The '$1000' Fighter Jet at BR 5.7 (War Thunder P-59A) 

The fact that it costs so much is hilarious to.😅

It was originally 5.3 when I bought it for $30 back in 2019 lmao

american planes are generally undertiered

Theres also a rank 3 british jet as well

@WeBeStronk where does it say the p59a is worth 1k?? I bought it a while ago for like $150

Honorable sir.

Balanced, as all things should be.

How do u expect to outturn top prop planes in a jet that isnt good and has bad turn time clown

Bro i was so suprrised when i first fought the thing. Me being the guy with over 2000 hours my buddy who was new was like what do i do? Im like well ive never seen the thing but its a jet so try to out turn it. He was like well it out turned me and killed me. I was like what if i try to outspeed it. And i pretty much did. Its a very confusing vehicle because it doesnt fit the fast but can't turn style of the early jets.

​@@DevinEMILEtheres one thing you can always do with any jet which always works, get it slow and it's easy, you just have to pray he gets slow or falls for bait

@@anrw886well norm ya, with this thing no, the slower you are the better it turns😂 its wayyyy op but its also a glass cannon and have been shreded by one tap from 7.62 mm

@@Rono99 just try get it into a rate fight I would, if it turned into a turn fight it'd be time to run away and try again

Ki-10 VTOL was a mood to be honest

Only the best for Russia I'm sure

@@casematecardinal cope

It's an interesting plane so would be cool! Wonder if they won't though due to having too many jets at low tier.

@@WeBeStronk the p59 is balanced alright in my opinion. It was one of the first and the first fighter jet so it some obvious weakness

Thanks for the tip!

Would have been a good interceptor or attack air craft

It also did not turn irl like in the game, gaijin had to make it sell somehow

I watched a mini documentary about the Mig 23 and how it wasn't nearly as good as the soviets hoped it would. The F4 phantom was still better than them in performance I think. Of course, in Gaijin's War Thunder, the Mig 23 absolutely dominated until the F14 was added

The Yaks are mostly as good as they are because they’re lower BR than most of their contemporaries. For example, the Yak-1 has the M-105PF engine, which was introduced into service in the middle of 1942, so that variant of the Yak would be about contemporary with the Bf 109F-4; I think the PF engine entered service a little bit later, even. However, it’s at 2.3 along with the Bf 109E-3, which saw most of its action in 1940.

German pilots were told not to engage yaks in combat. So it checks out.

They are low alt beasts

@@terminallydrunk1900 not in war thunder, they're every altitude beasts, but yeah in real life if german pilots engaged them about 6000 feet the 190's and 109's both had the advantage.

Da comrade )))

Brother?

Right? MvP for sure!!!

It's really underrated I think!

metrics just better though

@@GGuLost1 no

@@GGuLost1as an American metric is way better and easier to remember

​@@kboskiYou aren't American.

@@alexanderrahl482 what do you mean

I need to know this Mach 1 trick 🤣

@@WeBeStronk In certain diving angles you can genuinely go (close to) nose down then back up and hit mach 1 then pull out. Issue is, if you do literally any maneuvour other than a straight pull up and if you stay too long in the dive or twitch even slightly in the dive you'll wingrip or the game engine won't break in the right way and you'll lose your speed oddly. It's something to do with either Axis Angles or Euler Angles. You'll probably be able to pull it off best in a custom server tbh, it's a pain in the ass to do now in live battles because of enemies swarming you or something stupid. Though the admission is it's two mathematical errors at once. You don't *go true mach 1*, the game engine just thinks you do. You only go like 750-880km/h now. It used to be true mach 1 (1185+km/h) at a less harsh angle (though pulling out of this was near impossible and yet still scared the shit out of Yak-9 pilots lmao). It was a little known issue caused by giving the P-59A too much or too little stats in certain categories related to the engine, wings, control surfaces and pilot.

​@@faei1897does it make a sonic boom

@@weltall7283 Used to back on release. Doesn't anymore.

Fighting Tigers with it is hilarious, i've seen a few of them get angry after being killed by them even though the only redeeming factor is the ATGM which is really good. Makes a really fun lineup with the Strikemaster, G6, Charioteer, FV4005 and Tortoise too

Now that the MILAN missile launcher has a separate view scope, just barely exposing the launcher from behind cover is so much nicer to do and much cheesier, but hey! It was a struggle bus to begin with!

It's very fun!!

POV: You're a '90s lad

I'll take a look!

Not a bad shout! But I'll have to play some other nations first, I try not to have too much of one nation in recent videos 😂

To be fair it doesn't compress *too* bad 😂

Thanks dude!

I do think I remember it being a proper UFO

Yeah machine guns on my 1 key, cannons on my 2 key!

Honestly 😂 the confusion is the best part!

just a happy boi

Forgive me as my memory is a tad hazy but I believe tracer on the 50's and Air targets for the 37mm.

37mm

hes british they use imperial AND metric beacuse they made both

The lesser-spotted P-59A is a rare sight!

I can only imagine the chaos this thing brought to RB at 5.3

@@WeBeStronk i found away with max crew to outturn any zero or spitfire , i dont know if they update the fightmodel inbetween but it is just funny :)

@tylerbanns9515 😂😂

I vaguely remember, which is even more crazy!!

I play it comfortably against 7.7 jets in ground matches. It can't keep up, but if they are dumb enough to scrub speed or attempt a turn, it's often over quickly.

Its 5.3 again lmao

@@smokyz_ since when?

@@Schnipah They had recent BR update.

Just force it to run out of energy than it's DONE

I think I did as well!

The 262 is not 5.7 :)

I do 😂

There was a P-59B Past to devs years ago. And someone found a different model in the game files for it at one point in the last two years. So maybe. But you never know. Technically Britain had 1 as well. They got it in exchange for a Meteor.

@@DevinEMILE it would be a great low tier add that would be super fun to fly out

Its at the same rank of some props, so I get your confusion, but its BR is 6.7, The ME262 would be OP at lower than 7.0 because its quite descent of a plane if you know how to fly it, though with the 50 mm its not as practical so it got 0.3 lower. The HE162 is 6.0 which in my book is close enough.

@@skyekid1 I am running at 4.7 at the moment and I swear I was running into Me262s the other night and they were murdering damn near everything in the sky.

@@johnhermann7498 i believe the 50mm 262 is 5.7 in arcade

@@gunner324 it is... I had to look it up. I haven't started playing Air RB yet but it is nice to know I won't get slaughtered by jets at my BR and will *only* be getting slaughtered by prop-jobs... LOL

@@johnhermann7498 Lol wait until you get into the 7.0 matchmaker. The Early jets and Props are a mess. Its like ohhh a jet i cant catch. Ohhh a Mk24 SpitFire diving on me that i also probably cant outrun and defintely cant out turn. Air after like 6.0-7.0 becomes hell in an uptier. Just massive technology jumps. Around 9.0 you can be a flareless jet fighting all aspects.

You're the second person to say this 😂

Isn't a dedicated Jet aircraft though, Turbo props are a whole different thing entirely!

Crazy? I was crazy once...

It doesn’t, I bought it for $150 Canadian a while ago

You just admitted to spending $150 on pixels

@@anon3988 and your point is?

@@anon3988 may seem like a lot of money to you but I enjoy the game and its rare vehicles, I get 170 a day tax free at my current job on top of my hourly rate. Buying a vehicle I think is cool every now and then is no big deal. To each their own though, if you’re making minimum wage or something it would certainly be a bad decision financially but I have excess to spare on top of putting into savings each week.

@@anon3988 I get $170 per day tax free on top of my hourly rate + overtime, leaves me with a decent amount of disposable income. Buying a few things in a game every now and then is no big deal. This trend of trying to shame people for spending money on in game items is sad lmao, just cause you can’t afford it doesn’t mean others can’t.

Not the me 163 lol

It was an award for the Operation H.E.A.T 2019 event and the only place to get it now I believe is the marketplace.

It's still 5.7 in RB thankfully.

I think you *can* get it on console, but only if you had it previously... I'm not sure if you guys can purchase marketplace items.

@@WeBeStronk I've never had a PC. I've only played it on Xbox

hes clickbaiting

This can only go down to 4.7 so not sure on that one.

To be fair the average price of it is about $200 - 300, but there's a few over $1000 which makes a decent title!
