War Thunder Bf109G10 9 Kills | Defeating Allies At High BRs

[@brendannolan2508]

Your aim is so impressive. Noticed again that you didn't once use the camera zoom.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Thanks! Yeah there is no inherent accuracy bonus to zooming in. In my opinion, it simply reduces your field of vision and prevents you from seeing what's going on around you. It's a bad habit.

[@brendannolan2508]

I think zooming sometimes encourages you not to lead enough because you're trying to keep the target plane in view. I'll find it hard to give up though!

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Yeah often times the plane will be out of your sight if you're aiming enough while zooming in.

[@WisperMetal]

I realized some days ago how i was zoomin just without real need when i managed to kill a p47 at a 1km distance with just a burst of 20mm....Now that i realized that, most of the times it seems like zooming actually affects my leading instead of helping it. One can aim so much better at 500m or less without actually using it, you end up making the mouse move a smaller distance to put thre reticle where it need to be.

zooming in is great with american 50 cals.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

[@roadkill6737]

My god. This is the best match I’ve ever seen. So good to watch especially since I started trying to master the 109 line. Spading the G2/trop at the moment. Will definitely try to apply some of what I’ve seen here as I’m flying. Again what a superb match!

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Haha thanks mate! Bf109s are among the most difficult aircraft to fly in WT, but it becomes quite satisfying to wreck in them once you've mastered. I have a "Tricks" video essentially dedicated to a very advanced Bf109 maneuver for when you've gotten the hang of 109s.

[@EXIT_FAILURE]

2:25 very good thinking. That encounter demonstrates the biggest flaw - in my experience - of the Fw 190 A family (NC.900 is a carbon-copy of the Fw 190 A-8) : elevator compression at high speeds. That compression coupled with its deteriorated engine performance above 3500m and a very aggressive low angle of attack makes it very hard to pitch back up. That guy was already doing about 450km/h IAS, then he started to accelerate even more by going negative and following Adam. From about 550 to 650km/h IAS it gets very stiff. At those speeds you need anywhere from 1000 to 3000m in order to succesfully recover from an extended -45° dive, that is, with take-off flaps, which will usually only break at 550km/h and above. The NC.900 player had most likely deployed flaps, since he made a very quick recovery, but as a result he bled a lot of energy. Above 650km/h it is nearly impossible to recover from said dive. So my advice is to avoid going negative at such high speeds with those planes.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Thanks! Yeah the NC.900 wasn't going to get me in that maneuver, it has massive compression. I once pancaked into the ground because I was doing 700 at nearly 90° straight down at 2500m and couldn't pull up.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

@Chris Waters Yeah, it was buffed since then.

[@ariansedej4535]

I'd like to see you fly the Ta 152 H-1 It's an excellent aircraft to fly as it turns quite well for a German fighter and gets an air start. Also the mk108 just shreds planes to pieces

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

I can try, but my experience with Tas has not been stellar up till now.

[@maggi98mw]

Adam514 the ta 152 c3 is one of the easiest planes do get a lot of kill with, if you want to try that. Can't really energy fight that well, but it is near impossible to get out of the guns way when a c3 is diving on you

[@ariansedej4535]

Adam514 you basically play it like a focke wulf, with plenty of discipline. I see you have that discipline so I think you won't have problems playing it. The good part is that it's a lot more forgiving. I noticed that the Bf 109s just give up when you're at a critical point of a dogfight, they just start performing terrible. But a this plane is a complete opposite, it gives every bit of performance, which I absolutely love. To prove this plane can be used as a fighter, once won a 2v1 with F8Fs, which I couldn't have done in any of the Fw 190s. The throttle control and right timing on the flaps is crucial though.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

I'll try it. I tried the TaC for a bit and while I have a decent kd with it, it's extremely difficult to carry with it because it's outclassed in performance by Allied fighters in nearly every category.

[@maggi98mw]

Adam514 yeah true, it is not something you want to 1vs1 in, but the cannons prevent a lot of dangerous situations

[@kevinweber2554]

just watching these videos makes me hop right back on after years in my G-2 and dominate using these simple tactics. It's honestly why Germany is such an enjoyable nation to play. You have your framework and instead of using the guns blazing "bloodlust" mentality, a.k.a tunnel vision, you just methodically bleed the energy of your victim and then like a spider, go in for the kill. Such beauty in this fighting style

[@RedRocky54]

I just wanted to say thanks for this video. I'd given up on the G-10 quite some time ago, but this helped me finally get into it and start using it well, and helped my friend start getting into the high-tier 109s too. I really appreciate your excellent, informative content.

[@shaggydog8226]

Hey man, i came back to this video to see how it's done again. Wondering if you've ever played the g14AS. I go back and forth on what's better; the k4 or the g14AS. in the reign of p47s the g14 has the high alt speed and maneuvering needed. 700kmh at 7000m supposedly. And like i said it's lighter than the k4 so it turns well too. I haven't tested at that alt to see which plane is faster but itd be interesting.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

G14AS is probably a better deal for the BR. But K4 is a good counter to P47s because it's faster at low alt and has great acceleration, spiral climbing is great with it against P47s.

[@scruggs6633]

In air RB I mostly get caught in a head to head or an approach from straight below by an enemy (allied team since I German main) plane and get absolutely hosed by 8-12 MGs. On occasions when I do get positional advantage and get some good on-target bursts on enemies, I find my MGs and/or cannons doing mostly superficial damage to enemies. Sometimes get a kill but usually just get hosed by allied planes that are faster, better armed, and out turn me. The planes I hate with a burning passion are Japanese fighters. Their turn radius is so tight the pilot should literally be shot out the bottom of the plane from the G's he's probably pulling.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Haha they go slower which means you pull less Gs, but yeah they routinely reach 10Gs. Long before you get in a position where you are liable to be hosed down, you should have reacted to either change your position and avoid the situation, or bait them up for yourself/your teammates if you have a sufficient energy advantage.

Sure he stalled not long after but he was safe from the NC.900. Had it been anything else it would have likely been a repeat of the 262vsF-84 video with the hope that the hits weren't fatal. The point of that maneuver was to force a reversal of position while draining the opponents energy. It was done very aggressively but safely simply by knowing his and his opponents aircraft. And the tendency of bad decision making by the average player.

dude u taught me a lot... tks so much and keep the good work xD

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

My pleasure mate, thank you!

[@kerosenevapor1430]

Is there some updated table, in which are airplanes parameters? E.g. parameters like : altitude in which are switching turbocharger gear, best alt performance, compression speed...

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Nope, because that takes a ton of work. It also depends on many factors (spaded/not spaded, speed for supercharger gear, fuel, etc).

[@kerosenevapor1430]

Yeah, pure manual measuring would be hell, but that localhost + Python could do half of the job :) If I will have time I could look at it.

[@kerosenevapor1430]

What do you think about app, which could periodically capture actual localhost and put it into Excell? From that nice graphs could be drawn :) It would certainly help. But still you/me/community would need to take measurements. Localhost does not have all parameters, but e.g. for climb will be taken spaded, min fuel, WEP only.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Climb has already been done. I participated in doing sea level top speed (link in description). But the other things you mentioned are sometimes variable or subjective, like best alt performance. I'm planning on doing a maneuvering Energy Retention comparison between props.

[@kerosenevapor1430]

I am actually working on program which could read any values directly from game. But it will be a ton of work yet :/ Gaijin implemented a lot of protections ...

[@THE_IS300_KID]

Can I fly the 109k-4 the same way? I have that but not the G-10 and I am spading through PvE before I go to "waste" 10 free missions

[@mostrosticator]

I'm not sure Adam if you check up on the comments on older video's you produce but if you do by chance see this comment I want to commend you on such wonderful video uploads. I recently got back into War Thunder and you have definitely offered perspective and valuable lessons to be obtained. I just recently spaded the plane you hosted in this video and I do quite well with it but you my friend are very methodical and well thought and would be a great teammate or worthy adversary. Hope to meet you in a match someday...preferably blue 😎 PEACE!!

Ur one of the best pilots I've ever seen tbh, u just earned a sub:) btw why ppl complain about the G-10 better than K-4 is the K-4 really that bad? I love it:)

Thanks mate! Welcome! Its atrocious stock grind, especially back when the 30mm didn't work too well, probably has some link to why some dislike the K4. K4 is probably better than the G10 I'd say.

Probably won't get a reply considering how old the video is, but any advice you might give when fighting 109s in a Hellcat?

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Dive to lure them to high speed, you turn better at high speed so initiate a dogfight if you can. Or set him up for your teammates.

[@MosinMaster]

I seriously need to fly some RB with you!!! I do really well in AB but can't seem to get the map memorization and targeting down in RB. I do well enough, but no more than one or two kills in a game...

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

I fly with subs often! Map memorization isn't very important in air RB, knowing aircraft performance is the main memorization component needed in air RB. Don't zoom in!!

[@MosinMaster]

I see that more and more now! I don't play anywhere near as much as I used to either, which doesn't help. I have all the American and USSR prop fighters and all the German and British aircraft, so I have a basic knowledge of what the enemies are capable of too. I just haven't spent much time in RB with anyone who actually knows what they're doing...lol. At first I was skeptical of your vids because you didn't talk at all, but you are a god when it comes to accuracy in RB!

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Haha thanks! I have 2 voiced videos though!! I played half my matches before I joined a squadron, and then an exchange of info and tactics made me progress pretty quickly and here I am. Flying with others from time to time is certainly useful.

[@MosinMaster]

Learning from others is priceless IMHO. I am trying to teach a couple of my friends how to play in AB, and they never want to listen to the player who has 3yrs + experience (lol...RIP) My War Thunder name is The_Dead_Baren...give me an add, and I will definitely squad up with you BC Air AB is getting pretty stale for me and I need a new challenge.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Some just don't want to listen. Get them to play RB and they'll run to you for advice ;). I'm at my WT contact limit (100 limit), message me on Discord to squad. The link to my squadron's Discord is in the description, and I'm active on it.

[@JohnyPhate]

Why do you use TAS instead of IAS? Or do you look at your "instrument panel" in browser more?

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

It's what I started with. There are pros and cons for both systems. I like TAS because it gives you a better measure of how fast the enemy is going relative to you, and how high you can actually climb up to someone who is higher than you. I also look at the instrument panel on the browser from time to time.

[@j.h.3851]

How do you gauge enemy speed/energy state? And where do you get the information Box with elevator percentage? Great video btw.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Based on my speed and the speed at which their distance ticks away and their angle relative to me, you have everything you need to know their speed. About the information box: 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. Thanks!

[@j.h.3851]

thank you Adam. To slow down during landing you can dip your nose down (not too low or your propeller will hit the ground, however if you are a land based plane and trying to land on a carrier this is the only way) until speed lower to 120-140km/h, depending on your plane's minimal take off speed, and then pitch nose up like you are trying to take off. When you lower ur speed to less than 100km/h that is when you can make a 180 degree turn.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Yeah I do dip my nose usually, but in this match I didn't want to risk it due to battle damage. I use the tail wheel only when I reach 80km/h, over that and it can be dangerous.

[@dogeness]

Adam, why do you use TAS when flying props?

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

It's what I started with. There are pros and cons for both systems. I like TAS because it gives you a better measure of how fast the enemy is going relative to you, and how high you can actually climb up to someone who is higher than you.

[@colinlook5237]

[@yeahuuhh441]

Hey Adam, what's your opinion on gunpods on the bf 109? I just thought I'd ask now that I've gotten a bf109 f4

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

My squad members think it's a mistake to load gunpods on 109s. However, the performance difference isn't that big, so if your aim isn't that good I'd load them. But I don't load them since I don't need them.

[@yeahuuhh441]

Adam514 ok. I use them to have extra firepower and accuracy, so it feels pretty good to use them.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

I think it's beneficial for around 75% of pilots. If you feel it helps you, keep using them.

Do you still prefer G10 over other later 109s like the K4 or G6?

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Not really. K4 when it was 5.3 was the best deal for the BR clearly.

[@Turk3YbAstEr]

@@AdamTheEnginerd yeah, that's kinda the impression I got playing it. G10 seems to have less WEP power than the G6, and with MEC the G6 and K4 can keep WEP up for most of the match. The high altitude performance is only useful benefit of G10 and that's only at altitudes where the Fw-190 D-12 & D-13 are much better off
