00:00Hello everybody, and welcome back to the patch 1.47 dev server.
00:04As you already know, I have actually been on the dev server a few times, gone over quite a lot of information.
00:09But I've just gone back over it to test fly some of the aircraft I haven't really looked at as much.
00:14And the first one I'm doing is the A-20 G-30.
00:18Now, what you're actually looking at is the A-20 G-30 we have in-game.
00:22It's not even a different variant, from what I understand.
00:25And basically, there isn't an awful lot of difference.
00:28It has the same stats, as far as I can tell. It looks mostly the same.
00:32The only difference I can see is there's a red mark on the tail rudder at the back, and a slightly flatter turret.
00:41Other than that, I'm not entirely sure what difference there is between these two aircraft.
00:46I'm not sure whether it's a reskin or something.
00:51I'm not really sure what they've done with it. It isn't labelled as an improved graphic.
00:56So, I don't know what changes they've made to it.
00:59I'll do a bit more searching on it, but I haven't really come across much information at the moment.
01:05And, yeah, as you can see for comparison, here is the new one.
01:09So we're going to take it out for a quick test flight.
01:12So here we are on Pearl Harbor.
01:14I actually had to go and quit the game, and for some reason the sound kept muted again.
01:19I also apologise if the engines were a little bit loud.
01:22It's because of the way it works, I can't actually turn the sound down for some reason.
01:29Well, I can turn the microphone down, but it doesn't matter what I turn it down to.
01:34It still comes out as the normal sound for some reason.
01:39So, yeah, I do apologise about that.
01:42Now, it doesn't actually feel that much different to the normal A-20.
01:47This isn't realistic, which is where I... I haven't used the A-20 in realistic, really.
01:53I don't know if it gets more bazooka or rockets than usual.
01:58I'll quickly try a strafing run on this carrier.
02:03I'm not really sure if there's much difference between the normal one and the moment.
02:11No, predictably it didn't do that much.
02:15Let's see if we can do a loop-de-loop.
02:21I'm starting to think this is not a very good idea.
02:26Okay, so it can do a loop-de-loop, just about.
02:33How well does it turn?
02:37Maybe I should get some speed and level off turning.
02:44It turns reasonably well.
02:48Though, again, fighters are obviously out-turning it.
02:53It goes decently fast.
02:56Let's see if we can't land it.
02:58Hopefully we've slowed down enough before.
03:02Yeah, it seems to turn pretty well.
03:07How's the elevator? Actually, yeah, how's the elevators?
03:12It's going quite slow, but the elevators respond quite well as well.
03:17Oh, we did mention there was a lot of landing flaps.
03:23So yeah, it seems okay, but again, I don't know how much difference this is to the one we've got in-game.
03:28Technically the stats should be about the same.
03:31So, yeah.
03:32So we'll move on to the next aircraft, which is the G-14.
03:40Now, the reason we're doing the G-14 and not one of the other American planes is...
03:45Well, there's only two other American planes.
03:47The B-29, which I have done two test flights of.
03:52So, yeah, I'm not going to do that a third time.
03:54And the other one is the Canberra B-57B, which...
03:59Oh god, this is fast.
04:01...which I can't actually test-fly, unfortunately.
04:04Wow, this is...
04:06I'm pretty sure this is to our realistic battles.
04:10Wow, this is very fast.
04:12I mean, that was insane.
04:15Yeah, it's realistic because it's not just turning straight away, but bloody hell.
04:20I've kind of just not really been too bothered about this aircraft.
04:24Because it was folded, and I don't know if you go for folded aircraft because it doesn't really help with unlocking new ones.
04:32But this is actually pretty good.
04:34This is all stock as well.
04:40Oh, turning's a bit weird.
04:43I know they're not good turn-fighters, but Jesus, that was weird.
04:48Okay, it goes pretty fast.
04:51Right, no, that'll probably rip them off.
04:55Try turning it again.
04:57I don't know why it keeps not wanting to...
05:02Maybe it's meant to be like that? I don't know.
05:06Uh, elevators?
05:10Eh, they're reasonably responsive.
05:14Well, there was some...
05:16It did go a bit weird just trying to go down.
05:19It could be possibly lag, though, or frame rate that's causing that.
05:23I know if the frame rate's low enough, that does cause the rudders and elevators to go a bit weird.
05:32Well, I'm going to a decent amount of height there and then manage to regain all of our speed back.
05:38Yeah, I quite like this aircraft.
05:41It's only got the same armament as the G-6, but this is a very good aircraft.
05:47I'm only doing quick brief test flights here.
05:53I'm going to try it with combat flaps, because this is ridiculous.
05:56But then they get ripped off, which is predictable.
05:59Okay, it's very good, it's just not very good at turning.
06:02So, return to the hangar.
06:06Now, the next plane will be the R-2 1941.
06:09Again, I'm not test flying the Focke-Wulf 200, because I've already test flown it quite a few times.
06:16I'll take what I think is a standard bomb load, because...
06:20Well, it depends.
06:22This R-2 is armed with Chevak cannons, which, from what I understand, aren't particularly good against tanks.
06:28So, I'm wondering if this will be used as a more fighter aircraft type R-2.
06:33But again, you will have people who are going to use it as bombers or attack aircraft.
06:39So, I'll take bomb load, because that's probably what people are going to be using.
06:47I assume.
06:49We'll see how we go.
06:51So, we've got four rockets and eight bombs.
06:53Oh, sorry, eight bombs and four rockets.
06:56I'll try it with the bombs and rockets and then drop them.
06:59Which, as far as I'm aware, as soon as you drop them, it just has no drag effect.
07:04So, I'm assuming the things holding the rockets and bombs in place would actually cause drag in real life.
07:10But I don't think it works like that in-game.
07:13I'm sorry if my voice is going a little bit.
07:15Really should have got a drink of water before doing this.
07:19Ah, seems like a nice little plane.
07:23It does look a bit more old-fashioned than the usual R-2s.
07:28Right, so straight off the bat, it does seem quite slow.
07:32Although, you have got a ton of armour on it.
07:36Try and level out a little bit.
07:39And turn.
07:42Now this does want to turn properly.
07:46So, yeah, it seems...
07:50Well, I don't know if it's a fast turn, but it doesn't cause the all sorts of problems that the G-14 was.
07:56I don't know if the front bit looks more pronounced, that little dip.
08:03Right, it seems underpowered, if I'm honest.
08:07I'm going to try dropping the bombs.
08:10I don't know if it's the bombs causing all this.
08:13Fire from rockets.
08:15It'd be cool if we actually hit something.
08:17Oh no, they fell really far.
08:19Yeah, we've picked up quite a bit of speed now.
08:25Okay, it turns reasonably well.
08:29But we do seem to be losing height.
08:33I don't know if that... I don't know why that's happening.
08:38Right.
08:40So, just test firing the cannons.
08:42Making sure they're on the wings, where they usually are.
08:46Right, so turning's okay.
08:48How's the elevators?
08:51The elevators respond reasonably well.
08:56So, yeah, this seems like a fairly manoeuvrable aircraft.
09:00Just not with bombs attached.
09:03We'll regain some height before we get our bombs back and then try again.
09:09Just in case it was just the low take-off speed that was causing all that.
09:17You can definitely feel it's a bit slower this time.
09:20But it does seem reasonably... still okay speed.
09:26Might just try it with the rockets on.
09:28We've only got like 7 seconds to go.
09:32Maybe hit this vehicle over here.
09:37Try more turns.
09:40Oh god, yeah, this is...
09:43Seems to still be turning okay, but it's just losing a ton of height.
09:49Although the elevators still respond pretty well.
09:52So, yeah, it seems okay.
09:54Just maybe not with a bomb load so much, which is understandable.
09:59Quickly move on to another aircraft.
10:06Now, the last aircraft is actually a Japanese one.
10:09Well, it's a premium, the J2M-4K.
10:12I have no idea how this is going to work out with test flight.
10:17Limited fuel and all that.
10:20I don't know how good this is.
10:23I haven't used the J2M-3 at all, I don't think.
10:27I don't know how the J2M-4 will be.
10:30I've heard some good things about the J2M-3.
10:34I assume a forward-being-improved version.
10:37But we'll just have to wait and see.
10:40Oh, there's that canopy opening.
10:43Close it back up.
10:45See if the light... if it does, I can't tell.
10:48Looks like a nice little plane, although it seems a bit slow taking off.
10:54Especially after that Bf 109.
10:57Getting off the ground.
11:00Looks weird as well, a bit stubby and short maybe.
11:03Maybe I'm just...
11:06Maybe I'm not used to it.
11:08Right, get some height.
11:10Wing-mounted cannons.
11:12Oh dear, the frames.
11:15Not good for testing.
11:17See if the elevators are first.
11:24Seems reasonably...
11:26I don't know, it seems quite slow to respond.
11:28At least going upwards.
11:30A little bit downwards.
11:32Slower than the other ones anyway.
11:37Try turning it.
11:39That's something Japan's always good at.
11:43Yeah, it turns pretty good.
11:48We're actually gaining speed while turning.
11:53Right, so we'll pull up a little bit.
11:56I wonder if we can do a loop-to-loop.
12:01It's probably not actually a loop-to-loop, is it?
12:04I've forgotten the name.
12:08Because of the radiators.
12:11You can see them coming open a little bit when we...
12:15Oh no, they aren't coming open when we go to WEP.
12:17I just couldn't see them properly.
12:21It's a reasonably fast plane.
12:24Going up to nearly 200mph.
12:27But just level flying, which is good.
12:31I don't know what's reasonable at tier 4.
12:34But yeah, it seems like a fast little plane.
12:38So yeah, that's the J2M-4K.
12:40And we'll return to the hangar quick.
12:43Now I'll probably end the episode there.
12:46And I'm not going to really test-drive the tanks.
12:49For two simple reasons.
12:51One, I've test-drove all the ones I can drive that people are really interested in.
12:55Things like the T-28E and the T-126 are quite similar to tanks we've already got in the game.
13:02The T-28E is just another variant of the T-28.
13:05We already know how it's going to handle, really.
13:08The second and quite important reason is the dev server is due to shut down in about 5 minutes.
13:15So I'm not going to have much time to really dawdle doing more test-drives.
13:20Yeah, so thanks for watching.
13:23Hope you enjoyed the episode.
