Adam taking a P-38 into the 109 swarm: "I'm not trapped up here with you, *you're trapped up here with me.* "

Fun fact: P-38 ace Robin Olds also scored a kill with his engines off.

4:24, that background soundtrack could not be more appropriate. Exactly what would play in a protagonist outnumbered scene. EDIT: Physics video on flaps would be awesome. "Poor turn" and "good flaps" seem to be contradictory, although I can see the Spitfires easily having the opposite description so I think maybe "strong flaps"(durability and/or low speed lift boost(?)) or "quick flaps" may be better future descriptions.

Overlay guy after being thanked: *happy overlay noises*

That was crazy fight, when you ran out of fuel and still got him I went crazy 😂 really enjoyed this video, great work Adam 👍🏻

I’d prefer to an assembly kit rather than a pre-made model. You are missing 90% of fun without building it by yourself.

Beautiful fighting as always, hope the new PC is working better for you than the fuel load did... o7

U shooting to slow down at the end scared me.

Impressive fight, dealing with so many enemies at the same time. You've been flying at 105% throttle. Full WEP is 110% but a red "WEP" appears above 102% throttle so it can be misleading. Difference in actual horsepower with throttle between 102-110% is very very small though, so you probably had only ~1hp less than normal. Still, it's inefficient ;) Overlay made by "Overlay Guy" is pretty and I like it. However, i think WTRTI - War Thunder Real Time Information overlay is better. It can log data into .csv and has indicators such as "turn time" and WEP remaining" which are useful. It's also available for everyone. Overlay Guy has a competition :P

I hate flying the P38s but that end was a damn great fight, you both flew well ,but you never cease to impress. Well done good sir.

3:49 Lööping was a very nice choice in that situation, very nice indeed.

I love watching you do your thing in that twin engine beauty! I need to get on war thunder again soon. It’s been quite a while lol!!

The allied teams have hit rock bottom lately. I dont know what can save us. Enduring confrontation? JU288 rebalance? I'm desperate, I don't want this game to die.

I am not good as like you, but P-38 showed me that "this is Boom & Zoom." It literally showed what BnZ is. Love this plane

The very fact that you managed to dog fight with a bus is commendable. With 4 kills, that's a job well done..

Quite an amazing display of your skill. No wonder the p-38 isn't your style, there are objectively better fighters in the same BR range. Still, very enjoyable to watch you perform so well in it.

The last fight was like an anime Good video

Now that's a lot of hits!

That 2km shot from the bomber would have sniped my pilot. It happens all the time 😂

Beautiful. I love this plane

I need to fight high-alt more, this is beautiful.

A bit late to the party on this one, still a great video I miss the Adam Warthunder days. Trying to become a P-38K god so this is a step in the right direction. Fantastic video, well done!

Fun Fact: I'm the guy that always catch fire when the enemy long shot. I don't know if you will consider it funny, but I'm laughing to not cry...

What a nice match! Good job Adam

I was waiting for this. Saw you in game

If you want, you should do another video on the F7F Tigercat. That plane has very quickly become one my my favorite planes. Second to the F8F Bearcat. Spaded, the Tigercat is nasty!

Well it's the EI that's keeping me flying atleast online... good video!

Lmao the kill feed at the beginning just shows the uselessness and stupidity of certain allied teams. There are good teems and really bad ones...

Glad to see you back in the skies again Adam!

Man getting reversed then REVERSING THE G6 BACK was insane. Love your content

14:16 You just pulled off a robin olds!! In ww2, Robin Olds, a famous U.S. fighter pilot, killed a german Bf-109 after he accidentally shut off his engines. He managed to pull off the only glide kill in WW2. You've pretty much done the same except you ran out of fuel when you made the kill.

I thought the 109 would pick up speed, come around, and shoot you after you basically had him!😂

This is the kind of fight I love

Cool fight! Lightning and Tatooine 😍

Having 4 bombers every match is not enough, there'll aways be 5 people flying P-47s and P-51s with bombs and rockets

To test your aim, i challenge you to fly the mb157, I think that with your laser aim it can be quite good

Bröther, give me Lööps

Oh un premium, c'est rare ! Le new overlay est cool aussi ! (même si un peu trop sombre je trouve, je ne pouvais pas le lire contre le bleu du ciel) Le son de la musique et des moteurs était plus fort que d’habitude, non ? 3:00 Ouais, pour comprendre la haine des joueurs chasseurs contre les avions d'attaque au sol/bombardiers il faut que ces mecs réalisent que comme ils sont inutiles car ils ne peuvent pas combattre en équipe avec les chasseurs, cela signifie que les joueurs en chasseurs vont surement être en sous-nombre. Génial pour ceux qui apprennent à jouer ! 4:40 J'adore voir ce genre de "lemming train". Les mecs sont 4, ont clairement l'intention d’attaquer la même cible mais reste groupé juste en dessous. Après, à cette altitude, même en s'organisant ils auraient eu du mal mais quand je vois le combat final avec le G-6 qui avait l'air d'être assez serré je me dis que c'est sans doute leur première erreur du match. Dispersez-vous un peu les gars (sans relâcher la pression). ^^ 10:57 ouais là j'aurais tout de suite commencé à flipper. J'ai cru qu'il allait t'avoir à la verticale. Magnifique combat à la fin, j'ai ris quand tu l'as fini alors qu'il ne te restait plus de carburant. :D Du coup, entre cet avion et un P-47D, tu conseillerais lequel ? Dernièrement j’essaie le « Fakefire » mk.16 pour débloquer le Spitfire mk.5c et j’ai vraiment du mal à l’utiliser. Il est spaded mais je tombe systématiquement sur des FW 190 Doras et Ta 152. En fait je me suis fait mouché en energy fighting contre un FW 190 A5/U2 en seulement 2 boucles à environ 380 km/h (meilleure rétention d’énergie on dirait). J’ai cru halluciné : je savais que ce FW 190 en 4,7 était pas mauvais mais qu’il gagne à la verticale contre le Fakefire ça je ne m’y attendais pas ^^

Wow youre lucky you have the best p38 in the game. That plane is a huge threat in sim

So from what it seems you need to be really hecking good at what you do to fly a p38

That glide to the airfield was so quiet tho.

Yay im early Did you know you can have ias and tas at the same time now? And how did u get that overlay, pls tell :)

Love this video. You showed outstanding performance while struggling with heavy plane that in rb is cool in low teer fun. Thought that only weak shooters like me take that many turns to damage one plane. But you proved that wearing enemies off with climbing sickness is working tactics))

Thank you for the prequel memes sir

You remained useful till the very end...GG

P-38 (especially the LO) is amazing in simulator battles. You should try it out! Great cockpit visibility + strong armament w/out convergence + 2 engines = boom'n'zoom annihilator

thank u for ur high-alt lesson! awaiting for more vids!

Damn dude, that was some rare footage of high altitude fight, nowdays i dont see mutch of it, looks like people dont climb anymore, especially if they got bad climb rate, or the fost of them instatly dive when an enemy is spoted low. Extremly intese fight tho, i bet it is rare even for you :)

I think a good solution to the ridiculous allied ground pound spam at 4.0-5.7 would be to remove the ability to configure ur plane in the first few minutes of a battle and only do it either in the hangar or after about 5 muinites. That way u could classify all ground pounders who set bombs on in hangars as attacker class aircraft and control their numbers without hurting the team as much. U might still get some people who just wait on the runway but anything right now is better that spawning in to see two people on ur team without bombs or rockets. Anyone else got problems with this theory?

I love playing the american bf 109 because my team always disappears and I can carry, while if i play on a german team it is way less tense even though i get a decent amount of kills

Nice flying on your part as usual. The outcome of the team being annihilated in 7 minutes 80% of times is why I stopped playing this game, You are obviously showing that its possible to still squeeze impressive personal score but that is not why I que for team match in the first place, when You need to "work" for your slack every time it quickly becomes quite tedious, being as good as You are definitely slows down the boring factor by a lot ofc :P Also I love Your informative series, no more use of it for me if we speak of wt flight models but I still respect the amount of work You put into it.

I just got this plane, can't believe my insane luck that you made a vid on it same day I got it, man I should get a lottery ticket

I had a tough time spading this plane. Glad to see it wasn't only my newbie skills holding me back. :P

Be cool to see the MB 175t. pretty good aircraft for dogfighting despite the fact it's a bomber

Handling is stiffer than uncle eddy during basement games

Great video! Would love to see some more mig 19s gameplay in the future.

О да, истинный воин спрашивает не "сколько врагов", а спрашивает "где они?"

Really nice game, especially the moment after you ran out of fuel it was like you were just hovering and it made the final kill so majestic. Btw, we played together 3 month ago, I dunnno if you remember but I was in the Sturmvogel and you were in a A2D-1 and you killed me 2 times but I still managed to survive every time :D That was a great game.

You laugh at the bomber trying to get you, but the other day a Ju288 ripped of my rudder doing so. His teammate was very injured already and I could sit on his tail and eventually deal the killing blow, and sure, it was probably a lucky shot, but it could have been very bad for me.

I would like to see an P38M in war thunder. For who doesn't what a p38m is, it's a biplace p38 with a radar

Could you maybe play the F86a5? I’ve been grinding to the phantom with it and I’m almost there!

I've always wanted to kill a P-38 but every time I get close another plane distracts me from my goal.

It says on the website that P-38 J is out of stock xD great vid tho, as always

hey Adam, I'd love to fly some matches with you if possible. Maybe even learn a thing or 2 in duels, if you're interested.

airspawn? since when does it get an airspawn? i havnt played ut in a long while

Do you see that overlay in-game?

Hey Adam! Make a vid about Swedish push-props, they are decent learned a lot from your videos! ✨

Breathtaking fight! I love twin-engine planes so I really enjoyed this video. Hey Acedam, Do you have a plan that flying some Swedish planes?

To start positive.... that dogfight was something else man. Great performance by YOU. But !!! Full downtier was so much in your favor. I think all of them were Trops and that G6. You can clearly see how stupidly OP and easy are german planes. You had almost non fuel vs G6 with unexperienced player (i checked his stats). The difference between him and you is so big but he does not have any trouble of keeping up with you in 4.7 plane. Germans are really weirdly OP. And he tanked shots exc.... Thanks for video.

If u don't have a 144Hz monitor try to use Vsync to lock fps in 60 or 75 fps (depending of your monitor). This feature will make the graphics a lot smother and give less stress to your vga and processor. No point in get a lot of fps that you monitor can't show and this option avoid tearing in image frames.

yeessss the LO and J get airspawn for some reason and can outclimb evrything but re2000s and maybe 5.3 109s

That really didn't look like 150fps. Looked like my usual 40

I have used my P-38K for years and have mastered it. I can make some fucked up maneuvers (Even out turning LF mk 9 spitfires and Yak-3's. Now with that air spawn.... oh my... it already was climbing like the lf mk 9 anyways without it XD

GG. Allied ground pounders uggh. Congrats on the new PC. Why only 30fps though?

Adam, you should play the Swedish j21a2.

At 6:00 all I can hear and picture is seagulls going " MINE MINE MINE" lol Also, new flight data?

I prefer the other overlay tho :( Always magnificent vid Adam, im always impressed, im the guy u was talking about Italy with some time ago xd Anyways im struggling to use the K4 now that that A2D-1 got to 7.0, axis at 5.7 can finally breath, but its really a challenge, but its an headon monster with those 20mm pods, really great hunter, but not really performant maneuverability talking, so always a challenge against Spitfires and, as the video speaks, P-38K. Will u ever do a video about it, again? Or in case, can i ask u some advices abt it?..

hey just wondering if i could make a request for the german mig 21 I enjoy your videos and the style they are and I would love to see you flying the German mig 21, keep up the good work

Adam you should take out the seafire FR 47, I hear it’s very good at extreme altitudes, but nonetheless it’s a difficult plane to fly, would like to see you have a go at it

btw you can also set both IAS+TAS to be shown if you want (I was just wondering because you used the overlay to see TAS)

Hell im spooter sply and when I got that long shot I was ecstatic lol

This plane is too high when I encounter it as German planes now. It 's a really hard target even with simple bnz and vertical. Anyway, Nice video, great work

I’m having trouble with BnZing in the FW 190 Ds. I always seem to get caught in the enemy’s guns even with a big energy advantage

el mejor jugador del mundo xD the best player in the world

Every time I use a high altitude fighter such as a P-47D/N, I always have that altitude advantage, but every time I dive on an enemy, they always loop downward, so I go back up to force them back up to my altitude, and then the cycle continues. What do you do in this situation? How do you properly utilize the “boom and zoom” tactic. It’s not working for me.

American planes and their players in a nutshell: bomber spam, ground pounding fighters, attackers who try to be fighters, “how tf can anyone play this it can’t even turn”, afk players, no one climbing, the player with 200 score complaining in chat after they die, and ah yes CANT FORGET THE GANG BANGS AT THE END OF THE MATCH AFTER TRYING TO CARRY WITH 5 KILLS AND COUNTING German players: *Gung ho’s into entire allied team and somehow comes out with 3 kills an orange wing, and possibly an oil leak if lucky* 🤫😂

Two questions: 1. What is the Mec settings for the P-38s in general? 2. How often do you use mec when flying?

If you ever misuse Umlauts again, Klaus und Hans will get you in your sleep. Nice video though.

I'm pretty sure all p38s have feathering control. Just a heads up.

Nu pici? nice. I have a nu one too :D Now I can play some DCS and Il2 :3

Could you do a video on the Chinese P-47D-28, ive gotten better at it, but im still struggling using against the Japanese

Adam, a7m2 when?

Holy shit the craziest lightning! How did you get it? Also what do you think about its odd rip speed?

Could you play the f84? I would like some tactics simce there are no vids about this plane

Once again I'm wondering, whether this G-6 could have won or not

Hey Adam can you do a video on the BF109 K-4 again?

Great fights! P38 armament seems to be crap. I never flew the p38k, and I don’t like p38s in general, because when you need to fight at low altitude you are outperformed by everyone. At 11:12 if the g6 had used 70% prop pitch he could have gotten a shot. He did not watch your Bf109 tricks video :)

Adam what you think about grinding the f4 phantoms is it worth it?

Maybe you should play the A7M2 reppu you also get more useful teammates when versing Merica or Russian
