After not playing war thunder for months, I started watching your videos this week to know what are different aircraft performance (I neither knew it before) and I find them really useful as I'm learning maneuvers and pros so I use them to my advantage. Keep this work up, you are amazing! I hope you can fly the f4u-1c as it is my best US aircraft (I'm close to get jets on Germany) or the f8f-1b, you don't have any vid on it and I've been listening it is really good

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Nice! Glad they are useful to you! With the experience I have in this game I really feel like the pros and cons really reflect the situation of each aircraft at their BR. I have videos on both, but they are old, so I'll add them to my list again! I highly recommend flying the F4U4B, if you like F4U1C and F8F1B, you'll like the F4U4B. I also have like 3 F4U4B videos too ;).

[@Darktotaled]

that mvp thing you said should be awarded to the number 1 in the leaderboard as the more point he has, the more he helped towards the team's victory. and about baiting, warthunder detects when you save someone giving you fighter/bomber/ground rescuer. The rescued could get a baiting bonus if he gets out alive

On the contrary, the one with the most points on a team is often the ground pounder, so it can't work by points.

[@janhemmer1414]

@@AdamTheEnginerd i know. now. well, i learned the hard way

[@Agent-ic1pe]

Wow! Here are a few questions from a relatively inexperienced pilot. tldr: how should I learn MEC, and why does it seem to me that the German planes are bad when they're actually probably not? 1. I want to learn MEC but don't know where to start. What's the important stuff? Prop pitch, radiators, superchargers, mixture, or something else? Which things are actually necessary to learn and where should I start? And will I need to manage all of these things at once, while also fighting? (Also, MEC key bindings would be very useful) 2. As a follow-up, how do you even focus on all this stuff while dogfighting? 3. Do these tricks only work for the 109? iirc prop pitch airbrake works for all props, but what about the other tricks? 4. How can I stop missing easy kills? For example, sometimes I'll be flying out my P-47 as the last remaining player and the entire Russian team is low. I have a huge energy advantage, and patiently BnZ, taking out 3 planes. But I've spent so many failed passes on the first 3 that the other 3 have managed to climb to my alt and can turnfight me for the win. And it's not really my aim that's the problem - it's not great but it's pretty good, and I can snipe and stuff. The problem is that the enemy can simply split S and I cannot follow without losing all my advantages. Things like this make me unable to carry games even if the situation is perfectly in my favor. Advice? 5. Do you prefer German or American planes? (I'm new to the channel as well) In my humble opinion, the P-47's are better than the FW 190's in pretty much every way except for vertical energy retention, but better flaps and spraying can negate this. In fact, I have even won several dogfights against 109 G's in my P-47D-28 by using its far superior flaps, high-speed turn and lack of compression, and low-speed roll - and versus 109's it usually comes down to who starts on the other's six. And the P-51's have great energy retention as well and have better low speed handling than the 47's. Sure the American teams are not that great, but that just gives me more experience in 1v3's...But, I've noticed that you seem to like the German planes more. What are the reasons for this?

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

First of all, welcome! I use MEC in every video and the description contains my average MEC settings for that particular aircraft, so once you learn about MEC you'll see me switching superchargers gears at particular altitudes, opening and closing radiators, etc. It's not random, and understanding MEC is the easiest way to using it correctly. 1. There are KZbin videos on how to set up MEC that do a reasonable job, check them out and set it up. But for real, MEC is certainly a distraction if you are an under average pilot. There are many other things you should be working on before MEC. The most useful part of MEC is controlling the radiators. Opening the radiators allows more cooling, but also creates more drag. When you're running away, closing the radiators can give a significant increase in top speed. Once you activate MEC you can't only use the radiators however, so you need to learn everything else. My MEC key bindings are not for the faint hearted ;), they aren't ergonomic. I recommend you find your own. 2. It's second nature, and I'm in Aerospace Engineering so I love being as efficient as I can with my aircraft, hence MEC. 3. The first trick (prop pitch airbrake) works on essentially every aircraft, but to varying degrees. It works many times better on German aircraft however. The second only Bf109s can do it, because they have an issue where their thrust drops off at low speed instead of increasing like in other fighters. You can use MEC to correct that a bit. 4. P47 don't have very Maneuvering Energy Retention, so after a few passes at low altitude the other Russians will have started to reach your alt, and they'll continue to outclimb you, and it's over. You have to be patient and only go for passes you think will lead to a kill. Always go for the highest enemy. 5. Eh that's a difficult question to answer. At certain tiers I'll have different favorites from each nation. I like all nations relatively equally (except French). I like fast aircraft that pack a punch, but can still dogfight when called to action (Tempest Mk V, F4U4B, Ta152s, etc). Stick around and you'll learn a lot!

[@isaaclee8729]

nice, at least that's a timely reminder not to turn the 109 when pulling up. late 109s only can turn substantially while diving with the enemy.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Not sure I understand what you mean.

[@isaaclee8729]

I means that as long as late 109s turn towards the ground (low yoyo), it can keep up with enemy planes, otherwise losing speeds either by flat turn or spiral climbing or high yoyo is actually detrimental. From 6:00 onwards, pulling up and around (high yoyo) is slower than diving and turning towards your enemy (low yoyo). This can make the difference of a second or 2 for a clear shot.

[@isaaclee8729]

By the way, can you fly out the i-185m82? I need some tips on flying that plane

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

I don't think there's a noticeable difference between 109s and other planes in their upward turns. It's on my list!

[@isaaclee8729]

Thanks. I'd say that 109 do a half upward turn and then rudder to a downward turn helps alot in keeping up with the enemy. Much like a sine curve, high yoyo, and you'll lengthen the time it takes to make a turnaround, while also getting slow on speeds will allow your enemy to close in faster to you; low yoyo and you'll close in faster to your enemy when making a turnaround (which means that there must be a sufficient extending distance of about 3km or more) and energy is actually retained while turning around. A mix of both for a turnaround is just perfect ^.^ Upward turn really matters by ER, like the ta152h as you demonstrated can actually keep up even with a spitfire or p47. Not so much with the 109s even at such medium to low altitudes.

[@shaggydog8226]

Awesome new prop pitch trick! Now i gotta figure out how to bind a key to 70% prop pitch haha.

[@shaggydog8226]

Good to know! Also looking forward to the next non meta allied plane video next week. The American 109 is a fun challenge and true test of pilot skills. As is the American A8. But those might be meta planes. I'm gonna be honest i'm not really sure what "meta" means.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Meta just means something that is often used, usually because it's a combination of good and easy. The US F4 would be considered meta for example, but would be on the losing team.

[@shaggydog8226]

Wait I tried manual prop pitch and I could only hover only at 0% 50% and 100%, how do I set it to 70%?

In your MEC settings for prop pitch, you need to enable step control or something similar. It'll allow you to smoothly choose your prop pitch like I did.

This plane is absolutely f*ed now, f2g spam draws it up to 6.3 every single game (I'm not kidding, I kept track of it, played 32 games, only 1 didn't have a f2g in it). A spaded g-14 can kinda hold it's own against the hordes of p-51hs and f2gs but it's a nightmare in a stock plane. Time to break out the re.2005 again and turn/energy fight the hell out of them.

The less fuel you load the lighter you are, so you accelerate and climb faster and you turn tighter.

C205 was buffed and I don't think that applies anymore. But yeah when more fuel tilts the center of gravity backwards, you are more maneuverable at high speed (less comrpession).

@@AdamTheEnginerd It's that since I started playing I been using 600mm for range on gun with stealth for low gun like 7.9 or 12.7 and cannons air targets or default. So, I feel happy I saw this as an advantage but never knew this is truly the power of knowing just the guns but how to move.

[@DanielRojas-lr7vs]

Noob question: what is manual prop pitch and how do you use it or activate it?

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

You need to set up Manual Engine Controls (MEC), there are tutorials on KZbin. Essentially it lets you take personal control over engine cooling and much more. It's not worth using unless you are already an above average pilot.

I use this trick at almost the same speed (a bit slower) my engine got fucked hard so what i do wrong? or the new patch ruin the game? idk btw this trick can use on the game like IL2 and DCS too but much much more realistic

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Your prop pitch was too high, or you were at higher altitude. The higher the altitude, the less the air density and the easier it is for the engine to overrev on a given power, so you need to reduce prop pitch at higher altitude for a given airspeed.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Thanks, and welcome! J7W is on my list! My MEC settings are not intuitive, but I've been asked to make a video on my controls which I'll do eventually. It's called the "local host". How to access the "local host": You need to be running War Thunder or it won't work! Option 1: on the same computer that is running WT: -Type localhost:8111/ in the address bar and press enter and voila. Option 2 (which also works on the computer that runs WT): -Type Your_IP_Address:8111/ where you replace "Your_IP_Address" by your IP Address (192.168.X.XXX) in the address bar and press enter and voila, you can look at the characteristics on another device while flying.

[@Saturnit3]

I used to like these carpet style clouds(if only they weren't always in %50 of my games), but the game has changed and I only encounter these "cotton" clouds now. Kinda takes out that "listening to the enemy engine sound and trying to find them in the mist" thing out of the game. The new clouds look amazing, but meh, I rarely have a chance to use clouds now. Games are always in clear weather. I didn't noticed how fun games I sometimes had in these muddy clouds until I watched this ancient video.

I much rather less clouds, there have been games with clouds covering 90% of the map, not fun.

Adam, im torn between dedicating my time to the 109s, im further down the tree , just one plane research away from teir 5, or the spitfires, im two plane buys from rank 4, i must say i enjoy turn fighting alot and spitfires seem to ge the upperhand on me 70 percent of the time, although i love the climb and energy of the 109s and i notice the differance between the 2 planes, turn fighting seems so rewarding when u outturn most planes in the game and it seems i can get into more turn fights then BnZ fights , and also 109s seem alot more harder to play, i wanna stick with the 109s but i feel once i get my skills up even more then they are now ill be able to acheive more with the easyier plane to fly (spitfire)

[@cold8371]

the spitfires aren't that good at high tuers as you will get out climbed by russians/ americans/ germans and believe me its not all about turning for example the zero turns as a ufo but still its not better than the 109s and the yaks so my advice is to either play russians or germany / russian jets are the best and russian props will never let you down as i bought a talisman for my yak 9 and whenever i play it i get like 4k rp

Hey Adam, two questions for you, is there a way to set it to go straight to 65% prop pitch instead of having to hold the button to go up to 65%? I have it set for zero for the airbrake trick but can't figure that out. And 2nd, how far down on your to do list is the jet tutorial?

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

You mean you have it set to 100%* for the airbrake trick? As far as I know I don't think there is a way. But, you can change prop pitch while prop pitch is auto to get it ready for 65% when you switch. I don't have a particular order, but next week should be a jet match.

Radiators you can leave them at 20% on late 109s though, why so high? Man you like playing with fire if you always have manual prop pitch! For takeoff 65-70% seems to be optimal. I've done some 3100RPM without killing it.
