Using That SPEED! | P-51D-30 Mustang | War Thunder Air RB

In today’s video I am flying out the P-51D-30 Mustang, which sits at 5.0 BR.
This plane is very fast, and you have to abuse this plane’s top speed.
Be warned, this plane is pretty boring to fly and also easy to make mistakes in. It requires a lot of patience and discipline, as most of your game is going to be spent sideclimbing and extending away, but as long as you don’t make any mistakes And ur team doesn’t collapse smh this plane is nearly invulnerable!
Hope you guys enjoy :)

When someone actually passionate about Air RB and WW2 air combat uploads a review! Hasn't happened in years.

[@Icaruss.X]

Went from 0-1 kill games to 5 kill games, take notes kids, this man is a god!

[@nutsnerserk]

that montage was awesome lmao, the gameplay shows the capabilities of the mustang really well too, great video

[@NHDbrouf117]

Not even 4 minutes in and I'm already learning, I heard of the Meredith effect before but I didn't know its name, thank you :)

[@MVMborzoi]

That rudder was the reason why I use F-82 and P-47. It feels like rudder denies to kill enemies

[@lance-b1i]

The p51s rudder holds its back so much it's not even fun to use p47 is still the U.S prop goat

[@ijabbs143]

The f4u-4 had stabilizer that gave the plan a power steering effect and prevented the lock ups of decompression. The F4u-4 was 4 or 5 mph faster than the P51d. The P51H was the fastest but did not get to Europe to see much action. F4U was much better in turns than Pony if you knew how to work the flaps which had 4 levels of flap,.

gotta love american 50cals ripping planes apart mean while 151s can barely rip a wing off a zero

[@MacWithGun]

Mg151s do some insane damage actually, but their initial speed and velocity drop off make them hard to aim. I actually prefer the single 151 on 109s over the armament on the mustang 🤷‍♂️

[@sebastianromero113]

@@MacWithGun where can I find guns velocitys? I have seen in some old videos that Gaijin was providing this info in the past, but not anymore.

[@MacWithGun]

@@sebastianromero113 go to hangar, click on armor, then protection analysis. You can select any plane with any gun, and the types of bullets and shells they use. There you can find the initial velocities of each bullet or shell, and the damage they do to aircraft. Keep in mind that the velocities you are reading are INITIAL velocities, and don’t account for the speed drop off. For example, most 50cals and 20mm hispanos have low velocity drop off, whereas mg151s have very sharp drop off.

You are just bad at aiming.

[@hav3nWT]

How to do well as a US player in a P-51 - "#1 have friends" helps soooooo much. Solo is so hard and frustrating.

[@MacWithGun]

Yeah 80% of the matches the USA teams will collapse within minutes, and when you don’t have a teammate, carrying in an American plane like the Mustang is very rough. Most of my deaths in American planes are from getting swarmed after my team collapses, but it is what it is 🤷‍♂️

[@elijahmontgomery4146]

I know the P51 is generally the better plane, but I prefer the P47 100%. The P51’s rudder is my bane when I’ve tried playing it, and I feel like I have a lot easier actually killing people with the P47 because it’s easier to get those 8 .50 cals on target.

[@Siddich]

somehow i love the P-51s. i can decide, when an engagement takes place and have some advantage against almost every enemy there can be.

[@Crusader-tu9gb]

6:45 I'll try spinning, that's a good trick!

Capoeira won't work in dogfights ☝️🤓

[@TheTISEOMan]

Can you give me some tangible aspects the P-51D has over the P-47D? I notice that whenever I fly the P-47 I can do most of what the P-51D does but usually better with few exceptions. Linear energy retention and unlimited WEP being the main differences, but I find that the P-47 can energy fight excessively well and reaching 5km or so in altitude makes you one of the most dangerous aircraft where even if you get into a tango with a Bf-109, you can beat them with your insane flaps. As far as I know, the P-51 seems to be much more limited in scope as I feel as if the P-47 can more easily adapt compared to the P-51D. Similar in matches where I face export variant P-51's especially at altitude, I straight up crush them, even when we're merging at relatively equal energy states.

[@daelendixon]

hi i was wondering if you can make a video and fly out the fw190f8 I recently got the plane and have been constantly dying

[@MacWithGun]

I’ll play the f8 some time in the future :)

[@Siddich]

i love the info about the mec settings. thanks!

[@cflanders9]

I struggle with the first merge. If I can get past the first group I can pick off a few kills, but if I get targeted first I can’t get away.

[@MacWithGun]

If there is a group of enemies in front of you that will be able to catch you after the merge, then just turn away and climb to the side until you have an opening. The D30 needs an altitude and speed advantage to fight properly. Being patient to merge/engage is a must :)

[@MZIH]

Playing any us plane with a cooperating teammate has got to be one of best times in wt I also want to request the p-40e Warhawk

[@TheDorac1]

Great intro!

[@fahmihabib7936]

It's time for a WT comeback after watching your videos 🎉

[@中和-v9c]

sir,can you show us how to fly la-11...

[@Steve-s4b]

I will try some of these tricks. This is one of the several planes I'm absolutely *DOGSHIT* with. I can seriously kick ass with the P400 though for reasons unknown to me. It's objectively not the greatest airframe.

[@eisenhammertech5248]

Do a video on the Bf-109 Z.

[@corvo6138]

Having to play with US teams is probably the biggest con of this machine. I have been playing the p47-d28, and I really love it, but having 3/4 of my team dying in the first minute of the game is just so frustrating. It's the most skill issue nation in the game rn imo. I don't want to try to carry every game, and even if I win, I find it just tiring.

[@shouldercem7195]

I dont like p 51 d 30 in war thunder because Gaijin trying nerf this plane, putting 30 minute fuel extra 10 minute fuel making you heavier for no reason.

[@keunminkenlee1940]

For the love of god i cant make p51 nor p47 to work

[@evryordnryprsn]

You always know you have more speed than your enemy. How do you know that?

[@MacWithGun]

@@evryordnryprsn A lot of it is experience, but you can also judge the difference in energy by ‘guesstimating’ how fast the enemy is. for example, if an enemy is on my 6 and I am going 400kph, and I am slowly getting away from him, than I am 100% going faster than him by a bit. If an enemy is below me by 1000m but slightly catching me while I’m going 300kph, then he is only faster for the time being, because in props, everything loses speed in a climb. As he tries to climb up to catch me he loses speed, trading it off for a gain in altitude. Realistically, I have more energy because I can convert my altitude advantage into speed (by slightly diving) while he has to force his plane to produce energy by climbing.

[@evryordnryprsn]

[@mauriciodaviladuarte1366]

what skin that?

[@cal7154]

Copyrighted music won’t allow the algorithm to pick you up…. Just a tip

[@ninpgmer8959]

How do you use landing flaps directly, without having to lower landing gear ?

[@MacWithGun]

I have a keybind to toggle flaps, but I also have separate keybinds to lower and raise flaps, so if I press the ‘lower flaps’ key 3 times I can go instantly to landing flaps without deploying gear. I can also use takeoff flaps.

[@ninpgmer8959]

@@MacWithGun It works! 10 years of playing this game I didn't know that, thank you so much.
