I don't play WT and I don't plan to do so, but I love your videos! By the way if some smart a.. come and say it is not the two six two it is the two sixty two, just answer him, then you need to be correct as it is the two hundred sixty two. 😂😂

[@Redbaron1006-warthunder]

Hi OddbawZ, could you please do the TAM and the Alouette Combo at 8.7? I think this combo has the potential to be a match winner in itself at 8.7

[@LugborG]

That would be hilarious. Probably the first time we'd get to see both sides of the same kill.

[@battleship6177]

​@elijahmontgomery4146 what?

[@shadowOrgon]

this plane made me have so much fun with the gepard when it came out. always took it out as first spawn, there was always a M18 or M22 that would rush a cap then J out and spawn one of these. Was so satisfying to immediately shoot them out of the sky as they entered the battlefield. and I could be wrong, but I think the 'radar' spaa at the time had that early version where it was just giving the player a lead indicator like in arcade. but maybe that was long after the FJ came out, been too long.

[@machinech183]

Agreed! I never had so much fun weaving around at range while guiding a bullpup onto AA foreheads. Good fun on both sides to be had.

[@HowIsAsh]

That was after the VMF was out for half a year. Radar SPAA followed after supersonic jets in late 2018

[@Grunti42]

You forgot you could fire the bullpups on the airfield and follow it in with the tracking camera Edit: huge change since the release is the flying tail

[@CFNightmare]

You could fire these missiles as TV guided munitions from the airfield on some maps when it got released. Those where hard times for tankers

[@biasedsherman]

Remember when HVAR rockets were guaranteed one-hit kills

[@CFNightmare]

@@biasedsherman You're completely right. You didn't even have to aim. Thankfully I started playing WT until a few months after they got nerfed

[@Alex21610]

Remember when you could use the tracking camera with bullpups like you can currently do with bombs and rockets, so you could simply fire them from the runway and use the tracking camera to find and hit people. Especially on smaller maps.

[@rohartmartin8329]

The first ever game where I met that thing was actually a few months ago, and it was rightfully upsetting... 7.7 game as germany, playing with friends, having a good time, match was bad but we didn't cared the slightest, until THIS THING... arrived... A guy just went to capture 2 points, killed one with his lighttank and then spawned that thing... Uhm... 14 kills and he got a nuke with it... I was disgusted beyond belief, there was nothing we could do at all and it really felt unfair.

[@jr900man]

The feels when it happens is amazing

[@cullenkelley4828]

I never liked the addition of nukes I'd rather just spawn trap and ticket bleed via objectives it just feels right.

[@bradenhagen7977]

And he did that with the severely less dangerous version. Airfield launches were something else.

[@horuslupercal3872]

Bro what I remember was being 10k out from the battlefield firing an agm12 and switching to weapon follow camera and using it like it was tv guided, heck even did this in air RB to snipe players landing on their airfield 😅

[@thomaskositzki9424]

[@lionofitaly9990]

I remember when it came out people would sit on the airfield and fire the AGM and it had a camera so you could sit on the runway and guide it to the battle and nail someone with it

[@Jagabot_Esq.]

The voice for 262 vs 2 62 is spot on. lol

[@corrodan2995]

This only thing about this aircraft that always annoyed me in particular was how the guidance of the missiles was so accurate. They were imprecise realistically. On average it was good to hit within 10m of the aimed at target, and you couldnt maneuver the aircraft much after firing or youd lose line of sight. But there isnt a good way to implement the poor performance and constraints of these missiles without completly making them pointless.

[@micaheiber1419]

These constraints more or less exist in sim where it's a lot harder to do everything! *RB is really the arcade mode, and arcade is the party mode (complete with party game rewards...)

[@cplspartan]

When this aircraft came out, I started to like air! I rode it till I broke i! I was the Nightmare in GRB, max range of 5KM? I would launch at 5KM and get kills. Forever my favorite!

[@TomPrickVixen]

Well; Germany had the G.91 R/4 with 4 nords; before the AGM got nerfed and needed a direct hit. Today the A-4s (8.7-9.3) can carry a decent amount of early Bullpups the SeaVixen, Buccaneer and the Scimitar too (also 8.7).

[@aerina_eclair]

You used to be able to nuke enemies with the nords just by splashing besides any tank until gayjin nerfed it

[@m-zn2io]

When they gavethe g91 r4 4 nords instead of 2 i immediatelly bought it andground the whole german airtree, this was when the radkamfwagen was 9.0 and you could do airtasks in ground by finishing the matxh in a plane. I abised nords so much

[@stevegoesrogue]

Odd is just lethal when it comes to keyboard guided AGM's, landing them straight onto his target with pinpoint accuracy. I must say I have never heard anyone refer to a 262 as a "two sixty-two," even as an American, I've always referred to it as a "two-six-two"

[@LugborG]

Excellent intro. That flyby was perfect. Edit: I think you should talk Defyn into doing a couple videos where he teaches you to dogfight properly. Call it a boot camp or something.

[@seadragonyt5391]

27:15 Speaking of, a few days ago I was flying in with my Seafire and got smacked by an enemies artillery marking shell. I was about 1,000m up as well. I was shocked. 😂

[@N4CR]

Happened to me 2x in around 3k hours lol

[@Novous]

I got a plane with arty once and went to replay and recorded it and then assumed everyone else did it all the time so I never even thought to post it anywhere.

[@fiestaracing7588]

M60a1 rise is one of my favorite tanks. I don't have the event vehicle but the teck tree one does get some ok bombs too. A-4e with its guided bombs and countermesaures was king at that BR before it was moved up a few months back.

[@peaaanuuutz]

You forgot to mention that the bullpups are like predator missiles back then. You can control them while using the tracking camera for missiles making this, essentially, the first camera guided missile in the game lol you can accurately hit any target from 10km away. This shit was crazy broken back then.

[@lordwintertown8284]

G'day Oddz, I recently took this into air battles & it preformed quite well but its place was always in GF. While I'm not overly fond of playing GF as much as NF or AF, There imo two vehicles that at 8.7 do pose a threat to CAS/CAP aircraft. 1, PGZ07 iirc it has the AHEAD ammunition & is still at 8.7 BR. 2, Shturm-S, the bootleg SAM armed with a proxi fuze missile. Anywho, while it might not be an AGM, the English Electric Canberra B Mk.2 is getting a slight buff next update with the ability to carry two Blockbuster bombs, This might become a bit of fearsome bomber next update as those cookies on a fast platform was always imo scary but it having two now, just sounds epicly evil. (not a suggestion but just a thought on a future video type many cas CC's might try out).

[@worgan744]

Only good thing about the render issue is That it almost.. just almost makes cas friends bearable

I'm honestly a little disappointed that they don't accurately model the SAPHE warhead on the Big Bullpup missiles. Otherwise it could be an effective bunker buster or antiship missile, but instead they give it a basic contact HE fuze.

03:34 BawZ with the instant transmission edit. I know it would be a pain in the butt to get the set up going and since its such a money sink (cause of HOTAS) but have you tried DCS?

I think in total, i killed 4 planes with arty. The last time was just a couple of months ago ( funny enough, was a 262 ), after 4 or 5 years without one! The first time it happened, when i saw in the kill feed i had killed a plane, i was really confused...i was in a tank, didn't see any plane, had to check replay...the plane, a ki-43 if not mistaken, was high, at 1 km, when the arty hit him in the wing...good times.
