’m switching to keyboard and mouse right now so I’m flying heavy planes for the extra ammo currently lol.
Hi Adam, thanks for the advice you gave me on fighting 109s in Hellcats. It really helped me out, and I actually shot down so many planes that I got Ace on it purely by grinding. This time I would also like some of your advice when fighting 109s in the P51Ds and H Thanks
Zachary Murphy It is a Arcade map, but for whatever reason Gaijin decided to put this tiny map into realistic in the recent patch. Because they still have no idea what they're doing with this game.
Gaijin needs to change that ticket thing somehow, after enemy lost all their planes it should start dropping immediately, I used to lost a game just like this we've killed everyone on their side but it took too long to start the ticket drop.

Also really confused, why you have to attacked the 238 from above? You attacked 162 from below. 238 defense fire is very weak from below because the 20mm cannons are on the top. Why not do the same thing?
Throttling back doesn't slow you fast enough to prevent an overshoot, the best thing he can do is stay full power and go up after the pass.
I don't think I damaged the Hellcat's engine, just his oil.
I prefer high speed passes, going up from below slows you down and eventually you'll be in the line of fire of a lot of gunners. The last bomber seemed to have less turrets and also I had to kill him quickly before tickets ran out.
Universal M2 belts feel really weak as of late, quite a few of those bursts would have been kills just a patch or two ago
Hmm haven't played enough to notice a difference, but some really small bursts led to crits in this match. Seems like variance to me.
Use tracers. API-T is best belt
Yes! They got nerfed I swear I used to dominate with them, then they got nerfed
@@conorf8091 universal used to be and tracers are too easy to see universal gives tracers AND HE and I break wings plus set fires with universal universal is better before the patches
When you dodge all those head-ons, is it impossible for enemy to hit you or they are really bad? Also when you go from side to side, is it also impossible to hit you or was that 109 really bad?
It's never impossible to hit anyone, but your goal is to make it harder for enemies to hit you. But also missing doesn't make a player really bad. A majority of players are close to average, and that's who you'll typically face in matches.
Fantastic video. I'm sure you've been asked this before but why not tracers on the late war 50 cals? I was under the impression the M20 round is the one to go for and maybe would have helped convert some of those hits/crits to kills? You obviously know your stuff so I'm interested to hear your thoughts!
Tracers are blinding and obvious, so I prefer Universal.
GG Adam!! It’s been a while! I miss flying out with you mate! It’s good to see you in a P51D!
Thanks, and indeed it has been!
Have you ever considered flying the F2H? I don’t like jets but you’ve flown all the American props I wanna see, plus I have it researched and I don’t know if it’s worth it
I wouldn't recommend it.
Adam can you teach me how to play, im level 26 ive play at arround 4.3 and 5.3 german, i really wanna be good at this game but its difficult, watching tutorial is not enough for me, i need someone who can teach me and play with me
It's a steep learning curve for everyone, there aren't many shortcuts apart from watching what good players do on TH-cam. I can't give you a personal class though haha.
Hi Adam!
I have a friend that have the D-10, and he sayed that its great!
You could do a compaesion betwen the f4u's if you want... I would love!
But... Wgich us ypur favorite 20mm cannon? And whuch is the better?
Maybe!
AN/M3.
8:24 EPA approved kills!
I'm an EPA agent!
2:30 why dont you zoom in.. your aim is soo bad there and its soo easily avoided. generally your shooting style is kinda too "accurate and proud" so you miss a lot of kills.
Zooming in would worsen my aim on a maneuvering target, while hiding a good chunk of my vision and hence potential threats.
I can't stand with that stupid US Japan combo anymore, that's the main reason I gave up WW2 planes in Warthunder... The stupid matchmaking just ruined WW2 air battles, it is almost impossilbe to use my USN and FAA fighters against IJN fighters in pacific war maps now
Just had a US vs Japan match, but yeah I get it.
@@AdamTheEnginerd I miss those weekly historical events, now it seems like ages ago now XD
I wish I had more guys like you on my US teams - or atleast some of them watched this.. Or had a brain... Most games are just sad.. Going for bombers first, derping... Never climb, turn fight Zeroes with P-47s etc... Just sad.
Tale as old as time.
@@AdamTheEnginerd Yeah..
That guy had no idea how to properly fly a BF109 to change the course of action. He had a lot of energy but he preferred to waste it away by keeping his nose down after his short dive for hunt which gave you a brief window for a shot opportunity. If i were him, i would go for a 45-60 degree climb, maintain my altitude until i gain a BNZ advantage and hunt you from above. You were at a low altitude with mediocre speed and energy so i doubt you could keep up with a high energy BNZ 109 . In my honest opinion, 109s are the most powerful when they are in experienced hands but they can also be the quite opposite when you fly them like a Spitfire. Amazing video by the way, you surely are a skilled pilot.
45-60 degree climb??
@@AdamTheEnginerd yeah no wonder i failed in math. I meant 9-10 degrees not 45-60 dude my bad. Thats rocketship stuff.
got wifi and got back into war thunder a week ago, first match got 5 kills... not bad for a 6-month break
Nice!
Challenge: Play with a tier 1 aircraft and play in a match at tier 3-4 and play 'till u win
Also u have to post it on yt (gOTtA MakE u eDit thInGS To mAKe U anNOyEd HahA)
Nahh haha.
@@AdamTheEnginerd DO IT
Nice video on the P-51D-10 showcasing exactly how not to fly it. I'll be sure to take notes for future reference.
Thanks!
nice play.... console players have better gunner handling, good to now :) greetz
Thanks!
And that's not what I said haha.
I think the bvs guns out range the 50cals. Correct if wrong but I’ve been killed because my shots weren’t getting there.
There's the relative speed aspect where you are going towards the shots, so the relative range is lower for him than for you. I'd still say 50 cals outrange what the BV has even from behind.
@@AdamTheEnginerd at that range your just tickling the Bv anyway...
Bruh that head-on in the beginning was a risky move considering you were facing a Spitfire
I'm in the better plane for a headon imo.
Hey Adam hello! I have two questions for you. I will be glad if you answer. What is your mouse dpi and in game sensitivity ?? Thanks in advance for the answer.
I don't have a DPI number, in mouse settings it's a bit higher than the middle mark. In game it's default.
@@AdamTheEnginerd thank you so much 😊
Hey Adam, how can I fight against p51 as soviets? I feel that I can't fight them in high altitudes, because there they are better at everything, but if I stay low they will boom n zoom and energy fight me until I die. So what should I do?
Depends on the plane you have, but generally you'll climb and turn better so use that.
@@AdamTheEnginerd Yak or La, but generally if I climb a lot with, for example, a yak 3, I will perform way worse at 7000 meters, don't know how to win.
Phenomenal video as always, and it’s very impressive that you’re replying to all these comments. o7!
Thanks, o7!
How did you the graph at the beginning? Everytime you climb at 260 km/h for example your climbing at the same speed??
I create a model of the plane and calculate the rate of climb at every speed. You should check out my rate of climb videos for more information.
It gives the optimal speed for energy generation for that particular aircraft. There exist an optimal IAS to climb at for every aircraft.
@@AdamTheEnginerd A model? Oh, so you do it on another program, not testing in WT?
Yea, I knew there is a better IAS climbing speed, but that graph seemed really hard to do just by trial and error on WT
@ I take WT aircraft coefficients, use test flight to get the prop efficiency as a function of speed, and then calculate the climb rate for any speed I want.
@@AdamTheEnginerd oh wow awesome stuff
just found out they make trading cards with ww2 planes and stuff:o
Oh?
I feel that US+Japan vs the World is the most imbalanced matchup their is. I get a 60-75% WR in the World team
75% seems very high. US+Japan is often hit or miss. With bombers it's a miss, with nearly pure fighters US+Japan is very strong.
@@AdamTheEnginerd The issue is that around half of american pilot's don't sideclimb and get donked by everything that can actually climb (Germans, Brits, Italians and Soviets)
Then the Japanese players (that are in a serious minority) just can't win against a team that's just... Well, above them.
thả tim nè
Haha ok?
9:45 - Is your game lagging? Do you have this issue often? I can't play now because of it. Game lag can last 2 seconds and i can even crash. It often happens when i shoot to enemy.
No, why did you think it was?
That kind of thing happened 5 years ago when I played on a bad laptop sure, but not since then.
@@AdamTheEnginerd Ok. I saw some lags in your game and now i dont see it so it is my computer issue. Thanks for answer.
Can you play the squadron 262? Thanks it’s so hard to play at 7.3 now
I don't have it actually, but yeah its BR is too high for what it is.
@@AdamTheEnginerd ok, Do you know of any way to ask Gaijin to make it 7.0 again?
Finally! i wait for so long.
I hope one day gaijin will fix rudder issue
Most of the time my kill has been stolen by my own rudder, After i fly 51 C10 a lot i feel that C10 is a better plane overall and ofc.. 4.0br.
I hope you will try c10
I don't think stolen is the right word for that haha, but yeah I understand.
C10 is on my list!
nahhh its a joke ofc xd
So Gaijin should make a flight model less accurate?
Hey Adam, any chance you can do a vid in the XP50, TA154 A1 or BF 109 F4?
They are on my list! I have 1 video featuring the F4, it's not a complete match though.
@@AdamTheEnginerd I shall check it out, thanks man :) Do you have any tips for getting aces? I always get 4 kills and then the game ends, however if I play more aggressive I get dragged down and die
@@AtomicMonkey923Play to win instead of getting kills, you'll improve and the aces will come with time!
@@AdamTheEnginerd it’s a slow progress, using the xp50 and learning how to bnz in different American planes made me a much better pilot, usually my problem is the match ends cus i side climb too much or I have to rtb. Learnt so much from your videos man, made me 4x as good as I was, keep up the great work!
@@AtomicMonkey923 Time limit of 25 min doesn't help with that either.
Thanks for the support, I will!
Is this how most of your battles look like? Getting around 5 kills?
I average 2 kills per game, so no.
Could you do a video detailing your set up in terms of your mouse button mapping, key mapping and mouse DPI etc?
Let me slap a please on that :)
My settings are essentially default, with MEC added.
That 2v1 was something out of a movie man, very nice... so much skill
Thanks man!
The more prop pitch, the more velocity you'll gain?
For most planes, prop pitch should roughly equal throttle %.
Would you recommend to always use vertical targeting or use it depending on the plane and guns ?
I never used it, I don't recommend it.
Aight, i always used it but i tried without it and its better without it
How is p51d-20-na? Is it good? I wonder if it is worth it at 50% off
Nah it's like a D5, not worth.
Do you have vertical targeting on? If so Howcome you do?
I do not.
50 cal is okay, but with bad rudder?
That's terrible
Rudder is indeed unfortunate.
Would love to see spitfire mkv/b trop, I feel like british HEI have been fixed
It's on my list!
nice video so far but can you play with swedish planes it's even better than the american ones
btw in headon i don't dodge
i spray
I have played with Swedish planes though, the J21 and J35 for example.
@@AdamTheEnginerd oh ok
Are you the D30 isn't better? I recommend you to fly it again, it's amazin
For the BR, this is better imo. D30 is just slightly better than this, but faces stronger planes.
@@AdamTheEnginerd In your opinion is there any actual difference from the D-10 to the premium D-20? Iirc it's 4.3
I see that the sun rays and fire graphics changed a bit since I last played.
And the smoke effects too! Am I correct?
Yeah, changed a few months ago.
@@AdamTheEnginerd btw nice flying, I haven't watched your vids in a while, and generally I had a break from wt and I forgot how well you play...
Congrats, and stay safe during the pandemic!
Thanks! And likewise!
It’s all fun n games until Adam rolls side to side to lure them closer 😳
Yes ;).
Adam is the Ki84 ko about the same as the otsu just with different guns can you explain the strengths of it and how to play it if you don't mind
Yeah same thing, good climb and turn, average speed.
@@AdamTheEnginerd thank you I appreciate it, can't wait for another video they're always great keep up the good work
My pleasure!
Request: can you make a video of the f2g 1? Or at least you got it?
I don't have it yet, it'll be on my list though.
@@AdamTheEnginerd Roger that
Nice flying. Hey, could you please take out the F4U-1D? I'd really love to see a video from it + I think you haven't uploaded a video of it yet.
Thanks!
It's on my list!
I love using fast and nicely-climbing fighters like the P-51Ds and P-47s against slow and very turn-y planes. Too bad America gets matched up alongside Japan these days.
Yeah, US against Japan was fun.
F2H video next please? That jet gets zero treatment outside people saying they hate it.
Probably not.
@@AdamTheEnginerd aww man
You should do all of the other requests, and then mine last.
My request: bearcat with 20 mm or p47 n-15. I’ve been having a hard time turn fighting in the bearcat, and I think the p47n-15 is just straight trash.
They are on my list! P47N without airspawn and with the new time limit is definitely a struggle indeed.
@adamtheenginerd Could you give us some examples of how you run your simulations in matlab?
Yeah I can send some to you on Discord if you want.
@@AdamTheEnginerd heck yeah! DocRocknHolliday
#3838
It would be better if you sent me a message on Discord instead (link in description).
GJ ! Pas mal d'erreurs en face mais aussi pas mal de "close call" de ton côté ^^
0:35 donc un légèrement meilleur D-5 au même BR ? je prend ! (cette vitesse en piqué léger)
Pareil pour le D-20 j'imagine. Je ne sais même pas qu'elles sont les différences entre les 2 :D
Jamais vu cette carte en RB mais, vu sa topographie, on pourrait penser que les joueurs voudraient éviter les dogfights à basse altitude (avec toutes ces montagnes) ... et pourtant tout le monde était en train de faire exactement cela dès le début de ce match XD
Le pauvre Hellcat (ce brave Hellcat !) qui se fait uptier et qui doit affronter un monstre de vitesse.
Le P-36 aurait effectivement peut-être pu distraire le Hellcat et survivre le plus longtemps possible pour gêner un des 2 adversaires et te faciliter la tâche ... mais la plupart des joueurs ne réfléchissent pas vraiment à leur rôle dans une situation donnée (ce qu'ils peuvent faire pour leur équipe), ils sont trop occupés à penser à leur score, à vouloir tout faire tout seul pour faire des points et grind plus vite (greedy simpletons).
Merci!
D10 a une augmentation de puissance significative comparé au D5, c'est plus proche d'un D30 que d'un D5.
Ouais c'était mon premier et seul match sur cette carte. Je ne suis personnellement pas tant fan de ce genre de relief, mais bon.
En effet, et c'est à quoi je m'attends de la plupart des joueurs, mais c'est bien de montrer ce qu'il aurait du faire au lieu.
@@AdamTheEnginerd Ah bon ? Il me semblait que le D10 avait le même moteur que le D5 (tout comme le D20).
Une carte de plus pour Chine vs Japon est pour moi une bonne chose vu que ça ajoute un peu de variété mais depuis qu'ils ont balancé le seul point historique restant "Axe vs Alliés" aux oubliettes, j'imagine que ça ne compte plus ^^
Ah nice, you must have flown this right before I got on and asked you to squad in the P-51D-10 but you had to leave lol
Think it was the day before, played a few games 2 days in a row.
What US planes do you consider the best to carry US teams with the usual ground pounders and the matchmaking? BR ranges of 4.0 to 5.7. Also, is Universal your preferred .50cal ammo belt or do you switch between the various belts?
F4U4B, P38L, P47D28. I stick to Universal.
The Best D variant, only because the premium bonuses, sad noises >:,v
I don't consider the bonuses when judging a plane.
I can understand why... yet... Most people are grinders instead of people with the will to learn how to use a plane... Thats why is the best... At least from that point of wiew
Just unlocked the Ta 152-H
Since your last video on it, it got a BR increase and FM changes (for the worse).
Whats your opinion on it now (espacially while taking a look at the redicules repair cost)
Yeah it's now fine at 6.0.
Console players can only play bomber or they have a massive (trust me when I say massive) disadvantage
Yeah it's substantial.
I'm not the best by any means, but I am slightly better than average it seems based on the games i'm in. I play with a controller. It is definitely less competitive than mouse and keyboard but its not such a massive disadvatage as you make it out to be. As long as you have a good control setup (the defualt console cntrols suck).
Great flying, as always. You're boring, Adam!
Was there any reason on why have you been using Universal ammo?
It seemed pretty bad, no fires, a looot of hits.
I am happy to see your subscribers amount growing, are you planning to do some Custom battles with your viewers?
Given the fact that your channel and content brings a lot of good players, that would be an immense fun!
What do you think of such idea?
Universal seems to work best for me.
Maybe eventually, but I'm currently at the busiest I've ever been in my life, so maybe when things calm down.
Hey Adam, I'm happy to say they fixed the Re.2005, a user on the forum discovered it had about 18m^2 of wing area instead of 20, it now feels right even if I think it should not face p51Hs and spits mk24, do you think those 2 planes need to go up in br, or the re2005 down? Or is it ok where it is right now?
Re2005 is 5.3 no? So it doesn't face Mk24 (6.7). It's probably ok where it is now.
@@AdamTheEnginerd spit mk24 is 6.0 on the tech tree, wiki is outdated
Euh it's 6.7 in RB.
Sorry, for some reason seems like it bugged out, it was showing air rb right under the "to battle" button, but in reality it was in arcade
@@AdamTheEnginerd but what about the p51h?
Try using SB2C-4 with gunpods
I wouldn't use gunpods on them though.
Is swear they have upped the repair cost on this plane once again
Oh?
ive been flying the p51 c, its a really good plane
It's decent yeah.
I don't know how you people get more then 2 kills in an rb air battle but I would like a video on the He 162
I already have a video on the He162! With 6 kills too ;).
@@AdamTheEnginerd So you don't need to climb high? Just low and hunting for ad4s?
@@andbaasandash5190 Can't compete with prop climb anyway, so don't need to climb high.
While this may be the best p51D for the br the best p51 for the br is definitely the C-10
2 less guns is significant, even though in my experience with it I could still kill nearly as well as with 6 50 cals for some reason.
@@AdamTheEnginerd I have the same experience in the P-51C. I somewhere wouldn't be surprised if Gaijin secretly buffed the mid war 50 cal belt.
@@AdamTheEnginerd it’s a great plane to practice trigger discipline in. Gotta save ammo. If you successfully hit most of your shots you have enough ammo to kill easily 5 aircraft if your successful. I’m switching to keyboard and mouse right now so I’m flying heavy planes for the extra ammo currently lol.
I’ve been flying this plane a ton recently. Pretty much grinded the Mig-21PFM solely with this plane. Great performance for its BR.
Yeah, though it sits at the weakest BR for US teams. Makes for generally fun games.
How about the D20 NA? Is it better than D10?
Worse, lower power.
Hi Adam, thanks for the advice you gave me on fighting 109s in Hellcats. It really helped me out, and I actually shot down so many planes that I got Ace on it purely by grinding.
This time I would also like some of your advice when fighting 109s in the P51Ds and H
Thanks
My pleasure, good hunting!
Isn't this an AB map, when did those become available in RB?
Don't know, but it was my first match on this map.
Zachary Murphy
It is a Arcade map, but for whatever reason Gaijin decided to put this tiny map into realistic in the recent patch. Because they still have no idea what they're doing with this game.
Chad P-51 vs Virgin Bf-109
Haha!
Do you know which p51 is the same as the j26?
D5/D20.
Gaijin needs to change that ticket thing somehow, after enemy lost all their planes it should start dropping
immediately, I used to lost a game just like this we've killed everyone on their side but it took too long to start the ticket drop.
Yeah for sure, I've lost a dozen of those or so.
long time german player just getting the 51s and watching ur vids has me demolishing enemy teams. have a 2.0 currently with both d’s
Nice!
Those bombers basically threw the game by not climbing/running/camping the AF. Amazing game design.
Yes, brilliant indeed.
Please play one of youre favaroute spitfires...
Maybe!
Seeing the F3D would be poggers
Maybe!
