Q: Will you finally add Kaga into the game? She's basically the last Pearl Harbor Aircraft Carrier to be added to War Thunder, since Shokaku and Zuikaku, Hiryu and Soryu are already in the game, and are used pretty frequently, and even Akagi spawning on some maps, why not add Kaga into the mix as well? Then you could finally make the Midway map spawn the 4 historical carriers. I'd love to see Kaga finally be put into the game. Maybe even make her a playable CV in the future? I'd really love that.

[@theironwolf1871]

Kaga could also be in her Tosa class battleship form, similar to Kronstadt

[@barnykirashi]

@@theironwolf1871 I'd say that that form is basically "fictional" Then I'd say just add Tosa, since she was almost finished. And I mainly meant her as the post 1936 Refit, since that is what attacked Pearl Harbor, and fought in the Battle of Midway, which would fit right into the existing maps in War Thunder.

[@Nafeels]

There’s one very important detail missing from this story though! Nakajima engineers reverse-engineered the early German turbojets by simply looking at pictures of their design since the actual turbine units sank together with the subs carrying them back to Japan. Even then, they still knew about the metallurgical issues with the compressor blades and persevered through with their Ne-20 engines. That, and the J7W’s existence shows that even in final stages of the war Japanese aviation engineering is not to be underestimated. Now, if only the J7W2 with their copy of the German X-4 guided air-to-air missile is in the tech tree.

[@PenskePC17]

They probably could have just found the designs in American patent papers like Germany did with so many of their breakthroughs 😂

@@PenskePC17That wouldn’t be out of the question as Japanese research into jet engines were as early as the 30’s, just as aforementioned. Who knows how much access the engineers and scientists got.

[@amazingstealth8235]

Just as the Kikka was smaller than the 262, the Ki-201 was B i g g e r than the 262. And it's definitely a jet I would love to see in the game, even if it wasn't built and is close to a "what if"

I'd love to see it too, although it seems that Gaijin wants to keep available vehicles to only prototypes...

It’s incredibly nimble and anyone who tries to dogfight it (Most of the player base) lose quickly. This is the same reason the A6Ms and R2Y2s have seen a steady increase above what they are actually capable of against skilled players. Due to its small size it’s very hard to hit, increasing survivability and making it dangerous in a headon (as only one or two hits from 30mm HE tracers will obliterate any aircraft in the game.) Finally, although it’s engine is hot it’s tiny. This makes it much more difficult to lock a missile onto the aircraft at all, needing the enemy to get closer and thus let the Ki-200 know they exist, at which point it’s superior mobility will decimate the missile attacker. Does this justify the repair cost? Not at all, but I feel that it works incredibly well at 8.7. I even have took it for a spin up at 9.3 with squad mates and performed decently, with around 1-2 kills per game!

Hey Gajin question: why is the ki-200 at such a high BR? to be honest it doesn’t fit in At 8.7 because it goes up against AAMs and jets like the mig21 which is far superior all I really am saying is to lower the ki-200s be to at least 8.0 it would really help matchmaking plus it also helps the SL cost because it’s practically insane how much you need to pay to repair it at 16,000 SL

[@Denkmaldrubernacht]

You realise at its own tier and downtier it'd be untouchable right

I mean, i spaded my Ki-200 when it was at 9.0 36 kills to 6 deaths, 2 of those deaths being shoot downs, 3 from crashing and 1 from PL induced crash. I was never hit by a missile, the Ki-200 is the most unstoppable plane in game in a guns only fight, ive been testing it from 7.0-11.7

You're questioning why a plane like the Ki-200 or even the Me 163 is at a higher BR. If you put it low, it will absolutely be broken. If you put it higher it will either be mediocre or useless. Also you can easily avoid missiles with it, just lower the throttle and the heat signature will be gone in a instant. For repair cost, that is definitely a YOU problem.

It is often overlooked that the main reason that German adopted jet engines was the fact that the Fischer-Tropp coal to oil system was able to produce a fuel more suitable for a turbo jet. Certainly had the Ishikawajima Ne-20 engine available in quantity, and earlier, the Kyushu J7W Shinden would have become a very formidable weapon and a very unpleasant surprise for allied aircraft. Today, at least two Nakajima Kikka airframes survive in the USA. Along with one of the two prototype Kyushu J7W Shinden aircraft built. Also, two Mitsubishi J8M aircraft survive. One is preserved at the Planes of Fame Museum at Chino, California. This is believed to be J8M403. A second aircraft was found in a very derelict condition in a cave in Japan during the 1960s. It has now been fully restored by Mitsubishi. I strongly suspect that had Japan been able to actually get these aircraft operational in quantity during 1945. It would have effectively meant that the allies would have been unable to defeat Japan.

To all the players of War Thunder: I believe everyone has noticed the recent changes in the in-game economy, whether it's for naval, ground, air battles, AB, RB, or SB. Gaijin is continuously pushing the boundaries and testing the limits of its players. If you are familiar with the game "Escape from Tarkov," you probably know the consequences when game developers constantly provoke their player base. As players of this game, we contribute to its activity, and in theory, Gaijin should appreciate each and every one of us who continues to support and encourage this game. However, Gaijin keeps pushing the boundaries and exploiting each and every one of us. This recent economic change is not just a simple adjustment; Gaijin is gradually making it clear that if you don't pay for this game, you don't deserve to play it. I implore every player here to bravely stand up and resist this behavior. Gaijin has now infringed upon our rights as players, and we cannot, and should not, let Gaijin continue to exploit us in the future. It is time for us players to unite and stand together.

Funnel gunsight on the American F16s ? Radar features on F14? missiles with counter countermeasures? ACTUALLY deadly missiles? New game mode outside sim ? Fuel tanks to literally everybody? Those mean missiles USA has and someone refuses to acknowledge it's existence? Totally re do rwr sound?way overdue repair cost remapping?

Man I wish we could get the Ki-201 Fire Dragon At least the engine was built so I guess according to the fourm it's an incomplete prototype so possible?

[@ezraadrian4666]

I want it to, but yeah... In WT we only get at least "1 complete prototype to mass produce" for tanks and aircraft & "laid down to complete" for ships... R2Y2 V1-3 Keiun sadly the only design project that uses the jet engine, upgraded the "Recon" R2Y1 Keiun, so most of the players or I hear rumors that the aircraft will be removed from the game(except players already researched).. so only a chance "never" to get the Ki-201 Karyū...

Q: What Is the best air to air missile for dog fights?

[@jensn.1457]

R60M

[@cola-warthunder]

For closer than 1km that would be the R-60 or the SRAAM (the latter is unreliable but when it works it's good)

[@sebastiantheseal4465]

Don't listen to these guys, the Aim9L is the best ir missile, the r60m is really flare hungry, the 9L has *some* flare resistance. If we're talking radar It might be the AIM7M.

[@cola-warthunder]

@@sebastiantheseal4465 the 9L is a better missile than the R-60. But *for dogfights withing 1km*, the R-60 is better.

[@paulsunflower5864]

They had one jet that had its first flight the day after Hiroshima was bombed. The project was abandoned 8 days later for obvious reasons

New war thunder video makes any day better

[@Amaruforlife]

Not exactly like the German Meseersmchitt 163 Komet or 262. They did used the German's jet technology, The MXY-7 OHKA. Japanese had NAKAJIMA KIKKA Ne-20, but it came too late.

[@Galaxy-oy4nj]

Yeah id love to see an air launched suicide cruise missile with 800kg warhead for Japan, because why not? Maybe the G5N and G8N can carry two of them, who knows?

[@brox_guy4092]

Cool but one thing : Plz add the kugelpanzer

[@maxspace1272]

Hey would you bring town the ki200 so it can be playable and repair the landing gear of the kikka because we have to j out every time at the beginning of a game ? Thanks

[@fifthcatalina1066]

Imperial Japanese plane actually have good technology. I still remember American pilot say if Zero actually can outperformed Hellcat, Corsair, and some american plane. They have good technology. But lack of good tactics

[@GetBoogieWoogied]

Germany: Look you can copy my homework, just make it look different please… Japan:

[@cmdrTremyss]

Well, very nice video, but it doesn't explain, why the Ki-200 is placed in BR 8.7, forced to fight with the jets of the late 50's, some of them equipped with AIM-9 missles. And this is the case when she isn't even uptiered.

[@china-pig]

F104 fight with F14。Japanese aircraft don't have any distractors before f4。This is how they make you pay for a premium account

[@marcinborowski6938]

What about Kugisho "Ohka" Model 43 Otsu special pourpuse fighter?

[@rags417]

I know you guys get petitioned all the time, but when are we finally going to see ejection seats ? Combined with a higher reward for saving the pilot it could stop players from blindly going down with their planes shooting wildly rather than being sensible and bailing out.

[@paciencia0956]

WOW the r2y2 getting uptiered to 9.0 amazing gameplay The kikka getting outperformed by pretty much everything, f89 and su11 examples Ki200 the plane that is worse than 163 yet has guns with higuer velocity = 0.7 increase in br because why not Amazing gaijin

Horton 229 was a German stealth bomber for wwII but why do we only have version 3 not the other 2

[@RE-zl7sy]

it was a figther/bomber

[@torlakkarstad4251]

I'll tell you why: Version 1 was un-powered and had fixed landing gear, version 2 was to have better engines (compared to the 3rd version) that bmw made, but they weren't available in high enough quantity for it to see flight before the allies took control over the area, so there's no good data on it to build upon.

[@CyberBot17]

it was not stealthy and calling it a bomber would mean the P-26 is a bomber

[@blacktiger974]

229 was as stealthy as literally any other flying wing design of its day (whose stealthiness comes from a small frontal profile and in the case of 229, use of wood to preserve aluminum). it was not designed for stealth

[@friedyzostas9998]

It was not a stealth bomber by any means.

[@TheWuii]

That grind in each Country has to stop. If I have a 9.0 in German Tree, why I cannot research other 9.0 vehicles in other countries.

[@koolkranny]

Because then players would stop playing the game, because there isn't enough grind.

Anyone got any idea on what song was used from 3:25 to 4:55? I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help ^^

[@stephengardiner9867]

Japan had only a couple of prototype jet and rocket propelled aircraft. NONE reached operational status. Like Germany, they had some advanced designs that did not have a snowflake's chance in hell of ever being built, much less seeing actual service. The Kikka did see limited (and remarkably unsuccessful) use but while it was winged and powered by rockets, it was a guided bomb (guided by a human on a one-way trip). Their jet and rocket powered aircraft prototypes only JUST qualify as "WWII" aircraft as they had their few test flights in the last few days of the war.

[@Galaxy-oy4nj]

Gaijin can you fix the japanese gunner textures? They are still bugged. Also some rank 4 Japan planes are overtiered, most noticeably J2M3 and J2M5, the J7W1 too.

[@threvw8]

Ah yes, run out of ammo and you become ammo.

I always wondered, since Gaijin introduced the fantasy R2Y2 jets which literally did not exist at all even on paper, could we ever see the actually designed Me262 prototypes eg the HG variants?

[@ODST_Parker]

Most likely, the R2Y2 will simply be removed, eventually.

considering wehrbs will pay any money to be able to enact their fantasy of germany winning ww2, I'd say it's a great idea for a premium

[@SailorIvo]

Q: We know that Germans used to implement whistles on their bombs, so via the Doppler Effect, a plane that is dropping bombs would hear a decreasing pitch on the whistle. But isn't it the opposite on the receiving end? A tank getting bombed should hear the sound as an increasing high pitched whistle. Is it possible that you implement this to the game? Thank you!
