A trebuchet can use a counter weight to launch a 40mm projectile 400m

Also I’m making a trebuchet at school rn
If these cannons have any defense, it's that they're just a bit smaller than a trebuchet
@@uglybastard6614 midevil school shooting
Though it's a good joke, it's also brings up an interesting point. I don't think many people can reasonably understand the design philosophy behind "potato launchers" like the German MK 108 and the Japanese Hu-301. Even though they're not the same kind of gun, their use in air to air combat against other combat aircraft, especially contemporary fighters, is equally questionable. The only thing I could possibly say is that technically, the Hu-301 was a novel design (lightweight, caseless ammunition), but what the heck the Germans were thinking with the MK 108 is utterly beyond me. Oh well, hindsight is so 1945.
What bugs me about airfield AA is that it doesnt actually has to hit you, it just generates an explosion in your plane by chance.
Your plane just combust. And I hate top teir AA the missiles are bordline useless to anyone who knows how to fight them
well, real life ww2 AAA used time fused shells anyway
until the Americans changed the game by introducing VT proximity shells.
Thats how flak works in real life
The way it works ingame is not how it should at all.
The shells aren't modelled they just hitscan explode somewhere around your plane.
The shells you see flying around are just a visual thing, which is why they can just shoot through the ground.
Fighting the M247s with proximity shells is easier than 1940 flak emplacements, prop AAA is completely bullshit.
Or the ai m163 in prop games
The BR change was completely justified, and they are still very much viable. First game I had in the Ki-44-II hei since the BR change was a full uptier, and I got 5 kills easily. Very good planes and I highly recommend them.
I thought the same at first, until i tried the 13mm cannons, which hits harder even comparrd to the old critpanos.
The BR changes needed a bit more like the Ju288 that really needs to be sent up a a lil bit in BR cause playing 5.7 constantly get or go against them and it actually is a pretty powerful bomber with its speed and them rear gunners eat up enemy. But the French F.222.2 from 1.7 to 2.3 LUL that thing is huge and only has 3 tiny guns covering it. But that China Ki-45 hei/tei dropped in BR ..LUL idk why but ill take it. But hell i would of waited to grind the Israel Spitfire Mk IXc now that it went from 5.7 to a 4.3 cause that will be strong for 4.3 damn i was constantly fighting ju 288 and the spit cant catch up to that thing and just gets blasted away from the rear gunners. But the changes from what they did are some questionable ones and they missed quit a few that really need to go up in BR.
3.7 for the KI 44 hei is still more than manageble. If you play Japan long enough you'll realize that most of the planes and tanks are overtiered pretty badly anyway, the KI 44 is in its best spot from 3.0 to 4.0. Very satisfying to play with imo.
I recently researched and started playing the Chinese Ki-44 II Hei at 3.3. After 20 or so games, my K/D in it is 11 to 1. With it you're just never out of options. Things you can't outturn, you can stall out, and things you can't catch you can easily outclimb. The guns are really good too, they feel like Swedish 13.2's. I just don't understand why are aren't more people playing it since it's so damn good.
I was talking with a buddy recently about how to fix AA camping/ AA power. Eventually what we came up with was create an "Activity Zone" around the air fields. Inside that zone is where AA open up and no points can be earned if you fight in it. If you were the last plane alive and inside that zone basically it counted you as landed and would bleed tickets.
sick idea !!!!
what if both planes took same damage
Well they did rather recently add the "no active player" thing which acted pretty similarly, although that was more for space climbers than AA camping.
Well imagine this, you are last player on your team and enemy is patrolling around AF like vultures. They have speed and alt advantage. Will u go and start fight from 500m alt with no speed or circle around and gain at least 1000m and speed to have a chance. I think that af aaa is not broken its supposed to give u breathing time to gain some space for the fight. People will always abuse any given advantage. I would agree with time limit in af zone to bleed tickets if last player camp there in air or on the ground
No matter what you do, AA on airfields can be abused in any manner. Whether by the enemy or by you. There’s a fundamental problem with Air RB that must be fixed.
I loved flying the Ki-44 for its flight performance but always struggled to get kills with the 12.7mm. I remember dogfighting 3 planes at once and kept shooting them all but just couldn't do enough damage until eventually I got killed. That was before the buff.
Wasn't a buff so much as it was a correction to accuracy...Before the 12.7's and 13.2's of the Nippon Empire and the 12.7's of Rome had HEF and HEI-F rounds that had no 'xplody stuff in them, they were just ball ammunition...Adding the 'xplody stuff made these rounds accurate to RL...Only took gaijin 15 months after the bug report was filed to actually correct the ammo...
@@silversurfer427 They were amazingly deadly in real life. ONE 12.7 mm hit on a P-40 blew away half his canopy... Real life damage. The Ho-5 in wings were even deadlier, and both were twice faster without prop.
Totally agree with your assessment on AA/abusers of it. Makes it way to easy to wait out tickets and camp, which IMO is the worst way to lose in RB
Well then you should get some ground while you wait
your commentary while flying planes and explaining what you're doing along with your guides have really helped me with air, Thanks 👍
I played the Ki-44-II otsu (40mm) when that was 2.3 after the gun buff and it was stupidly good. It has an almost all around better excess power curve than the Bf-109G-6 when both use WEP on the deck. Won't be supprised if it moves up again.
When they first released the otsu I believe it had the same BR and the same flight model as a regular .50 cal 44. It was glorious in arcade disintegrating biplanes at will.
This along with the CW-21 were woefully under tiered. Since you're doing vids on evil planes, would love to see a video on the Re.2005 now that its had its repair cost lowered and BR raised.
imao
I really hate sueden biass😂😂😂😂
The one with the 4 50cal was just insane at 2.7
Could you play the 3.3 ki-61? It’s really overlooked and very powerful after the Japanese .50 cal buff.
it sucks that air RB has such a strict meta that if your plane isn't insanely good at turn rate or raw energy generation and retention, you're practically useless. top speed is useless if your plane is a brick because you have to run away constantly and abuse AA to even stand a chance to rebuild that energy.
That seems accurate to irl?
@@Dunkopf plane performance in RL is much similar than WT would want you to believe.
I literally just "rediscovered" this plane a few days ago, and holy shit is it fun. Not sure what gaijin was thinking when they put it at 2.3. It has 50% more engine power than the A6M2.
And of course they instantly uptier it to 2.7. Justified, but unfortunate timing.
because its armament used to be utterly useless.
@@RFi731 To be fair, even with the useless armament it could still be lots of fun. Nothing like tickling people to death.
@@martijn9568 yep, and i was still able to make the 50 cals stretch out to 5 or more kills before they buffed them.
Spitfires have always underwhelmed me
I adore this plane, one of the best energy fighters in the game
Ki44 II was a beast. It was low because guns were doodoo, but now after the massive buff these 12.7s hit like Swedish in close distance. I got a 7 kill game on the first Ki43 most of them were one tapping Yak2 wings off and the yak2 isn't precisely a fragile aircraft
I'm overjoyed that you made a review for the Funny 40 shotgun.
Love the talk through of your thoughts
ı remember taking out 4 fires in one game with ki 44. It has some nippon magic
Then in another game ı got hit twice by friendly middle map flak and burned to death. That was the payback ı guess...
Picked this thing up literally yesterday, haven't touched the japanese. Looked through your channel for a video on it and found nothing. Needles to say, timing is impeccable as always, as is the content! Hope to see you in the field sometime.
This thing is a beast even before the 50 cal buff. An underrated plane, but now, even better
I remember being a noob and buying the 40mm one because I thought they were like the 30mm on the J2M5 (Prem)
I was mistaken, but getting a snipe with them is still funny as all heck now I am better at the game
Do you think you could make the J2M4 work? I've been getting my butt beat and I think its the plane, but I am curious to see if I'm just bad.
Nah, it's really shit. I can show you some lucky games, but in the end it's the enemy messing up not the plane being flown well
I love my Ki-44-II Otsu. 40mms are very funny, also a great plane overall. My best purchase tied with my I-153P I got during the same sale.
BR change is totally justified. I got back to back ace games with this thing in January. The updates to the 12.7mm ammo was incredible. And the plane is just so damn fun to play. I do wish we had the option to swap the 40mm for more 12.7mm like irl, though.
The 40mm one will always remain one of my favourite troll vehicles lel
I can tell
love your flying
KI44 give it 2 20mm and can easily be 4.7, it's climbs so fucking good, good turnrate, good roll, doesn't dive as good as a P47 but it still holds. I don't even know why it was 2.7 the Chinese one, I got 196 with 6 deaths lmao
I think I read that one of the variants really did have 20mm.
@@Beowulf_DW and 30's too. Could carry 4 20's actually.
I think defyn is very stressed just by the quality of the video and the way he talks it's very clear and I don't think anyone can blame him
Have you ever considered doing a video on the "seafire fr 47" sins it has the griffon engine with the 150 octane at 5.3?
while it is a bit heaver that a spit it would be cool to see it in one of your videos
The Seafire Mk XVII is better, below 4000 meters atleast.
godammit defyn so this is why it went up
The mid AA is definitely a problem. One time I was in a dogfight and suddenly my plane caught fire and eventually burned out a few seconds later. The killer was an AAA that didn't even appear on my minimap.
hey defyn. you mentioned how you enjoy fighting spitfires in planes with high engine power. if you run out of vid ideas, i would love to see a guide to fighting spitfires; i dont think ive ever died to a model of plane more than the spitfire series
Spitfires, when your plane is manoeuverable, but doesn't suck at speed.
@@martijn9568yeah spit ix is very annoying it outspeeds my 109f4 at start game alt
2:22 The ancient art of barrelstuffing taught to the world by grandmaster Donnyp314
Hey Defyn! Should we expect a video on La-200 any time soon?
The 50cal buff you are talking about. Is it universal to all 50cals or specifically the japanese ones?
How'd you change your supercharger gear @ the 00:18 time stamp?
I picked it up and tried it and it was mad fun!
"... what's the plan..? " "winning"!
Have played both Ki-44 Hei and J2M2 a bit and they are probably the most overpowered planes i've flown, especially the Hei at 2.7, however now at 3.3 I'm not entirely sure as it will face XP-50s now, which I despise.
During my limited amount of games in these planes I've really grown to hate AF AA to the point I think it's actually better to just completely remove it at this BR at least then, it's so easy to abuse and so stupid. I've had a decent portion of my games just waiting for the timer to run out or something to happen while the last enemy plane just circles around his AF, even with no pressure from enemy planes above their AF, they just keep circling it... forever!
Right now I've been enjoying a bit of the P-51 with the 4 hispanos that just moved to 3.3, the guns slap man, really nice. It feels more maneuverable than other Mustangs but that might just be me.
Wait, the cannonstang got moved to 3.3? Holy shit that thing was already good enough.
The cannon mustang is the worst one. Too heavy, bad engine, only turns well at high speed but can’t get to high speed, and climbs badly. Much rather play the p-51c-10
God tier title
gaijin sure does love air RB
mmh yes the tennis ball launcher plane
could you perhaps go over the early 109s? (pre F model)
"What's next, we have to fly on our side of our map" is definitely my strategies when the map is trench warfare with a lot of "machine gun". so its definitely already happening..
The difference between the p-400 and the p-40 is that the p-40 doesn't have a zero on its tail.
Just wondering, what do you think of 4th gen jets coming to WT?
could you revisit the German F-104G? it got up-br'd and it has stock aim-9j's now
nice outro
I hold back on the 40mm until at almost point blank range. Then a quick squeeze of trigger and it's adios. Otherwise, they are pretty much useless as they are more like lobbing grenades than actual cannons. Still a lot of fun when you master the technique.
25 minutes for a match is total dogshit, especially those bigger enduring confrontation maps, which I've been seeing more people not even spawning on those maps. I honestly don't blame them.
this is the premium one correct? Looks like the Yoshida Yoshio camouflage skin on the Ki-44-II otsu Shoki... but that plane can climb for a Japanese plane and the ammo from the 40mm runs out before you even know it ,,,LUL "the first plane at 00:40 " . But at 3:16 the 2nd part that is the 3.3 BR Ki-44-II hei correct ? wish i got down tiered like that :) but guess its nice to see 2 of the same ki-44 premium and then non prem one to bad ya didnt throw in the 2.3 BR Ki-44-I then ya fight all the Japanese Ki-44's in there :)
Not really related to the video, but what are the best italian props? They all seem kinda same to me
"Absolute shit-brick of a plane" 🤣🤣🤣 best quote ever... said with such conviction and emotion.
The Ki-61 is also a very good plane even at 3.3
Sure you're not fast but that goes for every Japanese plane, the Ki-61 climbs very well too and turns quite well, almost yak level in my experience. And 1800 bullets are more than enough especially after the buff
Didn't the Ki 61s recently get modeled with its correct wingspan after it was missing a meter for a couple of years?
Finally can have fun on this thing ( 4x .50 cal one )
Could you please make a video with the bf 109 g10 ? I like it a lot and I know its on the same Br as the K4 but i think its in general a good plane. Sadly know one really did a video on it so it would be really nice if you could a video. love ur content btw, keep up the great work
Would love to see you play the Ta-154 A-1
i wonder if youve messed with the hurricane mk 4 yet...
100% agree with your AAA rant
8:34 The best plan
this thing and the ki-61 are carrying me through china rn. Theyre so strong at energy fighting
If there isn't an Airfield AA moment it isn't a good video
Oh my goodness the p400 is 2.0 now.
When did the 40 mm version get 50 cals? Or do i remember it wrongly having only the 2 40 mm when introduced?
Need to revisit this thing and 'test' it on 'paid actors' ^^
I too actually had a bit of a doubt on this, I'm not truly sure on either memory/possibility but I think the Ki-44 already had those japanese mgs, that's the one memory that I give the most credit between the two.
It was the J2M5 with its own heavy cannons that only has those, though this may just mislead me. It could still be that it was actually changed though, like other WT things, but I recall of the special Ki 44 actually having the mgs as a second option unlike the special J2M.
You probably didnt notice the difference between the 7.7's and 12.7's because they were so bad.
I was basically seal-clubbing HARD in Ki-44-II. It pretty much broke the game around 2.7, outturning Yak-1B and diving with Fw 190 A1, and outclimbing everything :D
At 3.3 it's still excellent.
I just hope one day Gaijin balances J2M2 properly, because it['s basically a better Bf 109 G6, but sits at 4.3 because reasons.
At 4.7 it would still club, actually this plane would work pretty damn good at 5.0 - remember at 5.0 only US has good planes, Fw 190 A8, F8 and British clipped wings spitfire are just simply mediocre.
The 44 is such an odd plane.
And always remember if you run out of ammo become the ammo
Air needs a few things changed. First all head on ramming needs to leave both planes no matter what destroyed. Second the aa at the base should have less range out horizontally and total obliteration if you as an enemy fly too close. Currently the aa reaches so far out at low altitude it can interfere with some maps and can be abused.
about the airfield aa, i have an idea. how about adding another winning condition: Air Superiority. Each map will have air spaces that can be captured(just like in arcade) and drains ticket so that ground pounders can't abuse af camping when they have ticket advantage.
Although i'm a bit pessimistic that gaijin will change the system. but they did reduce the number of points you get from ground pounding, so that's a good thing
meh, i just want to fight, and not complete such arcade objectives, less ways to drain tickets the better and aaa can be borderline deleted as it was absent in past.
7:00, AA is way to overpowered. I got killed by the A.I AAA trucks in the middle of the map in my SBD-3
It's 3.7 now, hell
My favorite low tier clubber
When I saw they were gonna up it to 2.7 I decided to take mine out for a spin. I knew it was pretty good, but wasn't sure if the br change was completely justified. I managed to get 51 player kills in just 2 deaths, which made me realise it is completely cracked.
Which buttons do you have bound for flaps?
V for down F for up
@@DEFYN Thanks
Maybe look at the a2d-1 i've been having a blast using it to bully early jets
In my personal opinion, if this plane had japanese Type 99 cannons (the ones on Ki-43 III) this would be like 4.3 - 4.7 material. I am pretty sure that this thing climbs as good or better than the 109 G6 on the deck, it's also as fast as a Fw-190 A5 or soething like that. Even the high alt performance is not bad until 5-6k m.
or even 6.0, because you know how gaijin rates Japanese planes
@@RFi731 ahh, yea, w have to adjust for that as well. I'm pretty sure they would rate it at the same br as the current one if we told them it should be 4.7. Good point.
Damn.. I should try this plane a second chance. Idk how to use in the first place as it don't have the turn rate of a zero/ki43. Gonna try the Chinese version.
Got about 30kills total straight games and 3 deaths in ki 44 but in II hei now is a 3.3 br and got many uptiered match often. Idk if the first ki 44 is good also.
I have never seen more pilot snipes in one video
New players with zero points of pilot vitality does that. Especially if you are shooting lots of bullets with a fragmentation effect.
@@martijn9568 Indeed
That timer really sucks the joy out of some of the best matches you would probably have. Last 4 guys left, 2v2 and timer runs out :(
Don't even get me started on AAAs in the middle of map, those things are just ridiculously OP. Gaijin devs should really start playing their game, they are so far out of touch with their own game.
i swear they are stronger in low tiers or something
I died to an m163 AI yesterday in my bf109, it was also just a regular map ai
Man i miss when flak clouds where in the game whenever AA is mentioned 😢 also the 50 cals weren't as bad as I thought they'd be though i still need better aim and a gaming device if im to even consider looking at this premium
I still have no idea why ww2 aa has radio fuzes in this game, god damn it
Totally not gonna save up $200 just to watch Defyn suffer a bit
Why’s the P-400 so bad anyways? Shouldn’t it fly like a P-39? 🤔
Where's the Dutch flag you normally put on your planes? :D
Hey Def, take the F-11F out for some exercise :D
These guns just rip wings of enemies, what a zero to hero story
Everytime I see a P400 I say outloud "easy kill" and I've never been proven wrong. Usually it's a race between myself and the ground to snag the kill.
That’s why a good p400 pilot avoids being seen. Or lurks his own airfield. 50/50
i just wish they bring back activity points for air RB .
The Manufacturer's designation of 'Ki-44' is not pronounced 'Kee- Forty-four' but is correctly pronounced as 'Kay-Aye Forty-four' as it is the model and manufacturer designation and NOT a word in and of itself.
I'm happy that this UFO was moved to 3.3 because it's still a UFO
The Ki 44's flight model is probably correct. Since the Ki 44 was well known for its climb performance, because that's what it was designed for.
Regarding its maneuverability it seems reasonable as it was one of the worst turning Japanese fighters Japan had.
Japanese 12.7 stealth is just the ideal choice, no better damage from any other belt.
I call that plane the Kill 44. Bc of the 40 mils.
6:40 Old Hokkaido, though flawed in other ways, got forward bases absolutely right. No base AAA, and the northern forward base was often close to the combat area, which made it a good mix of risk and reward. If it gets its old forward bases again, I'd be happy to see that.
The only thing holding the Ki-44 at low BR is the armament lmao.
not anymore. Japanese 13mm HE shells got buffed hard.
When you talk about the new midfield AA being almost as deadly and random. Like dude, I got hit by a VT-like round at 5.5km altitude in my XP-50. I quit the game for the whole day after that.
This game looks so easy when you play :/ In my case, I dont know what im doing wrong to stop dying fast, or stop losing. I always go in furball and getting shot in the back, or the enemy plane completly outurns me. I would like to see your gameplay, where you explain how the enemy plane might counter you in certain situation
Watch your own replays and see what gets you shot at
watch me go to space at 2.7
Fly the p40f-5 lafayette. For whatever reason it goes 20mph faster than the F-10 while still being at the same BR.
Airfield camp is viable now, which I really hate lol
