00:00Hello everybody, and welcome back to another episode of War Thunder.
00:04As you can see here, we're on the dev server, version 1.45.6.0.
00:11It's only a basic dev server.
00:14As you can see, we've got a wintry background, we've got the Christmas trees.
00:19It's obviously Christmas coming up.
00:21Not much else has really changed here.
00:24Of course, each nation has, at the moment, one new aircraft each, or updated as well.
00:31Now, the first one is the Americans, the F2H2 Banshee.
00:36There it is.
00:38See, it's a naval jet.
00:40It's got these external fuel tanks that, I think for a jet, are sellable in real life.
00:45I don't know if that would be like that in game.
00:47Twin engines, four 20mm cannons.
00:52Now, stat card, which is quite unreliable, but it's the only thing I have to go on at the moment.
00:58600 miles per hour max speed.
01:011,500 metres.
01:0312,500 metres max altitude.
01:06Turn time of 25 seconds, 26 seconds really.
01:10And a rate of climb of 30 metres a second.
01:14Now, if we go here, we notice something quite odd.
01:19It can carry bombs, up to 1,000 pound bombs, and rockets, but you can't actually select any.
01:25So, I don't know how that's going to work.
01:30Yeah, sorry if I'm going a bit quick.
01:33I haven't really got much time to record this, so I'm just going over the most important stuff.
01:38Now, Germany hasn't got a new aircraft, to my knowledge.
01:42What they do have is an updated version of the Arado.
01:47Updated as in graphic-wise, I think.
01:50As you can see, the cockpit's a lot more well done.
01:54Engines look a bit more well done.
01:57It just generally looks better.
01:59I think they might have done some work to the tail here.
02:02I've not particularly looked at the Arado before, so I haven't noticed all the changes.
02:08Tires look more textured, which I suppose isn't that important.
02:13So, yeah, Germany's got an updated Arado.
02:16Now, moving on to the Russians.
02:19We get the I-16 Type 10, the only one I haven't unlocked.
02:24And, unfortunately, can't test-fly.
02:27Well, no, I don't really think I'll get time to test-fly.
02:30Is there any information? No.
02:32I know the other two don't have information, because I tried recording this a minute ago,
02:36and it didn't work out.
02:38Mainly because I had to get rid of the mouse to do live recording and external hard drive,
02:43and it's impossible to control and zoom at things.
02:48Stat card, 286 mph at 4,400 metres.
02:53Max altitude of 9,300.
02:56Turn time, 16.5 seconds.
02:58Rate of climb, 18.5.
03:01Again, it may not be too accurate.
03:06Can carry rockets, but again, doesn't give us the option.
03:12RO-82, I think that's the 82 millimetres.
03:15I'm going to go out on a limb and just guess the 82 means 82 millimetres.
03:21Now, which one of these are we...
03:23Yeah, this is the one we're looking for.
03:25New Canberra.
03:27Preview this.
03:30Now, this is an interdictor version of the Canberra.
03:33Has this got information? No.
03:37Carry 1,000 pound bombs and...
03:40Oh, here we are.
03:42Wow, five 1,000 pound bombs. That's a lot.
03:45I don't know if the normal one can carry that.
03:48But it also gets four 20 millimetre Hispano cannons.
03:54Oh, battle rating of 7.3.
03:57The normal one's actually a really low battle rating at the moment.
04:02I was wondering if they were going to keep that there.
04:05They also seem to have...
04:08It looks like a turret, but it doesn't mention a turret.
04:12Is it meant to be a telescope or something?
04:14Or telescopic sights?
04:16Seems an odd way to do it.
04:19Let's compare the stats, actually, between...
04:22547, 547.
04:26For max speed.
04:28Turn time 26, turn time 26.
04:30I think these are the same, more or less.
04:33I'm checking the bomb loadout on the normal Canberra real quick.
04:37Yeah, it can't... Oh, it has six 1,000 pound bombs.
04:40Oh, so it does actually better.
04:42I think this one has a bigger variety, though.
04:45Because it can mix up with the 500 pound bombs.
04:52So, that's quite good for Britain.
04:55Has this one been changed battle rating?
04:58Oh, it's been moved up to 7. That's good.
05:01I've already seen a few of these in matches, just in B-24s.
05:04And they're battle rating of 5.7.
05:07So, even for me, this is quite good.
05:11Now, the other aircraft.
05:13It was a Ki-43-3i, or 3.
05:18I'll quickly check this out.
05:21It can carry up to two 250 kg bombs.
05:26Let's have a look at it quick.
05:28Oh, wrong button.
05:30Oh, damn it.
05:32Okay, it seems to have frozen up.
05:34Nope, managed to fix it.
05:36Free view.
05:39Right, max speed 366 at 6,000 metres, more or less.
05:43Max altitude at 11,000.
05:46Turn time 16 seconds.
05:48Rate of climb 21.5.
05:51I wonder if two 20mm cannons...
05:54Oh, I thought it was four for a second there.
05:56It looks quite nice.
05:58Two 20mm.
06:00What else does that compare with?
06:02Okay, thank you.
06:04How does that compare with others?
06:07Kind of worse than the Ki-61,
06:10because that at least has two extra machine guns.
06:15Frame rate's actually getting in the way a little bit.
06:18Pretty sure that's four machine guns.
06:22Yeah, four machine guns.
06:24So, better than the 61...
06:26Not quite as good as the Ki-61-HEI,
06:30as far as, you know, my opinion.
06:33Now, here's the other one, the J2M-3 Raiden.
06:37Now, there was a bit of confusion which one we were going to get,
06:40because apparently there was two.
06:42We're getting the later one,
06:44which has the four Type 99 Mk II.
06:48The other one had two Type 99 Mk II
06:52and two Mk I's, or something like that.
06:55But again, 400 miles an hour.
07:00Max speed at 5,300 metres.
07:03Max altitude 12,000.
07:05Turn time 19 seconds.
07:07Rate of climb 13 seconds.
07:09They actually mentioned this about a Schrade music,
07:12the upward-firing guns on this,
07:14but when they mentioned a variant like that,
07:16they haven't added that variant in, from what I can see.
07:19It doesn't seem to have that on it.
07:21So, that's all the new planes so far.
07:27Now, this is a test flight of the Ki-43EI,
07:31just to test it quickly,
07:33and to show you something quite interesting.
07:36Wow, that was actually really quick to get off the ground.
07:39So, two 20mm cannons.
07:42But, more interesting...
07:45X-ray.
07:47Now, we've had this for tanks a little while.
07:51It lets you look at the modules.
07:53It's been in aircraft for a while,
07:55because there was a bit of a glitch
07:57where you could actually activate it
07:59when you weren't meant to,
08:01and it was quickly patched,
08:03but occasionally the game doesn't load very quick.
08:05It's very manoeuvrable.
08:07But, yeah, if the game doesn't load very quick,
08:09you can see the bombs load before the plane, for example.
08:13So, obviously, everything's loaded inside, I think.
08:16Wow, this is... Oh, dear.
08:18Oh, no, no, no.
08:20Oh, no. No, no, no.
08:23Um...
08:25Yeah, I just managed to spin out an aircraft...
08:29in Arcade,
08:31to the point of crashing.
08:34I somehow think that might be a placeholder flight model.
08:37There is no way that is the actual flight model.
08:42There's no way that is the actual flight model.
08:46I'm going to quickly take the G8-N1 out for a test flight
08:50to get a better look at the...
08:53internal workings of the aircraft.
08:56I've taken the G8-N1,
08:58because it's a large aircraft.
09:00It's got more modules.
09:02It's got the gunners as well,
09:04because, you know, I've got to see if it's...
09:06Oh, no, it probably won't.
09:08I was going to try and get one of the gunners killed,
09:10to see if you can see the changes,
09:12but somehow I don't think that's going to work,
09:14unfortunately.
09:16But, um...
09:18Oh, it's gone a bit laggy for a few seconds.
09:21Ah, there we go.
09:24Right.
09:26So what can we see in the aircraft?
09:28Right, you can see our internal engines...
09:30Oh, going off course.
09:33Let's see if I can get it in the air and then have a look.
09:39Oh, just about.
09:41Right, what can we see?
09:43Bit of a stretch to try and...
09:45press two buttons and use the mouse,
09:47and...
09:49three buttons and the mouse.
09:51So you can see the gunner.
09:53You can see all the various gunners in, like,
09:55some weird-looking models.
09:57Um, okay.
09:59You can see the engines.
10:01You can see, like,
10:03it looks like the structures of the wings sort of thing.
10:05Oh, and I think you can see the fuel tanks as well.
10:09Um, not really sure what else we can see here.
10:11Um, well, there'd be more if I was...
10:13if I'm honest.
10:15I don't know if you can see...
10:17are they the bombs?
10:21You can see something at the bomb bay area.
10:25I don't know if they're meant...
10:26I don't know what they are.
10:27Fuel tanks?
10:29Oh, wow.
10:31Maybe that's just my new headphones.
10:33They sound a lot...
10:35cooler than usual.
10:36I don't know if that's something added in,
10:38or just my headphones.
