| 30s | many pilots have first-hand knowledge of |
| 32s | the mig-21 fighter family fewer people |
| 36s | are familiar with their chinese versions |
| 38s | the j7 modification 2 is almost |
| 41s | identical to its soviet siblings while |
| 43s | the e version boasts a unique wing |
| 47s | but how about a double mid |
| 49s | surprisingly that's the kind of task the |
| 51s | chinese aviation engineers once received |
| 54s | and here's what they made |
| 56s | the aircraft's power plant is two |
| 58s | turbojet engines with afterburners |
| 61s | self-sealing fuel tanks are found in the |
| 63s | wing and the fuselage while the nosecone |
| 65s | hides a radar system |
| 67s | fixed armament consists of a |
| 69s | 23-millimeter auto cannon with an ammo |
| 71s | pool of 200 rounds the aircraft can also |
| 75s | carry conventional bombs and rockets as |
| 77s | well as infrared and radar-guided |
| 79s | air-to-air missiles |
| 81s | the key part of this machine is its |
| 83s | power plant two engines provide a high |
| 85s | thrust to weight ratio which in turn |
| 88s | means excellent dynamics and climb rates |
| 91s | and no one ever thought the regular |
| 93s | mig-21 had a shortage of it in the first |
| 96s | place |
| 97s | the increase in power didn't affect the |
| 99s | maximum speed however it's limited by |
| 101s | the wing's capabilities much like on its |
| 103s | predecessors |
| 104s | we definitely wouldn't recommend |
| 106s | accelerating past 1 360 kilometers per |
| 109s | hour near the ground unless you want to |
| 111s | turn into a starfighter |
| 116s | now one might assume that adding another |
| 119s | engine would make the aircraft big heavy |
| 121s | or clumsy like some phantom but it |
| 124s | actually didn't the increased size had |
| 126s | little effect on maneuverability the j8 |
| 129s | does a great job at turning towards the |
| 131s | enemy and you don't really need much |
| 133s | more from a top fighter |
| 135s | it has two types of missiles against |
| 136s | enemy air the ir homing pl5b for close |
| 140s | range and the radar radar-guided usb for |
| 143s | long distances |
| 144s | both do their jobs just as well as their |
| 146s | counterparts from other nations now the |
| 149s | fixed armament of the j8 leaves much to |
| 151s | be desired its ammo pool can only last |
| 154s | 3.5 seconds of continuous use and with a |
| 157s | low fire density it's far from the best |
| 159s | choice for gun duels |
| 161s | as for countermeasures it's a mixed bag |
| 164s | for this fighter i mean it does have |
| 166s | some which is already a matter of envy |
| 169s | for some competitors the mirage the |
| 172s | draken the starfighter the nesher and |
| 174s | the f1 fighters can only have flares in |
| 177s | front of their noses |
| 179s | but there are only 64 of them and even |
| 181s | despite their increased caliber they |
| 183s | might not last the entire battle |
| 187s | [Music] |
| 189s | the mirage the draken the starfighter |
| 192s | the nesher and the f1 fighters can only |
| 194s | have flares in front of their noses |
| 197s | but there are only 64 of them and even |
| 200s | despite their increased caliber they |
| 201s | might not last the entire battle |
| 204s | close air support isn't the strongest |
| 206s | role for this chinese fighter you can |
| 208s | destroy tanks with its rockets and 500 |
| 210s | pound bombs but it's a tricky task |
| 212s | without a ballistic computer what the j8 |
| 215s | does great is clearing the skies of |
| 217s | enemy aircraft providing a major |
| 219s | contribution towards victory and |
| 221s | ensuring the safety of allied vehicles |
| 224s | [Music] |
| 235s | [Music] |
| 238s | the ferdinand self-propelled guns occupy |
| 240s | a special place in the history of german |
| 242s | armored vehicles there are so many myths |
| 245s | about their creation and battle |
| 247s | engagement that these machines are no |
| 248s | doubt legendary |
| 250s | they also had just as legendary a |
| 252s | predecessor the porsche tiger |
| 255s | by the way many made up stories and |
| 257s | misconceptions accumulated around the |
| 259s | wartime activities of the porsche |
| 261s | company you can often hear that the spg |
| 264s | was actually the idea of ferdinand |
| 266s | porsche himself they'd say porsche was |
| 269s | making his tiger for a competition but |
| 271s | lost to henschel and decided to use the |
| 274s | hulls for the sp genes in fact porsche |
| 277s | was only a design bureau back in those |
| 279s | years nothing else |
| 281s | both tigers were made according to |
| 283s | official contracts with steyer factories |
| 286s | assembling both porsche tiger and |
| 288s | ferdinand machines no independent action |
| 291s | was allowed in producing vehicles of |
| 293s | course |
| 294s | due to urgency the germans put the |
| 295s | tigers into production with no |
| 297s | preliminary testing right off the |
| 299s | blueprints |
| 300s | no wonder the first tanks had heaps of |
| 302s | issues and assembly plans were shattered |
| 305s | the porsche tiger was the most notable |
| 307s | issue producer it had a new unique |
| 310s | suspension new air-cooled engines and an |
| 312s | electric transmission |
| 314s | unlike other german tanks it had rear |
| 316s | leading wheels while pneumatic brakes |
| 318s | were in the front no one had any idea |
| 321s | about their real world performance |
| 323s | and soon the number of issues became so |
| 326s | overwhelming they had to stop the |
| 327s | assembly lines for porsche tigers what |
| 330s | could they do next |
| 332s | they could try to polish both tigers but |
| 334s | didn't they have enough issues with just |
| 336s | one |
| 337s | on the other hand discarding an entire |
| 339s | project would be a shame with so much |
| 341s | time and effort spent |
| 343s | so the germans found a compromise the |
| 345s | henshaw tiger would be mass-produced |
| 347s | while the porsche tiger designs would be |
| 349s | used to create a self-propelled gun it |
| 352s | was still a complicated task that |
| 354s | required new solutions but porsche |
| 356s | engineers weren't new to bold |
| 358s | experiments |
| 359s | the first thing they had to solve was |
| 361s | the layout the new more powerful canon |
| 364s | had such a long barrel that they |
| 365s | couldn't simply replace the turret with |
| 367s | a casemate the german army already had |
| 370s | spgs with a casemate in the rear and |
| 372s | engines right below it it made repairs |
| 374s | difficult even with open top compartment |
| 377s | vehicles so they had to find another |
| 379s | solution for the ferdinand so the |
| 381s | engines and the generators were placed |
| 383s | in the center |
| 384s | now only the casemate had to be removed |
| 386s | to access the electric drives the |
| 389s | suspension units were outside so they |
| 391s | could be replaced in the field while the |
| 393s | road wheels didn't overlap |
| 395s | the engineers were worried about their |
| 397s | brainchild they didn't have enough time |
| 399s | to polish the porsche tiger and yet they |
| 401s | had more issues to work on could a 65 |
| 404s | ton spg be reliable how do you tow and |
| 407s | repair it how would the electric |
| 409s | transmission perform in battle |
| 411s | the ferdinand's first actual combat went |
| 414s | off the plan originally they had to |
| 416s | follow the infantry and lighter vehicles |
| 419s | providing covering fire but during the |
| 421s | battle of korsk the ferdinands found |
| 423s | themselves in the front and in a |
| 425s | minefield no wonder so many of them |
| 427s | became immobilized moreover the summer |
| 429s | of 1943 was hot and dry leading to dust |
| 433s | clogs and overheating in the engines |
| 435s | still this machine was theoretically the |
| 437s | best in the world in terms of armor and |
| 439s | firepower at the time |
| 441s | by winter they gained enough experience |
| 443s | in employing the ferdinands so in |
| 445s | december of 1943 the remaining machines |
| 448s | were sent to austria for a major |
| 450s | overhaul |
| 451s | the spgs received commander's cupolas |
| 454s | machine guns for the radio operator and |
| 456s | a new toolbox in the rear |
| 458s | a month before the overhaul the |
| 459s | ferdinands were renamed into elephants |
| 462s | which led many to mistakenly believe |
| 464s | that the elephants were improved |
| 466s | ferdinands in fact both names were used |
| 468s | in parallel |
| 470s | after the overhaul the elephants were |
| 472s | sent to italy where they demonstrated |
| 474s | notable performance |
| 475s | they say there was a battle where two |
| 477s | elephants fought around 50 american |
| 480s | tanks for 10 hours and damaged roughly |
| 482s | 30 of them |
| 484s | it's hard to say how much truth there is |
| 485s | to it but there's no doubt that they |
| 487s | might well have pulled it off with their |
| 489s | armor and firepower |
| 491s | later some of the elephants were brought |
| 492s | back to the eastern front where they |
| 494s | remained until the end of the war |
| 496s | the porsche engineers took a great |
| 498s | technical risk developing their tiger |
| 500s | and it certainly paid off the ferdinands |
| 503s | based on that tiger sustained two years |
| 505s | of heavy battles and earned their fame |
| 508s | as fearsome machines |
| 512s | [Music] |
| 519s | [Music] |
| 525s | not long ago pilots of some top aircraft |
| 527s | received an updated suspended armament |
| 530s | selection menu we know how much you |
| 532s | wanted this feature and honestly |
| 534s | speaking we're a bit tired of manually |
| 536s | composing dozens of weapon loadouts |
| 538s | ourselves |
| 542s | so let's talk about these new |
| 543s | opportunities |
| 544s | we'll start with the list of aircraft |
| 546s | that enjoy this new system currently |
| 549s | eight machines of different nations have |
| 550s | it available a couple of american a-10s |
| 553s | the german mig-23 mla and the su-22 |
| 557s | um-3k today's metal beast the chinese |
| 560s | j-8 the top italian starfighter and |
| 563s | french mirage planes and the israeli |
| 566s | fear c2 but very soon with the danger |
| 569s | zone update more top planes will receive |
| 571s | the custom loadouts as well as all |
| 573s | phantom and mig 21 23 and 27 planes |
| 577s | which will increase the total past 30 |
| 579s | machines and more are coming |
| 584s | to create your first loadout select a |
| 586s | plane go to suspended armament and press |
| 588s | create in the bottom left |
| 590s | you'll see a line of squares |
| 592s | representing your plane's hardpoints if |
| 594s | you click on a square you'll see a list |
| 596s | of weapons you can load onto this |
| 597s | hardpoint aircraft upgrades and |
| 600s | unlockable modules will add to the list |
| 602s | of available weaponry as expected it |
| 604s | makes sense to consider possible |
| 606s | activities and battle conditions when |
| 608s | creating a loadout you're unlikely to |
| 610s | need bombs and air-to-surface missiles |
| 612s | in air combat so why take them the |
| 615s | opposite is also true no use taking a |
| 617s | full set of aaa missiles from mixed |
| 619s | battles |
| 620s | you can only create a custom loadout in |
| 622s | your hangar not in battle so think |
| 624s | through future scenarios in advance |
| 627s | for instance we don't recommend simply |
| 630s | going for the top weapons on attack |
| 631s | aircraft having a few different sets is |
| 634s | better there's more than one reason for |
| 636s | that first each bomb and missile |
| 638s | increases your respawn cost it would be |
| 641s | a shame to not be able to take off at |
| 643s | all because you're only missing a few |
| 644s | points you wish you could drop a few |
| 646s | bombs right |
| 648s | second each weapon has its own mass that |
| 650s | affects the flight performance of the |
| 651s | carrier in a major way there's no sense |
| 654s | in carrying a bunch of heavy bombs if |
| 656s | you expect to suppress enemy aaa defense |
| 658s | with guided missiles you'll have way |
| 660s | better chances with no flight |
| 662s | performance penalty |
| 664s | on some machines it's possible to lay |
| 666s | out the same weapon set in different |
| 667s | ways |
| 668s | pay attention to the type of your |
| 670s | ordnance in that case for instance large |
| 673s | caliber bombs can be dropped with equal |
| 675s | precision from both the wing and the |
| 676s | belly hardpoints while rockets are more |
| 679s | convenient when they're closer to the |
| 680s | center of your plane |
| 682s | bear in mind that payload capacity is |
| 684s | limited you won't be able to take enough |
| 686s | bombs to prevent takeoff as for |
| 688s | different wing loads it's a bit trickier |
| 691s | if you fill out all the hard points on |
| 692s | one side and leave the other empty the |
| 695s | game will warn you about it and won't |
| 696s | allow you to save this loadout however |
| 699s | it doesn't mean all your loadouts have |
| 700s | to be symmetrical you can have an uneven |
| 703s | spread of the weight but only within |
| 705s | reasonable limits individual for each |
| 707s | plane |
| 711s | well that's it for the loadouts get |
| 713s | creative give them unique names for |
| 715s | quick navigation and favorite them to |
| 717s | find them faster share your experience |
| 720s | in the comments meanwhile we'll be |
| 722s | answering some of your questions |
| 725s | [Applause] |
| 737s | the first question was sent by a player |
| 739s | called dio helang ramadan why can't i |
| 742s | launch tv guided rockets or bombs at |
| 744s | night |
| 746s | hi dio there is no mistake here such |
| 748s | munitions can't be used when it's dark |
| 750s | the reason behind that is that their |
| 752s | homing devices seek out points or groups |
| 754s | of objects on the ground with a high |
| 756s | contrast and use them as guidance and |
| 758s | they simply can't do that at night |
| 762s | tethanos asks does the nuke get unlocked |
| 764s | at 6.7 or 7.0 |
| 768s | hi there currently the nuclear bomber |
| 770s | becomes available at a br of 6.7 it's |
| 773s | either the b-29 or the 2-4 |
| 776s | another question comes from pahor 95 how |
| 779s | do i use suspension on a japanese mbt |
| 783s | hi power all the settings you need can |
| 785s | be found in controls ground vehicles |
| 788s | suspension control |
| 790s | as for tactics you might need the |
| 791s | suspension in closed position such as to |
| 793s | improve your depression angles or |
| 795s | decrease the visibility of your tank's |
| 797s | outline |
| 799s | 439 sparky one right do you pick |
| 802s | comments to read for the next episode |
| 803s | throughout the entire week |
| 806s | hi sparky as a rule of thumb we collect |
| 808s | comments from multiple aired episodes so |
| 810s | if your question isn't there in the next |
| 812s | episode chances are we haven't gotten to |
| 814s | it yet |
| 815s | and the last comment for today was |
| 817s | written by blauish stoffel you should |
| 820s | also have rated the turning circle for |
| 821s | the wheeled tanks |
| 823s | hey there it isn't important enough to |
| 825s | have a full stage dedicated to it so we |
| 828s | didn't show it in the triathlon but we |
| 830s | can have it right here if you want let's |
| 832s | line up the participants and |
| 835s | go |
| 836s | the best result is shown by the german |
| 838s | machine then we have the centauro then |
| 840s | the chinese american and japanese |
| 843s | vehicles showing similar results and the |
| 845s | biggest circle belongs to the ruikat |
| 848s | that's it for today you've been watching |
| 850s | the shooting range by gaijin |
| 851s | entertainment and the next episode will |
| 853s | premiere the following sunday at 4 pm |
| 855s | gmt or noon eastern time |
| 858s | subscribe and click the bell if you |
| 860s | don't want to miss our next videos don't |
| 862s | forget to leave a like remember to give |
| 864s | your smart missiles a pep talk before |
| 865s | you launch them for that extra speed |
| 867s | share your thoughts and comments and see |
| 870s | you next week |
| 874s | [Applause] |
| 897s | you |
