​@@CAL1MBOwell he got himself into that situation, before that, he had every single advantage over Defyn he could of simply pitch up and out climb defyn, but his dumb ass was eager to get the team kill so he decided to turn fight a P-61 that was already going kinda slow, 100% Karma.

[@chocolateLlerma]

Oh man, the l2p was utterly savage but completely deserved. Always satisfying when you meet someone even more toxic than you and get some guilt-free trash talking time.

[@Hadgerz]

I love it, the xp50 gets baited by the g55 long enough for the FW to get guns on, and that somehow becomes the fault of a p61 that was 1) 5kms away at the time; and 2) actively trying to tell the xp50 that the fw was on his six ... and that somehow warrants an attempt to teamkill ... and it turns out the guy who decides he's going to play executioner can't even take a p61 in a p51C. Thinking about it, no surprise the kind of barely-double-digit IQ individual to try and do such a thing wouldn't even be able to seal the deal. just another day in War Thunder

13:07 yea the aa is so annoying with the AoE. some airfields are on a hill so you could technically attack from under, but the tracers literally flew THROUGH the god damn ground. instantly died because aa camping so fun.

[@rifwann]

Yeah.. while its aoe dmg is not too bad, at least fix the ground cover.. its always kills me when you think you are safe from aa and then get pilot sniped..

[@bigtroglodyte]

AA firing at me through the ground has been some of the most annoying deaths I’ve experienced in this game

Always some turbo tryhard who does a hard 180 and dives to his airfield the instant he's losing in a ki43 or some shit too, to protect his precious k/d which he needs to pad up in low tier because he can't win anywhere else. What's with Japan players and being such shitters?

[@panzerofthelake506]

The base aa for jets is quite the opposite, the missile are bad and easy to avoid with ground cover. And if you go over the airfield very low the missile launchers won't be able to fire and the AAA guns dont seem to hit.

[@therd2127]

There are two types of them. They either annihilate you and your team's feelings, or they just miss every shot and crash because they were too focused on you.

[@rifwann]

Yeah.. controlling the turret is hell.. the camera always looking at 6 and it makes me panic turning the camera over before going back to pilot mode and go to gunner again and panicking again.. they should make option to not turn the camera when doing gunner.. it renders front facing gunner useless

[@2toesdeep]

Killing the p61 is pretty tricky man, I usually stay under them at any cost and force them to go up and bleed their speed, once you got em slow you can just BnZ

[@cookiecraze1310]

Fun fact: IRL pilots would lock the turret forward and work with the gunner to fire it at the same time as the 20's. Imagine if you could do that in-game. Quad 20mm's and .50 Cal's.

[@bezimienny_andzej6425]

P-61 turret is great for chasing the enemies. It has unlimited ammo, so you can just spam from 1700m away at a running enemy and you'll eventually hit something vital :)

Have you ever tried turn fighting with the turret? Once you get used to how the turret turns, its actually a bit easy, especially when they slow down. You just need to make sure you have space to do it.

[@690_5]

I genuinely adore the P-61. It's so fucking good.

[@user-hr1uw4cj2z]

People who play it are really fucking stupid Though.

[@SirEpifire]

I love the 61's but the only thing that pisses me off is how nerfed they were on the damage model. They used to be more stout and could gunship on the deck while absorbing hits. Now it feels like the tail gets shot off the minute a round comes in. Still effective but not near as survivable. Turret is hilarious at pilot-sniping in AB though.

[@edwardking9359]

​@SirEpifire It's really annoying in AB. I get it confused with the various other American planes sometimes, and will bait it into trying to head on. I'll perfectly dodge the nose, immediately maneuvering into the perfect position for a snapshot ..... and get fucking domed by the turret midway through turning

What angle or speed do you climb at the beginning of the match? I never end up higher than the 109's

[@yuvimoi3065]

U can't , they just climb better even without an airspawn

[@desertfalcon1539]

With 15° degrees I easily intercepted bombers and often end higher than enemy fighters And even if they are at the same alt, I can easily disengage and outspeed them

[@rileyxbell]

I have shamelessly have like 6000 kills in the p61. Used it to grind the whole US tech tree. It's by far my most played vehicle in the game. Assuming u have it fully researched climb 10-11 degrees from the start of the match with airspawn. U will out climb pretty much every fighter with the exception of a few uptiers with aced 109s or spitfires. Even then they will be roughly the same alt as you. Only time I climb above 10 degrees is when I'm taking off from the af I'll climb at like 14-15 degrees. Until I get above maybe 2000m then I level out, gain speed and climb at 10. The key with the p61 is speed. The problem with climbing at 15 degrees in a heavy plane is you will lose a ton of climbing power as you gain alt and lose speed. 10 degree climb angle is the sweet spot for the p61. You have to fly it like a heavy plane. I try to always keep my speed no lower than 400kmh. Its fast as hell in a straight line but it's also fat so climbing at steep angles will slow you down a ton. Using your straight line speed at shallower climb angles is way more effective. And another tip for flying heavy planes, bombers or anything really, when you're at really high alt (above 5000m), fly in a straight line for a bit and gain a bunch of speed then go into a shallow 1-5 degree climb. You will climb insanely fast since the air resistance is lower at high alt you will keep your speed longer. Hope this helps

[@noracane269]

The P61 is still my most played vehicle even tho I haven't played it in forever ut thats because every time I do play it I always have a bad time and I don't wanna tarnish the memory I have of it.
