B-17 BOMBING RAID OF BERLIN in War Thunder!

[@natedaniels3655]

This is what War Thunder SHOULD be... instead of just a pointless, repetitive, murderfest.

[@Jesse_wellard]

I guess whatever

[@Luke.M-n5e]

Indeed

[@dragonburst8489]

It’s what we all thought war thunder would be like

[@CrmsnGull]

Simulator mode is this

[@brandonj5847]

⁠@@CrmsnGull I just started playing this week, is sim still pvp?

[@frankvarela951]

Fun Fact: On Vadact's Second run as a B-17, and his tail was cut off, B-17's were 'Flying Fortress' Because of their durability. As Previously said, a handful of B-17's Could actually survive having their tail cut off!

[@navo8706]

One time a tail survived when the rest of the plane was cut off!

[@SungazerDNB]

It's inaccurate to say they had their tails cut off. Some were cut deep though.

[@noob_dur_man]

That was very cool man

[@VictorJohansson-dp8je]

Wow

[@Crabonoe]

@@SungazerDNBit is true in one case though

[@saintsadd6667]

This just popped up in my recommended I haven't lost a vadact video in probably 8 years the amount of nostalgia that came flooding in

[@liamsherm]

Fun fact, I was in this video it was really fun. He’s a nice dude but I feel like the best way to have fun is to always be cooperative because there were a lot of people who weren’t doing what he was saying and it was just annoying at times, anyway thanks valdact for the great time. Hope to see you in customs again

How do we participate?

[@D.MENTASM]

Teamwork is the key to success in Battle

[@CrispyMuffin2]

this turned out a lot cooler than i originally expected :O

[@AtomicBomb840]

Yoooo

[@Zarastro54]

You should do a proper night bombing mission with British bombers and radar-equipped German interceptors.

[@jasperhunter8386]

War Thunder vids are the best! So realistic

For me its GTA

[@McNastyxx95]

I feel like they made the distinction between real vs AI. Being AI = Silver / metal bare skin . Real = Army Olive drab . Also, the flight maneuver and just movement in general . Or they see the HUD / ID tags above yins but if not then I believe that’s how they were a lot more successful after that first initial wave. They knew to pick out the olive green ones and to try and distract you so after they dive they can come up behind while others continue to dive . Awesome video!

[@onzaie]

The Germans did actually kamikaze but it was only in a special squadron called "Sonderkommando Elbe." Kamikaze was when the Japanese rammed boats, and Sonderkommando Elbe was when the Germans rammed bombers. So you would call it Sonderkommando instead of kamikaze. Edit: Sonderkommando Elbe only actually flew one mission where most of their planes were taken down and they only brought down a few bombers, so it was a failed mission.

[@loyalpiper]

Although one managed to take 2 down at once with a single plane.

[@onzaie]

@@loyalpiper true

[@FedorFox]

you wouldn't call it "sonderkommando" because that literally means "special command" (as in, it makes no sense)

[@onzaie]

@@FedorFox no, there was an actual squadron called "Sonderkommando Elbe" you are thinking of just sonderkommando

[@FedorFox]

@@onzaie Yeah but you still wouldn't call it "Sonderkommando" because that doesn't make sense. I don't think you quite understand what I mean (or you don't speak German). Essentially, "Sonderkommando Elbe" was a unit that literally translates to "Elbe special command" - as in the European river. Thus, you wouldn't call it "Elbe" because that's a river, you wouldn't call it "Sonderkommando Elbe" because that's the unit, and you wouldn't call it "Sonderkommando" because that's a noun (it'd have to be a verb for it to be an action). Out of the three, "committing Sonderkommando Elbe" is probably the most fitting as it is specific enough to not be confused with general German words, and can be interpreted as an action (or at least moreso than the others). Of course, I understand "Kamikaze" is itself a noun, which has taken the role of an action in English. However, I just can't get over how gramatically incorrect it sounds from a German-speaking point of view (which might explain why you think it sounds totally fine).

[@fallen3173]

8:42 Was me, and ngl the snail screwed me over as it switched to the K-4 for no reason. This was fun and I hope to do this again…preferably without any unlisted planes in my lineup 😅

[@jonscott9419]

10:36 you take that back RIGHT NOW SIR

[@S1su]

Finally this video is out! I still can’t belive that my suggestion was chosen. This event was the most fun I’ve ever had in my 3000h+ war thunder experience. Thank you SO MUCH Vadact❤

[@umuttok6351]

Wassup my dudes

[@bigsmaks]

they really need to add a boming raid game mode to warthunder and peraps a historical game mode were we go threw historical battles of ww1 and ww2 even the Vietnam war

[@alegk8394]

you should do this again but with Dresden at night and in Lancasters

[@Acetheskyhook]

bombers stick out like a sore thumb against the contrails. lol and screw you for saying the mustang is ugly! but the F4U is a beautiful plane.

[@theconfederacyofindependen7268]

Thank you for having a historically accurate mission in THIS video

[@D.MENTASM]

🤣😂🤣The commentary is hilarious , with the excitment and thrust of aerial combat has it was on those Missions. Am looking forward to getting to this level to engage the Enemy ,to have a laugh and enjoy the game together

[@kbradsh]

I like how Mattwd had a British union jack on his American b-17, it makes me laugh, lol.

[@TheOtherAviationGuy]

You know you’re safe when you get escorted by the red tails

[@xxw379k]

"I'm hiding in the chemtrails" 😂

[@ThatoneWW2lover]

Finally they did something like this I been waiting for weeks.

[@PhoenixLaMore]

There was a b17 called the ALL AMERCIAN and the tail was almost cut off by a bf 109 crashing into it on acitent

[@socialmediaagenturbremen6050]

[@FabXo_1]

Did y’all know that a group of b17’s went to bomb Germany irl but then the lead b17 got hit with a huge gap on the back. yet still was able to land successfully?

[@Horizonhawk_4586]

That was fun, my first death was due to lag and the snail dragging me to hell lol.

[@cyanideklomu]

Your war thunder videos are epic 👍👍👍👍👍

[@nightshadedawn]

It would have been really cool to have like a small 262 formation come in at the end of the day flight for one last final wave.

[@anttitheinternetguy3213]

Yeah, two Me-262's And two Me-163's would Have Been great addition, Also some B-24's

[@sombodythatyouusedtoknow9046]

(You know the drill) Day 11 of asking Vadact to use my idea Something it would be cool for a video is a recreation of Operation:Anchorage! from Fallout 3 in GTA 5, like it could have 3 parts, first the US must destroy the fuel tanks in a chinese tank depot, second: Us forces must secure a listening post and defend it from a counter attack and finally, The US will assault the refinery that serves as the PLA´s HQ

[@GODZILLA_MINUS_ONE_EDIT]

You play on PC right? I play from PS4, I know I control it, but if it can be done from PC, can you explain to me where I have to find the game keyboard controls? Thank you :)

[@ItsOofy]

this should be like a mission in WT, it would be so cool that your one of the b-17's and the others are bots, its good for learning how to drop bombs

[@arthurzheng9842]

Haha! Why not bring an F-22 Raptor into it and the German interceptors will be all, "WHAT THE HECK HOW DID THEY UPGRADE THEIR GLOSTER METEOR LIKE THAT???"

[@BlackCraft360]

Next get P-40 Warhawks

[@StarTrekFan24]

Absolutely love war thunder and the B-17

[@notfinn1583]
