    4:24, that background soundtrack could not be more appropriate. Exactly what would play in a protagonist outnumbered scene.
    EDIT: Physics video on flaps would be awesome. "Poor turn" and "good flaps" seem to be contradictory, although I can see the Spitfires easily having the opposite description so I think maybe "strong flaps"(durability and/or low speed lift boost(?)) or "quick flaps" may be better future descriptions.

    Impressive fight, dealing with so many enemies at the same time.
    You've been flying at 105% throttle. Full WEP is 110% but a red "WEP" appears above 102% throttle so it can be misleading.
    Difference in actual horsepower with throttle between 102-110% is very very small though, so you probably had only ~1hp less than normal. Still, it's inefficient ;)
    Overlay made by "Overlay Guy" is pretty and I like it.
    However, i think WTRTI - War Thunder Real Time Information overlay is better. It can log data into .csv and has indicators such as "turn time" and WEP remaining" which are useful. It's also available for everyone.
    Overlay Guy has a competition :P

    • @AdamTheEnginerd

    • @StealthySparky
      @StealthySparky 4 года назад +1

      Just balance the game and rework the game modes (let's start with that).
      Firstly, a lot of aircrafts, especially at low Tier and mostly Axe's ones, have weird low BR for their performances.
      Next, WT devs don't seem to know what to do with bombers and attackers in Air RB, so you either have them being useless or end the match in 5 minutes.
      Three or four years ago, they introduced late game groups of vehicles and give attackers/bombers who are still alive late in the match a chance to be a threat and finish it. And did a pretty good job at first. Then for no reason they nerfed this mechanic to the ground by making them appear so late they are now pretty irrelevant (because you often kill the enemy team before that) and you need to destroy a whole group to make the enemy team lose tickets. And on top of that they nerfed the amount of tickets bleed.
      In fact one of the only time a bomber won against my team (fair and square on Sicily) was back then, by rushing one of those group of vehicles and destroying 2 or 3 right under my nose. I saw him (a B-17 or B-24) too late and we lost because of my lack of vigilance.
      I really have no idea why they nerfed it when it was better than what we have now. Gaijin never really comment their decisions on those things which is another bad thing about them, lack of communication.
      EC also gave a place for bombers where they would be more welcome.
      Adam, there will always be newbies/mindless grinders and experimented players, the probability to always have balanced teams is therefore pretty low ;)

    Oh un premium, c'est rare ! Le new overlay est cool aussi ! (même si un peu trop sombre je trouve, je ne pouvais pas le lire contre le bleu du ciel)
    Le son de la musique et des moteurs était plus fort que d’habitude, non ?
    3:00 Ouais, pour comprendre la haine des joueurs chasseurs contre les avions d'attaque au sol/bombardiers il faut que ces mecs réalisent que comme ils sont inutiles car ils ne peuvent pas combattre en équipe avec les chasseurs, cela signifie que les joueurs en chasseurs vont surement être en sous-nombre. Génial pour ceux qui apprennent à jouer !
    4:40 J'adore voir ce genre de "lemming train". Les mecs sont 4, ont clairement l'intention d’attaquer la même cible mais reste groupé juste en dessous.
    Après, à cette altitude, même en s'organisant ils auraient eu du mal mais quand je vois le combat final avec le G-6 qui avait l'air d'être assez serré je me dis que c'est sans doute leur première erreur du match. Dispersez-vous un peu les gars (sans relâcher la pression). ^^
    10:57 ouais là j'aurais tout de suite commencé à flipper. J'ai cru qu'il allait t'avoir à la verticale.
    Magnifique combat à la fin, j'ai ris quand tu l'as fini alors qu'il ne te restait plus de carburant. :D
    Du coup, entre cet avion et un P-47D, tu conseillerais lequel ?
    Dernièrement j’essaie le « Fakefire » mk.16 pour débloquer le Spitfire mk.5c et j’ai vraiment du mal à l’utiliser. Il est spaded mais je tombe systématiquement sur des FW 190 Doras et Ta 152.
    En fait je me suis fait mouché en energy fighting contre un FW 190 A5/U2 en seulement 2 boucles à environ 380 km/h (meilleure rétention d’énergie on dirait). J’ai cru halluciné : je savais que ce FW 190 en 4,7 était pas mauvais mais qu’il gagne à la verticale contre le Fakefire ça je ne m’y attendais pas ^^

      Haha ouais kill sans carburant! J'avais sûrement pas besoin de l'achever, il n'allait pas pouvoir retourner à sa base.
      Cette avion est un premium, donc P47D28.

      Finalement, pour débloquer le Spitfire j'ai essayé le 1er Typhoon et c'est bien plus agréable. Non seulement il a un côté nostalgique pour moi mais en plus il n'est pas trop mauvais pour du 2,7 ... après on fait face à des bf 109 F-1 et F-2 mais au moins j'ai l'impression qu'il y a moins de bombardier chez les Alliés en bas Tier (en tout cas sur mes dernières parties) ou du moins c'est plus équilibré entre Alliés et Axe à ce niveau (et pas trop de bombardiers super-rapides non plus). Et niveau grind, il n'y a pas de pénalité donc cool !

    I think a good solution to the ridiculous allied ground pound spam at 4.0-5.7 would be to remove the ability to configure ur plane in the first few minutes of a battle and only do it either in the hangar or after about 5 muinites. That way u could classify all ground pounders who set bombs on in hangars as attacker class aircraft and control their numbers without hurting the team as much. U might still get some people who just wait on the runway but anything right now is better that spawning in to see two people on ur team without bombs or rockets. Anyone else got problems with this theory?

    You laugh at the bomber trying to get you, but the other day a Ju288 ripped of my rudder doing so. His teammate was very injured already and I could sit on his tail and eventually deal the killing blow, and sure, it was probably a lucky shot, but it could have been very bad for me.

    If u don't have a 144Hz monitor try to use Vsync to lock fps in 60 or 75 fps (depending of your monitor). This feature will make the graphics a lot smother and give less stress to your vga and processor. No point in get a lot of fps that you monitor can't show and this option avoid tearing in image frames.

    To start positive.... that dogfight was something else man. Great performance by YOU. But !!! Full downtier was so much in your favor. I think all of them were Trops and that G6. You can clearly see how stupidly OP and easy are german planes. You had almost non fuel vs G6 with unexperienced player (i checked his stats). The difference between him and you is so big but he does not have any trouble of keeping up with you in 4.7 plane. Germans are really weirdly OP. And he tanked shots exc.... Thanks for video.

    Every time I use a high altitude fighter such as a P-47D/N, I always have that altitude advantage, but every time I dive on an enemy, they always loop downward, so I go back up to force them back up to my altitude, and then the cycle continues. What do you do in this situation? How do you properly utilize the “boom and zoom” tactic. It’s not working for me.

    • @AdamTheEnginerd
      @AdamTheEnginerd  3 года назад +1

      Yeah you're doing the right thing. Make sure you switch targets to the enemy with the highest enemy. If you're alone against multiple enemies, they can keep doing that while others climb away, and unless your aircraft significantly outperforms them it's very tough.
