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!

One British bomber I’d like to see added would be the avro Vulcan, but with what the GB tech tree looks like I think it is an unlikely addition but still a possible one.

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. Below are the following specifications for the last variant to be produced with/without modifications B-36J and B-36J-III Crew: 15 Power Plant: (6) P&W R-4360-53 Wasp Major radial engines and (4) J47-GE-19 Jet Engines Armament: (8) 20mm gun turrets, 6 are retractable and 1 guided with radar Payload: up to 86,000 pounds of bombs and nuclear-capable Combat speed/combat altitude: 368mph/39,700 feet Max speed/altitude: 428mph/38,500 feet Stall speed: 130mph (120mph when on minimum fuel and max payload) WEP is possible, at sea level the time is 5 minutes(turbo critical), and at 35,000 for 30 minutes to continue depending on power levels and engine health.

And i hate being put on domination matches all the time when i got like 2-3 bombers in my line up but when i use fighters and all im placed on maps with bases. It makes no sense to me

[@TheZdrack]

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

UK bombers in real life: Sturdy, if somewhat vulnerable planes, escorted by fighters to the target where they rain hell down from the sky. UK bombers in War Thunder: Apparently made of tissue paper and get popped from halfway across the map by a single burst of fire. Good luck trying to find anyone who’ll protect you on the way to the targets!

[@TheBuccaneer1975]

Really nice content and gorgeous attention to detail - but I'd LOVE to see the release of the Valiant, Victor and Vulcan.

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

[@person___9]

i think the hampden is my favorite british bomber. its like your generic bomber, like the b-25, do 17, pe-2, etc.

[@bajtars822]

But if gayjin hates bombers, why are they doing these videos? Ohhh only the money matters.

The Lincoln stuff was interesting. Also Canberra’s pronounced KAN-brə or KAN-bə-rə, at least in Australia.

Hidden pieces of History of the Fairey Swordfish and the Lancaster. The Swordfish severely damaged damaged the KMS Bismarck's steering system and the Lancaster actually and literally nuked a battleship with the Tallboy. The Tirpitz sank after literally being nuked by the Lancaster

Aerican players laugh when they see my defensive turrets, But then get slapped when they see some of the biggest bomb loads in game.

[@flukedogwalker3016]

Didn't mention the Mossie but it was a light bomber which could do just about anything and the Tsetse was the best.

[@pearofgeeksii8156]

You said there were three British bombers at the onset of war, but you missed the night/heavy bomer the Armstrong Whitworth Whitley. Also the Swordfish whilst still in service in Fleet Command in 1939 was in the process of being replaced by the Blackburn Skua; although it and its sister plane the Roc were withdrawn from active service after the Norwegian campaign, making the Fairey Swordfish one of the few planes to outlast its replacement in active service. Then of couse, you did a whole video on British bombers and never mentioned the de Haviland Mosquito; which in itself should be cause for handing in your bow tie at the front desk as you leave the history department; but you covered the Fleet Air Arm without mentioning the Fairey Barracuda! Saccrilege!

[@YoYo51014]

Great video my favourite and it is perfection

[@Deuce_and_a_half]

Please make a separate gamemode for heavy bombers. So our bases don't get stolen by Strike aircraft, and we don't fall apart by the first burst of machine gun fire from an enemy who sneezes in our direction.

[@HarpicDelicious]

Hey uh gaijin i would like to seek a help..When I opened the game i cant move either the planes and its says "Warning! Your buttons are not assigned". What should I do because I do not know how to reset the settings and further more, I cant press the W and S and the plane it wont move..Can you help me or someone. i would appreciate it.

[@kjelliboy]

I am missing just one small very important bomber for the British, the Vulcan

[@Honey.1.1]

Quite early, actually, I am more of a World of Tanks player, but I do really like watching your videos! Keep up the good work!

[@mandolinic]

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

[@lorddaemon12]

Me: so any Re-new modeling in the cockpit of bombers??? Gaijin: sorry we will not implement any new features for the bomber cockpit because that is not our first priority

[@kingquokka1934]

Is the Lincoln with the Aussie upgrades in game? Of course the extra armament is better, but STRAYA! enough said.

[@SoymeScaleModels]

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

the first plan for dambusters raid was to use torpedo bombers, but it was scrapped because of torpedo nets.
