What Propeller Planes Can Go Mach 1 in WarThunder? 

Fun fact, a spitfire came very close to hitting Mach irl, I don’t know the story behind it

Been a while since I’ve played war thunder, have about 3000 hours on it. Funny story, One time in a realistic battle, I flew out my B-29 bombed all three bases and instead of diving back to base to refuel, I went AFK to go make some instant ramen. 6 minutes after I cleaned up a little of the spilled ramen I set my B29 at a slight pitch and was like 40,000ft in the air, with a J7w1 trying to chase me down. Kind of felt bad and wanted the game to end too because I was the last guy & suprislny enough they bombed out our bases too, but anyway kind of getting mixed here. So I turned off my engines and just dove my plane at an angle for him to come kill me, WELL some how some way my B-29 broke Mach 1 without braking apart, leveled out my plane and my auto gunners killed him before he could kill me. Still one of my favorite memories playing this game.

After a certain airspeed, the propeller will start braking the airplane even at max power, which is part of the reason that propeller planes cannot enter the transsonic regime. It might be helpful to turn the engine off and lock the propeller (if that is still possible, i know it used to be). I know that this is where Gaijin's already hackjob'ed physics stop working at all, but perhaps locking the prop will allow the planes to go even faster after the wings rip.

it's interesting that the A6M2-N's terminal velocity is actually lower than the speed at which structural failure would occur, at least according to the flight dynamic model that war thunder is using anyway.

I tried in a realistic custom battle and ju 87 first version with siren can go mach 1 at that altitude

is that island in the sky the D point?

I've hit mach 0.92 in a realistic battle while running from a spitfire in the do-335b2 without dying

Free bird starts playing:

Fun fact: if you turn off the engine gravity should push ypu to Mach as the engine propellor creates drag at high speeds

the background music go crazy at italy lol

Hey I'm pretty sure the fw-190 a (the first one) can reach close to mach 1 diving from 2000 meters

3:06 your ears might die here

All the planes: ATTACK THE D POINT

Last version of Spitfire can go Mach and stuka (first) can go Mach too

Attack the D point!

ricey ricey ricey ricey cake

not kidding the f7f should do it with ease

bro can dive bombing nuke

pls try spitfire(griffon engine variants)

2 prop b-29 > p-51h. change my mind.

how do you get a map like that can you tell me?

how do i play this level

i see the d point!!

When you started italy the songs overlapped

Spitfire can, I know as I have done it

Real question is. What can hit mach 2 prop or not

EL PUNTO D, ES REAL, TOMENME UNA FOTO CON EL

how does the a6m2-n manage to slow down going like 90 degrees downward

spitfire can

Fun fact the p38 can go Mach 1 irl

XP-55

D POINT

I once went mach 1 in a biplane inside a match also isnt mach 1 750?

whats the map?

The fact that he’s using japanese planes this is just kamikaze 2.0

3:14 music duplicates

How do you do that

No Shinden?!

Why are you using bombers

When the music track overlapped ("Monkeys Spinning Monkeys" I believe it's called), my brain was turning to soup.

Supprisingly it didnt crash *bails out*

B-29 isn't aerodynamic it's FREEDOM DYNAMIC 🦅🦅🦅🦅

America fu

Attack the D point!
