The P-51 Cannon Mustang Is Still Iconic

[@duncanmcgee13]

In the recent update it got moved from rank 2 to rank 3 with no BR change. Now the only difference between it and the UK version is premium rewards.

[@Lenevor]

And performance (but its like the performance difference between the D series, its very minimal)

[@Sonoran.Monsoon]

That was long overdue. Best part of update.

[@thesaltyhotdog3761]

Meanwhile the P-51C gets moved down to tier 2 for some reason...

[@splabooshkey3343]

Just a shame the summer and winter events aren't challenge events anymore - back when the CannonStang was rank 3 originally it was my go-to for the air kill tasks in GRB

[@rainsilent]

@@Lenevor There are big performance differences between the different D series P-51s.

[@chrisgibb3060]

It's wild how the commentary is not only entertaining but genuinely educational at the same time. I'm glad to see the cannon stang back

[@GhostJedi08]

As someone who struggled with aim early on, this plane was a god send. You don’t have to land 200 rounds of 50 cal to get a kill. It was huge for a moral booster if your still learning the game.

[@NABARUNVKASHYAP]

So true

[@Andy_M.S.c]

You're*

[@andrewsheek]

Same! When I entered sim mode this plane taught me to shoot.

[@dabbyduck517]

Recently unlocked this bad lad, it is indeed a godsend for those of us aim challenged

[@sirius_solaris]

The cannon-stang was the first plane i played ARB with and the first plane i learnt how to energy trap someone... i still remember that moment, it was a twin prop heavy fighter can't remember the model but it was pulling up for me, i had recently boomed and now i was zooming. Spiralled above the guy as he tried to follow only to stall himself out and i cranked out a 180, got 45 degrees onto him and shot him from 900m out.

[@user-dx5lo7wp8u]

The Hispano cannons at this BR are actually really good, paired with good aim it's so enjoyable like this.

[@alessandromenegollo7957]

Everytime i see a p51 gameplay it bring me back to when missiles where considered dark magic and the most sophisticated weapon system was the maus with his extra cannon

[@cameronkoplin5131]

Years ago the cannon stang was amazing. Glad to see it still handles like it did.

[@xfajejznfhdj]

The Brits recognised early on that although it was awful at high altitudes, at low altitudes it was better than anything in the European theater, including the Fw 190s

[@peterparqua]

These demonstrations really help me learn the little quirks of each plane without dying a billion times

[@borismaltchev8753]

I've genuinely improved so much ever since I started watching, recently pulled off a 1v4 in a p-38 to clutch the win! Thanks for the educational and entertaining content Defyn!!

[@RyanG-ij8xq]

How long did it take you to get decent

[@franklinstone7678]

​@RyanG-ij8xq it's about hours in the game , I've been playing for a few months now and finally recently consider myself pretty good, but I play A LOT ...ITS REALLY A REALLY HARD LEARNING CURVE

[@mohamadalimoradi8460]

i liked P51D and P51H for the looks of their canopy because they are like Bubble Canopies like F16 , f22 Raptor ... and the 50cals are Known to set planes on Fire 99% of the time but they won't rip wings like cannons do but it doesn't matter , because the Brrrrst and the amount of bullet will kill the pilot or set the plane on fire and they are just Fun planes . but this one is Weird for a 50cal Guy , never seen Cannons on a plane which is Famous for it's Strong 50cals ...

[@IThisguy007]

Defyn, what I like about your videos is simple. You get straight to the point. On top of that you don't really speculate. You come with facts and show off what has been add, or taken away. Keep it up man so close to 100k!

[@pandasxd4493]

i really like the P51 Mustang, especially after they put it up to the third rank instead of the second rank

It really is a great plane in the right hands. Unfortunately, America air mains are about as smart as german ground mains.

[@Nebulous109]

The change to the damage calculation has really made these cannons more potent. I've had very fun with the beaufighters recently.

[@grahammesser100]

used to play the british version all the time back in 2012-13. Great to see hispanos returning to their former glory.

[@DBigGaming]

Not being in the jet part of the tech trees makes me appreciative when Defyn releases a prop video.

[@Kiirxas]

This was my first plane with cannons and it was a joy to fly, especially since enemies just stopped existing the moment I even blinked in their general direction

[@kingghidorah8106]

it's also a monster. Last time I took it out during fragmentary shell nerf I managed to critically damage 8 people, imagine with the current Hispano damage that 1taps enemies

[@BASTION1023]

Hey DEFYN! Ever since I first started watching you; you have helped me greatly! I was a relly average player if not below average, but after practicing and learning from your tips I can often clutch even 3v1s! Your also one of the reasons I started uploading to KZbin! I hope you have a great day and thank you for the content you make.

[@velo1c]

I just went from the p-51 to the f-84. Because the cannons were so great, it helped me get more kills for more research points and sl very fast.

[@Ferrarilover108]

This was the first Mutang i unlocked and i was honestly blown away by it's performance so now seeing it shred even more is just honestly cool to see and it's nice to see you take it out

[@cmdrTremyss]

It would be strange to unlock the latest mustangs in the tech tree first.

[@adinbrenner3384]

I’ve been watching for years and have learned so much from all of your guides and commentary. One of the most consistently awesome warthunder cc’s for sure! Thanks so much for all the amazing content!

[@mvpanda3182]

Defyn never disappoints, you get basic knowledge how to fly a specific aircraft in every video

[@zgmerz7305]

I recently got the cannonstang after finishing the Germany air tree and it is definitely one of the planes of all time

[@blanegerman5280]

I absolutely loved this plane when I first flew it. I think it was the first American plane I kept playing for fun instead of just the grind. It's so much fun!

[@Mrfunnydead]

You're videos are definitely very helpful for learning air combat in WT. Helped me become a lot better, and I've been using the FW-190 D-13 to great effect in grinding the German tree!

[@jasonhu6052]

The change from rank 2 to rank 3 for this thing is great for grinding events and battlepass

[@EvilEndz]

Best premium I ever bought, maxed out 4 crews using this one aircraft in the British tree and built up nearly 3000+ crew points in each of those for when we started ground forces.

[@appel1809]

I never had much luck with any of the P-51's. Probably a skill issue as I prefer Spitfires. Speaking of Spitfires, Defyn I would love to see how you fly the MK24 vs the jets at that tier. I always have a bit of issue with it since everyone just runs away from me if they don't have the advantage.

I was just using this plane recently, didn't realise it was this powerful. Keep up the good work!

No realshatter of the 20mms makes that plane a beast.

[@m-51sherman]

These canons deconstructing planes is very therapeutic

[@fezfezfez1010]

At 4:07 is probably the biggest example of why you are so good at the game. I'm pretty good at reading a match and deciding what to do to win, but in this case I probably would have gone to help my teammate and try to get the 2/3 kills on the group, and then hope to survive against the Spitfire somehow. But you made the right call to win the match by leaving your teammate and instead focus on the highest energy enemy before engaging the rest.

[@telfisaki3817]

Thx for your content, my skills at Air RB definitly went up since i started watchind your videos.

[@Trigg3rHippie]

It's always good for your morale when you're featured in a DEFYN's video throwing the match by planting yourself into the ground. Glorious.

[@thatonepguy]

Haven't done good with most planes, but once i started watching your videos, my experience and my motivation to grind them increased drastically. Much love from an almost 1k hour player, your videos make me learn so much, hopefully you hit that 100k sub mark much sooner!

[@Bergebis]

I'd be interested to know if you have any suggestions on how to balance out air in Ground RB. I think there's a pretty big portion of the playerbase that prefers air combat in ground RB, but that either pulls players out of the ground, or turns them into CAS - killing even more ground.

[@joshuadunham7235]

Is there a major difference between 600M and 500M of convergence? I haven't noticed too much myself but I am also not the best at War Thunder so your advice would be appreciated.

[@jimmyleber6846]

Found this channel about a month ago, really like the content. Keep it up!

[@YeEpIkAiYeI]

The main problem with the tickets, it's because Gaijin wants "fast and flashy gameplay" because that what people that spend money want (at least the majority) This game is no longer "Enjoy fighting and driving/piloting iconic WW2 vehicles". Just remember the trailers "Victory is our", "The battle is on" and "Heroes". And compare them to what we get now. WT no longer kinda honors the people that gave their lives in WW2 but rather spit on their graves.

[@DetectiveJake81]

I remember when I was new to the game and I was starting the USA tree and found the cannonstang, to this day I still enjoy playing it. I always recommend it to anyone learning to play the game since it teaches them that turnfighters aren't always the best.

[@mrincogno7978]

This was the first aircraft that really solidified my love for the American line. So much fun!

[@Clueless-fella]

I’ve heard a lot of good things about this plane , maybe I’ll try it out once I finish my researching of other planes , also Defyn thx for the guides and humour u have created in your videos .

[@monkeyism06]

P38E is also fun as it slaps planes out of the sky and I find it best performing at high altitude as it is an interceptor that literally just controls the top of the battle. Also it has the strongest flaps I have ever seen at its br. Highly recommend u revisit this hidden gem and this will probably help most people who don't know how play this plane properly.
