The Israeli spitfires are insane, especially the first one. Too bad the tcm 20 is the only thing low enough too use. i also really enjoyed your video on the ezer Weisman, but i dare to say this one might be even better
Eh. I really didn't like the first one. It just made me wish I was in a zero instead. The clipped wing one I kind of liked though, since it actually accelerates
I love spoiler free intros!! You always make my day (well i should say my night, based on the time, but anyways) Keep up the work and never stop laughing into microphones
@ Dude you have no idea. How many times has he identified a tank he can't see just by the engine noise or the canon sound? Or identifying an enemy on the other side of the map behind trees from 2 pixels?? He's no human.
Watching something done well is always a pleasure. I may not like CAS but I can appreciate the skill. It's your game as well there has to be balance, you have to be allowed to have fun as well or what is the point? I'd love you flying aircover above me and hate you on the other team but them's the breaks.
The amount of times that OddBawZ says "Those were bad bombs" and then proceeds to land the bombs right on target and kill the enemy like almost every video that involves a plane with bombs and meanwhile im here sometimes unable to kill anything with an 800kg bomb multiple times in a row Also can you play the P-40F-5 Lafayette please perhaps together with the B1 Ter or something
Bro, that poor t34 at the end. Just as he was getting close enough for an ally to help him, the ally got smacked and he burned to death. What a way to go.
Bringing back the og! Hey I do have another suggestion for a video. The strv 103c- a or 0 would be an interesting video topic. This I am saying because last time you made a video was more than a year ago and back then it seemed "bugged" or at least not working correctly. It would be interesting to see how much it has changed and how it performs now!
Both of the BR 4.3 IAF planes are excellent planes for CAS in ground RB, as you can load them up with good mixed bomb/rocket loadouts. The Spitfire IX featured here, with its 2x 250lb bomb + 16x 8cm rocket loadout And the P-51D-20, with a 2x 500lb bomb + 6x AR (HVARs?) rocket loadout. Both are also still very viable to bring uptiered to your 6.0+ BRs, and indeed will be the only real options until you break into jet CAS with the Ouragan at BR 7.7.
My experience of CAS nowadays is either: 1.Fly within 4km of the battlefield and have an ostwind fire 2 rounds destroying my plane instantly, the guy has 5-7 plane kills with his ostwind already 2.get 2 kills with bombs and 50+"hit"s with 20mm cannons on a tiny zero/fw190/109/F6f and they don't take a single point of critical damage, they hit me with a single .50cal round and my plane is instantly "burned out"even though that shouldn't happen instantly 3.VERY rarely i actually survive and get 7 kills with bombs, 2 assists and 3 planes 90% of the time though it's the first with a blatant cheater on the enemy team in an ostwind or similar instantly sniping our planes out the sky right after we spawn -_- happened 10 games in a row tonight
Hi, Odd! Hope you're well. I was thinking you might have fun making a video about the French Martin 167-A3. It's basically a bomber you can dogfight with in a pinch. It has 4 forward facing 7.5mm Brownings, a 7.7mm Vickers turret, it can carry 16 x 50kg bombs, has a turn time of 21.7 seconds, and all of that at 2.0 BR. It does compress a bit if you're not careful, but it's pretty nimble for a twin engine bomber even at lower speeds. It's also funny catching fighters off guard who don't expect you to start engaging them. Anyway, loved this Spitfire video! Cheers
Tbh most planes with rockets would be great IF Gaijin simply answered wtf the lines on rocket reticle are supposed to mean in terms of distance and dispersion. P.S.: thank God(and a lot of dedicated people) for custom player made reticles that are plane specific😅
@@yoyolast6559 They are not. It's the same size marker for every plane and every rocket. The Tiny Tims for example fall below the the entire crosshair if you shoot at 100m and you'll blow yourself up.
@@OddBawZ Well, yeah, but for your average sized rockets like say HVARs it does range close enough. Obviously it doesn't account for the angle of approach and how far from the center of the aircraft the rocket is launched from but situationally with your average rocket it can be kindda used to range. Obviously I never do it either because it's hard to estimate range in ground RB anyways but that is technically what these lines are supposed to be.
@@yoyolast6559 It does but its completely useless because different rockets have different velocities and it also depends on the angle and speed of the plane
I was very pleasantly surprised by the TCM. Aside from Mr. Gigachadberg showing his dome to everything with an MG, it's super easy to kill planes with and packs enough punch to kill light vehicles and quickly track/barrel heavier stuff it can't pen.
I totally agree with you. All my friends called me mad when i told them im playing 4.3 tanks Israel. The Weizman Spitfire is the second Premium plane i bought in 5 Years of playing WarThunder, just to CAS with it. Nice work, keep it up.
18:48 fuel explosions are lethal because those are inside the fighting compartment without any protective features for the crew, the lower the crews vitality the more damage they will take when unprotected fuel tank is detonated, that's why russian and chinese mbts die so often by fuel explosion
I got my first (and so far only) nuke with this one. I managed to kill just one guy in M-51 and then I spawned in the spit.. got +- 9 ground kills, 5 air kills and few assist.. good one
I am a german main, but the spitfire series are my favorite to fly. If you know how to fly it well you can be a very hard taget to shoot down. The Isreali one is the coolest spitfire imo
reason fuel detonation destroys the vehicles is because of the pressure wave (even though it's not that big) that damages components and the burning fuel that the crew is being drenched in, basically it creates a fireball inside the tank, and lets face it, even if the vehicle would be salvageable after that, the crew wouldn't be.
I feel like the liquid jet of molten metal from the heat warhead if the rocket blows up fuel a bit better then just a explosive that's mostly shrapnel based from aphe
Hey odd, these kinds of videos are the GOAT, you playing these "hidden" vehicles is a really cool video and inspiration what to try for others (spoiler free intro is also amazing)
Me, crying because once again the UK has its vehicles stolen and made better by other nations instead of the snail giving the UK vehicles their historical weapon loads. The only compensation we've had was the 12000lb bomb 💣
Right before watching this I got 3 air to ground kills with my seafire, and 2 air to air kills before the game ended. The whole spitfamily is underrated for ground striking because you can pull up from a dive so fast
I wouldn't even play war thunder if it wasn't so fun doing CAS and fighting planes in GRB. I used to hate dying to planes too, then I started learning how to fly and it ended up making the game 10x more fun for me.
Who isn't afraid of a spitfire? Speaking from personal experience, I am terrified of spitfires and avoid any and all engagements with them. Because for some reason, despite the fact that the BF-109s I fly are usually faster and better armed. The Spitfires still shoot me down like I am made of paper.
Hey Odd, you may want to drive the Turan 2 if you have it. It's a hungarian Pz 4 E, hungarian tanks never get any coverage, and I recommend the HEAT shells only for it. APHE has reserve tier penetration (44mm), and the HE has half the filler of the HEAT for some reason. And for that please fly the F.C. 20 Bis (tech tree). I am sure you will have a blast with that ground pounder plane. The gun is all you need at that BR, you got fiddies, and if you take the anti-ship A.P. 160 bombs, you got the best bombs (barely, but they are the best). It sure is my plane to fly if I want to unwind.
i am malding and coping and seething and grovelling that Israel gets such potent weapons under the wings of its spitfire, while we cant even get a single 1000 pounder for any of ours back in the british tree the Tempest is my go-to, and its bloody good at CAS at that, but man the envy is real
ive done extremely well with the premium spitfire in air RB as a ground pounder, i need to try this out in ground RB move over thunderbolt a new king of cas is here
I was using the firecrest as CAS with the rp-3’s, and I was chasing a bf-109. I tried to hit him with the rocket but ended up missing, it richochet off a pz-IV turret, and the rocket went up into his aircraft
As somone who sucks at it i think the hardest part is getting good enough at the tank stuff to get into a plane reliably enough to actually be able to learn.
I don't know about the hitpoints, it could be done with a chance to cause light, medium, or heavy damage based on impact force (mass x velocity) the rockets have a massive mass in this hypothetical in the form of explosive mass, and also have a much greater velocity than other ordinances (for a second). This would mean the force the rockets apply puts them in a chance bracket to cause heavy damage to whatever they hit. Just a guess though I'm very dumb.
It's probably both. the damage dealt by any projectile probably has a base damage, and then the relative velocity of the projectile and the target adds to that damage
I love the 3.3 Italian lineup, the P40, AB 43, the SPG whose name I never remember, and the Ca. 2002's but I feel like those are tanks (and planes) a lot of people (myself included) have trouble playing and really understanding, even tho they are so much fun. It'd be cool to see some of them featured. There just kinda odd and unique, without being really... special in any specific way
Great time Odd...I've found that the Israeli tree is just the absolute worst for how the vehicles should be performing. The premiums are badly nerfed and the rest of the vehicles have little to no post pen damage for the most part. I'm not sure what they've done to the Merk's but they're about half as resilient as they used to be prior to patching.
I have a theory on those fuel tank kills. when its killed via explosive what if it tuns into a accidental fuel/air bomb inside the tank? aerosolize the fuel into the air in the tank & there's already fire...

Finally, a RUclipsr who recognises the capability of this plane.
Right?! I’ve been doing this for ages!
The Israeli Mark IX does things better as a CAS than it's british counterpart.

Edit: nvm it was oddbawz a year ago with a different Israeli spitfire
As if 95% of the planes aren’t op as is.
@@wasdmatter3478 was gunna say odd made a video with the premium one if I'm not mistaken it was with Spookston no?

My worst fear is activating a booster and having odd or spookston on the enemy team 😂
Played against spook once I’ve never raged so hard
i played against phlydaily once, he died like 3 minutes after the battle started and left lol
The Israeli spitfires are insane, especially the first one. Too bad the tcm 20 is the only thing low enough too use. i also really enjoyed your video on the ezer Weisman, but i dare to say this one might be even better
Honestly even at 6.0 with the M-51 the rockets still shred tanks
Eh. I really didn't like the first one. It just made me wish I was in a zero instead. The clipped wing one I kind of liked though, since it actually accelerates
The worst part is there's so many slapdash early Israeli vehicles that could get tucked in that 4-ish BR could easily get filled.
@@Eonymia i really only meant in close air support, it has the 300 pen rockets at such low BR
Soon I will catch the first Israeli Spitifire (Spitfire Mk IXc) Is he good at aerial departures?

Ok... that rocket attack on the Duck is just showing off now. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
HOLY SHIT I JUST SAW IT😂😂😂😂
At this point gaijjn should ban oddbawz. Man's mere existence is cheating.
@ Dude you have no idea. How many times has he identified a tank he can't see just by the engine noise or the canon sound? Or identifying an enemy on the other side of the map behind trees from 2 pixels??

He calls it a bad bomb if it doesn't bounce off the cupula.
These rockets are insanely accurate. I love my Weizman's in ground RB even at 6.7. It pops the Tigers and Pershings like fireworks, it's great!
Bro, that poor t34 at the end. Just as he was getting close enough for an ally to help him, the ally got smacked and he burned to death. What a way to go.

90% of the time though it's the first with a blatant cheater on the enemy team in an ostwind or similar instantly sniping our planes out the sky right after we spawn -_- happened 10 games in a row tonight
That aerial one-two punch before you popped the KVs engine was beautiful. Perfect snap shot on that second plane.
CAS videos are my favourite videos and I love a Spitfire. I don't even have the game installed but watching this is bliss.
I was wondering when someone would highlight this chad lineup haha, great video Odd!
Man, that intro was awesome. Imagine a whole video where it was just new map after new map in that style.
It actually doesn’t hurt taking the spitty up to a higher BR. Just means it’s even cheaper to spawn.
This was So much fun to watch. Thanks Odd.

@OddBawz May the 4th be with you! We love you Odd, Loved the intro pls keep doing them!
People that can accurately aim Rockets are terrifying.
Always with the quality content 😃👍
Flying with a full fuel tank. what a brave soul
Play the Italian 90/53 M41M. It seems terrible for 3.7, but is goofy and funny, can be sneaky peeking out of a rock with the front hidden.
I have big framed print of the SpitFire by Barrie Clark on my wall. Its my favorite airplane.
Bawz + single fire rockets for cas = therapy

great now i gotta grind that tech tree too

Aa players: “cas takes no skill”
Aa penning takes easily:
Cas having bombs:

The rocket to the duck was so personal 😂

I was using the firecrest as CAS with the rp-3’s, and I was chasing a bf-109. I tried to hit him with the rocket but ended up missing, it richochet off a pz-IV turret, and the rocket went up into his aircraft
Oh I love that plane. Don’t fly it that much as I don’t usually play Israel. But those rockets rock
Would you incorporate some sort of rocket guide into a vid some time? I'm finally trying planes and I'm not sure how to bomb or rocket well 😅
As somone who sucks at it i think the hardest part is getting good enough at the tank stuff to get into a plane reliably enough to actually be able to learn.
These rockets can oneshot pillboxes in air RB if you aim correct mind you.
Might come useful if anyone ever needs to deplete tickets late game
I don't know about the hitpoints, it could be done with a chance to cause light, medium, or heavy damage based on impact force (mass x velocity) the rockets have a massive mass in this hypothetical in the form of explosive mass, and also have a much greater velocity than other ordinances (for a second). This would mean the force the rockets apply puts them in a chance bracket to cause heavy damage to whatever they hit. Just a guess though I'm very dumb.
It's probably both. the damage dealt by any projectile probably has a base damage, and then the relative velocity of the projectile and the target adds to that damage
INB4 a year from now "this used to be so amazing, but now the rockets are inaccurate"
I’d say the AD-4 or A-7 has still got it. This is definitely a better option when there is enemy opposition in the air though.
Now imagine if Odd flew this plane WITHOUT full fuel. Lol
You had a full tank of fuel on that whole time!!
That rocket duck pouch was foul lol
It's so shiny; it must be from the future.
hella cool intro. love your vids man!!
Your rocket skills are simply STUPID good. Like, I'm literally taking notes from you.

I been thinking about trying to unlock the AA FOR Israel to just try this lol I’ve noticed it this week on how good those missiles are
Holy moly, great intro, man.
Great time Odd...I've found that the Israeli tree is just the absolute worst for how the vehicles should be performing. The premiums are badly nerfed and the rest of the vehicles have little to no post pen damage for the most part. I'm not sure what they've done to the Merk's but they're about half as resilient as they used to be prior to patching.
I love israel another top tier video. Here a great day oddbawz
I hate CAS with a passion, but it's genuinely inspiring and entertaining to wreck you with this insane thing lol
Random question Odd. Did you ever play any Armored Core? The new one coming out looks sick I can't wait!
I have a theory on those fuel tank kills. when its killed via explosive what if it tuns into a accidental fuel/air bomb inside the tank? aerosolize the fuel into the air in the tank & there's already fire...
OH so this was the damn plane I thought not to worry about 😐 just saw a "Spitfire" text and thought nah, it's anti air
