Relaxing match for a heavy fighter. I usually dislike heavy fighters, but the Hornet is okay. Requested by a subscriber.

Poor goggleye. He's like the only guy on his worried about altitude superiority, and for his trouble he got deleted first.
Haha I do feel bad.
@@AdamTheEnginerd don't text while driving I guess
I was just about to suggest the hornets up high were why nobody else was investing all their energy into altitude ;P
poor guy
Those sparks on the last ennemy, damn, was beautiful
Artistic ;).
If there is one thing in this world that I enjoy it has to be your videos
Wow thanks man! Glad you like them!
Elias Avila same........ and probaly 1000000 more youtubers out there but i gotta put number 1 for adam (war thunder teaching community (thats how i call teachers for war thunder XP))
Don't ever stop making videos man .... please
Hell yeah
New video every Friday!
Great video and terrific work by Bob. Very good squadmate to have.
Couldn't agree more ;).
Oh yes the hornet, probably my favorite prop fighter
Oof certainly not my fav.
@@AdamTheEnginerd yeah the bad turn and rudder compression at high speeds certainly are irritating, but it's speed and climb are so fun (for me at least)
About that, what's your favorite plane Adam ?
F4U4B.
Don`t run from hornets? but how else do i reach the base?
Lmao a running turn?
Good ol cancer rolls.
This is great I love ur vids and they have that unique style of the text on the side!!
Keep it up :)
Thanks man! I will!
Put some sauce on it!!!!
Lmao some sweet Hispano sauce.
Raw sauce
Hi Adam, love the vids as they are extremely helpful and great game plays to watch. I was wondering if you could do a series of you just playing your favorite plane for each nation. No format change or anything. Just you enjoying yourself and letting us know why you love the plane. Keep it up!
Thanks man!
Sounds like a good idea! I'll probably start that series off with the Tempest Mk V.
minombreesbob translates to mynameisbob
Mr. Worldwide.
That tk tho.
He deserved it.
Love your videos Adam
Thanks mate!
Nice tip on the bomber attack method about the 5-7 o clock attack angle ill try that next time i play :)
It's a useful one!
Man, you should try the P-61C! On turn fights, the gunner can take the foes, If you have enough crew points. And It turns +/- like a Thunderbolt.
Ehh, it will be featured in a video!
Alessandro Borges it turns way worse at any speed than a thunderbolt..
Can't wait to see what this thing can do with the flight model of an actual Hornet. Currently it doesn't really feel like the aircraft Eric Brown (who flew just about every aircraft the RAF and Luftwaffe fielded during the war) named as his favorite. I mean, honestly, the guy flew 14 versions of the Spitfire, and the Hornet was his favorite piston-engine plane!
I dunno, the way we fly in WT is different from real life. With mouse every maneuver that doesn't use gradual mouse movements is conducted at max angle of attack, right before the stall, and that's something that simply wasn't done in real life. Also, stability is a big factor in pilot appreciation of an aircraft, as is pretty important to actually aim once you maneuver onto an enemy's 6, and that's something that isn't featured in RB WT.
He probably liked the power on the Hornet lol.
Oh yeah. He loved the power. He'd sometimes do aerobatics with just one engine, lol.
I feel that K4 pilot. However, he wasn't paying attention to his surroundings and did not adapt to the situation properly. From the altitude you were engaging him I get the impression he did not give a good example in climbing as well.
I guess I'll take it back then. Good game, Adam.
Adam, I’ve started to play again, after a few years of not playing the game. Could you make a video explaining the manual engine controls in rb? I notice you are on WEP almost the whole time, but fiddling with your prop pitch and radiator doors. I love that kind of stuff!
I love that kind of stuff too!
I'll do a video on that eventually, but to start there are tutorials on CZcams that do a decent job at explaining MEC, you should start with that.
Love the last bit, bin ya mate of at the end lmao 😂
He deserved it!
Hahaha they always do lol 😂
Like victory isn't enough.
I love this plane so much
Haha ehh it's good for a heavy fighter.
Bomber maneuverability😂
With bombload.
I saw some documents said the Hornet is very maneuverable, but idk if it’s true.
It had a lot of power, apparently it flies very well with only 1 engine.
This gives murder hornet a new meaning.
Lol yeah, good reference.
Thanks for posting solid evidence of the gimped elevator pull of the Hornet. You only have, at most, 50% of pulling up authority available to you which kills this aircraft and why I have yet to even fly it.
Yes pushing down on the elevator is pretty much as effective as pulling up in this aircraft because of the gimped elevator and it has been this way since the aircraft got launched. There are other aircraft with I think the same problem in game too and thus I have yet to fly those. Don't know why Giajin did this.
Is it necessarily a problem? In symmetric airfoils you would find this for example.
Considering that it is at all speeds and it is artificially restricting how far you can pull the elevator I would say so since in reality you should, and would, have more elevator pull.
The wing loading is massive on the Hornet, like a jet, that's why it pulls similar to a jet.
To add on the instructor can briefly pull more elevator than you can as a player. Push the nose down heavily into a high negative G maneuver without moving the cursor and then let go and the instructor will use more elevator than you possibly can to pull you back to the cursor even though you should have the ability to pull as much.
There isn't any reason to be artificially and a historically restricting the elevator of this aircraft in the way that Gaijin is.
Gaijin also ahistorically restricted the available pull to the player which also goes into that. You should have more than you do and the instructor can briefly use the bit more available on occasion.
nice
Thanks!
Very nicely done Adam. Not trying to downplay your performance in any way, but some of your opponents in that match were...well....
Haha asleep?
Something like that :D
Haha no worries, like I said it was a relaxing game, nothing too intense.
dont forget to add that only a few planes can keep up with it in a rope a dope
or stalls
Hmm if it starts with the energy advantage sure.
Nice video Adam, would you make a spitfire mk24 video sometime? i feel like the plane is nerfed recently, and i would like to know your opnion about it, if its still worth using that plane, because i love how it looks xD
Thanks!
I'll try to. My opinion right now is that the Spitfire Mk 22 is a better deal because it has similar performance while seeing half as many jet games as the Mk 24.
Curtiss SB2C Helldiver.
Lol I'll try, never flown it.
After 1.77 - imba.
B1ll, +
Yeah, I like this
Same ;).
Nice accuracy Adam. I feel like aiming always using zoom for close engaments is a bad habit, because it blocks your view.
Thanks! Yeah it's a had habit.
10:14 Don't run from Hornets, turn instead. What if I clap it with my hands and get it?
Also, right now in WT, would you pick the A2D-Skyshark or the Spitfire Mk. 24 as a 6.7 fighter?
A2D, mainly because of airspawn.
You are to good at this game. Could you do the P-38l-5-LO next please...because P-38 roll rate.
Haha thanks! Practice and knowledge ;).
I can try, heavy fighters are really not my forte though.
Them sparkels though
Yeet.
Bruh. Ahahahha didn't think you'd do it lol. Thanks
Haha of course! How could you doubt me??
Adam514 Wanna play a Stock Hunter For the next Play request. I'll happily wait in queue. I find it really hard to deal with CL 13s. CL 13 is better in every way. Could you play a game and give some helpful tips? Other than buying the upgrades lol. Thanks, Have a Good one, and thanks for the Video :D.
I used to be pretty good in the Hunter. It's on my list!
I agree CL is better now.
You aim man, just muah :P Where do you find these german teams who are hugging the ground? Whenever I play allies they are always above me.
Haha happens from time to time, especially with Allied ground pounders and greedy Axis.
All custom battles an Adam tells ppl to play low 😋
Hey, Do you have any recommendations for an android phone app. Ww2 flight sim similar to this?? Obviously it wont be as elaborate than this, but fun to play with decent controls?? Jim
Nope I don't play mobile games. I'm sure there are some that are decent.
Release the Killer Hornets! And the Jive Turkeys from the North!
Haha!
Hey Adam, do you use vertical targeting. and whats your opinion on it? Cheers
I've never used it.
I have a question I can't find an answer for:
When using vertical targeting, the guns are aiming up slightly, to make the shells meet the aiming reticle at the set distance.
If I roll 90 degrees to the left for example, will my guns shoot slightly to the left (rolling 180 degrees, upside down, guns shooting down slightly and so on )
or will they still shoot up slightly like when the plane didn't roll?
(I hope my grammar was correct, not native speaker)
Thank you ^^
I've never used V targeting so I don't know. But, my guess is that it works regardless of your rotation.
never used it either because of this doubt :P
Bye and ty
Great detailing of every steps good video.... Can u try the p-63 and can u check that there is a bug in the engine injection module.
Thanks!
What do you mean by bug?
Adam514 while i play with p-63a-10 there is no improvement in engine when the engine injection module is installed.Its like there is no improvement, the plane remains the same whether u install the engine injection module or not
Part of it might be because it causes a higher fuel consumption, so 20 min fuel without engine injection is less weight than with engine injection.
Best test would be max speed in a straight line with and without engine injection to see if there's a difference.
Adam514 ok i will try it also there is no improvement in figures shown in the statcards with/without the module installed.
Statcard is never accurate anyway. But if you hover over the module and there is no improvement, perhaps it hasn't been implemented yet.
can you fly either the p-38J or L? i find them to be slightly overlooked in favour of the p-47s and p-51s
I can try, but I dislike heavy fighters such as the P38s, can't guarantee much.
Also, I've played against minombreesbob many times over the years, he's an excellent pilot.
I agree! You must have good memory too!
It's easy to remember the scariest ones!
Hahaha!
First kill shit that was some fireworks whats up with thos big sparks!?
dude at 4:10 did uninstall
It's one of the old options where everything is brighter.
Hahaha maybe!
@Adam514 pls tell me what fuel mixture u are using on the Hornet.. im flying it rn and want to get best preformance ;-;
I leave it at 60%, it's not really modeled on most planes.
Adam514 oh okay thx then for info c:
Have you ever done a video on the MB-5
I have not, but it's on my list!
@@AdamTheEnginerd great looking forward to that one. Recently bought it and it's a struggle bus. Cannot seem to get comfortable with it.
i hate when it takes me 7 shots on the enemie with mks like you with ur last kill. Its very frustrating especially when it gets stolen or you get killed from another enemie just because it took you soo long.
Understandable.
Nice video! Can you do a video with the hunter please? I will love it
Thanks!
I can try, I'm no top tier pro.
Hahaha
Nice
Thanks!
3:15 or does it pull positive G’s as badly as it pulls negative G’s?
Haha that works too.
Wot no P47 wonder single shots that cut your plane in two.
Gotta dodge.
back when hispanos mk5s used to work
Haven't really been changed since this video. 4 in the nose of any 20mm is at least decent.
@@AdamTheEnginerd i really felt the good performance of the hispanos in that video
Adam can you take out the 109K4 because I always get clubbed by P47M's and Spitfire LF. Mk IXc's?
Yes sir!
cheers dude
He’s a monster in every plane
Perhaps ;).
11:23 i do that to everything in front of me when the math ends. got that from you :)
Good!
Does a tutorial about manual settings of the engine already exists?
Yeah on CZcams. I haven't done one yet.
This would be great !! :)
Did everyone on the high br team forgot about boom n zoom?? Or is it me.....
Matches like these happen pretty often when your team has lots of ground pounders. The Germans overreacted by sending essentially all their fighters to kill the ground pounders before they lost by tickets, if a couple more had continued to climb it might have been a different match.
Can you do a F-80C 5-kill video please, just to challenge the impossible
Lol I doubt I'd be able to.
Adam514 I have faith in you :)
Haha ish.
Adam514 you could get many kills in AD-2, I think you can do that as well :)
Very nice! I'm a new sub, and it hurts me to hear you complain about low-mount nose guns in a match where you pick up 6 kills in about 10 minutes.
Hahaha my apologies! I had prior experience with the Hornet before this game and that's where I had a few issues with the low mounted guns. In this match they simply made me use a bit more ammo, nothing major.
I'm more concerned with the 6 kills in ten minutes!
Comes with experience!
what mixture did you put the hornet on? 60%?
Can leave it on 60%, doesn't matter on that plane.
it has 2 merlin engine, but why the sounds like griffon?
Hmm didn't notice it sounded like a Griffon.
Here's a question: even though the hornet has a 2km airspawn and an excellent climbrate guaranteed to give it a 1 km altitude advantage over anything it faces, is it still worse than most single-engine props at that BR?
It just can't 1v1 stuff. It's only effective when it still has teammates for baits and to collect baits.
@@AdamTheEnginerd Not a problem for me, then. I'm bad enough that I can't reliably 1v1 stuff anyway. BnZ is the only thing I feel competent to do.
1vs1 has its place too though, you won't always have the energy advantage over the enemies.
@@AdamTheEnginerd Well, after having spent several hours grinding to the hornet, I must agree with you. It's nice to have a starting energy advantage, but eventually you'll end up with a 109 on your ass that you can't out turn and you can't dive away from.
Yup, and that's when you need teammates.
Why'd u make radiators 0 at 10:07 and holy sparks
To go faster and catch him.
In the spirit of heavy fighters can you use the Ki-83 one day?
I'll try to!
Adam514 yes plz make a video for ki83
Just unlocked it!
Adam514 Nice
How long have you been playing this game?
4 years or so.
k4 next
It's going to come up eventually!
I hate this thing when playing as a german, not because of the threat but how long it takes to take one down because most of the players are just flying high and feel superior just because they are higher then you and then they are not attacking you...
Yeah and they know they can't maneuver well enough to hit you.
That was air targets? Looked a lot like stealth to me
Air targets used to not have tracers on Hispanos.
Was Bob stock? Or was he just using uni belt?
Stock, he'd use Air Targets if he weren't stock.
He thought so haha. I was like no freaking way Bob is using uni. He's gotta be stock haha
For Hispanos stealth/air targets are clearly the best,
Also this is my favorite brit plane. It's so fast at high altitude. Nothing catches you
It's fast at all altitudes, only the F8FB can catch you at low altitude and the Ta152H at high altitude.
Tempest is better though.
How do you see the bullets like that
Used to be in post FX settings, can't get it like this anymore I think.
@@AdamTheEnginerd It's a pitty, like that way you could see easier the type of belt. Im improving a lot watching your vids, I am owm to watch all of them, keep te great work!
@@javierramos5166 Thanks for the support!
Why are you doing all these Immelmanns?
To win the match?
@@AdamTheEnginerd Can you tell me why you do these huge vertical maneuvers?
They are huge because the turn radius on the Hornet is huge.
No I mean why are you doing verticals? Is it more efficient than a horizontal turn?
Kinda, and you complete them faster in general.
Minombreesbob is spanish?
He wishes, but no.
@@AdamTheEnginerd because is written in spanish and im spanish
Ps: Amazing video
Thanks!
New game mechanic has made sure that the days of game carrying might be over
Hmm maybe.
Sucks that Germans are overtired from the way their aircraft preforms, and don't get me started on fw190 elevators and bf109 fm
Yeah, but remember that Germans often have less attackers/bombers than the teams they face, so it compensates.
Adam514 it kind compensates but American bombers destroy German fighters due to 50 Cal's being op and that they auto pilot snipe even when 1.5 km away...
Once you know about it, it's not that bad. Got sniped a few times at 1.5km but I learned my lesson and now I kill bombers just like before the buff. Your approach is everything.
Not really. The aircraft are balanced. But mostly your team will consist of lvl 25 noobs that dont know how to fly a german plane vs. a allied team cosisting of lvl 100 players
Whats so bad about heavy fighters?
They have neither the top speed nor the maneuverability (never both roll and turn) of single-engined fighters, which relegates them to support rolls, which are only as effective as your team.
Adam514 do you think lowering their battle rating would make them more balanced? Or do you think they are balanced and supporting just isnt your playstyle? (Sorry for commenting on this old video btw)
Depends, some certainly deserve a BR reduction.
Indeed it's not my style, since I'm the one carrying the team and being relied upon, not the contrary. Heavy fighters aren't as effective for good pilots.
Adam514 alright, thank you for responding :)
My pleasure, thanks for commenting!
Your friend got nothing lol
He got the feeling of being good bait ;).
