Day 4: Phly, I've got a series idea for ya, called "Chaos... is a Ladder." Simply start at the reserve tier of tanks, and play one match. Next match, you can upgrade to the highest tier tank that you killed in the previous match. Rinse n' repeat. See how many matches it takes to get to top-tier.
This is one of my favorite planes in the game. It can’t really defend itself against a plane its own size, but if you can hit several pillboxes and tanks before the enemy finds you… I’ve finished several matches with the high score for my team, and It pays very well!
I have a very hard time with it i find is slow and sluggish with ineffective armement the rockets are hard to hit and don't do real damage and the bombs are too small i prefer the i-15 yes the bombs are smaller but you can drop them on the head of the enemy realy easy and it manouvers good enouth to avoid manualy aimed missile i carry it to 6.0/7.0 and still do good
@@redwarrior69340 Avoid sharp turns and keep your energy , it's an attack plane not a fighter . Practice with bombs , forget the rockets (or just spam them at light armored target's) and try to mostly use the 37mm with single shots or short burst's ,just not full auto and you are good , if the enemy let's you do your "thing" , you can destroy most of their team with it .
I love the illusion 2 it’s my favorite plane because I you feel like a tank and if you land a shoot they done. it’s also a lot more Maneuverable then you’d think!
That's some great war footage at the beginning there. I used to complain that War Thunder was a bit arcadey, but after seeing the HUD show up in the footage with the Target Destroyed message and everything, I now see Gaijin went out of their way to make the most realistic experience possible.
That wings of Russia reminds me of the history channels coverage of the eastern war, with the series Soviet Storm WW2 in the East. Used to love watching that series as a little kid along with the dogfights series at 5am in the morning (UK here).
I've read reports indicating that the disharmony of the guns firing threw off aim. The nose would swerve left then right then left, as the guns fired in slightly askew rhythm. That's a big reason the dual 37mm armament was dropped. I wonder about the recoil. Other high power weapons, such as the B25's 75mm and Hs129's 30mm Mk103 were notorious for springing rivets and warping out of harmony when fired. Imagine the effects on the firing plane of the German 5cm and, especially, the 7.5cm BK. I don't doubt they (large bore high velocity cannon) sap momentum energy from the firing plane, too. Nose droops and you're in the mud like a lawn dart.
Hey Phly, a couple of weeks ago you made a video a couple weeks ago in the P-51, and u promised that individual that you would make a pure air RBI’s video about the p-51. Did you forget because it would be cool to see some p-51 rb ganmeplay
I should try this plane. I always tend to opt for an Su-6 over the IL-series but the IL is so iconic. Thanks for the "Wings of Russia" recommendation btw, really enjoyed it.
I can’t wait for the twin Christmas tree j-37. Oh wait. What’s that. I only have low tier jets. Now it time to get chronic depression so I can grind out a single branch of a tech tree so I can play a jet one year from when it released. Tanks war thunder
I've been watching WOR. It's an incrdible documentary with some exclusive footage that I've never seen anywhere else. I recommend it just like you Phly!
I almost have that researched. I haven’t really been playing Russia a lot lately though. Once I got to 4.3 I started losing a lot of SL but that’s due to me not being the best at the game. I can have good matches but not enough to earn a ton of SL consistently. I still love playing the game though. CAS is probably my favorite thing to do. Edit: tl,dr I’m stoned and went on a rant about how I kinda suck at War Thunder.
@CobraPlayzYT dude I would have dropped out if I were still in HS, college was bad enough and I actually really enjoy it, whereas I hated HS with every ounce of my blood lmaoo
It's the rapid fire 20-30 mm rounds that kill it, like in higher tier planes or on any faction except russias AA. Try flying this thing near a wirbelwind or an r3t20, or any fighter with 20+mm cannons and you'll see what he means.
Hey Phly I hope the wife and son are doing well! I had an idea for a shirt since you just became a dad. It says PhlyDaddy across the top in 1940s era advertising font with a period correct illustration of you holding Fairchild around his waist with his arms out like a plane. Like someone took a snapshot of you “flying him around like an airplane” 😂 I could make the picture so you can get an idea of what I’m talking about. Then have whoever does the artwork for your merch make it the want you want. Also the IL-2 is the sexiest looking prop driven ground striker in War Thunder.
The Soviet gunners always been better than others. I had a B-17 with 4 stars gunners who rarely kill passing enemy planes with their 50 cals. Yet, in the Pe-8 with zero stars gunners, I usually take down the plane that shot me down. The 14.5mm also a far better weapon the 50s 13/15mm, and ecen the 20mm. It easily set planes on fire that are rarely put out.
I remember when the IL-2 was considered the flying tank and almost nothing could shot it down. I could survive such a pounding. Those were the good times.
Day 24: 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.
just started this game and your my favorite content creator on this game so far, I play solo since no one I know plays this but I just got the b-17 and been having a blast bombing people (pun intended) keep up the great work!
Ah man I've been getting back into my IL's lately, I really suck at flying realistic but its sooooo much fun. I just wish this one was a game or two longer, see you tomorrow phlu
Request to play the ZSD63 as a TD..... Literally a 4.3 Chinese Gepard... 63mm pen and 600rpm twin 25mm. And more penn and higher caliber than the R3... and about the same size.
A programme think you'd like is called Britain, when jet ruled the skies. There's two episodes one of them is commercial jets and other is military its a very good programme and recommend also another documentary is night bombers which follows an actual bomb crew going on a raid and all the briefings and stuff really really good nice vid BTW thanks
Fw-190 is my favorite other than the P-51. Derp factor applies for the Me-163 though. (as planes, not necessarily in game, but the Fw190s are pretty good)
It's funny because today I got the first 2 IL2's. AND I LOVE THEM. Oh and been watching your previous videos + mighty jingles videos on the IL2 as well.
"Oh that was a smoke shell." Imagine being the really really confused and unlucky pilot to accidentally have their plane shot down by an SU-122 smoke shell.
Day 75: Play the AR-2 with three 500kg bombs in Ground RB with BT-5, SU-122, ZIS-30 and Chaika... or play at a higher BR... love this vid phly keep up the great work! (also have an awesome day everyone!)
Hey Phly, could you do some instructional videos on how to fly in war thunder? Like controls, etc. There are some videos on it, but none are very good.
I remember back before the AI gunner nerf, nothing short of a bomber hunter could threaten this. It was especially glorious to fight against Japanese, whose 20 mm needed to be fired from close range to hit and their planes were annihilated by the gunner long before that. Nowadays, the gunner is mostly a joke in Air RB, since the enemy is always in a dead-zone if you man the gun and too far for the AI if I pilot the plane. Apparently it still works in Tank RB, probably because of the lack of enemy highlights and their distance indicators.

@CobraPlayzYT not so sure about planes, but pretty much any german tank at this BR is helpless against them.
Il-2 is really great, but without upgrades it moves like truck with wings. I think it is my favourite plane in russian tech tree.
I just started the ussr tech tree, loving all of it. Very good mix of abilities
Russia is very fun for both tanks and planes
I watched like 4 episodes today between college classes, so glad you talked about that series so I could watch it myself
@CobraPlayzYT dude I would have dropped out if I were still in HS, college was bad enough and I actually really enjoy it, whereas I hated HS with every ounce of my blood lmaoo
I wouldn't say the IL-2 didn't like cannon rounds, was routinely shown that it took upwards of a 40mm cannon round to take the plane down!
It's the rapid fire 20-30 mm rounds that kill it, like in higher tier planes or on any faction except russias AA.
Try flying this thing near a wirbelwind or an r3t20, or any fighter with 20+mm cannons and you'll see what he means.
Day 27: Please do a Magach 3/A2D-1 combo-wombo video to show the power of the American Wallet Warrior. Or just play the m22 at 8.0+

You know its good when it's a bathtub. Or even better THE frying bathtub!
Ju-87 G-2 with HVAP is SOOOO satisfying. Even moreso when you blap a few aircraft on the attack run.
ALSO: Wings of the Red Star. Excellent documentary. A counterpart series by the same narrator called: Wings of the Luftwaffe.

"The Flying Tank" was one of the most LETHAL aircraft in WW2 the reputation is well earned.
HELLOOOO PHLY CONGRATS ON YOUR BABY BTW
Can I put my bawz in to jawz?
TIS MA is the best Russian Plattform for the 37mm toghether with the 2x500 just a dream.
German Pilots used to call the IL-2 "Betonflugzeug". That translates to "concrete-plane".
That summs it up pretty much. 😄
