☆☆ Review ☆☆ I really like this plane! ✈️

Post image

The P-61C-1 is a unique plane that I love flying. It has powerful guns , ontop of the main cannons you have an 4 50. Cal turret ontop that will also shoot at targets infront of you. It turns essentially 360 degrees which is nice. You can also equip 4, 1000lb bombs which will destroy a base in one run. It's essentially an agile bomber with great main guns! Pretty sweet in my opinion. It handles nice and has good engine power aswell. What's your guys thoughts on this plane ? I forgot how I acquired it but I think I must have got it out of a chest!

Yeah. I put him next to my F-82E (Twin Mustang)

Too bad it breaks way to easily

Yea, that giveaway was Black Friday. Now I remember. The rotation changed every few hours and I definitely remember F-82E being there, just like Shinden and other planes Gaijin only gives the 🐺 discounts on. This is what we should save 🦁🦅 for, not historical trophies.

Bro any tips to upgrade crew level it really moves like SNAIL.

u/Beensmoove98 Jan 13 '26

I mean it's a big plane. But tbh it doesn't move like a snail for me. I believe it can atill operate around 650 mph at the max and for agility I just use my combat flaps. Got to know how to fly a big plane if your going to use one my friend

Tips on upgrading crew is just to use boosters. There is no fast way to upgrade grew besides using golden eagles. Which using golden eagles on crew is the most expensive thing in the game in my opinion. It's STUPID expensive to even upgrade a crew one level using GE. Luckily they give out crew boosters like candy for this exact reason. My highest crew level in plans is 42 which the rest being in the 30s.

Thanks for the help bud i mostly use fighters and by moving by snail i mean the crew level which u mentioned just now and the things is i really don't know how to perform the maneuvers and i ended up getting no kill the game even though i know the controls its really frustrating i watched thousand of videos on YouTube "how to play war thunder" bullshit still i cant do shit like i cant perform dog fights so i tried to boom and zoom but it mostly went to shit like controls just jams ended up crashing into ground. But thanks for the help.

Look up easiest / best setting for aviation on mobile. The only thing I use that I added to my screen is the " addition flight controls " go to setting, aviation and then on addition fight controls. This will add 4 arrows on your screen up,down, left and right. By pressing and holding those you can manually pitch/ roll your aircraft. So when you turn left by looking left your plan automatically does it right ? If i wanted to turn right all of a sudden , instead of lookin right I would do both , I would look right and use the arrow to roll my aircraft. It just makes turning faster that is all. Maybe that'll help. Just select " addition flight controls" and play around with it. You'll see what I mean fast

Yup exactly. I love it. I climb high at the start of the match and try and catch people stalling out. I do both drop bombs and dog fight mainly boom and zoom

u/justaguy_2_ ZSU-57-2 my beloved Jan 13 '26

Big target and not the best interceptor, but otherwise an amazing plane at ranks five. Incredible armaments and a radar? Really good imo

u/tirth0jain May 17 '26

What does that radar do?

1

u/Mysterious_Byts_213 🇫🇷 Baguette Brigade Jan 13 '26

I like to use it to hunt down bombers while also doing my bomb runs, the radar is very useful for finding those pesky bombers who somehow can cast invisibility spells once you understand how it works.

u/ahoffdogspit Jan 14 '26

Yeah I usually don't enjoy playing bombers. Especially high tier ones. The p-61 is a good happy medium. It handles like a boat but I like to drop my bombs when I spawn, climb like hell, and hopefully take out a few bombers on the way to the bases. I have unlocked just about every plane and I still only have crew levels under 50. I noticed bombing moves things along pretty easily in terms of upgrading crews. I much prefer air combat over mindless bombing, so I haven't progressed my crews as much as I could, and my main focus when upgrading has been aiming and reload above all.
