Climbing the ranks with... German aircraft / War Thunder

💥 Play War Thunder for Free Now: wt.link/play4freeYT
This is a new episode of the series where we are showing you the most interesting vehicles of each nation. Today we’ll be talking about Germany!
The Luftwaffe considered their aircraft... a kind of a “flying artillery”, one of the integral parts of the Blitzkrieg and a handy tool for ground support. That’s why they prioritized giving their aircraft a considerable bomb load over designing lots of different fighter types.

The 88A-4 is a monster. It carries so much load at such a low rank, and it's divebombing capability makes it basically a heavy fighter with less guns and with more bombs.

It's always satisfying when you completely own a noob stomper with a jet while flying a BF-109. Gotta love those 20 mils

[@karlovicplutonism8476]

You forgot about the 4th 262 with 4x 30mm cannons and 2x 20mm cannons.

[@skootles110]

Hey uh...you should remove crew lock so when your game breaks and sends me flying into an ocean after trying to take off from a carrier I don't have to wait 7 minutes to play again or when a destroyed aircraft slams into mine I can still play it..Oh and maybe you should release a quality of life update and not keep pumping out modern vehicles that only break the game more

[@tristanvanherk1321]

This is how a climbing the ranks video should look like, not just talking about fighters only, but talking olso about bombers and strike aircraft.

[@lukaslibar7615]

Currently my go-to german warbird is the squadron vehicle me-262 A1a/u1, i realy like it's different types of guns that allow you to relyably hit the enemy with at least one gun at any range... But you have to master boom and zoom for it

[@MitchMaker]

[@ericshelly2518]

I love using the Stuka with the 37mm. I found that a stabilized approach to the target using speed brakes and a steep AOA works best. I pull the trigger at 800 away . Don’t forget get to retract the speed brakes on the egress.

[@Neonblue84]

My favourite are the Ju-87 series (Stuka)
Stuka-Sturzkampfbomber, literally high altitude dive bomber
I love the "jericho trumpets" on that planes.

[@threnn9509]

I have a question. Why is the "Sturmvogel" only a event vehicle? It was built in pretty high numbers and we have other jets in game that have a pretty good loadout for groundattacking as well so why is it only a event vehicle?

[@Pantsugrenadiere]

Yay stuka ! Honestly you should have had the possibility to add or remove those Jéricho Trumpet on every stuka variant that would have been nice

[@rn-zu5ld]

I only fear a stuka when I hear that otherwise I wouldn't care and just shoot it out the sky instead of running away

[@Leon_der_Luftige]

Hint: If you want to grind these toys fast, get the Me264 and whenever you got an RP-booster, go into sim battles and bomb airfields efficiently into smithereens.
This works with bombers of many different nations if the payload is appropriate.
sim battle bomber grind is very much broken and easy to do.

[@marsminion705]

@@MF-vp9tc if they will add the mirage lll ,the french tech tree will be hyped and the imbalance in the top tier games will be ennormous.
Because then some people want the Harrier and the Su 7 Flanker and in the end we get an Avro Vulcan and an B 47 with abnormous payloads.
So they hopefully just dont do it.
Otherwise the german techh tree is higly underpowered when it comes to jet fighters.

My go to is the Horten 229, i love that plane, its the only "Nurflügler" Plane in the game and you just showed it :(

[@GreenAir_]

The Bf109 F4 is by far my most loved plane in the German tech tree, even in the whole game! Speed, manouvrability, good payload options like the extra 20mils with the ground targets belt penning up to 50 mm of armor.
P.s. I really enjoy playing his game! I have maaaaaaany hours in it.
