More Things You Might Not Have Known About War Thunder | Cool and Goods 2 

─── Read EVERYTHING before leaving a comment! ─── -The icon on the FJ-4B isn't actually unique, but it's still pretty neat -The Vietnamese T-34 anti-air is technically also a premium SPAA, but it was an event vehicle and not purchasable with GE -The Soviet test flight map also has a train -The Czechoslovakian, Cuban, New Zealander, Imperial Russian naval and British naval flags are also in the game -Some planes like the F104 can actually drop bombs while going faster than Mach 1 -Your aiming reticle turns orange on vehicles that you can tow, not only on dead tanks -Seversk-13 also has speakers -The mines in Normandy are anti-tank, not anti-personnel -The American carrier isn't the only destructible one Also small oopsie, at 3:44 I say "speaking of wheels" when I wasn't actually speaking of wheels in the previous clip. I had to scrap a different clip that was supposed to go before it, which was actually about wheels. I'll also edit this comment if you guys find any other inaccuracies, so if you do, leave a comment.

They should really nerf railway_gondola_wagon, its too op

On the French test map for planes, you can fly all the way across the channel, to Britain. On British test map, you could, but you get the "return to battlefield" message

On the map American Desert the locomotive is actually a very accurately modeled EMD F series (most likely F7), the paint scheme is fictional tho

I believe the PO-2 should be awarded the second vehicle to receive female crew models.

Another fun one: shooting the church bell causes it to ring

It's rare a video about War Thunder's cools and goods rather than the usual warms and bads

As a train enthusiast, one of the things that really made me appreciate the devs is how accurate all the trains are, they're always period/locale appropriate and are prototypical to their real-life counterparts, even down to some of the interior modeling that you can notice when you wreck them.

There's one more flag, New Zealand has a ship in the British tech tree. HMNZS Leander. I didn't expect anyone to notice though because we are always left out

As a railfan, it hurts to see players abuse the trains

Changing the thermal color with the keybind once destroyed my graphics card completely.

“The bridges in Tunisia can collapse if your tank is too heavy” I’ve seen it break from 38(t) s driving over it before

5:05 It also does that with friendly vehicles that has towing enabled. So I conclude it's when you can tow, not only dead vehicles

Other planes when they stall: Incline to one direction German superior engineering: *Saltos*

The [unintelligible] part of the Vietcong propaganda is: "thick with the [scrub] trees and tall grass"

It took me 5 min to render the first 5 seconds on 4G Best internet in croatia But i have to watch my monthly SKdogers

4:22 I've captured the zone... but at what cost?

4:56 doesn't the orange reticle appear because you have the option to tow it? If you put your reticle over a teammate to tow the lad, your reticle will also turn orange afaik.

Stop code: "Moj je tata zločinac iz rata" I see you're a man of culture

6:15 There is something like this in Seversk-13 the new map, but it’s in Russian and I have no idea what it says… It’s near the B point in domination game mode

I already knew about most of the test flight ones since I spend a lot of time in there but man I was really impressed by the Veitcong Propaganda that's some great detailing by Gaijin.

Reloading ATGMs longer makes sense, because the crew has to set up the guidance system. Be it plugging in wires, setting the beam to ride, activating the lazer seeker, etc..

12:20 They also don't have any bomb sound which is pretty neat.

3:01 hmmmmm wonder whats in that train. or should I say WHO is in that train.

06:12 that speeker is in B at Seversk -13 map too

I just spent the last 3 hours exploring all ships and tanks in the game and some planes... thanks for the ALT+F2 tip. awesome.

I feel bad for slaughtering the train in the German test drive now that i realise that it honks at you

By the Way: The British Carrier on the Naval Planes Test fligth is also destructible, and if you are in a Plane that spawned from that Carrier, you will be sent back to the main menu after crashing.

1:55 when war thunder building interiors are modelled better than gta v ones

9:14 there is also a Czechoslovakian flag on a now hidden premium Mi-24 in russian helicopter tree

The long awaited episode!

I'm from Alaska and i love playing the Alaska map. The buildings look like they're from the east coast but the environment looks great!

Great job man!

Stop code: moj je tata zlocinac iz rata LMAO

i have found 2 slight innacuracies. 4:05 - there is a premium Phòng không T-34 russian SPAA. it was added around 2017 as an event vehicle. wiki.warthunder.com/Ph%C3%B2ng_kh%C3%B4ng_T-34_(USSR) 5:05 - the aiming reticle becomes orange to show when you can winch a vehicle. it also becomes orange when ur looking at a friendly alive vehicle, and has the winch enabled. good video tho. didnt know about the dissapearing smoke in the german test flight map and the train. edit: train on german testflight map.

The mines on Normandy are Tellermine 42 AT mines. They should blow tracks off and cause internal damage by spalling if modelled correctly. But nobody would even consider going on the beaches if that was the case.

Great video as usual SK! Keep it up!

Fun fact: The p51-c shows you the IAS speeds for landing gear and angle of flaps in the cockpit

The Russian test flight map has a train, too

I really wish we would get a wider variety of maps for ground vehicle test drive. Like different nations get different maps. One thing I also wish we could get for test drive in general is to be able to change what enemy vehicles you want to test against.

1.The carriers in normandy can be used, but are reserved for team that starts on the beach area, basically what happened in d day. Also if you drop bombs on the carriers they will start anti air fire against you. Also the ships in normandy are destructible. I would like to see 2 carriers reserved for each team and 1 should be a capture zone. 2. The Ash River map has a lighthouse with a British flag, regarding the fact that it is situated in North Ireland. 3. A bell on the church of American desert rings when you shoot a 183 mm hesh at it.

On American desert if you hit the church bell it rings. On Seversk 13 you can hear the radio in police cars.

The aiming circle changing color is actually very useful for me as I always get confused by the paint of japanese tanks and think they are dead even though they aren't...

On Seversk-13 at b, on domination mode, you can hear people talking from the building

There are infantry hidden within actual mission maps. But are not easy to notice. Whom will attempt to go into prove position when you flyby or attempt to shoot you

Something for the next cool and goods: When loading into the British test flight map in a naval vehicle (Like the Sea Vixen or Harrier) you can see a random MiG crashing into the water quite far out

The mission maker in test drive, that...that is something I've never seen with over 2.5k hours...time to have my epic B-17 formations!!

The unique guidance system icon is present in many aircraft. It used to signify that the missiles were SACLOS. This year, all SACLOS missiles on planes have been nerfed to MCLOS but the icons remained. If you bomb the track in front of a train, the train will stop right where it is at that time. If you get in the train's way, it will run you over but if you get in the way of the moving tank in the tank test drive, it will stop and won't hit you. Bridges are considered enemies. If you destroy one, you get the "enemy destroyed" notification. They also show up on radar scopes. If you destroy the propeller of the first Il-2 in the soviet test flight, all the other planes will eventually colide with each other. You can kill a vehicle by driving your plane into it, provided that your speed is high enough. There are soldiers walking around in the Japanese test flight. You can kill them.

You gotta speak slower man

For the countries, there is also Czechoslovakia/Czechia with Mi-24D premium on Russian tech tree

Yea this is the best WT content on the YT. Thanks m8 you got another perm sub 👍

The AD-2 and AD-4 Skyraiders can float on water

I was wondering why the tracers looked so much better then I saw that this is an old video from an older version of War Thunder. Good times.

Hi love ur vids

9:22 It won't do damage but will chip off paint :)

You can press "Y" on any vehicle and it will display utillity settings for the vehicle like toggle flaps, toggle stablizer and so on

Thank you very much. Thanks to the Video I have learned a lot of interesting things from WT. Nice job!

3:20 if you destroy the bridge while the train is on it, the destroyed cars float in the air. At least, they used to but that may have been changed by now.

You can zoom in and out the minimap in ground battles by holding alt, hovering over it and scrolling with mouse wheel

10:05 with Yak-28B you can. But dunno if it's historicaly accurate.

I wish tanks and ships had the same feature as planes in 10:00

Fun fact: In the Karelia map, there's actually a small spot where a LV/33 can easily fit, the spot has the shape of a door, it's made of concrete and it's ubicated at the hill in the middle of the map!

Did you know that the "Fokker" company is actually a Dutch company, after WWI it moved to the Netherlands as it's creator, "Anthony Fokker" was a dutchman. The germans regained the company while WWII and after the german invasion into the Netherlands. After WWII however, the company went to the Netherlands again.

Can't wait to play this video when we're in VC, good content!

13:11 why is there Bosnia and in the text it says my dad is war criminal

SPAA’s turrets that follow you… that is creepy

Here’s one :some windows on the Alaska map are extremely buggy and just show you a strange picture of a building

@9:30 "In Air AB you can not damage your teammates." However the game will finally kick you after about a dozen of those warnings. And ramming does damage.

don't remember if this was mentioned in the first vid but tip for push dead tanks attach the tow hook even if you plan on pushing it in order to make pulling easier when you attach the tow hook the weight of the tank is lowered but this still works if you push

4:44 If you turn the lights off while sitting in a cockpit (1st person view), the lights will turn off in the 3rd person view as well.

When dirtying russian tanks with smoke barrels mounted on the back (like the IS4-M) the vehicle will get dirty, but the smoke barrels on the back will stay pristine.

No trains were harmed during the making of this video

12:50 “I show him ze little trick I learned!”

If you eject while having few damage on the map and stop your engine in air Rb it won't count as a death

On the top tier German test flight (jets) map, the city of Potsdam has two landmark buildings, one being Sanssouci Palace, the other being Belvedere on the Pfingstberg.

One just about every air test drive map, all friendly vehicles are destructible. But somehow only shooting friendly planes gets you a warning.

You can go on the bridge on the highway on cargoport that's blocked by trucks but the L3/33cc can fit underneath one of the trailers.

Hunter FGA.9 in Brit tech tree is the variant used by the Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) Airforce

the ADATS can lock targets with it's radar off, causing it to not give an RWR warning and giving enemy pilots less time to react. Note: this is not a bug, the actual thing can do this, even if you leave the radar on, there is no lock warning, just the pings

11:40 you sink ur ship you go down with it

6:50 this audio, it's "thick with shrub trees" which sounds a lot like "scrub" so yeah. Leave it to the American from Indiana to be like "I do not hear accents if you speak english I understand you"

neat fact: the white lily of Stalingrad decal is in honor of the most effective WWII pilot. the Yak 1B also has an unlock able skin for her

5:10 is actually a towing color, it wont change until you get in range of cable-inating

You can use the Test Drive setup screen to select the default order and number of shells you bring into battle. That way you don't need to rush to set it up before you spawn. Be aware that any new shells you unlock may be automatically loaded to full by default.

You literally just taught me about the tank battery. I didn't know what that was before.

The little icons in the vehicle selection bar show a spare wheel on top of both Ratels, even though there is none

4:03, actually, the 2S38 and QN506 are light tanks, but actually, the 2S38 is a 57 mm anti-air "artillery" and the QN506 has Sams so i'd say there are 3

I don't know if this has been mentioned before: On "Advance to the Rhine" there is a board with newspapers on the main road near the southern spawn. They include Nazi propaganda like the "Stürmer", but also modern german newspapers such as the "Zeit"

2:14 2:19 2:30 2:48 finally someone mentions the things I've been seeing on test drive Thank you

R3 T106 FA also has US crew models. Italian P40 it is the only tank in the game in which you can change the sight grid without downloading any of the WT live.

Also those AI Italian planes eventually land at the airfield too. Also the Irish flag is present because there’s an Irish ship in game.

about the battery drain. it also happen if you use either nvd, thermals or radar. I do not know but it should also drain it when you use the IR spotlight. and for that I have no idea, but it may also drain have the autoloader reloading. (never tested by myself) It also could drain it if you turn the wheels of a tank with wheels, and maybe even slow down the turning if the battery is empty.

Fun fact, the decal on Kisarazu heli is literally the anime depiction of the pilot of Kisarazu itself

we still actually have those speakers in vietnam! though instead of propaganda its news and the daily weather

4:38 If you go into cockpit view and turn off the light, it will be off in the third person view too. For some reason you just can't operate the light in third person view.

Wish they added the rest of those countries, Another country they should add is Switzerland. They were neutral but weren't afraid to shoot down allied or axis aircraft in WW2 if they entered swiss airspace

At 6:26 the unintelligible word that was said, was I believe disperse. For disperse trees and tall grass

Idk anyone knows this but there are signs leading to Berlin and Kiev on the Poland map. They point towards opposite directions. Also they are near the park area near A cap in domination

Also there are speakers on the B cap on Seversk-13 Ik Russian but I never stopped and listened to what they are saying, it's about an air raid or smth

6:15 There's also a chance for the speakers to play Hanoi Hannah's infamous "How are you G.I Joe?" broadcast, not sure the chances as i heard it only a few times.
