"When The Repair Cost Is Deadlier Than Your Enemies" Any bomber player: "yeah m8, tell me about it...."

0:29 I though it was a joke, that silence was weird xd

Spit_flyer: "Spraying just a little bit here" Continues to spray half of all the ammunition used in world war 2. P.S love your content

The "Aircraft Destroyed" sound really takes me back to 2013. Glad they didn't change it.

get that man more sponsors, living in the laundry is no fun

9:04 TRAVIS SCOTT REFERENCE??!!! spit, you cheeky cheeky man 😏

3:20 Gajinn: Did you say compress the brs?

"I am once again asking for -your financial support- you to do not throw away your altitude so easily"

2:11 God I love this channel The tips you give in these videos help enormously too. I’ve reached 10.7 jets but I still feel like I’m bad in both props and jets, so these encourage me a lot, thanks for the help man.

I thought the "word from our sponsor" was gonna be a joke like "just kidding we dont actually have a sponsor today"

Great video as always. This BR is a pain to fly, i play both late german and late US props and the Repair costs are back breaking really. Once i got 3 kills in the 109 k4, got shot down and i still lost some SL despite having a 3/1 k/d ratio. their repair costs are a firm way for gaijin to abolutely frustrate the hell out of their players to buy premium time because without premium the average player will lose hundreds of thousands of SL easily.

You know what doesn’t have high repair costs? Of course the reserve bois but there’s also the re.2000 seria 1 which you should check out

Other reason why not that many play lower tiers than jets: Probably the majority of players that started in 2013/4/5 are now in the high tiers and grinding those out, so they don't have as much time to go to the more interesting tiers. Also, great that you noticed that AFK climbers are great to farm time/SL/RP with usually no issue to win by tickets (aka playing the actual objective).

3:45 can't be overstated, the 288 spam still is going pretty strong

I always found the top tier props (especially the Bearcat) fun because of their acceleration and their max speed in a straight line. Before the thermodynamics update, I would sit at just below cloud level with 600 km/h in IAS and pick on anyone who broke through the clouds.

Playing the french one, absolutely destroying ennemies teams with it (jet included) and becoming fucking rich, is the ONLY time I’ve ever thought “yeah maybe repair costs aren’t that bad”

*cries in B-29*

If you think the RB repair costs are bad for high tier props, don't look at the sim costs :( Sim EC is so fun but you have to stick to low tier if you don't want to go bankrupt. Especially stay away from the jets.

7:29 wow that snap roll was wild!

Love that you have sponsors now. It’s about time you got rewarded for your great content! Keep up the good work!

2:07 So that's what you use it for...

The f8f (and all of 5.7-6.7) is a tragic tale but the f4u 4b was my favorite plane, until I ran out of free repairs... (cries in 23k repair cost)

Love your videos spit! Also ty for making squadrons o7

"The queues are pretty long at this BR, around 2-2:30" Me in 2013: "Thank God it only took 4 min"

Thanks for the OperaGx it was huge help

Me who remembers queuing for 15 minutes to find a match 2 years ago :/

Dont speak about long queue times before a gaijin dev watches this video and compresses matchmaking more to get a 30 sec queue time for everyone :)

thanks you a lot i was asking to see this plane a lot in the comment sections

Got this plane a few days ago, been loving it so far. Mainly using it for Ground RB tho

Another great video! Learned more as everytime. But can you do a video on the SK60 and Saab 105 generally?

No way, the 2 fw 190s you shrekked where from my squadron xD well done good vid, do a video ground attacking with fireflashes! It's hard but they go off top down like a tow 2b so its satisfying asf when you get one. Feel you about the repair costs the plane i enjoy the most is the last merlin spit but it costs 15k to repair and every game has a cloud of Ta-152s you have to work your way above otherwise its game over, the Ju 288s are annoying aswell since nothing can catch them unless you dive on it, if the enemy team has 4 of them they'll rinse the bases and the airfield by the time the fighters can get up to their altitude.

*Laughs in TU4*

Love props!

g'day mr spit the bearcat is my favorite prop

FINALLY I WANTED THIS VIDEO FOREVER! This my favorite prop and is so op😁

16:02 MAD SHOT, I could never.

Man, look the way you played this plane, made me wanna give it another try, I grind it, but played not much more than 3 matches. I suffer in it, and the repair costs, didnt made any easier.

OMG yes, one of my favorite plane, finally

The 162 is great because it’s so fast for its battle rating. It can even smash past 1000km/h in a dive and not suffer from compression. You have to play it as a jet through and through. Fast, don’t turn hard, maintain your energy. It’s a pocket rocket for 6.3 really

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS PLANE

C205 serie 3 is a pretty fun prop to fly too. It's got the same engine as the 109 so it has good high alt performance but it has more guns with more ammo than the 109.

Best game I’ve ever had was a 7 kill in my Fw 190 D13, ooooooh my do I love my 190s ❤️

This still remains my favorite Prop fighter. The repair cost is just so painful though.

I downloaded Opera GX using Spit's link, and I'm really loving right now. Seriously you should get it it's truly truly amazing.

I don’t think many people enjoy using planes that heavily punish them if they don’t go god mode. F-86K and Cl-13b mk6 also suffer from ridiculous repair costs. You should revisit one of them.

I got the f8f 1b the day it came to the game and it used to beable to climb at a 35° angle while gaining speed. It was truly a ufo.

when this plane first came out it was pretty fun to fly it against them K4s and N1K2s

Superprops and ridiculous repair costs, name a better duo.

3:55 nobody flies the b-29 and you know it

feeding the algorithm, love your videos

Repair costs/time are a big reason I almost stopped playing entirely. Getting to Tier 3 and not being able to order any, or even train a crew to operate. It's the dumbest fucking thing in the game next to midmap AA. By trying to squeeze more money out of players getting them to purchase GE to buy SL. They make it so that if you don't do that, and you don't grind and grind and grind SL, You literally can't play the game for up to days at a time depending on repair time. I can do a single match of Air Arcade and Red Wrench an entire lineup of 5 aircraft, and then have to wait hours for those tier 2 planes to repair before I can play anything again.

hi Spit, great video, always learning from u. what belt are u using in the video?

If you have been shot down in a bearcat your doing something wrong

i smell a good old day brother

Could you make a video on the Ki-84s? There are very few videos about them on youtube and those are pretty old.

Wow this is quite useful I just bought this plane

The real reason why the Harrier Gr.1 never shows up in games any more. It will preform at every battle-rating really, but it's the repair costs that makes it anemic to play. A premium plane that will net you a loss if you get less than 4 Kills in a game.

I'd love to see a list of planes which are the most fun/best, but aren't worth playing just due to Repair cost. I was thinking about this when playing the early YAK jets which have ridiculous repair costs.

nice gameplay

i already got to jets in france but i’m going to go back and get this thing

Many people KS on bombers or in general for the battle tasks/Special tasks, I've seen it a lot

Any chance of you having a look at the saab 105öe

Yeah i stopped playing this br because of the repair costs. Its a shame because this br has in my opinion the coolest planes, and i always loved playing with the f8f and f7f

Spaded bearcat is like 3 times the repair cost of an F8U crusader. Or identical the F3H

when playing Air AB 6.7 my que times are generally 3-5 minutes long for 6v6s. It's even worse when a match goes to time.

Oh noooo not a 2 minute matching time

can you make vid of the sk60b. i personaly suffer a lot

I hate the bearcat lol. I Wass playing the ju-288 today and a bearcat chased me all the way back to base in a straight line and massacred me right at the airfield 🥺

getting ganged like piper perri, favourite quote ever xD

yo those fw 190's i am in tfws the forgotten warriors

Warthunder needs to add a new feature to the warthunder mobile app: a notification on your phone when the matchmaker found you a match.

I mean, this is my most played vehicle and i love it

Spit_flyer can you play the La-9 or the La-7B-20 ?

Hey spit.....this is pretty late...but i have a suggestion of a plane to just screw around...the British premium plane, the wirraway is pretty fun not gonna lie its also good in ground rb as well as air rb

3-4K stock repair cost for the French bearcat in sim Might actually be try to spade one of my favorite planes now. This plane is super nice

Yo spit, mind covering the 109 K-4? It’s such a bittersweet plane

Take a look at bf 109 k4. I've been trying to play it but I'm not doing to well.

Thankyou for bringing attention to the problem of repair costs. I want to add to the discussion. Intro: I know that I have a lot of aircraft that I want to fly, but I just won't when it costs as much or more than what I usually make in a match. I honestly think that they could just reduce the repair costs, maybe put a cap at 10k SL and then reduce the SL multipliers. Or perhaps people would fly the planes that they think are more fun if all the fighters had the same SL multipliers and the same repair cost. Or no repair cost. I have heard that repair cost is a way to balance a vehicle, but I think that is by making people not play it. If it's OP, it's OP. Making it require 3 kills to break even is not going to make is not OP, it's just going to mean that only skilled players fly it... which could expand the problem. Story of My Experience: I used to fly in Warthunder sim mode, now I fly in IL-2 GB because thinking about things like spawn SL costs was annoying when making line ups. And yes, the same repair cost problem that is found in air RB is in air SB. I was a decent pilot, I would usually get about 3-7 kills in a life when I was flying regularly, and using the same couple of planes a lot. I was originally an avid bomber pilot until I got the Pe-8. At that point I lost all of my SL (and I mean I had to fly bi-panes it was that bad) in a series of about 5 flights where I shot down a minimum of 3 planes, and dropped bombs on target 3 times. I was not gun-shipping, I was just getting attacked by J7W1s constantly. One of those missions I shot down 1 plane, hit the target, and landed at my airfield... I lost SL on that flight. I started flying fighter planes at that point, got as good as stated above and then found planes that looked cool, like the LA-9 and P-51H (15k SL and 20k SL at the time), but I would never fly, because they had the same problem as the Pe-8. Basically, as Spit_flyer stated in this video, nobody wants to fly it if it costs that much. So there are a lot of aircraft that are simply under represented because of the repair cost. Conclusion: In my opinion, the whole Repair cost system has to be done away with and we need to add about 5 new BRs to handle the balancing issue. Yes that would take some time to sort out, but it would be worth it. Even if that's not the solution, something has to be done. Anyone else have thoughts?

fun fact, the blue angels used this plane for three years.

No lie opera gx is baller as hell, i've had it for a few months and i absolutely love it

Spit can you try the G91 R/3? The defa 552 one

Please cover the Seafire Mk17

What happened with the me 410 video?

In sim battles it can get worse for repair cost. The Ki-84 hei Hayate (spaded) has a repair cost of 21,743 silver lions. A MiG-29 will cost you 27 263 and a f-16a will cost you 27 041. I'll be honest I haven't really flown jets so I'm not sure what a 3 hour (or close to) match in a jet would be like for outcome of silver lions. Another weird thing is how certain planes get different battle ratings from sim to rb. A7m1 goes from 5(rb) to 4(sim). J2m2 4.3 to 3.7. Yak-3 (VK-107) 5.7 to 6.3. You get the idea :P

what??? spit_flyer playing a prop plane????

Hey Spit! How are you today?

Hey can you do the Mig-19S as im about to get it

Spit faces some easy opponents meanwhile I’m stuck playing against Eric Hartmann

I remember when this bad boy had 20mm cals and could turn fight spitfires :c

3:59 they still clog up the matchmaker lol i frequently games with 4 288s on a 6 player team

I’m unlocking the second American phantom and I’m hovering around 20k SL, I’ve given up on getting any new jets

the title defines pretty well half of the italian air tree

1:13 what is the background soundtrack?

I have had 4 games in a row with 3 kills. I don't know what or how, but it just domes jets at low altitude who aren't looking Just BRRT them outta the sky

im happy just to not lose sl

Yep. I don’t go to that br because of repair costs.

I do believe its repair cost going down!

Naval AB usually have more than 5 minute waiting times so 2 minutes is fine

ive been noticing the long match times lately.. i play the D-13 for grinding SL.. there have been a few times where i was one of two fighters and the rest were bombers.. also noticing there have only been around 50K players online at the times im on.. makes me wonder why and if this game will die eventually because gaijin uses the wrong tactics to balance *ahem* REPAIR COSTS! I love flying the Ta152 H-1 but ive kept from playing it because the rep cost is so high one or two bad matches makes me not want to play it
