Note: B17 had a HUGE fuel capacity to be able to fly the great distances it could. Most of it located in the wings, so the bomb load needed to be internal, probably to reduce drag so it could get to high altitude.
@@k-aw-teksleepysageuni8181 Main downside is the elevation angle, makes it hard to shoot at bombers diving from space, but on the other hand I don't often use it as AA lol it's sooo good at killing tanks
@@k-aw-teksleepysageuni8181 Doesn't really matter, the shells feeling like mini-nukes wrecking everything if they get remotely close to you. Way easier if you just need to get into the general area of your target instead of direct hit.
@@k-aw-teksleepysageuni8181 nah problem is the 24 ammo cap, it only shoots from first ammo rack (basically a 40mm "belt") after that u gotta reload from secondary rack and basically becomes a 40mm gun with 10ish sec reload unless u wait for the rack to refill, and that takes a LOT of time
The LVKV died because you actually do damage if you ram a light target at high enough speeds and he was just unlucky enough to have your plane land square on his face. Fun fact : I've actually killed a Turms using this ram method, how? Don't ask me I don't work at gaijin.
If you play back the video at .5 speed during that he actually missed the LVKV and lawn darted next to him… he was just a high explosive lawn dart that cause splash damage..
im going out on a limb, but what if it treated the bombs as dropped when they hit the ground, cus it would make sense for them to explode whether or not they had been dropped
@@k-aw-teksleepysageuni8181 Exactly my point. Didn't think I needed to explain that, but I guess there are alot of people out there that assume they are always the smartest person in the room.
Day 215: Phly, you should play the Hawk III Chinese fighter; 900lbs of bombs in a biplane at 1.0 that you can dogfight in after dropping. Totally balanced.
I will say the mirage can carry quite a lot but the F4E can still carry double the mirages payload and only have 1 less bomb if you go all 1000s, hell probably will be able to carry more once it gets the custom loadouts
the point is that the mirage is such a small and light airframe in comparison to larger aircraft like the phantom and can still maintain a bombload that is respectable in comparison of course the phantom can carry more lol
Day 216: Phly, tou should play the Hawl III Chinese fighter; 900lbs of bombs in a biplane at 1.0 that you can dogfight in after dropping. Totally balanced Two soldiers are always better!
I'm pretty sure that delta wings typically have way more surface area for lift then regular swept wing aircraft. So it would make sense that it would be able to carry alot.
A delta has a higher lift-drag ratio when working with a greater fluid velocity, as well as lower drag for the equivalent wingspan. However, it also has a much lower Coefficient of Lift, meaning it doesn't work as well at lower speeds. Oddly enough this was the whole principle behind Variable Geometry Aircraft such as the F-14, Tornado and MiG-23/27
Reminds me of the F-16XL KingCobra. Basically an F-16 that was made into a delta wing fighter for increased stability and weapons load, to compete directly against the F-15E Strike Eagle in commission for a multi-role strike fighter jet but ultimately failed due to the experimental nature against the proven F-15 just sized up a bit.
I wanna know more about Phly's papa and if he ever had any influence on this path Steve has gloriously taken us on for the better part of the last decade or more. Also really love watching those tense dogfights, knowing another player is controlling that plane and performing in a way that can give Phly, who makes a living off this game, a run for his money for a bit. Love to see it

On the subject of odd deaths, I had one happen today with the AV-8A. I still had both missiles and full ammo, baited an enemy AV-8A and it ended up crashing trying to follow me... and it credited me for the kill... which was good... but extremely odd to have that happen without firing a single shot xD
Also the lvkv9040C does not have tracers and used proximity fuse. Tanks sitting next to other tanks, when the ammo explodes can potentially kill you especially light armored IFVs. Can go into a test range and park next to a burning tank, when it explodes it will sometimes kill you. Same thing happens with aircraft crashing.
@Ruska It's op, gun can pen everything from sides some from front, can destroy gun barrel easily, and is made out of this weird material which Makes it surprisingly resistant to missiles and guns, you shoot an atgm and it just explodes. So yes very good.
@Ruska i use it all the way up to 6.0 lmao also doesn't help that its the only German free to play scout below 6.0 so if you want discounted air then you really have no choice
I know that you could at one time use a non-tracer loadout for AA... It's actually how I ran AA, I don't want the enemy to know where I'm shooting till they start getting chewed up
The Mirage 5 family and its derivatives were great machines. Born as fighter bombers with limited electronic equipment, but very effective in the field. In all its versions. The Mirage 5 project was born for the state of Israel
hey Phly, im probably not the first to say this, but could you maybe turn your mic gain up a smidge and you background music down a smidge? just for when youre talking about something in the hangar. because when you talk quietly (around 2:28) its hard to hear you talking and i cant really turn the volume up on my end because then your snazzy background music will pierce my ears like a dagger. not trying to tell you how to do your job your anything. :)))
Def not the first. All of his videos I have to crank up, then literally every other video on youtube I have to turn back down. Man needs a good 6dB increase.
Will take that consideration, sometimes on the editing software the Db levels lie, so im sorry for missin that 💔 will ramp phly's track louder next time

Hey Phly! You should check out the Italian C13 T90! It was the vehicle that got me my phirst nuke, and I’d like to see it and the ABUL/74 (specifically the 90mm) on the channel! The combo means in any terrain you can get to a sneaky spot, and scout phor tons of SP! (Day 86) (But play the Hawk III first)
Yes, ramming ground forces with a plane (that has bombs on it) works as of I think Hot Tracks. I've never tried without bombs on it, but that doesn't mean it won't work too.
PhlyDaily you don't maybe know that in replays you can even choose any player of the battle and then you can see what he was doing. / I mean you could check how he was shoot at you and what ammo been used /
Hey phly! I had a funny memory when you brought up the old top 5 videos. Back in like 2015-2016 I was watching a top 5 when I noticed my brother’s gamer tag “metallic green” in one of the videos. I knew he played war thunder, but didn’t know he watched you. I asked him about it, and we had a good laugh. Just thought I would share the funny memory lol
Phly te sigo desde que comencé a jugar War Thunder hace más de 6 años, y recuerdo gratamente cuando esperaba impaciente por tu próximo Top 5 Epic Play, me gustaban tanto que recuerdo que los descargaba en mi celular para verlos una y otra vez, te agradezco todos los buenos momentos que me hiciste pasar, siempre estarán en mi memoria.
Hey Phly, i love the vids, but could you maybe suggest a video or a way on how to set up the mode where you can select you bombs or guns in a jet. please and thank you
french industry always did great aircrafts, Dassault is now on top with Rafale, very few can beat it nowadays (proven on Red and Blue FLag exercises) Sadly AMX-40 never came into production, but we can see one in SAumur Musée des blindés =) proud to be french baguette xD

15:02 you can see the lvkv's muzzle flash, 3 shots.

It is very underrated, and under utilized.
@ 1:34 did anyone else notice how quickly the speed increased after he dropped all ordinance?
Wonder why 🤔
Yeah because he now weighs less and has less drag 💀

I'm pretty sure that delta wings typically have way more surface area for lift then regular swept wing aircraft. So it would make sense that it would be able to carry alot.
But only at high speeds, IIRC, so getting that dorito in the air needs some hefty thrust.

Maybe the Snail's algorithm now checks who was closer when an enemy kills himself xD
7:40 My bro turned into Odbawls for a second

I am watching this at 1am in Germany rn and the vibes you are sending rn with the music just hit perfectly :D
4:26... Phly, thank you so much, the Inspector Gadget song brought me back & made me nostalgic af... Then I realized I'm a damn boomer. No thank you.

That was such a filthy kill at the end. I almost fell out of my chair laughing.
Have you looked at the A-4E or F-4J in terms of max bomb payload? It makes this thing look like a WWII British Fighter when it comes to bombs

Yes, ramming ground forces with a plane (that has bombs on it) works as of I think Hot Tracks. I've never tried without bombs on it, but that doesn't mean it won't work too.
it was because u still had unexploded ordinance attached to ur plane, ur plane turned into a 600lb bomb lmao
The HE-VT shell of the aa dont has tracers thats why I love to play it
Your plane still got one bomb in the middle section as you died. The impact at the ground detonated it and killed him.
You became the bomb Phly, just like the kamikazes from ww2.
These Missiles are turly magic -Maker of the Magic missiles
7:00 “Help me step-tank I’m stuck!”
doubt you will get this but if you rewatch it you actually crash into the tank that shot you down read the kill feed
they need to add the ability to drop those power pylons so you can use them for kinetic bombardment.
change my mind
INSANE! The French Phantom haha
Can't wait for Milan to add it to the French 9.7 lineup :)
My French plane, the Mirage really good plane but got replace by a top tier plane the Dassault Rafale
the 9040's "Rammer" tag makes it that much better 😂
This will be the one time hat phly has made an accurate thumbnail, that is too many bombs😅

my grandfather was pilot of a mirage, cheers from argentina 👋
Does anyone know the name of the song that starts at 12:22?
I was looking for some comment that I knew but there was no one who talked about it
I have an idea for a custom game alot of sherman tanks vs 1 new leopard. Something like the Maus vs those little tanks. :)
Maybe a T-90 vs alot of Tigers.
The bombs hit the ground before the plane did and therefore detonated I think
“go go inspector gadget”😂😂😂
that's a lot of potential damage
15:05 reason I love the lvkv's proxy's, they dont have tracers :)
