Little bit of history. While cobra wasn't really popular plane in US army due to its unstable nature , it was really respected by the soviet pilots. Alexander Pokryshkin had over 46 confirmed kills and majority of th em were in p39
God I love the Cobras. The P-400 is a beast at 2.0, the P-39N gave me my first Ace game, and the P-63A is just insane at 3.3. Give a look at the P-63s, the P-63C is amazing and the P-63A-5 is pretty much a superprop.
@@liamboyle9199Yes, the prop efficiency of the P63 is terrible at low speeds. You will stall out very early, so you want to stay out of slow vertical fights. The P39 is like a helicopter comparatively. That said, the P63 keeps a lot more power at higher altitude than the P39. It still handles incredibly at high speeds, and has great retention. Very strong plane, just not blatantly OP like the P39.
@@leeham6230 P-39 has decent performance and on top of that, it meets way weaker planes that can't even hope to outrun or outdive it I still have nightmares about having to face P-39s in my early saetta
The 37mm is infuriating. I'm not talking about the wild dispersion or the difficulty with aiming. Those issues are seemingly based on reality. No, its the fact that it hits like a 30cal. It's like playing the lottery. Nothing 99% of the time and then 1 out of 4,000 rounds hits like an atomic bomb (like that bomber you hit). The damage model for that gun is idiotic and mystifying, even for Gaijin.
@@leeham6230 Then tell me how P39 of mine managed to oneshot IL2 from long range but then P63 didn't kill FW 190 in CLOSE RANGE WITH 3 DIRECT HITS(it literally tanked them and continued flying). Your arguments?
P-39 in WT is known to be very strong for its BR for years. Its very fast for its BR and everything else is above average too. It can turn with almost anything if youre fast enough. Climb is good. Accelerates good. Doesnt compress that bad. Strong gun. Good energy retention. At low altitude it can perform very well. Only when at high alt does it become outmatched. And even at high altitude it can hold its own if it stays fast.
I gotta say I played the P39 a LOT back in the day (2014-ish) and seeing it now it hits about as hard as I remember, if spottily haha. I think it's hit or miss nature really is a combination of WT admittedly very hardcore take on aircraft hitboxes, weapon penetration (especially on non essential sections, like the back of the fuselage in some planes) making the shells fly through without detonation, and the belts for the cannon just simply not being ideal. Each of those conditions alone would be fine but all three together can make you feel like you're thumping multiple rounds dead on into the enemy aircraft without a scrap of damage to it.
The p39 in the right hands is an absolute beast under 18k feet. The airframe has alot of natural lift when your in simulator battles. So if your a savy pilot you can use that natural lift to turn in tighter than all German fighters. This is a delicate balance though because it's extremely easy to exceed the airframes angle of attack and stall the plane. So get some practice, and you'll thank me later
I remember the Soviet Ace P39 version with the 2 50's and 37 was incredibly good, I assume it still is as well. Losing the 4 30's was never that much of a trade-off for being slightly lighter. I always preferred the P400 with its 20mm though, I'm not good with the shotgun cannons. These planes (P400, P39 and P63) have some of my favourite cockpits though, I love the overall shape.
for those who dont know the performance difference between the p39 and p63, the p39 has an INSANE power generation at low speed, especially at low alt, quite the opposite from the p63 that suffers a lot at low speed cuz it doesnt generate as much power.
Hahaha everybody talks about this dude. Almost all the content creators have a video on it years ago. Everyone knows it’s under tiered and it’s a sealclubbers delight. This and the P 63 at 3.3.
it's funny when people talk about something incredible, something forgotten but suddenly very good when you've been flying in sim battles for 6 years and you know that p39n is just a monster, not only at rank 2 but also at rank 3 and even 4
Overlooked? You mean overpowered. This thing is crazy popular and known to be severely OP. I don't think you know how guns are supposed to work. You get on them, wait until the last possible second, have to flick shot which ends in a miss or maybe just one hit, and then complain that the guns aren't working. I really don't get it.
The P-39 is a good plane that can do a good damage and i played with It some time ago. It would be interresting If you could play with the F4F-3 the .50 cal is really powerful in low tier.
Trust me when I say this WEBE, that plane isnt really spoken about yes, but its absolutely abused in arcade lol. That cannon sniping you at range and snapping a wing off like its make of rice paper is all I get lol.
Can I make a request that you play the British Comet 1 at some point in the future please. I love your vids and there isnt much content on the comet and I would love to see you play it at some point.
Better off with Uni or Stealth for the 7.7's, the tracer best is all show and very minimal go... Also means you can focus your aim with the 50cals or 37mm. And funny you ask Webe, I am actually in Canada which is very far from Australia😂
I once read a fictional ww2 book where a soviet airacobra was chasing a finnish bomber and the soviet pilot crashed since he had used so much ammo that the weight point changed and he lost control.
i got jumped by a p400 in my sea hurricane just yesterday. and i ran a mile barefoot in a decent time for the first time in a while but i burnt my feet and now i got fatty blisters loll
bruh this dude only used cannons on a bomber and said the cannons dont do shit when he went after the bd he got it wit like a 3 second burst of the mgs like my brother the cannons are shooting like 3 bullets and ur shooting every 3 seconds obv ur not gonna do damage when if you js woulda included the mgs he woulda been down bc you wouldve hit an engine faster or wtvr without wasting ammo
I just don't find top tier appealing. There's no enjoyment in locking onto a plane and launching from 10 miles away. There aren't any fun dogfights... 10.3 is about as high as I venture :) I have done a video on the F-104 recently, it'll be on the channel somewhere.
@WeBeStronk yo I love the videos man,I was watching and I noticed at 1:39 on this video me and my friend Fran were in your video my name was Juicey_Kitty1013, his was Fran. BTW I'm still on par but now I have a mouse and keyboard plugged in. So hopefully I can dogfight you sometime
Highly encourage you to try out the P-39 if you get the chance! It's not meta, but it is fun 👍 Join the community discord here: discord.gg/TqrH5FSK5X
I’ve just unlocked the French P-39 and it’s quite a fun aircraft!
Keep up the hard work man! Love ur videos
try the P-36 G now, its at the same br
Haha nice man so entertaining to watch you. Haha
p39 IS meta. its the fastest, or one of the fastest planes in its br on the deck yet still turns well.
Little bit of history. While cobra wasn't really popular plane in US army due to its unstable nature , it was really respected by the soviet pilots. Alexander Pokryshkin had over 46 confirmed kills and majority of th em were in p39
59 confirmed kills to be precise, and perhaps 46 of which are in P-39
Love this😊
The P-63 Kingcobra on Rocky Pillars is a menace. Detonating one plane at a time with the Banana Cannon.
God I love the Cobras. The P-400 is a beast at 2.0, the P-39N gave me my first Ace game, and the P-63A is just insane at 3.3.

P-63 is another plane I haven't played in years!
You say that but however the P39 is superior to the P63 is low speed fights, isnt the P63 notorious for having crap power below a certain speed?

That would be P63 issue. P39 literally deletes everything in it's br. It doesn't care if it's a fighter or a bomber

I once managed to snap a BV-238 in half with a well placed cannon shot from below using this thing
what do you mean. its a well known low tier clubber of a plane dude

Tf do you mean “nobody talks about”, the P-39N is widely known as one of the most undertiered and broken sealclubbing planes out there
it's funny when people talk about something incredible, something forgotten but suddenly very good
when you've been flying in sim battles for 6 years and you know that p39n is just a monster, not only at rank 2 but also at rank 3 and even 4
the 37mm on the p-39N is more like a shotgun most of the time I think that's why allot of ppl sleep on it.
2:32 Ayo?
WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT
@@WeBeStronkglazed
11:37 i think it would be cool to get ai awacs for high tier air rb and ai scout planes for low-tier as objectives that actually affect the battle
2:32 someones gonna take that out of context XD
That’s what I was thinking 😭
i wouldn't say unknown to most but not common to see despite being busted and definitely a beast
finally somebody giving the p-39 some love not my favorite plane but I have gotta say it has a special place in my heart.
That's kind of where I'm at with it as well. It's not the best plane for the BR, but it's charming in it's own way.

I one v four while flying a swordfish and won killing an I16, a BB1, F3F, and a P400. Three kills where with my turret.
nobody talks about? it is known to be a bit op at its tier...but also known to be flown by sealclubbers
Well, the U.S. Airacobras dont use .303's. They use .30-06. The P-39N is an awesome plane
can you do a video on the F4U-A1 in air realistic its very good in its BR
My hemorrhoids flaring
2:32
ayo?
F6f gonna come on you? Relatble
i prefer the p36 personally, the turn time is insane
trying to play on Fw190, but it is just pain
You should try the T18B (57) it’s good, clean, fun in ground and air!
Swedish Tech Tree, right? This Friday I've got a Swedish video but I'll see if I can maybe try something for the T18 as well soon.
Just cos you asked, I'm alright. We bit tired heading into a work day but not too bad. Thanks 😁
me having this on my lineup:
Hows your progress in the swdish tech tree WeBe?
Slowly getting there, just got the Hurricane and J22
@@WeBeStronk hurricane is ok the J-22A is mid and the J-22B is worse in my opinion because it can’t maneuver well
You should play the f-8e crusader this is like day 30 of asking
Once you spend some time learning the 37mm's ballistics, the P-39N is arguably one of the strongest low tier planes in the game.
Haha im in danger 😂
Im good. How you are well. Put a new radiator and charge pipe in my e90 335i n55. Thats about it😅
I know that feeling, need to get some new suspension on my 325 E46!

seal clubbing
P39 is pretty decent for its br
2:30 oh...
*Alo mait!*
honestly, it has alwasy been good in rb and SB, i really dont know what you are talking about
I cant get kills in p 39:/
"overlooked" and the p-39n shouldn't be in the same sentence? It's very under-tiered and kinda well known?
