    Man when I have less than a minute of fuel in the F-14 I turn off Engine 2 and leave Engine 1 flyin at 70% holding 400MPH+ which is about the speed of the Late WWII Prop speed just to make it from halfway to landing lol.. you do greater flying man

      Oh yeah this is by no means a tutorial on how to limp lmao, but I can give this advice when limping. In WT with most top tier jets, 2 minutes of fuel is your absolute bingo, meaning at your best energy management it takes about 2 minutes of fuel to cross the map. When you get to that point, trade your remaining airspeed for altitude immediately by going into a medium climb until you reach 300 knots, then level out, and then use between 30-60% throttle to limp yourself home at around 250-300 knots. This will put you on a good glide path where you are generating enough lift to keep your AoA low, and going slow enough to where you aren’t wasting energy to excess drag. Your plane will drop from 500 to 300 knots a lot faster than from 300 to 250 without fuel, so trade that extra airspeed for altitude you can use to glide. You’ll be a sitting duck, but thats better than not having enough fuel to get home.
      This video actually has less to do with not having fuel and more to do with showing how much time is wasted trying to land “properly” in WT. You can go from mach 1.2 to at a dead stop on the runway in under a minute if you train yourself how to, even in a normal landing scenario, less time spent in your approach, the less time you’re a defenseless target against enemy fighters coming to AF strafe

      I have no idea what AoA is xD
      and I dunno how you have the lil voice over for your plane either xD

      ⁠​⁠@@dashydragneel7192The Voice warning should be on by default, but with the dev server audio being different from my normal settings, it made the voice way louder, also you need to be flying a jet that actually had bitchin betty in real life to hear it. It’s also a new feature from a couple updates ago. AoA though is your Angle of Attack, which by definition is the angle between the chord line of the wing and the relative wind measured from the leading edge, but in non-pilot Jargon its basically the angle at which your wings are hitting the air. If the air you are flying through is flowing over and under the wings smoothly and ideally for the airfoil, your AoA is low. If you are “scraping” against the wind like when you see a SU-27 doing a cobra, that is high AoA, also just shortened to “Alpha”. In fact, all a cobra is is going from a state of low AoA to extremely high AoA in a very short amount of time, and a Kvochurs Bell is the exact same thing with an introduction of yaw once the aircraft has achieved high AoA. You can even hear bitchin betty screaming “AOA, AOA” at me in this video when I pull extremely hard with airbrake right before I land in this video, which is basically telling me that my AoA is dangerously close to the critical AoA, the angle at which the wing stalls no matter what speed you are going. Exceeding the critical AoA can be a good thing in a jet with a high thrust to weight ratio, but is aerodynamically fatal in any aircraft that has a T/W ratio less than 1.0. AoA is extremely important to understand whenever you’re flying anything fixed wing though, and I would highly recommend watching a few videos on it to better understand it, its not overly complex or anything, but it will make anyone a better WT player, so I can’t recommend it enough. Even real life videos on AoA will help you understand how War Thunder aircraft work better too. Its a vital skill for flying, and understanding it will help you understand flight in general better. It has so many applications.

    how to land F15 with 1 wing

    • @GrapeFlavoredAntifreeze
      @GrapeFlavoredAntifreeze  6 місяців тому

      I wish that was modeled right now, unfortunately it isn’t, not that I know of. If you lose a wing on the F-15 in WT it just throws you into an unrecoverable spin
