In SB yes you can WEP more than 1 min, but it will left you vurnerable with overheat engine and swarming angry spitfires on your 6. Personally I do 1 min WEP with 100% rads open then proceed at 1.15 ata to 4.5km alt in F4/trop

My favorite plane in the game (and favorite WW2 plane as well)! Such a joy to fly, I feel like it’s a perfect balance between engine power, speed, and maneuverability. Thanks to the fact that it’s lighter than the G models with only slightly worse climb, even I was able to carry a match in a deliberate uptier with 3 friends flying 109 G-10s. Also the overheating is kind of fun to manage with MEC. Lastly, the GLORIOUS GERMAN AIR BRAKE!

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Yup works well in uptiers!

[@AbsoluteyAmerican]

Its just an OP plane. Heavily biased and not true to specs. For instance. The p47 was the fastest diving prop fighter plane of ww2. That is a well known fact. Yet in this game a bf109 can out dive a p47 which is just wrong.

[@AbsoluteyAmerican]

@Bilbo Fappins Given what I have seen in game I don’t really believe that. At 24,000ft my optimum performance alt in a p47, flying at 405mph, with a bf109 .98 below me and can somehow pull up and gain on me while I maintain a straight line and yet the bf109 can catch me and shoot me down while it pulls up. Also don’t believe the dive. Start a 5-10 degree dive at 24,000ft bc I have a Ta153 or bf109 on my 6 and they usually catch me and shoot me down by 10,000ft. Energy fight means nothing in this horribly crafted game.

[@AbsoluteyAmerican]

@Bilbo Fappins Game is also trash when they have things like a J7W japanese push plane, which was experimental, never saw combat and suffered from severe vibrations and engine failure out flying f4u-4s and p51 mustangs. Its just hogwash.

12:57 Wow, you made quick work of that f4u

[@eb3yr]

I think that spitfire might've broken off to try and bait you into chasing and climbing so he can use his high alt performance, but they might've panicked seeing you close in, either that or they didn't know how to deal with a bf109 very well and tried to bait for his team instead. That's something I'll do a lot of the time against people at higher alts when they outperform me - just try to drag them down and have a teammate sideclimb above them.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Yeah but he was already closing in on me before breaking off.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

The Spitfire has a big advantage in a dogfight. Your strength as a 109 is your climb and you generally outspeed the Spitfire by a small margin as well. Use the climb to start a fight with the altitude advantage to BnZ, and as long as you don't have the alt advantage, bait the Spitfire towards higher teammates.

[@r.s.i8753]

Hey Adam, I was playing with P51Ds these days. It is truely amazing when there's team work going on. But that rarely happen.

Can you do something about it so we can learn, please?... Love your work by the way...

I also have a few vid suggestions: -Do a vid on the times u died and explain what u could've done better (so that we can improve as well) -Do a vid reviewing other people's replays and see what went wrong (inspired from Long5hot)

[@zedoktor979]

Biggest tips for the P-51 Stay over 350kmh if at all possible. Gentle turns if possible. Keep maneuvers in the vertical if you can afford to lose the speed. But your drag is significantly lower at high speeds and low angles of attack. Use MEC. Perma-wep, 100% prop, 75-100% rads. Master the diving side to side overshoot bait. Essentially you pull the higher enemy into a dive above his compression speed. You roll side to side with a bit of rudder and pull g’s to bleed speed. They will try to follow but they cannot maneuver sharp enough to bleed their speed. They will overshoot. Then you follow them up shooting all the way.

The BFs are way OP. They are not flying true to spec. They have every advantage over every plane. Take my advice just don’t fight a bf unless you have 4 other planes.

[@ferrarisuper]

the F2G is extremely easy to counter. Just turn and Climb. You'll have troubles only if they dive on you and the fight takes place at very low altitudes. Against High tier spitfire the key is to use your speed and bring the fight at your altitudes. If an LF start chasing you bring it to 6000m. You'll out climb him easily above that altitude. If you fight a Griffon when you get to the merge don't turn with them but start a gradual climb. Once you have about 2.5km distance pull up vertically using prop pitch trick to increase thrust and do a stall climb. They won't be able to follow that unless you do it above 6000m

I personally prefer the g2. It climbs a bit better and the gunpods that have actual mg 151s not the 15mm ones make it really nice. I find it hard to work with only one cannon in f4 as the 15mm gunpods are next to useless.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

The gunpods are better indeed, but the G2Trop is actually slower at low alt by a decent margin. BR is higher too.

[@He_in_fact_did_not_have_Rizz]

I remember getting up to 4 kills with this thing every round best thing ever still is good aircraft just people are more experience

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

That's very good.

[@Relicoid]

Idk if it’s just less experienced players at this br but this plane feels disgustingly strong

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

There's some of that yeah.

[@ScaleMilitaryModels]

Do you have 2 buttons bound to the guns, one for mgs, one for cannons? I’ve found that very useful

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

I have 1 for MG only, I don't have one for CNN only.

[@PlaneNerd91]

What is the program/feature you are using to display all that extra info on the left side of your screen

[@dariusjacobi4573]

Your gameplays are just impressive..

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Thanks!

GG fighters ! Personnellement je préfère le G2/trop (j'ai pas le G2 premium ^^). Il me semble que le G2/trop a de meilleurs performances à haute altitude (ou du moins une vitesse max plus élevée) mais il est plus lourd donc a de moins bonnes perf' de manière générale. Mais honnêtement, si préfère le G2/trop c'est surtout parce que c'est avec lui que j'ai commencé à maîtriser le gameplay en RB Avion (en 2014 donc) et surtout à apprendre à utiliser la caméra pour regarder autour de moi tout en utilisant les commandes de profondeur et le roulis :D C'est d'ailleurs avec cet avion que j'ai eu mon premier ace contre 3 P-47M et quelques Typhoons (à l'époque il y avait moins d'avions donc beaucoup de joueurs avaient les mêmes modèles, ça faisait un peu plus réaliste). Mes adversaires avaient fait beaucoup d'erreurs mais j'étais assez fier de mon ace car que j'avais du mal à regarder autour de moi tout en combattant ^^

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

G2/Trop est en effet un peu plus rapide et a un meilleur taux de monté que le F4, mais est plus lourd comme tu dis.

[@Bennyy85]

I love this aircraft

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

It's a fun Bf109.

[@shrekrecker]

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

[@appa609]

Hey that BV was helping

[@samhuson2722]

Adam please do a J2M5 (30mm ) game. I'm your big fan from the beginning.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

It's on my list!

[@gliderfs621]

Why didn’t you used the gun pods ? They provide very significant firepower and ammo capacity increase

[@aether3697]

13:50 unfortunate for him, the beast inside him can't shoot you back

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Haha yeah.

[@AnshulJoshi-of4bb]

hey adam love your videos, my friend just started playing war thunder, is there any advice you can give for new aviation players?

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Watch videos, keep an open mind and try new things to evaluate what works and what doesn't.

[@AnshulJoshi-of4bb]
