      Supposedly it was terrifying to the enemy! BW would shoot them down at night and they never saw it coming. To have a radar on board was an absolute game changer, first of its kind!
      The pilots all had to be the best to be able to fly the P-61, it was very hard to fly at night with limited visibility and mostly using Instruments to to do what they had to do! It was badass! Unfortunately
      I think it just was too late to come out to make an impact.

  • @davidmackey593
    @davidmackey593 4 роки тому

    Loving your vids, helped me a lot in learning how to RB in WT. Also, of note on this vid, the "Air Brake Ailerons" are called Spoilers, and WT actually did them backwards. They "Spoil" the lift and cause the wing to stall out and drop. Some modern passenger jets use them as well, minimally for turns, usually on landing, they pop them as soon as the wheels touch and they go to full reverse thrust, because they have to land at a high enough speed that if they lose an engine they won't twist. This is called V2 (Velocity 2), V1 (Velocity 1) being stall speed. That said, when you are touching down at 120-180 knots, killing the lift on the wings is vital for keeping the plane on the ground. Using them in turns was as far as I can find on a quick look, mostly small bush planes and P-61 Black Widows.

    New game mode idea
    entrenchment
    team A is stuck in an urban area surrounded by rural areas where team B is.
    Team B gets unlimited respawns and team a gets limited spawns
    in order to prevent camping if the capturing team has 3 tanks for every 1 defending tank inside the town the defenders will automatically be forced to surrender or have a timer and when the timer runs out the game ends
    the teams would play two games
    who ever holds the city/objective in said city the longest wins
    this game would be mixed with airforce ground and sea as the game could be played in a port town or have a river going through a city and the boats could gain positions where there team could respawn instead allowing the tanks to get back into battle faster.

    The plane is great for dog fighting and taking out bombers. I've had my best RB games with this one, went to the skies and picked out bombers with a shit ton of ammo left. Did a 180 from the enemy spawn, came flying down at 700km/h and all I had to do was shoot short bursts. I flew past the entire enemy team while I picked 3-4 fighters with ease, those who kept on chasing me ended up getting sprayed by the four 50.cals and I managed to get some more kills. Best game I've ever had so far.

    I love the P61 Blackwidow, fighter pilots don't expect the 4 . 50 cals on the roof (which has two gunners controlling the single turret, so you can keep fighting after losing one) , and it's a head on monster. Not to mention it being fast af and having air brakes. She's a bit fussy about her flaps though, they're huge and even combat flaps give a lot of lift.

      I think they are called spoilers - airbrakes try to increase drag without decreasing lift, spoilers try to decrease lift and increase drag as well. They use them on modern airliners on landings, they are used to "dump" lift on landing, and they are also used for roll control.

    P-61 with that B-29 turret is how the Scraghe Musik (spelling?) system on the Do 217 should have been. Imagine a rotatable quad 20mm with the ability to elevate super high on the Do 217 or something.

    This was my favorite ww2 aircraft because of its unique role as a reconnaissance and nightfighting aircraft, first to use onboard radar as a part of its targeting system for night fighting and landing at night without landing or runway lighting.
    It scored the last allied air victory against an enemy aircraft in WW2 before VJ day and the end of the war.
    My favorite aircraft for sure, I would want to be a p61 pilot in the war. Fighting at night against an enemy I can't see and they don't know I'm there.

    @johnbeauvais3159 5 років тому

    They should put the P-61B version in. The "B" model didn't have the rear crewman so the CG was farther forward making it faster and more agile. The B also didn't have the movable turret and instead had the 4 12.7mm guns boresighted with the 20mm guns.

    I killed three bv238s in a row with the p61, granted they were all flying a mile away from each other, and couldn't get their guns on target as I came in from the side (gotta love that side climb)

    I recently unlocked the P61C Black Widow and I saw this video, tried it out and it works so well. Me264s and BV238s are so easy to kill. It's so much safer than using the 20mm Hispanos for killing bombers.

  • @collinlingaitis8872
    @collinlingaitis8872 5 років тому

    You know one of the fun tactics they used on the P61 was to set the gun turrets pointed just slightly up and then quietly (at night of course) sneak up close to their targets and just saw the damn wing off with the 50s in the turret so Phly your tactic has historical precedence :)
