“Ivan we need stronk jet to counter fascisti.” “But how, we don’t even have a good airframe...” “What if we duct tape He 162 engine to stronk Yak-3, what could go wrong?” “Great idea comrade, let’s have another shot of vodka...”
Realistically speaking, it was pretty bad. A poorly thought out aircraft with an unreliable engine that both scorched the runway and overheated the pilot's ass.
They actually wanted to convert their pilots into the jet era & the idea was a jet aircraft but with minimal changes from a prop for the pilots to familiarize themselves with how a jet works.
In my first months playing WR, I collided with a I-16 in a P-38 (I think) and it took off the left wing up until the engine. The I-16 simply fell to the ground and I had critical wing damage and a LONG flight back to base. That was a stressful landing XDXD Your landing brought back memories
Firewing131 there are ways to defeat radar guided missiles. I play DCS a little and there are quite few technique to dodge radar guided missiles. Cranking is probably one of the most popular technique.
He’s already done a video on it if you go back a little bit. If you ever want him to do a plane always check if he’s already made a video on it bc he has done a good amount of them already
giffツ Air RB is the way to go for grinding. I also recommend playing the Tempest II because it gives you a 110% boost towards the Vampire (check the stats card).
Love the early jet footage. Would love to see some F-84G gameplay. That's the current jet I'm grinding for. Still very new to jets. Just got my first one (A21RB) and I'm loving Jet gamepplay so far.
Found a new bug in the update. It lets you fire all of your missiles at once. First, go into say, the phantom. Select a bomb loadout once you load into a match. Since you can now select the # of bombs that drop, say 4, 6, or 8. I did this with 4. Select that, then go back to a missile loadout. Once you fire, it should shoot all 4 missiles (bombs according to the game) at once. My drop bomb key is the same as my fire missile key (space).
you can land without the gear using the engine as a skid going 400kph and still stop before the end of the runway so long as you put her down slowly enough and you touch the engine nacelle at the very start of the runway... this is not possible on later variant Yak-17 since the nose wheel below the engine pokes out even while fully retracted which also means that it is possibly one of the fastest jet that can roll on one wheel without crashing :D
hey whooptie I appreciate you making the video, it means a lot, here in a couple months when i get money im gonna sub to your patreon because you deserve a lot more than what you have. love ya
thanks for the great content dude, but i have a small question did they nrve the ta152h1 again this patch or you were talking about the last nerfe from months ago?
I think they changed some of the elevator behaviour when flaps are deployed on the FW-190s and Ta-152s. It should make the tail lighter when the flaps are deployed. I don't know how it works out in game, cuz I don't play this game anymore
@@martijn9568 ahh thank you ,but did you test it after that nerf and does it affect it's performance critcaly ,as i was playing with it before that new update and it was a monster even after they nerf it montha ago
@@WhooptieDo i started playing it again in op summer after they nerfed it , it was about the compat and landing flaps ,they made it very weak unlike before and nerfed the roll rate at high speed too ,but it was holding and out energy anything at diff altitudes it was hust my aim that made me switch to the c3 ,i thought they gave the c3 a secret buff the climb rate is insane and the abillity to take shoot at hight speed with extreme angles was very easy , most of battles i can came out with at least 4 kills even with 0 bomber kills,
Pretty sure they've been bad for awhile. There's a large gap between the free to play players who are at lower tier, and they pay to fly jet guys. The result is a dead space in the middle. That's my theory anyways.
@@WhooptieDo Supposedly there's also a "psuedo-MM wall" between 7.3 and 7.7, since mixed jet MM starts at 7.7. Maybe 7.7 gets sucked up by the 8.7 BR blackhole as well.
20 min waiting time I know, people dont want to pay 20000+ SL repair costs, i know for sure if i want to have fun and not to worry about dying and repair costs i pick plane that is cheap to repair, but even that i do less and less since most of that planes are not planes that i have fun flying. Didnt play WT this week yet
The point about the Ho229 being "tanky" despite being made of wood is a good one. I often wonder why the Mosquito accelerates and climbs so badly...despite it being made almost completely out of ply-wood. IRL the Mosquito had a good acceleration + climb rate (comparable to a P38 I believe). Surprised no other RUclipsr has mentioned this before...
Hay Whooptie, I'm on PS4, any tips how to control camera to defensively fly? I pretty much just use the force to look behind. I can do it a little bit but mainly just to see if someone is behind me. Or maybe a link.
23s are actually very good at killing ground targets (soft targets AND light pillboxed with ground targets belt (you need like 10-20 shells to kill a pillbox)). Also for landing with 1 wing I recommend learning how to rip 1 flap so you can have a flap only under the damaged wing :)
As a not really good aircraft player & getting to jets for the first time in this I struggled with it since 90% of my matches were against jets, I really don't recall me fighting props although I believe it happened, playing it stock/unspaded was really rough to the point of ruining a whole day.
I just want to point out (cuz of OCD) that the Yak-15 uses tailwheel not tricycle. But good video, I always found the Yak jets to be so annoying to face because of its good turn.
You should revisit the A-4. They buffed the roll rate to 270 degrees and its a much different plane now. Still bleeds energy, but first couple turns is highly maneuverable and has decent climb and acceleration.
heyy whoop i dont know if u can read this but they Fix the Sea Meteor. and the Meteor. sea meteor is now 7.3 and the meteor is 7.0 and i notice that the sea meteor is not easy to rip off while pulling 8 to 9G
Point to note if your 262 is stock and the yak isn't you won't out run him I has one chase my near stock 262 A1a/U1 he was slightly higher than me but was within 1.5 km I knew I couldn't out turn him from one of yours of defyns vids so I kept the throttles against the stoppers and pointed her straight and level as I could and he very very very slowly caught me up till he got to about 600 meters then started taking shots making me jink around slightly ( I was trying to keep as much speed as I could but I just wasn't stopping his gain)
It’s not the fact that the Hortons or wooden aircraft tank. It’s the facts that cannons usually blow right through and do minimal damage. They did accurately model that.
Long queue times are due to the lack of 24/7 mixed MM we get from 7.7 up. That and 9.0 premium planes eliminating the need to play through this BR! :) But no guys Gaijin cares about queue times, they promise everytime we ask for decompression.
There's those weird battle ratings that have long que times like 6.3 to 7.7 I think it has more to do with the lack of players, not as many people want to fly these clumsy early jets.
It looks like that the average Me-262 pilot as never flown FW-190s or American aircraft, because if you're turn fighting a Yak-15 you deserve to not survive that fight.
“Ivan we need stronk jet to counter fascisti.”

looooooooooooooooooool ;D I just love vodka!!! Happy flying comrade!!!
@Marcus Macena actually the plane was the stalinium version of the yak 3, not wooden one. намного лучше.
262 engine, actually
One of the few planes that succesfully got converted from prop to jet
Along with the Saab J21
Viper to
It was not a succesfull conversion

I actually had Diarrhea this morning myself
cool..
Will there eventually be a video about AIM-7? I have a feeling that these missiles are overhyped.
Meh. Well see
They are until people figure out the meta and start spanking. I feel like side climbing and getting some distance is best
Firewing131 there are ways to defeat radar guided missiles. I play DCS a little and there are quite few technique to dodge radar guided missiles. Cranking is probably one of the most popular technique.
Vampire next? Just got it and it’s my first jet. Love the content tho

have any tips on how to get to jets quickly?

Now we need yak 3p vs yak 15 duel, who will win?
3p in a heartbeat. Tractor prop vs low power jet. Can't compare when it comes to stall fighting.
This Jet is REALLY Good BUT Whooptie is flying it so it's shit now
Lol, I've seen u twice now, i wonder what happened between y'all.
those were some nice tips man! could you make a video about the Super Mystere?
These need to be way longer
Whatcha mean?
@@WhooptieDo I just enjoyed it a lot and wished it was longer.
Ah. Well there will be plenty more coming! Got some new props to play!

Were low tier jet queue times bad before the patch as well, or are tons of people just rushing to get Sparrows?

Yak-15 is my favorite plane. Sad you made a video on it because I liked it being a secretly amazing plane.
Dw I'm sure people won't play it much still....

This is the best review and content iv seen do far
I really enjoy your vids with early jets. Nice music in intro too. Maybe me 262 or meteor next?

I really don't know man. I've never played on console. I do know you can use keyboard and mouse on them, so if you aren't.... You could try that.

Yak17 is a yak15 but in trycicle configuration, he isnt totally wrong just another variant.
@@WhooptieDo Lol no worries, we all have our moments.
@@zer0tw026 if I caved to my own OCD, I'd never release a video lmao
Great video, one of my favorite planes to fly. Does anyone know the song that's played in the intro?
Arado stalemates happen a lot, bombs are "suprise"ingly effective at dealing with light fighters, if you can convince them to chase
this plane has the best energy retention, i aced the first one and i can say if my engine was ever damaged i had enough energy to glide back to base
Yak3s in a nutshell. When I fly other planes I genuinely feel like Yak3s are ufos.
Ngl, that was one of the best baits I've seen in a long time for that K4

btw love the videos!
The Yak 15 is amongst my favourite planes as it is blatantly OP af... I can out turnfight Ho229s in that thing...

sea meteor is now 7.3 and the meteor is 7.0

could you fly the Me-262 Schwable?
It doesnt make any sense that 50.cals are so powerful but here we are.
nice
u gonna make a vid on the sea jesus?
probably at some point. No rush
I was that thebeerdude u bullied! Well done man good flying
It’s not the fact that the Hortons or wooden aircraft tank. It’s the facts that cannons usually blow right through and do minimal damage. They did accurately model that.
That would make sense with AP, not HE rounds. HE would blow the crap out of wood in a heart beat.
@@WhooptieDo ya HE should make light work of them
WhooptieDo True that, who knows. I have been experiencing the same with Italian 20m. Either they blow you up outright or spark for days
The title is exactly how I feel about the yak.

But no guys Gaijin cares about queue times, they promise everytime we ask for decompression.
Im the asshat that uses this plane in RB and do air space control. Narwhal 262s hate this thing.
what is the song at the start
did you really don't touch him at 4:20 ?
Whoop, can you list song names in description pretty please?
All the recent songs are by the same artist, Jules Gaia. This one is called Shake Down. I'll try and stuff em in the descriptions from now one.

There's those weird battle ratings that have long que times like 6.3 to 7.7

Loooooong waits indeed
I dare you to fly it against 10.3 jets
how to display IAS and TAS? i just can display one of it
Theres i an option for ias+tas.
I’ve gotten sick of war thunder but still do watch your gameplays over the years I just feel like the games turned for the worse tbh.
It looks like that the average Me-262 pilot as never flown FW-190s or American aircraft, because if you're turn fighting a Yak-15 you deserve to not survive that fight.
Can you make an A4-b video.
I gave up on the russian tech tree because the guns were horrible for me, i like the U.S tech better because you get 50s and more ammo
Canberra makes short work of this
Good thing it doesn't face Canberra....
soviet tecnology fused with gaijined code
fun fact if you can land with no gears and just the engine, make sure you have low enough speed.
A shame you cant do the same with the Yak-17
Still a very risky maneuver, if the wrong wing dips you won't repair.
please do a new f86a5 video its my first jet and i could use your help
I dont think anyone knows how to fly it... I always kill these im me 152s and 262s
Make a mig 9 tutorial / gameplay
What Ta152 nerf is he talking about???
Go fly the 152H. You'll see. She's not the same turny girl she used to be.
@@WhooptieDo With flaps it seems she's still good. Was there a patch note that mentioned it or was it a shadow nerf?
It was noted in patches. She doesn't pull hard with flaps at 650kmh anymore....
why is this so wide
#ultrawide #21by9IsTheBest
ain't no one got a monitor that wide
LG 34" Ultrawide.
They make them even bigger. A friend has the Samsung 50" ridiculous wide. Something like 5000x1080 pixels.
I don’t get why they only give you 60 rounds though it’s just ughh... why.
I thought this jet used to suck lol
BUT ?!??!?!?!?!
Can I self promote my war thunder video
too bad you haft to be a pro to play it i mean only 120 rounds
"but" but nothing its a cancerous 1v1 vehicle
I've said it once, I'll say it a thousand times: I enjoy the sht out of tier 3-5 Russian aircraft but the cannons are just so bad most of the time.
The best part is this game used to have alot of Russian bias, now it's the other way around.
I like my plane to go fast, be nimble, and lightweight. I'm fine with shit guns.
Yak-23 better
Yep, alot more power too.... That's why.
WhooptieDo the 23 is so underrated, it even stomps in more than full up tiers
It's also easy to counter by staying fast.... But who does that anymore 🤷🏽♂️
