- During the late 1930s Bell engineers decided to build a fighter around a new 37mm gun. It's important to note that guns of that caliber were previously used only on twin-engine aircraft… but the team at Bell wanted to install it on an single-engine fighter aircraft. This sounded really good in theory, but the military were in no rush to approve the experimental design. Eventually, though, they decided that it was worth the risk, and on the 6th of April, 1939, the initial pre-production aircraft of the new series took to the skies for the first time.

#WarThunder - Hry
I've always loved how the 37mm on these planes enjoys such a wide dispertion. You line up a shot, fire, and the shell flies 30° off in a random direction.
Dee Vee I understand how to fix it, it's just hilarious to watch, as no cannon would actually have such a low level of precision.

P59 is a cobra (sort off)
Hey spit
Spit ain’t you aussie? You need to go to bed especially if you live over east, it’s to late for the both of us and sleep is rather useful

just don’t get behind the BV, otherwise it will eat your fuel
Same with the Yak-9K lol

Soviets seeing American aircraft: I'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK
Agree. I don’t think people know just how much we helped even before we joined the war
Bernieberben they will just view the Americans as gunslinger and such. That is politic my friend
It's a war ok !
Нужно... Ещё... БОЛЬШЕ. *ЛЕНД-ЛИЗА-А-А-А-А-А-А-А*
Bernieberben Yah right... building here in Canada in my home town were you parked P-39 planes in my home town airport in the Yukon. I mean thanks For the Highway in the north loved driving on it, but I mean you guys helped but most of those lady pilots who flew the lend - lease flights from my home town were from my home town. You guys only did all of that only after you declared war.
The "Hit 10RP - 1SL with a 37mm" Family
you aint using the right belts
just got used to this plane. one of the best planes on the us tree.
One of my favorites for BS game play. The 109s never expect their own medicine
I cant remember the plane's name but i LOVE the plane that comes before this one.
@@chaos6839 the P-40?
i think the best/most fun is the F-84B
my favorite prop is the F-82 tho
Nothing is more satisfying than blowing up a plane with your 37mm in simulator

There is 1 thing that is more satisfying

Gaijin: “the p63 A-10 gets a new weapon load out...”
me: “bbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr”
I beloeve everyone thought about the A-10 Thunderbolt:D
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT
One thing, Rockets. P-39 were armed with Rockets!
Christ Lucas You do realise that "Missile" is a powered projectile, and things like Air-to-Air missiles are called "Guided missiles".
Air to Air missilies were not known in world war 2. BUT in cold war
theres a difference between a armed rocket and a armed missile
Always fun to use air to ground munitions on enemy bombers. Basically get on their 6 and, "hey man, where'd your fuselage go?"
The Kingcobra didn't have a turbocharger, just a 2-stage supercharger.
Did it?
Wait, where did you get that info?
@@WorkAlef I don't think it did have a 2 stage super charger
@@WorkAlef Various internet sites, for example: www.aviation-history.com/bell/p63.html
@@WorkAlef But you can also see that the exhaust gases are not used for a turbocharger because they are directly emitted into the air throught the exhausts on the side of the plane and not channeled into a turbo like in the p47.
I flew a Soviet P-63 in the game for nearly five years now. When I mastered it, nothing stood before its 37mm! From the tiny I-16 to the B-29. From slow attackers to fighter jets. They all felt the Kingcobra's high-explosive bite!
The nice turn fighter series
Its not that good for turning
@@tilfo6798 bruh you live on the moon?
its not a turn fighter, bf-109's and spit-fires can easily out-turn this plane, unless you are talking about the P-39-N-0 without the 7.62 mm than that is a turn-fighter but yeah, my favorite plane the P-63 C-5 i use it was a support/energy fighter because the P-63 C-5 (despite looking like a clown, which Warthunder please for the love of god give it a normal skin) is great at energy fighting and overall badass if in the right hands i mean it can survive having two thirds of its wing blown off unfortunately, it doesn't get the best matchmaking and allied teams at that BR are often pieces of @#$%, and die instantly. so i find the P-63A-5 is good for me, faces the russians mostly and is downteired quite a bit
@@kaiburns4257 dude, i can compete with the japanese tech tree with my p-63 all the time. and everytime it blows my mind. its great.
@@yingundjan.strkstrm you need flaps as with most us planes. Plus airacobra like to stall
Cobra : *exist*
soviet ace pilot : i like this one
Soviet is jealous in America because ussr has no p 39 cobra
I remember a really long time ago when I first started playing War Thunder I had just bought the P-400. It was a funny little aircraft I would always die in it. But one time in Air RB I had gotten a 5 kill streak with it. It never happened again, but it is still fun to fly.
P-400 is kind of bad irl, but it's a beast at its br. You really have to separate firing buttons for mg and cannon to get the most out of it. Spray and pray with the mg, use the 20mm for when you have the kill shot.
P-400 is my favorite P-39 in Sim.
4:30 just to clear things up, it did NOT have a turbocharger, just a new supercharger system better suited to altitude: the later Allisons used a multiple critical altitude system like that on the DB series engines
As for my personal favorite, I’m always happy to fly the Pokryshkin P-39N: under 10,000ft, its performance is comparable to even the later Kingcobras, reaching 400mph at 10,000ft (644kph at 3km). The loss of firepower is hardly noticeable when you will mostly use the 37mm to rip enemies apart
P-39Q-5 is my favorite, I've had sooo many ace games with that, great turn rate and firepower for its br
P-59A: *left out noises*
Well it never saw combat and the flight model is a ufo, it was worse than the Gloster Meteor
The p 400 was the one of the first rank 2 aircraft I unlocked and I’m currently saving for the mustang and P 39 that plane has pretty much solely allowed me to grind out the P-36s I love that thing, attack aircraft, fighter, Interceptor that thing has it all.
A6M family plz i would love to see War Thunder make a video about the Zero
i think they already did one
@@b0BSh4nk3r they did a video on how to fly the zeros, but never did a video on the zeros' history.
I hope there going to do the same for the corsairs
@@douglet2294 corsairs would be nice too
@@muyangli8003 I think there was a pages of history about the zero. Found it, but it's quite old: czcams.com/video/oVwgJ1_XC4E/video.html
According to the book Aces of the Red Army, the Cobra and king cobra where the two most sought-after aircraft by Russian Pilots, they were quite comfortable highly controllable extremely agile and the fact that they were almost completely made out of metal was reassuring to the pilots, also apparently the main Cannon was fantastic for making German infantry turn into mist.
I`ve been playing the japanese tech tree lately and I, noticed that the N1K2 shiden kai´s homare 21 engine has only 1765hp fully upgraded instead of 2000hp which the engine was able to produce and same goes for the ki-84 and A7M2 which have the same engine. I would also like to point out that the J7W1 was an interceptor not a fighter like in war thunder. I know this is very off topic of the video but I really wanted to point it out and I don`t know any other way of doing so. I hope you see this coment and take a closer look at the japanese tech tree. Anyway I`ve been playing the game for a couple of years now and I think you`re doing great. You keep improving the game and adding new vehicles which makes gameplay even more enjoyable
I find it funny how that's the most neglected country in WT, even when they got the F-4EJ they got it last and didn't even appeared in a video! Even when it's a decent tech tree with really good planes they never seem to be taken into account.
I have found a 37mm casing recently. I think it was fired from soviet Airacobra
Nice
Outstanding video and presentation.
Imagine how great that plane was that soviets where praising it
@Brummiewellington Nah, they tried to erase any trace of their favorite tank - Sherman.
I don’t have time to play war thunder anymore.
But the P-39’s and P-63’s were definitely among my favourite fighters of the game. Fast, strong rudder, tough, well armed, good climb and dive rates. It could be a challenge nailing fighters with the cannon but it would be a special thrill felt if you pulled it off. I especially loved playing the Soviet special cobras.
Sometimes when two tanks fire together one tanks shells do not penantrate(ghost shells) please try to fix that.
@Chanuda Dangolle I had this happen to me recently while playing the IS 3. Guess who came second against a jagdtiger
It’s because it’s not full of shells, it looks like a hit but there’s nothing there.
There was an update a while back that said they fixed it but since it seems to be more or less the same if not worse
this happens almost every game with my tank. I shoot and it even recoils my tank a bit to the side when moving but no hit and i know i didnt miss because the enemy is like 20 meters away and i was driving straight at it with a 2 plane stabilizer. low and behold i die with my dm23 being a ghost shell so the xm1 player got the kill
Yeah the A10 at 4.0br with it's excellent climb rate is truly a good answer to the BF109 F4 and is probably my favourite Cobra to use despite the overwhelming yellow camo
Congrats for half a million subscribers!!!
When i was active, i liked the P39N-0 a lot. Perfect for 3.0, fast, good roll rate,firepower, climb rate(for an allied aircraft) ,while the P63A-5 can struggle against the Axis planes on 3.7.
Yeah I agree. The P-63 is matched agains so many good planes.
sim mode makes me sick so i dont play planes in sim battles
P63A-5 has always been a very good plane at 3.7-4.7 AirSB for me. I have a couple videos flying it, you just need to get used to it. While flying this plane i always stay at tree top level, use engine management to open radiators and use WEP almost constantly. Only 1 model of BF109, maybe the K-4 i struggle against and a couple 190s. Its a great low altitude fighter and i even use it in 5.0-6.3
@@T_BG_TRRR no i mean it makes me literally sick like ima throw up
Josh Collett If it fits your flying style and like it then ok. Personally to me its kinda unstable, because i was a 109 main ,but these planes were always a big threat in my eyes.
Congrats on hitting half a million subs War Thunder!!!
500k subs congratulations War Thunder!
Congratulations on 500K Sub milestone War Thunder!
I loved the p400 and the p39m-0 Those planes never left me. They never let me down!
GG on 500k subs!
You forgot to mention how the Aircobra Mark 1s / P-400s used a 20 millimetre cannon instead of a 37 millimeter.
Congrats on 500k subs wt :)
These and the Corsairs are the only American fighter series I enjoy flying. I just can't stand how the Mustangs control like a 1960s Buick.
Agreed. I never really liked the mustangs, both the rank 3 'stang and the P-51D that I own.
have you ever flown the fw109 a series? now try to complain about allied planes with bad turning then
Reduce repair cost and add ONLY JETS MAP! Your giving us small maps and ww2 maps! ADD SAMS! We are tired of flak please add something that can takedown a jet!
I agree!
Yes repair cost should be removed altogether. What is this a combat simulator or an economy simulator?
Would like to see airfield protection reworked entirely, yes defend players that are trying to play correctly but let’s get rid of airfield campers in the prop tiers
They will never listen. The biggest thing holding the game back is some stupid decisions like these.
@@yak28 shut the hell up, I can grind 1M in less than 3 hours you guys need to get gud
My favorite cobra, is the p39 n 0. Its fast and once you go above 3000km, you can wep without over heating. You can escape any enemy air craft.
Also the insane dive speed
2nd time asking this, when or will there be a feature to test drive/fly/sail every vehicle? P.S. love the show, it can really provide some insight to the game. It’s one of the only things getting me through quarantine!
What do you mean? You already can test drive every vehicle you own. I dont think they will ever make the locked vehicles available for test drive.
You ugly dude no one wants to see your face on YT
Some years back you could get into the CDK and test fly every vehicle you didn't had via using the mission maker and a reserve plane of the nation. People barely played the game because you could just get into it too easily without the multiplayer part.They just didn't like it and I can see why.
i absolutely love flying the p39n
its so fast and it has a great turn time for its speed as well
I feel like you've missed one. The P-59 Airacomet is another Bell development, bringing the Cobra family into the jet age. It calls itself "Comet" instead of "Cobra" now, of course, but it's a clear derivative of the family, with a somewhat similar airframe and the same 37mm cannon.
That's why they left is out. It's not explicitly a Cobra.
@@mrbyzantine0528 It's literally a Kingcobra airframe with a couple of turbojets stuffed in it. It's part of the design lineage and it's a major part of American aviation history, so I thought it would at least warrant a mention.
I fell in Love with these planes as soon as I got em. Super fun aircraft.
Tip when flying the P-39, bind the cannon to a different key. Use the mgs for fighters and the cannon for bombers
I think I like all of them, to be honest. I don't have a favorite, but in terms of looks the P-37Q-5 looks the BEST. That white trim is just....*YES*
When is started the American tech tree, I had trouble with pretty much every aircraft (the P-400 has a nice taste tho). Unlocked the P-39N-0 and scored a, I think, 23 kill game. The 39 mm takes a lil to get used to but when you get the hang of it it’s one good shot and game over for your enemy. Snaps the wings off like they are twigs, even with bombers.
the p400 is an absolute beauty to play, the p39 is a piece of junk though
Say would you guys be willing to do a video on the Me-262 in a similar format to this one?
My FAVORITE version was the Pinball. Experienced pilots used it to teach dogfighting to novices. It had extra armor to withstand hits with frangible training ammo, and the lights on its wings lit up when a trainee scored.
I like all of the Cobras, not only for their armament but they look great
I love those videos of vehicle family run downs. I learn so much about the basic differences between the machines and that helps my understanding of the game immensely. Is it possible to do these types of videos for ships?
ships arepointless and idk why they dont remove them yet but they still remove the maus
Yes the climb monster of the U.S
My favorite historical fighter. Colorful.
P-39Q-5 and the P-63A-5 are my favorites. You should add the C model with the bubble canopy and the XP-40Q-2
Better ballistics? I'm assuming this is what was on the documents, but is not reflected in game. The M4 and M10 cannon both have the same ballistics for both 37mm rounds. 610m/s for the HEF-I, and 556 M/S for the Ap-t, only to spread hilariously after 3 shots. While Russian Ns-37 keeps that accuracy way beyond 3 and has a higher velocity of over 900
I fly both the P-39Q and the P-63A in my 3.7 lineup and am a huge fan of them. gotta love that big gun!
are you planning to add more decorators to the game?
something like camouflage nest or other equipment to put on the tank :)
The Airacobra is the 2nd best looking WW2 fighter after the Spit.
Hey warthunder. I might have an idea for helicopters. What if they could blow away smoke screens with their prop. (amazing vids btw) keep up the good work!
Please add a permanent air rb ensuring confrontation or sim battles for console, we're really getting shafted on the game modes even though on the FAQ it states that there are no differences between console and pc
We aren't getting much of that good stuff on PC as well, sadly
Instead of Air RB EC just add Sim battles for consoles.
They have sim on console, Just not the Xbox console.
I have the P-400, P-39K-1, P-39N-0, P-39Q-5, and P-63C-5 (France), and while all are excellent aircraft the P-39N-0 stands out to me as the greatest. It was the first I managed to get a 6 kill game in, and generally is incredibly strong and can punch well above its weight.
Gaijin : Today, we're talking about *Cobra Family*
AH-1G : *Sad Noise*
I remeber using the p39q 5 without elevators and landed it using manual flap controls
The P39/P38 line in the US tech tree seems to great !
I play the P-63A-5 even in Tier V because that things climbing rate is insane and unmatched by any other American prop plane. Combined with the fire power of the 37 MM, a caliber tier V planes lack, makes it's easily capable of killing anything even two and a half BRs higher with superior altitude to gain you the advantage needed to boom and zoom.
I only have the P 400 but I have learned to praise it it is one of my best aircraft
it took longer than the video's length to find a game in the Russian P63A-5 just now....
This thing is our "Deagle" in WT. Its really enjoyable to do some one taps with p63.
Normally putting a full auto anti tank gun in a plan would be the most American thing ever
P-39N-0 would be my favorite, at its BR the turn, climb rate, and speed are almost unmatched
Hey, that's me!
Huh? Which variant? 😂
P39/P400/P63 : flying
One bullet : exist
P39/P400/P63 : fireball
If I remember correctly, the P-39s the British didn’t like actually did have turbochargers but America didn’t export them with the turbos. Right?
I enjoy the p63 a-5 even tough its a 3.7 i use it in my 7.7 battles and its still very capable with destroying targets.
King Cobras have the same fate with the F-5 Freedom Fighters. Despite great performance but the Army Airforce didnt pay much attention to it, even if the Navy like this as replacement for the deadly yet difficult to land on carriers. The F4U Corsair, relegated for the marines as land based fighters. The Cobras tricycle landing gear setup have shorter landing distance specially on carriers compared to tail draggers.
The way he says ok
Need q 25 in game and removable gun pods on king cobras to compete with axis aircraft.
Love this plane, love the Allison.
Fun Fact: all variations of the P39 and P63 can do sort of a snap cobra to make enemies overshoot. As well as the ki61s and ki84s.
You mean "snap rolls"??
The Bf109 K4 can do that really well too
@@martijn9568 no, you can literally use the whole plane as an airbrake
Huge fan of the cobras.
The early Cobra's did have a turbocharger very few planes of the period did what they had was a one-stage mechanical supercharger and thus suffered at altitude
Will you ever consider adding the panzer iv/v (a panther tank hull with a panzer iv turret)?
Great, greeting from World of Tanks
Please increase SL gain for premium vehicles and accounts. Also, reduce repair, crew and ammo costs for all vehicles and let us play the bloody game!
Btw, thanks for the Linux version - much appreciated.
They like punishing players for playing their game
Not to mention free parts and fpe too
They wont... its all about buying premium and GE to spend your money in the game
@@NO-co3es Yes but premium account holders already spend hard earned money on the game and are still punished. Not everyone can spend time every single day for gaming. Some people need to work and study during the week and can only play a couple of hours in the weekend. Would be much better if they just sold the game instead of this "free-to-play" trick.
@@yak28 i know, i am working too and i play only a few hours per week and agree with you
My favorite is the p63 a10 in mixed battles due to its decent bomb load and it fantastic 37mm cannon.
I remember this aircraft specially for its ability to loose its wings in sharp turns.
P-400 is my first off the era and one of my favorites
It's a beauty agile and mortal fighter
What a coincidence, I unlocked the cobra today and war thunder released a video on the cobra family
most underrrated family of planes in history. Only made like 5k of them and the germans and japanese still feared them. defended australia, and gave the soviets more aces than any other allied plane.
So sad not to see the P39 in the French tech tree, dispite there service in History!
Nice video
Though I’m still in the 2nd rank so I just got my 2nd cobra I’m really loving it but clearly I made the right choice while going down my first tech tree yay
GAIJIN, MAKE IT SO YOU ACTUALLY EARN BACK YOUR REPAIR COST!
i love it when im in my ferdi and i die from a t30 at like 500m away from the front
You can wait for a free repair that's on all planes. Though for some higher tier aircraft I'm pretty sure it takes days.
@@WalrusWinking in tank battles tho it takes 1 to 3 days for a repair you really wanna wait 3 days just to fix a tank for free?
@@putnamehere3803 I don't WANT to but I personally play every nation I have options.
@@WalrusWinking even then im not waiting for 3 days to get my tank fixed and its also very expensive gaijin needs to lower the repair cost maybe even remove the repair costs
My most used p-39's in the game are p-400, the n-0, & the q-5.
The P-39 N-0 is my second most flown plane the 1st being the Wyvern.
My favourite planes in the game
My favorite plane in the entire game and I’ve been playing for about six year now is the P-39 N-0, it is broken good at it’s BR IF you know what you’re doing with it.
I really need to play this game! I love all things P30 and P63.
