Hey guys, time for another zero today, decided to fly out the A6M2 mod 11 yesterday, and again had a lot of fun in a zero! Hope you enjoy. And dont forget to like, comment and subscribe! Have a great day! :)

[@jengar6258]

i will try ;)

[@themightygoos8650]

What server do you play on? Also, can you do an informational video on your button setup, along with a “tutorial” like video on how one should go about using specific rounds. For example like what makes stealth rounds better and so on. Would help me as I’m getting into the game now. Thanks!

[@aerohydra3849]

This plane is definitely one of my favorite mid-tier planes in War Thunder. I always feel like I am in control in this plane.

[@jengar6258]

agreed, same here :)

[@La_mer726]

I started to play Realistic Battle with this plane. I love Zeros and I’m really proud of this plane as Japanese :))

[@jengar6258]

its a great plane indeed!

[@sheinar4885]

Stronk Nippon "steel". Cuts air like a katana. And icendary ammo turns you into a very honorable fireball. Like it!

[@jengar6258]

hehe, true that.

[@gandharvtenali7085]

Now we need a wildcat/hellcat video......to balance the cycle xp

[@jengar6258]

hehe, fair enough :)

[@funkyboi2672]

The great videos just keep coming! Another excellent video Jengar. Keep it up!

[@jengar6258]

Thanks martim, much appreciated!

[@psgokhan]

I'm so glad the match where you killed my p40E wasn't in this video.

[@jengar6258]

no shame if it would have been mate ;)

[@markussnyman8520]

Thank you for improving my skills in the Zero's!

[@jengar6258]

you are welcome markus!

[@ValerianRen]

I think the mobility of this plane is one thing, but the other thing is that you played it very well!

[@Plato76...]

Great vid love this plane one of the few I have success in! Nice 1 Jengar!

[@jengar6258]

thanks mate, its a fun plane indeed :)

[@hardlydank932]

Love this plane gr8 review!

[@jengar6258]

thanks mate :)

[@onoff8520]

Brave heart indeed :) People mostly land and j-out when outnumbered like this.. GJ mate :)

[@jengar6258]

1 vs many are the best learning schools, i never pass them up :)

[@goldenx86]

Very true, and if you take them down? Next time they see you they'll dive away :)

[@jengar6258]

absolutely :)

[@JackIsMe1993]

Just when I was starting to enjoy Air RB they introduce that damned mechanic it's bad enough when people shoot back but this is just too much, Doesn't even seem like they tested it properly The IL-2 just drops out the sky when the pilot takes a hit.

[@TOYRT]

jackisme 1993 totally agree. Planes perfomance reduced cause of pilot s injured is ridiculus. Dropes outta window crew vitality. If pilot hitted hard then kill the pilot, don let him fly like a drunk idiot vs new spawned pilots in AB in crap planes getting you like shit in midair. Many dont get it they have to land to heal. Plus it so much waste of time to return midmatch AB to heal 5he pilot

[@jengar6258]

its the worst feature i've seen when it comes to limiting the fun factor.

[@f4fphantomii468]

Oh I like that the plane is highly. My favourite feature of it!

[@jengar6258]

what do you mean with i like that the plane is highly?

[@tHeWasTeDYouTh]

9.8k subs, only 200 to go for 10k! I love the zero, there are only 3 zero models left for Gaijin to add. The A6m5c (has 2 13mm in the wings, 2 20mm wings, 1 13mm in the cowling and 1 7.7) the A6M6(engine with water methanol boost) and the A6M8(zero with the kinsei 62 1560hp engine, armor and self sealing fuel tanks, only 3 prototypes got made. had 2 20mm and 2 13mm in the wings)

[@jengar6258]

we'll get there soon enough ;)

[@ToreDL87]

And now we have the C :D But it has the same engine and the the 13.2's weigh it down.

[@lukewar123]

Ive had a lot of sour games recently, you still get called a noob when you get shot down by 6 enemy planes on your tail because all your team is dead

[@jengar6258]

their the best situations to improve as a pilot.

[@Joseph-2000]

Love the Zero’s, not the biggest fan of the M5’s but the others I adore

[@jengar6258]

their all lovely ;)

[@grzesztof855]

Nice match

[@jengar6258]

ty sir!

[@cleverlaziness]

Ooh yeah I remember using those good old energy traps against US fighters with this plane, I have both good and bad memories of this plane 😂

[@jengar6258]

fun times! :)

[@silo_fx3182]

Gaijin dropped a free Talisman on this for me the other day. Doesn't really help as I have all the props unlocked :-). Thanks for the great vid!

[@jengar6258]

nice one ;) and you're welcome!

[@benq7617]

Really fun plane. Its vertical side turn can really mess with the opponents lead. It works well when their diving on you at 1.5km above depends on their speed.

[@jengar6258]

true, against several at the same time it becomes harder though ;)

[@benq7617]

Always another edge on the sword very true! How's the new place coming along?

[@jengar6258]

yeah good thanks, its more or less done ;)

[@iank6897]

I actually like the new damage mechanics, makes it a lot more realistic. If you look at actual world war 2 gun cam footage, only a few of the kills had the enemy plane catching on fire or wings blowing off dramatically. Most kills were because control surfaces were shot up so badly that the enemy pilot ended up crashing into the ground

[@jengar6258]

its the worst feature i've seen when it comes to limiting the fun factor. And i can tell you it wont be good for the game.

[@stop_tryharding]

VERY HONORABLE

[@jengar6258]

banzaiii!

[@Taeschno_Flo]

Nice one

[@jengar6258]

ty sir!

[@kombatace7971]

"I like it when she don't mind if I play her rough!" - someone

[@pratamalol6602]

YOU ARE SO CLOSE TO 100K, COME ON GUYS

[@jengar6258]

10K ;)

[@kurbbusta685]

I love the Zero!!! This plane defines turn fighting!! There is very popular museum not too far from where I live and it has a fully restored A6M2 Reisen! Only sad thing is that it can't fly 😢

[@jengar6258]

damn, thats great! :) i need to start visiting air museums myself.

[@kurbbusta685]

Jengar yea mate but it's not just an air musuem. It's the Australian War Memorial!! Some of the most rare things are in there. Including the world's only Bf 109 G-6 that is still displaying it's original camoflauge! Just about every aircraft in the museum is in War Thunder.

[@jengar6258]

thats good stuff! :)

[@sd501st5]

Fully restored? Does it have the original Nakajima Sakae engine in working condition and is airworthy? Because that would be sensational and only the second fully restored airworthy Zero in the world! As far as I know, the only airworthy A6M with the original engine is an A6M5 type 52 at the Planes of Fame at Chino, California. All other flying A6M's have been restored with a Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp. Both engines have similar dimensions and weight, and when the cowling is closed you could only see the difference upon close inspection, but if the cowling is open... yep, anyone knowing their radial engines will see the difference. :)

[@kurbbusta685]

SD501st it does have its original engine but i don't even know if it works or not. It's a static display hanging from the ceiling. I think it was shot down over the Philippines or New Guinea. It's been in the museum for a very long time and will probably remain there for many many years to to come. So I doubt it'll go anywhere let alone fly again.

[@toothpick8858]

i like this plane. use it in my ground games aswel. 60 kg bombs. fun plane sadly it gets light on fire by AA so godamn fast xD

[@jengar6258]

agreed ;)

[@LuizBarros99]

I would suggest that you experimented with 400 meters convergence for your zero, I think that you would be more effective this way.

[@jengar6258]

thanks for the suggestion, maybe i'll use it on the next zero.

[@LuizBarros99]

Jengar I saw that your shots SEEMED to be hittig a bit apart, and I reminded myself that I had a similar problem with the Hispanos on the StompFire FR Mk 14e, and changine the convergence from 500 to 400 actually solved the issue, I was muh more effective

[@libra9381]

The Ninja of War Thunder but i dont play turnfighter :D.

[@jengar6258]

its fun though ;)

[@eliasa.5408]

Not my favorite zero but I do like the A6M2 reisen. You should review to A6M5 otsu

[@jengar6258]

its now on the to do list ;)

[@s.a.f.r.a6403]

The Jengar is strong with this one

[@jengar6258]

Thanks jacques! :)

[@scubbadave2023]

0:32 wish I could get in games like that

[@jengar6258]

afk climbers.

[@murkish8268]

this plane can reverse anything :P

[@jengar6258]

yeah true.

[@s.a.f.r.a6403]

one of the best beginner Japanese planes is the J1N1

[@mateuslembi7781]

JACQUES Barendse How? Why isn’t these Ki-43? They are agile, powerful enough, and not bad guns...

[@s.a.f.r.a6403]

Mr. M cause the Ki-43 has an issue with the tail controls locking up causing the plane to be extremely in accurate in fact the biggest problem with Japan at low BR's is that you get a match up until 4.0 cause hardly anyone plays the lower BR's cause they keep facing Russia and no one else almost always

[@mateuslembi7781]

JACQUES Barendse How the J1N1 performs then?

[@s.a.f.r.a6403]

Mr. M it has an excellent turn rate cause of special brakes within the front of the wings that only open when turning

[@mateuslembi7781]

JACQUES Barendse Interesting, Ill check that plane

[@goldenx86]

The 60kg bombs will save your life on Saipan when the landing craft releases that horde of tanks. You will need to bomb them quickly or else you risk losing both islands.

[@jengar6258]

i will never take bombs on a zero ;)

[@goldenx86]

Well, you can take small pillboxes and light tanks with the 20mm AP rounds.

[@DerDop]

Lol.... zero vs yak 3... this is insane

[@jengar6258]

in what way?

[@DerDop]

yak 3 is latewar highy superior prop plane. zero mid 11 is a 1940 model.

[@GamblingIo]

Did he sideclimb on the first match against the soviets?

[@stevegoesrogue]

Sideclimbing is typically recommended, even for the fighters that don't need to. You don't get to the action first, but the fight isn't determined on whether or not you are on the battlefield first. And if you are lucky, the rest of your team that gets to the battle first might draw the enemy fighters down for you to blow them out of the sky.

[@jengar6258]

yes, sideclimbing was involved in this match ;)

[@crashbandicootnerd4321]

FIRST!

[@hilm6132]

Deric Carmickle hey Galm

[@crashbandicootnerd4321]

Wazzzzzzzzupppppppppppp

[@jengar6258]

nice1 ;)

[@182Nym182]

I cannot hit anything with a convergence above 400 no matter what plane I use :)) so weird

[@jengar6258]

thats practice with leading.

[@Mark49007]

Those 20 mm are pretty weak. It often make just sparks.

[@jengar6258]

their not too bad, but i wouldnt say their the best 20's ingame ;)

[@edwardneko1569]

idk y He 112B-1's BR is 2.3 but A6M2 mod.11 is 3.3

[@luckyluchs7779]

Ah yes, the fighter pilot's dream plane!

[@brafianblackfyre9220]

if the fighter pilot is contemplating suicide

[@goldenx86]

Learn to set energy traps instead of failing into them, the Zero is untouchable in good hands.

[@jengar6258]

almost untouchable ;)

[@1968leg]

Not sure it's possible to die in this plane. Like flying a UFO

[@georgeabreu6392]

This plane is very difficult to do well with using the PS4 camera controls.

[@tHeWasTeDYouTh]

I started to play War Thunder on the ps4 with ps4 controller!!! it was a freaking nightmare but luckily I switched my ps4 account to a pc(only drawback is that i have to buy anything on the ps4). pc is 10000 times better.

[@georgeabreu6392]

tHeWasTeDYouTh I see. I might consider doing that some time in the future when I acquire a decent PC.

[@tHeWasTeDYouTh]

you can connect mouse and keyboard and it should be ok on ps4 but i was about to do that i figured how to migrate my ps4 account to pc

[@georgeabreu6392]

tHeWasTeDYouTh That’s convenient. Thanks for the tip.

[@jengar6258]

yeah, mouse and keyboard is much better for camera control.

[@amrprofps1424]

Gun buff mah ass!!!!!!!!

[@jengar6258]

gun buff is real.

[@jengar6258]

at this moment all the larger calibers i flew out since the patch felt like they had been buffed. But if i get the same results that have got you so worked up, i'll let you know.

[@major_kukri2430]

Shamfu dispuay

[@jengar6258]

no comprendo on that one mate.

[@major_kukri2430]

Jengar "Shameful display" but with a Japanese accent.

[@dagreenbolt9169]

A6m2 is overteired it should be 2.7 cause it doesn't have the preformance to face 4.0 and 4.3 br planes. The only reason it had this br is cause Americans turn fought it at 2.7 br with their underteired planes and complained op.

[@jengar6258]

it cant be much lower, think about the downtiers at 2.7br.

[@dagreenbolt9169]

Jengar I remember when it was 2.7br, it very rarely got downteired. It most faced 2.3 to 3.7 br alot. It rarely went below 2.3 and it was balanced

[@jengar6258]

i personally think its fine at 3.3, 3.0 would be the absolute minimum.

[@TOYRT]

Dude no ofence i like and watch your videos but... wt is not only RB. I posted about the same thing a few hours ago in another video and some guy jumbed on me about better this better or that in RB. Don t care. Split your your reviews to both RB and AB pls if you can make up your time. Thanks in advance and keep up the good work

[@tHeWasTeDYouTh]

AB is pretty easy and no challenge, RB is pretty good because that is when the planes pros and cons really matter. tx141TX plays war thunder exclusive AB and I think he is the only one on youtube that uploads and knows what he is doing

[@jengar6258]

i only fly ab for my premium reviews. Thats it. I used to be a 100% ab pilot, fantastic mode, lots to learn, but i now enjoy rb more for a year or two already, this probably wont change anymore.

[@ervinb7485]

I just hate the guns, just started playing again after like 9 months and the guns are so much worse than I remember

[@jengar6258]

their better then they've been since patch 1.59.

[@ervinb7485]

Jengar no, maybe I was just a better shot back then but I can’t kill shit with them now

[@Kaizy]

Pretty garbage Soviet team. Instead of crying about base huging, especially on this map, they could have farmed every single tank with their 20mms and win super easily while couple of them pin you to your af which you will never leave again. But then again, play like this requires at least half of the brain and IQ above 50 which we do not have currently in average WT player #sad.
