  • At the start of WW2 engineers were already not satisfied with the max power output you could get by using a piston engine. With the existing design, the only way to get a significantly more powerful engine was to make it significantly bigger, which made the task of designing an aircraft around it hellishly difficult. That’s why scientists and engineers all over the world started developing new types of engines… and one of the most promising of them, at the time, was the liquid rocket engine.

      The plane is already itself a high risk high reward but that repair cost (28k for the ki-200 for exemple) is way too much for what the plane gives and to be viable, litteraly if you lose, even if you do multiple kills you will still lose money if you don't have premium

    I've actually become a bit of a professional flying the Ki-200, getting about 5 to 6 kills per match and usually surviving to the end. If you can get really good and and survive the repair cost becomes practically nothing even when you do die every so often, simply because of how much money you get in return.
    Honestly, the Ki-200 is my favorite plane in Warthunder, and I can even out perform Sabers and Migs.
    A few tips of mine are 1: Only use about 50% throttle most of the time you are in the air. 2: Make sure you use landing flaps when taking off, because it likes to bounce on the runway past 200 KMH, then quickly retract them once off the ground. 3: Try not to head on other planes, if you get caught going head to head with another plane, fire a small burst and quickly turn off, your plane will most likely explode or your pilot will die if you get shot, so use your maneuverability to your advantage. I typically like to do a turn into a half spiral ascending and quickly turn behind the enemy plane. 4: One of my most important points, stay near your allies and stay above or at the same level as your enemies, it will give you an advantage.

    Opinion: i think the Me 163 was very useful, especially to Alexander Lippish. Since it had a swept wing, an experimental design at the time, Lippish practically tested this and not only confirmed that swept wing aircraft was the way to go, but he also theorised that delta winged aircraft could be a possibility. He would later then help a lot in this field, which is arguably what he's known for nowadays.

    Fun fact: There was a good chance that if something went wrong or an engineer wasn't super careful with the Komets liquid fuel then pilot would be reduced to soup in the cockpit. Imagine training for months only to be turned to a slush before you even took off. After they ran out of fuel they were easy pickings, strat being to just avoid them until they spent their load and just follow up behind them while they're in a glide and finish them off or shoot em up where ever they land which was never very far.

    Chasing a ghost. Rocket motors were suitable for Point Defense interception; a concept soon bankrupt as technologies for standoff and ballistic missiles improved. Once bombers did not have to pass over heavily defended targets in order to bombard them, the need for a Point Defense Interceptor vanished and the age of the long range All Weather Interceptor (and its AA Missiles) began.
    That's a tactical utility appraisal. Additionally:
    1) Soviet BI (and some other) fighter projects used "red fuming" Nitric Acid as an Oxidizer. Glass tanks broke; metal tanks melted; pilots were literally eaten out of their protective suits. That's the origin of the "Gray Alien" trope: acid burned, half dissolved, test pilots*.
    2) Deutscher Raketen plane projects pursued both conventional take-off and landing craft like the Me163, and the Ba349, a rail launched Point Defense Interceptor. German oxidizer was "85% pure" Hydrogen Peroxide, another incredibly dangerous stoff to organic tissues. More glass tanks, more pilots eaten alive and the odd inexplicable mid air explosion.
    *That's what they were testing at Area 51, btw. Odd shapes, rocket propulsion, and pilots eaten out of their suits.

  • @ianrobertsonpiano
    @ianrobertsonpiano 3 роки тому +1

    It's difficult to ascertain how effective planes like the Komet were because the fuels were so volatile and without strict procedures and maintenance, they could easily mix and explode. Receiving any battle damage would likely have been catastrophic, for similar reasons. But the situation was made even more difficult by the fact that the factories they were built in were often staffed by POWs and dissenters who were actively trying to sabotage the aircraft during production. Germany may have had some brilliant ideas but the conditions they faced made it almost impossible to create something and properly test it before putting it into battle, let alone provide quality assurance.
