Hey guys, We're looking at a Kurt Tank Design tonight, i love that guy ;) The Fw 190 F-8, a plane with a lot of versatility, is a plane that i really enjoyed. and i hope you do too. Dont forget to like, comment, share and subscribe for more! Have a great day! :)
welcome back Jengar!
Thanks Keo!
Its a decent bird. I aint a huge fan of the FW-190's, but this was one of my favourite variants. Its versatility was great to have if someone runway/space camped.
agreed :)
IMHO 190sA needs some buffes in climb, acceleration and energy retention. In reality they could compete with an mk9 in climb, acceleration and vertical energy retention. Lots of people complain about atom's turn time, but above 420km/h with take off flaps (20 degrees) they can keep up with a mk9: the divergence between in game and real life is that in real life the high acceleration / maneuvering energy retention helped them not loosing a lot of speed and gave them the time to get a shot. If with those buffes atoms would be OP just increase their br. Put the A4 to 4.7, the A5 to 5.0 and remove the air spawn from the A8. (with this comment i don't say that now they aren't good at their br, i'm just saying that is un historical that a fw190a has worse energy retention/ acceleration /climb / sustained turn time than a corsair or a thunderbolt.)
yeah, agreed! they dont say for nothing the battle of britain would have fallen the other way if germany had the 190 availeble. Which would have been possible had the project been pushed a bit.
@@jengar6258 yeah. It was not pushed since it was supposed to be a fighter good but not as capable as the 190e... in reality German officers were surpriesed by 190's capabilities. The 109 was able to get performance on par with the 190A4 (1941) only with the F4/G2 1942 planes, and eventually get the advantage in 1944 with g14s, g10s and k4s... only because in 1944 the 190s were not upgraded since the ta-152 was in development.
Spitfires got performance comparable with the fw190 only by late 1942, with mk9s with the merlin 61.
If the fw190s was ready not by early 1941s but by september 1940 the Luftwaffe would have had a fighter, better performance apart, much better suited for escorting mission. The fw190a had better visibility, so it could spot incoming spitfires mk1/hurricanes earlier, usually when engaged fighter that were escorting bombers in ww2 had less energy than fighters on the defensive, so a plane that can survive some hits at first is well appreciated. IMHO the 109 shined with performance only from 1943, were it showed his capabilities in the role of an interceptor, with his excellent performance and low autonomy. In the early war it had tons of success because other countries fighters sucked in comparison, but still the German fighter wasn't used on it's strengths/at full potential.
Was LF MK9 as op in real life? My research indicates it was operational in late 1943 (Merlin 66) and at the time if performance was like in game no german fighter would be a treat
I agree the flightmodel of fw 190 a's are incorrect
How's things does my man ? Hope u doin well ! Finally this underrated F-8, and one of my fav CAS with 1000 kg ! Great vid. Man and Welcome back !
Im good Zaf, thanks! and yeah, its a good aircraft :)
Agree! I use this all the time in ground RB. Bomb can be deveststing, and it's great for clearing out enemy air
How are the pb2 rockets?
I enjoyed grinding for all the skins for this plane. Theyre some of the nicest looking skins in the game in my opinion. Gotta have those style points!
absolutely :)
Style points give +1 damage, and +1 charisma.
would be nice indeed!
10:00 NUT
Boom indeed!
This is the only plane in Sim mode I managed to bring home missing BOTH wingtips after an unfortunate meeting with a spit. I wasn't giving it 2 cents against the A5/U2 but had to reconsider myself. Incredible machine, also it's slower on paper but I noticed it actually accelerates faster at low altitudes than the A5s, this explains the slightly better climbrate.
Also it has cool skins, +100 points
Skins are nice, agreed! :)
Welcome back Jengar! Glad to see you are still live n kicking
Thanks Michael! Good to be back :)
Hey jengar, it would be nice to have a review on the yak 9u. So happy you’re back
i'll put it on my to do list!
Jengar thanks man, appreciate
np!
Man glad to see you back
Cheers mate! :)
Perfect timing i just got my fw190 f8
nice1 :)
Just so great to see you making content. I was watching your video on the Spitfire Mk. 22 lunchtime (in the pub) and now I can watch new Jengar content in bed in the Evening. Now that is a good day. Very best wishes to you and yours.
Thanks mate, glad to be back. And ty for asking after the family, doing well atm! :)
Love the spiral in the propeller. Wish it could be added to more planes because some you can't like the ki-44. You can put it in the skin but it doesn't work when it is spinning. Great to see you back jengar. Love the fw 190.
cheers mate! its a great skin indeed!
Wow, that is old footage ;)
Patch 1.87.1.117 was "active" between May 17th and 23rd 2019. Lot changed since then
But good to have you back, Jengar
only the 2nd match, 1st match is from this patch.
Happy to see that you are getting back into youtube again and knowing you are well because you were out for 5 months before this video. I am recommending going over some planes that had a br change or that a plane was moved into a spot where it is clubbing other players. Keep up the good work!
cheers mate, and will do!
About to get this, didn't know it's such a big upgrade from the A8, considering the max speed you can pull off in a dive.
I was originally focused on getting the Horten first, but i might get this first instead.
Like both the Fw190-s and the Ho229. (played a lot against the latter too, such a misused plane)
The return of the king
Cheers Felix!
Jengar you’re welcome my dude your content is great. Also pls do a video on a low rank Russian aircraft, I’m grinding out russia at the moment.
i'll consider that mate!
Thanks dude. You are amazing.. keep it up
I love to see you back Jen! There are so many new planes you may do videos about!!!
cheers mate, and yeah indeed! plenty of work to do :)
@@jengar6258 Can I request if that the first video of the new 1.97 update can be a video of my love (A-4B Skyhawk) pleeeeaseeee???
hey jeng, nice to see you making videos again
ty sir!
Oh yeah it feels good to see you back Jengar ! I hopes you are fine and your relatives too !
Nice to see the sqad boys on screen too ! I miss flying with you guys !
Take care of you all !
Cheers mate, and indeed, good to be back! feel free to come back and fly with us again ;)
@@jengar6258 i sur would if i had enough time these days, working all week far from home and using my week-ends to take care of my familly...and you know how important it is !
absolutely ;) First things first!
(curiosidade) kurt tank no final da segunda guerra foi para Argentina, e ajudou no desenvolvimento do caça a jato Pulqui 2 e também em alguns projetos e conceitos de aviões (se suspeita que até que aviões supersônicos foram desenhados). Depois foi para a Índia, onde colaborou no desenvolvimento do Marut
No comprendo nick!
Hey great to have you back mate. I hope you're having a good day.
definitely, ty sir! :)
f f AGAIN?
Iv'e seen you on so many channels now
Good seeing Jengar , hope all is well with the Family , be safe in the skies The Texas Gent
Cheers Texas!
Problem of FW-190 F-8 and A-8 is they fighting against ultra fighters like F4U on BR 5.7 which is not ideal in my opinion. Meanwhile something like P-51 D30 still sitting on 5.0 when it deserve at least 5.3 or 5.7
agreed!
Welcome back Jengar, I'm preparing to enjoy more of your videos. De groeten aan Peter hopelijk gaat het goed met hem :)
chaars mate! Dank, hij is okay op het moment.
*cheers
Very helpful review! Always wondered how good this bird was and if it was worth researching but now I think ill give it a shot. Great video as well!
Thanks mate, and yeah, definitely worth a try :)
Welcome back
Thanks mate!
I reckon the a8 is the better of the two. At 5.0, nobody takes them seriously. There is nothing quite as funny as luring a cocky Griffon into scissors and making them dissolve with 4 x 20mms
yeah true :)
Agreed
FW190 that gets an air spawn! Who would have known! Two 20mm cannons are enough, as long as they are the German ones as usual.
they are! :)
As soon as I've finished researching the CL-13B Mk6 I'm grinding out the Fw's. I'd love to get back into props and these seem like the perfect aircraft!
will be very worth your time :)
Great vids as always man. Nice and chill to watch and showcases vehicles really nicely :)
ty sir!
Nice, great to have your content part of my weekly listening diet
Good to hear! :)
I am glad to see you back on youtube.
thank you mate!
Nice one. Definitely a great FW.
Hey, I suggest you try the Br. 693 added to the French tech tree a couple months ago. It's a beast at its br, with insane turnrate, good acceleration and speed, good firepower (as long as you don't mind having your aim a little lower than usual) and good tanking capabilities.
cool, i missed that one, i'll look into it ;)
Very nice to hear you again. Greetings from Poland.
Greetings back from the mystical land of hollandia!
Thanks Jengar - for the control stiffening data - that is so hard to find but, so critical to know, unless you like being a lawn dart. ;-)
Oh - and the FW 190 F-8 is by far my favorite FW-190 as it's so flexible to tailor to the map/situation that you get in any battle type.
You're welcome Bill!
10:00 ow
explosions! ;)
My fav German CAS for ground RB all the way up to 6.7
can imagine it can fill a role there.
Ieeey you are back !!!
indeed! :)
One of my favourite FW-190s, definitely my top 3 (among A5/12 and D-13).
FW-190 is generally my favourite plane both in the game and irl.
But I prefer stealth ammo, works really well.
agreed, stealth is great, but im just back in business, im still warming on getting back in shape, stealth will be back ;)
My favourite 190 is the d9... I took it into 9.0 battles ones with my friend in the me 163 b-0 and got 3 kills. Pretty funny to see the enemies reaction to that!
@@Suo_kongque For jet hunting i prefer D-13 by a lot. 20mm instead of two 13mms is a great deal.
5:12 I would have stole that kill hahaha
we all have our moments ;)
Great job on the review. I really wish Gaijin would quit messing with the elevator authority on the 190 series. They've been under performing for quite some time now (after over performing somewhat) and it's getting tiresome waiting for the proper flight model. Has this changed yet IYO ? I really miss flying the D 9 because of this.
Cheers mate, i do want to look at the D-9 again. I was aware of the fix, but not of the nerf after the fix. thats not good ;)
@@jengar6258 thanks for the reply Jengar. I look forward to your revisit of the D 9 in the future. Welcome back BTW. I hope everything is good with the family and yourself of course.
it is mate, thanks for asking!

- soap bubble
yup :)
Hello Jengar, so happy you're back. It would be really nice if you reviewed the j21 a-1.
its on the way! :)
Have you considered playing IL-2? I haven't played it myself yet, because I am saving up to buy a decent gaming monitor and a Track-IR, but I have watched many videos lately and I have to say, ever since, I feel no desire to ever play War Thunder again.
Those planes and air combat seem so much more fun and more rewarding in a good simulation. The mere fact alone that damage models and the effects of weapons are simulated realistically, makes such a huge difference. Seeing a hit from a 30mm Mienengeschoss just rip fighters apart is so satisfying. Even the German 13mm guns are devastating, which is really weird to someone like me, who only knows them as the useless, harmless tracer dispensers they are in WT.
I also started understanding so much more about air combat and the strengths and weaknesses of certain planes, since looking into IL-2.
For example, in WT I never really could figure out how to use the Typhoon and the Tempest properly. They aren't good turn fighters, they aren't great energy fighters, they aren't great boom and zoomers. Basically, the only thing they do well is fly fast in a straight line and that just isn't worth much in the WT Meta. Accordingly you always see Typhoon players go for the easy kill on some attacker at the beginning of the match and then just die themselves.
In IL-2 that high speed in a straight line is actually really useful and you start to understand what the point of those planes was in reality.
Like 4 out of 5 kills in IL-2 are people sneaking up on a target that didn't see them, creep close from the Low 6 and blast them at close range. It is all about situational awareness, checking your 6 and not letting anyone sneak up on you.
And the Tempest is really good at that. The high level flight speed is super useful for getting into those sneaky Low 6 positions before the other guy notices you and then just tear him to pieces with your 4 Hispanos at a range of 300 meters or so.
Other big differences are stuff like that German fighters have no silly overheating problems, like in WT, which is totally unrealistic, because the method they used to boost their engine power, the "MW-50" water injection, actually not only gave them more power, but it also cooled the engine down. So even if you don't need extra power, but want to cool your engine down because your radiator is damaged, or something, you could use MW-50 for that.
Meaning, if War Thunder were realistic, German fighters would actually cool down when using "WEP", instead of overheating as they do.
Another thing that is really weird to WT players is how in IL-2 the Bf 109 K-4 is a real monster that can play cat and mouse with P-47s, Spitfires and Mustangs, when flown correctly.
Every plane in IL-2 really has their own strengths and weaknesses and whether it is balanced or OP is only determined by how smart the pilot using it is.
A pilot who knows what he is doing can make every plane OP and the game works without any dumb, unrealistic counters being introduced.
Planes only fight other planes they actually met in reality. Nobody has to fight post war UFOs in wartime fighters and Korea War planes aren't used to "balance" WW2 fighters.
Even the Me 262 fighting P-51 Ds and P-38s works and doesn't ruin the balancing, because people in the game do the same thing real pilots in real history did, they attack the Me 262 when it is vulnerable during start and landing. Landing that thing is a real challenge and takes a long time and careful planning, since it is pretty much impossible to spool up the turbines again, once you slowed them down.
When IL-2 brings us a M&K realistic mode then i will consider trying it, and in my opinion, only when that happens, will Il-2 become a true competitor to WT.
@@jengar6258 I don't really look at it from a competition perspective.
The two are not the same genre. IL-2 is not a "Arena Shooter" type of game, it is a simulation with a multiplayer mode.
I look at it from a "what is more fun?" perspective.
The question is just, what brought you to WT?
Was it just the prospect of measuring yourself against other players in an Arena type of game, or was it that you are into WW2 military aircraft?
If it is the latter, then you'll probably have more fun with IL-2 than you ever did with WT, because WT sacrifices and compromises so much of what makes WW2 air combat interesting and fun, to cram it into the Arena Shooter genre.
IL-2 doesn't need to do that, being a simulation. There is no grind, no artificial balancing, no nerfing or buffing...
The maybe biggest difference and biggest boon for IL-2 is just the fact that there is no time limit.
In WT you always have the problem that you can't fly certain aircraft as they are supposed to be flown, because you don't have the time.
If you want to set up properly for Boom and Zoom attacks in a slow climber like the FW 190, you usually run into the problem that the battle is pretty much over at the time you get into position. And then, even if you have the time and the targets to do 2 or 3 dive attacks, they inevitably see you coming.
In IL-2 the only thing that limits you is how much fuel you have in the tank and maybe whether you still can see your targets when it gets dark.
You have all the time in the world to set up proper attacks and execute them and you even have the time to do the "Zooming" after the "Booming", meaning, you can actually extend away and set up the next attack without running out of time or map.
Long story short, if you are in it for the planes and/or for the immersion, IL-2 just gives you so much more.
If you are not in it for the planes, then the whole discussion is kind of moot anyways and the question is why you don't play any other Arena Shooter game over WT?
To be honest, I'm not even sure what you mean with "M&K realistic mode".
What I can tell you is that IL-2 has a persistent battle mode, where 2 teams with alternating players (people logging in and out as they please) fight each other till one team has destroyed enough of the other teams ground targets and depending on how the server is set up, that can take hours, days, or in theory even weeks.
And even when you play as a ground attacker or bomber, hunting moving trains with realistic damage models, or taking out factories building by building, or hunting for hard to spot tanks and other vehicles that hide in forests is definitely more fun than just dropping bombs on orange markers on the map, as you do in WT.
Just check out the videos on a channel called "Sheriff's Sim Shack" and tell me that doesn't look more fun than WT. I dare you, hehe.
M&K = Mouse and Keyboard. Im not a sim player, i dont have a joystick setup. I enjoy the history of ww2, the planes, and the feeling of flying WT gives, while being easy to jump in. So if IL-2 will get a mode like realistic battle in WT, with M&K. Only then will i look at it ;)
@@jengar6258 I haven't been a simulation player either, till now. As I said, I am still saving up to get a better monitor and Track-IR before I can really get into it.
I also just have a rather cheap joystick and don't intend to buy rudder pedals anytime soon. The twist-axis of the joystick is enough for a beginner like me.
To each their own, but because I like the flying aspect, I want more immersion and realism. I don't think you really get a feeling of flying from playing WT in RB mode. At best you get a feeling of holding a aircraft toy or model in your hand and imagining flying it, while making "bbbrrrrrr" noises with your mouth, hehehe.
You're a good pilot in WT. You had your "easy to jump in"-thing and you mastered it. What speaks against taking the next step?
It is like the difference between sitting in your garden behind your house and going camping. Bigger investment, higher reward, more fun, more sense of achievement.
And apparently IL-2 isn't actually that hard to get into. You just need to know a few basic things about your plane and how to manage it and that is part of the immersion, which is where the fun comes from.
I haven't played a serious flightsim yet, but I have played other games with complicated controls, like some submarine sims or stuff like Elite Dangerous. From experience I know that one just soaks up the complicated controls after a day or so, if your're having fun. On the second day most of it comes naturally and automatically already.
Although I sound like it, I'm not actually trying to talk you into it, if you don't want it. Just explaining my reasons for wanting to make the plunge and why I have a hard time understanding your total lack of interest.
Welcome back!
ty mate!
Not the best 190 but not the worst to me.The D9 is better overall cause its faster and it has the same guns as this one. If not that id use the A8 more cause of the firepower. But its always an amazing video
ty sir! o7
I very recently discovered your channel, and love it. I would classify myself as a very casual player who until recently only played AB. I used to play IL-2 online many years ago (pre 2011), but the game died out slowly and the community got very small. Anyway, I had never really played much RB because I keep trying to get my joystick to work, and that was a complete fail. I started playing a lot of WT about two years ago after getting tired of WoT. Even though I have lots of games in WT, I still don’t understand why certain things about the game, like what exactly are the differences between AB and RB, and how realistic the flight models are. I have tried repeatedly to get my old IL-2 Squadron mates to play WT, but they do not like the mouse control system, and I have tried to explain it is not bad, but they want to use a joystick, which I tell them it will be a huge disadvantage if they do, what when they see I am right they are not interested in WT. Maybe do a video on how the game works as you understand it.
Thats a very broad video, there's so much content in here that i dont play: Tanks, ships, helicopters. But i'll think about it for air.
Nice
ty sir!

Hi Jengar (and audience), what are your favorite German 13mm belts?
air targets and stealth.
this and the A-5/U-2 (the one with 2x20mm) are my favourite 190s, forgot to mention that you can also wep these things indefinitely :)
yeah, the U-2 is my favorite as well :)
@@jengar6258 good to see you back in fighting shape :)
Getting there :) slowly but surely.
Jengar, long time no seen! How about a video on the Ki-200 next? I just unlocked it and i really like it, whilst it suffers from stock syndrome.
Cheers mate, ki-200 is on my to do list, but it doesnt have top priority atm, im still warming up here, ki-200 and other jets will come later.
Jengar
Given how short Ki matches are, might be worth a quick unrecorded match in it then, or something like that
Great Vid as always! - thanks and welcome back, Jengar! As I can see you have mostly a ping of 10 to 20. Please tell me your experience when it goes over 100 (as I have always). Does it impact your shooting? I have severe probs to get guns working then ... Greets
I know high ping affects larger cannons more substantially than mg's like 50cals. When your ping is high, switch over to a plane with mg's instead, and I would bet you'll have better luck.
10 much better then 100 of course, but i feel its still doable at 100. At 150-200 it becomes really annoying.

Heyho, I have a question.
Which one is the better fighter - the 190 A-5 or the 190 F-8 ?
Why are the P-47s on the enemy team so useless
because the average P-47 pilot doesnt climb like they should ;)
How is the elevator on this one? This is one of the Antons I have kind of over looked. What fuel load do you run on it? Glad to see you back!
20min fuel load, the elevator didnt feel better to me then on any other anton.
Can you play J6k1 , it realy is a wonderful fighter
i dont have it, will put it on the to do list, but i'll have to request it from gaijin ;)
This is my number 2 favourite plane. Number 1 is the zero for me.
love the zero's :)
A video on the spitfire mk 24 would be nice, you haven’t done a video on that craft in a while now
i do have a vid up on that, has any changes been made to it to warrent a revisit?
Jengar not that I know of, just want to see more content from a good content creator and a good craft : )
fair enough chris, its on a long to do list, but it wont get a big priority, could take a long time before i get around to it.

Hi Jengar, happy to see you back. Just have a look here about the FW190 engine and how it was fan cooled (two nice pictures): aviadrix.blogspot.com/2012/04/moteurs-en-etoile-refroidissement-par.html, K. Tank also do "simple things" to fix heavy problems :-)
gotta love that man ;)
Is a good feeling to see you back. I´ve learned a lot with your videos and i´m very grateful for this.
You, Van Sinn, Messer Smitt and Long5hot inspired and teached me how to be a good player. Now i have my own channel in portuguese language to teach and help newcomers and also try to bring more players to this complicated but fascinating game, despite Gaijin´s arrogance and lots of problems and bugs.
I feel we are part of a family and also good friends. Greetings from Brazil!

I would agree with Walter there ;)
OK, thx for advice
What about the a6m5 ko?
@@ryanchan2302 if you hate yourself enough, go for it.
In the fighter role the A8 appears to be better in speed, turning, climbing and armament and it gets the airstart as well - so I never bothered with this guy.
its not that much better tbh.
Guns yes, turn time and climb rate im not so sure about that plus the A8 has an airstart now too
