Playing Britain's FORGOTTEN Super Prop (War Thunder MB.5)

[@WeBeStronk]

How can something so powerful fly so slow? The mind wonders... 😂 What suggestions do you have for me to feature on the channel?

[@yungmulliarico]

f2h would be great m8

[@Austenthor]

Firebrand would be cool

[@MacWithGun]

If you wanna play something really fast, the Tempest Mk.II is a joy to fly! One of my recent favorites

[@MarineBioFin]

JU87G2 please bro

[@JaxonCarroll-nz7qn]

It would be great for you to play the P-36g hawk it is a monster at 2.7

[@crazyadam9281]

If you've played the Wyvern you will feel at home with this plane since the Wyvern is the same, fast but turns like a oil tanker.

[@ushikiii]

wyvern is def better... much better. the acceleration of that thing is much better and its faster at lower altitudes. I dont think them liking wyvern means liking this. This is much much more like a p51.

[@Siddich]

@@ushikiiithe wyvern gets an airspawn and can climb. overheat is manageable. it is nothing like the Mb 5

[@ushikiii]

@@Siddich yeah it really isn't, they just both happen to be fast (at different attitudes) and both have a lot of ammo on their 20mms but their flight characteristics are different. The MB.5 actually bleeds even more speed than the wyvern, so it's more stringent.

[@Siddich]

@@ushikiii …and i would like the mb 5 to be good, because i think it was…

[@ushikiii]

@@Siddich its good not GREAT tho.. not meta but it's good. I've been doing pretty good in it personally. I play it like a p51d30, its the closest plane in terms of performance to the mb5, in most cases the p51d30 is better but in certain cases the mb5 is better. Like when you need to neutralize an enemy in one pass (better guns and better high speed rudder control), separate from a group of enemies (since its faster) or reverse an enemy plane. P51d30 is better energy fighter for sure since it doesn't dump half its energy in half a turn like the mb5 does, if u try doing energy draining maneuvers in a mb5 like a chandell or a rope a dope u can be screwed by its maneuvering energy retention. Adam made a chart of plane's MER and the MB.5 is ded a** LAST place XD. Altho I must note, the MB.5s MER is actually decent around 700kmph because it compresses enough to not bleed too much speed.

[@inkycat7167]

11:59 About the manual engine controls you want to click at the top “Full real controls” then they will appear, you can set your controls and then click “pointer aim” again and the controls will in fact stay there

[@taintedsrrow2417]

or just bind MEC?

[@brentonlee5535]

@@taintedsrrow2417that is how you bind MEC. You have to set it under full real in order to get it to work with mouse aim.

[@taintedsrrow2417]

@@brentonlee5535 I see, it's been so long I must have forgotten

[@MacWithGun]

I wish this thing accelerated better, I would be flying this out a lot. It’s fast, but it takes too long to be fast :(

[@WeBeStronk]

You and me both, it's pretty rough. It could be so much better!

[@kspplayerheffele]

it has been buffed xD i played it a bit and now it is a bit faster in acceleration

[@Kevin-wf6zu]

Webe the reason the MB.5 feels heavy is because of the wings which were designed for high altitude and range, nevertheless still one of my favourite prop planes ever

[@ushikiii]

seems counterintutive to make the wings stubby if its for high altitude.

[@Kevin-wf6zu]

@@ushikiii I thought so too but it's actually for lower drag and seeing the British used their late war Spitefires like P 51s in escort and range then you want less drag from those elliptical wings

[@sule.A]

​@@Kevin-wf6zuyea their Made to be sleek not high alt

[@Ragox]

The VB.10C-1 seems a lot better, being a whole BR lower and getting an interceptor spawn while having a similar performance.

[@alienfish8521]

Hispanos always end up doing either devastating damage or absolutely nothing.

[@amisimon]

Hey that's me in the XP-50 ! Was great seeing you love your videos !

[@SomeOrdinaryJanitor]

i actually really love this plane, a lot of people discount it because it's not one of those "XP-50 Amazing at everything fighters that dominates everything" but like you said, it's a P-51/Spitfire hybrid, and you gotta get to higher alts. think something more like a 190D, you're not a dogfighter, but in BnZ you can be untouchable if you want to be.

[@izejake924]

You have to enable the oil and engine coolers in the Sim tab. And don't forget to key bind the prop pitch also. Helps a lot when trying to get the most of your aircraft.

[@leman8626]

Hey, on the topic of whales, could you play the Lightning F6? I really appreciate how you cover lots of british vehicles and the Lightning is one of my favorite british jets to play, though it does kind of suffer in uptiers like other early supersonics do.

[@Hadgerz]

It's such a weapon. Climb at 290~ kmh, energy trap people with the strong flaps and just fly it like a wyvern or a jet from there.

[@0GTXR]

You enable MEC by switching to full real controls, set up your keybinds, then switch back to mouse aim. The keybinds will still work even if hidden out of view. I can share my control scheme file (you can import it ingame) if anybody wants it. I have most settings set with YUIOP keys and numpad /*-+ keys.

[@TheHangarHobbit]

MEC plus stealth is what is needed for the MB5, otherwise it is the Miserable Broken as the instructor breaks it quite nicely.

[@monkeyism06]

It honestly just looks like a larger p51 with the griffon spitfire's nose

[@Egglovesronaldo]

Do the p51 mustang and intercept bombers pls

[@kspectre21]

I love how this plane looks, pity it's a bit overtiered but hopefully one day in the future Gaijin will actually pay attention to it.

[@jimmiarreltherford8464]

This plane is a pure energy fighter. Ive had a decent time with it in Air SIM but when you get caught out, you get killed quick.

[@DALONEWOLF108]

Glad you made this video inbeen curious about it but I’m not a big fan of British planes mainly becuz I have little knowledge but for it being a super prop and being meh is wild

[@mystic_plays5806]

hi we’ve big fan your probably one of the only warthunder creators i watch is there any chance you would try early jets like mig 15 keep up the hard work always appreciate them

[@asidewinder5871]

fun fact: Manual Engine Control is a God-sent for the S-199 Sakeen

[@binlorry8870]

Hey WeBe could you do a video on the japanese ki 43 - III otsu, I think you will enjoy it thoroughly, crazy roll time, great turn time, amazing cannons also surprisingly good at CAS. Would love to see a vid!

[@lukecave767]

Need add spiteful with its 24.8 climb rate thing would be able to catch p51h5s

[@finnleykoons5485]

Can you play the XP 55 it accelerates so quickly and the combat flaps won’t break until 530 km/h

[@Siddich]

anybody can play it, even my grandma. it is made for muppets and boring to watch…

[@finnleykoons5485]

[@MSgtCyborgGameplay]

The stats are all better than the german planes (FW190 and Bf109) but you dont have a chance against these two. They are always higher, faster and more agile so you get fucket basically in every fight.

[@AlRizz187]

I think you have to play any of the VB10 in the french tt. its kinda underrated.

[@Maple_Leefreal]

P-51s long lost cousin

[@cesararanda4213]

You can get a career as a politician. "it's a later merlin... it sounds like a griffon engine but it's not, is a merlin"... later on... "i was correct". Yes.😅

[@WeBeStronk]

Hey at least I corrected myself in the edit

[@sule.A]

I rarely saw this plane thought it was a turboprop

[@bassplayersayer]

I step climb in the MB-5. You need to keep it at speed. Also I use tracer belt ammo!!!!!

[@vgames1543]

Try the Soviet BI somewhen, I have it but not used it in a battle yet. A complete UFO but hardly any fuel, ammo or damage on the guns.

[@WilliamStewart1]

Climb with speed, this plane needs you to stay fast

[@razorwork1]

actually using Manual Engine Control correctly, Side Climbing, propeller pitch and supercharger controls should be basic knowledge in all UK / US planes from 5.0 RB by this bracket.

[@ushikiii]

M.B.5!!! my beloved. These videos are rate inbetween.

[@ushikiii]

MEC doesn't really add HP to this plane but it does make it overheat less, u can wep nearly the entire game if u prop pitch and rads to 100 percent and reduce prop pitch to 95 when ur temp turns orange. Stat card lies, this plane climbs a little worse than a p51d30, it retains its climb rate better than the d30 at higher alititudes i find.

[@OkenWS]

It really SHOULD add hp, as the radiator should produce Meredith Effect, but I don’t know how well that is simulated…

[@ushikiii]

@@OkenWS the total excess power probably completely offset by the increased drag from when u open up the radiators. also would that be an increase in hp or just an increase in thrust... because i am think its the latter.

[@simplode7752]

you should also take out the french M.B.157, it is a very nice fighter at 2.3 with 2 404 hispanos

[@simplode7752]

3.3 my bad

[@MACRONOne]

Climb rate is supposed to be 25.9 m/s

[@cestaron634]

We should have already had the Super Marine Spiteful and Seafang.

[@stevenaskew2897]

It's really really good in sim.

[@TehCheezMan]

Oh lord I didn't realize Wyvern was at 4.3....holy canoli

[@Boiofthetimes]

Yooooooooo! Ive loved the MB.5 since i first saw it. the story of the MB.5 Is one to never forget. I would highly suggest checking out rexshangar's video on it.

[@whateverarc2768]

I challenge you to play the J21RA, it’s good but really slow

[@MarineBioFin]

I would love to see you take out the JU87G2, big boi cannons for the memes
