War Thunder - Catch Me If You Can

[@sprog1751]

Jingles, I just discovered your KZbin site the other day. I just watched almost all of your World of Ships episodes. GREAT STUFF!!!!! I just subscribed!!! Thank you for the amazing content and the historical backgrounds on the ships was impeccable!!!! All the best from the Wild West, Sprog1 in AZ.

[@The_MightyJingles]

+Sprog1 And thank YOU for subscribing! ;)

[@lllluc2000]

+Sprog1 Welcome to the gnome world Sprog :) I hope you like it here there is much stuff to see like the lol compelations and hours hours of jingles talking about things and maby if you are lucky (or watch the first migles with jingles vids) he ansers questions from other subs and his life, or do you like some museum visits and more. The majorty of people work at the salt mines becouse we have to serve the mighty jingles, but maby the new guys get more free time. I hope you will like it here :) bye.

[@weandyrfc7]

+Sprog1 Oh hey Sprog! Remember me?

[@redinfernaldragon4637]

+Sprog1 Lol Jingles is like "Ah ha another salt mine worker!"

[@PercyTheRogue]

+Sprog1 Whalecum m8 :)

[@mohammedahmed-ue3eb]

This channel is very great because he merges historic background with great gameplay, And so his videos are both educational and fun.

[@KillaK0w]

Jingles, you kinda messed up the guy's name. - Hans - is just his clan or whatever, his name is Heartbreak One, which is an Ace Combat reference. Not a big deal of course, but if this guy's got that as his handle, he's as big of an Ace Combat fan as I am, and I'd wager he'd be a tiny bit peeved that you were calling him by his clan tag and not his name.

[@bim-rayyau2925]

+KillaK0w If only people knew more about the unsung franchise...Ace Combat is a true gem among arcade/flight games that many gamers still haven't discovered. @TheRazgrizBlaze I was about to mention that too!

[@jaguar123987x]

+KillaK0w He always does that, like he says it's his channel and he can say what ever the fuck he wants and you can always correct him and end up in salt mines!

[@purplexenno]

+KillaK0w Um...it's Jingles, this is what he does. It makes the videos and channel a lot more fun.

[@melnibone1]

+KillaK0w add actually right at the start of your sentence and its going to be perfect

[@burnerheinz]

[@procrastinator7408]

Somebody had a good game? The vehicle must be OP then.

[@decdeclanlan]

Gaijin - We will add 300 to battle rating to balance aircraft. Oh, wait it's Russian lets just give it 1 battle rating, that'll fix the problem.

[@TheDesertFox1940]

+TheDec159 Don't forget we will also upgrade every aspect of the plane to make it more balanced at its battle rating

[@decdeclanlan]

Lucas Funwall 4x 152mm rapid fire guns front and back then!

[@Mr556x45mm]

+Procrastinator7 What is of this crap, Dmitri? Capatalist Amerikan and British player are of betters than me? Net! I will not have of this! I will kry on Forum until developer makes me of happy again.

[@lazarj]

il28 isn't OP at all. These players on the enemy team are complete retards. It's actually really easy to kill an il 28.

[@wenyntrout]

It's time for *Let's Make Fun Of Jingles' Mistakes In His Commentary Even Though He's Only Human!* On this week's episode, Jingles delivers a perfectly well-thought out sentence while talking about the de Havilland Vampire! "The Vampire was _the first single engined fighter aircraft_ to be used by the Royal Air Force..." Oh, Jingeru! **cheesy sitcom laughter**

[@nostradamusofgames5508]

ACTUALLY Jingles--- you know what? never mind

[@Macer23able]

+patrick Katalenas Oh, whoops... *Lowers shotgun*

[@nostradamusofgames5508]

[@Blox117]

+Sam Littlefield what man shoots a gun without ammo.

[@Sam-im5tc]

dont worry it was loaded

[@Retrofire-47]

I just wanted to say Jingles I love these stories you tell. Without a doubt my favorite part of your videos now.

[@AvarllanTelesto]

Main problem......... Tail gunners never run out of ammo, they have infinite reloads.

[@xgcimhotep]

The Mighty Jingles! About a month ago i found your KZbin channel. Watching you has made me download WoW, WoT, and now im downloading War Thunder to give it a try. I love these games. Even though im from America, I thank you for your service to your country and thank you for giving me knowledge i would've never had. Have a wonderful day good sir!

[@Euphytoseful]

I don't play this game but I've never understood why they call them "realistic" battles if you're out of the game the second you lose a bit of your wing. In IL2 you're able to fly for as long as possible no matter how damaged your aircraft is and your pilot is alive.

[@Colin21233]

Jingles your recall knowledge of technical specs etc. is simply amazing !

[@9999AWC]

Feels weird being here before the masses...

[@starwarsf4]

+AWC oh dont worry. they will be here soon!!!!! xD

[@phoenixfire9176]

+FEATH DUCK >_>

[@irishhound999]

I dont particularly like warthunder but Jingles makes a half hour video of it very interesting.

[@yossarini]

Hey Jingles, awesome video, thanks for that. About IL-28, my Godfather was military technician and worked as part of ground crew on one of AFB in Poland. He had alot of stories about this aircraft, as "our firends" from the east sometimes flew squadron of IL-28s to his AFB. First of all, bombsight was copy of Norden bombsight, very good copy. Where russians could get this bombsight you ask. Well, as you are aware USA used Russian airfields for bombing raids. From one of those airfields 3 B-17s disappeared over one night :>. Tail gunner section was also copy from B-17. Not so good though. It was very very cramped. 23mm cannons were so big that gunner could not sit straight. His both legs had to be on the left side of his cabin. You've also mentioned gunner escape hatch. It's also good one. It was opened by a lever that was placed right next to gunner legs. Once when they were "visiting" my Godfather AFB one came with gunner hatch open. Gunner was inside but nearly dead and scared so much that they had to send him to mental iliness hospital. Oh, and gunners were conscripts.

[@crypticmcnuggets754]

Stay high... that is the BEST advice for any video game...

[@gozergozerian7291]

I swear I've honestly learned more history from watching Jingles' videos than in all my years of education. Splendid, Sir Jingles, Splendid.

[@Ganjalfiltubo]

Oh, the fucking airplane game again?

[@The_MightyJingles]

+Ganjalfiltubo I sense a meme developing...

[@Buffalotaco]

Yes indeed Jingles, yes indeed

[@1gigatitan]

Coincedence?

[@olliappleyard]

+1gigatitan I think not!

[@KnopsLPs]

+The Mighty Jingles oh the fucking jingles replies again. is it annoying already? :P

[@TheShrike616]

Thank you for pointing out Eric Brown. I'm watching his documentary right now. What a life... Amazing.

[@bobbyfactor1890]

Thank you Jingles, not only for this video, but the many hours of quality entertainment you have provided. This particular video may well be my favorite out of every Jingles artwork I've seen, so far of course. It's not the funniest, it's not the most action packed and it doesn't have the most historical or educational information, but it has what I feel is the perfect balance of these three components. Plus, it's a War Thunder Air Realistic match, my personal Sunshine & Kryptonite game mode that engages me more than any Arcade style match (i.e. normal WT/WoT/WoW), while at the same time mercilessly punishing my complete lack of joystick aiming skills. P.S. Funny that last bit, I'm perfectly capable of landing a Hellcat on a carrier in a Simulator battle, but can't hit a B17 taxiing on the runway even in Realistic.

[@deadpeasant9680]

I don't think Jingles realises how much of a trolling plane the IL-28 is. And that this was a complete troll replay.

[@Jaggardz]

These type of videos are great, entertaining and educational, learnt a lot from this and the Mig 15 video you did ages ago, Please make more, they're brilliant :)

[@kylebrady969]

Random little fun fact for aviation enthusiasts: Heartbreak One losing the Banshee in the sun means he fell victim to one of the ten rules of the Dicta Bolka, which is THE dogfighting textbook that basically started the whole art. One of the rules stated - and it might have been the first rule, I don't remember - was to "Attack your opponent from the sun." As Jingles said you'll spot the enemy long before he spots you if you come at an attack angle that has the sun to your back. Neat little detail I noticed

[@michalsalekcz]

Hans's So low.. *now I wait*

[@Why_are_you00]

Okay, now that you've spent 4 years in the gulag, here's your like and comment.

[@leamurdrake]

Anyone else notice that the "If Luchs could kill" video has no image to it? It looks like a video set to private instead of having an actual image.

[@grizzlymc6272]

KZbin bug

[@MyVanir]

These old videos are still fun. Too bad the same can't be said for WT.

[@1983Corolla]

That's so wierd just lookin at it, a bomber that looks like it should have propellers but it doesn't. It's like if you stuck jet engines on a B-29.

[@artreader2526]

+Ａｏｒｉ how is it supposed to look then?

[@charmedwings5673]

wings tail and an engine and a paper fusalage (spelling sorry)

[@spacepirate369]

heartbreak1? is that a throwback to good old captain jack bartlett?

[@bakatsugu]

+TheRazgrizBlaze The best thing is Hans is the name of his clan or whatever it's called in war thunder, so it might be a whole clan of Ace Combat fans.

[@bakatsugu]

TheRazgrizBlaze hell yes it would.

[@Majima_Nowhere]

+TheRazgrizBlaze AC5... Definitely my favorite in the series, maybe one of my favorite games of all time. I mean, my Commander name in Elite is Alvin H. Davenport.

[@Majima_Nowhere]

Ah, apologies :D If I could change my name without resetting the save, I'd be Dav. It's my name on most things now, anyway.

[@difficultinterest1582]

in Australia there is a small town that every year host the biggest aviation show in the southern hemisphere they have one of 2 only operational dh vampire p.s the town is called temora

[@MrDgwphotos]

The threat from IL-28's were why the USAF deployed F-102 interceptors to South Vietnam.

[@smac0010]

Fun Fact! The Meteor Jet fighter was an Australian design, through-out WWII Australia produced multiple extremely effective fighters including but not limited to, the kittyhawk, boomerang and others. also Australian tank designers produced the Sentinel AC1 which, while not deployed, the chassis became the base for the Cruiser series of tanks

[@nadeemlobner8097]

Interesting facts, the only one I doubt is the sentinel, which I believe was based on the Crusader

[@spiderboi4658]

i really miss his WT videos. when he still played, theee were loads upon loads of players, now there are hardly any compared to then... COME BACK YOU DAMN GNOME

[@scook9999]

Wow, welcome back, WT! I had images of Top Gun (music included) go through my head watching this. Makes me want to jump in and really learn how to fly these aircraft. I enjoyed watching a pro like Hans fly his machine. Edit: I imagine for a lot of people (twitchers) will find this boring, but I am entranced by the long chase that goes on here. Reminds me a lot of older flight games (early 1990's) that had a lot of this type of action.

[@GreyShot254]

so jingles are you exited for the hawker hunter which just got confirmed to be added

[@paperitgel98]

+GrayAndAnime OwO i died when i saw it warthunder.com/en/devblog/current/817

[@rabasiticamphibian]

Nice too see you haven't forgotten warthunder, love your videos :)

[@desertfox2403]

Hey Jingles! Keep up the great work with these history episodes! They are fantastic! Perhaps you could consider making them into their own designated series!

[@oyevintj]

The problem with the IL-28's back turret in WT is how accurat it is over any other turret, and how quickly it can turn into you. It can turn almost 90 degrees in less than a second and put a single killing round into you, while tanking 3 different planes pumping 20mm rounds into it

[@derptomistic]

"There are four of you and you're in jet fighters! Why is he still alive?" "Because, sir, you put a bunch of Carls in those jet fighters..."

[@babehunter1324]

5:55 Jingles... Production models of the La-15 were fitted with the Klimov RD-500 engine which was actually based in the RR Derwent V engine, not the Nene.

[@noisewater2889]

jings is back doing some war thunder!!!! love it! thank you sir.

[@danhoard1285]

Thank you Jingles, for the history lesson, the entertainment, and for reminding me that I need to clean my monitor. Damn you, War Thunder Realistic Battles. (sigh) I'll go get the screen wipes.

[@tylerray8381]

Thank you Mighty Jingles for your amazing knowledge in antique aviation. I've learned so much from this video alone. Subscribing for the great gameplay and pending knowledge to come. Cheers m8!

[@joeblack363]

I love all the research you put into this!

[@Procrastinater]

Funny to see the ranges in warthunder and the speed in which you close in on them, the time it takes to go 10km in a jet in warthunder is near identical to the time it takes a DD in world of warships to traverse the same distance.

[@Thearbiter97]

Wouldn't it be better to camp-I mean wait at the enemy airfield and force the Il-28 to land? I mean, he has to land if he wants to refill bombs, and that's what I'd do. Wait at the enemy airfield.

[@TheJurassicPony]

In theory, yes. However, AAA exists, and can easily kill you in RB/SB. Furthermore, many bomber pilots, especially jet bombers like the B-57, decide to climb to space rather than land, as they know landing spells death. This is usually only in RB though, while in SB not many people fly bombers unless it has turrets so they can gunship with it. And in AB bombs reload after a minute, so they do not need to land. So usually bombers are ignored or futilely chased if they can fly faster than a jet fighter (such as B-57's on Hokkaido, where the British meteors fly at about 2/3rds their speed) and, unless they land or choose to bail/be engaged, the game goes on for another 20 minutes of nothing. Source: I fly the meteor in War Thunder. B-57's are a nightmare.

[@Thearbiter97]

M'Carthy I can't say much for jet games, but from what I've done, I tend to stay high/just far enough to avoid the AAA while being able to attack the enemy airfield. And well, it works, usually the B-25/B-17/Yer-2 or whatever lands eventually. Not to mention, but doesn't the Canberra have to land eventually or it'll run out of fuel? PS: I should note though that this happens when our team has at least 1 bomb carrying plane, but yeah, even if the bomber doesn't come back, can't you just attack ground targets to force the bomber's hand?

[@KongoKaiNi]

just got back from work, a pleasant surprise :) thanks jingles

[@MrJ3]

I miss these War Thunder videos for the sheer beauty of the visuals.......

[@franciscog4071]

The next stage for wargaming is clearly to group the 3 games together. Majority isolated, but some battles where you have a Hosho to take off from and you torpedo a st. Louis, or where an Iowa starts wreaking havoc with coastal bombardment, or where a tank destroyer on a cliff scores a detonation hit on the Minekaze before being struck by a dive bomber. THOSE things are what I really want to see.

[@Muck006]

Great example of skill triumphing over lack of it ... which is rare in todays games.

[@MoreNimrod]

Amazing flying and great commentary. Always enjoy the history lessons too ;p Well worth the wait!

[@thespartanmk1]

Dammit Jingles. I've been up since 6 am. It's now midnight. Thanks a lot of uploading this.

[@WarHammer654]

Jingles i know you like to do your own thing but i think you should do just a whole series about war history and just history, you just have the personality to make it interesting and I think alot of people would be interested, because my favorite parts of your videos is when you talk about history

[@alaingloster4405]

I've chased planes while I'm having no ammunition in WT. My theory is I can either be a spotter to track the plane of if theres an ally nearby I do mock attacks to make them manoeuvre against me to make an easier target for the other guy

[@Joze1090]

All that buildup of the f2 chase, and you missed the moment of contact 😂😂😂 never change jingles.

[@archie_-zv8xc]

ACTUALLY jingles -hans- is his clan name. his name is just heartbreak

[@lehtokurppa7824]

IL-28 is better fighter than any other jet fighter because if it doesent kill you with it's offensive guns, it kills you with his rear guns because you can't shoot down and IL-28 in less than a minute and in that time the 2x 23mm will get you, and there is nothing you can do about it.

[@lonelyharpseal8294]

ah jingles, I hope you never stop the videos :P

Except for the World of warships and warthunder ones, they Can stop

I hate when enemy aircrafts try to ram be for a kill. It's so annoying and it frustrating lol Good video jingles! Looking forward to the mingle with jingles video

[@NstHarlequin]

I can't see how this style of play I'd enjoyable for anyone involved. I can appreciate the uphill fight of the bomber but running away from stuff the entire fight is just... Not fun in my eyes

[@artreader2526]

+NstHarlequin its called tactics and being smart.

[@NstHarlequin]

+Repearzz - War Thunder & More! Indeed it is, that doesn't make it any more fun, which is what I wrote about.

[@artreader2526]

NstHarlequin if u dont do that you get rekt because a bomber is not made to dogfight, where the fun in that?

[@NstHarlequin]

+Repearzz - War Thunder & More! That is why i don't play bombers myself, I find the playstyle restrictive and not fun :) We will just have to agree to disagree on this friend.

[@artreader2526]

NstHarlequin yeh well, i play bomber when i wanna chill out and just fly and do some cool formations with other bombers...

[@baleybelger402]

I believe that the banshee pilot at the end was afraid of them both being caught on the ground

[@3rdrevant]

I miss these videos

[@txnetcop]

Great video Jingles! Lots of laughs at the bungling other side. I will never understand their goofy tactics.

[@p117nrp]

Jingles has an army of 500,000 soldiers. a force to be reckoned with.

[@chaosmatty98]

Amazing Plane Driving skill from Hans Heartbreak.... Oh and good video too Jingles.

[@keda7558]

I remember the story about the il28 from the episode when hunter becomes the hunted if i remember correctly

[@Alex-wj6so]

love this guys laugh

[@orsonincharge4879]

Jingles took part in most of the large actions during WW2 , firstly on the side of the British , but after crash landing in Berlin he joined the Axis and served for the rest of the war as a stunt double for Heinrich Himmler . In 1975 , Jingles was discovered in a Berlin basement , convinced the war was still raging .

[@genericdave8420]

+Orson in charge That would explain why things started so badly for Britain and then it all went wrong for Germany. Rumour has it the reason so many Bf109's were lost in training is Jingles had got heavily into waffles and the undercarriage just couldn't take it. He therefore became the highest scoring British Ace without firing a shot.

[@stromwolken780]

A shift off of the salt mines is always good.

[@clmechi2880]

Geeze, no mingle with Jingles, I have to watch War Thunder to get my Monday morning fix of Jingles, talk about slumming

[@rossjensen6839]

i learn more about history from jingles, than i do from school.

Jingles means the Rolce Royce jet engine's which are also in the A320 and more

[@Dragon.7722]

I'm having a déjà-vu right now... that part with the british jet technology... i've seen you describe that before on the same map only in the Mig-15 review. :D

[@DeltaJ26]

Jingles, you clearly have no idea how ridiculously OP the back gunner of that thing is. Anything that gets behind it is dead...

[@TheJsallison]

You kept my interest with an f'n stern chase. Must be the RN background.

[@p117nrp]

Jingle is our lord and master

[@robertclarke3809]

Play it yourself jingles it's fun watching you rage. :D

[@Captain_Coleslaw]

Jingles, just so you know, in War Thunders current form, the 23 mm gunner on the IL-28 will oneshot every time, more reliably than a german 50 mm anti air cannon... Also, the il-28 has 400 rounds for its gunner in total, but for some reason they cant run out of ammo... Also, the vampire IF FULLY UPGRADED cant go any faster than 800 kph, or it will rip, so cathcing a IL-28 by diving? Nah, not possible... Please jingles, check up a little more, when talking about jets, becasue youre giving biginners ideas that wont work in the game :( Anyway, as allways, great video, i love how you talk about some history, and some technical stuff aswell :D

[@alexandersnowden4481]

Jingles in the 50's my grandad nearly got run over by a vampire when it was taxiing and then it lost its brakes so dived down and the wing went straight over him, the pilot then retracted the undercarriage and finally stopped by skidding on the grass

[@paladin0654]

Love your channels. First off, hands down Frank Whittle invented the technology in Britain and gave it to the US. Just a knit on the "decades" taken to "catch up" to British jet engine technology; I cut this from Wikipedia: "The Nene was designed and built as a result of an early 1944 Air Ministry request for an engine of 4,200 lb thrust, and an engine was schemed-out by Stanley Hooker and Adrian Lombard as the B.40. In the summer of 1944 Hooker visited the USA and discovered that General Electric already had two engine types, an axial and a centrifugal, of 4,000 lb thrust running. On returning to the UK Hooker decided to go for 5,000 lb of thrust and, working with Lombard, Pearson and Morley, a complete redesign of the B.40 resulted in the B.41,[1] later to be called the Nene."

[@odynith9356]

I don't mind seeing other people play but is Jingles himself ever going to play the game again. I come here to see jingles play but every time there is a war thunder video, its never jingles game play, but instead someone else that i don't really care for since most jet players see this everyday.

[@HitodamaKyrie]

[@willemdes]

Question for Jingles: Jingles if you could make a game, what kind of game would you make?

[@stempig6618]

And war trains

[@niblob2766]

+Broseh pheres That's just going to be War Thunder. When they eventually get around to adding warships.

[@VulpeculaJoy]

+NiBlob 27 No it won't because Gajin is such a dick head company that has a sence of balance like a three year old boy. Currently the only way air forces and ground forces are combined is in realistic ground battles with a spawn point system that punishes people getting one shot, gives OP players even more rewards and forces you to use a tank as the first vehicle. And now imagine adding warships...

[@willemdes]

+Khaenn Dpro hahaha that's a game that i would play XD

[@willemdes]

+MrBaronmoll Gajin should first fix the game before they add new things, like warships

[@simulacra9854]

[@patriknessboLemoran]

warnt the swedish enigeens better? i mean we were the first with afterbruners

[@hampe947]

+Patrik Nessbo din engelska är inte på top :/

[@krullo0]

+Patrik Nessbo The Saab J 29 had the "de Havilland Ghost" engine witch was modified in 1954 and ahead with afterburners.

[@JohnWilliamNowak]

IIRC, Britain sent jet engines to the US during the war with the exact opposite terms: that the US would not build civilian jet aircraft. There is some real controversy over how useful the British assistance was, but I think most of the complaints can be put down to poor documentation during wartime. The V2 had the same problem. After the war, Labour agreed to lift that limit for a one time payout of three million dollars. General Electric likely appreciates that.

[@xaisthoj]

Reminds me of flying the a-20 havoc during the early days of War Thunder. I might just return for this jet bomber.

[@btbadboi]

I wish you had the chat tab open, I would have loved to see the rage in chat from the enemy team :P

[@czarpeppers6250]

You should really do some replays from the IL2: Cliffs of Dover Team Fusion mod. If you like the realistic games in War Thunder, you will absolutely adore the ones from this. Just check out some videos for it on KZbin, you shall not be disappointed. However I realize your plate is probably already pretty full.

[@TheDireLynx]

British selling jet engines to Russia reminds me a little of Canada's CANDU nuclear reactors, except not quite on the same level. Essentially, a CANDU reactor is a nuclear reactor which can use unenriched Uranium, making it exceptionally cheap and easy to use, can be refuelled while in full operation, and is very safe. It also, unfortunately, creates a byproduct which can be used for nuclear weapons. In every sale of a CANDU reactor to a foreign country, Canada requires them to sign documents basically stating that the CANDU reactors will not be used for the production of nuclear weapons. We sold one to India. They immediately made nukes.
