WW2 GERMAN JET HAD A 50MM ANTI-TANK CANNON - Me 262 A-1/U4

The Me 262 A-1/U4 in War Thunder is a classic tank busting WW2 Jet that probably brings up a lot of trauma from old school players.
This WW2 German Jet is armed with a 50mm cannon that's autoloaded and packs a serious punch when aimed at pretty much anything. Taking a good bit of skill and practice you can take out any tank in the game. With even more determination, you can even knock out planes with it, too!
Sadly, Gaijin nerfed the ol' cannon a while ago making it a lot less accurate. Honestly, I'd like to have the old accuracy back and just hike it up in battle rating! :)

Yay new me262 A1U video Love it :D

[@chaoslink1158]

I’d still really love to see a video on the Me 410 with the 50mm at 3.0 BR. A similar version of the gun on this jet, at least as far as ammo is concerned. It’s overshadowed by the Duck but overall is a far more effective machine with two 20mm forward guns and 13mm rear guns. Default rounds are the best as it keeps the cost low to spawn and the HE is great for open tops like the M10. Can hit them anywhere and it kills them.

[@MetaReplication]

Yes! Just 3.0 Germany in general, it’s such an underrated lineup. Not only do you get to use several very good tanks that are good on different maps (allowing you to always choose something that fits the map), but also, with the 3.3 and 3.7 lineups you’d have to take the same CAS as 3.0 (Me 410 and Bf 109 F-2) to a higher BR, while 3.0 Germany lets you use them at their lowest possible BR. It’s really true that the love the duck gets over the 410 is unjustified. The 410 has deadlier weaponry, much better flight performance, and defensive armament.

[@Add12pack]

It would be fun to see you do another video on the Crusader Mk III, this time where you uptier it to maybe something like either 4.7 or 5.7, to do it you would be able to use the Spitfire Mk IX or Spitfire LF Mk IX (probably one of the best fighters in the game). It is one of my favorite vehicles in the game, just because the 6pdr it has is so effective in a flank, which is also helped by it being so low profile. And scounting to help you team. Cherry on top is the 50 smoke grenades, which is enough to make german tankers jealous.

[@hotsnow5042]

Odd......... You're the Man. Thoroughly enjoyed this vid! I am most definitely taking my 234/4 out in my next mid-tier matchup! Also, the other 6.7 event vehicle 262 is great at ground pounding as well which could be another one of those "you'll never get these vehicles again, so, watch me use em and grimace!" vids ;)

[@squidwardo7074]

You probably need to turn down your graphics settings (especially SMAA, MSAA, etc) to fix the stutter issue. It seems to happen the most when you load in new textures (like when you're flying and get close to the ground). If changing settings doesn't fix it you probably just need to replace the GPU with one that has more VRAM, not the entire pc.

[@foxboy64]

he doesnt seem to be reacting to the stutters in gameplay for the most part, if they were happening in gameplay like that it would be nearly impossible to fly. so the stuttering likely isn't realted to the games texture loading, but the recording software skipping frames. something he wouldn't notice in the moment, only on footage review. the reason why it would happen close to the ground is most likely bitrate issues. lots of trees and buildings streaking across the frame super fast, the same thing that can cause things to get really pixel-y when your bitrate is suffering. but for some reason rather than sacrificing the resolution to keep the recording at the same fps, its just dropping the frames it cant capture entirely.

[@owensks]

Its not from his gameplay he’s on a temporary pc which doesn’t seem to be great with recording

[@glassramen]

@@foxboy64 He actually mentioned in a previous video that "its also difficult to play like this" so I'm fairly certain it's the game. I also get stutters every handful of minutes in game as well, but it's only in this game. My theory is that it's not his pc that's the issue, but the game itself has something wrong with it with certain hardware. If he's using an AMD gpu then that might be the source as I'm using one as well. Not the card but the way the game interacts with the card, and only somewhat recently. I hadn't started getting stutters until late last year.

[@squidwardo7074]

@@foxboy64 its not bitrate issues, its probably because hes recording at 4k. if its a vram issue then turing down graphics or the video resolution would likely fix it. But he probably doesn't want to turn the video quality down so changing some settings is a better option. Its something to try at least

[@CanadianB.O.W]

I'll be honest here... I totally missed all these comments (and any others, if any, from his last few vids too) and just assumed this was completely on my end...didnt go buy a new graphics card mind you but still, just.. lmfao
