Many Thanks! I asked this review a couple of months ago and I'm glad you take the challenge! The P-61 is one of the most powerful plane in game, but quite underrated. The 4.000lbs bomb load can be used to quickly obliterate 2 bases (RB) and you have a heavy fighter to play until the end! The turret is awesome to catch bombers from below ( schrage music, sort of), and catch fighters in tight turns. It's a shame that auto gunners only works on targets in less then 200m in RB! In AB it stars shooting from around 700m! Lethal! Excellent review, it was devastating! And it was not even spaded! Btw, flaps are not much useful in this plane, I guess!
My pleasure mate! I'd never load bombs with it unless there's a runner though. Flaps are really effective and they are huge, but they can't be used unless under 375km/h or so, limiting their use.
@@AdamTheEnginerd ; I love the dive brakes on her. It is a shame Gaijin still hasn't added the promised ability for the pilot to lock the turret and fire it alongside the cannons.
I cannot believe you only have 12k+ Subscribers. I can't believe I haven't subscribed yet since I try and use your videos for advice. Hereby I have subscribed aswell and Will stay so for a long time. Good work.
Thank you for making a video on the P-61-c! i have been looking for videos on this aircraft, so thank you for this. ps: i dont think you used the turret near enough, when i fly almost every time i turn i switch to my turret view and spray some shots in the enemy's direction if nothing else to keep them occupied oh and to any one else who sees this: it makes an AWESOME BV killer if you get under them where there turrets cant shoot and go for the wing with yours
Adam514 i fly bombers a lot so i am vary good with turrets but i am a half decent fighter to and turrets they were meant to damage and ward off planes i like to load ap belts and shred there eng so they can't pursue
Hey Adam! I played with you last night at Sicily where I asked green fury to shoot me down lol. Great channel bro keep up the good work. I have learned A LOT from you and Green.
P61 is surprisingly good. The decent climb rate and 2km airspawn lets you bully 109s a lot of the time. People seem to underestimate it, but I almost always get multiple kills each time I fly it
I love the P-61... Usually average 6 kills per game in it. And now that it has radar... its an amazing flanker. Best MEC I have found is Mixture: Leave set default Prop Pitch: 90% Radiators: 100% Side climb at 10 degrees.
@@AdamTheEnginerd But when you can sneak up behind climbing 109s with more energy than them before they can get close to the other fighters, it's like taking candy from a baby.
This thing is an absolute beast. Tears through bombers from any angle, has good climb when spaded and air spawn, 4x20mm let's u kill light pilboxes, plus bombs, for when You have a space climber or runner. Most fighters get cocky and sit on your tail, I usually lure them nice and close then a single quick burst from the 4x.50 kills em instantly
man with this out just hoping you can take the beaufighter out for a spin. really fantastic support fighter, decent climb, 4 hispanos nose mounted, great turn for something its size (outturns fw190s from the a1 w/o flaps actually) and just very durable. also the flaps are tougher than this too so it’s a better support fighter than the p61 imo. that said great flying dude :) it shits my pants seeing you in game.
@@AdamTheEnginerd and that's why it has defensive armament. Generally speaking, of course, it's broken in the game as it supposed to be night heavy fight supported by radar. I can understand the lack of love for that plane but for me, flying it is pure fun as it's a very unique airplane for WT.
For me it was ok for shooting down planes. For me 73 kills and 20 deaths. Of course, I would never do a 1:1 dogfight in it. But it excels in bomber hunting and sometimes even killing fighters. It does have powerful engines. The P-61A (Premium) sure is a slug though. It doesn't even have WEP.
Had one of my best games ever in this thing. When I played it, it was very sturdy. It could take a lot of damage and dispense damage with it's 20 mils.
Some good solid gameplay😊...can't go wrong with 7 kills. Oh yeah one thing...I havnt found any videos of you using the 163 komet. I think that would be pretty fun.that or one of my favourites...the 162 aka salamander.cheers keep it up😃😃😃😃
What an embarassing performance by Axis this was :D. Especially loved the zombies above the ground. Nice farm, they were begging to get shot down honestly.
Yeah current state of teams/nations/MG151 says that they should actually wipe the floor with Allies. They have won mainly because they managed to get rid of you. Generally there is no crazy P-61 flying around slaying everyone :D.
Nice vid, I actually remember this match when I was flying my bf 109 trying to get into air RB. In another match where we met you said you would do a vid about fw 190 and bnz like in greenfurys vid about the J2M2. Is it coming?
I haven't played in a long time idk if flight model etc has changed but that thing really came alive aroynd 450mph which I always found odd but real cool
Wow a heavy fighter! I don't see people play those often at all. Love the video!!! Have you tried the German heavy fighters? I have used the first few and they aren't bad but its quite different from a single engine fighter. I'd love to see a video on the BF 110 or the others some time in the future.
Strange. I can't seem to find them. Most youtubers I watch then to overlook the heavy fighters. More heavy fighters video would be amazing and they'd probably help me figure them out. Thanks! P.S. A Bf110 video would be great.
Yeah I will! Ideally you can retreat to teammates and never put yourself in a position where a more maneuverable enemy has enough energy to catch you. But since there will always be surprises, dive and use your roll to constantly stay out of their guns and wait for teammates. If the enemy gets close enough cut throttle and reverse to either shoot him, or dive away to friendlies.
I was just in some matches where I was the last remaing against a yak 3p for example and didn´t have time to climb due to ticket loss and i didn´t know what to do to win. Thanks for making the videos, I still got lots to learn.
This plane is actually my favorite in the whole game, just get the biggest bomb load and head straight for an enemy base, stay as low to the ground as possible always, anytime an enemy comes in I light them up with my turret and almost always get a kill, I only die if I get tag teamed by enemies, amazing plane
Not sure, I'm no turret expert. But when I switched views while the turret is able to point in the last direction I set it, it stays there. Or else it goes back to the front.
Great battle in a unexpected plane! Think how amazing would it be if one person could aim with the turret, and the other one would be the pilot. As you adviced, i started to aim without zooming in more often, and results are great! I noticed that during dogfighting, zooming in is a bad idea. I know that your list of planes to fly is long now, but could you try out J2M3 (specifically this one, not J2M2 or M5), cause i find this plane great after spading. It has the best thrust/weight ratio in the game (0.79). At least at lower speed. You could try to stallfight with enemies,(climbing spiral works great in this plane).
Thanks mate! Yeah what if you could allow dead teammates to shoot the gunners for you... Nice! For sure during dogfighting there's no use to zooming in!! J2M3 has a higher T/W than the other J2Ms?
Yes, i wrote to you about J2M2 and M3 on discord a few weeks ago. In a nutshell: J2M2 and M3 have the same thrust above 250 kph M3 begins to generate significantly more thrust below 250kph (up to 300kgs) than M2 J2M5 is a downgrade compared to J2M2 or M3. It's engine is better above 6k, but significantly worse at low alt.
Great gameplay! Could you try out the F4U4 50cals or the J2M4? Been trying to make them both work and struggling abit. Im a big user of boom and zoomer planes
Adam514 be careful of the tiger syndrome ! It takes alot of new players by surprise. If youre not sure what that is . Compare the tiger H1 to the tank before you unlock it. Youll see theres a massive gap in preformance and skill
Word on the F4U there, totally agree that these are wonderful planes. You need to know how to fly them right. That's something most people don't. It needs a lot of discipline and patience as the climbrate is rather poor. I think that's one of the main reasons why people don't like it that much and don't give it the proper credit. Nice round nonetheless, I think the beers are on the gunner this evening.
Could you please do a voice video playing the tempest mk V. And, more specifically, explaining verbally what is happening while you are flying around. thx
It's in Manual Engine Controls (MEC) in Controls. You need to bind a key to activate MEC, and bind keys for prop pitch, radiators, supercharger gear, etc. There are tutorials on how to do it on UA-cam.
It's called the "local host". How to access the "local host": You need to be running War Thunder or it won't work! Option 1: on the same computer that is running WT: -Type localhost:8111/ in the address bar and press enter and voila. Option 2 (which also works on the computer that runs WT): -Type Your_IP_Address:8111/ where you replace "Your_IP_Address" by your IP Address (192.168.X.XXX) in the address bar and press enter and voila, you can look at the characteristics on another device while flying. Yeah I add it during editing.
I'm pretty sure that in real life, forwards was indeed the standard position. I'm actually having a hard time finding a picture of a P-61 where's it's not facing forward.
You underestimate the power of one turret 2 bf109s tried to dogfight me but however after minutes upon minutes of stalling I managed to pilot sniped the both of them. Unfortunately a third came in and shot me dead
I always watch one of Adam's videos and I'm like wow I can go out there and do that! and then I get in game and its literally me and 10 brain dead bombers vs 30 Adams and I get fucked
I once did it in the Tu-2. Forced a Tempest into a spiral climb with me and then switched to gunners when we stalled out. Dumped a ton of soviet .50 cal into him and he burst into flames.
5:57 (reply to comment). That’s a result of the War Thunder meta though. The few bombers that have been useful for victories in past have generally been termed overpowered. An unaddressed poor implementation seems to be the culprit.
I hope I meet up with you in matches more often, I'm gonna call you the potato hunter since you always end up finding a game full of them! Also, maybe to add about the P-61, at altitude it's actually pretty fast, and the plane also has airbrakes as far as I know. Oh, and a better bombload than the B-25, but that's just icing.
That's part of the aircraft. Can't have good everything at 4.0 BR. Try to predict what the enemy will do, and don't go for enemies who dive away early.
Are bombers really that bad? I fly the me 264 usually for sl, and I usually manage to take out all bases and do a little af damage, Ive become experienced in using the turret to the point I do almost better with them, (long live German 20mm minegeschoss), I usually get 1 kills guaranteed and I help out my team by gunshipping, do you think I'd be more useful as a fighter
They just aren't a threat to the team or the win in the vast majority of cases. If you get ignored and left for last, you can't help your outnumbered teammates, and then the snowball advantage due to being outnumbered in fighters starts until the enemy team has 2 fighters left for every remaining bomber.
I put it there through editing. There is a way to overlay it over WT, it requires playing WT in windowed mode and using an overlay program to overlay a part of your browser over WT, but I've never done it.
Ha, i love to kill BV 238 with P-61 turret, you can guarantee your kill even at 1.8~2km away Btw, please visit Tempest Mk II in your next videos. The plane is so good at 6.0 now, basically a jet powered prop :)
Why dont you zoom in when shooting? I mean, its nice to be able to see your enemies overall trajectory better, but its harder to predict where he will turn in the next moment... do you get what i mean? If no its ok.
It's a misnomer, I don't like the term myself but everyone uses it. Compression as used by people in game refers to the control lock up of aircraft at high speed, since the forces on the control surfaces are too high for the pilot to deflect them fully, leading to a sluggish handling aircraft.
Got my first Helldiver Ace!!! 2 109Gs, a P-47 and 2 Ta-154s. Don't know how to upload it in any way so sent replay to you in PM in forums. I don't expect you to do anything with it. Basically there for you if people keep asking for Helldiver replays.
@@AdamTheEnginerd ooh they were, back in ship update they pointed fast with full crew, when i was on bomber or fighter tail they finished the job quick, when i missed the 20mm and annoying zeros
Adam514 Its a joke, you are so good , I cant play like this on console so ortophedic controler . That aim Its insane xD we need the "camera traking " on console too
LIQUID_ SnakeXx I play on Xbox and you cant do that legit ,only keyboard .To play with mouse I need the sim 4,I thinking to buy for xmas ,I LOVE this Game a lot xD
do you also agree that the P-61 climb plus the airspawn is borderline autistic? by the time russian fighters get to 4-5km the absolute madman is already around 7k -best ticket bleed spacecraft-
"I have very limited turret experience due to only flying useful planes"
I loled, especially because you already had 4 kills.

Thanks!
Beaufighter still ain't my style though haha. But if you request it on stream sure.
p61 has low flap rip speed bcuz it has air brake under "H" which workes great, on low-speed air brake plus flaps makes this plane crazy maneuvrable
Hmm it already bleeds a lot of speed when turning, using airbrake sounds drastic.

I really enjoy my P-61C. It's a joy to fly it. The rather effective turret makes the gameplay much more fun than normal twin engined fighters.

How do you manually control the prop pitch, the cooler, charger, this wont work for me..
It's in Manual Engine Controls (MEC) in Controls. You need to bind a key to activate MEC, and bind keys for prop pitch, radiators, supercharger gear, etc. There are tutorials on how to do it on UA-cam.
Adam514 ok and do you set them off all with one key or one for each?
1 key per control, and 2 keys (1 to increase and the other to decrease the value).
How do you get that tab inbetween the ticket counter and the aircraft stats? Is it after effects?
It's called the "local host".
How to access the "local host":
You need to be running War Thunder or it won't work!
Option 1: on the same computer that is running WT:
-Type localhost:8111/ in the address bar and press enter and voila.
Option 2 (which also works on the computer that runs WT):
-Type Your_IP_Address:8111/ where you replace "Your_IP_Address" by your IP Address (192.168.X.XXX) in the address bar and press enter and voila, you can look at the characteristics on another device while flying.
Yeah I add it during editing.
May i suggest that you play the tempest mk V or the p51 d plz :)
I agree!
One thing I hate on this plane is that the turret faces forward and not backward as irl
It looks fully rotatable. You mean you should be able to set the default position as backwards?
Adam514 yup
Yea that's probably the only annoyance with the turret. You have to man it in advance to give it time to rotate back.
Agree, takes a long time to rotate, the blind spot of completely below it can be difficult too
I'm pretty sure that in real life, forwards was indeed the standard position. I'm actually having a hard time finding a picture of a P-61 where's it's not facing forward.
You underestimate the power of one turret
2 bf109s tried to dogfight me but however after minutes upon minutes of stalling I managed to pilot sniped the both of them. Unfortunately a third came in and shot me dead
That's pretty good, but that's rare however.
@@AdamTheEnginerd it really was I'm surprised I lasted longer than 30 seconds
I always watch one of Adam's videos and I'm like wow I can go out there and do that! and then I get in game and its literally me and 10 brain dead bombers vs 30 Adams and I get fucked
Hahaha tough times!
Can you effectively shoot up enemies in upward spiral? I tryed it in me-410, was mildly effective
I once did it in the Tu-2. Forced a Tempest into a spiral climb with me and then switched to gunners when we stalled out. Dumped a ton of soviet .50 cal into him and he burst into flames.
Yeah a P61 countered my reversal with his gunner lol, it was nice.
What about a match with the Il-2 type 3?
Lol I could try.
5:57 (reply to comment). That’s a result of the War Thunder meta though. The few bombers that have been useful for victories in past have generally been termed overpowered. An unaddressed poor implementation seems to be the culprit.
It's either bombers can win the match are then are too good, or they can't win the match and they are useless.
Adam514 Pretty much.
Fantastic! Wish I had 10% of your aiming skills. Can you do a tutorial on aiming in different situations and weapons? Please!
Ehh that's a tough request. I don't know what I do, I just aim and it works. I'll keep it in mind though.
Do you think this thing is better with the radar being implemented?
It can only be better, but the difference must be minor.
I hope I meet up with you in matches more often, I'm gonna call you the potato hunter since you always end up finding a game full of them!
Also, maybe to add about the P-61, at altitude it's actually pretty fast, and the plane also has airbrakes as far as I know. Oh, and a better bombload than the B-25, but that's just icing.
Are you insulting my enemies??
Yeah turbocharger allows it to conserve power at altitude.
Ha, never, I've seen you play enough to know that it's not just a case of bad enemies.
idk how you aim with p61. i have lots of trouble aiming mainly bc the guns are below the nose and the aircraft control is kinda sluggish
That's part of the aircraft. Can't have good everything at 4.0 BR. Try to predict what the enemy will do, and don't go for enemies who dive away early.
Are bombers really that bad? I fly the me 264 usually for sl, and I usually manage to take out all bases and do a little af damage, Ive become experienced in using the turret to the point I do almost better with them, (long live German 20mm minegeschoss), I usually get 1 kills guaranteed and I help out my team by gunshipping, do you think I'd be more useful as a fighter
They just aren't a threat to the team or the win in the vast majority of cases. If you get ignored and left for last, you can't help your outnumbered teammates, and then the snowball advantage due to being outnumbered in fighters starts until the enemy team has 2 fighters left for every remaining bomber.
shes rolling great but bleeding too much energy so yes it has poor roll rate when u need to keep energy
Roll itself isn't good either.
How did you get the web ui in there? Edit or is there something I'm missing
I put it there through editing. There is a way to overlay it over WT, it requires playing WT in windowed mode and using an overlay program to overlay a part of your browser over WT, but I've never done it.
That chat is hilarious :)
The best part of War Thunder ;).
Is 2021 and this video is still actual,leading me to victory with my Black Death
Yeah these kinds of planes won't really change playstyles or opponents often.
"View switching is a pain with the gunner view..."
Another player who usually play twin-engine heavy fighter with gunner: Tell me about it!
Teach me senpai.
Ha, i love to kill BV 238 with P-61 turret, you can guarantee your kill even at 1.8~2km away
Btw, please visit Tempest Mk II in your next videos.
The plane is so good at 6.0 now, basically a jet powered prop :)
It's on my list!
Can you try the KI84, pretty please :D
Already done it! It's pretty good even if it keeps getting a higher BR.
Adam514 oh! Gonna look it up!
And yes, it's a very nice plane!
I saw a madman use the turret while turnfighting planes and actually get kills
Got killed a couple of times like that.
Ever use the turret as schrage musik?
I only have a handful of games in this, so nope.
What’s your crew level for both pilot and gunner?
5+3 for the expert crew for everything.
Why dont you zoom in when shooting? I mean, its nice to be able to see your enemies overall trajectory better, but its harder to predict where he will turn in the next moment... do you get what i mean? If no its ok.
You lose awareness by zooming in, and I think it's easier to predict what the enemy will do without zooming in.
Turret is the best!!! but I hate it. you done a good job in P-61
Thanks mate!
What is compression?? Keep hearing this word
It's a misnomer, I don't like the term myself but everyone uses it. Compression as used by people in game refers to the control lock up of aircraft at high speed, since the forces on the control surfaces are too high for the pilot to deflect them fully, leading to a sluggish handling aircraft.
6:33 R.I.P. my buddy xX Night_Raid Xx lol
Yes it was quite sad.
I like how he put '4 mounted US cannons are very good' as if having any other nations cannons would be 10 times worse
Not really sure what you mean, but those cannons are among the best 20mm.
Of all the Helldiver games I played the past week and I didn't run into you... How?
It's been a few weeks!
:( ohhh.... Still doing ridiculously well in the Helldiver though. :) I now go to it when I can't stand 6.0 teams as I try to spade the F4U-7.
Got my first Helldiver Ace!!! 2 109Gs, a P-47 and 2 Ta-154s. Don't know how to upload it in any way so sent replay to you in PM in forums. I don't expect you to do anything with it. Basically there for you if people keep asking for Helldiver replays.
Wow nice mate, I'll take a look when I can!
Have you considered squadding with an Xbox player. I'm pretty good.
It has never happened yet!
It is bloody ridiculous how the flaps rip off, and that you can continue to fly, and fight!
For these kinds of flaps yeah.
I love this plane in mixed battles and in RB. My record is 8 kills
That's not bad.
So overall how effective is the turret on the P-61?
Pretty effective, 50 cals are long range and there's 4 of them.
10th try downloading wt again.
it didn't work :( almost got my first jet
Oof.
How did you fire from the turret without changing view?
It was the AI gunner that shot haha.
Oh ok
Me: *all wt turrets were fucked up in 1.87* We on F82 now, laser gunpod time :^)
Lol turrets were never very useful.
@@AdamTheEnginerd ooh they were, back in ship update they pointed fast with full crew, when i was on bomber or fighter tail they finished the job quick, when i missed the 20mm and annoying zeros
Please F104G Gameplay
I avoid top tier, so unlikely.
"I have very little turret experience due to only flying useful planes"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_burn_centers_in_the_United_States
You know that I hate you, with this vídeo over 999% xD,very good video thats is my favorite plane.
Haha you hate me? Why?
Adam514 Its a joke, you are so good , I cant play like this on console so ortophedic controler . That aim Its insane xD we need the "camera traking " on console too
I don't use camera tracking, I don't think it's good to use.
Mouse and keyboard!!
Mac Millan if you are on PS4 you can use mouse and keyboard! I do!
LIQUID_ SnakeXx I play on Xbox and you cant do that legit ,only keyboard .To play with mouse I need the sim 4,I thinking to buy for xmas ,I LOVE this Game a lot xD
How can people complaining about Corsairs? They're devastating especially at high speed
Because of the climb I suppose.
do you also agree that the P-61 climb plus the airspawn is borderline autistic? by the time russian fighters get to 4-5km the absolute madman is already around 7k
-best ticket bleed spacecraft-
Lmao well I suppose it can run from Russians at high alt, but there are better planes that can do that too just by sideclimbing.
There was a time when i belive that the P-61 was a repleace to the P-38... No longer
Never, P38 doesn't have most of the drawbacks of heavy fighters.
Yeah i think that the P-38 is the only heavy fighter that works as a single engine fighter... Maybe the Ki-83 too but much more obvious with the P-38
Ki83 has that heavy fighter clunkiness that goes with it, but awesome performance.
And láser Beam 30mm cannos 😱
