[@maxstonecro1]

My favorite is the P-47D-22-RE. A monster at it's battle rating, if there's altitude thought...

Wish you would have continued to rank 3 premium planes to finish it off.

When are you going to release a rank 4 video. I'm at rank 4 right now and have no clue where to go so it would be alot of help

[@wolftooth6678]

SB2C is one of my favorite "fighters" hands down.

Aye Wolf, same here, they are great fun!

Just got an ace in air sim with the 3.7 sbc.. no gunpods either. I'm trying to unlock all the modifications and it was super fun. Though slow as a donkey lol

[@Jan191]

I highly recommend the F6F-5N for Sim. The radar is not only good, but it has IFF and tracking!

[@jengar6258]

Fair enough! i can imagine that is usefull in sb.

[@northerngannet3740]

In sim the F6F5 N is very fun because the radar has lock and iff capability. It is a stable gun platform and visibility is good. Would recommend for any sim pilots out there, don't skip this plane!

[@jengar6258]

okay, i can imagine the radar has more uses in sim then in the other modes, good point! o7

[@magicfluteb]

In the biography "Indestructible" by John R. Bruning, "Pappy" Gunn, through his engineering brilliance, helped change the course of the war in the Philippines beginning with the Battle of the Bismarck Sea. He's the guy who reconfigured the B-25s to carry all those nose guns and turned them into ship killers. As usual, the "accepted wisdom" group met him with fierce resistance, but he persisted. " ... The decks splintered, gun positions simply disintegrated. The men manning them didn't just die: the velocity and mass of the .50-calibre bullets pulverized them, blew limbs off, and left in their wake such carnage that nobody who bore witness to it ever forgot its trauma." Get the book ... not too many know about this. BTY, Jengar, you're the one responsible, through your reviews, for reigniting my interest in War Thunder. Whenever I get frustrated with the game and my interest goes flat, your reviews seem to rekindle the spark.

[@jengar6258]

Sounds like an interesting book mate, i might just look into it! and glad to hear it, i'll keep them comming!

[@rags417]

I still don't know why Gaijin left out the B-17B and C models - it was used at the start of the war in the Pacific throughout 1942 until they were all destroyed.

[@jengar6258]

there's still plenty of prop versions and models they can introduce. They havnt done that because they're focusing on jets, i guess those make more money.

[@kylemcfadden4298]

Commenting for algorithm purposes, keep the good content coming, I love to see more war thunder content and the new patches to the economy are making me come back to the game.

[@jengar6258]

yeah, they look good them changes!

[@dmoi714]

Love the vid. I’m currently working through these and absolutely struggling. Trying to boom and zoom but it honestly feels like every enemy player is you and I get destroyed lol. I’m on a streak of bad luck with the P-47-22-RE ending every match with 100 or less RP. I’m sideclimbing, I’m choosing targets somewhat wisely, I’m just still getting trashed lol. Appreciate the video, I’m going to get back at it and find the groove

Awesome! I just started a few weeks ago, these have been by far the best videos for progressing through the trees. Keep them coming!

[@davidmayes2948]

Hey Jengar! You should try something I’ve read about in a book before and tried myself in the P-47s, When trying to make a ground attack doctrine two ideas were floating around for the 47s dive bombing/ strafing or flying in a formation with a heavy bomber and dropping bombs when the bomber said too… I did this with my buddy in a B-17 and I managed to kill a base in level flight from 20 thousand feet using this method in my 47, then I preformed escort duties the rest of the game defending him from enemy fighters

[@jengar6258]

sounds like a fun idea ;)

One oft the all tome best video lines available. Wad out of WT and vids and how they are presented helped a lot . Bte is there a vid about settings,aiming, etc?

[@jimjamjoeyjoejoe]

Tried the F4U-4, this thing is garbage, outpaced, out-climbed, out-turned, by every single plane I face and it burns up by itself and has to have throttle reduced to 90% to avoid engine damage. I don't get why you like this one.

The airacobras, Hawks, and lightnings are the hidden gems.

[@jengar6258]

there's loads of awesome planes in the us tree.

[@jimjamjoeyjoejoe]

P-51C is a great Jack of all trades, with a lean towards Boom'n'Zooming. You will absolutely out-turn a lot of dedicated Boom'n'zoomers, and easily out-run turn fighters. For me it's like an America Yak-9.

[@Hecker9974]

I love outrunning everyone on that plane

[@A-Warthog-cc1wm]

Stopped using because the guns were so bad. Hit half my shots in it, best I get are crust. Went back to the P-51, and never looked back. Cannons are just superior

[@HippityhoppityGnW]

Rip the PBJ’s. I find them pretty fun, but I understand why you consider them un-competitive. They’re bombers in a strike aircraft’s position, which is like putting a fish in a tree and telling it to survive. However, the 1H is decently good in ground RB.

XP-50 is also a great plane if you want to buy something fun in rank III

[@jengar6258]

yeah, but that's premium, and i dont cover those in the rank reviews, when its an extensive amount. it would make the video an hour longer.

[@1crazyfloridaguy786]

Could you make a video specifically about F6F's and how are they historically inaccurate? Maybe Gaijin will see it and fix their flight model. I hope they do so:)

[@jengar6258]

I have review up on both, i wont be revisiting them soom as im now focused on rank IV and then rank V and VI.

[@FullSweatTryhard]

How is it inaccurate?

[@jjpl1586]

@@FullSweatTryhard It should turn better and have more powerful engine

[@FullSweatTryhard]

@@jjpl1586 Nope, the engine performance is accurate. The thing is a Tank, and it weighs a ton. It turns good at medium and high speeds, because of it large wings. Once it gets slow it turns into a brick as it should.

[@jengar6258]

@@FullSweatTryhard the performance doesnt match ingame, neither does the maneuverability, not even at high speed. pilots mention it could turn with spitfires and give zero's a hard time. its not even close to its real maneuverability.

Why don’t you talk about the ammo belts some of the 50 cals get? access to m20APIs is a not insignificant difference in firepower. This is purely anecdotal but since switching to tracer belts on all the planes that get them I no longer find my guns underwhelming. even the bearcat with its measly 4 guns. Could just be a placebo.

There's only so much info you can puit in a 3.5 minute clip. There's way more detail in the linked plane reviews, including info on the belts. you can find the links in the description.
