I can say that the F-82E is very good as CAS in naval. It's dual 2000lbs bombs, high survivability due to 2 pilots and very strong horsepower make it great for attacking ships. And when you are done, you can use your 6xM3 .50 cals to delete enemy CAS from existence.
Have you tried using it? Cause I have and I did not like it. First of all I was not used to where the bomb was going to land... usually I determine bombs aiming with a plane's cockpit by aligning it to an enemy ship. With F82E, it was pretty difficult as my conventional experience did not apply. Second it does not have an airbreak. Having an air brake does matter as it allows you to maneuver a plane even in the high speed and you will most likely engage attack around altitudes of 2000m to 3500m. Below 2000m, unless you are using terrains as your advantages, you will be easily knocked out by ridiculously accurate AI AA. Hence, I personally like to use BTD, P47, Am1, AD2 and AD4.
i concur. i tried it and was surprised. 2 2k bombs are good enough for the bigger boats, the 6 .50cal are good enough for coastal boats. was surprised at how well the roll rate keeps this thing alive and in 1 piece.
I seem to recall hearing from a friend of mine that the F-82E could equip a Radar Pod, I know the F-82F had one and as you said in the video. Which got me thinking since the Snail likes mixing some stuff sometimes would there be a possibility to get a radar upgrade for this plane. Besides that, I used to love flying this bird, but now days I dont because the repair costs are a bit steep for me
In addition to looking forward to the IAR 316B helicopter, I'd love to see some heavy bombers discussed in these vids. B-17, B-24, G8N1, He 177, Sunderland, Wellington, Tu-2, Yer-2, etc.
It's not exactly a very effective plane in a game but that laser boi is SUPER fun. Deleting Ju 288 Cs, supporting your teammates, taking head-ons, really fun plane overall
@@theleontech1 it's easy enough to counter for a smart player. all it really has is speed and firepower, actually getting your guns on any target that's paying attention is next to impossible thanks to its maneuverability.
@@thefolder69 it would not sport the insane stats that it does if the plane sucked. It s a noob magnet also. So many new players head you on for no reason. Keep in mind 60% of warthunder playerbase are peanuts and this plane smashes peanuts more so than others.
“We need more range” “More fuselages?” “No, range.” “Big gunpod?” “Ah forget it, do your thing.” Shoutout to North American Aviation for making this…unconventional…escort heavy fighter!
I love this plane, probably my favorite of any to use, but its repair cost in RB causes me actual pain. You can get a 3 kill game and still be in debt and this is WITH premium. Its peak "don't die at all costs".
This plane came a long long way from it's original flight model of basically flying with one engine and the weight of 45 minutes of fuel if I remember correctly. It's such a dream to fly compared to the early days.
Unfortunatly the HORRIFIC repair costs of 16331 silver lions makes it VERY unatractive to play this beauty of a plane at all -big THX for that GAIJIN !
If you have a new player just starting the game, tell him to get this asap. he will learn to shoot and learn to aim. i struggled for ages to do shit in air RB until i switched to america from tryhard britain and germany. i've learned to aim there and got so much better at the game. 100/100 i'd reccomend a new player starting with 50 cals and playing planes like these that are noob proof . a-36 also a beast at 3.0
I've never flown it so here's my question - since you play the left pilot what happens if he dies ? Does your view change to the right pilot or does the aircraft instead crash ?
Thats a good question. Bet thecplanes hust counted as dead. Cause it makes no sense when a bomber likeva b-17 has the piolet dies and nobody else in tge plane replaces him.
I do. 6 M3 50 cals is enough firepower to kill anything already because it has the increased firerate, I would rather not have the decreased performance.
You can also take the bombs instead. Good for grinding. Usually not that good for winning, that depends on the map. If you get the better side on Operation Uranus it's worth starting by taking out two bridges before climbing just to ensure there would be enough ticket bleed to win or scare the opposite team into making a mistake. If your team is smart they focus on bombing the other two covering the other CAS that bombs the one closer to the enemy spawn and the rest would climb along with the bombers, usually they aren't though or they don't care about winning. That map is completely unbalanced and i love it. Good for ground pounding. They could also have some use for clearing the patrol boats on the Malta map faster but the guns should be probably enough unless someone gets there faster. I would take the gunpods for bomber hunting only but you can cripple pretty much any plane without them to the point they would most likely either crash, float being useless for the rest of the match or end up as an assist anyway. The ones that it wouldn't are either not useful anyway or meta to the point it barely matters and the angle of approach or long range shots would get it done, like in the BV238-s case-still the pods would be useful for those long range bursts. The extra ammo is good if there's a lot of soft targets on the map, esp. a lot of Light Pillboxes.

I still find it hilarious that several designers, independently of each other, thought
“What’s better than this plane? 2 of them”

The laserbeam of a plane. Wish it had a lower repair cost

Luv the vids! Got my morning started right!
The api-t is good, but the M23 incendiary that comes in the stealth and universal belts is a monster
“We need more range”
“More fuselages?”
“No, range.”
“Big gunpod?”
“Ah forget it, do your thing.”

Instead of gunpod, the hard point is wet so they can get fuel tanks
@@Miles26545 true, but in war thunder the only plane I know has drop tanks is the Milan.

Said it before, I'll say it again; murica suffers
Will forever be one of my favorite planes in the game, it's gun pod is just absolutely absurd
Very, very rarely ever play at 5.0, making the twin mustang in this video the only one I've seen in years

I've heard that this is one of the rare planes that have 2 pilots so if one of the pilots is dead you can still fly it.
8:00 insert “Now there are two of them!” Star Wars meme here
While using the plane I'd imagine that it's very difficult to not go full Rambo mode like you mentioned
It's even worse in the F-4 Phantom

I learning aim in bf-109 i dislike .50cal (i know its good for burn and snipe , i just better in autocanon
shame, the MK108 taught me to aim the hard way.
Thank you Tim!!!!!!
That unfeathered prop on the dead engine gives me anxiety. Gajin pls.
Twin mustang vs 109Z
me and my wingman call it the pod :) its a great fighter if used right
Use the gunpod and set convergence to 200-300 meters. You can completely saturate the air with 50. Cal. Can kill bombers at 1.5 kilometers
Isn't the gun pod m3 brownings?
m2 but gaijin says they have m3 fire rate so IDK
The Brrrrrrt.... Before the A-10
Oh, not seen that Gorge (?) map for many years.. Almost, ALMOST, miss Arcade.. ;)
I've never flown it so here's my question - since you play the left pilot what happens if he dies ? Does your view change to the right pilot or does the aircraft instead crash ?
Thats a good question. Bet thecplanes hust counted as dead. Cause it makes no sense when a bomber likeva b-17 has the piolet dies and nobody else in tge plane replaces him.
You'll always have the left pilot view. Like in bombers, both pilots are capable of flying the aircraft and can fly with one of them unconscious.
Great video. I love them
The F-82E, aka the american freedom 50 cal dispenser
I remember ground pounding with this back when it was only 6k-8k to spawn.....Easy 100k a round
The air AB flightmodel looks so abrupt
It’s also very good at ground attack wagers
i just call it the flying laser beam
Hey can u do a review of f4f late thx
Can you do just 88c6 please
Is this footage arcade or rb?
What? Oh, I forgot this plane gets bombs and rockets.
Legit question: Does anyone play this in Air RB without the gunpod?
I do. 6 M3 50 cals is enough firepower to kill anything already because it has the increased firerate, I would rather not have the decreased performance.

It’s 5.3 but it’s funni
