Noice! Laggs are also much nicer now. btw, 0:57 La-5 doesn't become suddenly weaker when it loses WEP, if that's what you meant. From 1km up it starts to lose power, and when WEP turns off at 4km it starts GAINING power for a while cause 2nd gear enganges. You can see it if you make a graph at wtapc
It does start gaining power at 4km after the switch but the highest engine power in the 2nd gear is about 300hp less than the highest engine power below 3km with WEP. The net difference is that everything with this engine losses about 300hp above 3km compared to what it puts out below 3km.
@@bahayesilyurt9433 In the trailer, the Soviet pilot put a Masserschmit in a similar trap, where he forces it to stall out before him, then guns it down. Slightly different there, because i think it was a Hammerhead maneuvre, but principle is the same.

That decompression explains why I couldn't reverse a la5 a couple days ago in my p47. I just thought the p47 was that much of a boat... nah this thing now can pull 9 gs... great.
@@guilhermeito2295 It actually is good as it got the same change as the La-5s did. It likes to go fast and it is relatively fast for the BR being faster than the Yak fighters and can now use that advantage in dives. The Yaks still climb and turn better but the Lagg-3-66 is very much in between the Yaks and La-5s in terms of maneuverability.
@@guilhermeito2295 I remember the old days of LaGG-3 having too underpowered engine. Recently I was flaberghasted by a Lag-3-66 doing circles over my Bf109 E-4. The engine overheat and I couldn't climb up to him so I had to dodge his attacks until he got bored and switched targets.
@@panzerwafflez7228 Storm warning hasn't released so there are no patch notes yet. The last major patch had these changes. If you want to see what Gaijin has listed then when the patch drops look for the patch notes message on the left of the player.
Because Gaijin in their glories wisdom implemented realShatter, which you might think is a lot more realistic than a shell exploding in sphere. Yet then after bugs and complains they just turn the damage slider of shell fragments all the way up to max. So now it doesn’t even matter how much explosive your round has, damage is going to be nearly the same because all the over the top damage now comes from the fragments. In fact ShVAKS with 96g shells will deal more damage to a plane structure than 20mm Hispano shells weighing 130g. The only advantage of the Hispano is that it deals damage in a greater area.
@@TheLazyKatFucks up means it destroys components. It doesn’t cut a planes wing or tail off. There’s literally no point to any AP ammo for attacking planes anymore. Even freaking 20mm Practice shells were used as penetrating rounds for air combat, during WW2, and were frequently loaded together with explosive rounds. WT damage mechanics are just a joke.
that's the first thing ive thought of... how on earth does a f4u4 now compress more than la5? Never in my days would i have thought that to ever be a case. It's like they swapped their flight models. The f4u1's, arguably the better f4u's br for br, still don't compress. And La5 was already goated... it was already competitive.... smh bad priorities. They are just continuing the trend of Russian planes (but the i225) somehow being immune to compression. I get they rip fast but that's hardly ever a problem. I wouldn't be surprised if they made the i225 better at higher speeds too. This change to the plane warrants at least a br of 4.3, as it's not really much different from the la7 any more.
@@ushikiii "And La5 was already goated... it was already competitive.... smh bad priorities." La-5s weren't goated before this. They were just above mid. They liked being fast and needed to be fast but couldn't really be fast because they started to compress at 340mph IAS and were completely locked up by 360. As for comparison to the La-7? The 7 is around 30mph faster at all relevant alts. It is still way better than the 5FN. That said I do think the 5F and 5FN could go up in BR by one step. This buff isn't bad priorities given that it was based on historical documentation. It is bad priorities to ignore historical fact based bug reports. As for the F4U-4? That is closer to historic than the -1s and both should be dang near identical. Compared to the Las the Corsairs should be better. "But you said the La buff was historical." Yes, in the sense that it was locking up way earlier than it should have been. It is still pulling too many Gs, as are most fighters in game. Most WW2 era fighters shouldn't be pulling more than 7-8Gs. My issue is that Gaijin is artificially choosing what can pull more Gs, and how much more they can pull, arbitrarily. The worst offender getting the biggest over buff being the A6Ms. This unfairly distributed overbuffed compression is something I have been complaining about for about 8 years. Defyn even responded to me in a video years ago saying that he didn't care about this. Defyn saying that he wouldn't recommend avoiding going above 4km in this video was also directly to me. That said I was making that recommendation in the past for 2 major reasons and one of them is now gone, the crippling early onset elevator compression.
@@rainsilent please. For the sake of readers. Write in a more breif manner. Or at least segment the comment to seperate comments. I said it's not much different from the La7, the main difference being that its slower and the la7 still compresses less. Its extremely hard to reply to a 300 word paragraph on a phone. Not going to talk about the other points. I keep on having to go back and fourth between this comment I'm making and urs. Maybe I'll reply when I get to a computer.
Lighter weight meaning better climb and turn. The difference is noticeable in a same plane 1v1 but in general practice you would be hard pressed to feel the difference. Personally I go without as I'd prefer the performance and do everything I can to avoid getting hit in the first place.
Realshatter. Due to realshatter frag does the most damage. MG151s didn't have a lot of frag whereas Shvaks did. This is also why HMG caliber HE is cracked at the moment. Historically raw blast was the best way to deal damage to WW2 era airframes and frag was nearly useless.

6:28 one question here I notice you going straight vertical there after merging with the bv If you went diagonal there and put it in a upward 2 circle here would the bv literally kills u because of the turn performance it has?
he has to go vertical there to keep the bv's turn radius cut, this both keeps him out of the guns of the bv and forces it to lose more energy faster. if he goes flatter like you said then the bv will conserve its energy long enough to eventually turn into the la and get a shot, this is all about energy here and since the la has more energy he wants to abuse that to get the bv to stall below him.
A6Ms still have completely ahistorical elevator pull. Historically no A6M could pull inside of a P-47 at 300mph IAS. The fact that they can still pull inside of anything up to about 430mph IAS is the major crutch that is keeping them up at 5.0+.
@rainsilent ah yes, an ahistorical aspect of a plane causing a BR elevation... If only that was consistent. I'm almost certainly the reason for that is because the game does not typically include G-limiting means in the game, meaning unlike real-life where the plane would only be allowed up to 9G's worth of deflection (if the pilot could pull the stick that hard), in game it could go to whatever maximum deflection it can because we don't care about high-G stress damage because it isn't simulated. Furthermore... Get off your damn high horse in calling it a "crutch". It is quite literally the only thing it HAS to use at 5.0/5.3 (depending on if it is the Ko/Hei) and in the case of the Hei, it is at best, maybe 3.0 for plane performance, but because of the guns it's at the same BR as the actually agile M5/Ko, even when everything around it beats it in just about every other measure.
@@user-gv4zb9rc6u The reason for it for the A6Ms is Gaijin needed them to fill a gap in the Japanese tree. That was their response to my bug report on it some 7 years ago. For a long time the only thing from 3.7 to 5.0 was the A6Ms, the Ki-43-3 and the J2M2. Overall Gaijin had fighters overperforming in terms of the elevator for gameplay purposes. Also am I on a high horse when you even call it a crutch because... "It is quite literally the only thing it HAS to use at 5.0/5.3..." ...this is literally saying the exact same thing. How is recognizing this putting me on a high horse?
I’m starting to see more of there just being teams of almost straight bombers/strike and they just suicide ground pound for a couple of minutes until they die while 1 person just stays at their airfield. It’s annoying because there’s no way to beat it and you just lose on tickets
@@DEFYN the timer is so horrendous, making it easier to end a match by hitting ground targets was the only change they really needed to make so you can just focus ground if enemies are camping/running. also shortening the time was overkill.
Which doesn't make a lot of sense really - hispanos had higher velocity rounds and more explosive per round, but don't seem to perform nearly as well as the shvaks in-game.
You're fantastic edit: At 1:03 ish you accidentally say "Having a little bit of altitude in your *tank*..." instead of aircraft, but no big deal obviously.
Thr La11 was my favorite Chinese plane to grind with and I totally skipped the LA series planes in the Russian tree because I didn't know how to use them. As China I didn't have much choice on playing it lol 😆
I don't play nor intend to ever play the Russian tree, but the La-5, La-7 and especially Yaks feel ridiculously OP when fighting against (and that was generally my experience from playing Hungarian Yak-9). Compared to Italian planes on the similar BRs they are in general superior in every aspect. I know they are supposed to get weaker above 4-5km, but that's not where the fights are in the current meta. And even then fighting Yak-9 in Bf-109 is very challenging. I feel like BRs 5.0-6.0 (maybe more) require serious decompression in general, but Russian fighters ought to get a hight BR.
The La-5s could stand to go up a step with this buff. Select Yaks are under BRed too. Specifically the vanilla Yak-3s, that should be 4.7 and maybe 5.0, and the 3U and 3VK, both of which need to go to 6.3. The Yak-1B and 9 could arguably go up a step too. Beyond that the rest seem fine to me. So long as you know the weaknesses and can exploit those weaknesses they aren't too difficult to handle. The Hungarian Yak-9 isn't OP. It just happens to be a jack of all trades that has a performance strength it can leverage against anything it faces. This is true for Yaks in general when they aren't under BRed. The issue is that there are so many players that are bad that anything that handles well can dominate because of turn meta. The Yaks happen to be the fastest planes that also turn well, sans the Typhoon, meaning that if you know what you are doing they are great do anything planes. As for compared to Italian fighters? Because Italian fighters are over BRed for the most part. None of the 205 family is better than 4.3. Same can be said of the TT G.55s. The Re.2005 is a worse Mk.IX Spit (the 4.3 Mk.IX) that sits up above 5.0 because player base.
Yak-15 for lulz MiG-9 into MiG-15 into MiG-15 bis. Don't bother with the rest. Unlike American Rank 5 they are all their own kind of whacky and only the MiGs hold their ground.
@@DzinkyDzink The hell? Su-9 is a literally better Me 262, being a good all-arounder, the La-200 has cracked speed and climb for its BR and the La-15 is literally one of the best 8.0 jet, having great acceleration, amazing agility and well-placed guns with a good amount of ammunition. Just because you didn't bother to play them, don't say lies.

F4u4b and f2g are my favorite planes in the game . The wep on the f2g will last the whole game , its limited on the f4u4b so late game the f2g is still a monster and the 4b is pretty good but not a monster
@@ScribesTV Well i think on Air Sim F2G1 is amazing! But fells like Corsair are Litle better even if Corsair was 6.0...

I Like The F2G1 ... very good CAS... Amazing on Air Simulation But i Think before i get the plane than F2G1 was Like clearly Better than F4-UB and until Now fells NO ! Maybe Only At 1000M!
Everyone saying the Laggs are good now, but I strictly remember them being utter shite. They had no engine power at all and were always just worse yaks
It wasn't the best 3.7. It wasn't even close to the best with the Ki-44-II at 3.7. The Ki-44-II climbs way better (over 5m/s better), maneuvers way better in both turn and roll and is barely any slower.

Elevator compression onset got changed from about 340mph IAS to about 400mph IAS. Aileron compression got a slight nerf though.
That was hot
Ah yes altitude in my tank
Same way you have fuel in your tank
Used to be my favourite when i was still very new to the game, but i always hated the compression, would be fun to play now.
6:48 Nice.
yeah that stall was simply disgusting.
trailer moment
Defyn prop gameplay... My long awaited kino is here......
They went from way too long of a timer to way too short. So many great games ended too soon these days.
Didn't mind this one too much as it was just a bomber but still a sour way to end a fun game
I’m starting to see more of there just being teams of almost straight bombers/strike and they just suicide ground pound for a couple of minutes until they die while 1 person just stays at their airfield. It’s annoying because there’s no way to beat it and you just lose on tickets
@@DEFYN the timer is so horrendous, making it easier to end a match by hitting ground targets was the only change they really needed to make so you can just focus ground if enemies are camping/running. also shortening the time was overkill.
What the hell,t his plane was already pretty good, time to play it again then
shvaks are so goated, easily my favorite 20mms
Which doesn't make a lot of sense really - hispanos had higher velocity rounds and more explosive per round, but don't seem to perform nearly as well as the shvaks in-game.
@ hispanos feel very inconsistent to me. One minute they’re great, the next they’re awful.
O dat is een mooi vliegtuig ik heb zojuist en psvr2 gekocht voor Aces of Thunder een nieuw Gayin vr spel zou ongelofelijk moeten zijn komt uit in 2025
You're fantastic
edit: At 1:03 ish you accidentally say "Having a little bit of altitude in your *tank*..." instead of aircraft, but no big deal obviously.
Tank as in something to store something in
0:30 that’s why don’t fly Russian, I don’t pull out 😂 #FockeWulfGang
Imo La-5FN deserves 4.0 with the new FM
So happy that I researched and bought La-5FN before I-185 (yes, I just opened III rank vehicles)
Rank 3-4 is where the fun is
Thr La11 was my favorite Chinese plane to grind with and I totally skipped the LA series planes in the Russian tree because I didn't know how to use them. As China I didn't have much choice on playing it lol 😆
pretty surprised with this. there are some more unplayable planes, but anyway nice i can cosplay zero on my la-7
What the heck is an "LA-5 Green" ??? I never heard of that.
green fn
@@cabbage9440 what is the "green" referring to? What does "green" mean?
@@paladinfx3083 just look up green on google it really won't make much more sense than it does right now
green fn
@@KGM4024 Are you saying Green just means the FN model?
I don't play nor intend to ever play the Russian tree, but the La-5, La-7 and especially Yaks feel ridiculously OP when fighting against (and that was generally my experience from playing Hungarian Yak-9). Compared to Italian planes on the similar BRs they are in general superior in every aspect. I know they are supposed to get weaker above 4-5km, but that's not where the fights are in the current meta. And even then fighting Yak-9 in Bf-109 is very challenging. I feel like BRs 5.0-6.0 (maybe more) require serious decompression in general, but Russian fighters ought to get a hight BR.
The La-5s could stand to go up a step with this buff. Select Yaks are under BRed too. Specifically the vanilla Yak-3s, that should be 4.7 and maybe 5.0, and the 3U and 3VK, both of which need to go to 6.3. The Yak-1B and 9 could arguably go up a step too. Beyond that the rest seem fine to me. So long as you know the weaknesses and can exploit those weaknesses they aren't too difficult to handle.
The Hungarian Yak-9 isn't OP. It just happens to be a jack of all trades that has a performance strength it can leverage against anything it faces. This is true for Yaks in general when they aren't under BRed. The issue is that there are so many players that are bad that anything that handles well can dominate because of turn meta. The Yaks happen to be the fastest planes that also turn well, sans the Typhoon, meaning that if you know what you are doing they are great do anything planes. As for compared to Italian fighters? Because Italian fighters are over BRed for the most part. None of the 205 family is better than 4.3. Same can be said of the TT G.55s. The Re.2005 is a worse Mk.IX Spit (the 4.3 Mk.IX) that sits up above 5.0 because player base.
@@rainsilent I could not have said it better myself. I agree with you 100%. Thanks for a thoughtful reply.
"having altitude in a tank" 1:03
Same way you put fuel in your tank
Does this buff apply to the La-11 as well?
Ford mustang of the skies
My poor german 20mm getting massacred
Can you play the Sugamaru next?
he's good!
Could you do one on the early ussr jets? About to reach that threshold so it would be super useful to figure out what to grind
Yak-15 for lulz
MiG-9 into MiG-15 into MiG-15 bis.
Don't bother with the rest. Unlike American Rank 5 they are all their own kind of whacky and only the MiGs hold their ground.
@@DzinkyDzink The hell? Su-9 is a literally better Me 262, being a good all-arounder, the La-200 has cracked speed and climb for its BR and the La-15 is literally one of the best 8.0 jet, having great acceleration, amazing agility and well-placed guns with a good amount of ammunition. Just because you didn't bother to play them, don't say lies.
They buff flight performance of USSR prop planes instead of jets? Talking about missing the mark.
Lagg3 is beyond broken now
Not really. Still worse than 3.0 Yaks as the Yaks still turn and climb better. LaGG is faster and is now, with this elevator buff, better in a dive.
La-200 please 😊
We got buffed La-5 before etc etc
Just flew this bird out after seeing this. 6 kills. Yak 3e and Vb whatever on the af. STILL can’t even get within shooting distance, diving STRAIGHT down without getting taken out by AAA. Gaijin, WHEN WILL YOU FIX/remove! Love the vids btw.
A Russian vehicle.. getting a buff? … in War Thunder? .. surely not 😅
My favourite WW2 plane is now a lot better, sick
Why do you randomly press the tab button?
Can you do the Attacker at 7.0 pls
Can you plz make a bf109 guide?🙏
Defyn i get the F2G1($40) last nigth play some games and think The F4-Ub Corsair at 5.7 is better 😢😢😢😢
Plus i use WRTGI Overlay to see Engine HP Trust etc and at midle Speed they have the same Trust! What smells like a Wrong!
F4u4b and f2g are my favorite planes in the game .
The wep on the f2g will last the whole game , its limited on the f4u4b so late game the f2g is still a monster and the 4b is pretty good but not a monster
@@ScribesTV Well i think on Air Sim F2G1 is amazing! But fells like Corsair are Litle better even if Corsair was 6.0... F2G1 losse alot of F4 Agility and turn rate and the Engine fells like realy faster until lime 3500km maximum , after thath Corsair are ""Superior on Everything """! I Like The F2G1 ... very good CAS... Amazing on Air Simulation But i Think before i get the plane than F2G1 was Like clearly Better than F4-UB and until Now fells NO ! Maybe Only At 1000M!
@ramonzaions7522 can you link me the overlay ? Where do I get it ?
@@ScribesTV of Course my Friend... but i have thath at soo many time than i dont remember anymore... let me see here and i send the link for You!
Are we just not going to talk about the green fn comment 😂😂
So yaks and la’s now.
J-7D when
Ye but do it have amraams?????
NOICE
+
Everyone saying the Laggs are good now, but I strictly remember them being utter shite. They had no engine power at all and were always just worse yaks
Late LaGGs are ok. They still climb and turn worse than Yaks but they are faster and are better to dive with.
oh man because the FN definitely needed a buff and wasn't the best 3.7 overall
It wasn't the best 3.7. It wasn't even close to the best with the Ki-44-II at 3.7. The Ki-44-II climbs way better (over 5m/s better), maneuvers way better in both turn and roll and is barely any slower.
My favorite fighter aircraft of WW2 recieved actually good FM change and is featyred by Flying Dutchman himself. Thank you, DEFYN, very cool.

oh damn it I just uninstalled wt, guess I have to reinstall and play props again
