Hey guys, we're visiting the Wildcats today, so much fun these little buggers. Very Enjoyable. Make sure to like the video if you did enjoy it, and do leave me a comment, this really helps me out. If you're not subbed yet, do smash that Subscribe button, there's a lot more comming. Also consider joining me on Locals and Rumble! The Links are in the description. I appreciate the support. Gave a great day folks! o7
If I remember right, the -4 got heavier and a "new" engine didn't produce enough horsepower to compensate for that (more guns and the wing folding mechanism). Pilots didn't like the -4 and wanted to go back to -3 because it was too heavy and had "less firing time" (less rounds per gun) compared to the -3. -4 was slower and climbed slower. Apparently -4 also got more armor and self sealing tanks which also contributed to its overall weight. We can blame the RN pilots for requesting these modifications.
Please make a review of the f8f f-1 bearcat i searched for it for and it was old since 2016

I love the F4F-3, the ammo lasts far longer with only 4x50cals. This plane excels in a downward spiral dogfight.
prefer that as well :)
For the longest time I’ve been waiting for the FM-2 Wildcat, which is basically an F4F-3 with a far better engine, but even with what’s in-game, aside from the engine overheating, I usually have a great time with them
I agree.
that would be a great addition to the game. A shame they're so preoccupied with jets.
One good thing to mention about the wildcat is how it was the only fighter at this point in the war that equipped a 2 stage mechanically driven supercharger for high altitude. (Spitfire, yak, mig, me-109, p-40, hurricane only had one stage).
thanks for that extra bit of information!
I’m loving these entire vehicle line series! Especially the props. Can’t beat classic WWII warbird prop gameplay!
Hell yeah, im of the same opinion! o7
Hello fellow squadmates!
@@ChildrenoftheDamned6 Hello!
@@ChildrenoftheDamned6 hey brother! o7

im so glad someone is finally acknowledging the f4f wildcats. No one ever really gives it the recognition it deserves because they're trying to get to it's bigger brothers, the f6f and f4u. but it's a really solid plane. it can take hits, has some actually pretty good maneuverability with good energy, and 4-6 12.7s/50 cals will tear holes in just about anything at it's battle rating.
true, its br is not in sink with what the better planes have though, thats the problem. Still overlooked though, and very enjoyable.
I mean... The F-4F-4 now has a higher BR than the F4U-1a and the same as the USMC and d version...
I love the wildcat it is a great turn fighter and I usually fly the version with the 4 50 cals
yeah agreed, they're great fun.
It really is one of the most fun plane on the game, the f4f-4 is my preferable choice as it just feels nice to have that extra firepower to finish an enemy plane, though i must say that the low climb rate, lack of wep at high altitude and overheating issues is kinda annoying, but nevertheless a decent plane for it's br
yeah, definitely.
I can’t help but love this thing, especially during the (now rare…) Guadalcanal event.
yes, agreed! o7
Another great video as always. Keep up the great work man!
Thanks brother, will do! o7
Finally a recent wildcat video from a major CC. Thanks a lot!
np Aiden! o7
Just found your channel with this video, I love your videos and they are filled with useful information. Keep it up!
Thanks Kovach! appreciated! o7
Overlooked them because i thought there were better planes at this BR and these were so easy to take down
there are better planes, thats true, but, these are also great fun.
I love the Wildcat.❤😍
It was my first combat aircraft I flew.
I love how it can handle high g maneuvers.
How heavily armored it was and how much damage it could take.
In my 3 years of online aerial combat gaming, I scored 51 kills.
All in the Wildcat.😁😁😁
Your the man Jengar! Thank you for the content and your hard work man I enjoy your video’s always.
Thanks Randy! Appreciated! o7
I largely skipped these when I was researching the US tree ages ago. I focused on the 'army airforce' line, like the P-36 instead. Probably because I wanted the P-38.
Fair enough Paul, you could revisit them ;)
yea the naval aircraft are kinda limited in war thunder
I loved playing the Wildcats, had some of my most memorable games in them.
Fair enough mate! :)
You made me want to fly this bugger again after many years tbh. :)
Fun as always!
Hey good! more ppl should fly them :)
cute little plane :3
Indeed! :)
Really do enjoy the wildcats. Awesome dive performance, just slow to get energy back. Jengar always inspires me to go back and fly planes that I hadn't for awhile xD
same here, and glad to hear :) always great to revisit some of our old loves.
Hey! Great video Thanks!
Np Elioss! o7
When i have my old account in war thunder i had the most epic Air Rb games in the wild cat.
Not anymore jose?
Wildcats are probebly one of my top 10 favorate planes. they are so good in my eyes
Great fun indeed :)
Nice video!
Nice video jenger! wish next video is F4U-1 corseir dude!
It might be ;) it will come at some point for sure.
great video :D
Ty Nazim! o7
Jengar good video 📹 👏
Thanks mate! o7
Gotta love the wildcat! Workhorse of the US navy fighter squadrons early pacific war
Agreed! and they forced the us pilots to be creative with tactics, which troughout the war gave them the advantage against the experienced elite japanese pilots.
@@jengar6258 thatch weave! Combining evasive manoeuvres and teamwork to bring down the zero 👌
@@skysamurai8268 aye! :)
For 2.7 BR i preffer corsair at the same tier in usa tree
Thats fair enough!
I like the F3 for the slower drain on ammo, but usually fly the Corsair instead for the same BR. I'll have to give these another few flights!
yeah, a revisit should be fun, and i also agree, a corsair at the same br is overall better.
Under the right circumstances you can finish a match as an ace (in a day).
Man what a fun little aircraft to fly, surprising the hell out of my opponents with my nimbleness.
roger that friend! o7
I have the white skin for this plane , been mastered it lol 😂 it’s very versatile.
it is indeed! o7
I use the f4f-3 lately but I have a hard time getting the nose on target however I've been using long dives with this plane. According to your video, it's not really a good plane for that, now I know it's my style. Thanms
you're welcome Jay! o7
A fun nickname for them is "Angry Bumblebee"
Nice1, i didnt know that! :)
@@jengar6258 oh it isn't an official one or anything, its just a good name that describe them.
@@alexhurlbut ah yes, agreed :)
Prendergast's Spit? Last vid you did on it was 6 years ago and having a redo of if would be nice!
eventually i will!
@@jengar6258 Ayyy less goooo
@@jengar6258 Any tips on using it though? I've been doing Boom and Zoom tactics but I have problems with defensive flying and everything like that.
I love it so easy to survive with it
F4F-3, bein a little lighter on the wings helps with energy fights :) (easier to recover)
roger that!
@@jengar6258 hey, have you considered revisiting the japanese float planes by chance? physics in WT rn feels more wonky than it was before lol (N1K1 perhaps)
Check out the bf 109 f2 very under rated plane , it’s turn rate is insane if properly flown.
F2 is one of my least favorite 109's, but we'll revisit one day.
@@jengar6258 Since they changed the belts and damage of the explosive shell, it’s actually quite good now.
Historically, once the American pilots worked out the right tactics the Wildcat became the equal of the Zero. The Zero was a fantastic dogfighter but was a terrible energy fighter...once enemy pilots stopped playing into the Japanese hands and adopted boom and zoom and cooperative tactics like the Thatch Weave, the Zero's days were numbered.
By the time the Hellcat was on the scene, most of those pre-war, super-experienced Zero pilots were already dead. The the war went into the Turkey Shoot phase.
I enjoy the f4f-3 cuz it has a large range of functionality like boom and zoom or turn fighting (unless against a zero)
Followed by guns
Love the plane, the fact that it's fast at loosing speed makes it some most planes overshoot when trying to hit you, Guns do decent damage and a well placed burst might kill most things I do prefer the 3 variant since dogfights are quite simple to win on this
its a great plane that can be a lot of fun, agreed! o7
I just started playing this game this is the best plane I have unlocked so far but I keep dying to people who sit over the spawn a billion feet up in the air and drop down on me and I can never climb up to them 😢
you shouldnt climb up to them while you're below them. You play ab from what you say. Advice is to dive away first, then climb further away from them, and come back to attack the spawn attackers when you are above them.
Could you play the P-47 D-25?
Will do when covering Rank III :)
That's why F6F is king in USA WWII era. F4F but better in every way
in reality yes, in WT not. Its underperforming in WT.
@@jengar6258needs to be at 3.0
I prefer the f3f-4 since my aim isn't that great and having two extra guns means more bullets being sent out which in turn means I have a higher chance of hitting. And since the guns are spread out in the wings it creates sort of a shotgun effect.
Btw congrats on 25k subs! I just noticed it went up from 24.9 ;)
Fair enough John, gotta use what works for you :) And TY mate, its the 2nd time i reached it, was at 25.007 the evening i dropped my ukraine is loosing video. I lost aroung 80 subs with that vid. So had to reach 25K again ;)
I have been flying War Thunder since the xbox360. Now playing on PS4. I used to love these planes. Since pS4 the flaps won’t deploy past 199kph. That is on both models. This has never happened with any other planes. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks.
i wouldnt know mate, i play on pc.
This planes are crappy climbers.. but flight joy is nice 😇
joy and happyness indeed :)
i am so bad at this game i have 171 hours on it and i still get destroyed every time
171 hours is novice lvl yet. im at 5.000+ hours
i prefer f4f-3
fair enough!
No. Stock. And at 3.0. They are not fun.
