    Tankenstein, got it a while back. Became A LOT better after dropping to 5.0 -> it used to see all sorts of 6.3 superprops, which mauled it. Climbing is average, high-altitude performance was affected (like the P-47) due to match time reduciton to 25 min. It turns like a brick so go steady and extend is the thing. But it IS fast, and if you manage your altitude and return to height after booming, its pretty nice.

  • @julianmorrisco
    @julianmorrisco Рік тому +11

    5.0 now? Fastastic! This plane always suited my more tactical, less dogfight-y style and I’ve loved it since I bought it years ago. I’m older so my reflexes aren’t as good as they were when I was 18, so this more measured style is more successful for me than any fast-twitch turn ‘b’ burning. Regardless, I haven’t played this plane for a while. Time to take off the dust covers!

    A few things from a veteran D13 pilot:
    1. It has a High Wing Loading, vertical maneuvers are out of the picture at speeds 300 mph and lower
    2. Maneuverability is pretty good *with Flaps* your Takeoff Flaps can deploy close to 400 if I remember right; Your landing flaps can go out close to 220 mph while loosing speed in a vertical to flip around faster
    3. *Bring min fuel* The min fuel load for the D13 makes the thing turn into a nigh decent turn fighter; never make turns in a dogfight without having 350-400mph+ airspeed.
    4. The D13 has a 3 stage Supercharger, its gears (correct me if im wrong I haven’t flown it in a minute) goes from 2600, 4800, 7600 meters respectively, I am not sure if it is actually useable in-game though
    5. Your top speed comes close to around 520 mph or so but the compression is really bad at those speeds.
    6. At the start of Air RB matches climb at 25 degrees until you reach 4K - 4.5K meters altitude. From there climb more as you see fit if needed
    Unrelated to the D13 but, play the D9 and the D12 at some point. The D9 is slightly shorter in length but can still hold its own pretty well. The D12 is a near carbon copy of the D13 but with a 30mm instead. Though there was something else that sets the D12 apart from the D13 I think it was the D13 had improved ailerons or something.

    Loving the D13 so far, even if it does get slightly fked by the 288 black hole. Since matches take place at low to mid alt i'd say the D9 feels more nimble and competent in air rb. Little bit more power, but feels quite a bit heavier

  • @julianmorrisco
    @julianmorrisco Рік тому

    Oh, one other thing. Re the 50kg bombs in Ground RB. I treat them as a single drop (after dropping the big boy). I set the drop order to S (salvo, I believe), swoop down low to my target and drop as close as I can. As there are four of them, unless I get uncoordinated- always a problem with the 190s, if I’m not flying level and straight the g forces throw my bombs in essentially random directions. Anyway, that flying caveat aside, as there are four of them I find the 4 50s worth bringing as I usually get a kill as at least one of them is likely a direct hit. And most people assume you’ve dropped all your bombs after the central one, so are less likely to try to dodge.

It hasn't dissapointed me at all, besides a few mistakes I've made, it obliterates target within a few hits and runs like the devil when being chased. My highest RP earning from one game so far is 12,000 which is infinitely better than what I had been getting trying to use my bf109 F4. Thank you for convincing me to get this!

    This is easily my best plane, it's LETHAL if you keep your speed up and don't use the upgraded 20s. With the stock 20s the spread is such that a 2-3 sec burst at 1400-2000 is wider than people expect and they never dodge enough, if your speed is up and you use flaps you can out turn spitfires.

    @PT-nh4rv 11 місяців тому

    I would say 7.5 is a very low overall score. I would easily give it an 8.5 regarding dogfights and killing power. I only play SB with aircraft, in this mode his BR is 5.3, so you can face planes up to 5.7. In any case, it easily outperforms Spitfires in terms of power and maneuverability at high speeds. I already managed to get rid of 2 bandits with spitfires, they were on my tail, flying at 500 kmH, trying to shoot at 200 or 300 meters, I managed a good climb rate, I maneuvered on top of them and went down shooting. The first lost one of its wings and the And the second tried to chase me in the dive, I quickly managed to exceed 700kmH, returning smoothly to the top, then the spitfire was below me trying to shoot, it hit me in one or two bursts and I managed to go down using the rudder, practically at 130kmH, he he tried to regain speed but it was too late, he was chopped into pieces. The big Achilles tendon of the FW-D13 I would say is the P51-D, which manages a good rate of climb and often beats you in terms of energy. Often the most prudent thing is to try to take the P51D to low speeds and try to reverse, but almost always they perform better.

  • @braydenpepper7630
    @braydenpepper7630 Рік тому +1

    If u r new to the game I would not recommend this plane as it takes skill to use and if u have been playing long enough that u understand energy retention and combat menuvers aswell as knowing what your plane can and cant do and what your enemy can or can't do it then I'd highly recommend this plane it is faster than the mk9 spitfire on the dec and can reach a maximum speed of 650 past 4000m. The rollrate and flaps are very good the flaps are very strong and your landing flaps rip at 300 kph and your takeoff flaps rip at 560 kph this plane is my favorite plan and it has my highest kd. It's very cheap for how good it is but like I said if ur still getting a grasp on how to defensive fly or still learning the basic dynamics of the game I'd recommend u use a 109 as they are one of the best planes for teaching someone how to fly. That is my take on this plane it's a really good one and I forgot to mention do not under any circumstance try to turn right any single engined fighters with it. It's turn isn't bad but it's bellow average for its br

First game without any booster I made 250k SL and it just felt like seal clubbing. Ok it doesn't turnfight well, but climb above your victim and scythe straight through them. It's almost impossible to not get a clean kill if you get rounds on target, including cutting wings off bombers with ease. Compared to the British Typhoon (which I love) it just feels like playing on easy mode.
