[@mikelli4544]

Having played British bombers since 2014 I can say with complete confidence that British piston engine bombers are the worst, most painful experience Warthunder has to offer. From their lack of any useful offensive armament to the incredible opposition they face, it must be one of the least enjoyable things to do. Understandably, these planes were night bombers so from a realistic perspective it’s somewhat understandable, but seriously, the only thing the British bombers are good for is losing money

[@HeathrowAviator]

In my opinion, they get a LOT better after the Lincoln. The Aussies did a great job with that one!

Hopefully, many of them (e.g. Blenheim is still the War Thunder predecessor Birds of Steel model so over 10 years old by now) will get at least the polygon increase and updated textures that the B-17 & G4M got this update, though much nicer would be an actual full remodel update (even B-17 still has some geometry errors, despite the polygon increase).

As much as I love the vulcan I'm afraid it couldn't be implemented properly in war thunder. It would be next to impossible to balance as its only defence is speed and altitude.

Day 8 Greeting fellow war thunderian I am here to introduce a proposition in the wonderful game we play. The era is the mid-late cold war. The new addition of aircraft leads to the conclusion of the 1970’s so it makes it appropriate to update and add this new aircraft to the tech tree. I am speaking of the bombers, the American plane designed for world war 2 but due to the wartime effort, it was introduced to the early cold war. The name of this aircraft is commonly known as the B-36 Peacemaker, Magnesium overcast, and the plane that never dropped a bomb in anger along with a funny joke told by the men who’ve flown and worked with her during its service, six turning, four burning" into two turning, two burning, two smoking, two choking and two more unaccounted for. The reason for this slogan was due to the massive unit of a plane this was, it was powered by 6 engines designated the P&W R-4360 Wasp Major and 4 J47-GE-19 Jet engines modified to run on a select fuel that the plane was carrying with later modifications and iterations of the engines the last variant produced were able to achieve 395 mph(409 at combat speed, in war thunder this is known as WEP), at its optimum altitude it would be 410 mph at 36,400 feet and its cruising speed being 227 mph at 5000ft this would change along with the flight as you would below to avoid radar and then climb to a higher altitude to avoid confrontation with the enemy speaking of the armament. The Peacemaker could be view as big and slow to some but it can protect itself with 16 20mm type M24A1 guns, 2 of these cannons in turrets there are 8 turrets throughout the aircraft the nose, tail (the tail is the first in American bombers to have a radar-based defense with a AN/APG-41A gun-laying radar), uppermost and rear top fuselage, and lastly the rearmost bottom turrets. These defenses could be stowed within the aircraft while in flight to reduce drag, at any point in time you could have up to 2 turrets which is four deadly fast firing cannons trained on your aircraft, the fire rate and the type of ammunition being a API and an HEI shell the gunners can make quick work of any unwanted foe. There was a featherweight program to reduce the weight of the aircraft. This allowed an increased speed and rage but not without its drawbacks. 'featherweighting' mods. (I) was the removal of all defensive guns except the tail gun, and (II) was the removal of the bunks, stove, and fire suppression system. For nerd reasons, both mods together were (III). This was implicated late in its service life as the rise of jets with higher altitude hindered the advantage of the aircraft in its high altitude at the time it was built and meant for. She was designed for WW2 if Britain was ever lost the Americans would need a way to bomb Germany and come back home. With a range up to 8221 miles and a radius of 10,650 miles along with a maximum bomb capacity of 86,000 pounds, the Peacemaker could start and end a war in a fell swoop. From its development in 1946 to its beginning trials in 1948 and its service from 1949 to 1959 she was the backbone of the United States Airforce which was starting out but made a name for itself.

Wellington Straight at Silverstone Circuit is named after Vickers Wellington. There's also Hangar Straight there

[@lolbitgamingii4912]

2:27 fun fact. In ww2, the british set a world record by building a Wellington in under 1 day, and they had made it from scratch

[@thecolor6672]

are you going to add the manchester? or maybe the vulcan?

[@blueshark7385]

There are a lot of bombers that are better than the Avro Manchester for Gaijin to add. Blackburn Skua Vickers Wellesley Fairey Barracuda Fairey Battle Armstrong Whitworth Whitley Armstrong Whitworth Albemarle Early variants of the Bristol Blenheim and bomber variants of the De Havilland Mosquito

[@blueshark7385]

@Vlad Melis No Not at all

[@blueshark7385]

@Vlad Melis None of the aircraft I presented there would be suited a br anywhere near the Do 335. The Skua, Battle and Barracuda are single engined naval light dive/fighter bombers, with the Battle and Barracuda being mass produced aircraft, and the Skua achieved the first air victory of the Second World War when a group of them attacked and shot down a Do 18 (another plane that would be nice to see in game)

[@blueshark7385]

@Vlad Melis Really? I believe that a Ki-10 would find it quite challenging to shoot down a B-17, or even a Wellington or Do 17. I don't quite think you get what I'm saying at all. Something like the Skua or Wellesley would be at 1.3 or 1.7, like where the other similar performing light bombers and dive bombers are. I never said anything about War Thunder being close to real life.

Blenheim Mk II is shown in the video. The original Blenheim was conceived as a heavy fighter and was repurposed because of its inadequate performance in that role.

[@mattgaming03333]

I have the dambuster airfix plane on my ceiling, it continues to be my favourite bomber

[@douglasparkinson4123]

a lincoln succesfulyl chopping off a 335 wings. like thats ever happenned in the game.

[@eldritchgod4308]

without losing it's tail at that too.

[@williamdan5587]

Please add a Mosquito b mk 5

[@TheZdrack]

Gaijin using the word resilient when describing bombers... man that's hilarious

[@andrewmontgomery5621]

My late grandad absolutely loves the Lancaster.

[@mikebrase5161]

The first Wellington being 2.0 and the Heinkel 111 H-3 being 1.7 is a pretty big head scratcher. It makes no sense.

[@athiftsabit1208]

This historical series like brand and nation specific history, etc should be listed in the playlist

[@DriffieldWhiteMOT]

Crazy the mighty V bombers don’t even get a mention!

[@mandolinic]

I think you missed out the three V-bombers: the Valiant, the Victor, and the mighty Vulcan.

[@theconfederacyofindependen7268]

It reality However. The Swordfish didn't have a single torpedo. It actually had a few bombs

[@thom0243]

now add the vulcan victor and valiant

[@hi_-bz7wf]

Why is the Wellington a shot trap in game? Any shot that comes within 10m of the aircraft get directed into the pilot.

[@SoymeScaleModels]

The Shack was in service until 1991 with the RAF, not 84.

[@polakrodak8538]

5:32 "the avro Manchester" Gajin what are you planning? You don't usually mention tanks planes and ships outside of your game and don't add them

[@SeaSwordForce]

He's explaining the history of the aircraft?....

[@boeingbetty24jettonlousie85]

The Wellington bomber only two compared to the B-17's four and five than ten but the Wellington has a sturdy fuelsalauge which means that it can withstand some of the most nasty punishments unlike the B-17 which has thin metal skin which means the B-17 can't withstand so much damage without blowing up despite that problem the B-17 has a powerful Pratt & Whitney R-1690 Hornet Radial Engine which the B-17 has four of them (two on each wing) this engine can put out a tree sweeping 750 horsepower which means the B-17 is nicknamed "the flying fortress" cause it has no chance of giving up and blow up unlike the Wellington which has two (one on each wing) the Wellington has three turrets unlike the B-17 which has a new Ball Turret and waist guns and a choice on Weither or not to get a chin turret the B-17 has five when you compare the G model B-17 unlike the J model B-24 which has a retractable ball turret

[@cesarst3720]

War thunder should add a game mod of protecting as bombers as you can against enemy fighters
