Interestingly enough Phly, there was a gunship variant of the B-17 developed during the war. It was designed to support standard B17's with up to 30 machine guns. The creation of the P51 and Thunderbolt ended the program rather quickly.
Day 182: Phly, you should play the Hawk III Chinese fighter; 900lbs of bombs in a biplane at 1.0 that you can dogfight in after dropping. Totally balanced.
I am proud to say that Seafire you shot down at 8:34 was me! This is the second video I made it to, I was in the intro for the M60 AMBT as well :) While everyone is putting in requests, I would love to see a combo video of the OF40 and F84G for Italy at 7.7. The OF40 gets an LR and the F84G gets a running start after reloading/repairing making it possible to do a bunch of bomb runs. P.S. Loving the combo videos, keep it up :)
I remember first getting the F82, it was the same feeling as when i got the F5E for some reason, the Brrrt brings out a sort of child hood giddy that can’t be described
Artillery Challenge: Shoot indirect fire with a self-propelled howitzer. Maybe use a teammate with a lazer range finder and to act as a spotter. Like so he can see it please. I got this idea from another comment @K G
They did indirect fire in one video. Granted it was only one match, and it was one of Phlys friends who got the kill... but still. I forget the video, but it was a derp vehicle... German I think? Maybe Swedish
Aww missed out on an opportunity to talk about the M3 .50 cal gun over the M2 .50 that's in the gun pod. The M3 .50 was built for aircraft and has a fire rate by itself of 1000 to 1200 rounds per minute, just as fast as the MG42, but with a .50 cal. Crazy crazy machine gun.
My strategy with big boy tanks like the one in the first clip is to take your time and place your shots right were the rotating gun connects to the rest of the vehicle. It doesn't do a whole lot of damage but it will spit some fragmentation into the crew and ammo supply if you're lucky. Just keep hitting it over and over generally the second shot will kill the drive/gunner
Its pain for me too...went to 5.7 cause I wanted to use the m18 / m36B2 , but I cant play the sherman like Phly can, I try and hull down, but I get wrecked, might be because I still dont have APCR unlocked, I think thats it. #1 priority
Phly when will you come out with a Baby Tigor bobble head? I need one to put on my truck so folks will see how we roll!! How cool would it be to see that rollin down the freeway!!
"I need to track him to where he can't get me." Holds fire for 10 seconds with a perfect shot while enemy is sideways and then tracks enemy as soon as gun is turned towards him.
Hey phly, it’s my birthday in early may! I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and I love your content and I would love if you could do a video of the mosquito as it is one of my favourites 🙏
I have been playing this game for over a year now. I watch Philly and still have no idea how he does it. I also just learned that you can select your support plane?
"... wouldn't it be cool if you could call in a B17 bombing raid or something." That sounds awfully familiar, hm, maybe ground arcade might remind me of something.
omg finally someone feels what i mean when i say jumbo doesnt have enough pen at its br, like it works sometimes but then you get shots like that and it causes pain
the B-17 was capped out due to weight restrictions and would've had to cut it's bomb load in half. there was old 13 that was refitted as a gunship recon aircraft that had a cannon mounted for the pilot to kill the Japanese tactic of head on avoiding all the gunners. and 17, .50 cals. they were a rag tag crew of crazies that were repeatedly disciplined for their actions and grounded on a regular basis and wouldn't have ever gotten a plane of their own if they hadn't stolen all the guns from the other planes and made their own out of the old 13, that no one wanted to fly. It had a history of coming back with very few crew before they got their hands on it.
I play the King Cobra all the time. It was my first premium and I still love it. Gotta know how to fight panthers and Tigers but if you can use APCR correctly they arent too difficult.
You need to try the me 410 b6 take hvap for the twin 30mm and it shreds in ground rb, i got 8 kills in one life with it and im not even good at the game! the kv1c 756r is also a great tank to spawn it in with
Phlys Jumbo: *shots bounce off enemy tanks at point blank range* Jumbos i face: *miracle pen at 1km against my angled armor* Edit: goddamn i cant type half asleep
That moment when there's an A-26 with 14 forward facing .50's(8 nose mounted, 6 wing mounted) at 5.3 that can also carry 4x1,000's and has turrets to defend itself. It's not a bad CAS option tbh.
Hey phly I’ve just been playing random vehicles in random lineups and one vehicle I personally have had a fun time with and nobody plays is the MARS15, it’s an 8.0 interesting light French tank. I just think you should give it a shot :)
The fact that the cobra king can even face the tiger 2 is proof how far gone and broken the tree is. Its a premium theyre letting get mauled. Not to mention i end up facing tiger 2's almost every game i play the jumbo
@@bro3217 the Jumbo has literally zero place fighting anything above 5.7, it can't touch panthers, Panzer IV H's can ignore it, and T-34-85's can facefuck it effortlessly. even against 4.3 or 4.7 tanks, the low velocity 75mm gun struggles to pen mediums and other heavies at that BR. the only reason it's "OP" is the frontal plate, which can be pretty easily defeated by derping a shot through the MG port.
me personally i suck at the game and everything went down hill at 3.7 and i got slightly better but i get proud of myself when i get three kills so when phly said move the jumdo to 8.0 i was thinking how much i would rage i still struggle a lot at 6.3
the b-29 was supposed to be upgraded to the Super Wasp engine from the P-47M the Pratt and Whitney R-4360 or something but i think it was canceled or something, i just remember it from some documentary.
You should play the F-82 again in ground RB. Now that it has the customizable load out, I think it's one of the most versatile aircraft for the BR. I like to put the gun pod on it and twenty rockets for dealing with anti air:)
15:18 - 15:45 Change the tanks around a little bit - replace Phly's with a Sherman Firefly and that Tiger II to a Tiger I, and that's basically the movie Fury's climactic battle almost 1:1 right there.
Hey Phly maybe it is the perfect timing to play the Bf109 Z as an direct comparison ;) in the past years there are almost no newish videos about this plane
I fonly they had ever thought to take the 5 inch (76.2mm I believe) naval gun and put one in a plane with the VT shells, would have made a great bomber killer. Or light target killer. Closest is the PBJ-H with a 75mm cannon.
Yoooo when I saw you I didn't believe it!! I dove too hard and lost my wing doing that cowboy shit. Love your vids man hope I get matched with you again.
"they really need to bring a low tier call in" hahahahahahahahaha. you've just set my brain into motion. give me some time and I'll come up with something. an idea a proposal, something cool. like it is the 1930s and 40s era so things were very, interesting when it came to ideas.
