War thunder: Wyvern S.4

[@Ashfielder]

Ah, the Wyvern. I'd play it just for the engine sound!

[@xiphosura413]

*whiiiirrrrrRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIII*

[@MagzGTV]

So lets dig out one of the recordings from before my recent computer trouble. Today we'll be taking a look at the British Westland Wyvern, Currently the only Turboprop aircraft available in game and quite the interesting beast. I hope you enjoy!

[@MagzGTV]

Oh and happy Australia day! I did have something planned but with the PC issues I have had I couldn't make it come to pass. Still I hope everyone has a fantastic day and remember to keep it safe everyone. Remember just because you CAN drink that much doesn't mean you SHOULD drink that much :P

[@aidanebel6718]

MagzTV what's the best gun convergence for fighters?

[@marcusmcc5850]

MagzTV Happy Australia Day. Make sure you eat some Lamb today!

[@Xenonfastfall]

Sir James The 1st 400m you have to close in but you have the best accuracy and firepower with minimal deflection shooting at that range

[@WgCdrLuddite]

Nice video mate. But we don't need the commentary on the results screen. You're good, we know. No need to get all 'Orangey' on us.

[@Madcat-qc2xu]

Wyvern's a cool name for a plane!

[@warthundergaming1606]

Madcat9246 it is and a really good grinder. I did my meteor and hunter very quickly, with a lil premium account to be the ultimate pay to win console peasant ftw. ;)

[@wessex8031]

*WAR THUNDER GAMING how fast? and how?

[@austinhanna8328]

X-02 wyvern 😏

[@zerogravity1724]

U wish

[@Ashfielder]

Could you revisit the P47 as a ground attacker once your PC is fixed? Just about to unlock the first one, and I'm interested to see the best way to play it.

[@pyropete1723]

The best way to play it imo is not to play it as a ground attacker but as a bnz fighter w/o any secondary armament - like Magz pointed out you're not able to build up enough speed to outrun enemies, especially when you're cutting grass. You can, whoever, do it, but the risk that enemies are gonna catch you is very high, it has a powerful engine, but it is too heavy in the end and you're very likely not gonna outrun the enemy.

[@MagzGTV]

EDIT: Ignore me, I read the comment wrong. *Smacks forehead* The P-47's biggest issue as a ground attacker isn't so much that it's not good at it, It's that it is better as a fighter. So the second you load bombs on one you are taking a fantastic aircraft that requires altitude to perform in air combat and are guaranteeing it will never have altitude in the fight. The Wyvern gets away with it as it's performance drops the higher it climbs and it cant sustain any combat without a massive amount of energy which makes air combat situational.

[@warthundergaming1606]

Toby Wood yea dont use ot for that. if you climb high (with the air spawn in your advantage already) get to above the enemys. if their still high just climb away, try stay close to team mates but higher as they become bait. hold you altitude. dont rush let a few enemy dive down or die. then dive down to gain speed and hit or kill then go straight back up (litrally 90°) anyone turn fighting or low on speed and alt will not reach you and youll be baiting them for team mates and yourself also any other enemy lower and energy fighting make easy kills. patience, good aim with the .50s (use stealth too) and you are virtually un touchable. playing this way doesnt alway turn out as you know some enemy teams just dont do what you want or expect but I promise just keep trying it and it will pay out. I learnt this myself on ps4 with a ds4 controller. and I used to hate p47 cuz I didnt know how to use them. good luck hope it helps! :)

[@warthundergaming1606]

its standard energy fighting but I had to work it out myself still. I didnt get it from anyone else so when it all worked it made it more rewarding personally!

[@mattf4u-496]

Don't get the P-47 to use it for ground attack,you are nothing but a wasted space on the team if you do.

[@Yakovlev_Norris]

I found that the Air targets belt give really good performance against ground targets too, that way i never have the wrong ammo load if I need to kill planes

[@aaronferrari-woodward4445]

Magz the Wyvern is an amazing fighter hunter I find, I run 250m convergence, no ordnance, then fly it like a jet with horizontal boom and zooming, climb to 3500m at the start and you have some healthy energy, rush the enemy after reaching 3500m then bait them all to the deck where you can out run them all and allow you allies to gain a massive altitude advantage

[@elliotjordan8472]

Love hearing an Aussie accent on these videos, good show!

[@JTelli786]

Think you could show the rarest aircraft in WT? The XF5F?

[@MagzGTV]

Not until I have WT back on system.

[@JTelli786]

Well I still appreciate your consideration! I've been playing for 2 years now and I've never once seen an XF5F.

[@MagzGTV]

There is a reason for that, It's really really bad :P

[@JTelli786]

d'awe, well if you do decide to do it then consider it a challenge!

[@willgraves9310]

the rarest aircraft in the game is the Wirriway, that's an Australian one magz!

[@happalula]

good work, magz! and a truely interesting way to use those bombs with accuracy

[@Ellros]

The Wyvern is awesome for ground attack in SIm. I can rack up tons of rp with it. And when the engine starts in sim, that jet whine is so sexy.

[@irishexplorer7862]

I got to try out the Irish Air Corps PC9M turboprop attacker, I did really well taking off twice and landing once. In real life the PC9M sounds like such a beast with an amazing engine sound. also the Irish Defence Forces use the AUG just like the Australians, I also got to hold it when it was empty.

[@neromastic4512]

Thanks mate. I'll definitely buy it.

[@flyboygames2587]

That was some crazy flying there. Good video as always.

[@chief9626]

I had a question regarding the gun convergence thing. What is optimal for Dogfighting?, and what is optimal for Ground Pounding?

[@joshjwillway1545]

I use 300 for m2s and for hispanos I use 400m

[@Air-Striegler]

Very nice review & well flown.

[@sircalculus1448]

Ahh the Wyvern the replacement Mosquito, similar BR at half the repair cost plus an amazing founding engine what's more to love about it?

[@TheGunner066]

makes me hope they'll add the A2D Skyshark for the US attacker line.

[@johnmoore9588]

Happy Australia Day Magz! Hope you have a good one 🇦🇺

[@gizmomckopp1131]

I prefer the 16x RP rockets and 500m air-targets, depending on the map. On Krymsk and Norway it's especially great. Taking out dozens of ground targets, or even a base, dodging and baiting enemies. My record: 33 ground targets, 120K SL, 16K RP (Premium Account). Best purchase for researching the British!

[@toothpick8858]

i`m hoping that this plane is gonn be on sale this xmas. might aswell buy it then looks great

[@maxharnden-castillo4415]

You really deserve more subs, great videos. I love the tactics and information on the vehicles

[@matthewrikihana6818]

as a heavy bomber pilot i welcome the Wyvern on my teams. They can get nasty after knocking out a base and im still on my way in with the stirling

[@andrewswitzer6334]

I'm totally using that for the attackers that don't have bomb sights.

[@tyler_bt3326]

Btw Magz I don't know if you remember the conversation but your suggestion for Point Cook Museum was spot on, really well worth the trip! It was a nice addition to my last few days in Oz

[@MagzGTV]

I remember, Glad you enjoyed it mate! It's a nice little Museum that is sadly very under advertised. Did you happen to go on a Saturday?

[@tyler_bt3326]

MagzTV I'm not sure now xD I'll check tomorrow. What happens on Saturdays?

[@MagzGTV]

Flying day, Unless they have changed it they usually drag out some of the still flying birds and take them for a spin.

[@tyler_bt3326]

MagzTV ahh, I probably wasn't there on a Saturday then. Oh well, still good fun :)

[@TheKulteska]

love the wyvern i have a 2.5 to one kd in it against planes in rb. all you have to do is climb to 2000 to 2500 metres and buzz the enemy if some one dives on you just dive and you get away flee for a bit and climb back up to 2,500 alt and repeat.

[@brandonyeomans7677]

Awesome video magz

[@eainventories1701]

So close to 50,000 Subs Mags, Go Get them !!!!!!!!!!

[@EpistemologicalYT]

How, in your opinion, does the Wyvern compare with the AD-2? Perhaps you could make a video on the AD-2? :D

[@MrCaptainTiggles]

That captain_tiggles guy looks like a bit of a weapon... He must be super cool.

[@vietnamabc2290]

Hate to break it to you guys but since last patch bases now need 4000lb worth of of bombs or 2000kg so 1 sortie is not enough enough to kill base now so better get rockets and go after tanks + pillboxes.

[@reedhoward27]

One sortie is still enough last I checked.

[@VraccasVII]

What a pretty aircraft, I like the design a lot.

[@timur22993]

Magz, I wonder, what do you think about Japanese naval line ballance on tier 3 and 4? I keep trying hard to perform well, but there's absolutely nothing I can do if the US or British pilot simply doesn't join maneuvering fight.

[@JamisonMK3]

Timur Pirkhal the ki84 can hang with anything imo.

[@timur22993]

Jaebodiah Ki 84 is not a naval line.

[@comesahorseman]

Interesting bird. Boom & zoom?

[@toastoftriumph]

So at 11:55 you mention normally you wouldn't head on. Was a head-on the best option in this scenario, or were you just impatient? And if there was a better option what do you think you'd have done?

[@bariqharb2835]

Happy Australia Day Magz. Have a great day

[@dusthomas1316]

49.000 subs, good work

[@alfredconqueror4422]

i own my life to the wyvern, thanks to this amazing attacker, fighter, bomber, jet god like i reached the Hunter and both Canberras in 3 weeks

[@regulator5521]

Mycroft Beaufighter how do you use the plane? I'm going to buy it now. Please tell me your tactics so I can grind quick too!

[@bluntcabbage6042]

Clorox Bleach I normally do ground attack until my rockets are spent and then go into fighter mode. The Wyvern is like a boom n zoom fighter that doesn't need a dive to catch up to a target.

[@Marmatrix]

im glad i found this video on youtube!! learnt alot from it!! great channel as well!! dropped a sub!

[@slashdotism]

I use this as a lions grinder and it's really good at it. On Norway you can take 3x 1000lb and rush the right base before any of your B17s can get there and get the base plus 10ish ground units which puts you at around 3000 points in 3 minutes of flight. On most other maps I equip rockets and go for pill boxes or tanks and head on any plane that wants to try. Even playing reckless like this and never climbing I'm still positive in this plane, it's great for head on attacks. The ground belts are kind of useless imo though. I use the stealth belts on it instead because I mostly mop up soft ground targets with the hispanos and go for hard targets with the rockets. The Stealth gives you AP rounds as well as HE rounds while the ground belts only give you AP rounds and the air belts only give you HE rounds. With a premium account you can easily get 100k silver lions per match doing this. My record is 560k lions in a single game with a booster equipped.

[@beckywalli7484]

Can someone explain to me what gun convergence I should have for a Me 163 jet fighter

[@KaiIngebrigtsen]

it would be interesting to stick rolls royce modern turboprop engine with counter rotating propellers in a modernised Ta 152 H chassis.. 5250hp and the engine is about the same size and weight as the original ta152 h engine.....

[@tyler_bt3326]

I'd love to recreate a flying Ta 152, but I reckon it would look good with a more tapered nose, like the spitfire mk-24 rather than the pseudo-radial nose it has

[@KaiIngebrigtsen]

M.B.5: Plane Killer Wyvern S.4: Hell On Earth.

[@trevorgoebel1211]

I recently bought this plane and I am wondering how easy it is in sea battles? I noticed since it is carrier borne it should be easy to land and take off. What about the ground attack weapons vs ships?

[@reedhoward27]

6 rockets per destroyer, don't bother with the torpedo.

[@marcelltomasics9143]

I love this plane...

[@Telsion]

magz, could you show us in a future video how you make your intro? since you now have to make one, combine those two and you got a product I'd watch

[@VestigialCode]

Wasn't that thing made in the 50s or something? Unlike all the planes it fights?

[@MagzGTV]

1946, Accepted into RAF service after adjustments for carrier service in 1953

[@boggybolt6782]

So, the Wyvern is basically a Firefly Mk I/V but with more speed and 1 more bomb?

[@ThSeLo]

Dogfighting succesfully in a Wyvern with ground belts. What's going to be the next? Po-2 montage? Great video btw I thought you were going to show us a match destroying pillboxes like the Tempest with the Vickers P. The Vickers P cannons are nerfed, aren't they? I bought the plane two months ago to try something like that video, but the 47s seem to do less damage to the pillboxes than what they used to. I tried to use it as a fighter later, and it isn't that bad, once you spade it, you actually kill things almost every match

[@vietnamabc2290]

Man awesome base bombing and dogfighting with the 190 at the end. Every time I use this plane the whole Axis team just dives after and I die after bombing the 1st base. Also can the 20s kill pillbox?

[@dukenemean8481]

This plane is the best bomber in game next to the A26C

[@cennedystv8098]

I wish I had a chance to use it or money

[@REgamesplayer]

Wyvern is everything that I would want from ground attack aircraft as a Stalin. I prefer superior cruising speeds and really heavy payloads/weapons&ammo_count over all other characteristics. I will definitly buy it since it represents everything that I want from such aircraft. Even if it suffers from typical western low caliber syndrome.

[@hondansx1000]

YES!! finally the Wyvern

[@ZdrytchX]

6:10 you mention about FW190 As not being able to catch up in a dive - They aren't even good at that in my opinion. They may do it better than the 109, but they certainly aren't good at that.

[@koencagurangan3256]

This thing is actually kinda annoying, I was in a 109, (don't remember if it was an F4 or K4) and me, an I-16, and I think an ITP? (It was another russian plane) were trying to run after this thing and after about a minute of chasing I just told the other two in chat to break off cuz the Wyvern was gonna outrun us, next thing I know I'm engaging a B-17 (killed it btw) then the Wyvern comes in on my tail and absolutely demolishes me

[@KineticRhyme]

Wish they'd put in the Super Tucano as well :)

[@MagzGTV]

It's a little new and relies on 4 gen targeting systems and guided weapons. Good news is it is being made for DCS world.

[@silvan605]

Looks like a fun plane, might have to check out warthunder again :)

[@VectorGhost]

how good is the unlock rate on this plane? im sorta interested in getting it

[@chappers9875]

what would you say is a good starter plane? im pretty good at maneuvering, but my planes are lacking.

[@bluntcabbage6042]

I had a blast with the premium XP-38, and the IL-2 in the Russian tree. The best reserves to me are the P26 Peashooters.

[@BeeKayDadaphil]

Just a pity that you didn't show a single glimpse of inside the cockpit... Just the usual WT Arcade hunting... i am only flying WT in VR and in RB or SB... However thank you very much for your video and the nice outside shots... Disappointing for me however...

[@MagzGTV]

Why would I show the inside of the cockpit in the RB game mode? RB is designed to play like this, Cockpit play is the sim game mode. I honestly find you silly for expecting to find Simulation game mode view points on a RB video. That's like loading up a video on cricket and being disappointed because it didn't show football.

[@timberwolf27]

So....Why does Gaijin (War Thunder) fudge stat cards at all?

[@bluntcabbage6042]

W L lots of variables and different situations. Kinda like a more extreme case of trying to predict the outcome of rolling some dice...

[@timberwolf27]

Zander Hash a planes top speed shouldn't be a dice roll... It never hits the top speed ever anyway

[@bluntcabbage6042]

You missed my point. I said its like trying to predict a dice roll since there are so many variables to consider. For example, a group of college students attempted to accurately predict dice outcomes and succeeded. Only after a very long time and many equations based on humidity, air density, the surface in which the dice will be rolled on etc. With air vehicles, there is the height it operates, the temp. of oil etc. to prevent overheating, the amount of energy the aircraft starts off with etc. So trying to put down on paper for every aircraft in the game their max abilities, means they have to consider so many variables. Am I defending Gaijin? No, they have the money and time to do proper testing, but I was merely explaining what could explain aircraft stat cards not being accurate.

[@Parabueto]

Haven't played the Wyvern since it came out, but when it was first released it was really good, I enjoyed it a lot. Flew like a pig but damn could you go fast.

[@Xenonfastfall]

wait lads, should I buy the T-29, HT6 or Tiger SLA.16

[@tyler_bt3326]

Xenonfastfall SLA.16, Tiger IIs are godly at the moment

[@thedarkwolf._.3135]

You know the bombing technique you’re using is called ‘idiot’s loop’

[@warthundergaming1606]

when I would use this aircraft alot its a beast. and people in chat and even here will think im wrong as the aircraft is low altitude and performs best their. I would climb to about 14.000ft and work down and would manage to destroy multiple foes carrying many games (one time 4 kills on a japanese team I was most certainly mvp that time none had any kills. and even using rockets in head ons against fighters and bombers. I found this to be very affective . although a good ground attacker when I see guys loaded up with bombs and flying low I think what wasted talent, if only you knew its real potential! but hey woteva floats your wyvern! nice vid as always magz hope you sort ur p.c issues. :)

[@MagzGTV]

Honestly, With this things RoC and the rate it's performance drops once it starts gaining altitude, if the enemy team let you get to 14,000ft especially with rockets you where not killing them because of the aircraft's potential, You where killing them because they where brain dead pilots barely capable of coherent thought.

[@warthundergaming1606]

MagzTV sorry I didnt mean I went that high with the rockets ha. but I would side climb then climb away intill every one drops. and yes to be able to do this as easy as it was,4 kills and them not one kill between them. (guys have got more with it ) definitely suggests the team/s I faced were not great. maybe even the players themselves. but it worked and well. the rocket thing was for a lil montage, so I head on everything I saw just for kills. the s4 was new at the time so like most things in wt when their new, people dont know its strengths/ weaknesses and to be honest I do think people may have been a lil suprised to see a console peasant coming out of nowhere (least of all the position and alt) In a turboprop ground attacker that is best at low level. any way thanks for taking the time to read my comment and reply!.. im not implying any thing, but if it helps I am a lil to old to exaggerate or make things up. even if my grammer isnt great and my comments are too long. keep up the good work! :)

[@tomn.9879]

Looks like it was a great plane. How long was it in service?

[@MagzGTV]

Only 5 years, It was made in that funny period where military where rapidly replacing Props of all kinds with jets, Even new aircraft with excellent service records. It didn't always work out for the better.

[@shokz3021]

How much fps would I get if I have a gtx 1050 and a i3 6100?????

[@kalani5559]

A lot. A LOT a lot. More than you can count

[@ivanc2445]

we miss magz. warthunder videos!

[@MagzGTV]

How can you miss them? I uploaded a new one yesterday.

[@SekritKomrade]

Thank you, Magz, for being one of the only KZbinrs who uses Ft instead of Km for altitude. Nearly every commercial pilot, all military, and almost all ATC's across the planet use ft. as the application for height, it is a more accurate method. But, yes, these are video games.

[@mkv889]

im confused as to how its more accurate. imperial is based off of metric...

[@spicysaladkid5098]

Chzake It is easier to read for some people. Like me for example.

[@paspax]

Imperial isn't based on metric. It pre-dates metric.

[@wazza33racer]

Fairy Ganett...........truly berserk turbo prop plane............

[@MajorMorrozov]

tip for anybody who wants to be good. find a setting on convergence you hit the most with. and never change it. Not for any fucking reason you can possibly think of.

[@BIackCadillac]

Yes a video on my baby the Wyvern! My account is frozen due to a payment being charged back, I'll be watching your vids to get my WT fix until my account gets sorted out. ;-;

[@kamodaljeroace3075]

Why are you complicated like that magz? Just set the bomb timer at 2sec and fly over the base ffs you can always accelerate in straight line

[@MagzGTV]

Because doing that is less accurate, Leaves you continuing to fly away from both the front line ground targets, potential enemy ground attackers and your own base while leaving you closer to the enemies base increasing your chance of being killed by Base AAA or being quickly intercepted by enemy fighters without support. And while you can continue to accelerate in level flight a dive allows you to exceed your maximum level flight speed giving you are boost to your next target/destination. It's simply a better option in every way, Which is exactly why dive bomber and attacker pilots in real life used a version of this very technique in their attacks, Most notably JU-87 pilots.

[@bilge677]

Wyvern: the plane no one knows how to fly

[@ATHeISTFReAK1987]

why 800 meters?

[@bluntcabbage6042]

ATHeIST FReAK so he doesn't risk crashing because he cant hit his target due to being too far...

[@barfbrany]

MagzTV you Don't need to climb and dive to bomb just stay low to the ground its a waste of time and air speed just come at it level and with a bomb delay of 2 seconds i haven't missed in 6 months

[@MagzGTV]

"its a waste of time and air speed" - After the dive the aircraft is flying away at higher than it's maximum level flight speed. You missed the point of that maneuver, There is a reason why I do it and a reason why many dive bombers did it in real life, The Ju-87 in particular as it allowed the aircraft to leave the drop zone as a speed higher than it could otherwise.

[@barfbrany]

it never worked for me i ended up missing badly now in RBGF that would be a great tactic which i never mastered and has caused me to crash because after 600 KPH it locks up in a dive could you do a video on how to dive bomb at many different angles

[@regulator5521]

9:31, wtf is that a glitch or ur not hacking right?

[@MagzGTV]

Common glitch, If you tap your space bar fast enough during a bomb drop the animation will play two to three times. Only one set of bombs is real and does damage, the rest will stop rendering after a second or two.

[@regulator5521]

MagzTV oh, I was a like "there's a glitch in the Matrix" lol. Thxs for review, I just brought the plane 2 hours ago, its great.

[@awesomejamie4453]

is it worth the $40?

[@elisgibbard5215]

Tfw you forget your volume is one max and yours ears are raped with ''GEEEE''

[@dr.alangrant8969]

So.......... Is it worth it?

[@JamisonMK3]

Dr. Alan Grant I'd say it's worth it. I originally got it just because it's beautiful and unique with the turboprop and that amazing sound but it holds its own in a fight and is a pretty decent attacker. although personally I think the rockets are garbage.

[@thefightingsquid7347]

[@MagzGTV]

[@lawrencebroad6673]

[@mjdetailsgb]

First like. Ayyyyy

[@427Arbok]

People fight all the time over how this thing's name is pronounced. Which is quite interesting, given that "Wyvern" is Germanic, and is technically pronounced something like "Veh-vern." Not that anyone is going to pronounce it that way, because it's a pain in the ass to say it like that. Which is why it doesn't bother me. Personally, I say "Way-vern" because I think it sounds better.

[@427Arbok]

Captain 'Winkle' Huh. Didn't know that. Thanks. Though, "Why-Vern" still doesn't sound very good to my ear, but then again, this wouldn't be the only word that sounds off to me.
