Off topic question, but what’s your opinion on the German MiG19S? I’ve been grinding Russia for the MiG19PT but now I’m unsure of which MiG I should commit to.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Both are similar. Hard to say which is better. Mig19S has a bit better performance and 1 more gun, but no missiles and no radar.

[@Bruh23732]

Adam514 Yeah that’s what I was thinking too. Working on the MiG17 right now, hopefully the new economic update will make things easier. Thanks! By the way great flying. Also I’ve noticed a lot less sparks when I use ground target belts for the hispanos. Blew apart an Me262 with a single burst in the Mk22.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Yeah I used ground targets on Hispanos for a bit, but I came back to Stealth due to the tracers.

[@wetzel1628]

Surprisingly enough it’s really a shadow of its former dominance for a multitude of reasons but it still manages to be a great airplane. It used to climb like a mk 22 till it hit 4K, it’s engine overheats real quick and is incredibly fragile, it locks up at high speeds and rips more easily now, you used to be able to deploy combat flaps at 300mph (~500kph) and consequently turn like a God. Now it rips at about 240mph. Used to be so nice for surprising the hell out of bearcats by turning on a dime. On the bright side however it’s still just as fast and dives like a motherfucker. Truly a magnificent airplane still!

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

You rip Tempests? Yeah combat flaps used to be able to go 480km/h, shame. Also there used to be barely any control lock up, t was fun.

[@MrTylerman127]

[@Alpakinator]

Great flying yet again! Aiming wasn't that outstanding as usual, though ;) Especially fight against Kikka with low fuel and ammo was full of suspense! Personally i prefer Tempest II over V. This additional power is so good, you feel the power when fighting with props. The acceleration, and climbing at low alt makes fighting with K4's quite comfy there. I'm almost 100% sure you are wrong about Tempest II compressing more at high speed. I did test with diving up to 830 kph, and pithing up, rolling and yawing, and both planes perform just as mediocrely. Your assumption may come from Tempest II achieving very high speed more easily, and thus compressing more.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Thanks! Yeah aim wasn't special. Hmm it feels like Tempest Mk II turns at 650 as well as Tempest Mk V turns at 700. IIRC local host also shows higher AoA for the Mk V for the same high speed.

The tempest Mk II is one of my fantasies come true... - Laminar flow wings - A powerful 18 Cylinder radial engine - Hard hitting gunnery (on paper) - And the possibility of ordenance... It always makes me wonder how powerful the P-47 will be just adding the Laminar flow wings... But anyway nice vid. Adam keep It up 👍

Laminar flow wings have pros and cons, and requires careful maintenance to get a fraction of the benefits the wind tunnel model predicts.

[@terrado6746]

I know, thiner wings are not really well suited for a "tank" aircraft like the P-47... However the desing of the jug really allows Possibilities thanks of the cleaner fuselage, so i belive that if it wasnt because of the type of duty the P-47 develop in war It would have been an interesting idea put Laminar wings on it

New to the channel, nice video. Any tips to get started on manual engine controls? I understand the basics of supercharger gears, pitch, mixture and radiator controls, but had never seen that HUD with the thrust and other data before.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Welcome, thanks! There are tutorials on how to set up MEC on KZbin. My advice is to leave what you can auto in the beginning except radiators. Radiators are straightforward, and provide the most of the performance difference when compared to automatic. Simply close the radiators to go faster (running away/chasing someone), and open them to cool down the engine. Often supercharger is automatically manual when you switch MEC on, so you need to learn both at the same time. Use the same key for radiator and oil radiator, they go together well enough.

[@Agent-ic1pe]

What do you think of the upcoming economy changes? I for one am optimistic: I think they're just trying to make tier 5 the new tier 4, because they left RP and SL costs unchanged for tier 6 9.0's like the F-2 and MiG-17. But a lot of people are more skeptical than me. Either way, when the changes do go live, I'm going to get 2-3 extra jets that I have half-researched, which is cool.

[@aerohydra3849]

Lots of hairy situations in that video. Was that a cannon arado or an unarmed one? (Edit: Also Low FPS on Norway, gaijin need to fix that) Also, you don't seem to zoom in usually while aiming, which is a habit I always do- it seems to help with your peripheral vision, seeing where the enemy might go next to lead your shots instead of always reacting to their sudden movements at the cost of aiming precision (which you don't have a problem with). Is that the reason why you don't zoom or is it just a habit you never got into?

[@temraekut3692]

Arado with cannons is the C-3 model, which has 4 engines. B-2 model is the unarmed version with only 2 engines.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Unarmed Arado, or I would have flown much differently haha. Zooming doesn't inherently increase accuracy, it's not COD. It restricts your field of view as you said where awareness is key.

[@aerohydra3849]

@@AdamTheEnginerd Cool, I'll work on firing without zooming in. Right now its a bit awkward since I'm so used to the former but the benefits seem worthwhile. I was wondering why the Arado wasn't firing at you, that explains it then. It was wierd how the Arado kept dogfighting even without armament though. I would've thought that, while you were busy with the Kikka, the Arado could sneakily extend away back to his airfield. Nobody would've still gone after the Ardo if the Kikka was a threat.

Different aircraft will lose speed at different rates depending on their power, weight, wing, geometry, etc. I did some tests and made a video explaining it if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX2kaZappb2VmKc Spaded means that all the modifications were researched on the aircraft.

[@arkadiusz9795]

It means all the modifications are researched and installed.

Heureux de voir un compatriote! Question: as-tu essayé le vb 10-02? C'est à proprement dire une brique volante, quoiqu'elle soit une brique très rapide et qui conserve son énergie très bien en ligne droite. 4.3 pour les alliés c'est vraiment horrible, mais j'ai quand même réussi à faire quelques aces jusqu'à maintenant.

How can a Tempest have poor turn rate if it out-turns a Bf 109 G as the British report claims

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

I'm talking about in WT always, and in WT 109s have a smaller turn radius. I doubt the Tempest had a smaller turn radius than the 109 in real life though.

[@nightshade7745]

Adam514 the British tend to use the word “radius of turn” when they mean “rate of turn”. And the Americans as well. The Tempest has a lower wing loading than the Bf 109 but I don’t know the critical angle of attack. The Tempest stalls at 90 mph I.A.S. according to a USAAF testing although there’s no indication of whether that is power-on or power-off. Bf 109 E stalls at 152 kph I.A.S. according to Il-2 Sturmovik, and Bf 109 G-2 at 158 kph, and Bf 109 G-4 at 165 kph. Maybe the Bf 109 turns better at low speed, but the Tempest’s much lower wing loading can certainly give better sustained turn, and its high-speed control means it turns better at high speed.

How the f*** did you get that status panel up on your screen?

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Thanks! It's called the "local host". How to access the "local host": You need to be running War Thunder or it won't work! Option 1: on the same computer that is running WT: -Type localhost:8111/ in the address bar and press enter and voila. Option 2 (which also works on the computer that runs WT): -Type Your_IP_Address:8111/ where you replace "Your_IP_Address" by your IP Address (192.168.X.XXX) in the address bar and press enter and voila, you can look at the characteristics on another device while flying. What I do is I record the local host on my laptop next to me at the same time as the gameplay, and combine them during editing.

To be fair with a correct flight model the hr 162 would be a decent 7.0 jet. But since its gaijin were talking about, it wont happen.

Lots of people have different references and definition of "correct". As always my opinion is what is presented in WT at that moment.

@@AdamTheEnginerd well the company certainly has its right to do what they want, its their game after all. But i dont get why, according to them, the test flight results of the he 162 are too unreliable, but at the same time they added the i-185, of which there is little to no confirmed data about its flight characteristics. Its things like these that spark the fire of russian bias.
