War Thunder Crash landing guide! (Updated)
With the introduction of new damage models making it easier to do belly, crash or emergency landings, I decided to update my previous guide on how to do this, showing how the new damage model works with crash landings.

00:00Hello everybody, Toreno here, and welcome back
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined3
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand structural integrity of the aircraft. So,
00:20it's now a lot easier to crash land
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined7
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlast year. It's actually the third most popular
00:42video on the channel, and so, you know, other
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined11
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedasking if I could do another video because they
01:04were having trouble landing the PBY. The wings
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined15
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthis will be a nice updated version of that video.
01:27Now, a little disclaimer on how I'm testing
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined19
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmodels and all that. I'm going to be doing a
01:48variety of different planes. I'm not going to name
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined23
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedpretty much all of them. So, we're gonna get
02:15a nice little cross-section of all the aircraft
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined27
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbecause most have a fixed undercarriage;
02:37this has a deployable undercarriage. Is it? How's
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined31
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin half. But that is a relatively good way to
03:02stop if you're just trying to come to a slow
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined35
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedstayed on; they haven't taken any damage. So,
03:25that's how the I-153 Chyka takes the crash
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined39
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin historical battles, I would think you have
03:48some sort of place to land. You know, I believe
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined43
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwe're going to see how this goes. First,
04:10it should actually be relatively easy. I can't
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined47
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwould rearm, and I think spawn you in the air,
04:32but maybe it's because I haven't really used any
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined51
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwith a biplane, but not much. I mean,
04:52it's only got the wings, as you can see here,
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined55
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat's one reason not to use your flaps.
05:20But it should be also a lot sturdier, I
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined59
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand get it down to about 70 miles an hour and
05:42try and catch it with the tail hook. We really
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined63
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedpretty easily. You can see they've really made
06:07it a lot easier to do these crash landings slash
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined67
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedalso has, forgotten the name, air brakes. So,
06:32you can use these to lose a lot of speed very
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined71
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedslightly, but not something you particularly want.
06:51So despite this, you would have thought this would
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined75
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtwin-engine fighter or bomber, but you can really,
07:14it's used as a fighter mostly online. But as
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined79
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedproblems. Basically, you can land it perfectly
07:36fine, but the wings seem to get ripped off while
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined83
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto slow down, which is obviously something I don't
07:57want. So you can see that now it's worked this
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined87
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwith that particular plane, or I just got
08:19incredibly lucky while using the Pe-3. But I'll
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined91
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfrom stopping us hitting the ground so quick,
08:44and it should hopefully slow us down as
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined95
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedstart sliding, then the tail just falls off.
09:05Now, retract everything. Now, we did manage to
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined99
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedPe-3, but with the Me 410, it just seems to
09:29work completely differently. But basically,
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined103
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto land is the PBY-5A. Yeah, 5A.
09:51Now, this actually does have gears, and I
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined107
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedIt just falls all over the place. It doesn't gain
10:11any speed, so I'm kind of wondering how this
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined111
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedeasier if you don't have that front wheel out;
10:35it would probably have just hit the ground and,
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined115
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlanding on airfields. I mean, I don't use aircraft
10:56or floatplane, sorry, but yeah, I think you're
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined119
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwheel. So, yeah, you can crash land successfully.
11:25Getting off the ground again or rearming
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined123
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbasically, I kept going into battles with these,
11:45losing my engines and stuff, and four gears.
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined127
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand land on the fuselage really with the Ki-49-2B.
12:11Get our gears up. We're gonna have to try and
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined131
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfigured the one who sort of did have his
12:32head through the floor, so that's probably gone
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined135
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedusing is the Lancaster B
12:52Mark III. And as you can see,
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined139
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfalling off. I don't know why it is, but that just
13:15seems to be the main problem. While testing
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined143
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedup so we don't rip anything off. And there we
13:36go. Any damage? Again, fuselage, again, engines,
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined147
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe tails will just go flying off for no reason.
13:58Now, the next lot of planes we're going to be
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined151
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedyou were a sitting duck. That was easy to destroy.
14:18I actually recorded an attempt to land
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined155
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedI don't have this unlocked properly; I only have
14:38it unlocked for test flights. But basically,
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined159
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedrelatively easy. It's got my landing flaps out,
14:57coming in nice and slow, use it to slow us
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined163
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedI assume that makes you a bit more unbalanced
15:21and, you know, that could just cause a whole lot
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined167
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe Me 262 U4. Basically, it's an Me 262
15:45but with a 50 millimeter cannon. Unfortunately,
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined171
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedLanding flaps, there they go. Now, with the
16:0650 millimeter cannon, we can slow ourselves quite
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined175
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedengines, and oh, that's really odd. I thought the
16:35engines would get ripped off or something, but we
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined179
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat seems a really easy way to land it. So,
16:59there you go. If you want to land your
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined183
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedArado 234 because I don't have many jets unlocked,
17:19and there's two Arados, but they
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined187
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedknow. It looks sort of fragile, but I don't know.
17:40I think the problem is going to be the wings,
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined191
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe flaps in before they get damaged. And
18:02yep, successful landing. Fuel
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined195
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtoo much different with the other jet bombers.
18:24Well, anyway, that's it for today's
undefined:undefined00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,320
undefined:undefined199
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedyeah, thanks for watching. I'll see you next time.
