So, when will any of Saburo Sakai's battles get this kind of treatment? One that would be interesting is the chase a Chinese biplane gave him. Time and again Sakai got the biplane in his sights, only to see it roll away before he could pull his trigger. But finally, the Chinese pilot screwed up, possibly from fatigue. He didn't turn fast enough, leaving the bottom of his plane presented. Sakai barely touched his trigger, firing just two rounds from each of his plane's guns. All four hit the Chinese plane beneath its cockpit and it went down. Another good one to see would be Sakai's first victory. He used all his ammunition but shot down one Chinese plane. His commanding officer was so furious he just turned his back on Sakai. The order was to *never use all your ammunition* because you might get jumped by the enemy on the way back to base. A third one would be when Sakai was attacked by a squadron of inexperienced American pilots in (IIRC) Corsairs. They kept wheeling around, taking turns lining up and shooting at Sakai. Every time he'd roll away, the same way every time. All it would've taken was for one of the Americans to aim just to the side where Sakai would roll and he'd have flown right into the bullets. Eventually the Americans broke off their attack. Was it boredom? Lack of ammunition? Low on fuel? Or were they just toying with a lone Japanese Zero-Sen they'd come across, not knowing they had the chance to shoot down one of Japan's few remaining top pilots?

[@hanspeterx]

i think P39 was an underrated fighter, it has a big cannon and good maneuvarability due to center of gravity more in back back (because the engine was behind the pilot, and the propeller shaft went under the cockpit, to drive the propeller).

[@KoobLis100]

Highly doubt the p-39 had altitude warning alarms... also, first thing the Russians did when they received the 39, was removing the wing .30 cals. Other than that, not bad of a scene. Better than red tails having the a P-51 turning like they have thrust vectoring.

[@jamisonmaguire4398]

American pilots hated the P39 and gave it nicknames like the "iron dog" but from what I understand its problems came from the fact that during its acceptance trials the air force brass forced many performance destroying modifications on it. And the reason the company didn't fight back (which would have been normal) was because it was so close to bankruptcy just before the war. I suspect however that many of the fighters the Soviets used were sub par but in an existential war like the eastern front you do the best you can with what you've got.

[@EllDub]

And another factor is the Russians didn't fight at high altitude, the P39 was an excellent performing aircraft at low altitude

[@andrewcarlson3486]

🇷🇺: Shut up and take my rubles

[@walterswarhistoryarchive]

The P-39 was not a bad aircraft by any means, it was utilized improperly early in the Pacific Theater. The P-63 was quite a monster and had one of the fastest climb rates of all piston fighters during WW2. The Russians utilized both with great success.

[@Zetler]

@@walterswarhistoryarchive The P39 was a piece of shit. All the Japanese had to do is fly above it at 15,000 feet and wait for it to run out of fuel then dive down and blow it away. Unlike the Russians, the Americans did not fight the Germans outside their front door and can't shake off 109s by flying under bridges. Instead, they were intercepting Japanese bomber formations at high altitudes over an ocean filled with hungry sharks or mosquitos infested jungles. So considering the P39 lack of a super charger and a gas tank a size of a coffee cup, every time an American pilot jumps into a P39 his time and life was wasted.

[@Lane8492]

Some of the best Soviet aces in the P-39 Airacobra were Alexander Ivanovich Pokryshkin, Grigoriy Andreevich Rechkalov, Nikolai Dmitriivich Gulayev, and even Alexander Fyodorovich Klubov.

[@Lane8492]

The P-39 Airacobra wasn't very popular with the United States during WWII so the United States gave 5000 to 6000 P-39 Airacobras to the Soviet Union.

[@MaxGogleMogle]

The popularity of P-39 among Soviet pilots was somewhat unexpected for US leaders. However, after the Soviet Union began to purposefully demand continued deliveries of P-39 in ever-increasing quantities, the production of more and more new models of this fighter began specifically for the needs of the Eastern Front.

[@michaelforsythe4335]

Great special effects. The thought of a P39 dogfighting a 190 and not getting slaughtered is pure sci-fi but there you are. When the 190 appeared over the Channel the RAF considered grounding their Spit Mk V's because they were so outclassed.

[@ZackSavage]

I mean it did and came out on top quite often. Up high fw190 almost always wins, but that's not where the fighting was taking place. At lower altitudes the p39 has better turn, speed, climb, and energy retention.

[@michaelforsythe4335]

@@ZackSavage At high altitudes the FW 190's performance also tailed off. It's why BF109's were specifically employed for high-altitudes in an attempt to take on Allied fighter escorts while the 190's went straight for the bombers. At lower altitudes few planes in the west could out-turn it until '43. The fact that the P-39 could turn with it at lower altitudes is amazing to me (I had to look it up). I had no idea !

[@ZackSavage]

@@michaelforsythe4335 The 39 was unpopular with the Americans because of the altitude and fuel issues. those are massive factors over the ocean. the Russians didnt have those concerns, so the strengths of the 39 really came through for them.

[@shaggygabe728]

Uhh.. what? This scene clearly shows the P39 superiour low altitude handling. There's a reason why the P39 was so liked by Soviet pilots and why they were using it even in 1945. Also, you can litteraly see P39's getting shot down in this scene, so what are you on about? Also, many soviet aircraft could easily outturn the Fw 190. Every single Yak fighter had a better turning rate. Fw 190 A-8 (1944) - Turning rate of 24.2 s at sea level Yak-9 (1944) - Turning rate of 17.5 s at sea level P39-N0 (Aircraft shown in the video) - Turning rate of 18 s at sea level Both the Yak and the P39 can easily outturn the 190, as could be seen in this scene. Fw 190 A-8 max speed: 653 km/h Yak-9 max speed: 698 km/h P39-N0 max speed: 641 km/h The 190 was faster than the P39, but the Yak-9 is faster than the 190. As you saw in the scene, the 190 went faster than the P39. The P39 and 190 still had similair speeds however and the superiour turning performance of the 39 meant it still had an edge in dogfights. Armament: P39-N0 - 1x 37mm cannon in the nose, 2x 50. cal machine guns in the nose + 4x 30. cal machine guns in the wings (Soviet pilots would often remove these) Yak-9 - Every variant had big differences in armament (with some having 3x 20mm or a 37mm gun along with a 50. cal). We'll go with the basic armament of 1x 23mm cannon and 2x 12.7mm machine guns which was mainly used in earlier Yak-9 variants. Fw-190 A-8 - 4x 20mm cannons and 2x 13mm machine guns. While the Fw 190 wins in this category, the additional armament meant worse flight performance. You can't use your guns if you can't get on the enemies six. Still, it's armament is quite devastating. The P39 could definitely stand up against the Focke Wulf 190, with similair top speed and a better turning performance the P39 had a huge edge in dogfights.

[@robbybee70]

I'd like too see it if it ever has an English dubbed release but why put the P39 in and not show it using the 37mm?

[@zachboyd4749]

Because the 37 had very few shots compared to the 50s and 30s and was better used against bigger targets like bombers or ground targets. Frankly using the 37 on a fighter is not only overkill if it hits, but the shots could also be more difficult to hit due to the cannon’s slow rate of fire and limited ammunition, especially against a fast and nimble target. Better to use the much faster firing MGs that have way more ammo against fast, maneuvering fighters and reserve the cannon for when it’s actually needed.

Показан с некоторыми художествеными "украшательствами" бой звена с двумя Аэрокобрами в своём составе. Другие машины - советские истребители собственного производства. Теперь всё то же самое без радиосвязи и вертикальной маневрености Аэрокобры ? Поэтому быстрый перехват верхнего горизонта над тремя километрами был желателен и обязателен. Немцы, видя потери боестолкновения, быстро уходили вверх и атаковали практически беспригрышно из под Солнца. Этажерка учитывала этот приём двумя верхними горизонтами собственного построения. Так же Мессершмитты воевали даже с Мустангами, даже в конце войны. Но, из-за способности двигателей Мустангов не терять небходимую тягу даже при потере высоты и скорости, Мустанги "прижимались" к земле и "медленно" делали горизонтальные виражи на низкой высоте, что крайне затрудняло борьбу с ними. Этого не позволял делать с собой Гром P-47, из-за другой инженерии, сверхмощного вооружения и применения, столь низкую потерю высоты он бы не выдержал. Поэтому они действовали ниже Мустангов группами, которые их прикрывали непосредственно с верхних горизонтов, занимаясь штурмовкой и встречая потерявшего высоту или снизившегося пртотивника. P-47 и сам мог быть сверхманевренным средневысотным и высотным истребителем, просто в таких построениях важнее были его функции как штурмовика в группах с бомбардировщиками. Не стиль Этажерки, но принцип построения аналогичный.

Based on what we’ve heard from American pilots at the outset of World War 2, one would think the P-39 is a complete deathtrap. The P-39 N and Q’s were actually on par with or better than 109’s and 190’s at low altitudes. The Russians removed the wing guns and some of the radio equipment to improve their performance. The P-39 also earned the distinction of having the highest kill count of all American allied fighters in World War 2.

@@walterswarhistoryarchive Looks like they'd be hard to bail out of, with the car style doors that hinge forwards and only one door having an inside latch handle. IIRC the car style doors had something to do with Nash building the cockpit sections.

[@martijn9568]

The moment Allison (The P-39's engine manufacturer) sent out a note explaining that they could run the engines at around 60" of manifold pressure for the same fuel really changed all that. The Airacobra went from 1200 hp to 1600 hp with just that change.

Soviet aces , Mostly Flew Airacrobras. History Education is essential.

[@tomryannova]

@@issacfoster1113 Some of those aces had some extremely high kill rates. Highest in any American made plane.

[@TheRandyWanker]

If I remember correctly Soviet WW2 fighter pilot, an Ace, Pokryshkin was flying a P-39 air cobra. I think he was 2nd highest ace in the Soviet Union.

[@rankoorovic7904]

There were 29 soviet pilots that had 15 or more victories that flew the Cobra

[@davy1458]

id rather enter a dog fight in a p47 with a cylinder shot out and a shot up rudder than enter a dog fight in a brand new p39

[@tomryannova]

Russians didn't really have that choice. They certainly made the best of what they were given.

[@MiG-31893]

P-39 is actually more maneuverable than P-47 plus it has a 37mm cannon

[@davy1458]

@@MiG-31893 I'd still rather fly the p47. I prefer the rugged design and survivability ...better dive rate and higher altitude performance as well as the 8 .50's over the canon and the p39

[@MiG-31893]

@@davy1458 yes but just being survivable isn’t everything, I mean who are you fighting? Zeros and FW190s? They have 20mm that would shred the p-47. I would prefer to destroy what I hit in one shot and be maneuverable to evade shots. P-47 was also primarily ground attack remember

[@davy1458]

@@MiG-31893 yeah they say that but the p47 bore the brunt of the war in Eastern Europe until higher numbers of p51s made it to the European theater and there are plenty of p47 pilots from ww2 who say they wouldn't have wanted to fly any other plane....I think it just comes down to personal preferences and the talent and skills of a particular pilot. I think it comes down to being more about the pilot than the plane.
