Uh, that was only near the end of the war and Japan was quickly running out of torpedoes and pilots alike. The tokubetsu kougeki tai was a plan of desperation. Not run of the mill operations. Just sayin'.
One of my friends gifted me this plane this morning. We flew it out together today after work and I got 4 kills in my first battle. This thing is gonna get uptiered for sure.
A large wing surface, and it's 300-400 kg lighter than the regular G.55. Yeah, no real surprise there actually. Just treat them like you would a Spitfire F Mk XVI or an LF Mk. IX(with engine damage... the G.55's DB 605A engine produces nowhere near the power that the LF IX's highly boosted Merlin 66 does). Except that these "Spitfires" can sustain high speeds in steep dives without worrying about their wings flying off.
You can also say that all water is surrounded by land, because the oceans are just gigantic pools of water in the depressions between the higher continents.
I love the Bonus Round in the tiny window between the tickets running dry and the match ending. Kinda reminds me of the old Dream Team tank companies in WoT that Circon used to run.
It is always best to use any new planes right away, as they are often totally unstoppable and killer until the next patch. Italy would have won the war singlehandedly if their planes worked the way they do after first released.
Another good vid in the books. Loved it as usual. Always brightens up my day and i hope you week as improved, if not dont forget, the squirrels are your friend.
I know I’m late, and I know you are joking, I’m not offended, but they would get the 7:50 I know I’m late, but you as Italian pilots would get the The Gold Medal of Military Valour (Italian: Medaglia d'oro al valor militare)
This thing is easy mode against the russians. I don't know because I have it, I know because these things always demolish my team before i can even get to altitude.
It's really no surprise to see allied/soviet teams get slaughtered by the italians... they are still so new, almost nobody has figured out how to fight them. The soviet teams you are talking about aren't using their great low altitude speed, climbrate and acceleration properly. If they would, they would slaughter the italians, because none of their planes is competetive in the speed department at low and medium altitudes. Also, most of the italian fighters can't retain their energy well in the vertical, thanks to the large wings that give them their agility, and the high induced drag this produces. That means, if you're up against italian monoplanes in soviet monoplanes(except for the I-16 series), stick to high speed slashing attacks... one pass, haul ass. Keep extending in the horizontal outside of their gunrange, then use your speed and climbrate to get above them, rinse and repeat. If you start dogfighting them, you lose. Especially above 4km... If they are above you, simply keep your speed high and lure anyone diving onto you into a shallow dive up to about 600-700 kph, then level out slowly. The italian will have lost his altitude, and will rapidly lose the speed built up in the dive, because their top speeds, as said before, are not great at all. Just don't try steep dives, italian planes in general can get up to REALLY high speeds in a dive without breaking apart... that's historicly accurate, by the way... even the Tier 1 MC.200's can get up to 800 kph IAS in a dive. Unfortunately, most soviet players are so used to be able to dogfight and swarm most opponent teams, that they usually have no clue how to properly energy fight, and if they meet enemy planes that can turn and burn better than them, they get slaughtered. Sound familiar? Yeah, that's what japanese teams usually do to soviet teams... In other words... fight them like US teams are supposed to fight, just at lower altitudes! ... and now you know how to tackle both italians and the japanese fighters*. *)the Ki-84 is the only exception for the japanese, these are monstrous performers at altitudes below 5km in all regards except high speed controlability... they stiffen up bad above 600 kph IAS, especially in the roll axis.
Because the gun can't damage the actual ships in War Thunder, at least not AI ones. Maybe it works on player driven destroyers, but no one can test that. What it can do is kill tanks, pillboxes and the oversized "landing craft".
We're talking about the Wehrmacht here though - I don't think they HAD marines. I guess one MIGHT be able to count the Waffen SS, but they were literally just the militarized enforcers of a political party (then again, so is China's People's Liberation Army - note how in their oath of loyalty, they pledge allegiance to the Communist Party of China, NOT the People's Republic of China).
They had the 1st and 2nd Naval Infantry Dev. While not the true dedicated marines; throughout the war in the North they where reinforced my the 1st Marine battalion. In other words: They had very few actual marines.
Played with Lolidragon and DGAFF a couple of hours ago, I literally forgot to play, I was afk just watching. lol! After a rough week at work, that made my day. 102 days playing and I felt like I won the lottery! Thanks again Loli and Gaff!
Ben thedearhunter I died by Loli once in a random game and I just jumped in excitement. I fucking love these guys and seeing them in a random game was such an amazing experience even though I died.
Captain Obvious it was weird, like every time I get on and look and hope that I'd run into one of them. I mean I bought a computer and this game because they made the game look fun and amazing. Now it's an addiction and I never thought I'd witness them playing. Took me off guard and it was a perfectly timed experience.
"Isn't all land surrounded by water?" "But if you think about it, isn't all water surrounded by land?" Never thought I would hear such philosophical ruminations in a match full of crashing planes and disastrous teamwork. Anyways, to address the matter, over half the Earth's surface is covered by water, so it's not exactly accurate to describe the land mass as more abundant than water. It's just that most of us can't live in the ocean.
Nice suicidal torpedo run Green Team (since War Thunder always shows allies that are on the same team has green I'm just going to call you guys Green Team)
"When did you become target practice for the US Navy?!" Uh, these are british cruisers. >_> I think this particular model is even in World of Warships, the Tier 6 Leander class or Tier 7 Fiji class. I'm not quite sure, I usually don't count the number of barrels on the main guns while I'm getting peppered by british pom poms. ^^
Heh, I think missing stuff while commenting is completely normal for everyone. You're actually one of the most attentive youtubers I've come across, most others miss a lot more stuff, and more obvious stuff to boot... like tutorials explaining some mechanics of a game, that are trying to get their attention by throwing *BIG BLINKING TEXT* in your face. ^^
CHALLENGE: Make a squad of for P108's with 3 torps each, get on the Norway map and try to torp the 3 carriers (takes 4 torps for one carrier) = Instant win?
"There won't be any AA guns"
He says as Bo charges at a convoy of Cruisers
In quad bofors we trust
It like says this tank is disabled
* forgets to say there anti air tanks*
Hopefully they were pre 1914 cruisers.
Torpedos versus Landing craft. That is some legit top play MLG crucial contribution to victory.

Gotta give it to Italy: They had the right idea putting Torpedoes on Fighters instead of making stupidly slow and unmaneuverable Torpedo Bombers.
The only problem is that you need to go slow to drop them
They could fix that if they had help from the Japanese.
Their Torpedoes had an average max drop speed of 500kmh.
LuigianoMariano that's because the Japanese pilots were the torpedos
Uh, that was only near the end of the war and Japan was quickly running out of torpedoes and pilots alike. The tokubetsu kougeki tai was a plan of desperation. Not run of the mill operations.
Just sayin'.
Ross Antoniño it's true, I am :0

Yeah. I don’t have it, but in test flight I tried it and its performance blew me away. It can also skim the water
"The hills are alive with the sound of 109s" Great reference!
5:16 has to be the best scene of War Thunder ever...
Haha thanks, I try my best xD
"It kinda worked!" that has been an ongoing theme hasn't it? Lol
No. Stop
I have solved the BV238 quadry, they are Navy airmen! So that then means that the angry land navy people that Chris stumbled across were Marines!
I thought the correct term was "airlors"
"Angry Land Navy" is the best description for marines that I've ever seen.
4:00 that is one classy parking job, Bo.
"Numquam te habeat fiduciam Wingman" This should be the motto for TBLF.

Somehow.
HE NEEDED HIS STROMBOLI, WHY DID YOU DENY HIM HIS STROMBOLI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the stall characteristics of that plane is insane

Loli: "When you think about it, isn't ALL land surrounded by water?"
Me: "GOD.... fucking dammit, Loli..."
Precisely why I love him lol
You can also say that all water is surrounded by land, because the oceans are just gigantic pools of water in the depressions between the higher continents.
Loli's death reminds me of X-Wing pilot's deaths...
LOL, you get a gold medal rather than an Iron cross.
"Gold Medal of Military Valour"
See, this guy gets it
I love the Bonus Round in the tiny window between the tickets running dry and the match ending. Kinda reminds me of the old Dream Team tank companies in WoT that Circon used to run.

I tried xD
Lol. 😠😠😠😠😠😠
Hans was drinking beers while Jethro and Bob snuck up and took the 109s
I've gotten into the early club once again.
Oh My gosh! That taxi job at 4:10 was beautiful
Oh wow you killed me today with that in my stock P-47N :')

take the p108 with the cannon ship hunting like it was designed to do!
Mason Robirds it can't
Mig15 Bis why not?

The answer to your branch question is the MARINE CORPS.
We're talking about the Wehrmacht here though - I don't think they HAD marines.
I guess one MIGHT be able to count the Waffen SS, but they were literally just the militarized enforcers of a political party (then again, so is China's People's Liberation Army - note how in their oath of loyalty, they pledge allegiance to the Communist Party of China, NOT the People's Republic of China).

The3cats4me I was making s joke guys however thanks for the history lesson.

That scream at 10 : 45 is just so so funny

I don't think the name change was a waste of money, it took me 2 games to figure it out.
Unrelated to War Thunder, but do you think Crossout could make a return on the channel since it's now in open beta?
RaptorBeast7 He streamed it on Wednesday
The legend goes that typhoon died alone cause no one wanted to be his friend
"All water is surrounded by land." Chris~2017
This plane is so beatifull. Italian desighn is real.
Technically, it’s “All land is surrounded by water.” because the Earth is 71% water and 29% land.
7:50 I know I’m late, but you as Italian pilots would get the The Gold Medal of Military Valour (Italian: Medaglia d'oro al valor militare)
I love how there’s just a scare in the air when Bo heard Tempest haha
Bo drifting into park on the airfield. Nice
I subscribed to you because of the spin tires series just to find out you play other great games
"This is an strong and independant floatplane" made nmy day
Xd
I love your videos, keep up the good work
Cancel that gift basket. Lol the best.
Classic, thanks guys!
yea, no one saw that torpedo run ending the way it did, good job Bo o7 XD
What's your opinion on the Italian fighter line? I can't wait for the tree to go public so I can try them out for myself.
The Italian line will be enjoyable in my opinion
Oh man I'm getting tir.... Never bo just upload
Loli's scream at the end made me lol so hard XD
The hills are aliveeeeeeee with the sound of 109ssssssss
"What do we get?"
Y'all get Iron Meatballs
Epic Ninja No, we get iron pizzas mate ;)
Another great one bo!
unless the torp has a magnetic detonator it should go right under the belly of a landing craft without exploding
al capone wants his revenge

Nice suicidal torpedo run Green Team (since War Thunder always shows allies that are on the same team has green I'm just going to call you guys Green Team)
That drift at 4:07 tho
LoLi in 2089 "isn't all land surrounded by water" still woke everyone
Doing the Tokyo drifting at 4:03
ehm, you get the: Medaglia D'Onore for the italian air force

Yea I think the paint threw me off and I mis identified them as the Heavy Cruisers in the game. Commentary plus trying not to die... I miss stuff lol.
Heh, I think missing stuff while commenting is completely normal for everyone.
You're actually one of the most attentive youtubers I've come across, most others miss a lot more stuff, and more obvious stuff to boot... like tutorials explaining some mechanics of a game, that are trying to get their attention by throwing *BIG BLINKING TEXT* in your face. ^^
9k research points, that is basically what my planes cost xD
You get breadsticks Loli.
Poor Loli just wanted to go home
Ha ha ha, final blow on friendly! :)
4:02 *Tokyo Drift music plays*
Lol
Wait a second...
Lol
Lol-i
Lol-i-Dragon
Loli was a born comedian
that torpedo though LMAO. who really won that fight :)
Yes. You are loyal. You use MPH and feet. Hurray.
Wow yay
I know I'm late to the party on this one but it had me howling.
Use the M18 pls! :3
Wow. 👍🤨
He never got the Stromboli
Ok, has there been anyone in history before now who was shot down by their own torpedo?
In reality that torpedo was released too late.....
order 66 at the end
You get golden meatballs
Awesome video ! 😊
below 450 ft and above 100 ft
for torpedo runs
'no home >:L '
'AAAAAAAGH'
Nice! Can you do the Bm 13 Katyusha please?
good torp Bo!!!
Does Chris almost sound like Sean Connery to anyone else?
Not sure how to take it, so i'll just take it as a compliment ;)
CHALLENGE:
Make a squad of for P108's with 3 torps each, get on the Norway map and try to torp the 3 carriers (takes 4 torps for one carrier)
= Instant win?
Pierre Norlen only takes 3, for the p108B that's 1 carrier per plane. Or half the cruiser fleet in one go
Cool
you should try and land on an enemy carrier and block them from landing
