Hey guys, decided to go on a bit of a bombing the other day, and had some fun in the B-17G-60-VE Flying Fortress. Iconic plane, good looking, nice turret placement and packing a good punch. Hope you enjoy! and if you did make sure to Like, Comment, SHARE and Subscribe for more. Have a good day folks! o7
You've been missed! Welcome back!
@@2bparistol8 ty sir! o7
good to see jengar still making war thunder airplane videos for many years now
Ty Sir! o7
Back in the day I used to really love taking out lower tier bombers such as the Ju-88's, in particular the A4.
They weren't so much as 'bombers' as they had (no idea about them currently) very good speeds, great maneuverability, great offensive and defensive armament.
You learn the lay of those double Mg 81's as well as the plane itself, my god.
It was glorious, sometimes I'd walk away with anywhere from 4-5 kills, sometimes more in rare cases.
Truly a plane of all time.
roger that, love remembering them glory days!
This plane is actually better in up tiers to 6.0 because half of the enemy team is usually Ju 288s. But when I get downtiered to 4.3-5.0 I face a lot of Do 335s and Bf109 K&G Models. Otherwise this bomber is till great and it’s great to grind with.
you might actually be right there ;) i was killed by ta's the most.
I played like 100 battles with him, but almost 80 i got killed by a do335 so that make me drop this bomber cus i couldnt even destroy one base
@@aleaatoriedadeeventual5101 Yep same with me
Love the bomber content. Wish they'd incentivize flying them more. It'd give the fighter jocks something to shoot at, or, protect as well.
roger that, gaijin has got work to do, long delayed work to improve air RB. And the bomber role with that.
@@jengar6258 Agreed. I'd even like an EC style game mode for the bombers. In addition let us fly them in the World War mode to bomb enemy factories!
Jengar I'm glad to see your back love your videos! Keep up the amazing work always look forward to your videos so thanks! I personally love flying the B-17's my all time favorite plane in real life as well. I personally love flying in B-17 formations when I can which is a ton of fun. I personally love escorting B-17's or bombers in general with my XP50. You ever need an escort let me know.
Come join my squadron to fly with me regularly ;) and yeah, bombers keep having their appeal :)
Sean. I'd like to fly in a bomber formation. What's your name on WT?
thank you for these plane reviews, they're really helpful for me since I just started a few months ago! Would you be doing a US Rank 3 review soon? I love that series!
Rank III will come in the comming 2 weeks. o7
B-17 666 most decorated plane with all it's extra guns including a forward shooting gun for the pilot to fire like a fighter would be cool one to fight. Won a 17 to one battle vs Japanese fighters.
For anyone wondering who these ace bomber pilots are in war thunder checkout Hitman's bomber videos on youtube. You wont be disappointed. He often makes planes like the b17 look like bf109s the way he dogfights and kills whole enemy teams!
Thanks for that I'll defo take a look!
Hitmann used to be in my squadron, he's a great pilot and a nice dude. And insanely good in a bomber.
@@jengar6258 I already checked out his channel, awesome! I remember in my first days of WT SIM, I would go out in a P-61 or ME-410 and set my guns to 700m just in case I managed to get a kill! Of which, to be honest, there were not many, still not that many ;( - hopefully I'm getting a less expensive head tracker soon which may help! Happy Flying Jengar! ;D
I hope you good luck jengar and the B17G was the most produced variant of the Flying Fortress family and the black triangle meaning to the eighth Air Force bombardment group
Welcome back sir!
ty mate!
I occasionally fly bombers. The biggest thing holding me back from flying bombers is my horrible gunner skills. When I do fly bombers, I usually fly bombers with forward facing guns like the T18, B18, and ar234c. When I fly the b17, I usually side climb a lot and then turn back in and drop on the remaining bases.
ye fair enough, you have to fly them regularly to become proficient.
The Flying Dutchman, back with another video.
Roger that! o7
After this great video I am really considering to research and play some B 17s. But the first what i need to research is the earlier version and i don't know if it is as good as this version for the BR .
earlier versions are fine too, just some small differences.
I am still flying very low BR (3.7 tops) and play almost exclusively pure fighters so I don't have much experience in bomber mechanics. Do turret gunners ever fire on their own ? When shooting in gunner mode do all available turrets fire or just the one selected gunner ? Have you ever run into any ammo limits in gunner mode ?
they do fire on their own, but only at a much closer distance. When you shoot in gunnery view you see the individual guns by the green circles. When you fire them you see the ammo run out by the green outlining becomming red. You can wind that back by leaving breaks in your firing.
I just played my first game with this and took oit one plane bombed a special base or somethin and damaged another before i died(the other plane took A TON of hits i dont even blame the bomber)
job done! o7
The only bomber i fly is the He-177 at 6.0, as it doesnt feel to OP, nor to weak.
i remember, i had a lot of fun in the He 177 when i made my review :)
Are you planning to revisit the B29 or the Tu-4?
ye, i will revisit the B-29
I actually prefer bombers so whenever I get a chance, I will fly them but I still do you have two fighter aircraft
I love this version of B-17. Previosuly i flew british Lancasters so its lacks from my previous experience 6 1000lb bombs, But survivability and flight performance are muh betterthan B-24 which can carry exactly saem bomb load.
ah yeah, the brits are not great in the turret department.
timely... i am currently grinding us and german bomber lines for naval ec
nice coincidence! glad to be of service. o7
Could you play the Me 264
when i go trough the german ranks sure :)
It's only problem is that is it isn't the me264.
hehe, fair enough.
Be6, a26, b17 (jap), ju 288 love them all
hehe, fair enough :)
@@jengar6258 they are some cute sl making machines. Made recently my ace in the ju288 awesome tool. Would love to have higher sl modifiers on the g8n1
@@tokugawa33 i seen too many 288's while flying the F4U-4B ;)
Superfortress
Will do! o7
@@jengar6258 Good video btw. Can't wait to get to the B17.
@@Butteredthanatoast ty sir! o7
Speed is relative, you know. So, usually bombers are so slow relative to other types of planes so it drive me nuts. And they are not so useful, maybe as a bait firstly, it is not a 2014.
I am not very patient when it comes to palying WT.
Fair enough mate, you should play what you enjoy! as for making the bomber role more interesting, only gaijin can fix that for us.
Im the second guy who is requesting a video of the B-29 Superfortress, pleasee 🥺
Will do, my old one must be 5-6 years old, so i guess its time for a revisit! ;)
@@jengar6258 Thank you, I love youu! ❤❤
i have 30 percent winrate on b17 because my teamates always get wiped

I was literally just in a match with you and i lagged out. Literally get to fight beside one of my war thunder heros and i get giajined lol. I sent you a friend request will you accept it? I would love to pkay sometime.
Ye, i remember, annoying that you lagged out. As to the friendrequest, i dont take them. In the past i had a full friendlist and i got constant contact that disrupted my recording. So i dont do that anymore. Best way to fly with me is joining my squadron. =NmY= Unrivaled.
Bro do you know how leading works? Kentucky windage, point of aim point of impact?
