My grandpa flew a4s as a nuclear attack bomber from the midway, as well as being a test pilot for the bullpup missile program. Needless to say the a4 is a personal favorite of mine
Phly, aka Steve, love your vids man! Just a fun fact for you since I've heard you say it about aircrafts a few times now. The large Bomb or loads that the aircraft carries actually DECREASE the shear stress on the spars, as it counters the lifting force of the wing. Think of a free body diagram of the lift force vs the weights of all the objects on the wing. This is why planes put fuel tanks on the wing, it is actually minimize stress on the wing itself. I am a mechanical engineer and studied aircraft structure design university :) thought you would find this interesting! Keep up the good vids man!
@@SonsOfLorgar the drag force on the bombs will create a load on the spar in a different way. It actually creates a moment (or torque) about the spar. So yes, in some ways it will be strengthened, but in torsion not vertical plane.
Phly, If you look at 10:32 you only had a 1.0 sec delay fuse on your bombs, that and them being in such a combined space was probably the reason for your tunnel run destruction.
It's tragic, but I know why you died in the tunnel run. Some of the train carriages are the fuel ones that explode on contact with things, such as bombs hitting them. So you set off the carriage which then set off all the bombs killing you
FYI: if your tailhook is missing the wires, try using takeoff flaps instead of landing flaps. It gives you much higher AOA, so you won't stall even if you miss the wires.
Happy bday phly its an honour to share a birthday with my favourite youtuber, ive been looking forward to this day just to tell you this i love your videos especially the tiger ones;) Im saying it on this vid because im going on a roadtrip amd i may miss todays upload Love from a devoted fan;)
the Sheridan and M60A2 really are underrated. Sure they underperform against composite armor tanks. But melting enemies with the HEAT or ATGMs feel so good.
Its funny how the replay shows it completely different from how it played out on client. Replay it almost looked like type bombs chain exploded, but the client clearly showed that it was because it thought you clipped the roof (I think the collision mesh is too low)
Day 250: Phly, I challenge you to the conphusing aerial smokescreen challenge. Destroy three enemy aircrapht with smoke shells in a single game. Good luck. o7
It's impossible to kill something with smoke, it would require you to shoot multiple times at 1 target to just damage something. I suggest you stop because you are wasting your time. This applies to aircraft as well
Hey phly, just a quick note. When you switched to the gun pod load out you said that you had 4 x 20mm cannons when in fact you had 5 as the a4 had 2 x 20mm internal cannons not 1.
as he is about to exit the tunnel you can see a slight climb the top of his vertical stabilizer hit the roof, watch it again you will see it as he is coming out of the tunnel, hence the pitch up crash
I used this sale to bought me a full german lineup. Was at Jagdpanther before this. Have now: Leo L44, TAM2IP, Class 3 P, G.91 and Bo 105 and with 200 Backups I am at top tier very fast. With all the GE I bought 6 Level 70 crews. But don't do this when you don't have any other nation on top tier already.
Phly Phly Phly Phly!!! you can land on heli pads with the yak 38 and the harrier using the vtol machanic and repair and resupply your jet. totaly should try it out in battle. also merry christmas and have a happy enw year
The N model A4 is allot louder than the E model and K model in my opinion when I heard one take off thought it had an after burner when I was working on a contract at an airport
Phlybowsi said "tunnel", haven't watched the rest of the video yet; however, a Rolling thunder tunnel run would be extremely satisfying, fingers crossed!🤞
that exactly how i would describe WarThunder. just today i had a match where i spotted an enemy....waited for the right moment....began moving to get in the right position to kill it.......then get instant killed from the side by A FICKING ANTI AIR!!! Almost Phun
I've been almost having fun in War Thunder by doing high speed low pass carpet bombing with the Viggen's 120 kg bomb loadout. How's that going, you might ask... well I killed an ADATS in its spawn so I'm pretty happy with that. Can be some serious fun on the right map. Flying trees or rooftop level, dropping 16 bombs, and full afterburner back to base. Great video Phly. Giving me more ideas of how to make this game almost fun.
Hey Phly!!! If you love the A-4 in WarThunder, you should give the FREE A-4 mod for DCS. Very well done - as good as any paid module - and v2.0 is about to drop!
@@chickennugg3847 literally soon(TM). Haha. The devs haven’t given me an exact date yet, but I “know a dude” who’s put together a really rockin hype trailer for it!
this is why you delay bombs phly. . . pullin stuff like that with assault fuses gets you killed alot try the run again with a 1.5 second delay and you might MIGHT!!! pull it off safely
hey phly. just wanted to let you know that my friend Susanne committed suicide less than an hour ago by gunshot. I was the last person she confided in before she left to put a bullet in herself. It's such a weird feeling to have just been looking into her eyes and hugging here an hour and a half ago to comfort her. I cant sleep so im passing the time with some mcdonalds and your videos, thankyou for being here and bringing a smile to a bad time
*Welcome back everyone!!!*
Can you pls play the bearcat
Wooo thx Phly!
Hey Phly !!! love the vids!! Can you do some more phantom cas with different loadouts!! Keep up the great work!
Thank you mister
I live u dad!!!
Didn’t think I’d ever see Phly rage but damn it adds to the enjoyment of the video lol
I'd love to see a series by Phly showing how fast he can grind a new account up to jet tier without a press account.
Yesssss
what's a press acoount?
That’d be a long series
That would be a lot of suffering, and selling own suffering is what youtubers do best.
Yees!
Game: Almost Fun
Year: Almost Over
Phly: Always Great
Hotel; Trivago
Covid got “final blow” on me
U mean “phun”
@@SupaMan2122 phinal blow you mean?
Man that carrier landing was sweet, you even hit the third rope, like RL pilots aim for. Heck yeah carrier landings in Ground RB! \o/
And he put the trust at 100% as the protocol says irl
But he did forget to close the canopy before launch XD
Did my first jet carrier landing this month so proud of myself
@@SupaMan2122 woo hoo nice job dude now try to land a heavy bomber in a carrier
If you slow it down, you can see he hit the two wire actually, but still, not a bad carrier landing at all.
My grandpa flew a4s as a nuclear attack bomber from the midway, as well as being a test pilot for the bullpup missile program. Needless to say the a4 is a personal favorite of mine
Midway only carrier I’ve been on, really amazing vessel

the more you know!
But what about drag?
@@SonsOfLorgar the drag force on the bombs will create a load on the spar in a different way. It actually creates a moment (or torque) about the spar. So yes, in some ways it will be strengthened, but in torsion not vertical plane.
This is one of the most interesting comments I've seen in RUclips in a long time (or ever, I think).
If the aircraft is in a moderate positive G turn, wouldn't it increase the shear stress on the wing spars though?
Phly, If you look at 10:32 you only had a 1.0 sec delay fuse on your bombs, that and them being in such a combined space was probably the reason for your tunnel run destruction.
isnt it another death message of you suicide by bombs tho?
@@henrikt.183 wut
I think his bomb hit the tipped over tanker car and exploded tbh
i like how this is the second time he's had to go into the replay because of this tunnel
yeah, the first time the bomb just went yeet to the side
When the Ozelot killed the Convertible Skyhawk... I died inside with you Phly. We all did... BOOOOOOO!!! indeed. 🥶🥴
The worst thing in WT is helipads AA and flares of night missions, this was a great video 😍
I agree, it ruins so many air support runs and the AA get so dedicated.
Also hi there Hunter.
I love the vids phly, your the reason I started playing War Thunder. Keep up the good work.

**EPIC MUSIC BEGINS**
Me: "Oh, that means he's about to splatter all over the terrain."
4 years later, still no B-26 Marauder... Thanks War Blunder!
Btw Phly, some planes do actually spawn on the carriers on Normandy, such as the SBD-3.
(I think)
most naval aircraft spawn on the carrier if you choose it
“Oh, you’re a pilot? What kind of plane do you fly?”
“I fly a 172 skyhawk. Look up the A-4 skyhawk it’s very similar”
Happy bday phly its an honour to share a birthday with my favourite youtuber, ive been looking forward to this day just to tell you this i love your videos especially the tiger ones;)
Im saying it on this vid because im going on a roadtrip amd i may miss todays upload
Love from a devoted fan;)

PHLY, THE SAME PERSON THAT MADE THE MIG-25 USER MISSION MADE AN SR-71 BLACKBIRD MISSION!
7:35 that compass sliding into DMs be like
13:26 you can see the sparks on the ceiling
Yup, clear case of misaligned hitbox
The updates done to the a4 skyhawk on dcs are absolutely insane. If you ever do another dcs video you gotta cover it.
Day 301: Phly, I challenge you to get 8 kills in one game with the SU-5-1. This MBT/Tank Destroyer is severely underloved in your channel.
“I was enjoying myself a little too much last game, I was really feeling myself”
-phlydaddy 2021
7:07 Skyhawk jiggling it's cute little legs cuz it's so excited
Losing the canopy was a neat moment!
Its funny how the replay shows it completely different from how it played out on client. Replay it almost looked like type bombs chain exploded, but the client clearly showed that it was because it thought you clipped the roof (I think the collision mesh is too low)
13:26 if you look closely, you will see the sparks from the hit boxes. that shows how big hitboxes in warthunder are or it was just a desync.
Heli AA be like: "ayo watch yo jet bro"
Argentine Navy skin on the A4 lets you fly lower, at deck level :)
Just imagine the face of British players facing It, especially in Naval Battles...
Day 250: Phly, I challenge you to the conphusing aerial smokescreen challenge. Destroy three enemy aircrapht with smoke shells in a single game. Good luck. o7
Day 250 of having no life. Tragic
It's impossible to kill something with smoke, it would require you to shoot multiple times at 1 target to just damage something. I suggest you stop because you are wasting your time. This applies to aircraft as well
8:28 this I-18 guy was like "He needs rescuing!!!"
"its like punching....ok... i gotta be careful with this one..." BAHAHAHA dude. im ded.
Omg I could feel the anger in Phlys voice in the end there
8:50 10/10 on that shot
Hey phly, just a quick note. When you switched to the gun pod load out you said that you had 4 x 20mm cannons when in fact you had 5 as the a4 had 2 x 20mm internal cannons not 1.

#72 Loving the Unloved: Play the lovechild of a Spitfire and a Mustang. The MB5 that even you hate.
Try the Mig-19S in Ground RB. It’s 37mm can pen up to 54mm with AP-T and has APHE. Enough to kill AAAAANNNNYYYYYTTTTHHHHIIIIINNGGG from the top
Gotta love an uncensored Phly
I got PTSD in that first match cause the last time you played an A4 on normandy an alouette handed your ass to you with rockets.
7:38 i’m a convertible 😂😂😂
the reason you failed the tunnel run is because you bombed a bt5 and a stuart
Skyhawk landing on british carrier giving me 1982 vibes
Loved the video Phly. Kids, if you're gonna spend your hard earned money in this game, just remember the snail motto "It's almost phun".
John Mccaine simulator. Pulled up too early and clipped rudder
Everyone wish Phly a happy birthday! 🥳 Happy birthday Phly!
I am watching the tunnel part right now, i don’t know if he’s going to make or not.
But i have faith in you comrade.
"Almost Phun"
-Phly 2022(ish)
Exciting video! Bummer about the tunnel. Wouldn't be surprised if the hitbox for it didn't completely model the arched roof.
"I'm a convertible!"

Yo, that Marine Corps skin on the A-4 ha VMFA-211's logo. love the some of the detail in this game.
Phly Phly Phly Phly!!! you can land on heli pads with the yak 38 and the harrier using the vtol machanic and repair and resupply your jet. totaly should try it out in battle. also merry christmas and have a happy enw year
I rate your shot at 8:40 an eggnog/10
Congrats :)
Lol @ 17:00, reassuring to see even Phly gets salty sometimes

The US jet powered IL-2, aka. a shit flying traktor!
Seriously, those helo-base AA's are ridiculous. You're practically over the battle area and already getting lit up.
The money in the CD drive at the start was very appreciated by me 🤣
Yeah so funny him advertising for a scummy ass company
I have been waiting this video for so long!
dude the Convertable is like the Midway Mission on CoD Vanguard he litt dogfights with the cockpit open with a SB2
"what you want me to do?" select air RB.
Can we please adress the fact that it's almost 2022 and gyjin still doesn't have a rewind feature for the replays
Cant wait to hear about some kid taking you seriously breaking their brand new PS5 they got for Christmas lol
I remember when you was flying in the fw190 with the big boi bomb and died in the tunnel 😂😂😂
15:02 me every time i chase a plane i damaged thats going back to his airfield
8:40 ill give it a 7 out of 10 for giving it a shot :D
probably the blast effect of the bombs

Why'd they randomly exclude rank 4 from the sale? I was planning to get myself the Tu-1...
this is why you delay bombs phly. . . pullin stuff like that with assault fuses gets you killed alot try the run again with a 1.5 second delay and you might MIGHT!!! pull it off safely
I get the feeling Santa gave him coal.
Music for tunnel moment is 100% appropriate)
7:31
a4e turn into a convertible
lessgoo
Gaijin should add a feature where heli-pads don't shoot the "Premium" jet planes 👍
next you should do the Skyhawk with the 171 rockets, I feel like this would be a bigger challenge than the bombs
Yeah that chopper AA is ridiculous I am 6km away from the chopper AA and it still shoots at me
hey phly. just wanted to let you know that my friend Susanne committed suicide less than an hour ago by gunshot. I was the last person she confided in before she left to put a bullet in herself.

11:57 you get killed by your bombs shockwave
Ohhhh ya rolling thunder in the A-4!!!
He didn't hit the tunnel at all. The first 4 bombs went off and he didn't get out of tunnel in time.
I did as you said phly. I trusted you. You owe me a new computer
A4 kills Wiesel 1a4
“Boss you killed a child”
All the best to you and your family for the new year ... And oh yeah happy birthday.
this video is my reason to grind america
Gotta enjoy how the tech tree Skyhawk can carry 9 500lb bombs but the premium can carry 14
it's actually a squad vehicle so you don't have to put in any real money to get it. Just join a squad and collect the green
Its not a premium
oh and i havnt heard phly make toilet noises for a while😄😶 5:35
Ground effect pushed you into the top of the tunnel
phly: playing dumb today
me:(bomb has CCRP)
Play the Italian AS-42 with the ap rounds 60mm of pen at 1.3
Phly you should make a video on the Sea Vixen since you haven’t used it any of your videos plus that it’s a fairly unique plane
Same happened to your YAK 38 a couple of months ago
