He-162 In War Thunder : A Basic Review 

THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING

Oh yeah because this matters in the game lol. Definitely no other priorities. Notice the lack of drop tanks on every plane up to top tier, an addition that would actually matter. Gaijin doesn't give a fuck, because only top tier makes money. May 26 don't play the game!

@@HalIOfFamer dont take me wrong, i just left this coment because was relevant to the video but my list of improvements and sugestions to the game is as long as the one of scams and sneaky shadow changes that gaijin has pulled on the players.

@@StrayGuard fair

@@HalIOfFamer i might event leave it here if you are interested in passing it along

@@StrayGuard please do so I am complicated my very own to spread around so it might be good insight and you might have had better ideas.

I love breakdowns like this on how best to fly a specific plane. It takes so much of the guesswork out of learning them

Especially the jets that are around the superprop BRs, Yak-15 for example.

or even bombers, the 1hr fuel loads are still a lot of excess weight vs what id want to use. id love to see it added as it is done in IL2, i loved the system they have for fuel and ordnance. even the fact you can take less ammo in your guns and such

j21RB is what i think about immediately with this in mind being forced to take either 6mins or a full tank of 20mins is horrible and a slider to go in between those would absolutely improve its performance

That makes me curious. My best guess about why they have it like that and not slider was: They use this type of choosing fuel, because each one of these options requires adjustments to the flight model (due to mass distribution and changes to that mass)....Or they are just lazy af.

@@little_shady_fox but the flight model is already being adjusted mid flight as fuel is used up

it looks really cool too

hey depending on your age when you played you might have been having an authentic piloting experience.

Same, it is at a perfect BR currently, and depending on how you play can be a complete dud or dominate games

If only Germany at 5.0 - 7.0 wasn't a 2v6 every other game because of those 288s

There is a fantastic unpainted skin on the community also.

Yeah, the 335 will get a review at some point as well - another fascinating story.

Emergency meant that it didn't use any critical resources to make outside of the engine. Outside of the general airframe design there really isn't anything technologically advanced about it as it used as much bare bones tech that it could.

@@rainsilent maaybe the inclusion of the ejector seat made me think its quite complex,lol

@@gustiwidyanta5492 Understood. The ejection seat was fairly basic and used compressed gas if I am not mistaken. It was the same system as the 335's.

Same, its one of those planes that even if it sucked I'd still fly it and love it.

@@TimsVariety i think the same about the rocket planes like the Me 163 and the BI hahaha

Yes... one of the *many* badly in need of an update lol

I live to serve. :-)

@@TimsVariety Idk how tou do it, but your always there when i need info about a plane

I've only done one Meteor so far, the night fighter one with the radar. The Meteor is one of those planes where I can't really decide if I want to do one longform vid about the entire series, or individual vids about individual Marks, but spaced out over months/etc, because there are just so many of them that are similar and only a few that are stand-out, so to speak. TBD.

@@TimsVariety my humble advice, or what i would do if i was a ytuber, the mk 3, mk 4 and the premium reaper mk 8 since its identical to the reugular mk 8 other than the bombs. idk tho. keepup the vids man, best part of my day to learn about my enemies planes

I'll get to the F-86 eventually :-)

@@TimsVariety thanks!

doesn't it have less ammo and worse round velocity?

@@serch3ster Indeed. But the lower ammunition amount is canceled out by the destructive power of the shells. However two Mk 108s are probably overkill compared to two MG 151/20 vs fighters 🙃

Sadly, I don't have access to the A-1 (otherwise this review would have covered both), but if it ever becomes realistically obtainable again its on my "worth it to grind" list for sure. :-)

@@serch3ster Yes, this is true. The upside to the MK108s is the raw firepower: the 20mm cannon will require a few hits to reliably kill, whereas even singular hits with the 30mm can potentially be fatal to fighters.

that things is increbily rare tho, last i checked there were 0 of them on the market place

I'm sure I'll get to one, or both, of them - but it probably wont be soon. I try not to review planes that are "too close to each other" too soon together, if that makes sense.

@@TimsVariety Makes perfect sense! I really like the plane but am kinda bad with it and want to do better when I play it with my friends. As always have a good one Tim!

Yeah, I didn't want to spend the 20 minutes on the whole history with the "tego film" resin glue, but thats a whole fascinating side story on its own where one bombing raid crippled 50 different projects.

@@TimsVariety Same effect they were hoping for by going after the ball bearing plants in Schweinfurt (IIRC/?)

@@IMCDundee Yes, except that the target wasn't the glue factory itself. The glue factory just happened to be a part of a industrial complex that was critical to the German supply chain of raw materials in general. To add on to Eric Brown liking it, the British high command did too. So much so that they thought that it was better than their Vampire and briefly considered doing something with the 162. One of the few flying examples coming apart in mid air during a demonstration flight killing the pilot because the pilot decided to do a maneuver that he was explicitly told not to do due to structural concerns abruptly ended any interest the British had.

I generally use offline print books as my primary sources.

The last time I played it, it was at 6.7. I have to take it for a spin.

It sucks that a lot of planes like this are completely at the mercy of the matchmaker ... I have a really hard time in these early jets when they get uptiered like that. .. then you get the repair bill ....

@@TimsVariety If the repair bill was reasonable, early jets and Super props would be all I played.

@@wowdanalise Might not be *all* I played, but I'd spend a LOT more time in those brackets to be sure!

@@TimsVariety This plane wasn't mean to be repaired but replaced. Be thankful we don't have to buy a new one and spade it after every battle LOL.

@@alfredware The ONE. TIME. that I'm glad Gaijin got a technical detail about a plane wrong!! ;-)

The 229 will be getting a review at some point. Love that thing.

If only 229 had the ability to carry bombs, as it supposed to.

Mostly just because its the UI default for most regions, and its what most players use as far as I'm aware. Nothing significant.

Im submitting my own proposal to the snail - the video I did a few days ago is a preview.

@@TimsVariety but is it possible for you to interact with them? Or your visions are too different? I just thought that you could do a lot more together than apart

economy be like

As fast as possible. 500kmh or faster at the start of the match.

@@TimsVariety whats your ideal climb speed

The next early jet on the review list is the Mig-9.

262 is surprisingly fast for its weak engines, looking at you, attacker.

Yep, it should not face any early jets

Its hard to know sometimes if its intentional, or incompetence. Based on the back-and-forth I've had on some of the bug reports I've submitted about Chinese jets (the Q-5 series, and J-8, specifically) I suspect they might not have been using very good/much info in the first place.

I get that this is going to appear as Germany suffers but it isn't. These are just two egregious examples I got to see happen first hand. These issues aren't limited to German aircraft as aircraft from nearly every major tree that isn't Soviet has suffered from something similar in some way at some point. I think it is just straight up Gaijin incompetence and selective interest in fixing specific vehicles. This is why. Example 1. The Ju-87D-5 took 2 years to get it's dive brakes. When the bug report was first submitted Gaijin said that the 87s being shown in the report weren't D-5s. When that was proven wrong Gaijin then said that they still weren't D-5s as the D-5 never had them at all to begin with. When that was proven wrong via Junkers documentation Gaijin made another excuse. It kept going for 2 years until Gaijin finally decided to fit the dive brakes but only if it wasn't carrying gun pods. Example 2. The He-100D. A player scrounged up all of the surviving original German documentation on the He-100D, including a few documents from Heinkel itself, to show that the He-100D in game was wrong. Primarily that the He-100D had a standard cooling system similar to the 109 and had a MG151 cannon of some type (15mm or 20mm could not be proven specifically but it is known that it had a MG151 cannon of some sort) shooting through the propeller hub. Gaijin's response? "According to our sources what is in game is the production He-100D as it was sent to be trialed by the Soviets from Heinkel." The players then dug up the relevant information from Heinkel itself showing that what was sent to the Soviets was in fact 3 V armed prototypes sent before the actual production prototype He-100D was finished being built and present it in response. Gaijin's reply? "According to our sources the He-100D that we have in game is the production He-100D. The documentation you have provided is wrong."

P-51 H1, cough cough, Ju 288c spam no fighters every match automatic loss cough cough

Its more of a meme at this point than anything else,

British Mustang. Keep it fast . Doesn't climb the best but it can be enjoyable especially with some friends

Im sure I'll get to it eventually :-)
