#WarThunder
If you upgrade your pilot by right clicking on the plane in hanger, you can upgrade the g-tolerance and vitality to sustain more pilot damage
Max Cochran Also stamina so your pilot doesn’t get fatigued as quickly (the longer you play the fewer Gs he can take)
Also Russian pilots get a bit of stalinium so makes them resistant to 8 shots from the 88mm cannon
Guys, let me know if you find this type of "learning war thunder with me" series cool to watch?
p.s. you missed my last video and it's feeling lonely
Niccaman yes please lots of people would enjoy that
The p400 was in ww2 it was used at the battle of pearl harbor but only a few p400 type planes were up in the air because Japanese bombers bombed the airfields early and the pilots and others did not know about the attack because the Japanese bombers were flying at low altitude to stay out of the radar's range
I play a lot of war thunder you in the next video use the T34 tank and I love your videos
Plz do more dude! Ive been watching you for a while and to see you start playing one favourite games is so awesome!
I love it!
I think you need to attack at a higher altitude when you initially spot a bogey so you can dive bomb using your built up momentum to perform an arial flank and I don't actually know what I am talking about
Actually, the momentum from a dive allows you to mimic a pelican and it really helps spread the good word of your channel
Teach my to fly like a real pelican!
The tactic you used, or explained, is still BnZ (Boom and Zoom). But you just mean that BnZing is better at a higher altitude, which is correct. That's why in a P-400 (or American Aircraft, if the climb rate ain't great),
*Side Climb.* Basically, you need to head away from the battle and climb. But of course, your whole team may just be decimated. So you have to decide. I preferably Side Climb when flying higher tier, as the pilots are more competent, but lower tier? It depends. The P-400 is very fast (450km/h at the deck), so I don't usually side climb. But around tier III (like P-47D-28) I start to side climb. It's stupid not to. But Tier II I guess it's still fine to not side climb, it's still kinda forgiving.
You make great videos my upside down pelican
i love your vids mr pelican
Niccaman, consider using flaps (F button) to your advantage.
7 minutes into the video, you're in attempt to turn and maneuver that would've been made easier with Flaps set to Combat.
F sort of automatically chooses/toggles a setting for you, while the bracket buttons ] and [ let you cycle through all settings sequentially.
You generally raise flaps (disable them) when you need high speed and low drag, and enable them when you need to maneuver or if you're at low speed and need lift (landing, takeoff, turning).
combat flaps are very bad in this plane ! you usually keep pressed WEP and always are around 300-400 km/h. but flaps rips at 420 km/h. even the wiki of war thunder advises never to turn, better extending and avoiding dogfighting.
but usually yes you are completely right, flaps are very important
Roses are red
I have good ping
YOU HAVE A HOLE IN YOUR LEFT WING.
Wohoo! Really happy to see you in War Thunder!
Yes play more war thunder war thunder is my favorite game in the next video use a t34 tanks and i love your videos
Hold O-key in a match to see the inside of your vehicle.
With certain guns and suitable convergence, players can get kills at ranges of more than 1 mile (notably 50 cals at "No" convergence). Be alert whenever you're within a bit more than half a mile or so of enemies - they may be spraying stealth ammo.
About vehicle eras, WT has continually worked toward modern vehicles - right now the developers are so tunnel-visioned on adding more vehicles that they leave many bugs and problems untouched
You played rlly well against the ussr exploring there weakness with energy retention quick tip never engage a yak mig at low alt u will be destroyed keep up the good work love to see some more war thunder vids 👏👏
PLS DO MORE OF THIS STUFF DUDE :DDDD
not kidding, 10/10 best WT vid
9:35 yes nicca make this a series i Got 10.0 jets and tanks and i love watching your content Much love from Denmark ma nicca🙏✌️🤫🇩🇰
Pls use the P-39N-0 it's so much better at 3.0
He may not have it researched quite yet as its only researchable after the P400. But yes, the P39-N-0 is MUCH better.
@@CMDR_Osas i play it the same way as the P400 tbh, just get to 3000 meters no more than that (the P39s and P400s are low alt fighters and lose a lot of engine power at higher altittudes), charge straight into the enemy planes, and just energy fight your way out of there in a p400, in a p39 you can do either that or outturn them as you are fucking awesome at turning in the P39 compared to the 109s, and everything else, well you are much faster than other planes! Alternatively, and by me preffered, i go off to the side, around 7km away from ground targets, equipped with the M8 rockets, when i am side on 7k away from ground targets i head straight to the ground targets, use up my rockets and my 37mm ammo if there are tanks as I don't shoot the 37 at fighters unless i am really really close, and then start dogfighting.
5:40 you have a hole in your left wing
ATTACK THE B POINT
ATTACK THE D POINT
ATTACK THE A POINT
ATTACK THE C POINT
I REFUSE!
The P40, P400 and F2A are some of the best lower-tier American Planes. I’ve had a lot of fun with them
P-36 is certainly close to that level, despite it's poor stability at high speeds.
@@setesh1294 the P36 A has a really bad firepower but the P36 G is better I just unlocked it today
@@misteronsepatro7018 better? Its fucking gorgeous if you use stealth!
The F4F tho... Just wanna throw up the F2a does everything betrer than the F4F
Can you play with phly more nic?
Love to see that. He's a good teacher and it's always great to have a wingman.
More of these War Thunder videos Nic! Maybe with the Typhoon 1b against ground forces?
You played it right. That's one of my favorite planes and that br. I flew that plane alot in my early war thunder days. It's a great plane to practice boom and zoom to prepare for the upcoming plethora of boom zoomers ahead in that county. And yes that is a low to mid altitude fighter because control stiffness is an issue in high speed dives.
Would love to see more war thunder content man, keep it up!
Tbh u are using that plane in an excellent way, maybe u should climb a lil bit more but at low br that playstyle is more than perfect 👌🏻
Thanks man!!
If an enemy attacks you from the back, turn left at a 45 degree angle then turn right as much as possible, then start firing, you should use Tracer bulllets.the P-400 is pretty fast so you might outrun the enemy. I used this move before and destroyed the enemy in 2 seconds
You know its gonna be a good day when niccaman uploads!
Great to see new people playing! One tip I have is to try and fly farther away before turning around.
5:39 I'VE GOT A HOLE IN MY LEFT WING
btw yes pls make a series of this, thats some nice flying
You should definitely always zoom in while shooting. (RMB by default)
Also I’d love to see you fly the P-39, the A-20 or the B-25. The latter two are great fun since they’re both bombers with primary armaments.
Nicca
You gotta try the other rear engine planes p-39 and p-63 with the 37mm nose gun and show side climbing isn't the only option for the Americans
PS the p-400, p-39, and p-63 all turn into bricks above 4km due to not having turbo chargers
For a first timer you’re actually really good. One thing, flaps can help you turn, but you have to be careful. Too fast, they rip off and too slow they make you hard to control.
Yeah cutting your engine off when high altitude when safe can help manage fuel! Or if you want to also bleed speed
Nicca back at it again with grade a content
Try the p51 its a low tier monster
I just got a P-400 and watching your video makes sense and now I know how to handle a P-400
P-400 is the export version of the Bell P-39 Air Cobra. Powerful Allison V-12 engine but no turbocharger for high altitude performance. Army Airforce brass envisioned them performing ground attack against Japanese landing craft invading American soil. P-400 variant has a reliable 20mm cannon as opposed to the so so 37mm cannon on the P-39. High wing loading means it doesn't turn so well but has good energy retention and was one of the fastest fighters of its time. Never exceed speed: 525 mph (845 kph)!
I've found that it's easier to engage things with measurements set to metric, helps with guessing distances in modes like tank RB
A little tip. When diving from high up,try to shut off your engine throttle. It'll help you from overspeeding or compressing and the sound of your engine will be minimized,which means enemies can't hear you diving on them.
if you want to turn faster, use the F key for flaps, just make sure to press F again when you climb or straighten up to build up speed, there is 3 settings for flaps, press G wait for gears to drop, then F will give you landing flaps, another is just flaps and another is extended flaps, all do different things, play around with the flaps in the test flight to know what each planes capability is with height and speed. have fun, it may get you out of trouble ;-)
from what I know the P-400 works better towards the ground but will work higher up. its really up to whichever the user is more (comfortable) (must of spelled that wrong) with. and do make this a series, you should get alot of attention as war thunder is moving past supersonic jets now.
Best strat is diving and mimicking the bogey’s movements and when it starts to go up or down strafe it and it’ll go up into flames after that just leave it for a few seconds and it’ll lose it wings and fall towards the earth for an easy kill
I made my brother player this game he is a pilot in the RAF he said you did a good job of teaching people
This man just started and he is still flying better than me
Whether or not your plane is considered a "boom and zoom" fighter depends on what you're facing. For example, a P-40 facing a Zero should definitely stick to BnZ. However, a P-40 facing a FW 190 can bait the 190 into a turning fight. Air combat is extremely dynamic and complex, but as a GENERAL rule, If you are in a faster but less maneuverable than your opponent you should BnZ them and never give up your E-advantage. If you bleed your energy to the point where you cannot BnZ them anymore, or if you start off at a lower altitude than your opponent, then just run/dive away and "drag n bag" for your teammates. Usually the faster plane also has better dive acceleration and top speed in a dive.
You seemed top be mostly okay, all I can say is that you might want to be more versed in your planes capabilities, like their strong and weak points
Make it a series dude, this is great, hopefully DICE fix the BFV planes soon✌
Always use combat flaps (press F) while in close battle, take in mind that you can't loop with them tho.
The p-400 is really op if you use the flaps while turning and also it’s ridiculous op with all tracers
I would absolutely watch more of you playing War Thunder (y)
I don’t really have the time to learn war thunder properly... so you making videos would be fantastic because I absolutely love the game!
The p-400 is simply put as a p-39 with a 20 mm cannon insted of a 37 mm. The p-400 is honestly easier to use because the 20 mm has more ammo, and fires faster so you have more chances. The p-39 is meant to take out bombers however it cant fly high enough to attack them.
You're already doing really well. I think playing with people like PhlyDaily has really helped out, I can already see you being very calculating with your flying, such as going for a high yo-yo when turning with an enemy that is slower than you. however, a word of advice for when attacking larger two to four engined aircraft, aim for the wings, you'll end up taking them down faster.
I climb at 20° pitch, try it out it optimizes the fighters climb rate. (Press change view button to toggle HUD view)
Optimal climb is based off indicated airspeed, or IAS. At low altitudes that might be ~20 degrees, but as you climb you will have to gradually lower your nose to maintain that indicated airspeed.
Just starting in WT and at first i thought i was the one who was making the p-400 do slow manuevers, the i lookes it up and it was naturaly bad at turning. And i tried fighting a bf-109 with it, Almost raged quit.
Il 2 is a tough cookie to crack
When I see comments saying Niccaman yes play more WarThunder I just think if they've ever just had one of those moments where its like omfg this gaym sucks ugh.But deep down they know they love Warthunder so they just come back to play it anyways.Not gonna lie I do this too.I have alot of bad matches and its like well guess imma stop playing but I come back to it anyways.Warthunder just has this magnetic force.
the P400 is the export variant of the P-39 Airacobra with a 20mm nose cannon instead of the 37mm nose cannon
PLZ NEVER LEAVE WAR THUNDER we need more big youtubers the playerbase is so small due to lack of attention thank you for doing WT vids
Not really olayer base is actually quite good.
@@fireraid2336 its a cool community but for how of a gane it is and the fact that its free i feel that it deserves more players. Sometimes gaijin makes some bad moves but its a good game.
Good series idea dude, and an even better attitude
The P 63 C you will enjoy if you like the P400 (tier 3 bright yellow one in tech tree )
MORE WAR THUNDER !!!!!!!!!
Well the p-400 is a nice plane Nicca as your turning use your landing flaps and that will help you turn much sharper and get inside those easy zones lol. Thats how i use the 400 low alt energy fighter with the use of flaps its really good! Keep it up bro if you wanna team up im game or maybe make a squad of subscribers and see how that makes the game :D
Hey Nic, I love your content. Along with War Thunder. Please make a series on this.
Yes lets make this a series and possibly a few collabs with floppywobby daily
Go to March air museum and you will see both this plain and a P59A
grew up right near there, use to go all the time very awesome. Glad to see it has grown last time i went 2018
Tip: Bind low and high caliber guns to different mouse buttons to conserve your heavy caliber ammo until you get the kill shot
Also use flaps to turn faster.
We all dont gaming mouse that have more than two buttons
@@jordawolf no like left click and right click. i use a 2009 hp wired mouse because i dont need a gaming mouse.
@@nope5708 and what about zooming
For someone new in WT you fly pretty good
The P-400 was used in WW-2. It was the US version of this plane:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_P-39_Airacobra
A NEW CHALLENGER APPEARS ON THE WARTHUNDER FRONT
Yes I support this game if you play it we need more content for warthunder that isn't phly or slick (imo best two rn for WT)
8:26 welcome to Air RB
here’s a tip for the p400:if you see a p26, go take it down because those p26s die fast from p400 rounds
You seem to like boom-and-zoom planes, try the He-100, it's a German 1.7 prop with 5.0 performance!
Keep doing this niccaman
The issue I find with it is it lags horrendously while pulling the stick up, and loses a ton of speed in the process
yeah, most Americans are BnZ fighters, and the p-400 is a low alt fighter. Of you like BnZ, give the fw190 series try. Amazing roll rate but terrible horizontal maneuverability. I'd recommend the Fw 190a4. Really lead those mg151's and Mg FF's.
Was originally a high altitude bomber intercepter then into ground attack because of the Canon in the nose works great against tanks
It was my favourite plane long time ago.... Nice video, nice commentary :)
These videos have been fantastic. Thanks for posting @niccaman
Nic i'm so glad you're enjoying war thunder! Try the A36 Apache if you liked the p400, it's very similar to this plane but with airbrakes and possibility to carry a payload (which i wouldn't recommend in Air RB). Super super fun plane, and an early prototype of the p51 Mustang ;)
I prefer using armour piercing for the heavy mg and canon to really destroy engines and pilots!
I play customs with a friend and I have shot him down he was flying a f-5c I was flying the p-400 it’s amazing I also have flown it with half my wing on both sides
The tactic is pretty decent vs russians, as there planes dont really do well at alt, so they stay low. But vs germans for example, you want to side climb for a bit and join the battle a bit later
please... more of them :-)
That looks more like a an air cobra. The prop shaft actually ran through the legs of the pilot under a box.
More war thunder for sure, keep it up!
P-400: Im the best Low altitude fighter
Fw190 D: Im about to end this mans whole career
phly taught you well friend
also, just one thing, I play war thunder so often that the menu music makes my brain explode, try to turn it all the way down :D
Yes make it a series I love your vids
im subbing because you seem to want to keep playing WT and I wanna watch
YES MOAR WT
As long as your focus is on flying i don‘t mind of the game
Yes make it a series
awesome to watch u play warthunder
I really like your war thunder video's!
And btw the spit were far too get a altitude advantage its called side climbing so u dont run into ur foe
yes to series on this game ;)
@niccaman when you are following someone who has a bit of speed and they are climbing try a lag pursuit instead of flying up at the same angle they are. I'm really enjoying the series and love war thunder than you
Ever since I got the p400 I’ve been just MURDERING EVERYONE. This plane is really the best
YOU HAVE A HOLE IN YOUR LEFT WING!!!! also try out the Spitfires or zeros if you want some maneuverable aircraft.
Probably the reason you didn't kill that il2 is because it can take a lot of shots to take it down or when you were shooting it you were bad with your shots
While your climbing altitude, go in circles pitched upward instead of going straight up. You climb faster. Even in BFv
That alone was more immersive than fallout 76
You need the space for WAR THUNDER! Also get EXCEEDS to ALL CAPS (for maximum clicks)
Also look into MEC as well :)
You need to select "Hold Key to WEP" in controls options in UI , as you are overheating all the time / the P400 mid engined fighter was known IRL for it and in game it suffers the same consequence @Niccaman
If this thing could climb it would be a bomber slaughter machine.
