SPEED COMPARISON 3D: WW2 Aircraft 🪖

The Twelfth Speed Comparison Series: Fastest Aircraft of WW2
Welcome to the twelfth animation of Speed Comparison series! This time, we dive into the incredible world of World War II aviation, showcasing the fastest aircraft of the era across four thrilling episodes: TOP SPEED, FLYBY, POV, and SIZE.
In these episodes, we feature over 25 legendary WWII aircraft, racing to demonstrate their top speeds. Each episode brings a unique perspective.
Our animations are meticulously crafted using ZBrush for detailed modeling for some models, Substance Painter for texturing, Cinema 4D, and Unreal Engine 5 for rendering.

No P-38 Lightning, Mosquito, or B-29..?

[@ravjiboyShorts]

Or Fw 190, Ta 152, ANY BRITISH BOMBER APART FROM LANCASTER (Wellington, Halifax, etc.), any American bomber apart from the B-17 (B-24 as a heavy bomber, or B-25 and B-26 as medium bombers), no Do 335, no Gloster Meteor, no italian fighters like the Fiat G.55 Centauro or Macchi Mc 202 Folgore, no Soviet planes apart from the Yak-3 (like Il-2 Sturmovick or Il-4), LITERALLY SO MANY THINGS WERE MISSING AHHHHHH!!!

[@tidepoolclipper8657]

Or even Ki-84 and N1K2-Ja

[@Captain_Deadstick]

Why was the P-51 chrome? Also the bell jet but literally half of the German planes and almost all British planes are missing. What about the P-38, Mosquito, Fw-190. I also argue the 163 doesn't count because it's not sustained speed it's a glider after the rocket burns out. If you count the 163 than you need to count the V2.

[@czoom51]

You make the 3D models and give them to their team. You're literally asking them to add dozens of hours to production.

[@ramosgonzales2691]

​@@Captain_Deadstick The p51 was chrome because when they were making it, the skies were already controlled, so they didnt need to paint their planes, samw with late bombers, like b29. Btw, me 163 its rocket fuelled, but still a fighter jet... So, modern fighter jets are orbital space crafts or fighter jets...?

[@larrybremer4930]

@@mutingp F4u is so underrated. Usually naval aircraft underperform compared to their land based counterparts due to the demands of carrier operations and other considerations for operations in a marine environment but the Corsair was truly one of very few aircraft that was as good as the best land based aircraft. Keep in mind in US service the F4u was the last WWII fighter aircraft to be withdrawn from service in 1953 and globally you see the Corsair and Mustang both serving into the 1980s in some countries.

[@zsoltpapp3363]

Nice comparison, however, its important to note that none of these planes could reach those speeds at sea level these vmax speeds were measured at high altitude in thin air. Also many of these planes had variations over the years with very different performance. Cruise speeds would also be interesting, because as far as i know the B-17s generally flow at 300-350 km/h in formations (instead of the theoretical vmax)

If you see in the Post Edwardian standards, the Germans were generations ahead when it came engineering marvels.

[@dillonhunt1720]

There's one naughty windmill near the end of the lineup. Most of the German planes in this have it removed. Besides this is presented entirely for historical and educational purposes. If people can get upset by that then they'll need to censor every piece of WW2 footage containing a German plane on the site because almost all of them had one.

Is this top speed or normal cruise speed or taking into account weight? Because I looked up the B17 and its normal speed is 300kmph and its top speed is around 400kmph? It seems odd that a 4 engine heavy bomber with all that drag and carrying all those heavy bombs/equipment could reach 500kmph, faster than some way more agile aircraft from the same time period...

[@5co756]

There is always a max altitude , were the planes reach their max speed . This big bombers got their max speed pretty high up , lower they got too much drag .

That was a MK. 1 Spitfire right... Not one of the later much faster MK18+ with a Griffin engine... Is it a equal playing field... Are they all MK 1 planes, if not, some readjusting is necessary... Good work though ❤

The most annoying part of this video is that he didnt even include the variants. A 109B model is going to be slow as shit while a 109G is going to be almost twice as fast...And same thing with the Spitfires (Mk1 vs Griffin-powered Mk 14)

And only in 1944 America decided that it's time to take part in the final stage of war in EUROPE when soviets where crushing nazis on their way to Berlin. Author is just a biased clown.
