This map always feels so weird for me, a Maltese living in Malta. Not only is it weird because one can see my entire country in a game, but also because I know exactly where my house is from the map and where I am watching the video from.
Unfortunately, Ju288 spam is not survivable when it gets late and server pops start winding down. It's not uncommon for late night games to be 6v6s where four members of your team are Ju288s, yourself in a fighter, and one other person who ends up being a ground pounding Do 335 because why not.
This made trying to spade the K-4 a real pain, one team has 4 Ju 288 and the other gets 3-4 F2G usually. The other two slots on the US/Brit side are either other fighters or attackers, bombers are pretty rare. I think I saw a Lincoln once or twice. It's bad for people trying to grind with the Ju 288 as well really, because you won't get a win bonus very often in these kinds of matches.
Seeing someone win as Germany in this BR range is very satisfying. By the way have you played any soviet fighters after the update? B-20 cannons received a massive buff in terms of damage. La-7B-20 now reliably one-shots single-engine fighters from a short burst. Any chance of seeing you play it?
Yeah at this br, people on the german side get fked up by poor Matchmaking and have ¾ of team as ju288 and 2 fighters. However, seeing those fighters dont have a knowledge about what the shit they're doin. Literal morons who take gunpods out expecting to live long enough to use that ammo when in truth they're dead before they even use their normal ammo
*Gets in a match *5v5 * 4 Ju288s in a team *Enemy team F2Gs and P51H *I'm flying D13 This plane is in a very bad spot right now. You are just lesser F2G
First, comisserations to axis teams at this BR, I feel your pain. Second, you should try giving the VG 33 a go, 2.7, almost like a mini Ta-152H, only downsides are too much fuel and French 7.5mms.
Yeah the VG33C is one of my favorites. Theres a specific altitude where you can out turn almost any yak and even stall fight some of other contemporaries. Just wish it didnt carry an hour of fuel for quite literally no reason at all.
@@LeDunkerque vg 33 has better climb, turn, roll and high-speed handling though. And they are at the same BR. D520 has better performance at high alt (and high alt fighting is rare at 2.7) and more ammo for the mg's, definitely not worth a tradeoff
This br is currently broken. Load in a game of 6v6, 4 ju288c, a d13 and a re2005. Re 2005 lands and j out because 35k repair costs. Allies have 4v1 on one fighter. Gajins broken economic system causes players to j out to avoid paying rediculous penalties on repair costs, and spam bombers to try to grind lions. They are literally killing thier own game.
I’ve been taking out the p47m and printing money killing ju 288c the 8 .50cals light the ju 288c on fire quickly and the p47m is fast enough to dodge its rear guns
yeah. im a italy f2p and damn, when you get gangbanged by spits, f4u, p51 and some other shit while your ju288 team is dead you feel a void in your chest, and its terrible
Next to the pain of regularly getting into Ju288C spam at 6.0, the Fw 190 D-13 has to be one of my favourite Fw. D-9 and the F-8 are two of my other loved ones for sure! Great video showcasing this beauty!
@@AdamTheEnginerd Hi adam. Perhaps make a video on how to win when nonsense like that is fully stack against you. Which plane is optimal and what to prioritize. I know J out is there but at least having a solution to it would blow off the WT community frustration, that much i guess would be nice.
I fly my He 162 during events and let me tell you, the 288 spam then is terrible. It'll be me in my 162, usually a 190 or Ta of some sort, maybe a 109 and like 4 288's. We get outnumbered by our own bombers and obviously struggle against the enemy team's 5 fighters and one bomber/ground pounder. But it's still fun since half the enemy team dives for our bombers anyway, making me able to get on them and BnZ.
After the recent update I felt that the Tempest Mk V guns have been buffed in damage and accuracy. They feel a lot like the F4U 4b guns now. Test them out for yourselves I guarantee you'll love em.
@@felipegg4096 what plane are you using to get the mig 15bis? I don't play Russian planes too much but the I225 is pretty fun to fly... If you can hit your shots.
the D-13 is my most played prop in both SB and RB. i bought it in 2017 and didnt touch it until about a year ago and now its my absolute favorite prop to play
i think i caught you in my D-13 a few weeks ago. I think you were playing the Hornet. I only managed to come out on top because you were critted from a 288 (lol) was a good long fight and you impressed me with your discipline in keeping the energy advantage even though the hornet would out turn the D-13 (i think?)
i have mostly given up on playing the 288 around the afternoon periods, matches always end up with 4 288s and 1 or 2 fighters, i at least didn't J out after dropping bombs and attempted to help fighters by being bait or chasing and gunning down some lone fighters, its a good surprise for most expect 288s to run or J out
I unlocked ta 152 h resently, half team of ju 288 made it difficult. Btw adam you should fly italian sm91 you might have overpass it, its a great heavy fighter, capable of turning the tie of the match. 6 mg151 20mm at front and 1 extra at the back its a dream.
By airspawning i force head ons and push fighters low. It also turns quite well, and if u fight a light fighter like zero o spitfire u just let them in ur 6 and delete them with the 20mm turret
Big issue with the SM.91 is the roll rate is pretty bad, and the rudder area is very easy to cripple on the SM.91.. Good as a heavy fighter regardless.
The ju288 is a huge problem for all of German tier 4. Any 5.0 and above will be uptiered to 6.0 if not 6.3 then you are down 4 usefully team mates against better performing aircraft. Thankfully gaijing introduced more mixed air RB games which seemed to help. The d12 and d13 scream at high altitude love them. Thanks!
Ay thx for being my rb mentor Adam! Your videos are bloody brilliant and have made me able to actually enjoy wt. Could you do a video on the Mig 9/9L? It’ll be my first jet, pretty soon hopefully (eeek!!) so some tips n tricks would be sick :) keep up the great content matey!!
I havent even start watching... But this grind my gears... Flying my Fav Ta 152, into 6vs6 battles, where 4 is bomber, and you are stuck with 2 vs 6 fighters, and those 6 fighters are 4 F2gs... I love 5,7-6,7 German because of the design and it was actually during ww2, but holy cow...The anger control is real
I remember when the 288 was first added at like 4.7 and was just guaranteeing wins left and right for Axis teams due to all the Allies they'd take out with their turrets, while also dragging down a ton of seagulls to get picked off by the always-higher German fighters. How times have changed lol
The Fw 190D 13 is an absolute god of a plane but just kinda struggles when it gets up tiered to 6.3 games, you’re outperformed by every fighter, especially the P-51H. I’ve personally have had no problems with it because I am more experienced than most players but sometimes you just can’t do anything with an F4U or Spitfire behind you
@@jordangames2560 yeah really the only thing you can do in those situations is dive and hope that a teammate comes or just roll out of his rounds until he gets bored or runs out of ammo 😂😂 which I usually try and do
My best game I have ever played was in the D13. It’s such an amazing aircraft and definitely comparable to the D9. Almost feels like the same exact aircraft besides the 3 20MM’s Not to mention the turn isn’t all that Poor, with the great flaps it has use the Takeoff flaps when turning and switch them back over. It’s served me very well
honestly the MG-131 is now the best aircraft machine gun for mid to close range shooting cause high damage output and fire rate , comparing to the 50cal. the 50 is more about range and sniping pilot while the MG-131 is about shooting micro minengeschoss rounds at the enemy , still depends on what ur trying to do because obviously 50cal is really good at long range and retains armor penetration
I keep coming back to this video when I want to play my Dora the destroyer just to help with my leading. Idk what it is but the MG151 cannons take the most time for me to get back into the correct lead. But when I get it right I make BIG MONEY.
@@AdamTheEnginerd have you thought about doing a video on the 190a8? I've been having too much fun in the American premium one, it's an absolute wrecking ball I just had a 4 kill game with it before writing this suggestion.
I remember the times when this BR was actually quite balanced and enjoyable. I put a talisman on the D-9 and managed to unlock the entire German tech tree with it. Ju-288 and F2G spam made it impossible to play. I’m basically in a worse F2G with 4 bombers on my team. P-51C is going to 3.3 in the next update, P-39N-0 goes to 2.7, F4U-4b to 5.7. I can honestly imagine Fw.190D-9 not being broken at 5.0.
4 out of 12? Then you got an excellent match, Adam. Try 4 bombers, 1 Me-410 and you vs 2 P-51H, 1 F2G, 1 Spit Mk 22, 1 F4U4B and 1 AM-1 :D BTW that Ju-288C on your team got 2 airkills and other one got 1, so overal 3 kills between 4 bombers, 1 of those survived. Quite ok if you ask me (but usually they do NOT get that many airkills).
What nation and br range do you play? Just look for things that arent too specific for each tech tree, i.e the 109's for germany or the spitfires for britain.
@@icedwhitechocolatemochafra9851 just about any country though i play america and germany the most. What your saying is go for the planes where there are multiple variants of one type , p51s 47 and so on.
Hey Adam. What is your opinion on the BP zero A6m6c? Many are saying its just a bad plane, but ive had some good performance on it with 6deaths and 50 kills in a 17 game period. For some reason it performs better at all speeds with 70% (60% when diving) prop pitch? Anything over 90% will start bleed speed massively. Is this a mechanic in all of the zeroes? And if not is it just one of those MECessary planes like the J21A series?
sorry adam a question: how could you turn while the camera is facing your enemy? For example when you manage to avoid the 50 cal shots at 3.36. Keep up the good work man!
This is the ultimate guide! Carrying with non existing teams on the predetermined losing side and full uptier! Now I can go sure on my Dora without being a pesky pessimist xd... Would like to 1v1 you someday so that you teach me and heh dueling a grandmaster is like meeting a god
this br is pain for german, once i got a 4/6 ju288 and all the enemy team was fighters lmao, for some miracle we won, i was playing with a squad mate, i think thats why
Was the fuel update intentional for props or was it a bug? Using full power on yaks and spitfires gave me one of the worst performance on planes fuel efficiency-wise, but somehow when it came to the Americans, particularly the corsair, full power barely sips any fuel, in fact running on min fuel felt like 20 mins and 20 felt like 30 and so on...
Idk about the update on fuel consumtion, I also noticed that I get very little boost in the J-22 yet my fuel is spent like 1.5 times faster. The bad thing is the bug where you get minimum fuel no matter what you pick, and with jets that disintegrate fuel on afterburner that's a big problem.
I personally hate the F2G spam much more than the Ju-288 spam. To me it's a little bit of fun to intercept bombers, than fighting the same exact plane all the time, and that plane being really good, not OP, but strong enough have a fair chance in nearly every situation it's in.
I noticed the radiator nose ring armour did its job. Oil cooler survived the two head ons well enough. But I'm assuming it works best agaisnt HE cannon shells, and not AP .50 or 20mm rounds?
@@AdamTheEnginerd Can you do a Me 262 C-1a video then? Cant find that u did a video about that aircraft or i'm just blind, anyways, it was 7.7 and got 7.3 !
I don't understand the appeal of the F2G. part of what makes the F4U-4B (and AU-1 under 1km) dangerous is how it has good speed, climb, turn, roll, and guns - it can do everything well enough to have a way to fight almost any opponent or safely run away from bad situations. The F2G gives up the turn and guns for more speed and climb, but it's not like the -4B was bad in those areas anyway.
Adam, what control mode do you fly in? I fly in mouse aim, but I'm unhappy with the control authority; especially on the elevator. I've tried turning the Instructor off, but when I do, it throws me into realistic control mode.
Hi Adam, As you know, Gaijin has recently made significant changes to the ki-61/ki-100 series. And it is making me struggle. They've stiffened and made it almost useless at high speed, but gave it a good turn at low speed and excellent energy retention. At low ranks this seems to work, but how do I win at higher ranks energy fights...Have you tried it?
So I was looking at getting a 288 C but after reading this I don’t want to be more of the problem. Anyone know any other good premium planes for making SL
Nice Fw-190-d13 game. Ok. What should i do if my team consist of six planes? And 4 of them - Ju288. Ofc enemy has full fighters team (F2G). And they dont go after our Ju-288 first. Instead they going for me. WHAT ???
mig15bis is a beast, you'll just need to get used to the guns they have a very slow rate of fire. Also don't skip on the S21 rockets, they are loads of fun to use
This is the 6v6 i've got when i play german 5.3-5.7 4 bomber, 1 lowtier fighter and me Allied team have 3 P51-H, 2 F2G, and amerikan spacefire LF I just land and leave.
Main reason I dont play 5.0-6.0 germany is the Ju288 spam. I really hope theres a solution to this german late 109s and 190s are really fun to play but not solo against 4 enemy fighters, that shits no fun at all.
And I still see most allied teams losing because learning to sideclimb is hard. I play mostly 4.0-5.0 because there my free talismans are. It’s just sad, mostly because I have to 1V6 everything and take out 2-3 before someone domes me
this is top 10 reason why I stopped playing WT and uninstalled, actually reason number 2 - ju288 spam reason 1 is they got rid of historical battles with scenarios (old Pearl Harbor map with USA fighters taxing for takeoff amidst exploding bombs, japanese torpedo planes for once having a purpose). when game became 100% deathmatch.... it got boring
At least it's not the absolute state of german teams: 3 288s for bases 1 He 177 for no good reason 1 Ta 152 (me) for fighting 1 G.56 to make sure we fight super spitfires and the P-51H
Italians don't always get matched up with Germany no more since the past updates decoupled them in the matchmaker. Now your just as likely German to find yourself fighting against them.
This map always feels so weird for me, a Maltese living in Malta. Not only is it weird because one can see my entire country in a game, but also because I know exactly where my house is from the map and where I am watching the video from.

My best game I have ever played was in the D13. It’s such an amazing aircraft and definitely comparable to the D9. Almost feels like the same exact aircraft besides the 3 20MM’s
Not to mention the turn isn’t all that Poor, with the great flaps it has use the Takeoff flaps when turning and switch them back over. It’s served me very well
honestly the MG-131 is now the best aircraft machine gun for mid to close range shooting cause high damage output and fire rate , comparing to the 50cal. the 50 is more about range and sniping pilot while the MG-131 is about shooting micro minengeschoss rounds at the enemy , still depends on what ur trying to do because obviously 50cal is really good at long range and retains armor penetration
I keep coming back to this video when I want to play my Dora the destroyer just to help with my leading. Idk what it is but the MG151 cannons take the most time for me to get back into the correct lead. But when I get it right I make BIG MONEY.
Yeah for me that's probably Shvaks.
@@AdamTheEnginerd have you thought about doing a video on the 190a8? I've been having too much fun in the American premium one, it's an absolute wrecking ball I just had a 4 kill game with it before writing this suggestion.
@@CruelSun69 I have a video on the NC900 which is the French A8.
Hmm, it says in the video that the optimal climb speed is 275, but I remember looking on the charts and seeing 240. Which one is correct?
Can confirm, real pilot, and not one of my propaganda masterpieces
Haha nice.
Nice 2 see u back!
I've always been here though.
Great video sensy. Makes wanna play war thunder again
Gooood.
Nice video man do wish to be able to see the rewards after the battle tho
Meh I don't check that stuff myself.
@@AdamTheEnginerd Not when you have over 10mil lol
I remember the times when this BR was actually quite balanced and enjoyable. I put a talisman on the D-9 and managed to unlock the entire German tech tree with it. Ju-288 and F2G spam made it impossible to play. I’m basically in a worse F2G with 4 bombers on my team. P-51C is going to 3.3 in the next update, P-39N-0 goes to 2.7, F4U-4b to 5.7. I can honestly imagine Fw.190D-9 not being broken at 5.0.
Hmm thought P51C was going to 3.7 and F4U4B to 6.0? But yeah Doras struggle vs the US planes near its BR, partly due to German bomber spam too.
@@AdamTheEnginerd You are correct, it is F8F-1 that goes down to 5.7
4 out of 12? Then you got an excellent match, Adam. Try 4 bombers, 1 Me-410 and you vs 2 P-51H, 1 F2G, 1 Spit Mk 22, 1 F4U4B and 1 AM-1 :D
BTW that Ju-288C on your team got 2 airkills and other one got 1, so overal 3 kills between 4 bombers, 1 of those survived. Quite ok if you ask me (but usually they do NOT get that many airkills).
Haha yeah I've seen those.
Outstanding as always, thank you Adam.
My pleasure Bro!
thanks for the very entertaining video! keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
this and Me264 spam really took a toll on German teams
Yeah, a massive BR spread is German bomber spam.
What would you say makes a meta aircraft. Recently got into Rb and im having trouble finding out what to look for in a plane. Amazing video btw.
What nation and br range do you play? Just look for things that arent too specific for each tech tree, i.e the 109's for germany or the spitfires for britain.
@@icedwhitechocolatemochafra9851 just about any country though i play america and germany the most. What your saying is go for the planes where there are multiple variants of one type , p51s 47 and so on.
Thanks!
I don't really use the word meta tbh. Other people might be able to answer.
I learn so much from your videos!
Can you play the A6M5 ko?
It's on my list!
Oh boy yeah another video let's goo
Yeaahah.
Awsome as always
Thanks again!
Hey Adam. What is your opinion on the BP zero A6m6c? Many are saying its just a bad plane, but ive had some good performance on it with 6deaths and 50 kills in a 17 game period. For some reason it performs better at all speeds with 70% (60% when diving) prop pitch? Anything over 90% will start bleed speed massively. Is this a mechanic in all of the zeroes? And if not is it just one of those MECessary planes like the J21A series?
I haven't flown it so I do not know the MEC intricacies of it, but I'll keep what you said in mind.
I love your content keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
sorry adam a question: how could you turn while the camera is facing your enemy? For example when you manage to avoid the 50 cal shots at 3.36. Keep up the good work man!
He is pressing c and use key plane command
press c, and use your mouse to look around
use keyboard for aircraft control
Above answers, or keyboard elevator.
The Tempest mk V is such a good counter to the Ju288 spam.
There's better, like Hornet and F4U4B.
@@AdamTheEnginerd or even the Tempest Mk II.
nice play Adam, Gaijin should balance the team based on fighter vs bomber / ground attack number.
That would lengthen queue times, and Gaijin wants to avoid that.
@@AdamTheEnginerd tbh i don't mind if they have to mix the nations like arcade mode
The only way to play at this br is to take a ta152h, climb to the moon and pick enemies one by one. That's how i manage a 1v5
Eh that'll take a while, longer than 25 min.
Agree, did this with another Ta 152 h1
This is the ultimate guide! Carrying with non existing teams on the predetermined losing side and full uptier! Now I can go sure on my Dora without being a pesky pessimist xd... Would like to 1v1 you someday so that you teach me and heh dueling a grandmaster is like meeting a god
Not quite a dueling grandmaster haha, I don't duel often actually.
Nice fighting, gotta ask have you tried out the fw 190 c? If you have, what do you think about it?
I have, it's one of the slowest planes at its BR, and gets outturned by most enemies, so it's tough to fly.
So between Ki-84 and the Fw190D, which one will you prefer in an air rb?
Try the Sweden B18A those 13.5mm are amazing at long range
Bomber though. Other Swedish planes have those good machine guns but aren't bombers.
Nice gameplay,i hope next video is about an anton focke-wulf
Thanks! And perhaps!
this br is pain for german, once i got a 4/6 ju288 and all the enemy team was fighters lmao, for some miracle we won, i was playing with a squad mate, i think thats why
That's a miracle indeed.
Was the fuel update intentional for props or was it a bug? Using full power on yaks and spitfires gave me one of the worst performance on planes fuel efficiency-wise, but somehow when it came to the Americans, particularly the corsair, full power barely sips any fuel, in fact running on min fuel felt like 20 mins and 20 felt like 30 and so on...
Idk about the update on fuel consumtion, I also noticed that I get very little boost in the J-22 yet my fuel is spent like 1.5 times faster. The bad thing is the bug where you get minimum fuel no matter what you pick, and with jets that disintegrate fuel on afterburner that's a big problem.
Sounds like a bug.
confusion of the highest order
-Thanks for watching
Hahahaha ;).
I personally hate the F2G spam much more than the Ju-288 spam.
To me it's a little bit of fun to intercept bombers, than fighting the same exact plane all the time, and that plane being really good, not OP, but strong enough have a fair chance in nearly every situation it's in.
Play some british planes, they buffed the hispano cannons and they are really good (Tempest mk V, mk 2 , and Spitfire Vc try them)
Yeah just played some, guns were decent!
FINALLY FW190
Yeah it's been a while haha.
Why did you removed the Spitfire Mk.24 video?
Hahaha if you don't know you don't know ;). It'll be reuploaded in a few hours.
Hey Adam can you do a guide to the Swedish p51? I don't know what kind of ammunition to put on it. Thanks :D
Isn't it like a D20? If it is, there are better planes you can fly, but it'll fly similar (but worse) to the P51K, D30 and K.
@@AdamTheEnginerd Oh ok well, thanks for the advice anyway good vid
Most of my games at this BR are 8v8 with 4 288s
Yeah small teams are a disaster for the team with the most bombers. Not fun for the other team either.
Hi Adam can you make a video about FW190 A5? 4.7 br, its my second favorite fighter behind 152h1
It's on my list!
I noticed the radiator nose ring armour did its job. Oil cooler survived the two head ons well enough. But I'm assuming it works best agaisnt HE cannon shells, and not AP .50 or 20mm rounds?
Hey, great flying! I wish i can too 😆😔, but hey, can you do a Ho 229 video? Would be interesting!😃
Thanks!
I already did a Ho229 video!
@@AdamTheEnginerd Can you do a Me 262 C-1a video then? Cant find that u did a video about that aircraft or i'm just blind, anyways, it was 7.7 and got 7.3 !
I don't understand the appeal of the F2G. part of what makes the F4U-4B (and AU-1 under 1km) dangerous is how it has good speed, climb, turn, roll, and guns - it can do everything well enough to have a way to fight almost any opponent or safely run away from bad situations. The F2G gives up the turn and guns for more speed and climb, but it's not like the -4B was bad in those areas anyway.
Yeah I'd prefer the F4U4B over the F2G even if they were at the same BR. But, F2G does have better speed and climb as you say.
It's from battlepass a few season ago I think, and a premium. Also people sell them for as low as 3 gaijin coin, almost tempted to buy it myself
One of the most appealing things about the super corsair are the rewards
Adam, what control mode do you fly in? I fly in mouse aim, but I'm unhappy with the control authority; especially on the elevator. I've tried turning the Instructor off, but when I do, it throws me into realistic control mode.
Mouse aim. Instructor just prevents you from stalling.
@@AdamTheEnginerd Have you made any adjustments to the control settings?
Apart from keybindings, nothing major.
NEW VIDEO LESS GOOOOO
YEAHAHAH.
Hi Adam, As you know, Gaijin has recently made significant changes to the ki-61/ki-100 series.
And it is making me struggle. They've stiffened and made it almost useless at high speed, but gave it a good turn at low speed and excellent energy retention.
At low ranks this seems to work, but how do I win at higher ranks energy fights...Have you tried it?
Try forcing them to dogfight with you so they lose all their energy and become easier to kill
I'd have to try them out, haven't played them since the change.
Thanks.
It wasn't the most OP of things, but at least they were decent fighters. What was gaijin thinking, ruining one tree....sigh
So I was looking at getting a 288 C but after reading this I don’t want to be more of the problem. Anyone know any other good premium planes for making SL
I recommend playing fighters, it's a better deal long term because you have more room for improvement as a fighter than as a bomber.
Nice Fw-190-d13 game. Ok. What should i do if my team consist of six planes? And 4 of them - Ju288. Ofc enemy has full fighters team (F2G). And they dont go after our Ju-288 first. Instead they going for me.
WHAT ???
Just landand j out the game is broken currently
They are smart, and you will die haha.
Soviet cannons and large-caliber guns have been buffed, so maybe some Russia or p39?
Interesting, perhaps.
what do you think about Ta 154? Im thiking of getting it
And im near Mig 15 bis on germany, is it good?
mig15bis is a beast, you'll just need to get used to the guns they have a very slow rate of fire.
Also don't skip on the S21 rockets, they are loads of fun to use
It's good for a heavy fighter, but not my style.
Vg 33 is a beast, I have a 7.3 k/d in it
Hmm.
This is the 6v6 i've got when i play german 5.3-5.7
4 bomber, 1 lowtier fighter and me
Allied team have 3 P51-H, 2 F2G, and amerikan spacefire LF
I just land and leave.
Yeah that's not fun for either side.
Main reason I dont play 5.0-6.0 germany is the Ju288 spam. I really hope theres a solution to this german late 109s and 190s are really fun to play but not solo against 4 enemy fighters, that shits no fun at all.
Eh I find that kind of thing fun tbh haha.
Would you be willing to fly the F86 F25? Seems to be the best Sabre for the BR, but with a challenging armament.
Maybe!
And I still see most allied teams losing because learning to sideclimb is hard. I play mostly 4.0-5.0 because there my free talismans are.
It’s just sad, mostly because I have to 1V6 everything and take out 2-3 before someone domes me
Nah German teams at these BRs have pretty bad win % these days in my experience.
Can you make video about key binds and how to fly so that you are not constantly fighting the mouse?
My keybinds are essentially default, with MEC and elevator added.
What is better for spam in your OP: be6 or ju288? They cost the same, but 1.0 BR diff
Hmm both are a pain to kill, I'd rank them about even for their BR.
@@AdamTheEnginerd thx
I have fw190 d13 and i have big fun of playing it btw can you play f104 from german tech tree?
I don't really play top tier jets though.
@@AdamTheEnginerd okay no problem then maybe f4u corsair?
I've got lots of videos on those.
@@AdamTheEnginerd okay i go to watch it
I love the Ta 152 c3 but it’s a pain to play. The repair cost is ridicules, so I can’t play it often.
nice
Thanks.
this is top 10 reason why I stopped playing WT and uninstalled, actually reason number 2 - ju288 spam
reason 1 is they got rid of historical battles with scenarios (old Pearl Harbor map with USA fighters taxing for takeoff amidst exploding bombs, japanese torpedo planes for once having a purpose). when game became 100% deathmatch.... it got boring
I don't recall the Pearl Harbour thing, but if it were really deathmatch I'd like it more.
@@AdamTheEnginerd here you go
ua-cam.com/video/7CQDcGaRWXk/v-deo.html
Too bad only the D-13 have hydraulic aleirons...
But good thing that Gaijin haven't removed from the store... :3
Yup.
can you make a tutorial on how to properly use the plane, i always die when flying it
At least it's not the absolute state of german teams:
3 288s for bases
1 He 177 for no good reason
1 Ta 152 (me) for fighting
1 G.56 to make sure we fight super spitfires and the P-51H
Italians don't always get matched up with Germany no more since the past updates decoupled them in the matchmaker.
Now your just as likely German to find yourself fighting against them.
Yeah the low team player count screws the team with the most bombers even more.
Yes
I agree!
Shoutout to Priller
Can you do a La 5f? I dont know what happened but those shvaks 20mm are doing a lot of damage
It's on my list!
