Full Do-335 B-2 Review - Should You Buy It? Ground Pound MONSTER [War Thunder]

The Do-335 B-2 is an absolute beast of a plane that can easily destroy both tanks and planes, as well as ships, if you'd prefer, but should you buy it? I go over that and more in this video.

Theese are greatly appriciated! However you made a mistake in the video, when you sed it has 2 30mm Mk 103 cannons, when it in fact has 3 of thoose bad boys: 2 in the wings, and 1 in the nose.

[@The_ThunderMan]

He also said it get 95mm of pen but it’s actually around 70

[@cscs4169]

Appreciate that you're working your ass off to give us relevant and straight to the point information packed neatly into relatively short videos instead of trying to milk the sales "event" with a 10 minute video upload every hour about each vehicle you recommend without actually saying anything useful for 9 of those 10 minutes.

[@Tankenstein]

Is there someone that's doing that?

[@cscs4169]

@@Tankenstein In my opinion, yes, but I'm not here to stir up drama so I'll just shut up about it. Let's just say that I love your content and style and hope that you keep it up

[@TheTryingDutchman]

Tec lol

[@buchelly8047]

All of these are true except for the toughness you mentioned… One single 50. Cal to the fuselage can take you down. Either way I highly recommend this plane. Best premium I’ve bought for both fun and power!

[@buchelly8047]

Its better now! Also, this thing feels wayyyyyyy faster in sim and is fantastic one-shotting anything it sneezes on

[@TomPrickVixen]

I have this plane since the week it was added, but its one of those premiums i rarely ever use(d). When it was added its filght-model was bad, and took a long time for GAYjin to look into it. By that time the Ju-288 was added, and that was my go to grinder and pick in mixed battles, (till it was nerfed to 6.0, adding another premium to "i no longer use" list), and that was the plane that unlocked most rank 5 and 6 to me. By the time I reached 5.7 in naval, heavy-fighters were reclassified to attackers, and since u can only take 1 fighter + 1 attacker/bomber the Ju-188 + FW-190 combo replaced it (or them with the Ju-288).

[@mayonotes9849]

Holy crap. I think you shot the bomb and it killed the 190 along with the Pe-8.

[@Tankenstein]

But it didn't count as a TK :)

[@robgates4217]

I love the 7:56 Pe-8 nuke midair explosion.

[@xvang9346]

A good 5.7 plane, I highly recommend.

[@Tankenstein]

I got it via the 299GE item packs and, while I overspent, I cannot be happier with the plane. It immediately became one of my favorite planes that I've ever used.

[@rodrigodiaz2195]

isn't it going down to 5.3?

[@xvang9346]

@@rodrigodiaz2195 not sure, the premium one has better armaments and more 30mm shells

[@rodrigodiaz2195]

@@xvang9346 I bought the premium a while back and absolutely love it, I take out bombers first and then pick off lone targets, I always thought it was an amazing plane so I just remember being really surprised reading the most recent br planned changed say that this is going down to 5.3

[@treefittyfoh1562]

@@Tankenstein Obviously this is no turn fighter. I get OK results with it. but its only good for one pass most of the time in Ground RB. After your pass some fighter gets on your tail and puts out your rear engine with one bullet from a kilometer away and your done. They catch me easily after that. This happens most times I have flown it no matter if I fly as straight as possible and only move to avoid gunfire from the rear. Not worth the money full price. This things speed is underwhelming in game compared to the hype of being the fastest piston engine aircraft in WWII. The bombs are more useful than the guns too.

[@Praetorian242]

Great video, appreciate the work you're putting in brother! One small note, the B-2 has 3 total mk103's (the third is tucked into the nose) not just the two in the wings

[@Tankenstein]

Yeah, I misspoke in the video. Also, thank you! I appreciate the kind words.

[@johnroscoe2406]

Great video. The 335 B-2 is definitely the one Premium aircraft I bought that I play the most and have absolutely no regrets about; Air RB or Ground RB it's a dream. Really nice when you need quick SL; throw on an SL Booster, go Air RB, pop Anti-Mech order and strafe anything and everything until you can't anymore and even in a loss you'll make bank. I recently put this in an MBT lineup with my PT-16/T14 and I could still strafe semi-modern and modern hardware like nobody's business. What a dream! Guys Tankenstein is right. I know this video is 7mos old as I write this but if you're reading this YOU WILL NOT REGRET THIS THING if you play it to its strengths.

[@shawncsenki8221]

Great reviews man! The Warthunder community will notice!

[@jetnavigator]

I find this to be a very frustrating plane with difficult handling characteristics. It can be good at CAS, but it's hard work. Plenty of people can get it to work. Definitely try before you buy.

[@johnroscoe2406]

Practice practice practice. Its sluggish handling and slow guns makes it difficult to aim in a turn or coming out of a turn.

[@PLASMA_2005]

Yeah... i have a tendency to kiss the ground with it myself lol... otherwise I like er

[@user-us1it7ft6j]

I just got the plane and its absurd. I feel like a god when I fly because of how well it responds.

[@kingghidorah8106]

easily one of the best props in the game. It has the air defence fighter spawn changed to attacker but still doesn't solve anything, if else makes it even more dangerous since it won't need to dive as hard and risk getting reversed.

[@TheGXDivider]

Great for my 5.7 german ground line up. It's the warthog little brother. On a good snowy map it's easy 3 free kills. 1 with the bomb and then 2 strafing runs before I get spitfired.

[@potato-fk8jt]

Nice double upload

[@Jesuslordofthedance]

I've been looking at this plane for a really long time, after watching this I'm gonna pick it up while it's on special.

[@Tankenstein]

Dude, it is AMAZING. I'm not a huge fan of the other Do-335s, but the B-2 just feels amazing. Like a total upgrade in every way, or like a totally different plane. I hope you enjoy it!

[@Jesuslordofthedance]

@@Tankenstein Just played a ground RB round in it and loved it. Next up is interception. Keep up the good work, brother!

[@AlexisaswomGaming]

Considering it sits at the Same BR as Tigers and Panthers its very good for German players

[@xstorm_8_shadowx]

Nasty plane… terror of the sky especially at the Br it sits

[@PLASMA_2005]

I'll do love the plane but have terrible luck with it at ground realistic only because I have a tendency to kiss the ground.... yeah I'm dumb with it... I do know to NEVER use it too fog fight, but I love running a bombers day lol

[@agravemisunderstanding9668]

This thing is so easy to kill with fast as like the R3 since in a strafe i have been able to dodge it or get to cover, plus most ap shots actually just fly straight through the R3 tinfoil armour, and then kill it while it's compressing and can't dodge me properly, its even easy when it goes for freindlys near you. If you do fly this thing kill Any R3s while they are distracted before anything else since their autocannons will shred you or leave you crippled.

[@Lore-94]

Great plane,but the BR which sits in is painful for germany

[@tactical_snails2198]

Very true its a good cas opinion for Germany but its a poor plane compared to what the others are packing

[@hutztuz3914]

What do you think is worth more to buy? The plane or the battlepass because of the 7.0 pt 76 57?

[@jasper7535]

Great plane, however you are going to end up in a match full of bombers in your team if you play air rb

[@RealVand3r]

I have dogfighted in a tu2 before , yes you probably will get out. Turned but it’s fun to try a challenge

[@PSNGamer]

Do you think they'll add more german premium jets

[@agislycoudis4139]

Yes you should. Its a fantastic plane.

[@j0eblden342]

will you be covering the mig 21 sps k?

[@Tankenstein]

I might. I received the test drive for it about a week later than I wanted, so I had to review the Weizman Spitfire instead. I may have a review out next week, being that it isn't time sensitive.

[@2fat2carry34]

I find it Hard to Master as its handling is Just awfull, when you are CASing with this thing it has the wierd habbit to tilt to one side while you turn and approach your target making you basically shoot sideways, also its like a flying Rock it loses so much speed and altitude while turning which can be fatal at low altitudes and yeah lets not forget about the turning radius which is Just pure cancer. The good thing is its fast and deadly in the right hands but for me it is definatelly wait for sale or buy with coupon only, not recommending buying it for full price. Personally i would place this plane for around 3k GE.

[@pilotpug]

Wtf happen at 07:54 Pe-8 bomb exploding mid air!

[@gameland_]

Is good from 7.0?

[@asu-5748]

This is why i bought it....

[@cristobalalvarez5491]

It should be 7.0 as the a2d1 then

[@CruelSun69]

You're crazy. This plane would get shit on so hard at 7.0

[@Charlietolemy]

It's already painful to play it at 5.7 especially when aircraft at lower br's are much more better like the P-47M 1re at 5.3

[@cristobalalvarez5491]

@@CruelSun69 what do u think happens to the a2d1 in arcade and air realistic gaijin was making good money out of it and could've made more if it wasn't for their stupid idea of having it at 9.0 and 7 0 when it was balanced at 7.0 arcade and 6 7 at realistic

[@freedeoxide]

Long story short You should Simple

[@ahmed-ze9ng]

Trash sl modifier gaijin killed this plan

[@caveyiswow92]

This aircraft sucks to high heaven in ground battles. ITS WAY TO EXPENSIVE FOR A strike aircraft, it cant turn or out run anything in its br. It's really big and if you get something on your ass, goodluck trying to get out alive. It's 30mm has been nerfed in spawn points price and armor pen. Compared to any other cas that has bombs. This thing sucks, this review is really out of date.

[@paulbantick8266]

789 kph = 490 mph? Where did you get that stat from? 'It could take a lot of punishment' And where did you get that information from? Myth-making at its finest. Money-making too @ $25.00 No mention of how reliable it was. That there's a high chance that the aircraft itself will kill you. Is that factor added in the $25 too? It would be only fair, considering the ludicrous speed that's been added. So! If you have the twin-engined Hornet, the Do335 will outfly that too? All bull of course. It did nothing, killed its and allied test pilots and had bad serviceability. Only 20 were delivered, none flew in combat and there's no evidence that its performance was what was stated in development. especially with all up in-service combat weight. Uberwaffe fanboyism at its most blatant. Same crap regarding the Ta 152 too.
