War Thunder Ki83 | Salty Bombers 

Top 10 questions science still can't answer.

LOL

What if he didn’t j out

What if he went and just at camped

-80k now kek

Lmao haven't done the calcs on that, but in a close game you are probably better off tilting the match to your side lol. Or perhaps they saw me and thought "in Adam514 we trust".

Maybe here and there it nets more, but going for the win is still better in the long run. Or rather "let adam to the work I am too lazy"

They were in 262 those planes can't climb well(at least they wouldn't have out climbed Adam) So they IMO thought ,,meh what's the point of going for a bomber at 7k when there is a high alt interceptor after it,, so they went for ground for RP

@@AdamTheEnginerd hhahahaha

I understand that I'm on high alt duty for sure, but the rest of the bombers were low and they should have taken care of them instead of ground pounding.

Omae wa mo shinderiu.

*gunners open up * Adam: HINJAKU HINJAKU!!!

All you hear on the telegraphs are “BEEP BEEEP BEEEEP BEEP BEEEEEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!!”

Gaijin: "For what?" Him: "He said "average" after I said "fuck you"". G: *incoming ban* MDR.

Reported for kicking his ass :)

Reported for virtually spanking spoiled brats :P

Um Gaijin? да I want to report this other player guy. Зачем He was like kicking our asses and stuff and we feel bad about that. слушай сука

Trukibouge this is normally me, but not to the enemy because there was a solid 8 games where I just got shot by my team before I had even engaged enemy. My salt is stopped though

Yeah it's like we're playing a different game...

I couldn't have put it better myself.

Haha thanks!

I really was ambivalent to whether he Jout or not. Didn't really care about the ammo part though, I have good aim.

I know, you finished with ammo to take two bomber more lol But i can imagine the kid thinking "hehehe, he isn't going to get the kill... WAIT!, HE DOESN'T CARE?!, WHAT KIND OF AN ALIEN HE IS" PS: love your videos :D

Haha thanks mate!

Ye a Japanese exception.

Haha pretty sure, it's a typo.

Yeah that was pretty funny haha.

@@AdamTheEnginerd he was the real coward for just staying in space with a giant fortress

Nah back then AA was a bit better than now because of the pilot damage mechanic.

Hahaha top 10 questions science still can't answer.

@@AdamTheEnginerd lmao

They are in the game for marketing reasons. Can't have a combat flight game without bombers.

@@AdamTheEnginerd exactly, novelty not practicality. Great upload I'm new to your channel and I am interested in your manual controls. Do you think they significantly help you in game? Also I noticed you use kilometers for your true airspeed instead of knots?

Welcome! Yeah MEC helps a decent amount once you're decent at the game. It can increase our speed and climb by a fair amount when used right. Metric system ftw!

Well, marketing or not, B-24D on 6.0 is a joke. In no way it matches the capability of fighters it meets.

Yeah, I hope they get EC back but permanently (as a new permanent game mode). It has none of the issues of classic Air RB (like bombers being useless).

Why are they needed?

*NAME THE BULLY*

lol

ha. we all know Adam514 is a purple haired, "problem"-glasses wearing gamer grrl/bullyhunter keeping the skies clear of toxic masculinity

I think the decrease in Allied bombers is due to the fact that Allied bombers can't unload their bombs anymore, and so only the good fighter pilots continue to fly Allies, propping up the Allied war effort.

Survival of the fittest at its finest, lol

It's unfortunate when 1 50 cal has a decent chance of lighting you on fire, and lots of 50s are shot at you at once.

The X-ray in the hangar says this aircraft does have self-sealing fuel tanks.

late war Japanese planes had self sealing fuel tanks, you would be surprised on the amount of self sealing fuel tanks on planes that they have.

they're for sealing leaks not putting out fires.

@@anthonyelmore146 but theu do help sometimes for not catching fire if they don't leak then most of the tome less chance of fire.

Always interesting to come across people like that ;).

Hahaha lowkey insult. Yeah he was saying some contradictory stuff. Ki83 is fun for a heavy fighter, due to climb mostly. Radiator does affect climb for sure. But, for example if it affects top speed by 10%, it affects climb by around 2%. You are better off WEPing with 100% rads than 100% throttle with 0% rads.

@@AdamTheEnginerd Thx for the info man, will we ever hear your voice again ? 😂

2 videos weren't enough?? Perhaps for my 5k special...

@@AdamTheEnginerd :(

The B-29 is me ._.

Keep calm and subscribe for more ;).

What do you mean??? Bomber pilots don't have it easy anyone can say chill out and be calm when your flying and interceptor with heavy armanwnt going against a bomber. You guys make it seem he's a criminal

@@omarb10legends99 if you fly useless planes that have a high repair cost, you have no one but yourself to blame.

@@thelonious2213 useless and vulnerable planes

Hahaha thanks! That's how I respond to haters ;).

They can't load stealth belts, so that's even more scary ;).

Hahaha thanks!

Meh, all I'm saying is that bombers are less useful than fighters, not that they are necessarily not fun!

@@AdamTheEnginerd I can agree.

@@AdamTheEnginerd yeah I've only seen bombers carry a game once or twice. 3 BV 238s demolished my AF. However, bombers are good for speeding up ticket bleed if your team is outnumbered. THAT has gotten me a lot of wins, and if fighters are dumb and sit on your tail, it's also good target practice

@@AdamTheEnginerd One bomber I like to use is the LeO 451 Early, fun plane to play but I'd say bombers get's really irritating at higher tiers. Besides heh, I've been salty before but I still don't get on the B-29 bomber: Do they not expect to get shot out by an interceptor? Strange. I never complained as a bomber pilot more so as a fighter pilot at times. If I'm being honest if you are the last one alive best bet is to try and team up with your remaining teammates, that's how me and a friend tried to salvage a game though we failed we were still alive thanks to teamwork. So, he didn't do any of that I guess.

Yup lol, quite confusing.

What is their point though? If any aircraft is bad, don't fly it. If you do fly it, don't complain to other players.

"The spread is worse than a Stock mig 17", "Barely doesn any damage"... Yeah... I've been diving on B-29s With the Ar-234 C3, ends up being pilot sniped from more than 3km...

@@AdamTheEnginerd ye thats exaclty my last sentence, but you still need it for the tasks, fly it in arcade where its easy to kill others/bomb freely or Sim which is about the same.

most bomber pilots are doing it wrong too. Going straight for the target invites unprotected interception. Gotta let the fighters mix it up first. They're all rodeo clowns anyway

@@___axg96___63 I do this in my Halifax since it has a great climb rate and most of the fighters are usually at low alt and its an easy 3 bases

Not anymore haha, he was removed.

@@AdamTheEnginerd Ahh man really? Dam that's upsetting.

My pleasure mate!

Yeah haha honestly it's pretty funny.

Haha not yet!

Now go to a RU server and talk shit about Russia then you'll be chat banned for a few days lol

Thanks mate! You chose the best video to come aboard ;).

Thanks mate!

It's fun for a heavy fighter indeed.

Nah it's just the trigger the shake the salt dispenser ;).

Thanks mate, means a lot!

Lmao I think so too.

@@AdamTheEnginerd Make a T-shirt with burning B-29 and written "Junk people" :D :D It would be awesome :D

Hmm I think the af AA in this video is roughly the same level as it is now.

I have in the past.

Thanks man! I will!

Thanks, I will!

B29 is one of the best bombers since it has one of the highest kill ratio, I think it's accurate in that regard.

WG? Don't they run World of Tanks? You mean Gaijin?

Even with computer asissted aiming, there still runs the risk of missing

I think for the b29 they should give it a lead indicator for the computer, especially since gaijin enterpainment decided it would be at 7.0

Yup, it's not like they are forced to fly it.

Possibly a typo, g and t are close together

Thanks man! I will!

That must be why the Arado was spammed lol.

Some would say any time is the best time ;).

They certainly wouldn't need an airspawn lmao.

Ta 152 H-1 only has the advantage of an air-spawn. I prefer using a spaded Bf 109 K-4 to climb and destroy bombers

M.C. Schock With gunpods?

@@Leon_der_Luftige probably using 30mm

Hahaha where else would I get my haters??

Yup, there are solutions but they won't be implemented.

Lol never flown the Tu4, I don't have it yet.

Yeah but if a sabre's .50cals get anywhere within a 2 mile radius of you you go up like a paper ball

it goes to shit if anything aim for the wings but center of mass is pretty much immune to anything that isnt a 30mm

Yeah, just keep them off your wings and you're good lol

The vast majority aren't like this.

Never had much success with that technique.

I think it looks good for a heavy fighter.

@@AdamTheEnginerd have you tried the j5n1? It can out dogfight most stuff, but struggles with things that lose speed quicker like p47s and f8fs, it can either high speed reverse or low speed stall fight

Precious because of the high SL repair probably haha. They fly bombers because they are low on SL, but end up paying loads on repair cost. Vicious cycle.

I am good with fighters and have enough lions but also like flying bombers just because I like them (before the canon buff at least). but otherwise I can understand that saltyness because u have no chances with bombers these days (besides Russian bias tu4 lol)

Air Raid The fact that you have no chances with bombers is no excuse for being a douchebag though. And that is if they had no chances. They actually do, especially planes like the Tu-4 and of course the B-29, their chances may not be high, but they can hurt you if you don't do things right, and even if you do there's that slim chance that you can get set on fire or some shit, as is proven at the end of Adam's video when he was approaching that bomber from 10 o'clock and above which is an excellent angle with very little chances to get hit, yet he still suffered heavy damage.

Deus Vult The sad thing is that bomber got more income as gunships instead of bombing since bombing income is absymally low. When I pick Tu4, playing battleships against enemy bombers is awesome.

@@vietnamabc2290 can you still play gunship eith bombers these days? I spammed bombers in arcade (climb to space and reload in the air =" fun") and none of my bombers topk more than 2 hits of anything bigger than 13mm. A B17 battleship fight ended in 10s when we both went down in flames. Bombers are at an all time low right now. I actually would like to see at least a survivability buff to those poor things. They will cost a lot but I want my battleship fights back! And if buffing is too much for the game balance then they could just lower the altitude ceiling for bombers. Having sucess in a bomber would be still impossible then.

I have a video on it already. Perhaps it will be revisited in the future, preferably after the FM or BR changes.

Adam514 Oh yeah, forgot. Could you do the Yak 23 then?

Haha I agree!

@@AdamTheEnginerd (petition to see more salt chat uploads ahem*)

Had a couple of people who were salty in the comment section of my latest video haha, you should check that out.

@@AdamTheEnginerd oh boy! I sure am!

Stay tuned for more!

Haha no stop the torture!!

Sea Jesus?

Adam514 I remember when it was the sea Jesus :) our saviour from the 163 clubbing

Hah yes. I used to say that two years ago before i got perma banned from chat. Now i returned but idk how to get unbanned from chat even after ive been gone over a year.

Perma banned? Jesus.

Yes please fly it

But who's fault is it that he chose to fly a B29?

Yup, don't know either.

Oh damn you're missing out on some of what WT offers! It's part of Manual Engine Controls (MEC). By default the game handles MEC, but you can take control of the engine yourself for a bit of extra performance if you know what you're doing. A supercharger spins to compress the air before feeding it to the engine in order to burn more fuel to produce more power. As the altitude increases, pressure (air density) reduces and the supercharger doesn't spin fast enough to fully compress the air, so on most aircraft you can switch supercharger gears to increase the supercharger speed to compress the air more at a higher altitude. The game handles this by default if you don't enable MEC.

@@AdamTheEnginerd I never knew this existed in my 2 years of playing war thunder... Does the FW-190/A-4 have this? I would like to try this out.

@@AdamTheEnginerd Oh by the way, since I'm a German Tech Tree Player and I'm on the FW 190 A4 which is the highest fighter I have right now, which fighters will I see with Superchargers?

There's a bunch of other MEC settings other than supercharger gears, you need to learn all of them to be able to use MEC effectively. You can see me mess with prop pitch and radiators in this match. German aircraft automatically handle the supercharger system even when on MEC, so you wouldn't be able to manually switch gears on them. They still do have superchargers though. If you're asking which aircraft you'll face that have superchargers, answer is all of them except P47s, P38s, and F82 (they have turbochargers). There are tutorials on RU-vid that explain how to set up MEC. But, it's a distraction unless you are already a good player.

@@AdamTheEnginerd Ok, thank you so much, ill have to check this out.

Yup, confusion.

Not my kind of plane, but yeah I can see why people like it.

Haha the shots were invisible!

2 B29s + 2 Lancs can end the game too I think. They got very close here with 2 B29s, 1 Linc and 1 B24. But yeah if they can't end the match by bombing the af, they are useless.

*Ahem* Pe-8

I find that piss poor coordination happens to be the elephant in the room

That's more like it!

Yeah I'll do a video on MEC eventually.

Probably not a kid though.

@@AdamTheEnginerd You are probably right, sadly.

I put the blame on them for flying useless aircraft. I blame Gaijin for making bombing useless. I can blame more than 1 person when there's more than 1 issue ;).

Meh, chat is often amusing.

K/D doesn't correlate with behavior. You could have the super casual guy who gets 0.1 kills a match and still laughs it up and has fun, talks nice with his team. Or you could have the dude who gets a double ace every game but does nothing but flame their teammates for 'sucking'. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yup, might be the best climbing prop.

Yeah I don't understand players like that...

Thanks! I don't use them so i don't know.

As long as the fuel tanks aren't hit it's fine, but fires happen often.

Yeah.

Thanks!

@@AdamTheEnginerd how is that posible that i kill fighters eith bomber when they attacm from high and side thats juat hardest spot to shoot

I agree!

Probably.

Yeah easily over 300km/h. Thanks mate!

Lol I agree!

Lmao accurate!

Yup, people work in mysterious ways.

Good!

Waiting for free repair ;).

An apt comparison!

Can it outclimb 109s and spitfires?

Yeah by a decent amount.

Lmao I doubt he did ;).

Mystery.

Lol I just ignore them until they are the last ones left, not worth my time.

I'll add it to my list! Thanks man!

Thanks mate! I recommend UK, since the beginner's instinct is to turn and it isn't catastrophic if you're in a UK aircraft.

Lol, my first nation is soviet

Soviet is pretty good too.

Adam514 I am playing this fantastic game for last two and a half months, curenttly pilot level 14 and mostly with japanese Zero fighters...

I recommend progressing relatively evenly through all the trees, you know the weaknesses of aircraft by flying them.

Lmao I suppose.

Yes haha.

Same.

These days hans can "hit" the plane just by looking at it as long as it's under 3.5km above him, of course he hits the cooling and engines so you're usually out of the fight because of him.

@@Tacticaviator7 Exactly, somehow always hits the vital components of the plane, i mean hitting my wing would make me mad but setting me on fire or outright killing the rad is just insane

Think this turns better.

I mostly shoot from close range anyway, it wouldn't be that useful for me to bind those keys.

The rest of the twin engined fighters right?

Yeah. I wouldn't fly the rest of the Japanese twin fighters in a dogfight. I do own a Ki-96 (premium) too, but even that one doesn't work for me.

Had success with the Ki45 (very low tier), but that's probably due to enemies not really knowing how to fly.

First off, if you don't use Manual Engine Controls (MEC), it handles everything for you. Manually changing the supercharger gears instead doesn't yield any performance advantages. Superchargers are used to compress the air, allowing more fuel to be burnt to produce more power. But, compressing the air requires power, so it's a tradeoff. As you climb, eventually it becomes worth it to switch supercharger gears which means compressing even more air to burn fuel to compensate for the loss of atmospheric pressure as you climb.
