The P-59 is an event premium jet in War Thunder. It is the lowest BR jet in the game (that I know of) at 5.7.
IRL it was the US's first production jet fighter, but was deemed unsatisfactory for service.
In War Thunder, for some reason, it turns almost exactly like it was made in SimplePlanes (just smoother, of course). I very much doubt this is realistic, but it's funny nonetheless.
Dear god, does that thing turn well. I'm half convinced it's a biplane dressed up in a first-generation jet fighter costume shot up on meth for speed boost.
The slower it gets the better it turns. How is that even possible!?
@ComradeSandman welp...
@BRNavyPilot Can't say I know the look.
@ComradeSandman SB2C Helldiver (>:D), WW2 dive-bomber that replaced the SBD Dauntless. Just google it :D
@BRNavyPilot Which is that again?
I love how the SB2C is just so underrated but when U strap those gunpods in, even with 1000lbs of bombs in the bay it fights like a Spitfire MY God XD
@SCtheONE SB2C be like
@SCtheONE So still more realistic than SP.
It turns well but it BLEEDS energy it's pretty bad after like 2 turns
@Boeing727200F If it were the F-80 wouldn't have been accepted.
@ComradeSandman oh didn't catch that haha
@ComradeSandman yeah but I’m sure it was still better then the F-80
@BOSSentinel What.
@Boeing727200F My comrade in commune the P-59 is most certainly not modelled accurate in WT. The P-59 was not good.
@CaptainNoble I'm joking, but still, it flies really weird.
gaijin being gaijin again 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I doubt that
ok
and somehow the US drops the P-59 program and went with the shitbox F-80.
and the F-80 airframe somehow flew all the way up to 2017 with the Bolivian airforce (T-33).
Link?
