Most Broken Warthunder Features 

Check out the sponsor it really helps support me: bit.ly/ZoltanAion Don't forget to use the code "ZOLTANSULTANDAEVA"

I remember when they add submarines on an April fools, and for some reason all the torpedoes became mini nukes in ground battles

You know what’s currently a stupidly broken feature? The AAA around the mini-bases at lower tiers. It’s so stupidly accurate and powerful that if you’re not staying far away from them or bombing the base at very high altitude, you get torn to shreds in about 10 seconds flat

To be honest, I'd love to see them develop the bomber aspect in War Thunder. Bring some of those fancy Cold War bombers into the game. A lot of the top tier jets are designed as interceptors, would be nice to have them actually perform as intended.

You can blame the JU288 for making the non-stop respawns for bases because they used to end matches within minutes even before fighters got into the air.

8:00 you can still bomb the airfield on some maps, and low tier bombers like the F.222.2, while not capable of soloing 3 bases and the airfield like they used to be, are still a viable strategy

The afterburner can actually be adjusted anywhere between 101 to 110% and can give really solid control over thrust and especially fuel consumption

Always a glorious day when zoltan uploads Also, in air rb as of maybe a few months back at least, maps with only 3 bases don't respawn, and once all 3 bases are destroyed you can bomb the airfield. The 4 base maps infinitely respawn though

The jet afterburner trick works on some prop planes, too! It keeps you from overheating from full on WEP instead.

I think the final nail for bombing bases and the AF to end the game was the release of the F-4 phantom, everyone would just spawn in, load a full set of bombs, and end the game in about a minute

3:22 that ad plug was pretty damn smooth ngl

With lots of experience playing the Ju-288c, I much prefer the maps with infinitely respawning bases. They provide much more points. Well, they used to...

Hot take: I actually somewhat like the fact the bases respawn the reason being that my internet is terrible so I'm basically always the last one to spawn meaning that I can't even get to a base and destroy it if they are already gone and the only thing left is to attack the air field but by that point it's basically meaningless because either your entire team of bombers is dead so you can't really do anything to the airfield to destroy it and because you can't destroy it you don't really even get any rewards for it. But with how they constantly respond now even those bombers that are lagging behind they still have a chance to get som SL and Rp.

you should do a video where you talk about every update

During that time of the T-2K's dominance I decided to abuse the Air Simulator Battles rewards system but not in an exploitive sort of way. This was self-deprecating and self-sabotage. I had the MiG-19 grinded out shortly after release with the talisman'd MiG-17, but it was bone stock so I opt into fly my Tu-4 against T-2K and was shot down so many times by the same guy (who was also using ESP in EC Air Sim) that I had lost all of my over 700,000 SL in that one match and was in at -30,000 sl in the hangar. I then forced myself to play biplanes in arcade until I could recoup the cost.

Remember for a short time around when the F4 phantom was first added you can go as full team taking bombs to rush the bases and airfield, winning in a few minutes

The J5N1 is one of the interceptors that gets an air spawn and its quite satisfying to be able to smack the enemy bombers before the fighters even arrive or gain a 1000 - 2000 meter advantage

I planned to use the QN strategy with spikes in squadron battles to just kill the enemy SPAA. We will see how it goes.

Great video man, keep it up!

7:40 still remember Tu-4, 4 per team

you should be ashamed of that ad segway xD that was amazing man, love your stuff

The B7A2 Homare 23 is my favorite example of aircraft that can abuse the airspawn and I'm surprised you didn't mention it. It can literally abuse airspawn more, because it has a bomber spawn, yet can also act like a decent fighter. It climbs pretty fine without bombs, it turns like crazy and has a good amount of horsepower. Literally if a B7A2 holds the altitude, it can easily rampage around if not taken care of.

Now that you showed the carpathians fall through the floor glitch they're gonna block off even more of the map I bet. It's my favorite map because of all the flank routes and secret areas for SPAA to hide :(

That change about the bombers is honestly what was requested for a VERY LONG TIME. There was a time it was a constant spam of Yer-2 bombers who would END match in a matter of mere minutes

that has to be the cleanest transision to the ad i have ever seen

My favorite feature was during the sturmtiger event where you had to stop waves of vechiles with sturmtiger and pack guns if you rammed a Sherman you could actually make it spin like a helicopter for a period of time

Zoltan, have you seen the weird trench at the north border of the italian low tier air test flight map, it is a full on mariana trench on land. Though you may find that interesting. Thanks for the great vids, can't wait for the next one

6:41, similiarily, Whirlwind P.9 and the regular tech tree version, both at 3.7, get an airspawn, climbrate comparable to XP50, which itself is 4.0 i believe, and has 4x 20mm guns centrally mounted, so it shreds everything. about a month ago i played 4 air RB battles with it and has 15 kills..

I love that you can reload Torpedoes in Naval EC when its Realistic and firing too. Just get the Front or Back of your Ship 1m into the Harbor so the Launchers are outside of the Torpedonets. Works really good with 15-20km Torps . You can use Planes up to 7.0 there too. My Record with the B-29 was around 160 Tons of Basedamage 😁

So the QN506 can basically do what its actually supposed to be able to do IRL but on accident. The landing pad on it is for an actual drone that's supposedly able to lock targets and fire the missiles without even exposing a little bit of the tank

Oh god, the wyvern and B5 are so annoying to play against because they fly like fighters but get an airspawn

Still the most op method of getting huge adventage was setting your game to lowest possible options. Bushes from far away were gone, almost whole maps just plain terrain and you see tanks moving there. Easy as hell

You remind me a Ton of "Slippy Slides", the cadence and all that. You got a great voice for making vids like this!

i especially love when in arcade battles my tiger 2 gets bombed by an A-10 because oh i guess they were made at the same time and it was common for tigers to face warthogs

2:15 you can actually do that also with ur controller’s joystick by flicking it really fast. But you cant choose the stage of ur af as precise

You can scout the armored train on Flanders and it will show in the Minimap :O

Whats the UI mod you used for the afterburner section? Great video btw!

As someone who has put almost 24 hours into the T-2 recently, if you know not to fly asleep at the wheel and have pitch up as a keybind, it is totally possible to survive against most AAM you’ll find at its BR, and even at a full up tier

Love the way you make sponser ship

Nice editing!!

I remembered one time that attackers from rank VI and up had air spawn and it’s broken. It made almost every attacking jet op. As a Su 7 BMK pilot from the day the jet was released, i used this to bomb or take down fighters. Harriers were terrifying back then. Players used this to get quick victories. Gaijin removed air spawn form high ranks. Now, Powercreep just ruins 8.3-10.3 BR because an Aim 9L missile was coming to yeet your ass right off and no countermeasures to save you. The introduction of the A-10 at 9.7 was the beginning of powercreep (Everyone thought it was bad, but it was better than people thought).

Gotta love the T-2 had a radar lead indicator and minimal ground clutter, dunking on other jets like no tomorrow

Honestly I'm surprised you didn't mention the absolutely ridiculous state of the R3 T20 when it was implemented, but besides that I'm glad you brought back all these memories! (some unpleasant cough cough puma cough cough)

Merry Christmas, lad :)

damn that fire and forgor missile thing with drones is actually op

Cleanest sponsor transition I’ve seen

Okay guiding your own missile with your own uav sounds really badass. Like, I wouldn't even be mad if I died to that

I remember feeling so accomplished and satisfied the couple of times I managed to destroy the enemy airfield in air RB

What i want to know is how you got the afterburner and effective fuel overlay, is that just in editing?

I love these series

Loved the rhyme for the ad

Oh man I remember these days and there long gone and I loved the T2 and the R2Y2 a bomber with crap for bombs and never mind it is not even a actual produced or prototype plane and surprised they haven't taken it out yet like they said they were going to.

Rocket based vehicles got unlimited ammo in AB It makes for some super fun gameplay imo, you can just full auto in the packs of clueless enemies

ok thanks now im going to head back grinding but with these tricks

Loved the Bombing part of the game, have researched loads of planes with bombers and found it a lot more relaxing to play...

The whole “spawn in the sky due to categorization” is kinda busted when using mid tier Germany because many planes are categorized as strike aircraft even though the description barely fits

Well I know for sure that on some maps you can still destroy the airfield. Essen, Sicily, Pacific Hidden Base, one version of Mozdok that I forget the name of, Fjords (I think), Guiana Highlands, Naro-Fominsk, and Greenridge.

That sponsor transition was clean

Yay forget to metion that T-2 when it was introduced it came with an early arcade-style version of radar-assisted ballistic computer that tell you the gun lead when locking onto an enemy. This feature is quickly getting rid of.

I use my scrollwheel as the aircraft throttle and sometimes I would do precise scrolls and it will show 101%. Didn't know this was what it was

At one point after the t2 was first added I remember having a sub 2 minute game on wake island shredding all of the f100s like it was nothing

6:39 I can see what you did there lmao you put a Wyvern on a Wyvern

Regarding bombing I think the bases and auxiliary airfield should be bombable from the start. Then at low tier attackers can bomb respawning bases while heavies can deal with a repairing airfield. At top tier runway denial munitions would be a fun addition (like on the tornado) so am auxiliary airfield can be put out of action/reduced efficiency with normal respawning bases aswell

Well, when Italy finally have ground tech tree R3 T20 once sit in BR 3.3 and just like Pak Puma when released, it's shred anyone especially when downtiered

"Named by someone who fell asleep at the computer and forehead slammed their head into the keyboard" *The PakPuma* 🤣🤣🤣

Loved the sponsor intro ngl

btw i love your videos plz don't stop posting ❤

Okay that drone lock on missile thing is kinda genius 🤯

I have been a bomber main since I started I have been playing for 5 years and still love to play my b17s and b29s. And slowly I watched almost all maps with bombable bases disappear I hate it now and it genuinely makes me sad because I had 2 relatives flying b17s during the war but I can’t live that on if I don’t want to play bombers if the the base bombing sucks. Gaijin please fix , please

Damn that QN trick

3:12 did he just make a very smooth rhyme for unexpected sponsor????

3:20 that was smooth

just like the t-2, The MBT-70 and KPZ-70, were the first true cold war era mbt tanks added to the game. it got to a point where, they faced them selves and every single map had to be rebalanced and scaled for the mobility of the mtb-70/kpz. tank acceleration was lower across the board back then, so it took a minute or two to get where the action was. Not for the MBT-70. so everybody in there top tier ww2 tanks got slammed when they had to face discarding sabots, heatfs, and tanks driving to the opposite side of the map within 1 min of the game starting. there wasnt enough cold war era tanks at the time to saturate top tier. its also the reason they made bigger maps in the future and slowly took all the vanilla maps out of high tier game play. i remember getting dumped by these things in my tiger 2. On the note of the bombing airfields to end the game. back in the early stages of ground RB, the same mechanic was in there. with enough players to help you, or enough time to do it youself, you could end a ground rb match by destroying thier airfield spawn. not to many players caught attention to this. so you didnt have to worry about players shooting you down as much as they do in air RB.

How do you show the trust weight on planes like how you do at 3:01?

5:30 how is that F-4E carrying the 30mm gatling gun gunpods?

You good sir may touch my goat for these tips!

Bro what was that song in his intro, that hit differently 😂

Dude that AION online rhyme came around 4 edges and hit me directly in the FACE!

Bombing the Airfield was fun but also kinda bullshit because the F222 (The nearly reserve french bomber) has a big enough bomb load that 4 of them were able to end the game, at a low enough BR that not only could most planes never climb high enough to touch you, but you faced such low level players that they could never counter it

How did you have that effective flight time fuel and thrust overlay? Can't seem to find any info about it

Hey, how do I make that information of the throttle percentage appear, like you have it? (2:49) Thanks

Another W from Zultan

can you tell me where you got the second stat overlay from i would like to add that to my game.

Honestly, bombers nowadays are mostly grind planes Air RB has this problem, bombers in matches depending on what Gaijin decides are either useless and wasted team slots or whatever the enemy team ends up doing during the match doesn't matter. Tickets on most matches are a useless mechanic because what ends up happening is that one team kills all the other team players and that's it. But sometimes a lone player or two decide they don't want to die or leave, so they stay at a safe spot for them. This is the true purpose of tickets, shitty ground vehicles you can kill with whatever gun you have on your plane so you can bleed the enemy tickets until they reach 0 or gets you a win when the match is over But the thing is, there isn't always that option because whatever is in the ground might be too tough for your guns and then you're screwed, because if the people doing this are bombers, they destroyed your bases and now you're in a ticket disadvantage There used to be a mechanic which consisted on a lot of small enemy vehicles spawning in the same place somewhere near the enemy airfield, so you could basically go and kill them to end the match. But at the same time, you could grab a bomber, go really high, wait a ton of time, idk how long it used to take, but around 20-30 min, then bomb the vehicles and win the match, so that wasn't a solution either The main problem is, planes should just fight to the death and that's it, but you just can't force that. iirc now airfield protections are disabled when only one plane is left, and the general area of the last plane is revealed in the map It's just a troublesome matter that hasn't an easy solution, but at least in top tier that is less likely due to missiles and the limitations of fuel consumption on afterburner I deviated from the original topic, but yeah, bombers should be shit in this game, that's always better than them being op

When I use a wheeled tank and I drive it to the edge of a stone or hill, my tank tires will get stuck in the ground and I can't move 😢

you can still bomb the airfeild (its easy at 1.0 br)

how did you get in that pleace in red desert?, i need to kow i cen't find the way to get up there

7:51 To my knowledge, bases don't infinitely respawn anymore or get the respawn timer set so high that it doesn't matter regardless.

Hurricane attacker gets airspawn even if you remove the giant cannons so then youre just a forward spawning hurricane :) i hate them cause i just want to ground strike in the stuka

I’m pretty sure that at least in lower tiers you can still win by destroying the airfield and the bases don’t respawn

I’m surprised that he didn’t include the JU-288 in this list. Plane is so broken for it’s br

QN506 going up in value rn

Babe wake up zoltansultans back

Funny thing is the QN505 is supposed to be able to get a use a drone to also lock the weapons. Gaijin just refuses to add the rotor drone and the unique feature of the QN506.

Bro the Radkampfwagen is cracked

Early war thunder was so good the height of weapons was cannons or 4 50’s 😂

as an old school bomber specialist(79 days), I made my SL fortune ( 115 million SL) ruining other people's games using a Ju288 ( & the A26c, still OP IMHO) . The changes to balance this were unfair on the other bombers. killing an AF proved to the fighters only jocks, that bombers were contributing to the win.

the afternurner is a mechanic, airfraft irl have stages of afterburner

Can you add this to another useless facts about war thunder ZoltanSultan If you drive down the main road on the top right of the map on fulda there is a crack in the textures and you can fall through the map And in my R3 i went in it bounced a few times in the water and got shot right back up into the map and phased through the floor near the enemy spawn (In a custom)

So i guess that the buccaneer s2 is a great "fighter" since it only has a ground spawn. NICE
