In this game its just WT's glitchy broken sound engine, but in general I do have own engine sound to the minimum allowed setting and everything else relatively high, so the sound balance will be quite off. (I then have the overall game volume itself then turned down to like 10%)

Thanks! People enjoy them so I will continue with them!

I figure out something that works for me and then use the test flight feature to work it in a bit. Muscle memory is a powerful thing. I kept ripping my gear when the separate flare/chaff buttons came out and I moved gear up to somewhere else and put flares on the previous "G" key. So when I was taking off I would commonly flare and the gear would up and leave. Its a matter of preference how you set things up.

Eh, sometimes just have to take the risk to get something done, especially on a plane where laser GBUs are the primary weapon. JH7A flight model is nice for this kind of work though so its not too bad unless the other side has infinite FOX-3 spammers flying.

Nothing is sped up (unless your CZcams local settings have it sped up). All I did edit (cut) the uninteresting parts of the match where nothing happens. The original recording is 17 minutes long.

It's a CZcams bug that sometimes happens, reload the page

@@hans2936 gotcha, all fixed now thanks

Nothing makes me rage harder than trying to play top tier😂

I do the same stuff on 6.3)) Au 1 and a h 1 go hard, great job in video

Thanks <3

I think the dual captions are a very cool and unique take on how to use subtitles. If it’s not too much work then I’d love to see these in the future too.

@@Mango-vd1nn They will likely stay, and over time I will optimise the work so it hopefully takes less time.

Toptier Sweden is strong (and the CV90 spam brings some unique vehicles to the lineup too). Its absolutely worth it, but your CAS isn't anywhere near as good as other nations (F-16s and SU-25s anyone?). The lineups from 9.3 onwards do bring interesting vehicles with different capabilities and the Strv 122s are reliable in survivability and firepower.

Thanks! I'm trying out using the CCs both as an excuse to review my own games for mistakes and to allow others to learn from them too, but also because I feel that going into detail using voice commentary drags a video out way longer than it actually needs to be, thus losing the entertainment value. Doing it this way I feel the viewer gets the freedom of choice.

@@Strangers1234 Yep, sounds about right. You also get to not bother with mic quality and processing the audio lol. Can relate to that since I did use the CCs as a form of post-edit commentary before (couldn't be bothered to re-edit and re-render), but now that I know this split US/UK CCs exist, might actually use it in the future like this lol. Pretty rad idea for when I'm lazy.

@@codysdepository3725 It takes a while to do this though. Pure voice commentary is going to be easier to do once you have everything set up and standardised compared to writing two different subtitles out in full. I think this video took shy of 3 hours to have everything edited, QA'd and then published.

I have turned my engine sound to the minimum (27) and enemy engine sounds to max The engine that runs WT has a limit to the number sounds it can play at the same time (amongst other things) so when things get hectic, sometimes things just don't make sound.

Can't blame the team too much, the map is way too easy to spawncamp though.

I really do wish Gaijin would look at the angles that entire lock down spawns. Poland C cap hill is a great example of terrible map design (or lack of map design at all in terms of LoS design)

Our tail code was “Whiskey Echo” instead of “Charlie Foxtrot”

@@philipbattiest6252 the AV-8/Harrier is such an iconic plane. So cool to have worked with the actual plane that is modelled in the game too!

One part of me wanted to hover behind the heli to see how long it would take to get noticed, but I overshot and got noticed real fast.

In all fairness the map is terribly balanced with the opposing side being able to shoot our spawn from their spawn while being hulldown. As for the pink UI, I don't actually remember where that came from at this point. I think I was messing with it on stream and I liked the colour because its terrible :D

Game’s designed for america to lose

Good question: I actually haven't unlocked them on the Harrier yet, and I feel like they still fail to kill (in different ways) to the normal HEAT warhead ones. The HE/SAP explosions can get eaten by random volumetric/ERA spaghetti code just like the HEAT Mavericks can fail to pen or not spall enough. I tried the SAP variants on other planes that have them and I feel they're still a 1 to 1 sidegrade to the HEAT warhead, especially since this major patch heavily buffed the HEAT pen (and I feel like they nerfed explosive power from splash too). If I could aim the SAP/HE warhead like a laser missile I'd take them every time since I can land them on weakspots, but right now they have the same dorky module tracking as normal Mavericks and Spikes and I have no control. Maybe I'll give them a go again, but as of now I feel its a sidegrade where you either roll a binary kill/no kill with SAP/HE (but if it does damage, it kills) or have maybe a slightly lower chance to kill some targets, but have usually at least do some internal damage with the HEAT ones.

@@Strangers1234 interesting because I tested them in protection analysis and agm65d did worse

@@ichosolemanuel6048 Theres a lot of things to keep in mind about the protection analysis (its pretty good nowadays though if you can get impact angles right) Explosions (and their fragments) emanate from a specific point, not from the wall of the munition (thanks Gaijin). This means that the entire explosion can be eaten by ERA or a volumetric ???? (thanks Gaijin). I've seen both D and G mavericks (and if you've used paveways in autolead, entire paveways) get eaten by ???? even on direct hits. Thats why if you use a laser designated bomb (or HE missile like AS-30L, KH-25/29/38L) ALWAYS aim to land it NEXT TO the target. You can splash lower side armour (20mm on Combloc, 30-35 typically on NATO) or the belly. The tracking does apply to both types of mavericks. If it goes for a commanders cupola then the G maverick is more likely to overpressure. If it goes for the front hull then the D maverick is more likely to pen (and the spall buff means even through a spall liner the cone is massive). If it hits a T-series ERA on the front the D maverick likely won't pen. If you hit Relikt bag ERA on the side (or Merkavas, they're pretty HE resistant too), the G maverick explosion gets eaten, while a D maverick has the pen to go through. If it hits a barrel from the front, the G maverick will not do internal damage while the D maverick (depending on where the HEAT jet goes) might still pen the vehicle even from a standoff and do something internal. If you have roof shots the G might be more reliable, but that defeats the purpose of using the Harrier's helipad airspawn (And leaves you vulnerable to SPAMRAAMs or AA) meaning you have to deal with side ERA and front hull hits. I would never take the F-16 pylon where you trade 3 HEAT mavs for 1 SAP-HE mav But on the Harrier/Gripens my current stance is they're a sidegrade. They will fail spectacularly in different ways to the D mavs, but depending on the target set I can see situations where the G mavs are better (not facing Russia). Only plane where the G maverick is hands down the best choice is the Gripen C: Your other mavericks are TV versions and therefore won't work in night battles (if you have them on) and have a much shorter track lock range. I'll give the G mavericks another go when I unlock them on the Harrier, maybe take some (anecdotal, ingame) stats on their lethality and see which are better in the long run.

I enjoyed it

@@MexxiUK Glad to hear that!

unique and enjoyable, keep it up 👍

hes using chaff mr brain

he's not flaring IR missiles. he's chaffing radar missiles lol. you're the one that lacks basic knowledge. the irony.

we found the F4-S bomber in the comments already

I have separate keybinds for flares and chaff. You do see me sometimes mess up my buttons since I had to swap a lot of keybinds after the patch (Flares are now on my old landing gear button G, chaff is on the old target lock button X, deploy both are still on the old muscle memory C. I think these were the old defaults that I just got used to). Granted if someone gets a close range rear aspect shot with a half decent IR missile you explode anyways due to the 2 super hot engines. Even at 0 throttle the missiles often see through flares.

Have you played warthunder before or?

Hey, I had to press 2 buttons, first to swap TWS target and then to fire the missile! Clearly needs to be rewarded for such exemplary high skill gameplay /s

everything on screen is default except for the colors, which you can change in the menu

thats the radar 😆

Are you stupid by chance

with 16v16 the radar on the right side (and radar warning, the circle on the left) becomes very cluttered, especially when the missile spam begins

what part of the overlay made you think it's a cheat? lol

The J-20 Isn't actually made to be maneuverable. It's very large with no thrust vectoring, and smaller wing size like the F35. Even a Chinese test pilot say that the maneuverability is comparable with the J-10, but significantly better stealth performance. The J-20 is meant to be paired with the long range PL-15 more like an interceptor than a fighter.

​@EL4Mdesu then why adding front canard to J20?

@@mohammadsab4478 I think it's for stability and low speed handling, since the plane itself is really large (the largest 5th gen currently). And there is no way that the J20 will ever beat the F-22 or even the SU-57 in a fair dogfight since both the F-22 and SU-57 have thrust vectoring.

@@mohammadsab4478 because it doesn't have horizontal stabilizers

The J-20 is an interceptor and the SU-57 isn’t only good for dogfights.

I sadly don't have any T-72A (the base 72A) footage lying around, so that will have to wait until after I finish exams for the semester.
