If your ping is 900+, you can see lots of unique flying boxy planes when playing ground battles, sometimes you can see some land submarines too

He forgot to mention that the 109z is extremely rare now and can't be bought

Been playing since 2013 and never heard of the last soviet attacker

The amount of times I've hit critical hits on the tail of the tail less komet leaves me confused

The He-111Z, the 5 engine "twin" version of the "Schnell bomber" should be in the game.

Except the enemy never has any bombers in games with the ME163, nothing to intercept...

Japan :* buy tiger 1 German:" sorry bro the sub caries your purchase is sunk" Japan :* buy sweet looking plane German :" sorry bro the sub caries your purchase is sunked again" Japan: BRUHH

Can‘t have a „weird planes“ top list without germans. But do note: The Mk in MK 103/108 is not short for Mark, but Maschinenkanone. There is no connection between those words, the Germans in that time weren‘t the biggest fan of the english language. It just a coincident, but it is still wrong.

The most unusual aircraft is the BI moon landing rocket

I have two questions: 1. Can you make a Matelbeasts for the Ho 229 and the He 177 A? 2. Can you explain how the ammozones for bombers on small RB maps work?

Fun fact: The ME 163's fuel was extremely corrosive, it even melted one of it's pilots when the plane flipped upside down after a crash!

War thunder: look at these unusual aircraft! Me: let's look at the overpowered aircraft that kill me all the time!

When you reverse the wings on the toy plane.

2:50 Im sory? Bombers???!?!?!? Maybe F80s and Sabre not bombers

The DH Vampire isn't exactly unusual, but it's a jet whose fuselage and wings are almost made entirely of wood. The same goes for the DH Mosquito which originally was an unarmed recon aircraft which was quickly turned into several variants (Bomber, fighter-bomber, night fighter, etc). A design that was so radical that even the MOD in 1940 was skeptical of its potential.

My great uncle actually flew the XP-55. It’s last flight was at an air show where he crashed and sadly died in the crash. He was an ace over Europe and was shot down twice and both time escaped a POW camp. His name was William Glasgow.

2:48 LIES AND DECEIT The Komet never faces a single propeller-driven aircraft in the game (apart from the Tu-4 every once in a blue moon). Edit: Alright since people brought it up let me rephrase it: The 163 never faces a piston-powered bomber from its era, unlike what the video shows.

The presenter has a nice voice and spells most foreign words semi-correctly, I hope you pay him a lot, he deserves it.

I’m surprised the J-21’s and A-21’s never showed up with the rest of the push/pull props

0:51 UHH AKCHUALLY "Zügelling" doesn't mean twin. It is the Diminutive of a rein, wich is a thin lether strap attached around a horse's neck, in order to control it. He was meant to say "Zwilling", wich does not contain the sounds of "ü" and "e".

The "MK" in German aircraft cannon designations stands for "MaschinenKanone," not "Mark" as in British designs.

Would LOVE to get my hands on the Bf-109Z. Favorite "unique" plane would probably be the XP-55. Last flown I was vertical fighting 109s and killed 2 or 3 of them. It was hilarious. Another one I like is the Me 163 (the twin 30mm variant). Difficult to fly but is fun in it's own way.

6:51 XD good one warthunder

0:31 LESS GOOO!!

'Decent rate of fire' Attach gun pods=cancer lazer

The xp-55 is my favourite because it has a stun effect that lasts about 3 seconds everytime a plane sees me. Sadly it may also stun your team mates that take a little look at you

I've flown many, and it is so cool seeing designs that never saw their potential be shown in their entirety ages later. Choose the iconic vehicles, or the unusual ones. That's the beauty of War Thunder.

I am really exited for more unique and out of the box vehicles in the future. War thunder offers a perfect “what if” scenario, like how it might have preformed in real life

I can see where Miyazaki found inspiration for the designs of the aircraft in *Nausicaa*

sir Bruce, you sound great as always! Wishing you the best always! You will always be the voice of Warthunder.

Fun fact: The Xbox game Crimson Skies used two of these planes as inspiration for some of their strange dieselpunk aircraft designs. Their Devastator is basically a dual-wing spinoff of the J7W1, and the Brigand is a much heavier Tandem MAI with a bigger turret and lots of ordnance.

Amazing video! The Tandem MAI is my fav.

Question: can we get a update on bomber cockpits for theres less cockpit place holders.

i love the Horten 229, it's just perfect

While weird, the He-163 and the Ho-229 are so much fun to fly aside from being almost complete opposites and when you aren’t crushing your pilot under 32Gs you can pull some really sharp turns in them

You've got the rocket exhaust going while the Comet is attacking bombers. I thought the Comet used up it's rocket fuel getting to it's maximum altitude then was essentially a glider while it was attacking enemies on it's way back down.

The German cannons are called MACHINEKANONE 108, not Mark 108!

The Japanese made another rocket plane, but we don't talk about that one

Dornier 335 a fascinating airplane. Saw one at Smithsonian #2 in VA.... Big - the size of a medium bomber....

I actually have the do 335. I love ground striking with it. Especially with the b1 varient.

Imagine being high up in the daily reward, buying a premium account, and/or working on the veteran decals and your power goes out for a week.

1:22 small correction Bruce but it's "Machine Kanone" not Mark.

The XP-55 Ascender and the J7W Shinden are my favorites of the list. I just want to fly em and do stunts and have fun. Wish there was a race course.

Yes, i got the Ho 229 V3 as my first jet in game. Its awesome!

I bet the tandem MAI is coming back in the war thunder birthday event

Bf 109 Z: I am powerful F 82: Your burrrrt? Thats cute

Got all of them besides the tandem XF5F skyrocket and XP-50 are funky and pretty darn good as well tho

I know an aircraft similar to the Tandem, its called the Boulton Paul Defiant. It is basically a Hurricane, a IL-2, and the Tandem mixed together! Sadly, its not in WT

The word "Zwilling" is pronounced "tsvill-ing" or "zvill-ing"

THE TONKS

I love the Xp 55 even in turnfights not only for BnZ.

This is why I playing War thunder, not only the game nor the narrator voice it's because we're learning about the history of tanks/fighter planes and etc.

tonk loking wierd

You're not going to do anything about repair costs aren't you?

ho-229 turns really sharp stall has left the chat*

The "steel arrow" is my favorite

so geijen got rid of some "blueprint vehicles" like the maus etc, but talk about a couple vehicles in this video that never made it out of testing and they're still in the game?

Horten 229 is my favorite. The maneuverability is just amazing.

Im curious why the BF-109T isnt included. it never made it to production because the Graf Zeppelin never finished but being yet another variant of the beloved fighter.

I was so happy that they restored an actual F-82 Twin Mustang Fighter and in full flying condition.

When will you guys bring the 109z back?

Are u folks bringing back the bf109Z anytime sooner?

Is this a new channel on KZfaq? I'm already hooked by this chapter.

Even though it's not a fighter, the Blohm und Voss BV-141 should deserve mention. Its design is so insanely weird

Gotta love how even though Gaijin Entertainment knows the limitations of the German, Japanese, & Russian aircraft.... still makes them far more capable in the game, then they should be, compared to other aircraft. Also love how they give some countries experimental aircraft that never even saw the light of day... and yet prevent the USA country from getting many of its aircraft that were actually flown during WWII, including the XP-79 & the Ryan FR Fireball.... also how they'll take American aircraft like the P-59 Airacomet, and move it from 1942, to 1944. I guarantee if it was a Russian aircraft, it would be in the appropriate era, and be armed with highly-accurate 20-30mm cannons, and be able to do things it never could IRL. Its the same reason why they skip over dozens of American aircraft completely, and nerf them to the point they aren't even recognizable by their handling mechanics, and only look the part cosmetically.

Wait did I hear Bruce use imperial measurements on an official page at thunder video? He said 5,000 miles from Honolulu to New York

Every time I close War Thunder, I start watching another War Thunder video and decide to open it back up.

As a test flight, my favorite was the XP-55. It was strange, but in my opinion and lack of skill, I think it is the best plane, just surpassing the double P-51.

last I was this early, the "maus was still a thing" was still a thing

:D small L3

1:37 According to Tom Reilly, the man who led his team in restoring the world's only flying Twin Mustang, stated that there is almost nothing interchangeable with the lightweight P-51H, in fact the P-82 stands alone aside from a piece or two from the B-25 Mitchell bomber!

My fav is the Do 335 B-2 , the cannons can do short work of tanks and its fast enove the run away from fighters

weird planes?? the ones that i used and people gave me weird eyes are the hydroplanes that land on sea and thats totally ninja. whats more weird is getting your hydroplane to land on a sea zone and gets hit by torpedo. imagine telling that to your insurance company. oh my plane just get hit by a torpedo. btw, i think they need an ekranoplane for warthunder.

Q: Everytime I play aviation I get shot down so quickly but my shots do nothing to the other player :/ what can I do?

I wish I could go back to playing war thunder but rip my xbox Atleast I still have this channel

You guys need some of the more insane Payen designs

The most unusual thing every new update the game becomes even worse...

Ki-200 must have been a good kamikaze plane if it didnt get past testing

The gun pod on the dual p-51 is crazy. lol

Speaking of the Zwilling, any chance it could see a comeback in the Stores?

this vid is basically GeRmAn BiaS

Remove the r3 from 4.0 to 7.0

Flew the shinden in test flight. It goes into really fast dives (but unlike planes like the Hayate it struggles to quickly pitch up so you could crash if you pilot it like so) and is good at climbing and I guess I could use it to replace my other interceptor when I can grind the SLs to buy it. Its nose also falls off during gear-less landings even though the XP-55 doesn’t? Idk why though.

Biggest issue with the Do 335 is that its a high altitude plane and its nearly impossible to ever get an engagement above 6km so it just really has no actual niche. Below that you're just losing so much of the thrust from those dual engines that you might as well be a brick of a single engine. Even something like the insanely gunned La-9 handles so much better at lower altitudes

6:36 "Enough firepower to even shred through some tanks" Not since you nerfed the belts, cant have Germany winning, right?

First

I've flown the P-55 and Do 335 and both are amazing aircraft. high maneuverability with some punch, they've served me well in battle, also Bob Semple when?

I just like to watch these in hope of some cool scenes of planes shooting each other down.

after 8 years of the game by Far my favorite even though it was made from wood and was fragile has to be the Horton 229.. it fly's like a Bird .it loves the air.. but some of these others mentioned .. I have never heard of or seen in game..

Flying wing configuration is also in the B2 Spirit

These are great! Can you cover some others, such as the Soviet Bereznyak-Isayev BI-6-III with the 2x Merkulov DM-4 ramjets mounted on the wings, the Soviet Gudkov Gu-VRD, the 1x Lyulka RDT-1/VDR-2 axial-flow turbojet, the Soviet Tichonrawow 302 with 2x Merkulov DM-4 ramjets under each wing and a Dushkin RD-2M rocket in the tail, and the American Northrop MX324 powered by an Aerojet XCALR-2000A-1 Rotojet rocket? Thank you!

Another aircraft is the BV 141 which should be added to the game. I love the asymmetrical design of the aircraft.

my favourite of this list of weird planes in xp-55

I often wonder what it would be like to build a propeller driven version of the German Comet. It might be as fast, but with today's engine and propeller design, I bet would be a hot little performer.

The record setting F-82 is on display at The National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. Go 229 is the correct designation for the aircraft because although it was based on the Horten Ho IX glider, it took the engineers at Gothaer Wagenfabrik to turn it into the aircraft it became.

0:13 spg = salt pepper garlic

FYI...The "MK" in MK 108 doesn't stand for mark. It stands for maschinenkanone which just means machine cannon in English. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The Tandem MAI kinda looks like an example of why Beechcraft stagger and tandem wings are both rare design choices.

Where are the SM91 and SM92 ??

I love the Me 163, it is great for anoying 9.0 planes😁
