I know this video is mostly about the plane, but a small rant with regards to the light tank: I feel like when I'm in a light, my reason for existence is to scout the hell out of the enemy team, in order for the heavies and planes to have markers to kill. It drives me absolutely bonkers when I'm in a heavy or a plane and my whole team is running around in lights, and not one of them is making any effort to scout a damned thing. Shoot at that tank all you want and maybe you'll get some kills, but scout it first so the rest of us can support! More than likely wherever that guy is, there's another one in his general area. It makes the team so much more effective than having to wander around the battlefield hoping to run into something before it runs into you.

From one guy that loves the AD platform to another, thanks for this, and here's to a tech tree A-1E in the future

Odd sending a good 20 rockets off the rails, and then casually saying “hold that” and showing us a pinpoint bomb drop as an afterthought had me far too excited. Once again, a masterclass of armour and CAS 23:31

You should check out the am-1's bomb load. You can have 3 2000lb bombs with lots of 250lb bombs or rockets.

Hey Odd I'm not sure if you're aware but there is a setting that sets your aircraft to automatically jettison the rocket pods once they're empty. This will help you survive a bit better in your attack aircraft if they get jumped

gotta love the rockets clipping out of the rocket pods at 6:10

7:17 The Mighty Mouse rockets render outside the canister. Nice work, Gaijin...

Hey Odd! I love your videos! They are much more cheerful (and/or painful really depends on the vehicle) than others imo. Idk if its just because of the way you talk during the videos or if its just a personal preference but they kept me entertained for pretty much 1-1.5 years now and I never missed a new upload since I joined but there is one small little thing that botheres me for quiet a while now and that's a distinct lack of love for the russian SU-100P or how I like to call it the ASU-100. Compared to the ASU-57 it isn't nearly as small but it has a somewhat comparable mobility with a maximum speed of 65 kp/h going forward and ~21 kp/h in reverse and it also has a very deadly high velocity 100mm D-50 gun that reloads like an 85mm gun and an even more deadly grenade: the BR-412D with almost 170mm of pen at 500m at a 30° angle that can reliably pen and one shot any vehicle at its BR (with some exceptions being the Tiger II H, Jadgtiger, T26E5, T32, M48, the Tortoise and some others). The shell flies at almost 900 m/s making it very easy to aim at long ranges and with almost 100g of TNT in the shell its a mere wonder if the target survives a successful center-mass penetration. The SU also follows the teachings of no armor = best armor and can therefore be quiet survivable if the enemy doesnt carry HE, HEAT or BESH but its biggest downsides are the frontalyl mounted engine and transmission so you have to expose your front in most situations and the lack of gun depression with only *negative 4° of gun elevation* **!Disclaimer! I didn't test every vehicle from 5.3-7.3 and I only tested the ufp at 500m so most tanks still have giant weak spots like the turret or the lfp !Disclaimer!** I enjoyed your video as always and I'd really love seeing the SU-100P on your channel in the near future as it is a very overlooked tank imo and it deserves some more attention. Stay safe and don't forget to give your computer a treat so that it doesn't die again! Edit: Sorry for the text wall

i think that allowing the planes to carry what they did historically and then balance them after the new performance is better than giving us loadouts we won't would make implementing planes easier as well i suppose as they only need the hardpoints and what to be able to carry

I love that I'm not the only one with the graphical bug where the rockets actually come through the outside of their pods when they're pulling hard turns. The ZUNIs in my A-1H do the exact same thing and it drives me nuts every time. That P-51 got you killed, even with how god-tier .50 cals are he didn't have enough angle to get into the turret reliably, you did. He should have flown further out in front of him without shooting to make him turn his turret away from you. You had the cannons and rockets to do the job.

Quick info, bingo is when you have just enough fuel to make it home to land, "Winchester" is when you are out of secondaries

4:51 You can hear the Tiger, Odd.

love the tank plane combos, cas is like the icing on the cake in the videos.

I did this a couple of days ago with the AD 4 used all rocket types available on the pylons and 2000 bomb it is a killer combo

This is still a small snippet of what the skyraider can carry. Even though the A-1H can carry more, the AD-4 still carried the same ordinance. I'm still waiting for that. Skyraiders are rad.

They are definitely insnae

1:32 just realized the third pylon from the left is missing.. interesting. Floating mighty mouse moment

Nice homage to Walker, Texas Ranger. How much armor can Chuck Norris's fist penetrate? All of it.

4:50 how did you not hear that loud tiger engine?🙉

mad props to that Ostwind 2 for cutting down all that allied CAS

@6:15 Reported for gluing extra rockets to your pods. lol

"as long as it doesn't unbalance the wings" fun fact, you can unbalance it, i tested it on my AU-1, just loaded up one wing with 500lb bombs and nothing on the other. it still let me fly, though it would constantly sideslip to one side and when i pulled up hard it tried to corkscrew me. but yeah, you can pretty much go hog wild on it and make the silliest loadouts you want

It's so cool that these are me and yours favorite

Possibly a pity they don't have the loadout of the AD-4B - a Mk-8 nuclear bomb, delivered by over-the-shoulder toss bombing. It was mostly just a political power-play by the US Navy, but they did build about 200 of the planes and 40 Mk 8 bombs (which had no safety systems and were set off by a black powder time fuse).

The AM-1 Mauler can now carry three 2000lb bombs, all single dropped. It's lovely

The typo makes it so much better ❤

If you make a movie you can fully load the AD-4 with Napalm.

As a CAS main im very happy about this change

AM-1 gets an even more absurd loadout and can use it's flaps and airbrake at the same time without any interference.

Challenge time! The Japanese A7M2 has unguided air to air rockets. Try to shoot down a plane with them.

try the f105d with custom loadouts, you can carry 2 bullpups 2 3000 pounders and 6, 750 pounders. if the enemy doesnt have spaa you literally have enough ordinance to wipe their team, on a mach 2 capable jet

Always a pleasure to watch you fly. Great video Odd!

I most enjoyed the time when he said "it's loadin' time" and made the fattest possible loadout

You should have took the magnetic mines instead, as they are lighter and have more explosive mass than the 1000 lb bombs.

My personal loadout is 2k lb bomb 2 tiny Tim’s 3 Mighty Mouse tubes per wing and 6 hvars

25:12 TP in chat (Thoughts and Prayers) for Odd's new PC

Looks like a king tiger, smells like a king tiger…….MUST BE A PANTHER 😂

Also the AU-1 got nerfed into the ground, you can no longer be a quasi bomber

Finland mentioned

10:14, it looks like a king tiger, it smells like a king tiger... ITS A PANTER

Imo to counter CAS, make fighters without payload to be cheaper in SP.

CAS is definitely too cheap to spawn, it should be double the SP cost, especially with custom loadouts

“Enemy spotted” lol😂😂😂

"A massive load, dude." 10 second silence

this one one of the reasons I often asked.. is German's rank 3 really suitable in their current BR..? especially after all the changes made and all the enemy they faces nowdays.. please do another review on them with current settings..

Of course when I stop playing they finally add custom load outs to my favourite planes

I would also add, limit the amount of ammo you take into battle, its the difference between being a firework show and surviving minor penetrations

There is a setting in the options that automatically drops empty rocket pods like those. I have no idea if there is a performance increase afterwards though.

Keep using the American accent whenever you say "enemy spotted" in U.S. vehicles please! It's a small thing but I find it hilarious.

Mad first game, would love to know how you honed your CAS skills, because I am lucky just to drop a bomb or two. You seem to be up there for ages.

Day 13 of proposing the challenge I came up with to Odd: The challenge is called "Basket Bomb": Your goal is to accurately drop a bomb into any open top tanks' turret basket (e.g. M10 / M18 / the big german td's / the german AA's etc.)! Extra points if you use a very low-tier aircraft like a biplane, for the funnies. I think that would be extremely fun and it would make me so happy if you gave it a try

been playin WT for 10 yrs. i think i stopped getting upset about losing 5+ years ago....

wow a chicken reference... gotta get him back on here

tbh odd maybe use the AP on the bulldog more. There are a lot of kills in the video that will be a one shot if you use AP :O

One thing i notice now when i watch this video is how you easely get like 3-4 kills while i struggle to get more than 2😂

what skill man awesome specially that plane battle there

Uh, there was actually an option to bring 2 1000 lbs, 1 2000 lbs, and 12 HVARs before it got custom loadouts, they changed the base loadout for some reason when they added the custom ones. It's still a buff IMO as mighty mouse rockets are better than HVARs IMO, but it's not a huge change.

Thumbnail typo… insane not insnae

Now you can do a "Fan loadouts" series where you fly CAS with loadouts dictated by patreon or RU-vid commentors.

I personally get mad when I lose a match like that first one... because I do exceptionally well, get like 10 to 15 kills, fighting to the very end, and my team managed to get like 4 kills between them all and didn't cap while I was in the air... war thunder games are too but to win own your own, so if my team is incompetent, it makes me angry. But I should learnt o just appreciate how well I did.

Lol were you pissed the first game you took it out and only saw 2 bombs and thought they nerfed the payload,? I almost had a heart attack lol

great video as expected fun and u learn stuff and at 18:52 Ah yoo

This is way too much ordnance for that low SP cost , in your second battle it was only at 620 . This is one kill and some spotting with an assist in a M41, USA still has the best CAS . A Do335 at 5.7 is quite good also , but it flys and compresses like a boat . The AD 4 does'nt care , full load , dive down over 600kph no problem . I never played the AD 4 but I was 100% sure that you pancake into the ground at that dive . 😅

I have just noticed that my f4u and my p47 get g suit modifications as well as my m42 gets nvg. All st 4.7!

People will still say that CAS is not broken

Definitely the best flying I've seen out of you, Bawz. Good sht!

I’m listening to a video about war thunder while playing war thunder and then I get an ad about war thunder.

Nice typo in the thumbnail :D

is there a list anywere over which planes has custom loadouts?

The AD-4 is literally my worst nightmare in this game I hate it when enemy players take it out

whats the setting to be able to select what rockets you wanna fire???

Nobody: Odd: "I N S N A E"

Bringing back the CAS, "noice" with a New Jersey accent. *Not from Jersey

ngl I only watch tanks gameplay and only pre-cold war

Question. Why do carry the solid shot ap? Is the damage better than the apds?

thank you Odd !!!!!!!!!!

Omg Odd, you are soo accurate with thouse rockets, great video as always

How is your ability to spot tanks this good?

Is this an option you turn on? I just looked and I don't have the ability to do a custom loadout

pls do a vid on the a1h pleeeaaassseeee

btw how do you shoot 2 rockets at the same time

I just wish the American bulldog had the smoke launchers like the German one does.

These days it’s more of a hellcat and sky raider combo 😢

Will the a2d get this?

bro is it just me or does the ptl02 get so many ghost shells? ive been playing the ptl02 for a while but recently i've been getting way too many ghost shells in my ptl02, i had a game (started pretty good) got near B point and i see a turms (this is my 9.7 lineup) and i roll out of cover and shoot at it, nothing, as i hid a t80um2 drove out and just noticed me. i aimed at the middle and fired and once again nothing which lead to my death, then i spawned in my ztz96a(p) and it was just fine so either its the vehicle of because both my shots were with thermals

SINCE WHEN DID THE M41 HAVE APBC

Hello Odd, Just love your videos and your scottish accent (no homo tho) keep up great work, you are my most fav WT youtuber

Yeh trully insnae

Thumbnail got a typo lol

Frankie Boyle plays war thunder 😂

Can you just add maximum mighty mouse rockets or is there a limit?

A new OddBawZ video. My day is perfect thanks to you ^^

AD-4 Skybully

They said to never try to learn this game from war thunder content creators because the video are highly edited and spectacularized... Still without an expert friend it's the only way I have to learn how to suck less with paper armor tankd and low agility CAS.

i get mad when i have low sl and expansive tanks :(

You lost the first game because your team died off quickly on the ground while you were in air and then almost all of the rest got in planes as things were turning around. The easiest way to lose a ground match is to have the entire team get in aircraft and let enemy cap. It did look fun, but it clearly shows how silly the cap game mode and lack of aircraft limitations (how many can be up at once) are.

I would like to see if you have this plane or can request a test drive of the Russian 2.0 battle rated Attacker the Tandem MAI I have never seen this plane. Sound like it maybe okay according to the wiki but that may be a miss informed

is it just me or do the people in the killcam look kinda wierd at 22:53

what advice would you give for aircraft grinding? i find it extremely painful and slow and can't figure out a way to accelerate it
