BRITAIN GETS A LOW TIER JET NOW? - Strikemaster in War Thunder
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лис 2023
- The Strikemaster Mk.88 in War Thunder is the top reward for this seasons Battle Pass. It's a low tier Jet for the British Tech Tree at BR 6.3!
For what is essentially a training plane strapped with pretty decent ordnance, it can quite easily pass as a combat effective plane. So long as all your fighting is prop planes and WW2 Jets.
It gets Snebs, 500lb bombs, weird rockets and even napalm. The problem is, the defensive armament are 2 very underwhelming 7.62mm machineguns that may as well be BB guns.
It's a good lineup filler due to Britain's distinct lack of Strike plane for this BR rating. Just don't expect to be able to tussle with other planes in GRB for too long.
For AirRB, please check out Defyn's video. It's pretty good for that! :)

Rockets or Bombs? Get my Decal using this link and get 3% off too! store.gaijin.net/catalog.php?category=WarThunder&partner=Oddbawz&partner_val=2bpa5qx4
Rockets all the way ofc. Where im at in NZ it flys all the time! i dont really believe its top speed as the RNZAF told the org im a part of its top speed was ~850..
Both. You can take bombs and T-80 rockets together for a lovely weapons load! Managed to get a 13 kill game with those things XD The T-80 rockets have overpressure too, so are brilliant vs open top vehicles, esp spaa.
Considering that Gaijin is switching rocket trajectory basicly every morning. Atleast it feels like it.. same goes for bombs. But I still prefer "laying eggs" on tanks, I am so done with Gaijins inconsistency I just "scrape off" my bombs on the side of enemy tanks. Even though the "can´t release bombs when on the ground" does screw me over every now and then.
I have Tiny Tim bias
Do more FRENCH !
I can't believe they added a New Zealand jet, even as a Kiwi 🤣
Same fr
It was about time, they´re too afraid of the power of the Bob Semple Tank so they had to substitute.
@@Fischbroetchen2k true
Same
Wait, you also watch Dollarplays right?
Surprised they added this but haven't added the Cessna Dragonfly yet, would probably have almost the exact same performance though tbh
Fr that is my favorite plane it would be awesome
Probably because the US doesn't really need it, they have enough attackers at this br range already. Britain needed this. But I hope they add the dragonfly though
I thought that's what it was at first. Those things are crazy loud!
They could add the Grumman OV-1 Mohawk, just to piss off the Air Force
No Magister?
Hey dude! Great to see this.
As an FYI, the Strikemaster is actually the armed version of a Jet Provost (the training plane) and saw service in several theatres :)
Rhodesian also use jet provosts in yhe bush wars
@@aker1993 I'm pretty sure they didn't (I'm happy to be proved otherwise :)) . I know they had Percival Provosts (the prop that predated it) but African operators were Kenya, Ivory Coast, Botswana and Sudan. That said, I recall reading about jets used in the bush war but I believe they were Hawker Hunters. If you've got any first hand info, I'd love to read it though if you can pop a link over? :)
For a 1st generation jet trainer, first entering service in 1955, the Hunting Aircraft Jet Provost has come a long way!
Great to finally see a home team vehicle in WT. Tu meke! 👍
yessir up the wahs
Tu Meke indeed.
Yeah it's great. Don't need all the maori virtue signalling though lmao
@@N4CR5 Do you really think Tu Meke is virtue signalling lmfaooo
Like you mentioned at 3:20, crewmember said it. The new crewmember voice helps a lot with spotting especially air targets.
mk88: *dosent fly well/fast...*
Kiwis: "what did you expect, our national animal is a flightless bird"
It's even on the roundel, what did people expect
I absolutely am loving the Strikemaster, as you say the main issue is that doing CAS it slows you down which means that you have issues vs anything challenging you which makes you need to dump your weapons or die. I am loving pretty much all the weapons but would recommend the T-80 or mighty mouse rockets for their overpressure abilities.
Also while its only 2 machineguns, if you are in a 1v1 its more than enough vs most planes you will face.
then you CAS wrong and need to learn how to turn around without dumping 150km/h of speed.
@@Dudeman9339 Many planes you face have the ability to catch you, if you dont control your speed you will snap a wing off when bombing with it. This plane will struggle to keep speed or turn with a full payload in a fight with somebody using a 1 drop fighter-bomber.
Fighting a 3.0 plane is a bit different to fighting uptiers against 7.0 planes. I have had a couple aces in the plane, I am pretty sure I can fight with it fairly well. But you only have a couple 762 and you will not face just 1 plane, but 3-4 fairly often and at least 1 of them will be faster then you can be.
This plane is tailor-made for Ground Battles.
Ya exactly what I thought @@whatdothlife4660
I need this plane so bad but the battlepass might end before i can get to it :(
i absolutely love how this thing looks. even if it's not great it's aesthetic is so sick
You really should see Defyn in this thing... He is mental... the 4 gun pods with a Defyn piloting...
Now to keep with the same theme, the AT-37 would be a good add. The "Converter", (converts fuel into horrible noise) or the Tweet has heavier guns and can carry a good load of weapons on the wings. Our building was about 100 yards from where they were parked on base, the sound of those birds were truly terrible!
Its an actual unique vehicle. And it gives the UK a decent strike plane for that BR.
0:43 is it just me that finds this plane goofy looking 😂 love ya Odd. Just another video I’m gonna enjoy of yours 😎
Thanks for the Ratel 90 video😂 love your work, hope your videos just keep getting better!
I love your content. Especially these CAS main videos
I saw one of these at the Wings Over Wairarapa airshow, pretty neat jet.
6:51 been waiting for that dlc forever man, so hyped to play te western front!
This thing is super versatile, good dogfighter for ARB, good ground attacker for GRB and it can also take out an entire base with its napalm bombs for braindead grinding
good friend of mine flew an A-37 over the Ho Chi Mihn trail from 67 thru 69
Some planes are exceptionally unstable now, the P-47's for example also have huge wing imbalance now. Hardly can pull out from a drive after dropping a bomb.
I love trainers converted into strike aircraft. Wish they had more like the Dragonfly or an armed Texan/Harvard (other than the Wirraway)
Yet again asking for a video on the Strv m/42 EH, I'd love to see you play that!
You're doing a million dollar job. Keep it up. This is the way
The Strikemaster truly is one of the planes of all time. It gives my Skywarden vibes... just not quite as insane
I would love seeing videos that show how you go about completing battlepass challenges
20:37 - my goodness, that thing has a derpy face from the front (crew "eyes" and all)!
I have a feeling this thing will do wierd things to air RB. Hopefully that includes reaching all the Ju288 bots (yes, owning a ju288 instantly turns you into a bot) before they can score a base.
New CAS? I can hear the anguished Spookston noises from here.
I’ve been looking through your channel videos and haven’t seen a video posted about the M60A1. Well actually there’s alot of American tanks you haven’t covered yet, will be great to see some of them from your POV!
I second this a lot of tanks in the American tree would make for an interesting if not sometimes challenging video
Love your vids odd keep up the good work
I want some gates of hell footage from us Odd. Looks like a great game and would enjoy your coverage of it.
19:30 ish, I think they've made hitting an enemy's smoke grenades crits now? I had it in a couple of games yesterday I think
I think this battle pass did it right, light trainers/strike planes should be added on the game, but under a battle pass in order not to have games with ww2 vehicles filled with 60-80s plane, hope the same for the italian tree.
"He'll just keep coming back in increasingly worse vehicles" --OddBawz just roasted my entire playstyle, lol
Randomly hearing your pup bork in your videos is my favorite Easter egg in your content😂
Oddbawz! I have a challenge idea for you. Your impact on matches is huge. Also, matches that are close are a lot more interesting to watch. Nail biting. So how about you deliberately cripply yourself for a certain number of minutes in each game. Perhaps you can't leave spawn. Or perhaps you can't fire your main gun. Something like that for enough minutes that your impact is neglibile until about the middle of the game where you have to work really hard to win it.
I love to see you use rockets. can i request a showcase of your rockets skills with the I-185 and/or the yak 7b?
IRL the airframe techs would be taking you as the pilot out back to "discuss" the brush and weeds stuck in your bird's intakes.😮😅
Outstanding game play 😂
they'd be a bit more pissed at having a bent airframe to fix with all the overG pulled lol
I love that thumbnail, with the forehead master
I was completely wrong. Got information about the "create" button in modification. Enjoying Strikemaster even better now. Thanks for reply . I'm an idiot who hadn't noticed this.
cant believe that a strike aircraft that britiain needs for filling the tech line is a battle pass vehicle, gaijin in a nutshell
They should add the xp54 and xp56 :) to very interesting prototype’s planes that were made during the attempted production of xp55
I love how a single .50 cal would've been 10 times better than x2 7.6 machine guns lmao.
Unfortunately, this plane is very small and if you've never seen an M2, they're fucking huge. It's just a packaging issue that comes from arming a plane that was never really meant to be armed.
Not gonna lie it is quite funny on those times you try to showcase an aircraft but end up spending half the time in a tank because you just do so well and survive unlikely encounters
Love the CAS videos.
yeah as an old kiwi i've forked out for the battle pass to get this. I remember them in Singapore when we were stationed there when my dad was in the navy
If you want to get the snob rockets at the beginning of the game take the yesterverk I think it’s called it’s the first South African aa and drive it to cal a point since it can travel almost 60mph
Love the video as ever!
"... we've got American desert, but it's cloudy." - Gaijin has lately decided that all weather is Scottish. If they had a moon map, it would be cloudy with light drizzle.
"Players think our map design is awful, what can we do to improve them?" "I've got it! What if we make it so you can't see a fucking thing!"
I was waiting for you to play this kiwi jet
Best voice of warthunder right here
Would love to see a Gates of Hell video lol, one of my absolute favourite games
Now we just need our kiwi A-4!
I’m just hyped for the ratel gameplay
It looks extremely fun, too bad I don't have anything on the brit tree...but i am gonna give it a try on air rb
I wish for the crew member voice lines, that they had voice actors from the nation that the vehicle operated with. Like South African for the Ratel 90, or Australian for the AC IV. It wouldn't really improve the game as such, but it would be a neat mechanic
That's already a thing, A.C.IV crew are definitely Australian, Concept and the SARCs are definitely Saffas so I imagine the Ratel/Olifant etc crews are as well
@@joshwebb8871 oh really? I only mention it because the crew of Odd's Ratel 90 in this video didn't sound South African but British, unless I wasn't listening that closely lol
I clicked to see the plane and forgot that now YT will be bombarding me with WarThunder gameplays again
They should add the "Sky Warden" and the Super Tucano to the USA tech tree.
Both are great aircraft taht would fit in a lower br tech tree imo.
Ok let me tell you. Trainer jets make the best CAS planes. The US Air Force did it in Vietnam and it was really good.
Bawz missed an opportunity to bring out the M109, Charioteer or of course the doom barn on this one 😂
Love the charioteer. Always upsets a Maus player when you shoot straight through their turret. Once solid shot jank gets fixed it'll easily be the deadliest 6.3
@@wolfseye14 *If solid shot jank gets fixed knowing Gaijin
@@AxlePlaysGames that's very true
10:12 From this moment, you can see OddBawZ's pure skill. Controlling three enemies in a vehicle that is not suitable for this is not easy.
or just brain dead enemies... I would have pushed after the first shot to catch him on the reload.
Was thinkin of going for this one
the crit was his smoke.... if you shoot the smoke it counts as a crit thats also kinda funny tbh ^^
This thing and the centurion mk 2 goes craaaaaaazyyyy😩
Out here palying paintball with 7.62, should drop 2 racks of ffar for the gunpods honestly.
Gaijin knows us too well. They know the thing we want the most is modern vehicles fighting stuff 40 years older. I hope one day we can get a biplane with AIM-9Ls.
Gaijin has graduated from ghost shells they cannot seem to get rid of to ghost rockets and missiles.
"Its very basic bitch this thing"
Oddbawz 2023
Lmfao
>Trainer jet
>Basic
Yeah, that was a real surprise to me too.
I flew in this thing in Victoria and it was an ex-NZAF trainer
Strikemaster is alot faster at sea level than those props you mentioned. The stat cards show top speed at optimal altitude. At sea level jets as a general rule are much faster than props. Strikemaster will smoke a Spit and Do 335 at sea level.
A-37 Dragonfly when?!
Odd it's been a while since you taken out the stb-1 or Type 74 (C): Day 3
Hey, if they can put this in, can they put the A-37 Dragonfly in? Very similar performance and guns (7.62, but a Gatling style)
Will you make a video guide about how to use rockets?
Just today i got to see the strike master at the Hood aerodrome in new Zealand
Was it strikemaster 72?
@@mamingakuri2436 I believe so
Gates of Hell mentioned, lets gooooo!
I am largely too impatient when I play vehicles like this. I feel like if I haven't haphazardly dropped all of my ordinance within the first couple passes, I'm not doing enough. I need to implement a more patient strategy that prioritizes airspeed.
Strokemaster 😂😂😂 I love it
Got killed by it in 5.7, I was so confused, first jet i had ever seen in real game
Cries in AR-234B / HE-162 @same BR
hearing the same lil pew pews that you will use on reserve british biplanes on a jet is hilarious.
Pretty sure i have seen this jet in another game the Play Station 1 game: Wing Over 2 it was called the 'Tweet' back in the early 2000's
pretty sure the nickname tweet or tweety bird is for a different trainer jet the T/A37
@@rizqialvaro3874 yeah in Vietnam ground crew and pilots called the T-37 the super tweet
Not showing the snebs in action on this plane is like a war crime 💀
Would you please make a video about T-44-122 please? I believe you've made video about regular T-44 and T-44-100, but haven't yet about T-44-120..... (3x)
Whenever a new vehicle comes out for ground RB in the tiers I'm currently playing, I get nervous because I know there's a good chance a WT content creator I watch will be making a video on it and I'll wind up in a match with them. Less that I'm worried about getting stomped by them (I'm average at best, I get stomped on the regular) and more that my name could be showing up in one of my many embarrassing deaths or at the bottom of the scoreboard in a match where I was cursed out the gate or simply failed to hit the On switch for the meat computer.
It's like if someone came to report on a sports competition you're in and you know that any truly embarrassing fuckups or total lack of score are gonna be in the paper the next morning.
The match is fleeting, but the embarrassment of tripping and eating shit in front of a crowd is eternal 😂
This thing shred in air RB
I love this plane!!!
More aircraft AirPlay please
Please play the f-111a aardvark in ground rb
I would love to have one IRL, but have no use for it in game.
About god dam time they added a New Zealand jet now where is the A4 Kahu Skyhawk with Aim-9Ls and mavericks
As an actual Kiwi, I fully endorse the idea to have anything from my home land of New Zealand within this game.
Can you show off the f6f 3.3 American CAS strike aircraft absolutely bonker armaments at such a low tier
Hey Odd, will you ever do Air RB content again?
rp3's are hard to aim but no matter vehicle if its a center mass pen its a kill
19:16 i think you exploded his smoke grenades, it counts as a crit hit.
poor Bucket_Chicken in that last game, you killed him then said he'd come back for you, then you killed him and he got you, then he pancaked into the ground, then you killed him in his AA not long after that spawn XD
Please play the low tier t-80 i love playing it even tho it makes u suffer
Talk about maximum sealclubbing
