    Since 1.79, 23mm cannons that have been previously useless in my hands finally get some respect! Ammo count is still low however, so this is a match where I really try to conserve ammo. My team is trolly as well as you will see.
    All in all, La9 still doesn't deserve 6.0 BR. It used to be 5.7 and I still wouldn't say it's a better than average 5.7.

    I just bought the La-11 since it's on sale and seems to do most of what the La-9 does but at 5.3. That being said, so far I'm not sure what the La-11 can do that my 4.7 La-7 can't...

    That is extraordinary well played! I especially liked how you dragged the F-82 out on the edge. Generally to drag opponents into bad positions is a very underestimated move for a lot of casual players like myself. Really, what was he thinking about? :-) One vs one against La-9 at low altitude with no energy advantage?? Probably he is used to players going for the head on:-) Same goes for AD-pilots, they way you sort out this "problem" with no risk taken whatsoever is just superb.
    If more players watched this channel War Thunder RB Air would be even more exciting, it would bring more evenly contested and much longer battles, the way I like it.

      IMO its the best looking Spitfire/Seafire, in a downtier it's actually quite nice (Spaded), and it also can dive up to 900kmh TAS, which is higher than Bf-109 I think.
      So it's not all that bad, even it an uptier the high dive speed can catch jets due to its 6.0 BR.

    • @AdamTheEnginerd

    There is a 1 trick that helps with ammo capacity in La-9 you can bind two buttons for 2 of your guns separately its very useful in sim cause most of the time you shot from very close range and put only a few bullets and it seems to be more efficient as you only shoot ammo from two of your guns and then you have another 2 instead of losing ammo from 4 guns at the same time

    • @AdamTheEnginerd

    Honestly, as an AB player watching this: I guess I'll continue to avoid playing RB, at least for a couple of years or so... Compared to the skills shown here, the likelihood to embarrass myself is a clear 100%. Hands down some of the best aiming and trigger discipline I have ever seen. O7

      @AdamTheEnginerd  6 років тому +2

      Hahaha thanks! But hey, I missed a couple of times here!
      But seriously, I highly recommend playing RB. You get a much better feeling of how aircraft behave, no lead marker so there's more thought to defensive flying, and more teamwork (usually). Don't let what pilots like me show discourage you, it's less than 1% of RB players that can do this.
      I started off as a noob like everyone else in RB, but it didn't take long for me to become more useful than the average player on my team. Just don't start off in tier 3-4 which are way less forgiving in terms of aircraft and pilot skills in general.

But since I come back to WT now and then and WT is going to be a thing for at least the next 120 years, I haven't abandoned all hope.

    Do you always think things like "now is time for a reversal" or "i'll bait him into the vertical"? I mostly don't, just do whatever maneuver feels right at the moment, without thinking "oh, now the correct thing is to do a flat scissors"

    • @AdamTheEnginerd

      I don't think it's good because even though it has a good top speed, its acceleration is bad and getting there takes ages. Also, it has similar turn to the Ta152C but can't really use flaps to help I think.

    What's the difference between true airspeed and indicated airspeed? And which one should I use?

    • @AdamTheEnginerd
      @AdamTheEnginerd  6 років тому +1

      True airspeed (TAS) is the speed you move through the air, it's equal to your ground speed when there's no wind.
      Indicated airspeed (IAS) is the speed your aircraft "feels". Since one component in lift and drag is air density, and air density lowers as altitude increases, you need a higher TAS at higher altitude for your aircraft to be feeling the same lift in drag. Essentially, your aircraft will handle the same at the same IAS, no matter the altitude. You will pull as many Gs at 300km/h IAS whether you're at 0km or 6km altitude.
      TAS=IAS at sea level, but TAS>IAS at any altitude above sea level.
      You should use IAS, it's easier to use.

    I've gotten several nasty surprises from AD4s. These days I'm probably overly cautious of them. They seem to be able to point their noses up at surprisingly low speeds, even though I imagine their wing loading is highish.

    • @AdamTheEnginerd
      @AdamTheEnginerd  6 років тому +1

      The fact that they are naval aircraft and that they need to take off from carriers with ordnance requires a relatively low wing loading without ordnance, and the wing design allows higher lift coefficient in order to take off and land safer (at lower speeds). That's why they can pull relatively hard, but lose more speed by doing it.

    • @AdamTheEnginerd
      @AdamTheEnginerd  6 років тому +1

      I always use 400m because I think the convergence value changes where your reticle is, so you're better off keeping a constant value for all aircraft since at short range (under 300m), aiming gets complicated (you need to have your reticle over the enemy aircraft to hit due to the camera angle).

    • @henrycastle6584
      @henrycastle6584 6 років тому

      Yeah I noticed that you had some trouble when you had to shoot at closer range. Well i cant say I have noticed a difference in the aiming reticle in regards to the convergence. Maybe I am used to have different convergence for different planes, based on where the armament is placed. I go for 500m on the 50cals that are wing mounted, 600m for cannons like the ones the Italians or the British have on their wings and 800 for anything with nose mounted guns. I guess its a matter of habit.

He got me low and slow but I was super confident about easily taking him down. Wasn’t to be. He put up one hell of a fight. He ended up being my 5th kill in my only ace match with the A7M1.

The trick is to push the enemy team down/lure them down and use your superior maneuverability and climb at low altitude to defeat individual enemy planes. Russian planes are quite fast at low altitude as well, you can run from UK aircraft.
