Adam514 There are different types of head-ons: Dodge-shoot, shoot-dodge , dodge-shoot-dodge, shoot-dodge-shoot . Speed , altitude ,armament and horizontal separation must be taken into consideration as well. Also u need to react to enemy's evasive maneuver to get a shot on him when he's dodging. It's quite complicated . Oh plz take this with a grain of salt as I'm only good at ramming actually .
Depends if you wan't the game to be historical or not. In real life .50's were pretty bad at plane killing. Especially during the jet age. Not quite as much earlier.
I remember when I was a Lvl 3 or so and when I played arcade and when head on against that thing I was like wtf, how am I dying in the blink of an eye, then proceeded to grind the whole American tree with that thing and a talisman xd
Usually I'm playing it safe and avoid head-ons, so I try to energy bait instead. However these three kills in a row where impressive and a good example to try them more myself. I'm not good at head-ons yet.
Btw for a challenge vehicle you should try playing out the XP-50. Just bought it recently and I can not figure this thing out. I think it could make for a great video if you are able to figure out. The only way I’m able to get kills in it is by forcing planes into a hammerhead or head on. It’s just a recommendation though I understand you get like millions of plane requests each video so.
2 month old comment but the thing is I believe the xp50 has turbochargers which break if you use MEC so my advice is use auto engine control and keep throttle at 90-97% to keep from overheating with using 100 as your WEP. maybe then the turbos work????? otherwise it feels like a brick using MEC. If not using MEC then make sure you use flaps and turn fight 109s and 190s as they cant outturn you.
How did you "cancer roll" like that? The instructor only lets me roll in the opposite direction as the yaw keyboard inputs while applying positive elevator.
400m (description). Lol there isn't an advantage doing it like this, but rolling a bit allows you to rapidly pitch away from the head on at an angle that is harder for the enemy to follow.
You really should try the P-40F-10. Currently one of my favorite planes, tied with F6F-5 for CAS. It's (as far as I know) a full-on upgrade to the P-40E in every way.
I’m a bit late to the party lol but while it does improve in most metrics the big one that it actually loses capability in is turn rate. A full second or two slower than the E. Not that the E is a turn fighter by any means, but it is helpful.
Could you tell me what game settings, screen resolution and anisotropic filtering you used in this battle? I find that with a lower resolution it is much easier to hit an opponent but it also depends on the monitor you are using.
@@AdamTheEnginerd Thanks for the quick answer, I really appreciate it. Elegantly played as always, all the more so because a lot of time has already passed. Thanks again
It makes me happy though. Im a really Bf 109 specialist player rather than spits or p51s (also liking and using them) but Im confused about grind Italy for G14/AS. Im wondering is that worth it. Im looking forward the comparison but dont forget to put into G14 AS. Thank you for all your work!!!
Honestly, 50cals can make a onster out of almost everything...I usually play germans, but also americans...And i just feel way more confident using 50 cals.
@@AdamTheEnginerd It could be because I'm forced to push it to the max angle of attack in sometimes even slight maneuvers. Seems to fly like a 109 with worse vertical characteristic in sim. Maybe turns just a bit better.
That's not the flutter speed, it's just that the airspeed force on the control surfaces is too high for the pilot to adequately move the control surface.
if only there was a shorter word that meant the airspeed force on the control surfaces are too high for the pilot to adequately move the control surface.
hey my squadmate killed you yesterday, he said you should learn to play. also how do i use that black window at the top with all that data? is it 100% legal?
Lol I try my best! Yup it's 100% legal, Gaijin even made a video on it on youtube (mostly to use the map that comes with it). It's called the "local host". How to access the "local host": You need to be running War Thunder or it won't work! Option 1: on the same computer that is running WT: -Type localhost:8111/ in the address bar and press enter and voila.

Good stuff! I've never been much good with the P40, even after the FM update and I'm not too sure why. I think that the playstyle of it just doesn't really match with what I try to make it do. Say, as a suggestion, would you mind doing something involving the Me 163? It's one of my personal favorite aircraft due to how unorthodox the playstyle is compared to other jets at the tier, and it's certainly something one has to get used to!
Personally, I prefer the 163 due to the higher durability and fuel load as well as superior engine, but I can understand your standpoint as the Ki-200 is lighter and has less dropoff on the guns.
Love the video as always. Head-on ace in a day video please :). Did you crash on purpose at the end here? You seemed to bleed speed on purpose and then try to pull out of the nose dive with flaps.
I know it is kinda late. But why did you do those weird rolls and maneuvers at the end? I am sure you could have stayed in the air and not get yourself killed before the tickets ran out. Maybe you don't care about it but I wouldn't give my opponent the kill like that after they are already dealt with.
@@AdamTheEnginerd Are you sure? The kill feed shows that he got you. Sorry If I got something wrong. Anyway I loved the video regardless, and thank you for replying.
Yeah the kill feed still shows everything. I crash like this whenever I have the chance, I guarantee it doesn't give a death (or a kill). The scoreboard shows that too.
Adam514 it's the P-47's best defensive maneuver: 180 turn, shoot in face, profit. It's also part of the reason axis teams do so poorly, they willingly engage in headons with P-47's and P-51's
Adam, I think you would make so much money giving private lessons online. If someone could go from 0 or 1 kill average to 2 to 3 kill average WE would be happy to pay you. Or even better, make very detailed videos on the best planes and sell the videos on Amazon. If you need a silent partner, I'm in. Thank you Greg
i tried to practice head ons......i had a different result...i rammed 4 players in a row.
Green Fury lel
Shoot at 1mile/1.5km and pull out, do some acrobatics while you're at it so enemy can't aim ahead.
That's a good start
Lmao, most important part of head ons is the DODGE, including the carcass.

Eh I've done more satisfying things on UA-cam than this one imo.
Holy crap, that must be one of the best rampages in WT history!
I've had similar!
Even after 4 years it's still a useful and great video. The p40 will always be one of my favorites to play
2:10 yeah at this point its "hacks"
As always ;).
Best way for head ons is to take stealth ammo, fire from high range to the enemy and then quickly turn away.
Yeah, though at this tier they don't dodge anyway ;).
Amazing. I absolutely love your evacuating maneuvers after you shoot the guns.
Haha my dodges? Most important part!
BTW is german MK108 30mm cannon not good to head on? Its bullet speed is so terrible :(
You shouldn't head on with German aircraft in general. Ta152C might be an exception because the mk103 30mm is quite fast and it surprises people.
I see. Tnx for fast answer!
that tripple kill was juicy :D holy guacamole, nice vid man!!

How did you "cancer roll" like that? The instructor only lets me roll in the opposite direction as the yaw keyboard inputs while applying positive elevator.
Hmm better check your key bindings then. I used Q (left rudder), A (left aileron) and positive elevator together.
it's not the instructor, it's the keyboard
Guys in the AVG loved going head-on in P-40 variants.
Because they couldn't do anything else ;).
Adam514 oof. But the Japanese seem willing to take it
They'd be called cowards if they didn't.
What is your gun convergence?
400m (description).
How do you displacement roll so hard? It almost looks like a flat spin!
Damage helped haha.
I got this plane for a test drive and it is a very good plane it turns nicely and it climbs pretty good. Got 4 kills on my first match
Nice!
What convergence do you use, mate? Also, what’s the advantage of a rolling head-on?

Hello! I have a request. If you have MB.5 in the UK, will you take a video of the battle ?
Hey! Unfortunately I rarely do premiums, but perhaps eventually.
Too bad .50 cals will start to sound like fucking typewriters and sowing machines.
In light of the looming 1.79 update and the new heavy fighters expected for Germany, you should fly out the bf-110 c4 and the ta-154
I'll think about it!
Adam514 good deal!
You think this plane is good at head-ons? Try the A36 with 10x12.7mm
Haha that's overkill though. You don't need more than 6 at this tier.
Adam514 It really is overkill lmao
How do you change your radiator power on the p-40 again, I haven't played in a while
You mean radiator %/opening? You need to bind a key to enable Manual Engine Control (MEC), and then bind keys for the radiators.
Adam514 oh ok thanks, sorry for the super late reply
No worries mate!
Is the p40 f-10 any better, i assume it is but what do u think?
Yeah, it has better high altitude performance.
Could you tell me what game settings, screen resolution and anisotropic filtering you used in this battle? I find that with a lower resolution it is much easier to hit an opponent but it also depends on the monitor you are using.

@@adrutam1 My pleasure!
I have a question Adam. Is the BF 109 G14/ AS most manueverable BF 109 at tier 4 (include K4) in game?
Nope, the most maneuverable is the E. Earlier versions of aircraft are often lighter and hence turn better (with the same wing).
Im sorry. I wrote wrong. I mean in tier 4 between all g series and k4. Could you reply again please?
G14 seems to be the most maneuverable tier 4 Bf109. I'm planning on doing an ultimate tier 4 Bf109 comparison in the future.
It makes me happy though. Im a really Bf 109 specialist player rather than spits or p51s (also liking and using them) but Im confused about grind Italy for G14/AS. Im wondering is that worth it. Im looking forward the comparison but dont forget to put into G14 AS. Thank you for all your work!!!
G56 is superior, it might be the best Axis 5.3. I have the impression that the G14/AS is a better deal for the BR than the German 109s.

F is better at high altitude but slightly worse at low altitude.

Waiting on a worthy match! Had a few but I didn't feel they did the Tempest Mk V justice.
This plane has low flutter speed then Bf109E... I hope new P-40F will be improved
What do you mean by flutter speed?
Adam514 The speed when you can't control plane directly. Like rudder became hard as rock
That's not the flutter speed, it's just that the airspeed force on the control surfaces is too high for the pilot to adequately move the control surface.
