Been listening to your music for several years and I'm still crossing paths with you in other channels I've been watching for years also. God dammit Ken, living in my head rent-free.

Ah yes the Swordfish, definitive proof that you can have a lifetime of obscurity completely overshadowed by one event where you got lucky and ride it for 80 years. Weren't the German gunners overcompensating for the closing rate because the swordfish had such a godawfully slow flight speed?
It also didn't help that Bismark's AA Gun Direction Equipment was shit and because the Swordfish was wood and canvas, all the actually dangerous shells just went straight through doing sweet FA.
The Swordfish were also flying so close to the surface of the water that the Bismarck's AA guns couldn't physically depress low enough to shoot at them.
Noone has ever claimed the Swordfish was a marvel of engineering. It just turned out by circumstance to be adequate for the tasks it carried out against Bismarck and the Italians at Taranto. The crippling of Bismarck by Swordfish was a prelude to airpower being the future of naval warfare. It was a consequence of stupidity and arrogance leading to it being used as a commerce raider and giving away its position by radio message, not a near-impossible stroke of luck. Prince of Wales had already contributed significantly to its destruction by hitting it's forecastle fuel tanks and reducing its speed. Yet Bismarck is held up as an outstanding ship when it's only major achievement was sinking a ship 20 years younger, of a lighter class, by events of sheer fluke, once. People are such fanboys that there is a geniune type of idiot that will squeal about how it was scuttled and not sunk after being pursued, crippled, and rendered little more than a floating pile of scrap. Go figure.
Clearly the War Thunder Devs made the Swordfish weaker than irl because they're salty that the Swordfish played an important role in turning the Bismarck into the biggest Submarine on the planet.
Chief could you explain to me how the fuck you ended up in War Thunder? Dont get me wrong It's the lesser of two evils compared to WoT and I enjoy it myself but... This is the last thing I expected lmao Quality Swordfish content tho 8/10

They checked tab, saw a swordfish pilot with kills, and feared for their lives.
You were so damn lucky that Stuka's gunner was unconscious or killed.
He got the stuka gunner
@@yordobelps still pretty lucky
This is very much the British way, use something so crap with such confidence in it that it instils fear in those who fight you.
It scared the Bf 109 so much that it had to get one of his buddies to swoop in Noodle at the same time

How exactly does the matchmaking in this game makes you fight Bf 109s in a biplane?
The really early 109s are slow as hell and only armed with 7mm machine guns.
The swordfish is what happens when you convince yourself that a World War One ass biplane NOT EVEN MADE OF METAL is good enough for World War Two
based swordfish enjoyer
Believe it or not. I have footage of me in a swordfish RKO-ing an I-16 and surviving to win the match.
Hi Sliphantom, can you play Felony 11-79 or Runabout?
All in a days work mates
