@@AdamTheEnginerd I still don't understand... I've flown some yaks today and all i face is japan, which is incredibly demotivating. All the enemy planes out-climbed me (I was flying the yak 3p and yak 9p). They have better rip speeds, better MER, better climb, better high altitude performance, better turn. i haven't grind-ed any Japanese plane myself but in a test flight they feel incredibly arcade like. At speeds around 100kmh IAS, they will be ably to flip there nose over the top, meanwhile i cant find any other plane that does that, or a logical explanation to why that works. I can understand that something with a higher wing area that makes a quicker turn will spend less time decelerating because of drag. but wouldn't the force needed to make such banks be a lot greater then when the turn takes more time and therefor less force? take anything said here with a heap of salt, i get incredibly frustrated flying against japan in air rb

@@AdamTheEnginerd I love that plane aswell it just has a ridiculous repair cost

[@silience4095]

Hmmm, 10:50, is that really the optimal climb rate? I'm not sure that maximum SEP would be achieved at minimum drag. Going slower might increase drag, but the reduction in speed can reduce drag power, while thrust power will probably remain constant (can only decrease due to a thrust loss)- But a climb rate below 200 sounds too weird. If that graph is correct, then climb must be 200 or less, because an increase in speed means equal thrust power and necessarily more drag power, The derivative of SEP must be 0 at its peak, but I just showed that above minimum drag, the derivative is always negative. Unless... the prop loses thrust at that low of a speed? And as we go above 200, it gains thrust power? I'm not sure. I believe this is worth looking into. 200 or below sounds way too slow imo.

[@giovannibrandizzi4396]

You should try the bf110 g2 as a fighter. It has really good armament for its br and has decent turn with the use of flaps. The airspawn makes it so that you can outclimb opponents. Its downsides are its MER and top speed

Bruh

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Yeah that's what you'll need when you're slow.

[@nairb-ds1vn]

What should that Spit Mk IV had done instead?

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Continue extending away. At high alt it might have a chance in a dogfight. Safe move is to bait for teammates though.

[@kingghidorah8106]

Fast, powerful, nimble,guns placed "á la russie". It has 1600 freaking hp spaded. Not even a yak 3 has the same power to weight.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Not really fast.

[@kingghidorah8106]

@@AdamTheEnginerd it's very slow though, and if you have slippy aim you run out of ammo

Damn you are a great pilot

Thanks!

1:16 what does "super charger gear 2" give you? Bigger engine energy boost in shorter time?

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

No, supercharger compresses the air to increase its density before it enters the cylinders of the engine to produce more power. The different gears are the RPM of the compressor. Lower RPM is for low altitude, higher RPM is for higher altitude to compensate the drop in air density as you climb. At a certain altitude, you need to switch gears to stay optimal.

@@AdamTheEnginerd aah I understand! Don't tell me you do this manually... do you use only keyboard for playing?

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Yup I use Manual Engine Controls (MEC). I use keyboard and mouse.

[@MiSt3300]

@@AdamTheEnginerd Adam514 this is quite incredible. Maybe one day you can make a video about implementing MEC and how to set up your keyboard?

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

I'll do a video about MEC eventually. There are already tutorials on how to set it up on KZbin.

[@sinani210]

>This is not a video on climbing Regardless well done as always. See? I comment sometimes.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Oh but it is, I showed a drag graph for the Ki43 to show its optimal climb speed. This vid will blow up because you commented.

[@sinani210]

@@AdamTheEnginerd Just like I said before, no "excess power" means no climb rate video! If it does I wan't a shirt or something :P. Ok being serious for a second. They added this plane after I'd already moved well past it in the tree. I was planning to get it years ago but then I heard that the FM got nerfed (which I think it actually did) and so I never ended up going back for it since I don't like slow planes. Seems like it might be worth it though. Thoughts?

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Hahaha you want an "excess power" shirt?

[@SkyBlue-lz2es]

Ki43lll otsu is awesome. The strongest fighter I think. Anyway could you make video of J2M4 kai？

Is that the premium one?

@@SkyBlue-lz2es I love making dumbass players over-shoot me. As soon as I'm on thier 6, thier dead. Those fast firing 12 mm are gonna shred thier planes to bits. I once killed 4 p-38s in one match.

[@WigglyWings]

I hate facing Japanese plans in spitfire and yaks. They have great climb, out turns you and catch you in a dive. At least they are fragile.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Yup Japan is their natural enemy.

Hei , vet du om noen norsk skvadron for fly i War thunder RB? Hilsen fra Fredrikstad (hørte et sted at du var nordmann). Fantastisk film btw.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Thanks!

[@cptoscar]

Jeg vet ikke hvorfor denne kommentaren kom med på dette flyet, egentlig var det ment for p51 30. Jeg fatter ikke hvordan folk får det flyet til å funke . Jeg har vært så sint på det flyet at jeg nesten har grått lol. Har lest meg opp på flyets historie og til og med lest et pr bøker skrevet av flyverne som brukte det for å se om de var enige i min bedømmelse av dette flyvende toalettsete. Jeg finner at spillets versjon stemmer veldig med virkeligheten men likevel regnes det for å være et utrolig fly for sin tid . Jeg har også funnet en del kritikk og antydelser om at flyet nøt og nyter en utrolig markedsføring som hever det til et surrealistisk idolisering hvor det er lett å glemme at flyets egentlige fordel var rekkevidden og noe fart . Min konklusjon er at p51 var et meget lite allsidig og strengt fly som kjempet mot en døende og såret fiende . Pilotene som lykkes med det var uten tvil eliten innen flykunsten .

[@cptoscar]

@@AdamTheEnginerd men så ser jeg hvordan du behandler dette flyet og er suveren med det så må jeg jo tenke at ."..faen , det er jeg som suger i dette spillet , det er ikke noe galt med p51 " fml lol
