I'll probably make the Tiny Tim on Christmas (It's tradition now) Unfortunately I don't think this (my HVAR video) is a great video. It has all the cool history points, but the War Thunder tutorial is garbage. Do NOT attempt to shoot anything that has even SOME armor. Light tanks and open tops will get completely destroyed. Everything else is invulnerable. I said in the video: "JuSt sHooT ThE rUUf!!11!" but that almost never works! The skill involved in consistently hitting the roof can be achieved, but it probably just won't do any damage at all. I think I kinda gave some bad advice here on the HVARs.
@@CrabbyPattyMoox I ones killed a Panther with sheere luck using the HVAR's. I was going To try and strafe the Panther in a F6-F5 but got my wing ripped off, so I just started to spray the HVAR', hit the Panther in the cupola and overpressured it.
@@CrabbyPattyMoox ive found it capable of killing panthers only if it strikes right at the ammo, it wont pen, but the explosion will be enough to detonate them
I really liked the note at the end where you said HVARs made you want to play warthunder, personally i was a 100% ground rb player until i saw a clip of someone using HVARs on the P47 to kill tanks and i thought about how cool it would be to kill tanks with High Velocity Rockets, so i grinded the P-47 and its rockets only to realize it takes alot of skill to get good with them lol
I’ve watched a few of your videos lately and the quality of your videos is amazing! I like how you explain and cover vehicles. Great videos man, you deserve way more subs!
Dude i stumbled over your dont buy abrams video and damn your content is spicy good 👍🏽 Keep it up! I will follow you through the videos :) I am creating videos too and i know what effort it takes but this is another dimension of editing 💪🏽 u get a sub!
I usually just use rockets to destroy SPAA that might be dangerous if I don't get it the first time like the wirbelwind. You can also think of them as an extension of your MG and/ or cannon ammo so you can get a few more kills before rtb. For beginners, getting proper tank kills with them is very difficult as they require direct hits unlike on open-tops wich might be a better first target for them. If you are going for open tops only, he rockets are more effective. HVARs are multi purpose in this regard but some nations like Russia for example have separate he and aphe rockets. He with a larger kill radius and less pen and aphe with more pen and smaller kill radius.
HVAR's fly fast, far and straight- so you don't have to fly 5 meters above the ground risking getting shot down. Prioritize open tops - especially spaas. I used HVAR's to clear the ground with shots reaching beyond 1km killing wirlbels, 40mm bofors trucks etc. Overpressure really helps a lot.
ah man I came here hoping the reticle on screen would be some sort of help haha but nah. guess I will just continue practicing until I get a feel for it
Ive gotten a lot better at using hvars when farming antimechs for wagers with the am-1. each plane is different to aim woth hvars but the am1 has they all along the wing so i think its a good plane for practicing
My man using imperial measurement for the size of the rocket, then metric when saying the payload. Just to confuse the entire world at the same time XD
I was starting to get the hang of rockets, I'd say I'd get a kill, maybe half the time? However, it seems like their flight characteristics have changed.
The only thing I use the sight for is seeing here the front of the plane is. The sight barely helps at all. The best way to get good with unguided rockets is shooting as many as you can and seeing where they go. The exact way the rockets fires is different for every rocket. Once you have launched enough rockets to understand where the rocket is likely to go, then you can begin to aim based off of that. Using rockets is actually so annoying though. They don't fly in a straight path consistently, and direct hits are not a guaranteed kill. I wouldn't be mad if I didn't know how to use rockets very well, because I still don't! lol Good luck though man, let me know if you get any better.
I wanted to make one for Christmas and then for some reason that Corsair video took me forever to put out. Next year. I'll just let the hype build even more for my lame UA-cam video ;)
@@andrewhipolito4481 The F4U-4b is another 20mm Corsair at 6.0 with better engine performance, and a lot of people really prefer that one. But I really like the F4U-1c because of the lower br. Thanks for watching the video!
They are useless against tanks and its complete luck if you hit anything because they're unaimable. You can probably aim a little bit if your crew is aced out but I don't have the money to put into such a poorly made game so I wouldn't know.
They are absolutely useless against armored vehicles. However, open-top and lightly-armor vehicles get destroyed by HVARs. I really over exaggerated how good the rockets are. They really suck, and can be difficult to aim. But you CAN aim them.
Tiny Tim master class at some point🤔😉

@@CrabbyPattyMoox well I killed is 4s multiple times with the comparable Swedish hvars, as well as many panthers.
4:45 try setting gun convergence to 'No' and you'll see it makes the rockets fly straighter. (Possibly fixed since we tested it ages ago)
I did a very light amount of "testing" so I could have missed it.
@@CrabbyPattyMoox should see the effect most prominetly on the swedish B-18B or a PV-2d

jesus christ your videos are insane, i love them
Super satisfying! I like to do the same thing to targets with the Japanese type 6 mod 9 rocket. (I think that’s what it’s called, hard to remember)
been playing for yrs now...i have only one HVARS kill on a tuger.
it so hard to aim.
also new sub.
I love tiny Tims way more
A bit more harder to hit but it’s practically a mini nuke when they do
3:33 "cut back on the throttle a little bit"
*Full WEP* 😂😂😂
IDEALLY you want to do that lol. Sometimes I just go where the mouse guides me...
@@CrabbyPattyMoox lol it was a great video just thought that was pretty funny
I’ve watched a few of your videos lately and the quality of your videos is amazing! I like how you explain and cover vehicles. Great videos man, you deserve way more subs!
Now this is the perfect guide. Ty so much, now I know all about the possibilities and the potential suffering :D

u get a sub!
Maxing out the "weapons maintenance" skill also tightens up the rocket grouping a lot.
Thanks for the guide, great video! 👍
underrated wt youtuber
its also to be noted, that these werent AT weapons, but anti implacement/infantry
Yeah, and the original FFARs were first used against submarines
Thanks for the video, I've become decent at the tiny tims, but think the hvars are pretty nice, as I don't blow myself up as badly using them.
This man needs more followers
the only rockets I have used with success is the bigger HE rockets on the IL 2

I remember when they were as strong as the bullpups are now, you only had to hit close to the tanks and you got a kill. Good times

Really nicely broken down and I really liked the historical aspect of it. If you ever get bored of shooting tanks try for planes x)
Keep it up
F4U-4 is my tank battles go to it has two 1,000 pound bombs along with hvar rockets for when I’m feeling silly
at 4:34
whats that lil german jet?
it looks pretty silly
The F2H-2 with a marketplace skin
i think the tempest mkii is the best when it comes to rocket firing accuracy
Ooh, I'll have to try it out. Thanks!
As soon as you said "P-47D" I was shot down by one in game lmfao
My personal tip for using conventional rockets on planes: break wings off, then hit em with rockets as they refuse to j out
the skill floor is insane
i sometimes fire them from range at aa and pull away so i cant get killed by them, if i kill them i can bomb and dogfight easier
ah man I came here hoping the reticle on screen would be some sort of help haha but nah. guess I will just continue practicing until I get a feel for it
underrated tbh
Review Red Angel and Tini Tim.
I'm looking at the tiny tim again for christmas
SNEB at 6.0 is also pain in the ass for ground player.
Ive gotten a lot better at using hvars when farming antimechs for wagers with the am-1. each plane is different to aim woth hvars but the am1 has they all along the wing so i think its a good plane for practicing
Legit less mad if someone hits me with a rocket vs dropping a 500kg next to me and flying into the next house
Can conventional rockets be used against airplanes?
Can you hit airplanes?

I remembder when I was flying the P47 M on my brothers acc and I sniped 3 guys in a row with a single HVAR xD
nice
7:40 Said no War Thunder player ever
i absolutely cannot use rockets to save my life, the sight makes no sense to me no matter how much i try to use it

So basicly ww2 hvar and cold war hvar is different?
How about RP-3s?
I always try to aim on the roof of the tanks. I always kill is3's when diving.
How do you get these bad ass skins
Cool
what is the best rank 2-3 GRB plane for US? RN grinding f6f hellcat
The F6F hellcat is the best, good job finding it! (I'm making a video on it soon)
You have to see HVARs in enlisted, they are the bain of german teams' existence
