- I poured my heart and soul into this video. Roast me.
Tricks #5 video shows how to execute an advanced maneuver with which you can defeat enemies that start with the energy advantage: the reversal. When you master this maneuver, sideclimbing mostly becomes a thing of the past since you aren't threatened by lone enemies with the altitude advantage anymore (except for the Japanese). But, the difficult part is mastering it. Hopefully this video helps you in that endeavor.
Thanks for the support in reaching 1k subs! It would be an understatement if I said that this milestone was ahead of schedule.
Footage taken over the span of a couple of months. I had to choose the most educational ones. This is not a montage!!

I heard your voice... oh reminded me when i had English Listening exam xD xD
Hahaha I suppose that's good!
Adam, you should replacing the guy who speaking on my listening exam, cus your voice sounds much more clear than him xD
@Landen Zakai stfu
yeahhhhh boiiiiiiiiiiiii
Yeeeeeeeee boi.
@@AdamTheEnginerd Yeeeeeeeeeahhhhh boiii
Finally get to hear your beautiful voice! :D
Hahaha thanks for the compliment I suppose!
Great games with thorough explanations, brilliant! Probably one of the best WT channels XD
Thanks for the praise!
All the clips in this video are absolutely fantastic textbook examples, I could not help but exclaim "Brilliant!" while watching the vid. Loved it, keep up the good work!
P.s. your voice sound soothing
i was about to ask you on how to do the reversal that you taught me while ago
Hopefully this answered your question!
I reversed you
Best vid yet. Your dulcet, vaguely foreign tones are a balm for these troubled times. Keep up the good work
Damn didn't know a poet was in our midst.
thanks. I dabble
Thx Adam. Saved me lots of times. Though I couldn't quite reverse (due to my skill limit, this video is awesome) I did manage to use it to survive!
My pleasure! Surviving is a good outcome too!
Mate your maneuver clips and lectures are so impressive. Tnx for good vids and plz keep it up!
Thanks man! I will! Feel free to share with your friends!
All the clips in this video are absolutely fantastic textbook examples, I could not help but exclaim "Brilliant!" or "excellent!" each time you do a reversal. Loved it, keep up the good work!
P.s. your voice sound soothing
Hahaha thanks mate! I will!
Thanks for the compliment!
Thanks for the vid. I always have issues with reversals and anything on my 6. Thanks for providing great techniques. I watch all your vids. So educational. Thanks man!
My pleasure man!
Man you know your shit better then 98.85% of the best war thunder players out there, taught me and a lot of other people many many lessons, and made a fockin good video, thank you for that, I seriously respect you, liked, favorited, subscribed and shared this beauty so many more can know this legend.
Thanks a lot mate! Means a lot to me!
That's a precise % of War Thunder players you got there ;).
I like this new format, even though it's recorded in a toaster mic. Congrats on your 1K subs, i'd like to see more of this in the future!
Hahaha no that's just my voice! Thanks!
Impressive mate, thanks for sharing. Love WT!
Thanks mate!
Congrats on 1k subs and great video
Thanks a lot for your continued support!
Probably so far the best video dedicated to this topic
Me watching this video : Yes instructor.
Adam watching me get rekt: No I'm not your instructor u noob
Lmao why am I not your instructor?
I think he implying you would disown him in shame
Jim Greenberg yes
Ahh damn that's heartless.
It is the samurai way
Amazing info and great visuals. This will definitely help my piloting skills. Ty.
Thanks mate!
Thank you so much for these videos. Using concise explanations and quantitative data has helped improve my game considerably. Congrats on the 1k👍
i been telling him to use his voice for a long time, i bet he would even have more subs than now if he did XD
Thank you for the support!
Voice is a massive time investment though, gotta take that into account.
Nice to hear you ^^
Great video
Thanks man!
Step by step you grow. Bravo
Haha in what sense?
You definitely earned a new subscriber.
Very useful videos and interesting gameplays ; glad you landed in my recommandations :p
Thanks man! And welcome! There's always more to learn!
Keep this series up man, lovin it
Yes sir! Feel free to suggest a topic if you see something I do and you'd like more information on it!
Adam514 oh dude i do have this couple of things id really look forward for somone to cover on:
1. how to clutch, or atleast maximize the chance of winning in 1 v many fights
2. How to win in general
Those are 2 of my suggestions. Id really like to know how you look at it, feel free to have it in mind and good luck to your channel
1. Most of my videos feature me in the numbers/energy disadvantage, and I give my thoughts every time.
2. I'll think about i!
Thanks!
that's super cool, great video quality.
Thanks man!
Top quality stuff! My accuracy is too poor to pull off these kinds of maneuvers. lol
Thanks man!
Haha if your accuracy is as poor as you say (which I doubt), you just need to get them slow ;).
My issue is I'm too reliant on zooming in to score my kills, and the smaller field of vision throws off my aim. Or I'll reflexively zoom in just before I shoot, and that throws my aim off. I've done it for years now. It's a hard habit to kick, and my aim without zooming in is so bad.
Great vid, keep up the good work!!1!!1!
11111
tnx adam coz of you i got mine first kills in RB your game plays helps a lot .
My pleasure!
So many "Bravo!"'s and "Excellent!"'s, heres one more Sir, bravo! Very informative and entertaining :)
Thanks man!
Outstanding vid very helpful thanks
My pleasure!
thanks for this video great content !!
Thanks mate, my pleasure!
Your aim is impeccable!
Thanks mate!
You help alot guys. Nice vedio !!!!!
Thanks man, I try my best!
Adam, amazing tutorial. Is there any way that you can make a short reversal video where we see your point of view, but also from the opponent's point of view as well? I know it would certainly help me to see exactly what you are doing. If not, no worries and thanks for the great channel!
Yeah maybe one day.
Thanks for this tip man thx!
My pleasure m8!
Sickkkk voiceee, maybe be an aerospace commentator😂😂
Lmao, I've been toying with the idea of slightly branching off to discuss technical aspects of aircraft to explain their performance.
Ahhh its nice to watch such videos and still learn something even after 2000h spent on the game.
I agree!
great video. And there is no problem with your voice mate ;)
Haha well it's monotone, unlike some other ones...
I was flying a wyvern in clouds and I saw a black dot on my six .I guess it's a fighter chasing me because I happened to notice there's one thunderbolt missing .It was below the clouds with his teammates so I began a shallow dive and got out of the clouds and voilà that p47 was on my tail .I performed a deep dive and then a split S . Wyvern lost much speed when it turns so I didn't kiss the floor though it was close . The p47 seemed to forget he has air brake and try following this and crashed .That's what a noob like me can do at his best .
Haha yeah the Wyvern bleeds so much speed in turns, it's probably what saved you. And nice use of voilà ;).
That friendly was so pumped up and ready to help you and you just reversed that P-51 to mush, wonder what he was thinking after that
Always good to try to help even if it wasn't needed in the end!
Nice reversals bro, I remember some of these :p
Thanks! And yeah you've seen a couple from another point of view!
I love ur vids boi
Hahaha thanks mate!
NOTIFICATION SQUAD (ps: what a smooth voice you have)
Oh ! grand-mère, quelle grande bouche et quelles terribles dents tu as !
Adam514 haha
how do you only have 1k subs? i feel like it should be 10k :)
Haha it'll come with time!
yeah, I would love to see that!
Now it is 11k subs :)
Sup?
@@jasotpatakasu8673 Hi ;D
very nice video! 1 suggestion is if you can make a part 2 to this and have a scenario were you are at equal energy states with your attacker. i find this scenario to be slightly more difficult, and it takes longer to get a clean reversal with no damage.
Cheers. :)
You can always reduce your energy by throttling down and diving. Also, if you are at equal energy states you are better off retreating towards teammates, it's safer.
im talking at low alt. withought room to run. in these types of situations it is much harder
If you're in the faster plane you should run, and if you aren't faster you are probably more maneuverable, so turn and roll a bit to throw his aim off and then pitch up. It's something I do often, but it's always better not to get in that situation.
Incredibly hellful
I'm the master of hell!
Excelent vídeo! And Nice Voice!
Hahaha thanks man!
its been a year, and i still watch this :)
I see you're a man of culture as well.
Nice lecture, as always! By the way, can I ask you a basic lesson about MEC? Sometimes you use MEC like rad, manual prop pitch in your videos. However, since I completely have no idea about MEC, I can't understand why you use those techniques at that moment at all. If you mind, ofc you don't have to do! Always thanks for your nice videos and have a good day!
Thanks!
The most basic (and useful) MEC setting is the radiator. The bigger the radiator opening (%), the more cooling the engine/liquid gets, but also the more drag. If you're running away from someone, you should put the rads to 0%, but when you're climbing you should set them around 30%-50% to not overheat and keep WEPing.
There are tutorials on CZcams for MEC, then after you set it up you can practice.
Things like prop pitch airbrake are very advanced, it's not worth learning when you're just starting MEC.
+Adam514 Tnx for your reply and help :)
My pleasure!
Great videos, these
You're on a nice CZcams streak ;).
I usually don't interact much on CZcams, but this is gonna help me massively to improve. Thanks :)
My pleasure!
HEy ADam, which settings or PostFX do you use? At 2:46, those cannon shots look amazing, I´m playing on Max Settings and my cannons look...shitty :)
Love ya vids
Old video, can't do this anymore.
Thanks!
That's a sweet voice you have :)
hehe, do this with P-47D-28 is super fun atm
Hahaha thanks!
D28 is too dirty for me for now lol.
Gaijin must lost their mind, the plane is well deserved 5.3 BR lul
I’m struggling with it
Nice video
Thanks!
That P47 start shooting 800m away? I used to see them shoot 2 km away and I catch fire from random single hit. BTW thank you for the tricks, best WT CZcams channel and finally hearing your voice much better
Most people can't hit past 1km anyway.
Thanks m8!
Adam514 😎 actually they do most players has 800m as a gun targeting distance theoretically they could hit 1.6km away
Nah most players run 400-600m. I always run 400m, and that doesn't stop me from hitting at over 1km.
Adam514 you are OP man
Haha I try my best!
Adam the type of guy to teach a whole damn school on flying planes.
Hahaha it's my calling!
You are the best
Thanks!
Hey Adam, can we get some La-9 gameplay and maybe some Yak-9UT as well? (45mm snipes?) :):):)
I'll add it to my list! I've gotta warn you though, I can't aim 23mm at all.
Hey Adam, im currently flying the Yak 3P. When there are Japanese planes tailing me i always find it dificult to reverse, because the wings rip at 683 km/h. What i tried doing is bringing it to a low speed dogfight and outturn him with flaps. The A6Ms will be above you most of the time. BTW great video.
Yeah Russians have a tough time with Japanese. Do not try to turn with them, that's the worst thing you can do. Extend away towards friendlies if you don't have the energy advantage.
This may sound like a stupid question but I am going to ask it. When doing the last reversal on the G56 after u pitch in to him and then pitch up are u using keyboard or the mouse for that. Also when u flip over for the shot are using the keyboard to try and line up your shot or are you pointing your cursor to where u think he will be. Thanks in advance great tutorial.
When doing maneuvers except for strictly dodging, I always use mouse for the pitch (elevator). I always use keyboard to help with the roll though.
Thanks mate!
Wow ! Très impressionant !! Et j'aime bien ta voix. Je me sens nul tout d'un coup...
Haha merci!
I did learn something from this video.
I learned how terrible I am at Air RB.
Will try to get better.
Hahaha sorry!
Yes! You kept your promise ;)
Haha my 1k sub video promise?
Yes! I believe you will conquer the WT section of CZcams!
Hey, just don't forget about me ok? I want 5000 GE if that's possible ^^
Hahaha I won't!
Great video yet again. I have a couple of things that I'd love to understand.
1. It seems like you think roll rate is more important than turn rate is for achieving reversals. Is this because you will usually have very little time to aim and hence you will usually need to be able to orient your plane very quickly?
2. In your clip at 5 mins, what should the Spitfire Mk XVIII have done rather than pitching up?
3. Great call on adding your voice. Are you from Quebec by any chance?
Thanks a lot mate!
1. Both are important. You need the turn and the roll to orient your guns on target in the 5-10s window to get the shot. These reversals were the clean and easy to explain type, with a lot of gun time (if needed) so that aim is less of a requirement (but still a big one).
2. He should have pitched up a few seconds earlier, right when I start the aggressive roll. He kept going straight until he was within 300m, which made me able to pitch up at around 80° instead of the 120° required if he had pitched up earlier. Of course, if he pitches up to early, I just continue on my way and escape, and that's why he didn't. He also could have slowed down to stay behind me, he was going about 125+km/h faster when the ideal is around 50km/h.
3. Haha yes I am! My accent gave me away?
Thank you mate :)
1. Cool I understand. I guess roll rate is particularly helpful (and more helpful than turn rate) in denying a firing angle to an approaching enemy?
2. That's so helpful. Thank you :)
3. I spent some time in Montreal a few years ago (and I've watched a lot of ice hockey) so I think I'm often able to spot a Quebec accent :)
1. It's hard to say which one is more important. You don't need excessive roll, and you don't need excessive turn (bleeds speed), so there's a sweet spot (imo, Tempest Mk V).
3. Nice! I actually live in Montreal, hence "514" in Adam514 which is the area code for phone numbers.
My pleasure!
1. I'm going to give the Tempest Mk V some time in the air. It's been sitting underloved in my hangar for too long.
3. Man I am so jealous. I lllooovvveee Montreal. I had wondered what the 514 meant :)
Looking very forward to your next video.
Haha thanks, me too!
WUHUUU HE IS TALKING.
Awesome
Thanks! I'll send your regards ;).
Show them a little trick I learned! Thanks!
Haha at least this can be used!
Yes and no!
Yes:
- Great skills as always!
- 1000 subs, congrats :)
- Great tips, now I have to implement this in my noob brains :D I liked this "side to side" maneuver. Seen it before but didn't really understand it.
- 1st video with voice commentary. (finally :D )
- I`m not in kill montage :D
No:
- lack of conversation. Just talk to us, all as a viewers we want to be related with what you are showing. So, pick a bullet points and lets have a conversation :)
- New mic is a must (with time) :D
Overall, great video, cannot wait for k4 and c3 ones...........!!!! :D :D :D
I disagree with the no's
Thanks for the feedback!
-Lack of conversation: not sure how to go about that, in my opinion I was showing you guys how I perform this maneuver.
-New mic: because of some audio artifacts? Sound quality? It sounds clear to me, the changing volume from time to time is not due to the mic.
I don`t have balls, time or skills to do youtube videos, but I have seen some youtuber`s who starts rigid, however with time they become more flexible or more like conversationalists :D.
All the information we need is here. Compare yourself when you started playing war thunder and how you are doing it now, same thing applies with commentary. Obviously you have skills and presentation will come with time. :)
Yes there is some audio artifacts and volume irregularities, maybe some enchantments are applied or there is increased distance to microphone.
I don't have that much time either haha. Yeah presentation isn't my strong suit that's for sure.
I tried my best to keep the distance with my mic constant, I suppose small changes had this effect.
he needs to continue this series
I agree!
After watching the video several times that lovely accent keeps echoing in my head lol
Hahaha not many people would say that!
managed to pull a very sloppy reversal yesterday with fw 190 a4. the enemy didnt know how to aim. and i got surprised when i got on his six. nevertheless watching your videos are a joy and educational
Nice! And thanks for the praise!
I usually pull my landing flaps whenever I see someone skilled enough in a defensive flyer so how can u reverse someone who knows that he can turn better than you at a lower speed and thus makes sure to lower his speed just enough to make sure that he doesn't overshoot. Also are these reversals possible if the enemy turns into an extended spiral climb with a wide radius instead of going in the same direction as your plane for eg. in the la-7 and f4u what would have u done if the enemy had turned hard towards one side while climbing and making a 180-degree turn. And let's say that this helps u survive but if u rinse and repeat won't u eventually run out of altitude to get the same speed as the enemy. And thanks for making the videos man really nice work.
That's a good question. You are right, reversals cannot be done safely at low speeds, because both of you will turn the same. That's why in all my reversals, I'm in a slight dive if the speed differential between myself and the enemy isn't high enough for a safe reversal.
So if as you say you slow down to prevent overshooting, I just keep diving and escape to friendlies. That's part of the reason why I don't throttle down in all these reversals.
If the enemy does a wide climbing turn far enough away from you, then you won't be able to reverse them, but you'll escape, and that's a win in and of itself since you were at an energy disadvantage. If they had so much energy that they can do that and still catch you, then you try to reverse them again. They'll be bleeding more energy than you with all those maneuvers while you're going straight.
My pleasure mate!
TY
This is a pretty old video but i need to ask, what happens on those aircrafts that simply do not have the same armament, like for example in the last reversal if tried with a lower rank F4U you only get .50 cals and not the 20mm cannons the 4b does have, in that example it went succesfull since you could just one shot him but what if you could not, it would be the same proccess all over again?
lol I just realised that I pulled a reversal on the spitfire you killed at 4:28 a few games ago
Really? Damn, what are the odds, and you have a good memory?
@@AdamTheEnginerd oh I don’t have a good memory, he was just being super toxic
Thanks for the video. So the idea is to cause the opponent to lose control in high speed, i.e, can't turn fast enough so it dashed ahead??
There's some of that yeah.
Beautiful, I can only wish to do something like this on a controller though
Thanks! Yeah it's harder to do most things with a controller.
I know right! Sometimes I wish I would’ve learned on PC
Hey nice, with vocal it's so much better!
Ehh it was necessary for this video because there's a lot of information that needs to be said in a short time, and the viewer needs to pay attention to what's going on to understand. For my other videos it isn't necessary, and divides the editing time by 10+ (this video took many hours to make!).
I always come back to this video after I get shot down attempting to try to reversal and I am having the absolute worst time trying to learn. Is there some fundamentals you would recommend that I might be missing?
By the way, how do you roll? Is there a particular way to roll and turn the plane? I can understand you turn to avoid be lined up, but how did you roll to make your opponent overshoot and dash ahead?
You need to roll then pitch, preferably when the enemy is still rolled away from you. Then you lose some speed and turn into the enemy, which increases the closing rate a lot, making them overshoot.
Amazing, kinda like a verticle scissors but not exactly.
Hard to describe indeed.
Can you do a video on the Cl13 on how to duel jets? Always fighting tighter turning migs, can't get a grip. I hope you could teach me how.
I'm not really a jets expert though. Defyn, one of the best jet pilots in WT, would be able to answer your question a lot better: czcams.com/channels/aZxLTrdV9S78TO1Cc2yzNA.html
Here's my reasoning in any case: Cl13 is probably the best jet in game at the moment. It certainly outturns Migs as long as you stay above 700km/h. Mig15s are absolute bricks and crap. If ever he's turning better, just go straight and accelerate and you'll leave them in the dust. Plus, Cl13s don't really fight Migs, they are mostly on the same team.
Adam514 I'll take your advice for it. I'm hopeless at jets, often sitting at 6.3. Hope this will fix that
Thanks Adam ! And I want to ask how and when should I use spiral climb in a bf109? I never try spiral climb before and I don't know how to use it.
You should spiral climb when you already have the energy advantage and the enemy is zooming up to you to try and shoot you. With the spiral climb, you present a smaller target and you conserve your speed to drop down on him quickly as soon as he stalls.
Adam514 so I spiral climb when the enemy want to shoot me but not fast enough? What about spiral climb after you head on?
Yeah that works too but you need a significant energy advantage.
I feel those 10 minutes + few seconds ehehe.
Haha what are you implying?
*has learned that rolling side to side is the deadliest manuever*
Unbeatable ;).
Adam, perhaps you won’t see this since this is an old video, but how do you know so much about each individual plane and how they compare to each other? Where do you get your information?
Experience and testing.
wait, Adam, how do u roll from side to side while controlling with keyboard? Do u just use ailerons and elevators? or do u use some other method?
Yeah pretty much.
@@AdamTheEnginerd Ok, thank u very much for that! I guess I'll just go practice doing it later.
where do i find those stats when the spitfire for example cant handle high speed or the roll rate? How do i know which rollrate from Plane X is better than Plane Y? Since you cant testflight planes which are not unlocked.
You can't really find that kind of stuff unfortunately.
Do you need to use pitch left/right when you roll, or just roll is enough?
Need pitch yes.
Adammmmm
Yo!
‘Barrel Roll’
Do a barrel roll?
Knolege! With knolege you win the wars
It's part of the battle!
8 clips damn dude!
Haha what do you mean?
I'm impressed that you took the time to record and edit 8 whole clips. Good video bro
9 clips*. Thanks I suppose, I do put a decent amount of time in my CZcams channel though.
So I pulled off a reversal against a 190 in the Helldiver today. Wasn't that impressive to be honest, more because the opposing pilot committed to an extended series of scissors but was still a reversal. Also got a 109 that tried to zoom climb for me in that match. My french Helldiver has a 14-5 record in 13 games. I wish I had saved my reversal against a German P-47 in that thing. Yeah reversals in more maneuverable aircraft isn't particularly impressive but I think it is when it is the Helldiver against 190s and P-47s. I'm still willing to help with any potential Helldiver video if you want. :) Also can't decide on best ordinance option to take. Do I want to take rockets for early anti bomber stuff or a light bomb load and just drop it wherever? Don't want to take the 4 .50s as I don't think the performance loss for them is actually worthwhile. Also don't know the ammo belt that they use.
Also that last clip had probably one of the best squads possible in terms of who I would want to fly with. So glad that I didn't face it.
Haha anything is impressive in the Helldiver... And nice record in it.
I think loading bombs or rockets is a waste. And at the moment the performance penalty for those 4 extra guns is minuscule, it's certainly worth loading them.
Lol yeah, too easy.
Meh. How about 4 in the very next match? Again I don't think it was notably impressive for the most part but I could try sending you the replay(s) and let you decide. Could have been shot down after I think the 2nd kill but some reason the other guy just couldn't land his shots.
The loss of climb is my concern in using them. Also if you can land your shots with the cannons they do rather well themselves so I don't see the need for the added firepower at the cost of the added weight. Just me though.
4 kills? Nice lol.
It won't change climb by more than 10%, and the climb isn't even there to begin with lol.
No it very much isn't but if you get dragged down late in the match and want to climb back up a small difference can go a long way. Thus I'd rather the extra climb as ridiculous as that may be.
Link to replay for 4 kill match at WT replay section if anyone wants to see it. If it doesn't come up search silentrain in the user search bar with RB, random, aircraft and look for Berlin 20 May, 3:35
warthunder.com/en/tournament/replay/327010267227903547
Again I don't think the kills were particularly impressive but for any curious enough to want to see it. I know I saw a few wanting to see Adam fly the Helldiver in prior video comments. Until Adam does it this may entertain you lot.
It's going to take me awhile to get half decent Helldiver footage, don't hold your breath.
Just wondering, how would u compare the tempest mk2 and mk5, considering their br.
Is the extra performance of the mk2 worth it? Or just go with the mk5 and enjoy more or less good MM?
It isn't worth it. 5.7 just barely misses the jets, and you get downtiered vs Germany usually. Tempest Mk V is a better deal for the BR.
Adam514 oh, and one more question. When u fly your tempest mk5 on a big map like Norway, do u climb as high as possible, or is there a altitude you don’t exceed?
I mean with your reversal skills u probably don’t have a problem when flying lower :p
While i get the most kills with stuff like chandelles or such things, where the enemy gets slow
What are your thoughts on the Focke-Wulf 190 a-5 as a reverser?
Fw190As are especially good at revering. Good roll and great flaps.
Adam514 thanks, I’ve been trying to fly out the A-5 more often so I don’t lose my touch on the butcher bird line, as I’ve been playing the A7M1 and A6M3, my fav turnfighters
All of these clips feature you, in a low-alt, low-speed position, taking advantage of your opponents high speed to kill them. So, I'm still left with my problem.
I fly a MiG-15Bis, and I get sabres on my tail pretty frequently. It is so hard to shake them off - so far I've been nosing into a dive, then rolling continuously (bad roll rate on the mig, so can't go back and forth) until my opponent is nearly up my ass, then I sharply pull up so that he overshoots and tries to escape by diving away. Because of my bad aim and the MiG's pretty crap guns with slow muzzle velocities, I only get the kill less than half the time, but it saves me, and I can usually get a kill elsewhere.
But this doesn't always work. Sometimes I have a Sabre behind me and I can't do anything - often when we're flying at the same speed. Any tips for those situations?
Yeah Mig15Bis is a tough aircraft to reverse something in, especially a Sabre. Priority for the Mig15 is to not have anything on your 6 that has enough energy that you can't outclimb. Of course it'll still happen that you get stuff on your 6, and in that case I'd mainly use pitch up and down with slight rolls to dodge until they are close enough to commit to pitching in one direction.
Hey Adam, I know this video is old but I was wondering how to counter a reversal when your the person who’s diving. Is there any way to zoom away out of the persons gunning range without you being in their sights?
You can break off before you get too close (reduces your chances of landing hits), or turn in the opposite direction when the enemy commits to a turn, and that will put some distance between both of you, making for a harder shot. Then you can transition into a spiral climb if you have enough of an energy advantage.
AdamTheEnginerd ok thanks!
My pleasure!
@@AdamTheEnginerd thanks
OMYGAD. IS THAT HIS VOICE?!?!?!
Perhaps, stay tuned to find out ;).
Adam est tu quebecois? 514 =Montréal lol damn GG en tout cas pour tes review! +1 abbone
Oui! Haha merci, et bienvenue!
I never seem to be able to pick up on this information, have 6000 hours in this game and still dont feel good at it. I feel aim is the biggest issue, do you have an aim guide?
6000 hours? Damn that's impressive.
I don't have an aim guide, I feel like it can't really be taught in a video. I recommend being patient, and try to predict what the enemy will do in that situation and that aircraft, but you probably know that already.
Is there ever a situation when you are the more maneuverable aircraft where you don't want to take them into the vertical?
Need to make sure they are close enough and with enough of a speed difference so that they can't get the lead on you before they overshoot. The rest of the details don't matter too much.
Tempest mk V has better high speed turn than the F4U-4B? At what speed is that?
None, it's no longer the case. They are close at 600 or so.
Aren't these reversals dependant on the attacker attempting to gain altitude after missing? It seems to me if they just extend away they should be able to escape most of the time.
Somewhat, but some of them also go in a straight line. Basically you want to lure the enemy in as close as possible so that when they realize they'll overshoot and break off, you are close enough to pull off the shot.
I tried flying the Ta yesterday and quit after two games. Having multiple P-47s and P-51s chasing is not fun. I tried to use the energy retention to my advantage and all, but the plane is so weak I get hit once and control surfaces are crap. You make it look ridiculously easy.
The Ta152 is decently sturdy imo. Using ER advantage isn't that simple either, I really didn't like the Ta152H the first few times I flew it.
I might make it look easy but I also have a lot of practice!
