- The Douglas AD-2 Skyraider. It wasn't pretty, it wasn't quiet and it guzzled oil like Oliver Reed locked in a brewery overnight, but it was tough, powerful, ridiculously well armed and it got its pilots home safe.

Really well flown by the Skyraider, I'd better start unlocking this beast!
*Looks at required RP cost*
I think I'll just play Hurricanes today.
Yay LOLacanes! I love the cane.
*****, let me tell you: Do NOT fly this plane if you want to keep your money. This palne costs over 20 k to repair every battle!!! It costs as much as the end-of-the-line Jets for the Americans! That is insanly expensive!
Stick with ya Hurricanes
Also i must add that very often it is the case that I am not half way to the ground units and I get jumped by enemy Jets and all I can do is avoiding their attacks until I am out of energy and the rest of my team mostly consists of B 29s - I have a win ratio of 32 % in 128 battles where I died 109 times.
The plane is good, but the BR is absurd. This plane can not break 400 km/h in level flight, where as the Arado with cannons can fly over 800 km/h. And both have same BR!!! ^^
Greetings
Napalm Priest Still, I commend you on your flying ability. Some lovely dodging and weaving there. Top notch Jerry-bashing.
***** thank you. Please notice that I knew how to beat german pilots because being one of them :P
We can talk about it while doing another Nature Documentary? ^^
Napalm Priest 20K per flight? :D
The lesser known Dr. Seuss book: "Horton Hears A Skyraider" ;)
It’s Horten.
Uh Jingles his name says Napalmratte (Napalm rat)
DragonHuman00 "It is my RUclips Name. My ingame name is Napalmratte and I told him in the E-Mail. Napalm Priest is easier to pronounce for him ^^
Greetings"
Reply by "Napalm Priest" on another persons comment
Nice video Jingles! Enjoying the history lesson on an aircraft I didn't really know about!
But you haven't even watched the video yet...
Speedy_99999 shhh don't bring logic into this.
Im enjoying his commentary about aircraft while it lasts.
+Ash007 if you like this commentary that's historical ish then check out a RUclips channel called ace mcweby it does that and in the background there it footage of the plane but not real footage. Footage from War Thunder
'Napalm Priest's team only managed to shoot down 3 aircraft... There were 7 aircraft on the enemy team. 5 of them crashed'
Commissar Jingles today proved that 3+5 = 7
Love Big Brother!
Hey Jingles, i really appreciate you calling it a Spad in the title. So many people call them Sandys even when talking about the Navy variants and to a nerd like me, who's grandfather flew Spads in Vietnam, getting the name right puts a giant smile on my face.
Brilliant video today Jingles, really love these history talk and viewer replay format, Would love to see the History with Jingles series expanded
At long last, one of my favorite prop-planes is available for players in War Thunder. Thanks you jingles for giving us a replay of one of the best ground-attack aircraft of the Cold War/post-WW2 era since the P47 Thunderbolt.
Jingles you should really start making more War Thunder videos, we miss them with your amazing history lessons.
Well shiz... I had WoWS running in the background, and somehow, having the port music running, and listening to Jingles telling the stories of this plane, just made it such an epic telling... That music with the lady singing, fit perfectly to it.
He 126 Jingles? Have you been at the drink again?
Debated Nothing yeah and jingles 7 players on the enemy team, 3 kills on Napalm's team, must mean 5 enemies crashed, jingles do you even math?
I was thinking the same thing...
blaster1 112 I doubt he's knowledgeable about German ww2 Jets ;P
Debated Nothing de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henschel_Hs_126
Definitly a OP jetfighter...
The modern version of this is the A-10 thunderbolt II(warthog). It looks like it's dressed for a drunken fight not a party as some fighter jets are, slow as hell compared to other jets. But boy does it do the job and get you back home. Ask any soldier on the ground which airplane they want to see over their heads. There will be only one answer -- A10
Well the skyraider (spad) is the "grandfather' of the A-10
Aaron Wilhelm No that's the P-47's job. The Skyraider was the "father."
MrImperatorRoma A-4 Skyhawk was the Father.
NewEstonia In fact the later US ground attack planes were based in some respects in terms of design principles on the.....IL-2 Sturmovik. Large payload, single engine, large cannon armament, significant armour over vitals.
Ironic, no?
Steeltrap Yeah but the A-10 was designed with the writings of Hans Eldrich Rudel (one of the most decorated stuka pilots, and holder of the world record for most combat sorties) in mind.
But these concepts as a whole, as well as the design of the IL-2, are basically treated as necessity when it comes to a CAS aircraft.
As to Estonia. Theres a reason that the A-10 is slow. it'll still go balls fast if need be, but is more efficient at lower speeds to make it easier to get guns on target for CAS (and for more loiter time for laser guided missiles and such, cause those take a little bit of time to use)
Took him over 4 years to feature me again - worth the wait! :)

come on jingles ! YOUR battles were so amazing pls bring them back!
"Realistic battle"
*fazes through other plane
Erick Walter In world of warplanes the plane would have probably exploded into red mist
Well, the take off the team would last for like 10 minutes, if everyone had to take off one by one.
Erick Walter when your on the ground (landed) you have no collision model , otherwise at the start of each match there would just a pile of plane at the end of the runway as they crash into each other at takeoff
Lol, I just made a comment about that, then decided to scroll through the other comments, and apparently I'm not the only one. :P
I had already thumbs-upped this video by the end of the battle. Wished I could do it all over again when I learned Napalm Priest (great name!) was doing it with a partially upgraded plane.
The Skyraider was an amazing aircraft, and it's a favorite of mine as well, Jingles. According to one book I read, it was actually possible to take off in the thing with the wings still folded for storage. One of the other fun nicknames for the Skyraider was the "Flying Dump Truck" for the seemingly inexhaustible supply of ground support ordnance it could bring to the battlefield. It was indeed used to cover aircrew rescues, Sandy, as the mission type was nicknamed. That role today is fulfilled by the A-10 Thunderbolt II, which as a slow-flying, tough as nails, loitering airborne munitions dump, is in many ways the same sort of aircraft.
I love how Jingle's driving through another plane as he says he's playing realistic battles. Not an actual complaint, midn you, but the timing is just so good
jingles amde a WT video? MOM GET THE CAMERA
Who is this and what have you done with the real jingles!!
TheSpiritGlider i know right
Train drivers fear the word "SPAD" - short for Signal Passed At Danger (i.e. passing a red light without permission.)
Andison which sometimes results in collision, fellow rail-fan myself
Napalm Priest Splendid flying mate, you really did put the aircraft to its max in the current state that it is at. Hat's off for you. I hope that if we ever meet in battle, we will be on the sane team (which won't be a problem I think as I fly mostly German aircraft).
HE-126 I'm unaware of this aircraft in WT Jingles :P
History lesson with Jingles is always nice.
Opening of the video "realistic battle" as planes drive through eachother. THANKS GAIJIN
Anyone else watching in 2019 after Napalmratte was featured in a WoWs episode?
Yes.
That was excellent flying on Napalmratte's part.
I saw a Spad close up about twenty years ago. Until then I hadn't realized how big that aircraft is. It's huge!
It was being used by the Finns as an air ambulance. They'd cut a door in the fuselage behind the pilot and there was easily enough room for a stretcher, a paramedic or doctor and equipment.
For once I know what Jingles is talking about! I read about the dread and terrible Hell Diver from The Pacific (the book). Man, it's actually nice to feel that you can comprehend Jingle's comparatively vast knowledge of aerial weapon systems.
The skyraider is awesome cause goooooood morning Vietnam!
Mickie del rey And "We Were Soldiers". Question is does WT allow it to pack napalm?
John Codmore I don't know I haven't had a chance to take a good look at the update but I doubt it because napalm primarily is a anti-infantry weapon
John Codmore
Wouldn`t be Napalm Bombs our all wet dreams? ^^
Greetings, Napalmratte :P
Jingles, with all due respect, all SBDs were slated to be completely phased out in the USN after the SB2C-3 Helldivers came into production. Those that remained were either in limited ground attack roles by the Army Air Forces and Marines, or provided to other allied nations.
Jingles is a good mix of commentator and history teacher.
Yay a Jingles vid! I have an exam tomorrow and I really need some sleep but nah... I'll succumb to be temptations just this one time... Just once...
Thx for the war thunder, would love to see more!
9:50 of history from jingles, hell yeah!
My body lies under the ocean,
My body lies under the sea,
My body les under the ocean,
Wrapped up in an SB2C.
Also Brilliant flying and some big shiny balls from Napalm as well!
Amazingly I just finished watching Napalmratte in World of Warships and Jingles mentioned this episode having remembered his name. I was browsing the list of videos and eyed this episode. Was very surprised to find this vid immediantely after watching that WoW vid.
Ever heard about the nuclear delivery version of the Spad (AD-4B)?
In the 1950s, before Polaris, they were the US Navy's strategic nuclear weapons platform, delivering a Mk 9 (I think) nuclear bomb (basically a Fat Man reengineered into a more compact system). They used loft bombing with the aid of a mechanical computer - going in at 500 feet, at a predetermined point from the target they'd go into a 45 degree climb and hit go on the bombing computer. When the counter hit zero, a small explosive charge would separate the bomb from the aircraft (blowing it clear of the prop). The bomb would then follow a ballistic trajectory, going up and forwards and detonating as an airburst on the way down. The aircraft would carry on over into a loop, rotate 180 degrees (so it's right side up) and then dive on a reciprocal course, so in theory it would be far enough from the blast (5 or 6 miles away) to survive when the bomb went off. Apparently when they tested it with dummy bombs it would have worked, but I don't think they ever tested it with a live weapon.
I've wanted to build a model of a loaded AD-4B for ages, but unsurprisingly there isn't a lot of photographic reference material out there, particularly of the bomb itself.
Also, after the US Navy got rid of the Skyraider (which they only did as they decided after the Forrestal fire to go all jet so they wouldn't have to carry AVGAS on carriers, since it's much more flammable than jet fuel), they passed them on to the USAF and South Vietnamese AF. They're mostly the ones who used them for helicopter escort, especially for missions to pick up downed aircrew (which is where their other nickname of 'Sandy' comes from, sandy missions were Search AND rescue).
As you might have guessed, I've been a big fan of the Skyraider for a long time.
I don't like WT. I don't play WT. I really enjoy watching WT .. weird.
Rgmekanic ikr?
Rgmekanic I'm the same with WoT, hate playing it, like watching it. But I love Warthunder
I'm just here for the jingles history lesson, haven't played WT in months.
Rgmekanic I watch it and I play it but I'm going to stop playing it because it makes me have murderous tendencies towards the developers, I am thinking of un-installing it, its become a steaming pile of shit for anyone trying to do the "free" to play thing. It really tested the murderous tendencies when the said no more x2 for the first victory and then put in a shit reward system, and spawn camping and camping in General has gone up 100 fold since them reworked arcade to have more arty strikes and planes, it was much more fun before where you had to actually get out of the spawn and you know FIGHT. I did like that they changed the way you deploy arty strikes but I don't like that you can get 3 at a time. Something as simple as a tow rope no longer works, I did like they reduced the amount of chance that your tank would spawn on a rock or upside down but I don't like that 100% of their maps have the spawns in the open where you can see the enemies when they appear count to 10 and boom you got a kill I count to 12 since every time I count to ten the grace period seems longer for anyone but me, ones spawn you have to go up a steap hill to get out of the spawn not a problem for a fast tank but slow ones it takes like 2 minutes to go up them by that time the enemy can see you and your dead. Rubber banding is a norm and often rams you into a building killing half your crew or you are behind a building and snap your out in the open and someone shoots and kills you. GRINDING for the next tank in a POS sherman or a hellcat that can't kill at range unless its something like a locust which anything can kill, plane spam everywhere. Logging on once a day is even not worth the 2 minutes it takes to do it and it gets to the point that I'd rather be mauled by a Moose than play warthunder. I just think they should switch from adding new ways to rob people and fix the games mountain of flaws, I watch Jingles because he amuses me and I like to see these people from youtube in a match on my team since most of the people I play against seem to be they are more chicken than a chicken.
Rgmekanic You are not alone. I played 3 hours of WT and gave up on it...
History lessons with jingles
WOO! GO NAPALM PRIEST! I missed Warthunder videos like this being uploaded. Epic gameplay AND History lessons. Hope you get more replays Jingles.
This video makes me want to scream "Broken Arrow"
"Today we have a realistic battle for you..."
Erm Jingles... the planes on the runway are... driving through each other... Realistic, I think not :L
It's like that for the purpose of takeoff. If they took off one by one it'd take forever
jim volkert I do realise that. It just made me laugh when the word realistic was applied to that particular section of video :D
Grant Welsh true
Grant Welsh Just asking, but what do you think would happen if the collision model was not deactivated when the planes are on the ground? Think long and hard before you hold *this* against the realism aspect. :P
Grant Welsh like the words "precision" & "accuracy" as 6 rockets miss a pillbox :)
Mighty jingles you make awesome videos. And also love to hear about history facts about the aircraft you talk about. Keep up the good work. You're #1 fan.
Got to see two Skyraiders at Oshkosh in 2016. Big plane.
Jingles, the Planes of Fame museum in Chino, CA has a flying example of a Skyraider.
Also, you did a Jingles by referring to the Volksjager as the He-126 instead of the He-162
Awesome vid Jingles! I really like the Skyraider, planning on getting one in WT.
Hoping for a Douglas TBD Devastator too someday.
Jingles! My grandfather flew Skyraiders for the Navy in the Vietnam war! He loved flying them more than the A-4 squadron he changed too, but he loved flying both aircraft. I unlocked the Skyraider myself, but Im crap so all I can do is complain about the high BR :P
love these history pieces you do on the Aircraft ..... !
This was a pretty great game, but I think what I love most of all is the guy's name. Seriously, Napalm[priest], that's a pretty epic name.
duvagr007 thx dude :D
Napalm Priest Sure thing man.
I swear I come to half of your videos for the history lessons.
The Skyraider's prop tips are, due to angular velocity, travelling at supersonic speed, even when idling. It is insanely noisy.
Jingles how about the history videos you were talking about in Mingles with Jingles a couple of months earlier? Are you still thinking of doing them? I sure would be very interested.
"Realistic Battle"
*At that moment, several planes clipped through each other*
((I know why they do, cuz duh it'd be a hassle to take off, but still it's amusing XD))
Outstanding flying and balls from Napalm Priest!
A birthday video, why, thank you jingles!
"...with dive-bomber precision and accuracy," says Jingles just as the pilot misses a pillbox with eight rockets. :)
I really wanna see the F3D Skyknight in War thunder now, seems fitting to have that aircraft in the game alongside the Skyraider.
Reminds me very much of what the A-10 warthog will be doing in the future
the more popular nickname than SPAAD was "Sandy." The Sandy also was used for combat cargo transport.
" guzzled oil like Oliver Reed locked in a brewery overnight ". That would be a strange kind of brewery, he guzzled many drinks but, I think even he drew the line at ' oil '.
I knew he didn't have it fully upgraded, as those cannons were spraying bullets everywhere.
The Horton pilot heard as he went down in flames "You been had by Sandy Spad luv!!" Ah the AD5 / A-1E fat face. The original reason for the phrase "Like a boss!" The flying dump truck is still one of the greatest aircraft ever flown. There wasn't a thing in the inventory it couldn't carry including FAE and nukes. I recommend the book The A-1 Skyraider in Vietnam by Wayne Mutza to anyone wanting to know more about it. Excellent book
Weird to see that years ago Napalm was in a Jingles video...
the He 126 rly jingles rly
a match like this is very rare indeed
This was my first war thunder vid and I like it make more please
On the subject of the Skyraider's weapons capabilities The Mighty Jingles take a look at this: www.midwaysailor.com/midwayva25bomb/va25specbomb-010b.jpg
looking for it all day
FINALY
keep it up jingles ;)
because you called it a spad i keep thinking of the ww1 biplane of the same name....wonderful.........
Green Berets in Vietnam absolutely cherished the support this plane brought
"We have a realistic battle"
he says as two planes phase through each other! :P
after a major test, JINGLES TIME!!!!!
one of the great planes of all time.
Ahh the Skyraider. My only hope for stemming the IS-3 horde when I dare venture out in my T32.
The Skyraider had the best nicknames; Able Dog, Spad, Sandy, Hobo, Firefly, Zorro, The Big Gun, Q-Bird, Old Faithful, Guppy, Flying Dumptruck, Crazy Water Buffalo. It's just the coolest flying machine ever. I mean fuck, one of them from VA-25 even dropped a toilet because fuck you that's why and also to celebrate the 6 millionth pound of ordnance dropped during the Vietnam war.
Enjoyed the history lesson!
hey jingles ive followed you for a while and i used to look forward to and absolutely LOVE your war thunder videos. I used to love it when you played arcade and got like major kill streaks. and i know war thunder arcade has gotten worse over time and you dont enjoy it anymore but simulator and realistic battles tend to drag on and get boring. just every one and a while can you put up a video of you in a tank kicking ass in arcade like old times? thanks jingles, love you and your videos.
I love this plane so much
"WarRammer", one of the reasons this game get into my nerves so often.
You know what I miss Jingles? Update previews. When was the last time you did a preview on a WoT update?
This is in Blazing Angels and it is really fast and maneuverable.
This is a fun plane for RB GF. Others are more effective/easier, but this one is fun.
The pinnacle of piston-engined aircraft.
You are a pro or something because usually AD-2s always are shot down first.
17:44-17:46 is probably what happened to those Mig 17s that were shot down by the Skyraider in Vietnam. Over shooting into an easy postion. lol
Hey Jingles, Have you seen the game Heroes in the Sky (released 3 March 2015 on Steam)? I don't know why, but it looks remarkably like the World of War Planes effort. I wonder if there was a bit of cross pollination? Or did they just buy the engine?
Jingles knows his shit.
Great battle, well commentated
HE 126 jingles? Think you need to put some annotations up
And still, after all that spectacularly good performance, he recieved only 4123RP(??) FU Gaijin *dingdingdingdingding*!!
Jingles.... "There's a Horten and an He 126 on the enemy team" Yes there is a horten, but also an Arado, and no He 126, a He 162 ;) (FYI yes, I knew there was a Ho alive, but seemed like he was only referring to two aircrafts)
Ha jesse pinkman ! flying all the time with him. great pilot.
Lovely, a WT vid!
You may, or may not know. But the world of tanks test server is up. and it looks like they screwed around with the IS-3 again....Oooohhhh jingles.....looks like you're gonna have to make a video.
I'd like to see a mission with a Sky Rider goes up against ships. Hopefully they will put the 2,000 lb AP bombs in the game.
Those things could Hood a Yamato
00:21
/calls it realistic battle/
/flies through a jet/
They really need to do something about that, it irks me.
paul nathan do you even know how much chaos it would cause if you had collisions on the runway? the trolls would love it and it would cause so many accidents its not even funny
TheLittleConqueror I know that, but I suppose there's gotta be some way to do it. Even if not, it still irks me.
I do get what you mean its just a case of the only real way to fix that would be for collisions on the ground to be turned on and that in my opinion would cause far more problems than it would solve
TheLittleConqueror Definitely. Maybe they should start all the faster planes in the front of the pack, so even though you could theoretically no-clip other planes, you wouldn't be able to catch the ones in front of you, and the ones behind can't catch you. That way you would stop trolls and griefers, but the game would still look real-er.
paul nathan *Starts the yak-15 6km off the back of the runway*
at 15 seconds into the video he says I'm in a realistic battle meanwhile riding through the plane in front of him
The Ground is an MVP.
I wish my history teacher was jingles
Napalm Priest I salute you very impressive,call sign TheFerryMan Thumbs up Jingles always informative
Nice vid. I love the history lessons I get from you :)
Also, 3010hp? That's a hell of a lot. The most powerful aircraft I've flown only has 2x180hp.
KeppyKep
I wish the XP-72 was put into production in that case... :(
It was basically a P-47 with a 3500HP engine. :D
Flew very well too according to tests and looks sexy.
