    Some extra info on hidden vehicles as a long time player (since Oct. 2013): three of the seven SM.79 bombers now hidden in the German tech tree were removed in patch 1.35 (Dec. 2013), as they were very similar aircraft only there to inflate the number of "unique" vehicles in game for the Guiness World Record. I only have four of these variants in the German tree. In addition, the USSR had a couple of these bombers, two variants of the Yer-2 (which I don't have), and two variants of the SB-2M bomber (which I do have). Another thing, two of the German-Italian fighters (CR.42 and C.202) have additional unlockable skins the Italian tree lacks: the CR.42 can equip a Belgium 1940 skin, and the C.202 can equip a Luftwaffe skin with German markings and everything. Additionally, there are actually two hidden Gladiators, not just one: Gladiator IIF (in the video), and IIS (not in the video, I only own that one). They, alongside the regular Gladiator, were Britain's original reserve aircraft, the IIS was made available for an event celebrating the birthday of the Gladiator in 2015 (thats how I got it). UK also has the D.521, a gift copy-paste of the D.520. Finally, 4 of the 5 major nations used to have four reserve aircraft, that was cut down to three. USA only had three, Germany had the He.51 C-1/L, USSR has the I-15bis, UK had the Nimrod Mk.II, and Japan had the Ki-10 IIC

I tried to apply for the closed testing but they didn't allow me back then, so I only played the open. I was really anticipating the game back then. Now I don't play it because it is too expensive to me, absolutely impossible to get to anything except low BR just by grind. But I still love the game and have fond memories of playing as a kid it back in 2013-2015.

Turns out a plane like the A-10 is actually really bad at killing tanks and surviving against a conventional military force, but pretty dang good at fighting insurgents that can't fight back with its long loiter time and large payload. Nowadays the A-10 is very much used as a COIN tool, but originally it was designed for destroying tanks in Germany in a WWIII situation. When the A-10 was finally able to fight tanks, even shitty old tanks in the Gul War, it turned out that it was actually really, really bad at it.

      @@NXBXD That is objectively not true. In the Gulf War, the A-10 claimed more tank kills than the Iraqis actually fucking had. That means they were lying. The A-10 had no camera or thermal imaging system. The pilots were literally finding targets with binoculars. The gun is extremely inaccurate and it has poor penetration. There is not evidence that they EVER killed a tank with the 30mm in combat. They pretty much only scored kills with guided missiles that many other planes can delivery better because they actually fucking have camera systems. The actual combat record of the A-10 is abysmal and riddled with more friendly fire incidents than any other aircraft because, again, the A-10 had no way of identifying targets. They also no camera system to actually be able to tell if the thing they thought they killed actually died. They just attacked a tank and assumed they killed it without actually having any way to tell if it was dead. They would them go and report that kill with no proof. It's believed that the vast majority of air to ground kills were done by Aardvarks and Strike Eagles. The A-10 is a very cool aircraft, but its actual service record is quite poor. Sure it can shoot a big gun at dudes with AKs pretty well, but against literally anything else it has a very hard time bring effective.

    Should have added this as the last one, also coincides with the transport planes you mentioned… war thunder is the successor to birds of steel which is a single player game and where a majority of their content came from for aviation as that it was all only aviation… if you want to take a look at how war thunder originally was in 2013 then look at that game and it essentially looked the same

    I got that TU-2 from the closed beta and also 5 of that SM-79 bombers (still some not bought, only researched) and 6 italian fighters in the German tech tree CR.42/G.50/C.200/C.202

  • @TomPrickVixen
    @TomPrickVixen Рік тому +2

    I started playing at the Open Beta phase of the game, and yes ramming did counted as a kill for both noobs involved. The account I use today was my 2nd, that i created in mid 2013 (i used the origin one to experiment), and even on that i have many of the now hidden stuff, like all the SB-2 bombers (once were 6+1), all the Italian planes (7 bomber + 7 fighter) in the German tree (with their unlockable skins, shame that the updated M.C. 202's German skin not as good looing as the old was + the fighters are all grouped to rank 1), Gladiator Mk II + Mk IIS, all Ki-10s, D.521, the tech-tree OS2Us... ect. But I only started to take active part in events after the tanks were added (tough i was always picky what I want to unlock), but the "crafting trash" was always outside of my time, and nerve capacity, so only the lower rewards i got from those like the "F224 Lübeck" (and nothing from the last one, cuz nobody brought anything, i put - all - on sale on the market).
    I still demand that GAYjin should reconsider some of the older premiums' BR do to how the game changed + how it preforms among the many vehicles that got added since that premium. Yes I'm looking at the Harrier GR.1 (too), without RWR or countermeasures on 10.0 - today; + fly's like a brick!

    I quit playing the game for almost a year because the Harrier Gr.1 dropped the same day that I got my F-86A5. Imagine grinding for years to finally get a good jet and be able to play Sabers vs. Migs, the ultimate in gunfighting, and then spend the entire time you're stock getting SRAAM'd every single match. I'm still pissed because the F-86A5 seems like the perfect gunfighting jet and high speed, high performance gunfighting is what I want more than anything else from War Thunder, but even today, it still faces Mig 21s, SU-7s, the Milan, and more. It's straight up unplayable and I'm pissed about it because it has the potential to be my favorite plane in the game if it weren't for 9.3 being so cancerous in an 8.3 jet.

    The old German P-47 was removed because it was/is ahistorical. The Germans did get their hands on a P-47 but it wasn't one with the bubble cockpit, and way back when Gaijin added that plane as a premium, they only had the bubble canopy versions of the plane they had created for the American tech tree. Only much much later when the non-bubble canopy P-47s got added to the game did Gaijin finally replace the German version at the same time.
