3 Ju-288 C's, 1 Bf-109 G2 uptiered to 5.3, and me, an N1K1A "Shiden". Can't remember if we lost or won, but I can tell you that they did a pretty good job at clearing up the bases, whilst us we were having to deal with F2G's and F4U's that were easy to deal with.
This is my ju288 guide: flying below the ju near 1km under it with my f8f. After reaching 630 km/h and 900m distance between us going up from side to shoot the centre of the wings. The ju288 will fold like paper plane. Thank you ju288.
Ending match. Less tickets so losing. 3 of those Ju288 left. One ally attacker and me. They went for ground forces. I aim for them as i have altitude, speed and 20mm to welcome them (F4U-7). Set first on fire, kill. Second ans third try dogfight and head-on's. Second one kill by pilots. Third tries to run away, get crippled from 1.5km, lose speed, finish it under 4minute time left. Last one was raging and calling allied bias and overpowered
Ju-288 guide: get in front of them, merge and spray at the cockpit, whatever you do don't turn around and try to chase it after the merge. Oh, you meant playing it? ...you needed help!?
JU 288 in real life: Engines literaly discintegrated in mid flight because germany was unable to make an actualy good high horsepower engine. JU 288 in war thunder: "oH nO mY eNgInE iS sLiGhTlY oVeRhEaTiNg."
@@thehorsecockexpress1068 the engine on the JU 288 is the exact same engine as the one in the HE 177. It is basicly just two piston engines screwed together, and since this was done so terribly they made each other overheat and they would usualy set themselves on fire after 4 hours of flight. While allied bombers adopted honoring nicknames by its pilots like "flying fortress" the HE 177 was commonly nicknamed "Reichsfakel" (The empiee torch) or "Brennender Sarg" (Burning coffin). And all of that to make an engine which ended having the same ammount of horsepower as the engines on a P-47D-28 or B-29. Its all on wikipedia (or anywhere else) to read about. The only place where the HE 177 any JU 288 are not known as total failiours is war thunder. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinkel_He_177_Greif
"The Foreign Ministry of the Polish Government in Exile issued a document on May 3, 1941, describing the mass kidnapping raids conducted in Polish cities with the aim of capturing young women for sexual slavery at brothels run by the German military. On top of that, Polish girls as young as 15 - classified as suitable for slave labor and shipped to Germany - were sexually exploited by German men. In Brandenburg, two Polish Ostarbeiter teens who returned home to Kraków in advanced stage of pregnancy, reported to have been raped by German soldiers with such frequency that they were unable to perform any of the worker's designated labour." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_military_brothels_in_World_War_II
Personally, I much like the 288 but I better enjoy the Be-6. While the Be is a naval aircraft, it also gets two rear facing turrets with 2x 23mm cannons which in the usual Soviet fashion are fucking amazing at shredding aircraft. You have no idea how many players I've shot down because they either don't remember or just don't realize how bad it is to sit on the tail of this thing. It's downsides of course is that it's nowhere near as fast as the 288, though it's long range bomber spawns kind of make up for it.
ive played around 300 games in this thing n gotten over 150 kills just because if u buy this plane u wont have to ever worry about SL it is 100% a dogfighter if u can play it like the twin engine gunship it is edit: to dogfight ur gonna need maxed gunner g overload
Ju-288 has some massive blind spot under the belly. If somehow you managed to catch up with him, and get under his belly, he is just another smoking hot sausage! The only problem is to catch him🤡
Say, does anybody know the name of the background music that plays in the first half of the video? Edit: So I've found the name of the song, but just to be extra, does anybody know the specific version? Thanks!
"stupid fucking idiot lightly armoured fighter pilot will attempt to sit on your tail" to be fair its near impossible to catch this plane at any other angle, shit i find it hard to catch this plane when its on the deck doing 400 and my plane rips at 416.
Wish I could figure out how to lead with these turrets or what belts to use today... I be spraying guys half a km behind me and still die with no kill or critical. Meanwhile I fight against one and get peppered over 2k away while moving to the point I have to disengage, or I put 760 20mm rounds in one as they escape with a light black smoke trail... Would love for brits or US to have something like this or at least a premium attacker. To grind trees that actually matter. Ju288 only good for SL as German jets are oogly and boring
I still love my Do217e2 but damn I would love to have the 288 because you know, you dont have to use bombs to kill planes because your gunners are shit.
Wow they really nerfed this thing. Still not ba but nowhere near as good. Everything can catch it, fire guarantee kill it, and if you loose a engine and have a damaged wing your going down.
