Today we take our first look at some of the new vehicles of the Patch 1.43 Dev Server, mainly focusing on the new aircraft.  Apologies if the video seems a bit rushed, the Dev Server was only open for a limited time and some of the footage frankly wasn't up to scratch, but will try and bring more footage when I can.

00:00Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of War Thunder.

00:03Um, this is the dev server finally, um, I had a lot of troubles getting into the last one,

00:08basically had to download some files, a lot of people were having trouble,

00:12dev server was announced as cancelled, but then opened anyway, and it closed midway through me

00:17doing the video for it, so um, because I only found out at the last second it hadn't actually

00:21closed. I'd actually, actually did a power, how long video of this, um, just, literally just

00:27finished, but it was just so long-winded, I've just scrapped it all, I'm just redoing it, um,

00:32just gonna, you know, cut all the unnecessary stuff, just focus on, you know, the important

00:36stuff like the planes. Um, we'll start off with the R2Y2, um, KAI, KAI-V1. It's technically a

00:45jet bomber, but um, four 30mm cannons, and only one bomb. An 800kg bomb, but still only one bomb.

00:52Um, I can tell this being used as more of a ground attack aircraft slash

00:56heavy fighter, or fighter, um, speed 538mph, and there are four, um, sorry, three of these,

01:06all doing about 538mph, all with very slight differences. P1 has underwing, um, engines.

01:14V2, um, I can't test fly these, because unfortunately I haven't unlocked them yet,

01:19um, you know, tier 5s, but V2, um, two engines at the back, same weaponry as far as I can tell,

01:28and the V3, um, which looks, oddly enough, like a MiG, um, I don't know if it's just me,

01:35but um, it looks a bit like a MiG-15, if it'll load up. Yeah, looks a bit like a MiG for me.

01:43Uh, very capable aircraft by the looks of it, and it'll definitely be a big boost for Japan in the

01:49higher tiers. Um, we've also got the Kitsuka, unfortunately again, can't test fly it, I

01:55probably won't test fly any of the aircraft really, because um, like I said the last,

01:59I did this video before, and it actually wound up for over an hour long. Now, um,

02:04538mph, so about the same as the KAIs, only one 30mm cannon, but it can upgrade to two,

02:12like the G6 can. So I think that'll be, yeah, I don't know if this'll be much good of an aircraft.

02:18It's based on the Me 262, but it wasn't as good as, if I remember, um, so, and only two 30mm

02:26cannons, so, yeah, it'd be a welcome boost to Japan, but I don't think this is going to be

02:30that great an aircraft. Also got the J7W1, anyone who's played, um, Battle Station specific will

02:38probably know about this. Um, you actually unlocked it really early on in the game, um,

02:43it was weird, because you could, um, after the third mission, if you replayed Pearl Harbor,

02:47you could swap the zeroes out for these, and, yeah, it looked very weird seeing these, um,

02:52flying over Pearl Harbor. Um, 393mph, top speed, four 30mm cannons, so, again, this'll be quite

03:00good for Japan's top tier prop planes, um, they've definitely needed something like that.

03:06The A6M5's been moved down, which is good, because it probably shouldn't have been tier

03:11four anyway. Bad, because now I, I'm not in tier four. I'd, um, one aircraft unlocked in tier

03:19four, a G5N1, and the A6M, I was, yeah, the A6M5 was going to be my tier four, other tier four,

03:28but, um, yeah. But on the bright side, it's been folded in with the A6M5 Otsu, so, um,

03:35won't have to bother researching that. Japan also got, um, premium B-17A, and it got the

03:43Ki-43-1, um, trying to get the modifications. Now, interestingly, you can swap out the machine

03:51guns. You can either have two 7.7mm, one 7.7mm, and a 12.7mm, or just two 12.7mm.

04:01So, it's good they're giving us a lot more options with regards to armaments. You saw it

04:05in the Kika as well, or was it Kitsuka? Kitsuka, sorry. Um, they did label it Kika in some of the

04:11development notes. Um, 306 miles an hour is the top speed. Um, we got the Ki, yeah,

04:17you got the Ki-27. I'm just checking the, well, 43 can't take bombs, I don't think.

04:24Ki-27, wow, clicking the wrong place. Two 7.7mm machine guns, and a top speed of 308 miles an

04:33hour. Um, let me just check over the Kitsuka and J-7W-1 again.

04:40Ah, so the Kitsuka can take 800kg bombs as well. So, yeah, sort of double up as a fighter

04:46bomber if you need to. Uh, J-7W-1 can take four 60kg bombs, um, so pretty useless. And the B-17A,

04:57now we were told it would get Japanese bombs, but it seems to have American bombs,

05:00I don't know if that's a placeholder or something, but, yeah, that's rather

05:06annoying. I was hoping it would get the, you know, Japanese bombs like they said. Um,

05:10there was a lot of controversy over the B-17, because all the premiums seemed to be basically

05:14lend, lease, or captured aircraft. But, what can you do? And, moving on to the British,

05:20got the Venom FV4. 534 miles per hour at sea level, can carry 8 rockets and 2 500lb bombs,

05:31or 2 1000lb bombs, or 2 500lb bombs and 8 rockets. Um, it's not loading up in a minute,

05:39but it slows it down by like 140 miles with the rockets and bombs, and, um, 160 with the 2000lb

05:45bombs. Um, can't swap out its cannon, um, gets four 20mm cannons. So, that'd be good for the

05:53British top tiers. The one before it, the Vampire FV5, well they're both about the same speed,

06:00although the stat cards are misleading from what I understand. Also got the Canberra B-Mark II,

06:07the first British jet bomber in the game. 537 miles per hour at 6,000 meters,

06:14can carry up to 6,000lb bombs, either 6 1,000lb bombs, or 1 4,000lb bomb and 2 1,000lb bombs.

06:23It's a very nice looking jet. But, um, quickly moving on to the,

06:30well moving on to the Lancaster B-Mark III, um, this is what we've got in the game at the moment.

06:37But, it's got the .250 caliber weapons in a new turret at the back, rather than the 4 7.7. Um,

06:47I don't know why it was changed, there was a lot of complaints I think. But, main difference,

06:5314 1,000lb bombs, 2 250lb bombs, 6 1,000lb bombs, and a 1 4,000lb bomb. Um, yeah. It's going to

07:08cause a lot of complaints if they don't up the base hit points. Um, oh god, that's going to

07:14cause a lot of problems. Got the Lancaster Mark I, B-Mark I, um, I don't know if it's a bit slower,

07:21must be, I think it was the main production model, but, um, yeah it's a bit slower. But,

07:25this has basically got the same armament as what we have now. Um, same bomb loadout from what I can

07:31tell. Just bring up the preview so we can have a little look at it. Yeah, pretty much looks the

07:39same as the normal one I think, or the Mark III. Um, I'm trying to remember what else Britain got,

07:45um, and, um, Catalina Mark IV, I forgot about that. Um, same as the American one, um,

07:53I think 3 12.7mm machine gun to the, I don't know if it's got extra gun turrets, or,

08:00well I must be imagining things I think actually. Um, I think it's pretty much the same as the

08:04American one, you know, slenderly. Four 1,000lb bombs could cause a few problems in the lower

08:09tiers, although Catalinas in general used to be quite a problem in lower tiers when the game first

08:14came out, but, um, that was all fixed thankfully. Now Russia, um, got their R-28 here, probably the

08:22main, you know, aircraft brought in for them. Two 23mm cannons at the front, and a turret with two

08:2923mm cannons, and 537mph speed. This is probably going to be superior to the Canberra, um, in some

08:37ways, because obviously it can defend itself, and attack, and it has a decent bomb load, um,

08:43but also just a Canberra. A 3,000kg bomb, could be used for taking out bases quickly, diving in,

08:50dropping its bomb load, handing off any fighters, shooting down any that get in the way. There's the

08:56turret, looks kind of similar to the B-17's turret, um, only a bit different scale. Yeah,

09:04it could cause a few problems. Um, what else did Russia get? The AK-9, 359mph, 120mm cannon,

09:13two 12.7mm, sorry, and the AK-1, 359mph, 120mm cannon, two 7.62mm machine guns,

09:25and an I-16 Type 5. Seems about the same as the other ones, just only two machine guns.

09:32Also got the P-47D-27, the Lend-Lease aircraft again, but, um, pretty much the same as the

09:38American ones, um, I believe. Um, yeah, the D-28, um, I haven't unlocked it myself,

09:44or I haven't got it myself, but, um, seems pretty much the same, as far as I can tell.

09:51D-27, oh, the American one's D-28, so, maybe some slight differences, but, um,

09:56yeah, it shouldn't be anything too major. Um, just click it, see if there's

10:02information on it. No, they haven't added any. See if we get the bomb load.

10:09Oh, it gets an okay bomb load. Not the best in the world, but, okay enough, I suppose.

10:16Let's, um, 2500kg, yeah, that's probably an okay bomb load, I suppose. No, I mean,

10:23it's probably just the pounds, but converted into kilos or something.

10:28And we've got the Germans here. Now the plane everyone's been looking, well, waiting for,

10:32the Halton 229 V3. Two 30mm cannons, and 538mph top speed. And this panel that's open for some

10:42reason. I noticed this when I was actually recording the oven video, I don't know if

10:46they're all in certain states of maintenance, or being repaired, or something. Because there

10:51was a few, like, little openings and stuff that just didn't look right. But, yeah,

11:00I've heard this has quite slow acceleration. I can't actually test it, because I haven't

11:03got tier 5 aircraft, of course, but it could cause a few problems in the higher tiers,

11:08I could say, possibly. Well, you know, not problems, but, you know, give the Germans

11:12a bit of an advantage. Now the only other normal aircraft Germany got was the Bocke-Wulf 190 A4.

11:21405mph max speed, four 20mm cannons, and two machine guns. The 20mm cannons are different

11:29ones. One's 151, one's an FFM, I think. One might have the mine slot. Let me try and...

11:40Yeah, one has the mine slot. Oh, they both have it. I don't know, what's the difference then?

11:45One has more ammo, maybe fires faster, I don't know. Check the Horton 229 again, actually.

11:52Can't carry any bombs, I was wondering if it could. Obviously it can't. Does the Bocke-Wulf

11:58190 A4 carry any? Nope. The only other aircraft Germany got was the Yak-1B. We'll just preview

12:05it for the, you know, so you can see the skin. Which is pretty nice, although I'd have kept

12:10the star for some reason. I'd have tried to rub it out, but not succeeded, hopefully. That's a bit

12:15of a silhouette, or indent, or something. The F-109 G2 with the Romanian livery, or camouflage.

12:26And a little writing on the side. And what else was it? It was a Tempest Mark V, which

12:34also caused a bit of an outlaw on the forums, because a few people were saying,

12:38oh, it wasn't captured. And a lot of people were just in the way that all the premiums

12:42are basically captured aircraft, or Mendeleevs. But most of the hate was for the Japanese B-17.

12:49We've also got the Americans. Now, where's the F7F1, that's what I was looking for.

12:59I did test fly this in my other video, but like I said, I'm going to try and keep this short.

13:03Four 20mm cannons, and four .50 caliber machine guns. And it can carry a 1000lb bomb,

13:12and two 500lb bombs. And it goes 423mph. Faster than the J7W1, if I can find it.

13:24Yeah, there's probably going to be a lot of complaints about that.

13:28Yeah, that's going to be the new Bowfighter of the High Tiers, I can tell. Except it'll be

13:32maneuverable, and, well, probably be maneuverable, and, you know, fast. Very fast.

13:40The other main aircraft America got was the B-57A, which is basically a Canberra. It's

13:46basically got the same bomb load, just with, it can't take the 4000lb bomb, so it's just stuck

13:52the 4000lb bomb, so it's just stuck with the two bomb loads. Which I suppose is okay.

13:59I think it's the same speed and everything, just sort of different camouflage, really.

14:06What was it, the premiums it got? It got the Ki-61B. I believe this is the late version,

14:12because, like I said, there was a bit of, well, probably one complained about it,

14:17because I don't think, it was called Ki-B-late or something.

14:24Sorry, I've just realised I've looked at the completely wrong aircraft, sorry about that.

14:29It was the Ki-43-2B, 2, that was called the 2-late. It's not called that on here for some

14:35reason, but, yeah, that's the captured Japanese aircraft. It's obviously the rising sun circles

14:44in it. Now, what was the other aircraft they captured? I've got to be double sure this time.

14:50The 190A-8. I'll actually check the patch notes this time. So, yeah, another captured premium.

15:02I am a bit disappointed that they're mostly premiums. Premiums are mostly captured aircraft.

15:07Especially when the Germans, well, they have the A-8. Oh yeah, they do have the A-8. It's

15:12a bit disappointing that they have to do all captured aircraft, especially for Japan. I don't

15:18know why they're getting a B-17 when Germany doesn't even have a heavy bomber. Well, they

15:23carry good bombs, but they don't, you know, no four-engine aircraft. Japan has two, and then

15:28they still get a B-17. It just seems a little ridiculous. I'm not really going to go into too

15:36much detail about the tanks. They've had some self-propelled anti-aircraft guns added. I will

15:42talk about the armor module that's been added. So, basically, you put the arrow over a certain

15:54point, and it tells you its thickness, the armor, the angle, and what its effective thickness is.

16:00So, here, 250 millimeters, but effective thickness is 260. And x-ray shows you where all the

16:10different modules are. Radiator, fuel tanks, transmission, ammo rack, or ammo. Now, I'm not

16:17going to go into too much detail about the Germans, like I said. Oh, Marder 3, Stug 3G,

16:24Panzer 4J, Panzer 3J, they're the ones I remember off the top of my head. This premium,

16:30self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, KV-1B, probably a few others. Panzer 2H, which has a 50 millimeter

16:37gun. And Russians. I will look at one Russian aircraft tank. I'll show you in a minute. The

16:46other ones I got, T-54, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. I don't think they really got any other ones

16:52other than that, I could be wrong. But here's the one I'm looking forward to. It's the only one I'll

16:57test drive, actually. The T-35. Top speed, 17 miles an hour. But it has two 45 millimeter cannons,

17:09a 76 millimeter cannon, and two machine guns, when they're added into the game. Let's show x-ray.

17:15And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, bloody crewmen. Oh, Jesus.

17:24Yeah, this is the only one I'll test drive, just because it just looks so hilarious.

17:30I test drove it in the other video that I was doing. It is, well, slow. It was actually

17:39rather annoying. I hated it. Well, well moving anyway. When I've tried firing,

17:47firing a broadside, yes I will call it a broadside, because frankly, with that many guns,

17:51it probably qualifies more as a battleship than a tank. If you fire them all at the same time,

17:58you're probably not going to hit the bloody target, because obviously,

18:03they're all a bit out from each other, and different calibers, different muzzle velocities.

18:12I'm just trying to zoom in.

18:16I'm reloading my different guns by mistake, sorry about that.

18:21I'm just going to quickly check my controls. Sorry about that, it seems when I actually

18:25paused the controls to get through the controls, I accidentally ended the video.

18:31Yeah, basically, long story short, it's not really working. There's a premium in this tank anyway,

18:38so I won't really need the controls set up, but one last try at doing it.

18:44Right, I think I've finally done it, possibly. Right, now let's see if we can get this working.

18:53Has the gun slowly turned to the target? Commander shouted, fire! Okay.

19:03And the smoke cleared, and he gave an order for another round of fire. Oh, no he didn't,

19:10because he stupidly forgot the right button for the secondary weapon was attached to the

19:17zoom in button. So, after pausing the video and redoing it,

19:23let's make sure we're zoomed in. Main gun, ready,

19:31and yeah, I just give up at this. It's obviously broken, well not actually aimed,

19:38that might explain some of the problem. Right, I'm probably going to have to cut out most of this.

19:46Oh, that's a bit better. Still completely pointless, since they're completely off target,

19:50but maybe this will have a use afterwards, the War Thunder version of the TOG-2, except

19:57completely unarmoured and completely useless. Yeah, that's probably going to take up more of

20:02the videos than the actual reviews. A lot of other stuff, there's a race I did in my last video,

20:07I might add that in at the end of this. Other stuff, got the hangar, it's sort of a mix of

20:13the what we had before, because it used to be inside the hangar, which did look a bit different.

20:21Obviously now we're outside the hangar, and they got rid of the old runway, so a mix of the old

20:26and the new. I kind of preferred the runway, I mean this one just looks like it's a road,

20:30it doesn't look like it can take a flight plane barely. Got new interface events,

20:36you know, like the race, Skies for Heroes, all that sort of stuff. Play with friends,

20:42and all that. I should mention this server's profile is a bit behind, like you can see,

20:50it's level 34 here, I'm actually level 35 on the live server. Because when you go on friends,

20:56that one was empty, whereas I've actually added a few since then, since level 34.

21:03Got some new missions, Norwegian Campaign and Spanish Civil War. Might have got some other

21:08missions, but I can't see them when I've looked through. What else is there to add? Oh, very

21:16important addition, go to the Yacht 9T. Golden Eagles are now done proportionally, even if you

21:23had one point to go, you'd have to spend the whole cost of Golden Eagles. Now, half of it's

21:33done, so we only spend half the Golden Eagles on it, so definitely a welcome addition if you ask

21:38me. Oh, I've got stuff to add into this, quickly show the race between now and the end. Alright,

21:47so, quickly get rid of the bombs and rockets, to battle. I don't know if we can shoot other

21:53aircraft. Keep my ammo on stealth, just in case. Race starts in 8, 6, there was only 5 of us.

22:05Oh, we've already stopped. Bloody hell. Why is it going back? Come on. Oh, I've gone the wrong way.

22:21Oh dear. Still, I didn't crash. No, but I just missed the checkpoint for a second time. Oh,

22:28great. 154 checkpoints, please tell me that's a joke.

22:32Tell me that's a very, very, very cruel joke. Or, tell me that's something someone set up anyway.

22:42Oh, maybe I can... Oh, I still technically made it. Yeah, you can tell I'm not very good at this.

22:52What? I have to pay eagles to bloody join the match again?

22:55Oh, bloody. Oh, God. Ah! Come on. We can make it. Oh, God. Come on. Through the gaps. Oh,

23:15Jesus. We're 22 seconds behind everyone. But, we could make it, if we're extremely quick.

23:23Still can't fire. So, we're not going to blow the opposition away that way.

23:30Oh, ah. Oh, that's a lag. I'm not going to do all 154 bloody checkpoints, but yeah, you can see

23:40basically how much, you know, how it works. Sorry it wasn't a particularly good demonstration.

23:46But, yeah, that's how it works basically.

23:53I didn't earn anything, because our mission failed and all that. But, yeah, that's how races work

24:00for the most part, by the looks of it. So, that's the dev server. There are obviously a lot more

24:07changes to the game. I think replays have been changed, flight models and all that.

24:12But, I'll leave a link to the preliminary 1.43 patch notes, the updated versions.

24:17But, obviously, this is just dealing with the dev server really, you know, the noticeable changes.

24:24So, well, thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed this rather haphazard and rushed video.

24:30Like I said, the dev server is only open for a few hours, so I like to rush this all through.

24:36But, yeah, thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed it. Like the video if you liked it.

24:40Subscribe if you like these sort of videos. Leave feedback. I could always do with more feedback.

24:44And, well, I'll see you next time. Thank you for watching.
