- The P-59A is the '$1000' Jet Fighter in War Thunder that sits at BR 5.7 which is completely insane!! In fact, I'm pretty sure the P-59 is the lowest-rank jet aircraft in War Thunder. Currently sitting at a maximum price of $1150 (but can be bought for about $200) this thing is mad.
Today, I take out the P-59A in Air Realistic Battles to give some prop-fighters a little bit of a scare and make my own team rather confused...
I hope you enjoy the video!

The fact this thing is at 5.7 is beyond hilarious 😂
The fact that it costs so much is hilarious to.😅
It was originally 5.3 when I bought it for $30 back in 2019 lmao
american planes are generally undertiered
Theres also a rank 3 british jet as well
@WeBeStronk where does it say the p59a is worth 1k?? I bought it a while ago for like $150
A P-59 spawned on my team a few weeks ago. An F-82 dove and TK'd it taking off. So I TK'd the F-82. And that, my friends, is War Thunder.
Honorable sir.
Balanced, as all things should be.
I have an unconventional tactic with this thing. Low and fast on the deck. Whatever i can't outrun ill outturn. It climbs poorly anyway and outruns almost everything at treetop level.
How do u expect to outturn top prop planes in a jet that isnt good and has bad turn time clown
Bro i was so suprrised when i first fought the thing. Me being the guy with over 2000 hours my buddy who was new was like what do i do? Im like well ive never seen the thing but its a jet so try to out turn it. He was like well it out turned me and killed me. I was like what if i try to outspeed it. And i pretty much did.
Its a very confusing vehicle because it doesnt fit the fast but can't turn style of the early jets.
@@DevinEMILEtheres one thing you can always do with any jet which always works, get it slow and it's easy, you just have to pray he gets slow or falls for bait
@@anrw886well norm ya, with this thing no, the slower you are the better it turns😂 its wayyyy op but its also a glass cannon and have been shreded by one tap from 7.62 mm
@@Rono99 just try get it into a rate fight I would, if it turned into a turn fight it'd be time to run away and try again
Remember when the ki10 could helicopter climb straight up? Yeah, they fix that and gave that ability to yaks.
Its kinda wierd that their are the only planes in game that has a perfect instructor that helps keep your guns on target even in a stall.. if they stall, which the yak3u just doesnt xD
Ki-10 VTOL was a mood to be honest
Only the best for Russia I'm sure
@@casematecardinal cope
I hope they add the p59b to the tech tree at some point. Would be nice
It's an interesting plane so would be cool! Wonder if they won't though due to having too many jets at low tier.
@@WeBeStronk the p59 is balanced alright in my opinion. It was one of the first and the first fighter jet so it some obvious weakness
If you are in a vertical stall duel in a P59 with similar energy against a solid turn fighter, as you approach full stall, the P59 has good roll authority that can be used to flip your turn to horizontal. With flaps deployed you can retain full control, leaving them to struggle or flop around before pouncing as you follow their drop through the middle of your turn into a dive. Fuel load also makes a huge difference against Spits and A6M* variants. 8 minutes doesn't last long, but there is little the P59 can't handle in it's BR range if their only trick is to keep pulling back on the stick.
Thanks for the tip!
This thing was actually made during the war and was built around 2 years prior to Germany first using the Me262. The US was going to put them into service by 1944 but the performance to cost wasn’t great compared to the existing fighter props we had.
It was canned in the end, because it was a waste of materials. Just like the German Jet fighters ended up being.
Would have been a good interceptor or attack air craft
It also did not turn irl like in the game, gaijin had to make it sell somehow
If Yak's performed like their real life counterparts they wouldnt be anywhere near the plane they currently are in the game. Yak's werent bad by any means, but they werent even close to being as good as they are un war thunder.
I watched a mini documentary about the Mig 23 and how it wasn't nearly as good as the soviets hoped it would. The F4 phantom was still better than them in performance I think. Of course, in Gaijin's War Thunder, the Mig 23 absolutely dominated until the F14 was added
The Yaks are mostly as good as they are because they’re lower BR than most of their contemporaries. For example, the Yak-1 has the M-105PF engine, which was introduced into service in the middle of 1942, so that variant of the Yak would be about contemporary with the Bf 109F-4; I think the PF engine entered service a little bit later, even. However, it’s at 2.3 along with the Bf 109E-3, which saw most of its action in 1940.
German pilots were told not to engage yaks in combat. So it checks out.
They are low alt beasts
@@terminallydrunk1900 not in war thunder, they're every altitude beasts, but yeah in real life if german pilots engaged them about 6000 feet the 190's and 109's both had the advantage.
Well, we all know that the Yak performance is based on sekrit documents xaxaxa
Da comrade )))
Brother?
That Re at the end cleanin up, love it
Right? MvP for sure!!!
I remeber when the P-59 was sold on the Market for 20$. I picked it up because I missed the event. I've never had so much fun with an aircraft. I think Gajin has just forgotten about it because with flaps this thing TUUUUUUUURNS. Love this thing.
It's really underrated I think!
Just noticed after watching a few vids. A Brit using imperial measurements, what a chad.
metrics just better though
@@GGuLost1 no

That stuttering is a new occurrence and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one experiencing it. Lowering graphics settings helps, and moving from my SATA ssd to m.2 helped a bit as well
Nice little sash - Ecuador tune in the beginning
I have this jet. It is hilarious and fun. Very very glad i got it
It's very fun!!
I unlocked this thing back when it came out for Operation SUMMER alongside the AUBL HVG during my time in college.
Still have it and it used to be one of my favourite 4.7s in the game before the BR increase.
It's still got a bug where you can go mach 1 in certain scenarios and still turn on a dime without wingripping :^)
Game Engine Physics miscalcuations ftw.
I need to know this Mach 1 trick 🤣
@@WeBeStronk In certain diving angles you can genuinely go (close to) nose down then back up and hit mach 1 then pull out. Issue is, if you do literally any maneuvour other than a straight pull up and if you stay too long in the dive or twitch even slightly in the dive you'll wingrip or the game engine won't break in the right way and you'll lose your speed oddly.
It's something to do with either Axis Angles or Euler Angles. You'll probably be able to pull it off best in a custom server tbh, it's a pain in the ass to do now in live battles because of enemies swarming you or something stupid.
Though the admission is it's two mathematical errors at once. You don't *go true mach 1*, the game engine just thinks you do. You only go like 750-880km/h now. It used to be true mach 1 (1185+km/h) at a less harsh angle (though pulling out of this was near impossible and yet still scared the shit out of Yak-9 pilots lmao).
It was a little known issue caused by giving the P-59A too much or too little stats in certain categories related to the engine, wings, control surfaces and pilot.
@@faei1897does it make a sonic boom
@@weltall7283 Used to back on release.
Doesn't anymore.
You need to give the ratel 20 a spin, good old ATGM :D
Fighting Tigers with it is hilarious, i've seen a few of them get angry after being killed by them even though the only redeeming factor is the ATGM which is really good. Makes a really fun lineup with the Strikemaster, G6, Charioteer, FV4005 and Tortoise too
Now that the MILAN missile launcher has a separate view scope, just barely exposing the launcher from behind cover is so much nicer to do and much cheesier, but hey! It was a struggle bus to begin with!
lol 😂 I lost when you started trynna do your textbook bf109 flip on the bf109
Humming Ecuador at the start of the video, good taste
POV: You're a '90s lad
For stuttering in the game, check to see if other apps that are running such as your browser are using "hardware acceleration" and turn it off in their settings if they are. That helped me at least.
I'll take a look!
When you want to do that maneuver to drain its energy, try to make circular turns as you go up, like a whirlpool (try not to be in range to avoid lucky shots), You should always consider that everyone can outlast you trying to shoot you, so take it easy when you want to do those maneuvers.
10:23 I had the same sort of reaction when I actually looked back and noticed this
Well that you mentioned spitfire mk9 , how about good old LF mk 9 video sometime in the future ❤
Not a bad shout! But I'll have to play some other nations first, I try not to have too much of one nation in recent videos 😂
I hate my P59. It's a glass cannon. Falls apart if it gets hit with one little 30 cal bullet.
this is the kind of guy that i run into on br 2 on my second day playing the game while he's spawn camping me with cash shop planes that defy gravity. and then I get perma muted for describing him.
I was thinking about subbing but once he said Nani i was sold fuckin love him already
Over the following months, tests on the prototypes and pre-production P-59s revealed a multitude of problems including poor engine response and reliability , poor lateral and directional stability at speeds over 290 mph (470 km/h), so that it tended to "snake" and was a poor gunnery platform. The performance was greatly hampered by the insufficient thrust from its engines that was far below expectations. Gaijin flight model historical accurate
I sold mine for like $160 a year or so ago
You said we got the speed let’s not stress but I was thinking let’s not compress🤣
To be fair it doesn't compress *too* bad 😂
Mmmm yak-3ufo moment at its finest
Man you be surprised 😮 what yak 3 can do but you could definitely out turn him
Damn I remember seeing this thing in a 4.7 plane or more accurately hearing it I was so confused
I miss the days when the .50’s had 1800 rounds. Still a fun machine for sure
Remember when this aircraft had an after burner thing going on?
great vid
Thanks dude!
Picked mine up for $15 some time ago.. wish I'd got a couple extra.
I remember when this first came out and it could out turn every other plane before they fixed it, fun times
I do think I remember it being a proper UFO
Nothing except the Zero can outturn that thing. I bought it for 50 bucks in 2020.
The best thing about taking rare vehicles out for a spin is watching the chat come up with the funniest stuff you'll read all day 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly 😂 the confusion is the best part!
need to upgrade keen vision in your crew and look at what max distance below and above is on that plane
Do you have MG and cannons on different key binds? That’s cool lol
Yeah machine guns on my 1 key, cannons on my 2 key!
this man is too happy to be playing warthunder.
just a happy boi
ran into one in my 152h, he overcommitted and got dunked on by my wingman lol
ngl he did a lot of lurking
A 1000$?
I shouldn't have popped the voucher then. xD
Eh... fun to fly.
Oh, i have this piece of shit. I got it from a crate and i was so mad cuz it was not a coupon. Might try to fly this sometime later
Oh isn't that the plane that i sold for like 20 GJN back in the day...
It's a shame it's so expensive, would've liked to have played with it
I've seen this thing just one time in GRB
i didnt even know this plane existed
Isn’t the that j9 something jet in the Swedish tech tree 4.7?😊
What's the nose art decal you use?
I had this plane for over a year and I still dont think I have a single kill with it, I always just get 1 shot by some 109 I never saw or gunned down by a spitfire
I think bro likes the turn time💀
I do 😂
YOU FOOL THE SNAIL IS GOING TO FIX IT
The 20mm can also kill light tanks and even medium tanks in air rb
37mm
I have that jet but when I got it it was only $50 at the time
I wish I would have sold it. They killed the ammo count smh head my head shaking in disbelief
playing mp/h and feet units
is crazy
hes british they use imperial AND metric beacuse they made both
germany also had a 5.7 jet with the me-262
The 262 is not 5.7 :)
webe what belts are you using? I never get short burst kills on it
Forgive me as my memory is a tad hazy but I believe tracer on the 50's and Air targets for the 37mm.
Chan Chan, Ai Chiki chiki ban ban, ai chiki chiki chan chan
That thing is broken and always has been. Needs to be bumped to 6.0 or 6.3. If you meet one that has an altitude advantage, you're most likely going to die. It's an energy fighter that turns pretty well. If the guy flying it is any good, you're going to WEP your engine to death trying to stay out of his guns, or make a mistake and he's going to go verticle and then roll over on you and you're dead. The only prop that can really handle it well in good hands is the Spitfire Mk 24, and it's a full BR higher.
so i got the p-59a voucher but the yak3u just feels like a better plane to fly.
@@tylerbanns9515 😂😂
Me 262 with the 50mm cannon is 5.7 in arcade
I only see that plane 2 times in my life and never see it again
The lesser-spotted P-59A is a rare sight!
Still mad that is not 5.3 anymore, i have so many old event vehicles from back than and this is one of them
I can only imagine the chaos this thing brought to RB at 5.3
@@WeBeStronk i found away with max crew to outturn any zero or spitfire , i dont know if they update the fightmodel inbetween but it is just funny :)
I was in a p-39N-0 and a teammate asked if I was in a jet this video might be why
the jet sounds like my ps4 lol
hahah thinking a Spitfire is scary than an Yak-3 U gold, the Yak really needs to go upto 6.0/6.3
It was at 5.3 till not too long ago.
I vaguely remember, which is even more crazy!!
I play it comfortably against 7.7 jets in ground matches. It can't keep up, but if they are dumb enough to scrub speed or attempt a turn, it's often over quickly.
Its 5.3 again lmao
@@smokyz_ since when?
@@Schnipah They had recent BR update.
I hate fighting this thing in anything
Just force it to run out of energy than it's DONE
I got it from ice cream box this summer, this was the first box that i opened
I think I did as well!
@12:27 "These are a problem."
Nah, they were 3 noobs chasing a bomber. Almost always the least skilled players on the team. Not to mention, 2 of them were A7M1's, which means they most likely paid to be at that tier. Context clues will always give you an edge even in 3v1's.
Me who got that shit for free years ago
Last time I check, it was 200 dollars. Has it really increased to a grand in a year?
they need to add it into the tech tree
There was a P-59B Past to devs years ago. And someone found a different model in the game files for it at one point in the last two years. So maybe. But you never know. Technically Britain had 1 as well. They got it in exchange for a Meteor.
@@DevinEMILE it would be a great low tier add that would be super fun to fly out
How do people get into battles with 8 aircraft? Im stuck at like 5
wyvern is a turboprop and its at 4.3
Isn't a dedicated Jet aircraft though, Turbo props are a whole different thing entirely!
Mega epic 😼
I KNEW I WASNT GOING CRAZY
Crazy? I was crazy once...
Imagine the down tiers 💀
some jets need a lower br, me163 for example.
Not the me 163 lol
You sound like if stampylonghead was evil 💀
You're the second person to say this 😂
Isn't there a variant of the Me262 (with the 50mm cannon) at 5.7?
Its at the same rank of some props, so I get your confusion, but its BR is 6.7, The ME262 would be OP at lower than 7.0 because its quite descent of a plane if you know how to fly it, though with the 50 mm its not as practical so it got 0.3 lower. The HE162 is 6.0 which in my book is close enough.
@@skyekid1 I am running at 4.7 at the moment and I swear I was running into Me262s the other night and they were murdering damn near everything in the sky.

Around 9.0 you can be a flareless jet fighting all aspects.

How did I face this in a 4.3 plane
This can only go down to 4.7 so not sure on that one.

It's still 5.7 in RB thankfully.
God, why does it have to be more then 100 bucks like jeez (ig its balanced though)
In all fairness mate, the fact a virtual plane is £60 is already nuts 😂
