War Thunder, it's almost fun! It feels like the matchmaking is designed to frustrate you at times, only facing highly manoeuvrable fighters while in an interceptor or getting a map with no bases when you switch to a strategic bomber. Finishing up research on the Javelin, just a matter of time before I join you in seeing nothing go my way in a Lightning!
Haha! I was trying to do something a little serious, but the matches just weren't going my way. The irony, was that later, after i'd done this video, i got the perfect kill using the method i wanted to show . . . .
The EEL in WT is half the plane it should be. Many people consider the EEL as an "Interceptor" due to it's role in the RAF but it was designed as a "Fighter" and it's handling qualities were far better than the Hunter F9 and it did not bleed speed like a delta but could turn like one due to it's unique wing design. The single inlet feeding two stacked Avro engines meant that the EEL has 50% less frag than Phantoms and twice the power of Mig 21's. The aircraft was so stable that the RAF pilots in Akrotiri used to practice shooting the metal buckles that attached the towed target as they deemed it certified the kill quicker, thus saving fuel and time and earning a crate of beer in the officers mess. The practice was stopped when one F6 ingested the debris and wrote off the aircraft. The F6 climb rate was 50,000 feet per min and it was faster and quicker than an F15. The F53 version was capable of Mach 3
haha! I know this might not be to kind of thing matt, but another warplane flight game is Warplanes: WW2 Dogfight. Here’s the link if you want to try: apps.apple.com/gb/app/warplanes-ww2-dogfight/id1444886764

The javelin used to be really competitive, but not so much anymore
@@mattssecondchannel That may be the case, but I'm still just a sucker for the Lightning.
@@threadfall100 it is a good plane, it just suffers in WT
I like it when you're just goofing around xD

@@mattssecondchannel That's usually how it goes for me too :)
@@johannrothoff6897 it's just murphy's law i guess
1:41 lol
Yeah, sacrifice a red top to the sun god!
@@mattssecondchannel if you would have done it in the beggining you would have killed the first guy
Maybe 😂

Fascinating! Yes, it’s not a particularly competitive aircraft in WT all the time due to gaijins nerf
ELECTRIC LIGHTNIIIINNGGGGG
Is one of my favourite planes in the game, despite its struggles
Wow! My faveroute modelling youtuber plays my faveroute game!!
Haha! I'm glad you are happy with this extra content :D
you should make more videos on this channel! they are very entertaining
Thanks! Yes, I will try to when i find some more free time :D
You should make a squadron, i would definitely join!
Also, you should watch this video about dodging missiles if you haven't seen it th-cam.com/video/8Ij4Tc4-HYk/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, pretty sure I saw that when it first came out. Although helpful info, i have tried to apply the tips but it doesn't always work
I'm a Rank III in the American planes on the Xbox
I test fly the Harrier and A-4 when I'm bored lol
I test fly some planes on occasion too - usually when someone kills me with it and I try to figure out why and what I should do about it
Hey Matt can we do a community-fun thing on war thunder on a livestream here
maybe, all depends on how much time i have
@@mattssecondchannel I remember the stream last March and it was a blast
@@sparetime2475 :D
Nice one Matt, what other content are you looking to put on here?
All gaming
more war thunder as I play that the most, but probably other stuff to - basically anything that isn't modelling
@@mattssecondchannel nice, I'm looking forward to it
@@juststuff8742 i hope i manage to upload some cool stuff
What tree are you working on right now? I’m going down the American one and I’m almost one rank 4 I think, haven’t checked in about a week
I’ve tried doing some work on the Chinese and Swedish trees recently
@@mattssecondchannel cool, I hear the early Swedish tree is a pain
I’m pretty early on in it, struggling to level up as they aren’t particularly competitive, grind is real
It doesn’t look electric to me it looks jet powered
Yeah.... strange 😂
haha! I know this might not be to kind of thing matt, but another warplane flight game is Warplanes: WW2 Dogfight. Here’s the link if you want to try: apps.apple.com/gb/app/warplanes-ww2-dogfight/id1444886764
looks interesting, i'm not gonna be able to do mobile games though
@Matt's Second Channel ahh ok. love your videos on both channels! :D
@@mattssecondchannel its on the microsoft store, for computers as well. although its more of an arcade game than a proper flight game
@@MikoyanGurevich-xc7ft yeah . . . probably wont get that one
Thanks!
I’d happily play a game or two with you 😜
we could probably make that happen at some point
Count me in. I suck at not sim tho
That’s just over half a squad....
Would be fun :)
I suck at sim, don’t really have the controls for it though
