There was a small BR change made to the two first Stuka's we have access to. The Ju 87 B-2 and R-2 has their BR reduced from 1.7 to 1.3 - So now you can bomb the crap out of your enemies even sooner ! - all other information in the video is still correct. 🙂
@@dessirangelova2676 It depends on what you enjoy really. With the Stuka you will not get a proper bombing sight and if you do not spend enough time with them, they can be frustrating to use. The regular bombers do offer much more diversity and a proper bombing sight you can use in both air and ground RB. The bombers are also easier to spade. I would eventually do both though. You will get through the Stuka quick, since there are only 4 dive bomber models, but they are stuck at low BR and are somewhat limited in their bombloads and other capabilities. The regular bombers go up to BR 8.3 and their capabilities follow along your BR, the Stukas are stuck in what they can do. I suggest you eventually go both ways since the Stuka, once learned, is super fun and effective to use.
HI Snowrider, glad the video helped out some. I still want to tell people in game chat about my video when I almost every match see people just dive into the ground in Stukas and other dive bombers , but I am sure that is against Gaijin's ToS 🙃
That was a super nice compliment, thank you, Mrs tank maker - I am always worried that I am not doing a good job when it comes to that particular part of content creation.
Hi Nico, lol thanks ! someone has mentioned that before and it is very surprising to me, never thought about it. Its a fun idea with the video, maybe I can try make something with an intro :)
I dont remember who told me this but: Depending on the angle of attack/dive, if your speed is 400kph or less, the bomb shall drop below the crosshair. If above 400kph it shall fall closer to the crosshair if not over the crosshair.
This is not only the best War Thunder dive bombing tutorial on RU-vid but it's also the definition of a great tutorial. Concise, well-written, showing examples visually and no unnecessary fill-in contents. Extremely well made mate, thank you for this tutorial!
i still dont know how to change guns and how to dive:(. Maybe u will do the translated vid and, people from other countries will understand like me. (pls POLISH VERSION)
Can u show me how I get the Stuka? I am currently slightly new but I really wanna get that plane, may you do a tutorial? Edit: or just reply to me on how I get it pls 💓
Hey, you get the all the Stuka's from the German aviation tree, the first Stuka is available already at BR 1.7 - I would say the fastest way to earn them, is to join arcade air battles where you can use all your planes, It should be pretty fast for you then.
Are you having trouble aiming bomb use the tutorial for bombing and dive bombing wait a minute it said it was for 2021 but was released in 2020 now I'm confused
Are you confused about understanding the video or the fact that nothing has changed about how to bomb, why the tutorial is also valid in 2021 ? Let me know since I can help you in both cases, can't have you running around confused 🙂
Hi Lighting, Thanks ! that was a super nice comment, made me smile. Earning subs is a super slow climb, but it is climbing so that is always positive. I believe I need to earn each sub with the content I provide and as long as the number keeps going up so does my motivation for trying to make good (well what I think is good anyhow) content. 😀
Hi, yes it does, some dive bombers do not have the cradle for the center bomb so there will be a little difference in where to aim and they can't release the center bomb in as steep a dive as the ones with the bomb cradle. Otherwise its the same principle. Suggest to visit the practice range on the individual dive bombers just to find out exactly where the bombs hit.
I think its a combination of people throwing money at the game, a select few being in the creator program with WT and can request GE and vehicles and yes, some grind the hell out of the tech tree's.
@@dobs.0 for free there are some options, like doing the tutorials, some of them still I think give GE. Then there is the option if you are lucky and can get an GE wager from the daily log-in chest, I am working on one right now. You can participate in tournaments and events - selling the event vehicles on the marketplace and exchange the gaijin coins for GE. There is also an App for you phone for it and then there is this option www.idle-empire.com/rewards/free-war-thunder-golden-eagles. There might be more ways, but do not remember :)
When I took this legendary information and put it into practice I got it first try from 3000 m up it was with the 1000kg bomb tho still epik tho :D (I showed my friend and he said That now he fears any loud propeller planes) edit: what type of flaps are the best for this combat or raised?
Since this video ther've been 3 new stukas introduced, two G variants with 37mm cannons instead of bombs and a premium R variant which is otherwise the same as the R2. Would you make a short guide on ground attack with the cannons? I can bomb ok but always seem to miss with the 37s and they provide more ground attack opportunities in a single run than bombs.
Hi Loan, the G models were there when I made the video, but I concentrated on the proper dive bomber versions. I have however made a guide previously for the G models - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XB7Xjo0ZdLY.html 🙂
fun fact! if you choose a loadout with bombs on the wings and set up a bomb sequence to have all bombs dropped at once, the center bomb doesn't use the cradle, and instead detaches instantly! The 500kg + 4 50kg bombs are my preferred loadout
Hi Pika, that's not good, lol - if you perform a steep dive there is a chance the center bomb will hit the prop that is why the cradle is there in the first place. Maybe it should be reported as a bug :)
I didn't understand what you said when X marks where you should release the bombs which is behind the tank and in the same sentence you said to release bomb one tank length ahead of the target.
@@8BitDane I tried in test flight from what I understood by dropping behind the tank only scored a hit. Then I went to RB and dropped as usually do slightly ahead of tank. I am a new player in warthunder.
@@biker5719 you can get close, about the width of a tank with the wing mounted bombs, you need more distance with the center bomb due to the cradle. If you dive on tank, you need to aim below it so to speak from your point of view. You can see what I mean on this point in the video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ybf7EDLZKzo.html
chances are they will catch up to you eventually, but some you can still out run. Just remember that the more violently you zigzag the more you are going to lose speed and make them catch up to you. You should try play around with the Stuka in a custom battle and drop your bombs then try dogfight the AI planes, see how it feels. The D5 model has a pretty good punch with two 20 mm cannons. And mentioning the D models, they have twin MG for the gunner which can quite easily destroy a plane chasing you. But I think it is really from battle to battle, Twin fighters you can outturn and actually dogfight if they have low energy but regular fighters I would probably try to so smaller avoidance manouvres with and then switch to the gunner from time to time and see if you damage or destroy his engine.
Hi Stalker, lol yes, I think that is a classic whoopsie. At least you are not crashing a multi million dollar Mars Probe because of it, like an unnamed agency did 😝
Hi Logician, thanks ! glad you found the video right after you got the Stuka, hopefully it will save you from a lot of frustration and give you some sweet kills - let me know if you have any questions remaining.
Thanks for making this video and the others. I was so excited to get the Stuka when I started the German tech tree but when I couldn’t hit any targets to save my life I was really disappointed. Your channel is probably the most helpful War Thunder channel on RU-vid.
What bomb layouts to you all tend to use on your Stukas? Typically I just use the biggest bomb I can equip and forego the smaller wing bombs. Great video!
Hi Spiral, with the D-3 I usually go with 1k center and 2x250kg bombs for two drops and, 4x50 and 1x250kg for the B-2 for three drops. For the D-5 its 1x500 center and 2x250 under the wings - and thanks !
@@8BitDane gotcha. Thanks for the info! Obviously I’ll be using that single 1000kg bomb for the R-2. 😁 big boom! Haven’t played the game in probably 5 years and am slowing getting back into it.
Vielen dank habe es gefunden. Noch eine frage der Sirenen Sound funktioniert bei mir nur bei der Ju 87 B-2. Stimmt das oder bei allen Ju modellen. Denn ich habe mir die Ju 87 R-2 version gekauft und da funktioniert es nicht... Warum genau?@@8BitDane
@@einfachtim3873 Das ist richtig, im Spiel hat nur das allererste Modell die Sirenen. Soweit ich weiß, hatten die meisten Modelle die Sirene IRL und es war für den Piloten möglich, sie mit einem Schalter auszuschalten. Ich habe gelesen, dass die Sirenen bei den ersten Modellen, die nicht abgeschaltet werden konnten, die Piloten in den Wahnsinn trieben, außerdem gab es einen erheblichen Luftwiderstand am Flugzeug, da die kleinen Propeller der Sirenen während des Fluges in den Luftstrom gedreht wurden. Später gelang es ihnen, die Sirenen auszuschalten und den Luftstrom über die Propeller zu stoppen, wodurch die Stuka schneller wurde.
Hi Dounce, only if you attack from those steep angles, but try look at this other video I made for regular bombing in ground RB ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BuUebrWLzYE.html
Dam this is good thank you the game doesn’t give you a bomb drop tutorial and I myself at br 5.3 and still can’t bomb correctly thank you yet again and continue making these videos 👍
@@8BitDane update found naval arcade to be good and also a tip get to the FPS view And look down using the free look there will be a window that was made to found your target and when you get your target in there you start the dive
Ground targets are fairly straightforward; my problem always comes with running the gauntlets of anti-air batteries on the bigger ships. I tend to give a small spread with my payload, and go in guns blazing until they rip me apart. If I am, however, still intact when I get about 10m above the stacks, I throttle back, pull up hard, and firewall it again. End up kamikaze-ing more often than not, though.
@@8BitDane you'd be surprised how many players leave them set to surface vessels only. I'm still fairly new to the game, and even I know this is a grave mistake.
So after failing to even see the enemy after rolling over, and crashing into the ground without even dropping my bombs I searched for this kind of video and boy am I glad I found this! Really really helpful and well explained thank you very much Sir, im gonna bomb the shit out of BR1 Tanks now Cya!
@@vituralrealism5505 You need about 350 km/h before it activates, sometimes I don't even get it in a dive but after, when I have retracted the dive breaks.
well that was rude, now that you have spend time learning how to kill them in a precise and elegant manner. They should appreciate to get murdered in such a fashion. 🙃
