Best twin-boom aircraft / War Thunder

[@yahoolix]

Hey Gaijin, I love your game very very much, but please, decompress br’s. The situation at 8.0 - 11.0 (planes) is abysmal, and not as fun as it could be. I think it’s totally worth to wait for a match a minute longer, but have it be fair, balanced, and most importantly, FUN

[@blitzzbob5643]

If you are a smart and patient player, the Narval is one of the best fighters in the game. It clims slow so you will have to side climb a little even with its interceptor spawn. After climbing just focus on maintaining a significant energy advantage and use the 6×20mms to wreck everything.

love the Lightnings and those Swedish twin-boom fighter-bombers. Several high-caliber guns in the nose is nothing to sneeze at, especially when they can still outturn a lot of other fighters. Question: Why do some planes have compartments to catch casings from their guns, while most just eject them into the air?

[@macatohoneznas7041]

It its because they wanted to reuse that precious metal ;)

[@granmarbg]

Hey there Lightning Speed, thanks for your comment I'm glad you enjoy it. It makes me proud to narrate!

[@Naughty_Neko]

I own the P-38K and I can confirm that it is an insanely strong aircraft. Surprisingly good maneuverability, great guns with lots of ammo, and absolutely insane engines. It has great high altitude performance and a climb rate of 24m/s at 5.3 which means you can outclimb pretty much anything on top of it getting an air spawn. I usually climb to about 6000 meters by the time the two teams merge allowing me to loiter for some time while I pick a target. It is very good at boom and zoom as it has very strong engines, but a downside is that is has a relatively low rip speed compared to some single engine fighters at the BR. Rudder compression can also become an issue at high speeds so making some adjustments in a dive can be a little awkward. Last but not least, with it being a premium, it has a very good reward multiplier for SL and RP making it a viable grinder. I highly recommend picking it up next summer if you have the chance. Besides, you'll get to flex the fact that you have the best P-38 model in the game ;)

[@spindash64]

The fatter props also just look really good on it

[@Naughty_Neko]

@@spindash64 I agree! The fat props are definitely more visually appealing

[@SomewhatSummarized]

Increase RP and SL gain for non premium players. Adding more vehicles without adding a higher multiplier will only make the grind more extreme.

[@darkest_eclipse8271]

My favorite is the Sm.91, it’s armament is so good. It has a surprising vertical maneuverability too, when I was fooling around I managed to make 2 bf-109s and a Yak try to follow me and set them up to be shot down by my team.

[@setesh1294]

[@NyanCatMatt]

The de Havilland Sea Vixen is one of my favorite jets in real life because it's so quirky and its history is storied as well. In game, it's not great, no guns, sub-par AAMs, but it's really easy to get above everyone and dive on top of them and at 8.7 it's kind of perfect where it sits, especially since SU-25s moved up to 10.0.

[@Highlander_Red]

Gaijin if you think keeping the KV 1B at 4.0 is a good idea you are wrong. The KV 1C might suffer a bit at 5.0 but even then. As a German main with my friend who has the KV 1B, I can tell you that it should be 4.3 or you can add more powerful guns in each tree to deal with it at 4.0. The Germans get multiple proper high velocity guns by 3.0-3.3 with the Marder III H, Panzer IV F2, and G, and Stug III F. I recommend it even if I am a German main, and will be dealing with the SU-85M and the T-34/85 (D5T) when and if they go down to 5.0 with my Panzer IV H and J. I don’t complain as much, and just deal with it on the battlefield. But for the sake of the game’s improvement and for the average player’s experience I honestly beg tou Gaijin to do something, thank you for considering and reading my thoughts.

My personal favorites are the Lightning and the Venom.

The Venom, meanwhile, is slower than most Jets it fights, but it has superior turn response and good acceleration

The Swedish J-28b is King because of it’s great ammo for the Hispanos and you can turn-fight almost all enemies. It’s acceleration and survivability is quite good too. Never had an easier time getting aces. With or without talisman, it’s the best grinder for that tier.
