    I had to check on that one wing bigger than the other thing. Yes, the left wing was longer to increase lift and counteract the engine's torque.

      Another solution was to build the vertical stabilizer slightly crooked from the centerline. Italy has some extreme examples, but even planes like the P-51 have it if you look closely. Have fun unseeing that.

    Fantastic. The WW2 content makes a nice change, as much as I love jet combat. Thanks!
    Whenever I hear about the Yakovlev fighters I always remember the Yak-3 that resulted in the Luftwaffe directive "avoid combat below five thousand metres with Yakovlev fighters lacking an oil cooler intake beneath the nose".
    The 3 is a beautiful aircraft, very clean looking, one of my favourite WW2 aircraft. The 3P(?) with 3 x 20mm was a favourite when I played War Thunder regularly a few years back.

    • @Cuccos19
      @Cuccos19 5 годин тому +2

      Maybe the only Soviet VVS fighter what I REALLY like (I hate the others, Lavochkins and so on, all kind of a shitbag). The Yak-3 was really a great looking aircraft. The P variant not played role during WWII, but it had a great firepower with the three "new" lighweight cannons. The Berezin B-20 was only 25kgs (caliber was step up from 12,7mm to 20mm but anyway it was a Berezin UB machine gun on steroids). That gun was so cheap, that they not even serviced, fixed that. If it broke, they changed it as a whole. But every parameters were equal to the ShVAK's parameters: rate of fire, external ballistics, etc.

    @azorean88 8 годин тому +6

    mc-202 had wing bigger than the other
    A unique method of counteracting the torque and P-factor (propeller factor) generated by the engine. These aerodynamic phenomena often cause airplanes to swing on take off, sometimes uncontrollably. Castoldi made the left wing 21 cm (8 3/8 in) longer than the right wing. The larger wing created more lift which tended to roll the fighter right, opposing and thereby counteracting the torque and P-factor.

      I wouldn't say most were happy with it. Stalin was a Georgian communist revolutionary who managed to get control of the regime that took over Russia and once he did so it was difficult to oppose his actions. When communism was removed, Leningrad and Stalingrad were returned to their original names by the Russians.

    If your formation was a Sturmovik escort attachment you could get rockets to support ground attack, or if lucky the ShVAK was swapped out for a 23mm VYa cannon which has twice the explosive filler of the 20mm. That would be the shredder you're looking for. Of course in Kursk era you'd want a Yak-9T with a 37mm Nudelman engine gun. It's anti-tank but apparently the pilots loved going off mission and shooting at enemy aircraft instead of ground targets at ranges of around 1km and watching them explode.

    Sort of inspired by a story I heard of a North Korean pilot that defected and landed his Mig (think it was a 21) at a US air field. All without US intelligence knowing he would defect.

    British pilot James Ira jones an RAF ace said he shot every parachuting German he saw that would have landed back in German hands I tend to agree with this ideology

    why do the bombers drop there bombs everytime you hit them enough to kill them?

      Ditch weight so they can glide further and make safe landings

    I always like your ww2 content. But that you weren't really attacked by any fighter at all turned it into a goose chase. Would've like to see more pressure on the yak.

    Hey GS, just started playing il-2 after doing a lot of Dcs. Have a good computer but I can’t get it to play in high resolution without dropping frames like crazy. Any tips you have because your il-2 vids look just as high quality as Dcs.

    How about a fight between the F4U and a P47D25 that would be an interesting fight
