american aircraft that was at RAF Burtonwood near Warrington uk where, B17, B24, P-400 AIRCOBRA, Douglas A-26 Invader, b25, p47, p51, p38, B26 Martin Marauder, B-29, and many other american aircaft and british too

[@evabawden4828]

It's called an airacobra

[@adrianomuller7165]

P-39 Is the most competitive American plane at low tear, and is beautiful.

[@onyourkilllist6880]

Ewwwww, it’s ugly! That’s coming from a guy who thinks the Do 335 is sexy tho. So I guess the lesson of the day is, options are like assholes. Everyones got one.

[@iank6897]

How the hell do you take a 335 over a p-39 for looks... those sleek, smooth lines rival the spitfire. It's nowhere near ugly, certainly not as much as many other planes in the game

[@spindash64]

OnYourKillList 335? You mean the Flying Asparagus Monster?

[@onyourkilllist6880]

spindash64 Yes sir

[@onyourkilllist6880]

Ian K Ummm, I think it has something to do with its exhaust pipes center body, with a center mounted engine. The nose is short because of this and it’s ugly. The canopy is ugly too imo. The P-40 is far better looking imo.

[@georgegeorge9361]

When you want an assist but forget you have a 37mm

[@wickedwilliwonka]

When you shoot all three calibers at once you might get a good 'overall spread', but the farther out you start firing the less effective the 37mm gets due to the slow velocity. It find it most effective at ranges between .3 - .1 km, so that's why I start firing at around .6 - .5 km with the small caliber, and when I get closer I try to get a hit with the 37mm in with no more than 2-4 taps usually. This works for most kills and produces less sparks.

[@-m4nGo-]

Noted. Thx mate!

[@skyzocker5061]

Same

[@InForTheLonghaul]

I’m pretty sure the P 400 was the export version of the P 39. The difference was that the engine was turned down for the export version.

[@jengar6258]

wasnt it a prototype?

[@InForTheLonghaul]

@@jengar6258 Just looked it up on Wikipedia. The XP-39 is the prototype and the YP-39 is the service test model. P-39 in its various versions is the production model and the P-400 is an export model P-39 with down-tuned weapons. :)

[@nairb-ds1vn]

As a Spitfire player - these P-39-N are the bane of my life. If I can't avoid the head-ons which their pilots always want to force; then I'm just dead and done for! If I avoid it - they dive away and the Spit can't follow them. You were speaking of the 'kill steal' - you know, I'd still really like to hear what you're thinking as you fly. I understand you're describing and reviewing the aircraft first and foremost - but it would be so useful for us aspiring pilots who still don't too well. But fantastic video Sir!

[@daddu5325]

Can you do the ki-61 hei please I haven’t seen a video on this plane in a while

[@Burboss]

Soviet ace Pokryshkin used his Aircobra like you do, including high speed attacks and firing all guns at once.

[@jengar6258]

Great minds think alike ;)

[@Burboss]

@@jengar6258 xD

[@QuetzPoisler]

Starting in this year, if you set someone on fire and leave, the whole team try to get the kill. So now everybody ks and nobody cares anymore (with some exceptions)

[@robertgaudet7407]

I wait for the fire to go out. Then I steal the kill :)

[@wolfknight1768]

I love using the aeracobra because it’s got extreme agility, heavy firepower, and is pretty damn fast

[@jengar6258]

great plane indeed!

[@jasonhudspeth5854]

Great video bro! This is my second favorite plane!

[@radosawsocha2400]

which is 1?

The 37mm at that BR is insane. I love one-two shotting everything

[@jengar6258]

its fun when they explode aye! :)

[@Treblaine]

If a problem comes along YOU MUST WEP IT!

[@jengar6258]

hehe, yeah, throttle management can be vital ;)

[@vinhed]

I haven’t played this game for a long time but I still love watching your vids :D

[@kinocorner976]

The term “kill stealing” is trash. If someone got the kill before me, then they deserved it, especially taking out a target. One less baddy for me to worry about in a dogfight. People forget team work. That’s why I love working with a group of friends. No matter who gets the kill, the win matters.

[@jengar6258]

agreed to a certain extend. It stops being teamwork though when the enemy is burning, spiraling to the ground and 3-4 allies dive after it to 'steal' the kill. Those scenario's can be called kill stealing without trashyness.

[@kinocorner976]

Jengar I can understand that- when the whole team dives for a Bomber- They get swatted and your left with no protection.

[@RoonEnjoyer]

unless the guy is flat spinning and someone swoops ur kill

[@tetraire3844]

You have hit on the essence of this plane very well. Keep it fast and it will last. Thanks for posting.

[@mason9483]

Hi Jengar, I love the way you conduct your review of each aircraft and was wondering if you will ever move over to reviewing tanks or ships? Nice review man, cheers!

[@samuellatta6774]

This plane is my absolute favourite, its super fast for 3.0, has decent guns and can dogfight really well especially against 109s its good

[@RoonEnjoyer]

unless the 109 pilot uses his brain to energy trap you

[@samuellatta6774]

if you use the airtarget belt for the 37mm and then shoot at wings the wing wil just cut off like butter trust me

if you hit aye

I love flying the P-39N Take this baby to the heavens and drop in on the little birds

[@sparrow9990]

It needs more pen for the 37 and the rockets to be good for its intended job like y cant I tear apart a light tank from the roof like bruh

[@texasgent63]

P 400 wast export version of the P 39 and was a cheaper costing plane , no super charger which made it a very poor fighter , yet the P 39 was better all the way around of course How are you Boss , hope all is well for you and yours , The Texas Gent

[@dogeness]

Every propeller fighter in WW2 had a forced induction system such as a supercharger or turbocharger. Both the P-400 and the P-39 (and also P-40) didn't have TWO-SPEED superchargers, which made them only good at low altitudes. But they certainly had a supercharger with a single gear (speed). The P-39 and P-400 were the exact same plane except for the 20mm instead of 37mm. One wasn't better than the other. The P-39 models we have in game have engines of a different production block and are running a higher engine setting than the P-400, which is why it has better performance. But when the P-400 entered service it was no better or no worse than the P-39.

[@texasgent63]

@@dogeness The British export models were renamed "Airacobra" in 1941. A further 150 were specified for delivery under Lend-lease in 1941 but these were not supplied. The Royal Air Force (RAF) took delivery in mid-1941 and found that performance of the non-turbo-supercharged production aircraft differed markedly from what they were expecting

[@texasgent63]

V-1710-15 non-turbo-supercharged engines, and the remaining 524 as Lightning IIs [AF221/AF744] with turbo-supercharged V-1710-F5L/-F5R engines

[@texasgent63]

so in comment yes they were with out turbo super chargers the engine numbers for the non turbo 38 and the non turbo P400 were basic same engine , So thank for the correction , But Pretty sure I was correct , Have a great day , The Texas Gent

[@iank6897]

P-400s were earlier models, equivalent to P-39Ds. The P-39N was a 1943ish plane which had an improved engine. The Russians mostly used the later models of P-39 which had a lot of improvements and may explain why they had better success than the US and Britain did initially with the P-39D/P-400 models in 1941/42.

[@everything_restoration_rev5901]

But 18sec turrentine top speed around 900 put prop fathering 70% and mixture 70% improves the performance a lot

[@Thom709]

Eyy ik heb een vraag voor de volgende video kan je de duitse cl13 nog eens uit probeeren?

[@thebbqbandito2868]

Russian p-39 is about 200 km/h slower than the original American one. Fascinating logic from gaijin 🤣

[@jengar6258]

i seriously doubt that. That difference at the br is huge. would mean this one sits around 300 in a straight line. Which cant be the case.

[@NotDumbassable]

yaks are damn good at prop hanging due to their light weight^^ great video. BTW have you considered maybe doing a discussion on what Gaijin ought to do to make RB better and more populated? I know it may sound counterintuitive, but what about getting rid of shared information which is based on sight? F.e. if one couldn´t see enemy icons based on an allies´ line of sight, only if those allies pointed them out, this alone would force players to cooperate more. It would also get rid of the ahistorical distortion of balance in WT, since climbing ability doesn´t dominate the beginning of the match as much. You can´t dive onto an enemy you don´t see after all. F.e. the P39 could easily compete with the Fw 190 A5 below 3000m, yet still it has a BR of 3.3 whereas the A5 has a BR of 4.7!!! Or a La 5 FN fighting a Bf 109 F4! The FN outperformed every German plane in 1943, when the F4 was long out of comission!

[@Starfightingf104]

DO THE P39Q5, IT'S GOT OVER A 90% WINRATE ON THUNDERSKILL!!!!!

[@z3r0_35]

You’re incorrect about the P-400. It wasn’t a prototype, but rather a designation for an export model of an early P-39 meant for the RAF, which swapped out the 37 mm cannon for a 20 mm. The Brits hated it, sent it back to the US, and we used it for a bit.

[@jengar6258]

okay, fair enough, i read that somewhere, long ago ;)

[@z3r0_35]

@@jengar6258 Another detail I forgot to add was that the P-400 was arguably even less liked by the USAAF than it was with the RAF. Its high altitude performance was even worse due to cost-cutting measures taken when making them (namely omitting the already anemic supercharger completely), and it was commonly referred to as "A P-40 with a Zero on its Tail", due to it having the same armament as the early P-40s (two .50s and four .30s) plus a 20 mm cannon. While the P-39's poor reputation in US service is largely undeserved (seeing as the very things that US pilots complained about turned out to be its biggest strengths when flown by the Soviets), the P-400 just kinda sucked.

[@callummoss6828]

Jw if you might bring some notice to it

I dont get it. I hit my shots like u do with other planes and u get a kill but wen i do it with my spitfire mk vb i only get a hit and thats it

it's because of the 37mm bruh

[@thelocksmith5485]

The 37 millimeter is completley reliable, what do you mean?

[@JoseARomo-qv5fk]

It's not accurate, and it likes to jam if your burst is too long. It's best to fire it in bursts of 3 shots, 5 at most

[@Reyon88]

Reliability? That cannon scores so many 'hits' or at least it used to that das not even funny

[@spindash64]

Reyon88 In my experience the Cobra’s cannon is reasonably reliable. It can “hit”, true, but I find that it scores critical damage frequently enough to work, and you only need 1 Crit shell to destroy most planes The gun is also much more forgiving stock than the NS-37 on the Yak 9T is If you ever find yourself wanting more amp tho, the A-10 and C-5 models of the bigger brother, the king cobra, can take 58 shells along with a slightly higher RoF
