isnt the 5k bomb on the pe 8 the biggest?
@@boranates1320 he said on a fighter
@@viscera9579 he "corrected" himself with this comment which I replied to.
Never said it had to be in war thunder, so this mean it could be the Tsar bomba which was dropped by a TU-95 (propeller bomber)

I got the achievement "But how" by critically damaging a plane while being on a plane myself, then getting shot down and the aircraft dying while I was playing a tank.
i got the achievement using 8,8mm flak against a plane
Just used a Wirbel or Ostwind and got a low flying plane so it was easy
i got lucky with a tiger1E and a really low and slow IL
I got it with the Soviet dual 25mm AA, I got a feeling it might be bugged since you can get it with literally any vehicle as long as you use the main gun.
But .... how???
The Australian vehicles used to have their own theme song, too. It's called Advance Australia. Unfortunately, when Gaijin lost the rights to Germany's old theme song (Ride of the Valkyries), Advance Australia is now Germany's theme song as well.
It still plays when you preview Aussie vehicles, though 👀
Gaijin removing Ride of the Valkyries was the saddest day in WT history ever. I still remember the patch number of when this atrocity was committed (I think), it was 1.87
They should have Down under as a theme tho
Ride of the Valkyries is public domain, and Gaijin record in game music themselves, so they couldn't have lost rights to it. It's been theorized that they removed it because other recording companies kept claiming revenue of WT hangar footage.
That’s the Australian national anthem, right? Or is it different to Advance Australia Fair?

The sky's star map is 100% accurate, Taurus and the Pleadies are modeled really well. they just need to make it a little more cinematic, add light pollution, so that you can see the milky way in night battles outside of cities.
Man then I would be climbing all day 😂
Flying in bomber in night map would be a relaxing experience, untill it don`t
I would nut if they added the Milky Way
@@phamduykhanh7037 yeah, when the 3 planes below you suddenly emerge on your tail.. with ju-288 and bv 238 it would be a light show

Interesting. Never noticed that about the IL-2 but when I was playing the IL-2 a lot for grinding, I figured out that hitting pilboxes with 100kg bombs works quite well when using cockpit view and the aiming reticle.
Interesting
I'm thinking the numbers are the altitude
Also works the same intersect of one of the lines for missiles
@@reika2836 they are, they are 300, 200, 100 and 50 meters scaling from closest to the sight to the farthest, it’s a level bombing sight that is more useful in IL-2 sturmovik than here, because you need to line up second horizontal with one of those lines in the nose, then after being on 360km/h on one of the altitudes, after your target crosses the nose line you drop the bomb, it’s more easy on the 50 meter line, because you can actually see the target crossing the line, instead of having to set a reference point to the side of the nose and after crossing that dropping the bombs
@@Itz_just_VICTORTY for explaining!
@@S1su Thank you!
As far as I remember, you can die more than once in Air RB by being declared as dead by the game but then landing safely in the airport and being allowed to repair. Most common with clipped wings.
Yes had it twice after wings were shot off and once as my engine burnt out but was gliding to the af
Unless you're me and get a wounded bird all the way home with literally only engine thrust for pitch and ailerons to turn. Then I just get told "No, fuck you. You don't get to repair."
yep Found out when an A-10 shot me on takeoff
Ouch, would be nice to have a notification if your plane is dead or "dead dead dead" so you can know if it's salvageable or not.
@@prohunter717 Who is this comment directed at?
The mission editor is really fun and I've never faced an issue, probably because of my low tier vehicles lol
it's more suited to prop plane tho, i once used with F104 vs phantom and they just crash lmao
Yeah it's a bit janky, you can feel it has been kinda abandoned by the devs. I may be wrong but I think it used to have more mission options like bombing cities or attacking ships.
@@comtepatatas6941 you have to open and close the mission editor completely for more mission options
some planes make the tank crash on selection, but other than that it's a ncie feature
Naval nerd here (who doesn't play WT naval because it's bad). I don't think a torpedo can run shallow enough to physically hit a floatplane directly enough to trigger the contact detonator, but it's possible a torpedo with a (working) magnetic detonator could explode when passing under a metal one. The question is if the aircraft has enough of a magnetic signature to trigger said detonator, which is especially finicky because designers of magnetic detonators initially didn't take into account how Earth's magnetic field varies so the sensitivity could range from not exploding at all to exploding randomly depending on location.
They can, it all matters on settings, low high or in-between.
Although it'd more scrape the plane than anything else.
And then we have the nightmarish problem of aircraft being made out of aluminum, not steel with it's magnetic signature, so....
Plausible, in Mythbusters parlance

Arcade BRs are funky because A. Arcade is a weird place with odd energy retention and boosted turn rates.
And B. Some light bombers and attackers have bloated BR’s because they can reload insane bomb-loads in air every 30 seconds or so.
Ki-84 hei sees supersonic jets in Arcade :D
I like using the Hurricane IIb/Trop and Mk.IV in Arcade for the power of bullying with 12 7.62mm MGs, and also using the 40mm vickers cannons.
Eh, still better than RB.

The Swedish HKP 2 TECHNICALLY has 2 floats so is supposedly, able to land on water, its hanger preview also displays the floating animation, which arguably makes it a second to the Catalina
The MG in the MG151 stands for Maschinengewehr which makes it a machine gun. MK is either Maschinenkanone or Motorkanone.
By all modern metrics, however, it is a cannon.
@@edwardking9359 the MG 151/15 is a machinegun, comparrable to the russian 14.5mm machingunes. infact its weaker.
@@matthiuskoenig3378 It's a 15mm autocannon, mate. Purpose is more important than power when defining these things.
10:55 - this is now a masterpiece video 😂
I don't think the mission editor is unfinished, it's just outdated. The AI can't really fly modern jets, specially those with afterburners. They just fall like a brick.
I haven't seen it lately, but I remember the fireworks also replaced the airfield AA fire by new years time - at least it did several years ago
i actually had a chance to experience the 90% super discount, and now im way ahead in the italian tech tree with the GE G.55S
Same with the premium T34 57
I got the Centurion Action X with it, great tank.
how long havent you bought a premium or anything in general to get the 90% discount? and have you already bought anything before getting the coupon or do you only get it if you NEVER bought anything?
@@raddoobies I personally only ever bought premium account and nothing else. By the time I got the discount I'd say I didn't have premium for over a year.

"Why don't you depress your gun?"
"I am"
The 75/34 m43 has additional 10 mm cheek armor plates hidden under the front plate. however they are useless because their model is facing the wrong way.
gaijin pls fix :(
Wow it's actually true! That is so stupid. How do you manage to put an armor plate backwards?
@@fanis1414 idk, every other armor plate in the game works on both sides. It’s especially disappointing in this case since it would make angling slightly more effective.
Those additional 10mm could have saved me a couple of times...
0:12 yeah and the Su-11 has drogue chute and take-off booster controls in the cockpit while not having access to any of these since gaijin modeled it from it's early version
Im so happy they didnt implement the booster, because Im already crying when I face them at 7.0 as they are. My only defense is to find them before they have time to climb.
11:13 the moment I found this out I inmidiately started looking for the PAN
9:27 its more complicated. The germans originally called both the 151/15 and 151/20 a flugzeugmaschinengewehr which translates to aircraft machine gun. From what caliber on something is an autocannon is and can still be debated it is generally agreed upon to be 20 mm and upwards. There are a few reasons for that.
1. Guns of this caliber exist but are no one man operations: Examples are the Lahti L-39, the Solothurn S 18-100 and S 18-1000 and the more recent Anzio rifles. They all weigh around 40 to 50 kg and the recoil springs are so heavy that the guns can not be charged by normal means. They are also exerting about the uper limit of recoil a human can handle.
2. The gap: Inbetwen the 15mm 12.7mm and 13.2mm cartridges exist a gap which only widened since the 15mm fell out of use. This has multiple reasons. Any gun with a larger caliber than that is no 1 man operation (in a military setting) anymore. A heavy mashine gun with a larger caliber would have to be disassembled to be carried. An M 2 for example is 28 to 38 kg depending on the version. This means it can reasonably be carried a small distance without the need to disassemble the gun. Though the tripod does have to be carried separately.
3. The end of the gap: the gap exists because rifles with larger caliber are not feasable to be moved by one soldier while mashine guns with with larger caliber would need such a heavy mounting that moving would involve many soldiers, even if the gun could be carried by 1 or 2 men. So we established that guns after theese calibers are stationary or mounted on vehicles. So we need somthing that offsets these drawbacks. This comes in form of the 20mm. At this point the filler and such begins to justify all the other drawbacks.
On the VT1-2, if the engine is disabled, or the engine is off. As long as there is battery power still left, the vehicle can still turn using hull aim. Definitely tricks your opponents, hehehehe.
how does that work? does it use electric engines and the combustion engine is only there to charge the battery like the maus?
@@_invencible_ Wonky game mechanic, or balancing choice. I guess steering is counted as horizontal drive for those tanks.
6:12
Imagine the confusion you could cause at any br by capping a point with a catalina dragon on costal maps
On Order AAA, that sounds pretty useful to me. If you have a VR headset, there's lots of places to look around inside vehicles. Lots of hidden details that you can't see normally.
*That’s a very cool spitfire signed by Phly and squire, Zoltan*

For anyone unaware
Like the bombers of the Italian Prop test flight, the two escorting spitfires on the British Prop test flight also land if you wait long enough.
If every map has a latitude and longitude, could you do a video about the real life location of every map?
On the "Jungle" map when you drive into the bushes on the absolute south it goes into the air map too
I believe that is with every map that has access to a border of the map
LOVE THESE VIDS Keep up the great work!
If you’re in the menu and have an nvidia gpu, you can press alt+f2 to go into freecam mode and see the inside of all thanks, they all have semi modeled interiors
❤
11:53 Another tip:
Short rod penetrators such as on the T-55 have a slightly different icon than long rod penetrators like on all modern MBTs. They even have a different model for the damage Indicator and replay.
I remember watching you edit this over on your Twitch! had a great time. Cheers Mate!
You could totally torpedo a float plane in real life. Just depends on the torpedo and it's settings. If you have a large enough aircraft in the water, and the torpedo is set to glide as high as possible, it could totally explode with a contact fuse warhead.
Actually, the leo451 turret is supposed to be like that! The two 7.7s were added basically as a backup during testing of the aircraft after gunners complained how slow and difficult it was to reload the 20mm Hispano. I personally have never actually been able to use those 7.7s but idk if they're actually functional or not
They work yes, and pretty well

leo451 is massively undertiered, although, you can't do shit but bomb with it. amazingly fast bomber
New zoltan video. Exactly what i needed.
We missed your Knowledges keep it up man.
8:07 I have traded in a headon and then crashed into the other guy's wreck killing his pilot so I got both a kill and an assist on my own kill
I've always wondered why sometimes you get an assist when shooting at destroyed aircraft but other times not. Now I know and I have booked myself a room at the Spandau Prison
Imagine having a 500% booster go down the drain when the game bugs and nobody can spawn.
9:09 I actually found this out with this current warbond shop. Got one of the mid-tier camo boxes for planes, and it gave me a P-51D-30 skin that says that same thing, one that I had never seen before.
11:00 Australia also had unique hangar music when you had their planes selected, but they gave it to Germany after Ride of the Valkyries was removed from the game.
very useful knowledge matt, excellent video as always well done :)
The shell shatter actually does work how gaijin wants it to work. Every Apds round has a critical speed (normally achieved after 800 meters) where it will shatter after penetrating a plate thicker than ~30mm, interestingly, a plate too thick like over 100mm won’t cause the shatter and that’s on purpose as well. The puma has a heavily angled ufp that can cause shatter, it’s composed of 2 5mm rha plates and 5mm rubber in between.
10:19 this is also a thing on Soviet trainers IRL, ie Yak-52 and L-39
soviet
L-39
yikes bro
@@namyx_71 It's a Czech plane and was introduced when the Czech republic was still a soviet satellite state.
So they're technically right
8:18. For some reason, shooting the little wheel things in the tracks will consistently shatter apds. Happened to me countless times while using the Leo 1
9:09 you can still get these camouflages if you buy the boxes of camos from the warbond shop. I just received the Red/White Ki-10 camo earlier this week.
4:45 haha spicy air go BRRRR
When the shell shatters and you die: yes , yes I’ve never seen that before
Not worried about dying
I only had it happen to me once meanwhile it keep happening to my friends
i once got the Conqueror's apds shattered. Can't remember what i was shooting at though
1:50 Thanks for including this, I had fun with it all day
The Kisarazu kamuflage is 'historical' but wasn't official, it was something done by the aircrew for an event, without having the proper approval for it
I don't know otherwise or have any proof but I assume that goes for quite a lot of decals and camos in the past?
@@Spectrum16 there's a forum thread where people try to find historical photos of every decal and most of them are unit markings done by a squad, company, platoon, etc...
6:48 it wasn't impossible. The black camo on both object and sdkfz 221 can still put the decals on except it is behind the black camo layer instead
8:47 now i know why everyone shoot ballons with MG at the start of that map lol
The man is back with amazing video thank you very much
7:24 actually discovered this by accident when I was on my BMP-1 and now I always use it if I run out of smoke nades and want to use my ess for a short period of time
2:05 Fun Fact: Warthunder's predecessor, Birds of Steel, had a better AI flight system, but was replaced by the current WarThunder AI because "it was modern" but as you can see, Birds of Steel was better
The ystervark has a radiator despite having a air-cooled engine.
Maybe for the oil cooling?
@@reedman0780 it has a oil cooler yes, but that's on the side of the block behind the cooling fan not in front of the engine.
@@spotty4710 what about for other stuff? Maybe a motor of some kind that needs cooling or is water cooled?
@@reedman0780 not to my current knowledge, my console had unfortunately died a few days ago soo I can't look to find anything else. But the some light vehicles have turbo sounds despite not having turbos such as the T55E1.
For that mission editor one, AI that use supersonic aircraft are very suicidal however with other aircraft they fly normally, this also applies to custom battle AI
Finally A new video. I was waiting for long thank you for you content :)
11:30 yeah because it doesnt have the hot tracks
5:11 xD LOL ce n'est pas absolument ce qui est écrit x)) Très belle vidéo instructive, merci!
I got the 90% discount on any vehicle like a year ago.
Bought the Harrier Gr.1 when it was new for $6.
I love these videos, then finding them my self. good fun.
I shot at an is4m with a bulldog apds round and got the “shell shattered”. Approximately 5 seconds later the bulldogs ufp also became shattered
6:54 you should do a video about ground assault considering how broken unfair unbalanced gamemode it is
in some degree its even worse than a normal pvp match
3:41 nice voicecrack haha
ps: great video, keep it up!
Excellent work Zoltan. I play the game since 2013 and yeah, of course i am still learning haha.
1:41 : the J-8B also does have that
For the shooting down planes with tank cannons in sim battles, I achieved it with the BMD-4 shooting down a heli, for those of you who need an easier option
Doing it for real makes you feel better. I did it woth a panzer IV F2 and it felt amazing
@@WPope ok but it’s just as satisfying when there’s helicopters spawn camping
@@dingusbingus7463 It is but you don't get the satisfaction of completing the achievemnt the way it was actually meant to be completed.
Good video. Some interesting stuff. New players will love this for sure.
Yes
5:27 I think that little camp is a tribute to The Long Long Holiday
I am lucky enough to have gotten “But how?” legitimately by a lucky shot on a plane with the M18
I did in realistic mode with a BT-7 and didn’t get the badge. They should change it so you can also do it in realistic mode
10:34 wrong, they were not pilots, they were just showgirls and that camo was made up just for airshow and then scrapped because guys in charge got angry. so it's just an easter egg int wt
"The smoke is replaced with fireworks, it's pretty subtle so you may miss it" *has flashbacks of when they almost crashed my game for being "subtle" by covering the sky*
6:08 not quite, because there's also the Walrus, which is found on the HMS York. The walrus also has landing gear.
5:42 can I get a link to that video?
4:35 No it’s not because the torpedoes swim low and would go under the boat. Even if you dropped close it would need ti e to arm. By witch point it will have dived bellow
Question japanese harbor torpedoes?
8:41 Yep, definitely died to one of these before, except the map was Air RB Malta.
Funny note: the SM79s drop the torpedoes in MEDITERRANEAN SEA
4:50
Me who been playing free to play for 3 years and never seen that: 🤡
5:27 anyone think this is a reference?
The triple AAA challenge is probably the MOST useful info I’ve ever gotten out of a video I have 5 of them and didn’t think once of them
The F8 has a deployable fin too, the D.520 as a retractable radio antenna
the AMX-30s 20mm canon can (maybe patched) phase throught the turret ring
Wait why was it in czech 5:00
Finally! I’ve been waiting forever!
10:56 I love how u flipped the plane cuz it’s an Australian vehicle 😂
So the "barber pole" you showed on some of the russian fighters is actually really interesting to see working, my real world L29 Delfin also has this, but it is for the flaps!
YES THANK YOU IVE BEEN WAITIING FOR MONTHS
8:08 I'd sometimes gun dead planes when a teammate swooped in on a guy I was about to kill, and sometimes I'd get an assist doing that even though I hadn't scored any hits on the guy before he died. I started gunning dead planes whenever I could for a few days and got a few assists doing it but I could never figure out how it worked so I just assumed I had like gotten stray hits or from shooting near them while they were alive I got assists idk. This solves the mystery for me so thank you very much
Tip about Harrier -flares and chaffs - (Harrier Gr.1 cockpit is copypaste cockpit from Harrier Gr.7, in inside view in bouth harrier's we see metal wire over our head but in game this exist only in Gr.7 ;) )
about the one with torpedo firing at a seaplane, it might work depending on the type of torpedo and how low and high the seaplane sits on the water
" So you can conveniently perform plane* adios" I laughed so hard with that one, 🤣🤣💀
I can imagine the crew of the tank saying THE SHELL FUCKING SHATTERED as one of the voice lines.
I just tried the test flight mission editor this weekend. It's not _brilliant_ for practicing tactics, but it's better than the standard test flight for getting to know your plane.
I knew about the Chieftain ranging thing because I have one of the .50 caliber bullets that were made for that purpose!
