Nerd³ Plays... Wings of Prey

[@meehaiii]

its so weird seeing him fly on the same map, 7 years ago, on Wings of Prey, as the same map that I play on in War Thunder today. lol

[@diesel5471]

Dude its the same game, this IS alpha WarThunder.

[@thenonexpert6602]

Exactly but he sould have used the me262 a1 u4 with the 50mm Canon that is basically just a flying tank destroyers

[@seraph4601]

for me it's how i watched this when it came out, played the demo a ton on the 360, eventually got a PC and now I have like 5k hours in war thunder :3

Lol, WarThunder before it became an MMO.

[@metalmaterial9104]

And I'm pretty sure WT has more than 1 server and no mid game breaks and stuff

[@TheRealHusk]

Kaneki Ken that does not decide if its an MMO or not.

[@metalmaterial9104]

It does

[@metalmaterial9104]

That's like saying CoD is and RPG

[@metalmaterial9104]

If it has more than one server and a point where a the game is in between rounds, it's not an MMO

[@thebobman47]

"That big Earth scuffle that we had." Easily the greatest description of WW2 ever.

[@raptor2265]

Chalks are the wedge things that they put in front of air plane wheels to prevent them from rolling. "Chalks away" pretty much means "let's go", and as a result, the chalks are taken away.

[@dergrammarfuhrer1901]

*Chocks.

[@raptor2265]

Ah, my bad.

[@superduper853]

nice job of name consistence

[@Soup4Dayz]

This game seems like War Thunder with some spiffy camera angles and no tanks.

[@vukpsodorov5446]

it came way before war thunder, and for a good amount of time in war thunder there were no player-controlled ground vehicles.

[@Soup4Dayz]

vuk psodorov I am aware of both of those pieces of information.

[@Viridance]

Soup4Dayz This game was made by Gaijin and its successor is War Thunder, as such when test flying or using the mission editor you can hear the same voices from this game

the gun range on the Spitfire is about 500M. i love how Dan is firing 1K away

Nerdcubed, I have loved watching your videos for many years, but good god, you are a freak of nature for inverting your controls. Up is up. Down is down.

[@Raiders1917]

Holy crap the shit show Gaijin would turn thus into. For those unaware Wings of Prey turns into War Thunder.

[@umcThunder72]

What's wrong with war thunder? And also they are still different games but wings of prey was the origin of their flight engine

"That big earth scuffle"

[@MrSquishedsquashed]

In landing taildraggers you aim to put all wheels on the ground at the same time just as the aircraft stalls, touching the rear or front wheels first is laughed at as a bad landing, usually referred to as a "two pointer" or "three pointer depending on whether the front wheels touch down together or individually.

[@KennyPagley]

Oh my war thunder before it was called war thunder...

[@TheGoodGeneral59]

insert joke about Dan using his "joystick"...

[@DZ-1987]

T'is a stick of Joy, i said many years ago. Now its a stick of joy in VR!

[@bgu6703]

Actually the two types of people in video games are freaks(people who invert) and normals(people who don't invert)

[@PHANTOMCOWGIRL]

normals are up is up? well there was a game that the walking was up is down but no option and in flying games i like up is down but if the normal (infantry) does not have a seperate option then i will go up is up while flying

[@KerbalRocketry]

I'm ultra weird, I never invert the mouse but if flying using a joystick or WASD then I always invert.

***** like me

+Charles Dark (Awsomefastepickiller) Who needed Americans, anyway...

[@charlesdark2861]

Yeah, Who needs Mustangs when you have Chaikas, KV-2s and flying KV-2s?

[@thaneoffife6904]

actually the mustang mk 1a, the ones he was shooting down, was a British variant provided by the US

[@charlesdark2861]

Oh. Thanks for the clarification.

[@smokingspitfire1197]

Charles Dark interestingly, these are the ones with the terrible american allison engines as opposed to the Rolls Royce Merlin that made the Mustang MkIIIs and P-51Ds the iconic american symbols they are. They were hated by the RAF and quickly got rid of.

[@robbiemccann8970]

Chocks away refers to the triangle blocks placed in front of and behind wheels of a plane to stop it rolling. In order to take off the chocks need to be removed, hence chocks away.

[@MrDuelMind]

Is this... War Thunder?

[@elliedee1908]

@@svenzo1199 WT and WoP are literally the same games, minus all the tanks and ships

[@daltonSmile]

How is inversion normal!? It's pull down to look up and up to look down!

[@etherium8017]

then you cannot aim

[@daltonSmile]

I can aim fine

[@etherium8017]

excuses excuses.

[@umcThunder72]

Because it's pull back and forward not up and down

[@dustincaldwell6551]

chocks are logs attached to ropes that are used to keep a plane or vehicle still on the ground, "chocks away" means to remove the chocks to allow the vehicle to move, generally so a plane can take off.

[@fakenews6133]

IL-2 1946 remains my favorite in the series. Good modding scene too. Not to mention that planes dont spontaniously explode when landing.

[@frederik7338]

Why does this looks and feel exactly like Warthunder???

[@MrBoomBoom1942]

War Thunder was known as Wings of Prey before it became War Thunder.

[@157RANDOM]

War Thunder was based off of Wings of Prey, which was known as IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey in North America

[@stevecast6515]

War thunder was more developed on Birds of Steel, which itself came from Birds of Prey.

[@pontusasterback-sevelin445]

Frederik sh Because this and WT are both made by Gaijin

[@exxoaudio5094]

Play war thunder, it's has the same engine as this game but free

[@TheFlyingPineapple]

It's more than just the same engine, most of the aircraft models and flight physics are directly ported over from WoP as well.

Chocks are the triangle ramp things that they put in front of and behind the wheels of planes to keep them from rolling away. It has a very hard time rolling forwards with those still down.

6 years later and this game is still very nice graphically

[@airsoft21887]

yes the the front gear(also called main gear) under the wings then as you slow down the tail wheel will touch down

[@NinjaGinga11]

"Destroy all the one hundred and nine ess..." Knowing what i know about planes I died laughing when you said that

[@Schnipah]

BTW chalk are blocks meant to stop an aircraft from rolling away

[@murderblade7]

13:15 - used for aircraft and trailers, used to 'lock' the wheel in place, if you chock your boat in your driveway, you probably use a brick or similar

[@lcarpetrondookmariot7620]

NerdCubed challenges: Land a P-38 Lightning ON A BRIDGE 1. The P-38 has really stupid tricycle landing gear. There is one wheel in the front, and two wheels in the middle. 2. It has a long tail, which is a guaranteed tail-strike. 3. It's a big plane. 4. You couldn't even land on a bridge in a little Spitfire, so this is extra-hardcore,

[@StellarGryphon]

[@StephendeRiel]

chocs are the wedge like bits that stop the plane wheels from rolling on the ground.

[@jamesgabbard3666]

How to land: decrease speed, extend flaps, gear down, lower altitude, land on either back wheel or all wheels at same time, and add brakes to stop. Nerdcubed version: land at top speed without landing gear with nose down

[@thedemonlord8685]

Nerd Cube: "Im going to play with a joy stick!" *Plays in third person*

[@Kickaflea]

Isn't the reason you touch the front wheels down first because those wheels are the most shock absorbent, and have the brakes in them?

[@daviddel2781]

chocs are the thing you place under the wheels to stop the air craft from filing away

[@zone486]

That last mission for the life of me i can't beat in War Thunder but dan just does it here when he has no idea what hes doing... goddammit.

[@h-ideas7217]

Il-2 sturmovik wings of prey is named after Ilyushin-2 Sturmovik, one of the primary Soviet fighters of ww2

[@foggy4687]

Dan does realise it would of been more for Winston Churchill than the queen

[@xkinsey3831]

No. It wouldn't.

[@lucianwilliams6838]

Chocks hold the aircraft on the aircraft carrier so the aircraft doesn't roll away. I think they use these at airfields too to keep wind from blowing the landed aircraft away.

[@MercerTSG]

I love how the default enemy aircraft in this game doesn't come with guns.

[@bronytr]

Considering the way I play Birds Of Steel involves me always taking off and always landing,the last few minutes were both amusing and aggravating .

So do people in the UK invert their mouse as regularly as driving on the left, or is it just a "righty-lefty" sort of thing?

[@Light_Wz]

I invert my mouse but only up and down on planes and stuff because that's how planes in real life fly.

[@zforthh]

Wait people fly planes inverted??? So if I put the yoke down I will go up. Yeah that SOOO makes sense

[@Light_Wz]

Zhana Kalmagambetova well in real life if you pull down on the planes steering it goes up and if you push it up the plane goes down. I guess I just like to do it because it's more realistic.

[@HonoraryAperture]

It's the persons preference, not by the laws in that country.

[@BigGamerGeorge]

[@dexecuter18]

This is Warthunder. It started as a PC port of Birds of Steel, then evolved into Wings of Prey, which evolved into World of Planes, and then turned into Warthunder.

But what Dan doesn't know, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. That means all of the ones where he didn't turn into a giant fireball were technically landings.

[@jhonangarthor]

puts altitude on 9000,enemy spawns there,flies on 250 altitude ''I can't find the guy...''

[@djsnj20]

I believe that inverted means that pulling back aims upward, never played this game before, but played similar. So that means that it's more life-like, and is much easier for some people, such as him and me.

[@fletcherpotvin7707]

I was going to complain about Berlin being in France but Dan read my mind

[@Tier1Player]

Okay. That's for modern jets, where they're at epic speeds and they are 100 times more aerodynamic, so they have to use the bottom of their plane to increase drag. They were smaller, lighter, and much less "nimble" back then.

the best American war-plane is either the P-51 Mustang which was a fighter plane mainly used to combat the advanced air force of the japanese and suceeded in outclassing the japanese planes or the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress which is exactly what it sounds like (and interestingly enough was the influence for the AC-130 Airship only much MUCH larger as it was around the same size as a 747 jumbo jet)
