I have a few ideas P-47 close air support (ground realistic) B-17 bomber formation. battle of berlin (vehicle suggestions: IS-2, T-34-85, Tiger II, Tiger I E) tokyo fire bombing with B-25, cold war era clash. night bombing raid vietnam war. Helicopter assault. Dogfight over a tank battle. ( these are just some ideas, if you want i have more.)
I love how all the P-51s pulled off for the single fighter, and then you realized it was just one- and there was more on the way. Honest reenactment of cocky fighter squadrons loll
I play since 2014 and back then we used to have events that were like this...search on UA-cam " War Thunder Flight of the Swallows " It was an War Thunder Event where the Germans would spawn with 262's ( if you had the 262 unlocked of course ) and the Americans with P-51's to scort a B-17 formation that was going to attack the airfield. Man it was fun !
Search for videos of the event Guardian Angel. Same thing but the Germans would get 109's, 190's etc. I really don't know why they stopped those events, they were immersive.
Me being a b-17 bomber pilot in war Thunder was in utter shock how your tail didn’t just pop off after 2 shots hit u but you took like 200000 rounds and stayed in one piece
Lol if it this was before the economy changes I wonder how much silver lions would have been lost. Great video Vadact, been playing War Thunder for 2 years and although the grind is a pain its a joy to play sometimes and the P51 h should have been used to escort and the 109 should have been the k4 or an me262 but the cannons would be devestating! Please play more War Thunder!
This is why the red tails sat above the bombers and went for the fighters instead of flying full formation with the bombers 😂. You can’t attack something behind and above you.
Your fighters kept leaving the bombers.. Remember what made the Tuskegee grp so good "They Never left the Bombers". Also Bombers getting too far apart, you can't mass fire on an attacker or cover for each other all spread out. Looked fun though :).
you never want the escort to break off far so when more bf109 come back in the p51s can stick with you so you dont die becasue its more of a casualty if you die and not th p51
They are also beeing attacked by bf 109s and I'm pretty sure b29s were only used in the pacific theater, but if they were b17s both the escort and the enemies would make much more sense, good video tho
P51s did occasionally show up in the Pacific theatre and escort B29s. However, it was relatively rare as B29's would cruise above the service ceiling of Japanese aircraft to and from their targets.
It's cool how the Germans actually followed their historical tactics. The bf109s were capable of out pacing and out climbing the p51s so they would swoop on from above and speed of (hopefully with a kill) before the p51s could even do anything to help, over time the Americans instead just doubled down on how many bombers they had trying to use the sheer number of targets, and ofcourse gunners on those for protection instead
Altitude is your friend in the B-29. Idk their service ceiling in game, but they could fly up to over 31,000 feet. You have no jet stream to mess with in-game, so the enemy fighters might have problems working at that height.
I think i have an actual tip for more accuracy, and it is drop the bombs a little early so u have more chance to hit the fortress, but so far your skills alone makes me want to play with you, i am downloading war thunder on steam already and cant wait to be in one of ur videos. I feel like if i play with u guys i will be a little too far ahead because i usually go for the speed as a bomber but i will just choose the mustang instead.
It's similar to the Moscow Raid Timeline 10:01AM - The first 10 B-62 Bombers take off 11:09AM-1:05PM - all 700 B-62 Bombers form up, Escort Squadrons of SBBT-85 Fighters Form up, and start to fly towards Moscow WIP But I think I made my point clear
Fun fact about the b29: by 1945, the deaths were higher in training rather than actual combat, and also it cost 1.1 billion more dollars than the Manhattan Project Mp cost was 1.9b B29 cost was 3.0b
4:35 = R.I.P Samurai! Greatest bomber of all How did he died? “A Bf - 109( if im right) hit Samurai back Left Wing and fell” Samurai, Greatest Bomber of all -Shaun
That one BF-109 that got all the P-51s after them, that was smart because the rest of the 109's could have gone in to attack the bombers while the P-51 escort was focused on a separate party of distractors. Exactly the move that the German fighters did in Red Tails. Plus the P-51's kinda didn't do their job, they were the escorts to stay with the bombers, but instead they chased after 1. Leaving the bombers vulnerable to enemy fire, they should have split groups Another thing is that during WWII, there was a mission that German pilots crashed straight into bombers, which I assume is not allowed.
next time we need the possibility to talk to each other, escort with one another and the escort with the bombers. and next time maybe more bombers^^ unfortunatly i am not in the video, except my name tag is visible😂 if there is a next war thunder video, i would like to take a part again :)
would be nice if the attackers were also jets, maybe then the air cover should be more planes. but i love these red tails scenarios when germany is using me-262 jets and the p-51 mustangs have to get them.
P51's chased, thats a nono, point of escort is to drive off the attack on the bombers not chase for the kill then as you seen the formation is broken and bombers defenseless. But that being said the bombers should have reformed with the escort after first attack. Great watch bro, life of a bomber guy in this game is a bitch.
@@belgianfried 20mms have mine shot too. 151s are a main weapon of bf109s until the g series is when 30mm are available to be used in the nose in the 108s, you seem to forget 20mm is considered cannons. And that bomber can face those bf109 gs. In real life they fought me 262s
More WarThunder? If so what should we do next?
I have a few ideas
P-47 close air support (ground realistic)
B-17 bomber formation.
battle of berlin (vehicle suggestions: IS-2, T-34-85, Tiger II, Tiger I E)
tokyo fire bombing with B-25,
cold war era clash.
night bombing raid
vietnam war.
Helicopter assault.
Dogfight over a tank battle.
( these are just some ideas, if you want i have more.)
tanks vadact plsssssssssssss
Reenact the movie fury
Battle of Los Angelles2
Ucrane trying to defend there country when Russia is trying to bomb it and the USA is trying to help ucrane by sending attack planes
"Hold on they're friendlies!" "Oh my gosh he's coloured." -Red Tails reference
Best movie ever
Good to see people can still appreciate a good movie.💯
Really just the best WW2 aviation movie
That reference was perfect
PhlyDaily also made the same reference in one of his videos
4:44 - As Samurai went into that rolling dive I was legit like "Anybody see any chutes? Did anyone SEE ANY PARACHUTES!?!"
Oh no
Almost like a movie
I love how all the P-51s pulled off for the single fighter, and then you realized it was just one- and there was more on the way. Honest reenactment of cocky fighter squadrons loll
reminds me of the start of red tails
When’s war thunder gonna make this an official mode. Bunch of bombers with escorts vs a bunch of interceptors. Would be great
I play since 2014 and back then we used to have events that were like this...search on UA-cam " War Thunder Flight of the Swallows "

Agreed
Me being a b-17 bomber pilot in war Thunder was in utter shock how your tail didn’t just pop off after 2 shots hit u but you took like 200000 rounds and stayed in one piece
Because the one that shoot him is bf 109 E1 variant. Before f4 variant, bf109 really do have unreliable bullet or not having an auto cannon
@@kammmmal211 oh ok thanks
Skill issue
Well…Vadact was flying a B-29 rather than a B-17…
Lol if it this was before the economy changes I wonder how much silver lions would have been lost.

Cost them 0 silver lions, cuz its customs
Ohh
how do i equip rockets i know how to equip bombs but not rockets plz help
Learn English please
8:30 best part for me right now looks epic
This is why the red tails sat above the bombers and went for the fighters instead of flying full formation with the bombers 😂. You can’t attack something behind and above you.
Fr they should have been above 🤦♂️that was the entire strategy of a p51
Another l legendary video from the legend himself...keep up the good work vadact!!
Hello there
Looked like the opening scene out of Redtails lol. All the escorts just go for the initial wave and leave the bombers defenseless lol.
I escorted an injured bomber back to our base once. Nothing crazy happened but they appreciated my help and it felt good 😃
i always wanted to do that but most bombers in pub games are so high my planes cant reach them before they die or get too far away to catch up
You should do the same but with modern airplanes that would be sick
Then he will have to spend more money to get jets so it up to him
Won't work, Air-to-Air missiles are too OP
@@robertbalazslorincz8218 Use the Machine gun then
WT vet here, jets don’t use mgs, they use cannons of 20mm and 30mm caliber that absolutely shreds things with one burst
Wouldn't be fun at all
Your fighters kept leaving the bombers.. Remember what made the Tuskegee grp so good "They Never left the Bombers". Also Bombers getting too far apart, you can't mass fire on an attacker or cover for each other all spread out. Looked fun though :).
Which they did in the movie to give em their entrance but irl they didn't leave but were requesting more fighters to help them last more
@@cristobalalvarez5491 :)
4:46 your cry when sumurai went down was so tragic
Ngl, I sorta feel bad for the people that will get sucked into the eternal grind and suffering of WT
This was probably one of the most cinematic multiplayer gameplays I've ever seen. Great job. 👍
"Hold your fire, they're ours."
"Red tails?"
"He's colored.."
-Red Tails Reference
This should be a legit game mode. It will bring bombers back to life.
you never want the escort to break off far so when more bf109 come back in the p51s can stick with you so you dont die becasue its more of a casualty if you die and not th p51
Pls do a DDay with Sherman's 75 and Tiger 1s
Last time I played warthunder there was no D-Day map
@@pilot_bruh576 You haven't played war thunder for long enough
@@pilot_bruh576 there is tho. Its the Normandy map if I remember. I get it quite often
@@fennisiaw huh never played it probably because still low br on Sweden
@@pilot_bruh576 yeah, low tier doesnt have access to all the maps. About 3.0 ish should be where you will start seeing it
4:37 thats an epic way to go out... the air show recently... 😦
This was sick! More warthunder pleaseee! This brought me back to this channel, I loved the plane videos and sec ops mission you did
You have war thunder? Finally a game I have so I can maybe do these sessions with you
I dont think p51’s would escort b-29’s since they were more common in the European theatre as opposed to the Pacific theatre
(Correct me if im wrong)
B29s never really had true escorts, they would just cruise at high altitudes
They are also beeing attacked by bf 109s and I'm pretty sure b29s were only used in the pacific theater, but if they were b17s both the escort and the enemies would make much more sense, good video tho

Samurai going down was so cinematic
10:06 Yeah, i still remember that COD mission!
9:06 THE TRUST IS 101% THATS SO RARE
MORE!! Tank assault. Air raid. Sea battle.
It’s a good day when vad post a video
Vadact:He crash into me!!
All war thunder bomber player:First time?
i love how all the p-51s immediately abandoned you and let you die. typical fighter behavior
You're lucky to have the B-29
I think i have an actual tip for more accuracy, and it is drop the bombs a little early so u have more chance to hit the fortress, but so far your skills alone makes me want to play with you, i am downloading war thunder on steam already and cant wait to be in one of ur videos.

Here's a warning: The bombers in this game seem to be more fragile than you expect. So expect to be shot down by a fighter in a few hits. 😐
I remember his jc3 back in the day, I love this guy
when all the P51's left it reminded me of the start of redtails
It's similar to the Moscow Raid
Timeline
10:01AM - The first 10 B-62 Bombers take off
11:09AM-1:05PM - all 700 B-62 Bombers form up, Escort Squadrons of SBBT-85 Fighters Form up, and start to fly towards Moscow

But I think I made my point clear
wait wtf... this was sick
“I got video, it’s better… it’s like 3D screenshots” - Vadact 2022
Fun fact about the b29: by 1945, the deaths were higher in training rather than actual combat, and also it cost 1.1 billion more dollars than the Manhattan Project
Mp cost was 1.9b
B29 cost was 3.0b
When Samurai started to fall that was kinda cool ngl
Man is out here LIVING my warthunder dream
Vad Drop half your load when bombing a base keep it up i love your War Thunder Vids!
let the death of samurai be remembered in all of our hearts
4:35 = R.I.P Samurai! Greatest bomber of all
How did he died?

if your gonna die take some of the enemy down with you
This was fun to watch!
you should make some video in enlisted, that would be cool af
Red tails is on Disney plus if anyone was wondering where to watch
Why do I feel like Vad would make great World of Warships: Legends videos
This reminds me of red tails, because all the 51s broke formation to get one bandit then they had no protection XD.
This is the best war thunder vid ever
Is very beautiful the B-29
me: alright ima head to school
me when i get outside: sees bombers and crap
me: oh hell no
POV: You're in Ukraine
Oh wow good to see u again. Never thought u would play warthunder. I enjoyed watching your just cause 3 mods when I was 11years old.
Awesome video, you gotta play more War Thunder and do more bomber escort/formation videos. Keep up the good work!!
4:34 that one scene in memphis belle with mother and country
I've seen a bigger one used with b-17s and was very cool to see.
Was it phly daily’s b-17 one?
I loved taking part! Thanks Vad! Although it was really unfair for the Germans
My New Favorite Video
“Who new that the planes can be sexy?”
Answer: Daebom
If only war thunder was this fun even 1% of the time...
thanks for doing this! I've never had the chance, time, or money to do this in warthunder.
A Red Tail escort let's go.
Who knew a plane could be sexy? Anyone who has ever seen a p51 mustang a sr71blackbird or an f4 phantom. Bf09 is pretty good looking too.
The B-29 is used in the pacific, its not really acurate if you use it on europe, but still a nice video
bomber escorts are once in a lifetime thing in 1.0
think you guys can try something like the Doolittle raid?
Please do more warthunder it is my favourite game!
Hyped for this one
next time we need the possibility to talk to each other, escort with one another and the escort with the bombers. and next time maybe more bombers^^
unfortunatly i am not in the video, except my name tag is visible😂
if there is a next war thunder video, i would like to take a part again :)
i think how popular this vid is id say people would like more
would be nice if the attackers were also jets, maybe then the air cover should be more planes. but i love these red tails scenarios when germany is using me-262 jets and the p-51 mustangs have to get them.
How can I meet up with you all to play a massive bomber mission?
Plane’s going down! MAYDAY! BUG OUT!
Recording this must have been sooooo fun ;)
YESSS MORE WARTHUNDER

But that being said the bombers should have reformed with the escort after first attack. Great watch bro, life of a bomber guy in this game is a bitch.
in the start of the movie red tails, that is exactly what the 51's do when escorting a formation of bombers, pretty effective of the germans
I love how both of us was playing war thunder and your in a b-29 and I'm in a B17
War thunder, lets goooo!!!
next time tell your p51s to go high cover,you had no tactic at all😂😂😂
Honestly most ppl that know some about planes Don’t know that most B-14 through B-29 have giant machine guns one front one bottem one back and one top
You should do it would B-17s
You guys should have asked for the red tails because they say screw the prize and never lost a heavy bomber in ww2.
I just discovered this game a few minutes ago!! And new to the channel
This guy makes some of the coolest thumbnails
Samurais death was so tragic
BOMBERS GOING DOWN REPEAT BOMBERS GOING DOWN
Can't believe I missed this event
"Strategic military targets"
Orphans can wield weapons
Imagine playing war thunder on a monday snow day and see this,Your day is ruined
Yes more War thunder PLEASE
If the BF109s were anything other than E series yall would've been pounded. F series and up have HE cannons
HE cannons???? You mean MK108s? Even then MK108s only come at G-6 lmao
