@@onebullet95wt22 Yes they meant the FW has good vertical energy retention therefore a good climbrate because it can hold its speed longer in a steep angle.
I love this plane though there are people who are crying that it should be 1.7 again instead of 2.0 which is not needed in my opinion. You can't kill a bomber with it's weapons but everything else is no problem.
I think once you get past the first jets, boom and zooming isn’t a viable tactic anymore, because jets in a dive can only go slightly faster than jets in a straight line.
@@rn-zu5ld The P-51D out dives nearly all opponents at 5.0, and is also very agile at high speeds due to its laminar flow wings which gives added agility when closing fast on prey in a boom and zoom. 6 .50cals do good work too. It does have poor performance at low speeds, but if you become slow and low then you would be doing BnZ wrong in the first place.
You need to be very skilled to make this plane work, dealing with bf 109s and fw 190s that can kill you in one hit. It's a plane that only works in 1v1 imo. Something that is very uncommon in air rb. (I'm talking about the p51D)

The j2m2 is prob one of the most OP aircraft in game. It can outturn everything except zeros, outclimb almost everything, and it’s fast af. Only bad thing about it is that it compresses a bit and it’s guns are horrible! It’s also brittle but that doesn’t matter if they enemy is never going to get guns o u
Slight correction, yes you can call it B and Z however it’s proper term is called a high-side Guns pass, to counter the maneuver, one has to use the Attacker’s airspeed against them, by pulling up and into the attack at just the right time

It is good that you mentioned the central placed armament of the Ta-152H1 as an advantage. But this way you also should mentioned as an disadvantage for the fighters (the most iconic US and Britain fighters had wing mounted guns or cannons) who are not blessed with this important difference. I found it so easy to shoot and got kills with the, mostly german or russian,central placed armament planes and it is in contrary more than a bit difficult for me to get the same "ammonition hit rate" with (outer) wing mounted armament planes. So, now - after taking some time to figure that out - I prefer planes with wing mounted cannons or guns. The best choice for me is a plane with centralized guns or cannons, just one caliber of them. Because the aiming point in Arcade is based on the biggest caliber on your plane so you are likely missing with your tinier caliber guns or cannons. So when you use something like a spitfire with an 20 mm and 7,7 mm you should give this some importance, and by the way you also must fire your bullets at the right distance - so that their are not crossing on point long before or behind the enemy. That are problems you don't face with centralized armament planes of one or a rather similar caliber. In some degree the flying characteristics are not that important, at least in arcade (because of the most very dense sky with quick battles everywhere) and realistic (because of the limited ammo, so every burst should count) - simulator is quit different, the flying characteristics are the most important - you had to first face your enemy before you should even thing of shooting.
@@tomekfranciszek9237 I don't even ask for more german stuff anymore because I don't want to get into this "germany suffers" discussion anymore. I think France, Japan and Italy need new stuff (air and ground).
Because American sabers were never equipped with air to air missiles they were only equipped to the export versions. And by the time the sidewinder were developed the Americans had the F100
The A-36 (USA) is a great Boom n Zoom, if you have the extra MG's attached. I use it all the time. In combination with the Stealth ammo belt, it works like a charm.
Is it just me or does it seem like the p-51 is kinda overrated?... It's a 4.0 BR but my A-36 flys about as well or better and has like 6 payload options at a 2.7 BR
I haven’t flown it in war thunder but realistically the English electric lightning should have had the best climb rate in the game because it could fly vertically for the longest distance and time for its period and it broke many records because of it (it could climb vertically for 3 minutes straight allowing it to reach a total altitude of 36,000ft in 3 minutes, that’s higher than mt. Everest).
P-39N - 37mm - 1 hit kill - can reach 860 kph - great energy retention to regain altitude without losing so much energy in the dive. 860kph in second era plane? That is something. Same goes to the evolution the p-63-A10...
You missed the P-80F Shooting star!!! I can't keep count of how many enemy aircraft I've downed with the P-80, and out of every plane in the game I have taken down x3 as many aircraft as in my 2nd most used aircraft, and in an hour I can get axe after ace after ace but only in the P-80F It may not have the best speed or maneuverability, but it's small silhouette makes it very hard to spot, Especially if the jet is diving on you, and it's too late to turn when you see it because it's already passed you, emptied a 2 second worth of ammunition and left your aircraft burning. It's is a reason it's got the nickname "The Shooting Star"
The ki-44 II Otsu is pretty good too, high top speed (600km/h) even at 3.7 (it sits at br 2.3 in rb), high climb rate even when compared with spitfires (18m/s), and all of that with x2 japanese .50 cals and x2 40mm cannons. On top of all that it has decent maneuverability. A very honorabu aircraft indeed.
I can't believe WT asked Sir David Attenborough to narrate this video. Really appreciate this part except . . . (u know what I am about to say). Anyway, thank you WT!
Actually F4U Corsair series is normally for Boom and Zoom but in game if you go down it is hard to go back up but it has good fire power and all of them are nearly at rank ||| only 1 is at rank || and that is F4U-1A Corsair.
Ayyy, in terms of Dive Speed: P39-Q Aircobra, i reached nearly Mach 1 with it while diving and then i hit a TU-4 (yes, i took it with me bc of this sole reason)
In low tier, in the category of beginner friendly boom and zoom (in BR 1.7) I can mention : Russia : Mig-3-15, awesome climb rate and dive speed and energy retention, very sturdy, but the most challenging because of its awful manoeuvrability Germany : He-112-A-0, really versatile and a really hard hitting 20mm, it can shred any aircraft of its rank, but poor energy retention; He100, incredible dive speed and energy retention, but only three 7,92mm MGs can be sometimes a bit insufficient against all metal planes USA : F2A-1, very agile, monstrous firepower, like the F2A-3; in the same BR, we have P36-A, more challenging due to its only two MGs, but even a single M2 Browning can be a really threat for an enemy airplane. France : Dewoitine 501 and 510, like the He112-A-0, got a hard punching 20mm canon, awesome turn time and roll rate, but few amount of ammo for its 20mm canon China : CW-21, the king of low tier boom and zoomers, it has it all, incredible rate of climb, dive speed, energy retention, can perform well in dogfight if you missed your target in your dive and a wonderful firepower.
Bf 109 g-2/trop is the plane that i have most kills on and i can tell you this. the plane without armament already does the job great, can i say even better than with the cannons because of the weight and drag cannons add

So, now - after taking some time to figure that out - I prefer planes with wing mounted cannons or guns.
The best choice for me is a plane with centralized guns or cannons, just one caliber of them. Because the aiming point in Arcade is based on the biggest caliber on your plane so you are likely missing with your tinier caliber guns or cannons.
So when you use something like a spitfire with an 20 mm and 7,7 mm you should give this some importance, and by the way you also must fire your bullets at the right distance - so that their are not crossing on point long before or behind the enemy.
That are problems you don't face with centralized armament planes of one or a rather similar caliber.
In some degree the flying characteristics are not that important, at least in arcade (because of the most very dense sky with quick battles everywhere) and realistic (because of the limited ammo, so every burst should count) - simulator is quit different, the flying characteristics are the most important - you had to first face your enemy before you should even thing of shooting.
When are you going to add air to air missiles to the American sabres? All variants of the Sabre got them at some point.
chill out the americans have enough advantages already, germany has literally one aircraft with air to air excluding the premium hawk
@@tomekfranciszek9237 I don't even ask for more german stuff anymore because I don't want to get into this "germany suffers" discussion anymore. I think France, Japan and Italy need new stuff (air and ground).
@@tomekfranciszek9237 Don't the G91r/3 and the Mig 19 both get air to air missiles? Also at least one of the German sabres gets them as well
Because American sabers were never equipped with air to air missiles they were only equipped to the export versions. And by the time the sidewinder were developed the Americans had the F100
The a5 and f2 even got a lock on radar.... i want that too, but im 100k rp from the f100(although i have almost no sl)
Aww come on. No BV238? That heavy fighter gets me all the time!
I can’t watch this knowing this is the same company that has removed the Maus one of the most iconic German tanks
Blue Pikmin you know German engineering is amazing when a WW2 tank is supposedly so overpowered even the modern tanks have trouble killing it
The G2/trop is one of the most op planes in the game those wing mounted cannons are insane
The best aircraft for boom and zoom is definitely the BF-109 F4
And the spitfire mk2b
Everything with 4 by the bf109 is op e4 f4 k4
The A-36 (USA) is a great Boom n Zoom, if you have the extra MG's attached. I use it all the time. In combination with the Stealth ammo belt, it works like a charm.
I would say p51
But that rudder is so bad theres no point
Is it just me or does it seem like the p-51 is kinda overrated?... It's a 4.0 BR but my A-36 flys about as well or better and has like 6 payload options at a 2.7 BR
I think the p51 d series deserves its spot in the video as well.
pretty dissapointed you didnt even touch on the he 219
They forgot the HE 100 D1 in rank 2
That thing flown well is untouchabel.
@@villepore7013 Exactly
Ut can finish off the BF-109 F and E using it's superior speed
@@villepore7013
I was expected Gijan to publish it as a best Rank 2 boom and zoom fighter
I kinda expected the Tempest mk II
I haven’t flown it in war thunder but realistically the English electric lightning should have had the best climb rate in the game because it could fly vertically for the longest distance and time for its period and it broke many records because of it (it could climb vertically for 3 minutes straight allowing it to reach a total altitude of 36,000ft in 3 minutes, that’s higher than mt. Everest).
finally 3000+ views and 300 likes this is the first time that YT is not drunk for me xDD
I'd like to nominate the Minibolt at 2.7, P-43-A-1.
"fw 190 A-4 with a crazy rate of climb" wtf gaijin, just like wtf
P-39N - 37mm - 1 hit kill - can reach 860 kph - great energy retention to regain altitude without losing so much energy in the dive. 860kph in second era plane? That is something. Same goes to the evolution the p-63-A10...
The best boom And zoom Is vodka powered ram
You missed the P-80F Shooting star!!!
I can't keep count of how many enemy aircraft I've downed with the P-80, and out of every plane in the game I have taken down x3 as many aircraft as in my 2nd most used aircraft, and in an hour I can get axe after ace after ace but only in the
P-80F
It may not have the best speed or maneuverability, but it's small silhouette makes it very hard to spot, Especially if the jet is diving on you, and it's too late to turn when you see it because it's already passed you, emptied a 2 second worth of ammunition and left your aircraft burning.
It's is a reason it's got the nickname "The Shooting Star"
Imagine boom and zooming in a ta 152
The ki-44 II Otsu is pretty good too, high top speed (600km/h) even at 3.7 (it sits at br 2.3 in rb), high climb rate even when compared with spitfires (18m/s), and all of that with x2 japanese .50 cals and x2 40mm cannons. On top of all that it has decent maneuverability.
A very honorabu aircraft indeed.
But still, i'm glad it wasn't mentioned on this top 10, since it is a premium vehicle.
*pew pew pew*
I can't believe WT asked Sir David Attenborough to narrate this video. Really appreciate this part except . . . (u know what I am about to say). Anyway, thank you WT!
Actually F4U Corsair series is normally for Boom and Zoom but in game if you go down it is hard to go back up but it has good fire power and all of them are nearly at rank ||| only 1 is at rank || and that is F4U-1A Corsair.
I recommend the American a-36 Apache for boom and zoom it’s fast as shiiiiii and can have gun pods on the wings so it has almost 10 guns
me: i love playing with aircraft, i win everytime!
me, when im going to play tank battles: *sad loss german music intensifies*
You have forgotten the glorious P-51H-5 mustang
My favorite boom and zoom plane is the BV 238
BF-109’s are good boom and zoom fighters, I personally use those and fw-190’s
I like to boom n zoom with a p40 just to lawn dart after every kill, it's great
Ayyy, in terms of Dive Speed: P39-Q Aircobra, i reached nearly Mach 1 with it while diving and then i hit a TU-4 (yes, i took it with me bc of this sole reason)
"Just going high won't win you games"
Instructions unclear took my bomber to the stratosphere
the vg 33, it's like the worst surprise for ennemies, and a head one still perfect
MITSUBISHI T2 is very good for boom and zoom ( 100 seconds to get at 10.000 meters and a variation of M61 Vulcan gun)
Basicly any FW 190 or BF 109 starting from the F4 variants is an excellent Boom and Zoomer
u'r missing the A36 wit gunpods lethal af
In low tier, in the category of beginner friendly boom and zoom (in BR 1.7) I can mention :
Russia : Mig-3-15, awesome climb rate and dive speed and energy retention, very sturdy, but the most challenging because of its awful manoeuvrability
Germany : He-112-A-0, really versatile and a really hard hitting 20mm, it can shred any aircraft of its rank, but poor energy retention; He100, incredible dive speed and energy retention, but only three 7,92mm MGs can be sometimes a bit insufficient against all metal planes
USA : F2A-1, very agile, monstrous firepower, like the F2A-3; in the same BR, we have P36-A, more challenging due to its only two MGs, but even a single M2 Browning can be a really threat for an enemy airplane.
France : Dewoitine 501 and 510, like the He112-A-0, got a hard punching 20mm canon, awesome turn time and roll rate, but few amount of ammo for its 20mm canon
China : CW-21, the king of low tier boom and zoomers, it has it all, incredible rate of climb, dive speed, energy retention, can perform well in dogfight if you missed your target in your dive and a wonderful firepower.
The Me-163 was by definition a boom and zoom craft.
Great list, but I usually stick to the f 82 with gun pod for boom and zoom.
You have missed the most iconic boom and zoom aircraft in history - ju87 Stuka, how dare you?
That's why I keep the game louder than my music to hear enemy planes
The literal epiphany of American fighter doctrine is Boom & Zoom. Surprised that they need nerfs to be ingame. :(
Bf 109 g-2/trop is the plane that i have most kills on and i can tell you this.
the plane without armament already does the job great, can i say even better than with the cannons because of the weight and drag cannons add
P-63A-5 Russian is pretty good because of the 37mm and the four 12.7 machine guns. With a FAB-250
6:18 lol Swordfish great boom and zoom
Another great BnZ Craft is the F4U-1 Variations of the Corsair.
These Bad Boys get into a Dive and the Enemy's Done!
FW190A8 can dive at mach .79 no other prop can go that fast in a dive without ripping
Bf 109 K-4 and the 190 D-12,13 are also great too
RIP i-185s, nerfed into oblivion.
