7:05 Yeah, I really thought he would attack the G55 as well. This is what happens with a lot of teammates, they do their best to be efficient but they lack the vision to see the opportune targets so they extend a lot of distance before reassessing the situation. It's still better than turning not knowing what you put yourself into and dying too fast because of that. Always nice when teamwork like this works out too.

Adam, I've been following your channel for a bit and I know you're pretty freaking good and know your stuff But how many games actually go as smoothly as they do on your videos? like out of 10 games? Just curious :P keep up the good work!

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Depends what you mean by smoothly. Most games are smooth, and the smooth ones don't make it to KZbin. I show the good and close games, not the one-sided ones, and that's relatively rare to find. Perhaps 1/15 games or so are KZbin-worthy, but that changes a lot depending on what I'm flying. My standards are higher for F4U4B footage than for Ju87 footage.

Well, had a few missions today, was fun, finally set up the data panel. Are all games in RB mixed these days? A side effect of too many nations? Or do they have RB EC or something you can role play in? Having the real time info makes it fun to rewatch your videos and pay attention to those numbers more. I installed it because I want to be able to see my speed to the right of my plane, hard to see on the far left for me. Lord I am rusty, but shouldn't take too long to get to my previous level of noob.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Yeah mixed 9/10 or so. I think it was to reduce queue times.

[@maxthehack9072]

Hey Adam great video (as usual), been learning more than you can imagine from your content, I've quickly become a much better player from studying your tactical decisions and thought processes when flying... Quick question (I'm sure that you've answered this before, sorry): Why do you generally use tracer rounds instead of stealth? While I understand it may be a bit easier to aim (at least re-adjust aim), but from someone like you with lots of experience, I would imagine that you can lead well enough that the element of surprise with stealth becomes a thing of greater value than what tracers provide. Even as a generally new player, I made the conversion to stealth and have stayed with it, only using tracer when stealth belts suck for a particular aircraft.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Glad to help! I still like having a small amount of tracers in my belts usually. But also the viewers have a harder time following my shots if it's stealth too so that's a factor.

[@maxthehack9072]

​@@AdamTheEnginerd Fair enough, didn't think about the viewer aspect that makes sense. For me though I love sniping enemies that don't manoeuvre sufficiently due to thinking that I haven't started blasting yet.

[@StealthySparky]

GG ! Ah, mon avion préféré le Ki-84 Hayate que j'ai découvert grâce à War Thunder d'ailleurs. Je suis un féru de 2nde Guerre Mondiale mais je ne connaissais que les avions/véhicules en rapport avec la guerre en Europe (et aussi le front Est grâce à la série IL-2 Sturmovik). Les seuls avions de la guerre du Pacifique que je connaissais c'était le Corsair et le Zéro (grâce à la série Les Têtes brûlées/Baa Baa Black Sheep/Black Sheep Squadron ^^) donc j'ai découvert beaucoup d'avions japonais grâce à War Thunder. Le Ki-84 est instantanément devenu mon avion préféré surtout pour son apparence mais j'ai ensuite découvert qu'en plus c'était un des meilleurs chasseurs de l'époque (malgré les problèmes de moteurs) :D J'ai surtout joué le otsu mais je me demande ce que vaut le hei avec ses deux canons de 30 mm. Ce dernier est-il vraiment si bon qu'il mérite un BR de 6,3 ? Il me semble que la seul différence avec le otsu est l'armement pourtant.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Je connaissais rien des avions russes et italiens avant de jouer à WT. J'ai joué à Combat Flight Simulator pendant ma jeunesse, et c'était le front ouest et le Pacifique (dans CFS 2). Le Hei est trop haut en BR pour ce qu'il est comparé aux autres Ki-84. La seule différence est l'armament, avec la petite différence de poids qui vient avec.

[@StealthySparky]

@@AdamTheEnginerd Ouais, pour le Hei c'est ce qu'il me semblait aussi. Il doit avoir un peu moins de munition aussi pour ses canons de 30 mm. 5,7 serait sans doute un BR plus approprié.

Lol of course the JU 288 puts out the fire. It's just so comical when I set one on fire and he manages to put it out.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

I'd say Ju288s rarely die to fires.

[@xSupra]

@@AdamTheEnginerd In my experience they tend to put out fires but actually tbh, recently I've been getting less of that so idk if I'm just getting lucky right now or they changed something with the JU 288.

[@RedRocky54]

From my experience a 288 putting out a fire is often just prolonging the inevitable if it doesn't have altitude/energy. I'm ashamed to say I've flown one a fair few times (only really for tasks/events) and in my experience while it can take a decent amount of damage up front, just one engine being damaged or leaking water/oil requires an immediate RTB on medium or larger maps. Because for how well they normally perform they fly horribly at landing speeds when damaged, and when damaged its engines seem to lose power/seize up relatively fast. I feel like I've died trying to RTB/Land almost as much as I've been straight up shot down. But I also haven't flown it in a long time, no idea if that's still accurate.

I know you don’t play WT as much anymore due to airfield camping, and likely have a huge backlog of vehicles to play. But could you give the IL-2 a go at some point? (Any variant, pick your favorite). I know it’s not a fighter, but I’ve been having some success with the 37mm one after trying to improve from your videos. and was curious to see how you’d fly it, especially since it would be out of your ordinary. Anyways nice video as always, have those fires have been going out a lot quicker lately? Or is that just me? Feels like fires are iffy if they will burn for a while or not. Unless it’s on you, then you’re on fire all day.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Yeah I'd like to make an IL2 video!

[@eb3yr]

imo the easiest way to rebalance the 288c would be to increase its minimum fuel load so that fires burn for longer. Maybe not to the extent that a single fire's gonna kill it, but at least to cause fires to deal more damage and hamper its speed more. Increasing BR will make the people who bought it to grind cry about fighting jets once a blue moon, and it'd probably end up dragging 5.3s into 6.3 uptiers more often.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Pretty sure the 288 has more than enough fuel to last the match already. It must have a lot of separate fuel tanks.

[@eb3yr]

@@AdamTheEnginerd It has a whole bunch of fuel tanks in each wing, I think the problem with fires going out is that the fuel is distributed between all of them and so each single fuel tank contains a small amount that'll burn off quickly without causing much damage. I might be wrong, though.

The most surprising thing is how well the ho-5s performed for you Do you have any tips for using them?

Get close and keep shooting until it dies!

[@kermitlynotfound1129]

idk about those guns but when it comes to war thunder you gotta use the right belts. use the right belts plus have good aim! thats the best advice you can get

Haven't yet flown the Ki-84 but I do have the Ki-43-III with two Ho-5s in the nose. In my experience, you have to get quite close (best at

[@deadeyecpt.7765]

@@AliceC993 spot on in my opinion. Flat surface is best target for Japanese 20s, I usually get within 400m to open fire. Used to run universal on everything with 20s but now I run armored targets on the ki-43 otsu, for some reason I've had better results with them just on that plane. I started trying out stealth belts on the A6ms, still gotta get used to it though.

Hey man. I'm a new viewer of yours, and was wondering about your streams. Do you do them anymore? Specifically the war thunder streams.

[@siliconavatar8218]

Do you mean youtube or twitch

[@topazplant]

@@siliconavatar8218 twitch, looks like the last stream was a year ago.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Last one I did was a couple of months ago. Do to the current situation, I can't make any noise past 10PM so that inhibits my usual stream schedule. I'll try to stream once in a while.

[@jtofgc]

I've ended up in a number of matches at low tier lately where the last enemy just does tight circles around the airfield while the last 10-15 min of timer runs out. I noticed you mentioned af camping at the end of the video. Is that a major or minor problem at higher tiers in your opinion?

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Major problem, biggest reason why I don't play WT as much as I used to.

[@theRealests]

In jet tiers (7.0 and above) its less of a problem because we're too fast for the AAA or just send a missile, but harder to deal with while avoiding the new SAMs.

[@PaulieLDP]

I always thought I'd have a better time flying the lower tier Ki-84s with worse guns because they'd have the same flight performance at lower tiers, but I did way better in the hei model and have more fun in it.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

I don't do bombers.

[@stealthtallyfox7210]

Adam, asking. From sources online I often see statements of how Ki-100 is supposedly superior to Ki-84 given equal pilots, but the stats on paper seems to point at the opposite. Can you do a video about this?

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

I'm not an expert on the real life history of these aircraft, but there is more to an aircraft than simply its performance. Reliability, range, stability and control are also important factors which aren't present in RB.

[@stealthtallyfox7210]

@@AdamTheEnginerd I see. Shame there's so little about the topic other than the JAAF claiming the 100 to be better over 84. Perhaps the 100 was easier to control and stable since the fact they have comparable stats but the Ki-100 being like a hundred kilogram lighter, but alas, thanks for the answer.

[@user-hl6pc1fw4i]

当時ki-84はエンジンの品質低下から性能が低下していたのに対し、ki-100は比較的エンジンの品質が安定していました。更に日本人パイロットの多くは格闘戦を好みki-100の方が旋回戦闘に向いていたのがそのような評価になったと考えられます。

killing ju288 are one of the hardest things to do in this game imo

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

I guess.

[@RedRocky54]

Not necessarily, as you could see with the 288 Adam set afire in this video they really don't like flying after taking engine damage. Even if a fire doesn't immediately kill one it's usually going to struggle to make it back to the runway alive. If you wait to engage them on their second run when they're low and have no energy(so you don't have to sit on its tail), and can critically damage at least one engine, it's as good as dead in my experience.

[@gaiofattos2]

One year ago it was the most resistant death star of a plane. But now both bv 238 and he 177 seems stronger to face against.

Haven’t played War Thunder in about a year. Looking to get back into it since I can afford Premium all the time now. Is it worth it or has Gaijin thrown it even more down a drain?

It's significantly worse now than a year ago. Matches are limited to 25 min, usually mixed battles, and airfield camping increase.
