Hey Phly so in short the XM552 round was designed to have a specific spin rate that optimized the penetration at 1,000 meters with steep drop offs below and above those distances. I know this bc I stayed at a Holiday Inn last year
I would love to see more early helicopters with interesting armaments such as the ACH-47 with 20mms, rockets, and a 40mm turret, or the H-21 that had a B-29 turret strapped under the chin.
@@kerbalairforce8802 Idk. I play with anyone and I'm down for anything. I haven't had much time lately outside of streaming to play anything, but I'll be more open to collabs when I am done helping out my family these next few weeks.
To find the penetration of the round, you can go into the Protection Analysis and find the round for the 30mm (it describes it for each individual belt/shell for all ammo types)
the XM30 gun system was a early version of the gun that the apache uses. they fire pretty much the same ammo, a HEDP round with about 50-60mm penetration
@@destroyerarmor2846 yea because its meant to do so to have a better effect on humans, less effective on vehicles but the rockets take care of those, its pretty funny to me to make a gun more innacurate to make it more efficent, but if im correct its also used on some heavy machine guns too.
@@jophiohip It's common in AA machine guns to make barrels a bit loose to increase spread so they are more likely to hit at least few of the rounds from bursts.
i love how phly plays for fun using 30mms and is good at it too nice skills and also i like how he post all sorts of veichles with all sorts of load outs thats why the game is so replayable
Doesn't matter what or how I fly, it's always someone's Coax MG that takes me at any range, I was sniped by a T95 over a 1km away at one point, and I've not played helis since
i saw this one day and checked the next and it disappeared, I legit thought it was a dream because my searches for it turned up nothing until some dude covered it on UA-cam!
Phly you can get any ammunition info for any vehicle in WT by going to the stat card o km the left, armor viewer, ammo testing, and then click on the heli ammo loadputs and itll tell you the info. This works for every vehicle in the game. (At least I haven't come across on that doesnt show you :) )
When I shoot from a heli all my buddies are like get the fk outta the way he's gonna kill us all😂😂😂, I suck at war thunder but I have fun, I can get 3 or 4th place and I started realistic battles and fell in love with it more, I love busting up someone's tracks and then leave them to wonder why did he just take off
I'd love to know where you pulled this from. Your saying that it shoots a HEAT round? A High Explosive Anti Tank round? Please link your where you found this.
@@ExcavationNation It does. When the UH-1C XM-30 was first released someone posted a document about the XM-30s on r/Warthunder (Reddit). I read it and wish that I saved it because the post got deleted for some odd reason. What I commented is from what I remember from reading it. Also in the files the max pen of the 30mm ammo on the XM-30s is 37.5mms the last time someone showed me. I will continue to try to find that document again.
Phly please dont always fly with 100% coll (especially when actively dodging/attacking), that makes the helicopter just massively unmaneuvarable and kills your RPM
The round that the gun uses is I believe the Xm552 round. high explosive, dual purpose (fragmentation and shaped charge), impact initiated round. 30 grams of HMX for the round. Didn’t find anything on penetration values
im beeing honst right now as a swedish tanker first im going for is looking for some helis with my VEAk 40 or the lvkv9040c and smash the away like they are mosquitos :D
I'm sure you have gotten a ton of people saying it before, but 100% collective can in many instances be worse than around 75 to 85 percent. At those rates, you can get a much higher rpm like 105 and in turn your climb will be better.
@@JM64 That is because in-game they automatically adjust the trim on the blades and limit the RPMs for us with the planes. With helicopters it is a much bigger issue since they have a much larger prop and it happens a lot easier to overspeed them so you end up getting much less power.
Day 434: Phly, I challenge you to the conphusing aerial smokescreen challenge. Destroy three enemy aircrapht with smoke shells in a single game. Good luck. o7
Here is little help, the XM140 used 3 types of 30mm ammunition, XM552, XM554, XM669. XM552 is a high explosive, dual purpose (fragmentation and shaped charge), impact initiated round. XM554 is a practice and spotting round for the high explosive cartridge XM552. XM639 is just a training round.
they need to give the rest of the AH-64s their full suite of weapons and give Hellfires the ability to switch between direct and ballistic fire modes on the fly. and put the fucking KA-50 at 11.0 where it belongs.
Welcome back Phly Back to business: HEY Phly can you play the Hawk III please?! >For that Dude that has requesting that for years now< My Request: Btw i saw you have the M48 Suuuuuuuuuuper but you didn't even made one vid about it so why don't you do M48 Super aka Go-Kart Patton (at least in arcade PvE🙃) And because you want to play a combination take the IL-28 out with its FAB 3000 for some multikills Day: 127 -Phly Decal should be spottable -no Tigor
this thing would be fun if it was 8.3, but 8.7 just gets shit on 90% of the time - however, playing fortunate son while I leedle into battle even if I just kill one bmp 2m is always worth it
Choppers usually do not use the tail rotor to maneuver, instead tilt the blades to steer and turn themselves, Huey for example has dual counter rotating differential. Hence it can maneuver without a tail fin.
@@canniballistic555 I believe it is, which is probably why helis with counter rotating blades like the KA 50 stay stable whereas helis like the Mi 4 completely lose control when they lose their tail fin.
I have a question Phly, where you playing last night, I was killed by a plane that had your decal on it and I was wondering if it was you or someone else
Hi Phly, I've been playing War Thunder now for around 2.5 months just taking my time and having fun. I've gone for the German tree and am now at BR 5.7 and using a light tank at BR 3.3 lol The next light tank is at BR 6.7 can SPAA do scouting.? I just played a game scouting 17 yet my teammates really didn't go for them is it still worth scouting, I think it helps.?
_"I still don't know why they let helicopters do that"_ Non-WT player here... Could it be due to deciding not to make helo profiles for them, and so ALL helicopters utilize one that's for Russia's Contrarotating Ka-50/52?? That's the only thing I can think of...

What would be really cool for transport choppers like the Huey, is the ability to chain and lift small vehicles like real life.

I always spawn AAA first thing just to take out the choppers. It's so funny to immediately destroy them the moment they come on to the map.
The moment of suspense landing, what if rambo jumps out🤣
3:15 The chat LOL ahahhahahah
When you show a Huey you have to play "Fortunate Son" IT IS THE LAW!

I like this big guns on air vehicles videos. Those long range snipes are satisfying.
Met a Marine Corps Major, an XO and Huey Pilot in 2019 at Yuma Marine Corps Ball, he called it "God's Chariot".

If the rear rotor is missing from a helicopter, it is usually no longer welcomed at Warthunder

Phly please dont always fly with 100% coll (especially when actively dodging/attacking), that makes the helicopter just massively unmaneuvarable and kills your RPM
With some helicopters, such as the Scout and the Wasp, it's best to fly with your coll in the 80-90% range to maintain 100% rpm.

You can look at ammo stats by going to the penetration viewer and mousing over the round.
It just dawned on me. The Merkava is what the Bradley always wanted to be.
I remember i was going to buy but the next day was gone i was mad men😂😂
Meanwhile, Russian bloggers are releasing a video: "Tears of the West because of Pantsir-S1 in War Thunder".
Couldn’t you try the armor mode and select the round or does it not appear there either? I know you probably tried that but it was worth a shot
