    In this video we’re going to discuss aerobatic maneuvers. They are often confused with defensive maneuvers
 but they are not the same thing. Think of classic aerobatic maneuvers as building blocks that you can use to create more complex moves that will be useful in the specific situation that you find yourself in. Let’s see what these building blocks are
 and how this knowledge can be applied to actual combat.

      @Pdor_figlio_di_Kmer Pƙed 4 lety +5

      The problem of sending your own plane in a spin to avoid enemy fire is that you could end the fight for your enemy all on your own if you don't have: 1 the altitude necessary to recover, 2 the energy to pull off the recover and 3 the knowledge of how to recover from a spin. Not al planes behave similarly and starting a spin at 20000 feet to end up recovering, and barely, at ground level can be embarrassing and frustrating, especially if you end up shot down by ground fire.

    • @sithrulezz423
      @sithrulezz423 Pƙed 4 lety +97

      Try dropping your speed for the maneuvers, G force is created with a direct link between your rate of turn and rate of speed. The lower your speed, the better you can turn before over-G. For example, your pilot is rarely knocked out in a flat spin because you have little to no horizontal velocity. If you were to spin that fast at high speed your brains would be smashed all over the side of the cockpit instantly.

      Well I can’t tell if this is a meme or not but the best way to avoid enemy fire from people on your six is which ever angle they are turning into, turn into the other angle. If they’re boom and zooming turn into them but stay straight, if they’re right behind you same thing if they are jack knifed with the cockpit glass pointing to the left bank right and turn slightly

    I've played mostly aviation in WT almost since the game came out. My tips are:
    - Use the roll over or hammerhead or something similar to those when boom & zooming ESPECIALLY bombers & also when you are going too fast but don't want to overshoot (just climb and re dive instead of cutting throttle & losing speed).
    - You can win head ons against enemies with more powerful guns (if you have cannons at least) if you fire then quickly perform a canopy roll OR a more risky way is follow the same steps but fire a 2nd time after performing a canopy roll during the same head on pass.
    -When diving away from a boom and zoom attack I think it is better to perform a "diagonal split S" which is basically the same thing but instead of diving vertically at 90° dive 45° - 55° while turning slightly towards the enemy then at the last second dive 90° right before you think they will shoot you.

    I don't know if this has a name, but one trick I will sometimes do in a sim battle is intentionally put my plane in a flatspin if I can't get the enemy off my tail. Doing this not only causes them to overshoot, but allows me to escape in virtually any horizontal direction. It does use up pretty much all your energy though, so it's kind of a last-ditch effort.

    The "loop the loop" can actually be extremely useful in combat. During a neutral pass, both lanes typically bank until they are head on again and repeat this jousting until you crash or kill them. While during a neutral pass pull a long "loop the loop" so they get ahead of you during your manuver and can to get the pure pursuit or vantage point.

    Something that can really help, is to roll over like making a turn, than pitch the nose down in your planes perspective.
    When the enemy sees you roll over, he expects you to pull the stick and compete the turn. But when you push the stick, his sights are trained on the wrong side of your plane, missing his shots and leaving him moving in the wrong direction

    3:10 Incorrect about the loop, you actually need to cut the throttle in order to not blow up your engine on the way down, update 1.55 for the win, because it brings in temperature control for the engine, hence thermodynamics, you may need to let your plane gain speed a little bit, before you can increase the throttle.
    A loop is done when you go into the vertical, you are required to cut your throttle after exiting the loop on the way down, press the s (or whatever key you set for your pitch) key or pull on the stick, then at the top of the loop, cut your throttle for the way out of the loop, then once you are about 80% level, GET THE F*** OUT OF THERE, firewall the throttle until your at WEP (Afterburner for modern Jets, War Emergency Power for props.)

    For the people in strike aircraft dealing with multiple opposing pilots, do this. Pretend that your on a track field. Start that maneuver of an oval, and once the pilots have been separated, take a shot whenever you can, and then turn back around. Due to common logic of piloting experts War Thunder, they will eventually crash into each other. After that, just fly away and do whatever you want.

  • @XandreUK
    @XandreUK Pƙed 4 lety

    If we must split hairs, what you called the canopy roll is actually a barrel roll from what I saw. A barrel roll is basically where you roll the aircraft over itself and it ends more or less directly forwards from where it started, less some airspeed. It can be useful to make an enemy overshoot but at the end of the day, if you only move forwards, all the guy behind you has to do is wait and predict your movements.
    A canopy roll is a basic form of discplacement roll, where the aircraft displaces itself either to the left or right of its initial position in an attempt to either break contact or change position relative to the starting point. For example, doing a canopy roll to change position from the right side to the left side of your element lead.
    If you are following an aircraft, it goes as follows: If the guy you are following does a barrel roll and still ends up directly in front, that is a barrel roll. If the guy you are following does a barrel roll and ends up to the left or right of your aircraft, that is a canopy roll.

    Loops are not just for show. You can use a series of loops to gain an energy advantage against a heavier opponent, or to bait an enemy for a teammate. If you get enough of an energy advantage, you can transition into an immelman or a hammerhead to stall them out and get on their tail.

    I love this game! I hope you will keep adding many new planes, tanks, boats,helicopters etc in the future, and update on the maps, grapics sounds and many more so that tje game will be 10 times more fun than it already is! I have played for 5 years and never get bored! I would hapoily pay to play this! Its historically, interesting and ekstreme realistic. And you get to learn things like this!!

    Something I discovered is that by alternating full rudder you can evade most attacks with ease. You’ll end up moving your nose into something like a crescent moon shape. As far as I’ve tested it’s hard to hit someone doing that and vice versa. But really you’re better off turning in combat flaps and going into a dog fight.
