World Of Warplanes: Putting The Typhoon In The Right Places

Release date: April 2024
Erratum: on the spreadsheet the "big" gun on the Yak-9U is listed incorrectly. It should be "1 x 45 mm NS-45M (H)". Fortunately, the statistics for the gun are correct. Thanks to @user-qd7up5yl5w for noticing this and pointing it out!
This is a full review of the tier 7 British tech tree multirole fighter, the Hawker Typhoon, my first review of any plane in this class and tier. You will find my usual statistical analyses and comparisons with the other tier 7 multirole fighters, a detailed explanation of how I build the plane and what other options you might consider, a discussion of pilot skills, a performance evaluation of 25 battles and a hard-fought 5 chevron battle for you to enjoy.

Engine cooling also speeds up the «recharge» of the boost, so can be effective on planes with long boost time as well (gaa, bombers and heavy fighters), to help get your boost back faster😊 thank you for a lot of good videoes, you have helped me a lot in learning this game😊

[@TheNobleQ]

I need to do some work on engine cooling to make sure I understand it properly. I'm glad you've found the videos helpful!

[@ds5839]

Thanks Q !!!

[@TheNobleQ]

Always a pleasure! :)

[@SgtZak_]

Nice video!

[@TheNobleQ]

Thanks!

[@Bells_and_Whistles]

I just started on the Hurracaines, looking forward to this platform!

[@TheNobleQ]

I'd say it's a more flexible airframe than the Hurricanes, though you're in a much more hostile environment with the Typhoon.

[@svenottke2073]

Wow, what a coincidence. I bought the Typhoon just a few days ago and was looking for a good guide about it. How did you know q? 😊

[@TheNobleQ]

I've kept this one in my back pocket for nearly a month waiting for you to catch up! :D

[@Death-su4ex]

Good luck

Great review of the Typhoon, thanks so much! Do you think there’s a good use for the Rocket Sight, on other planes? I’ve not found a plane that it would be good for.. I considered it for the F-84B/F but it seems like strengthened hardpoints would be better. Do you use one on any plane? Just curious,

[@TheNobleQ]

Excellent question! I don't think I use a rocket sight anywhere. I should say I'm *terrible* at checking the rocket ranges on planes, so perhaps there are some with limited range that this piece of equipment could help with, but in my experience I've never noticed a problem with the range of rockets on any plane. I think the most likely place I'd consider them is on the "Bat wings", the German BV P.210/2/5, but to give up aerodynamic pylons or strengthened hardpoints on those...hmmm...I don't think I'd do that. I hope that helps!

[@funnyxavier5121]

@@TheNobleQ Thanks for your input & your kind response😊

[@TheNobleQ]

You're welcome!

The Typhoon has a really strong rudder - you probably would have been able to out-turn the Spitfire, at least for a few turns.

[@TheNobleQ]

I think that's the reason I survived long enough for my teammates to shoot him down. I took the calculated decision to take out the P-47B because I reckoned the sector would fall if I did, making the Spitfire less of a priority. But you may be right; had I not switched targets, I may have got the Spitfire.

[@DisSabot]

I think you copied the name of the J4M's 30mm cannon and put it in place of the 45mm cannon on the Yak-9U next door. The stats do look correct though, great vid overall!

[@TheNobleQ]

Quite possible, it's not that easy to get everything right on the spreadsheets. I'll check that and fix it. Thank you!

[@TheNobleQ]

All done; I've put a little acknowledgement of your eagle eyes in the description for the video.

[@HiTechOilCo]

The, "Like", button is insufficient. Where's the, "Love", button? :)

[@TheNobleQ]

I'll ask @KZbin. :D
