Most Competitive Mustang - P-51C-10 

Yeah. It's a weird bug.... Or feature

wuzz is a gay boi

Wuzz gay and hot

@@mr.squiggles7915 good to know he also did that to me. what an awesome guy.

Yeah my top played plane

It could be so much fun, If only it was in game when i was grinding american props))

Thanks for this answer bud, I've sort of started looking at getting into MEC with some of my favorite props, and useful help is much welcome. More is always helpful, please & thank you 😁

The late Mustangs are more simple than that really. Set radiators to whatever is needed to keep them cool (around 70% is pretty safe); the radiators cause very little drag so you can even set them to 100% with negligible speed loss, and you'll never overheat. Prop pitch should be 100% except when diving at high speeds or flying level after a dive where 80% or so ensures that (1. you dive faster and (2. you don't lose speed after a dive as quickly

@@Satanperkele same, I don’t know if it’s worth the time for me to set up my MEC for a handful of props.

@@Satanperkele set prop pitch to 100% in 109s

As a casual enjoyer of both air RB & grund RB, that's had periods of wild interest with one, or both simultaneously. Ive found the most daunting thing in my mind is getting the keybinds set up properly, and would appreciate If someone shared their MEC controls and why they're bound to (for example R = activating MEC).

Soon

actuahdfjioiohdfjhjlkhkfally it's 72 lbs of boost on D-10 so it's a little weaker than D-30

@@corvus8752 noted, thanks for letting me know.

I'm almost 100% sure that the D10 has the same airframe as the D20 or D30 and not like the D5 which is missing the vertical tail fin. Also the D10 has a very slightly lesser boost compared to the D30, they are not identical

It's run at 72 MP with late war airframe so it's not the same as D-5 a bit lighter and more boost, my most flew plane back then it was 4.7.

Maybe when people don't know how to use a plane they just call it BnZ

Yeah, I have had great success turn fighting with it. Even had a 4 kill game purely by turn fighting.

If you don’t know your plane, best do what it can. Boom and zoom. I did that it in the raiden and it helps

​@@kryfa6279You could remove your brain from your head, and still win with the J2M2. Such a badass plane.

@@leeham6230 you can do that better in the B-239

Any tactic which works on zeros is good for those pesky biplanes as well

@@HRCSJSUAMMAS you can easily double any biplane's speed though, just strike and retreat until it is dead

This one have api-t?

@@Arthur_Neves I believe so, but I use Ground targets belt which works pretty well

I never run into these planes…

I flew it a few months back and I got a sweet 4 kill game, energy trapping is so fun in the p51

@@johnadams614 can’t do the fun long drawn out chandelles anymore because of map timer but it’s still good

@@nahyeahwhatsahandle it was never changed but like ever since gaijin shrieked map timer down the p51s have gotten worse and unless you have insane aim (like hitting every shot no follow ups) or get lucky you can’t have that much fun since annoying stuff can run back to their airfield and stop you from carrying solo (which is how most games are since American teams suck) this wasn’t that bad with old map timer since you could drag them away from each other than chandelle (basically super wide energy trap takes 2-5 minutes depending on who you’re trying to stall and what altitude) green fury has some videos on these type of energy traps (yes I know green fury is a confirmed airfield camper however I have incorporated his Chandelle video has some useful info). Another problem with this plane now is that you can’t play top down (the way I like to play) without very good aim the way DEFYN is playing here is basically the way squishface plays (except defyn had way better aim) it’s not very consistent unless you’re pretty good at aiming since when you’re turning with things you’re at risk of getting swarmed and there is a little luck involved, for example where he lights that a6m on fire in the head on that was quite lucky and if he didn’t that engagement might have taken way longer and he would have run out of time, don’t get me wrong you can still do some chandelles in the p51 but with ticket bleed, airfield aaa, and a super short map timer this playstyle is just not that practical (unless you hit almost all your shots)

Also if you go RTB in the c-10 in a 1v5+ you kindve lose since the whole thing with it is snowballing your positioning through the match

actually you just put radiators at 70% and it never overheats at all, you don't need to change prop pitch

P-51 isn’t the only plane which tries to use the effect, and its low cooling drag isn’t just due to meredith effect. It’s the arrangement of rad assembly with internal layout that helps. Not to mention there is no thrust produced, but rather it has a very little cooling drag, which is not unique to P-51s at all. Most US designed planes tend not to suffer from overheating issues. Examples of other planes to make use of meredith effect to varying degrees of effectiveness are as follows: 1. Literallt all Hurricanes 2. Yak-1, Yak-3, Yak-9 3. Ki-61 4. DH.98, DH.103 5. Literally all Spitfires 6. Literally all Bf 109s

Tracers are great for the 50s to set enemies on fire and make them panic, but if you have good aim stealth belts are excellent for sniping enemies from long range in head ons without them even knowing. As for cannons armored is good for ground pounding but ground and air belts have more he and is better for aerial combat. There are some minor variations but incendiary or he focus tends to be the rule of thumb in my experience. Practice that aim though and you can absolutely murder unaware enemies with stealth belts

The F-8 is a great plane once you get the hang of it. It's *much* less prone to ripping above about 3000m, so it's generally best to start high and work your way down with it. It's AIM-9Ds also have great range at higher altitude, especially if you fire them downward, which is another reason to begin the match at 6k-8k meters (if you can spot the dot, the AIM-9D can hit farther out that markers appear if you are at high alt, or shooting down). Down low, speed and acceleration are pretty good, but you need to maneuver gently, so you usually need to look for chances to extend away, climb, and then pull your hard maneuvers at the top of the climb. It also helps to use the manual elevator to nose down the instant a G-warning shows up. Basically, treat the F-8 like a turn-fighter above 6km, while using missiles to hit targets far below you without sacrificing altitude, then treat it like a BnZ fighter below 6km. It has a high skill floor, but once you get used to the F-8's quirks you can outplay anything at any BR. DEFYN has some good videos of the F-8E and F8U-2 on his channel, and so does Spit Flyer. It's a skill check plane, and you need to be used to it's individual quirks. I'm not generally a good player, but once I got used to not breaking the wings on the F-8, it's carried me to usually leading my team. I'm still sometimes rip, but it' an easy plane to score 2 or 3 kills before that happens.

Tracer bullets I think

you're having a good time in war thunder, enjoy it while it lasts

you aren't getting 2-3 kills per match, not if you're playing any substantial number of games. the best players in the world have Kills per Battle ratios of 2ish, maybe a bit more, and sorry, but I doubt you're one of the best players in the world. I'm kinda tired of people overestimating how many kills they get in per match. now 2-3 kills per *death*, that's plenty believable, certainly achievable for people who aren't top tier players but fly well enough.

@@thefolder69 want my name? My entire match last night were 2-3 kills. One of them is a 5 kill in a 6v6

@@alphaplayzz1381 +1 A much needed change after trying and failing to make the A7M work. I have zero clue how to reverse a tailchaser lol

@@thefolder69 dude, shut up. I'm averaging 2/3 kills a match in the fucking a6m6c. you can even check my player card if you want. "FriendlySnowOrb" with 17 matches and 36 air kills

Can confirm MB 157 is stronk in arcade and realistic. I like a 300 yard convergence and short taps.

Sure, you choose payment method at the last step.

As for me, I think it kinda depends on which US fighter it is. I played the F6F a lot, and I usually sideclimbed at around 260 IAS with WEP. In my opinion, it climbs better than what you would think with the stat card. About the P-47, I expect it to be around the same IAS or higher but you would need to sideclimb longer because it's still heavier than the F6F. I have no idea on the P-51s tho. The F4U is very similar to the F6F

for p-51 290 IAS is most effective and for most planes 280-290 is most effective. But i usually do 300 to have a bit more energy

@@amazingstealth8235 260 seems a little bit too slow but I trust you. tomorrow I'll try. Meanwhile thanks for the answer.

@@zhrprkp6732 ok, tomorrow I'll try. Thank you.

@@mondinik2378 Perhaps I was climbing at an angle higher than most other players. But with WEP it's not that bad. Besides, the more you take to arrive to the battle (sideclimbing slower) the more chance there is you'll be above the enemy team (something very desireable in American fighters)

I did like just over a month ago

He just bailed out lol

@@DEFYN ah ok thanks for clarifying

Turn-fight, but try to avoid going too vertical. If things go SUPER south, you can use your excellent dive performance to run away.

The are literally the same plane

@@sillylittleowlguy2392 i thought they was few differences somehow ;) thx

@@ivanbarbancon8750 The French one has 21 minutes of fuel minimum versus 31 minutes on the American.

@@ivanbarbancon8750 This one gets bombs, French one handles better since it has less fuel .

Fly straight ask teammate to kill enemy, do you really need help for that?

@@nickpickle7665 some people seem to, If you have time specifically to fly in a straight line you aren't in trouble but I get your point. It may be more of a point line in the video not a full one. I'm more talking about the people who ask for help then while you are coming in to help seem to turn in the worst possible way (like directly under) so you cant get guns on the guy

@@eagleeye7166 watch DEFYNs positioning guide he has a 50 minute long video in this lmao
