The BV 155 B-1 in War Thunder is part of the NEW BATTLE PASS. Battle Pass Field Testing looked to be another cash grab but at least we have this Monster!
For what is described is a high altitude fighter it actually does EXTREMELY well close to the ground. With its GIANT wing span the BV155 can out turn mostly everything it will face and with its insane firepower, nothing is really safe from you at all!
Overall, this plane is definitely worth for its unique abilities and weird aesthetics! Super cool! :)

Only if I could buy GE in Japan :(
This vehicle is free Odd so it is not locked behind a paywall :)
Quick correction. This plane is the Battlepass free reward this time around so no need to pay if you only want this thing!
Cheers, Odd! I got your decal :)
please play the T80 and T28e in the USSR 2.3br, they're great fun and you have never done a video on both tanks (52th try)
Fyi, you get less SL because it's a test drive. It's like half for some reason Also thanks for the shout-out :^)
The grind is too easy ~Gajinn
I’m pretty sure you don’t get the premium bonus on a test drive
You said in the video that "it's a shame it's locked behind a paywall", but that plane is the free vehicle of the battle pass so anyone can get it as long as they sell their sanity to reach level 51 instead.
You thought we had sanity I threw that away once a reach br 4.0

OddBawZ meant the battle pass as a whole.
@@hxppythxughts8531 someone call the trumpet squad!
Probably the most interesting vehicle out of the battle pass too. The tank is just copy paste
Odd, I have a suggestion. The Tiny Tim was originally an anti-ship rocket. Take a hellcat into naval and sink ships with a ten foot long rocket.
10 Foot Long Rockets = FUN! 🥳
Tell me when you get past ship automatic AA first
@@josephm164 It's pretty easy if you fly right. And by fly right I mean like a drunken fly that's stuck in a jar. Because the AI always has perfect lead, if you are constantly changing the direction of your nose, it almost never hits. So, don't fly straight, ever, not even for a second, and you will be safe. It looks stupid and you fly a lot slower than normal, but it works.
@@josephm164 You’d be surprised at how many people hav their auto cannons firing at ships instead of planes. It’s really not that hard to hit a ship with the thing when they aren’t even shooting at you.
@@LugborG i always have it for both
3.7... ridiculous turn rate... and pretty damn good cannons. Oh and it's rank 3... yeah it's going to be used for sealclubbing during events

30mm and 20mm in 3.7 sounds about right
@@playerfaiz7054 the duck has that in 2.7
@@playerfaiz7054 We got the P-51 with 4x20mm in 3.0.
@@xeon39688 what are you on about? The duck has none of those things, it just has one big cannon and a few MG's
You flew more than half that first flight without oil. The cooling on this plane is insane.
Look at those big coolers on its wings, are you honestly surprised?
The oil cooling is good but if your at 100% throttle for a while the water temp goes up.
@@NotGrimman The size of the coolers is not important when you have no oil... that oil is what is taking heat out of the engine parts...
So thats what those intakes were for, i was convinced they wernt engines but it didnt occur to me they were for coolant or even hydraulic cooling, i thought that prop would be doing gods work to drag that wingspan through the air.
Its climb rate supposedly increases the higher it gets
That's like a reversed yak then or yak 3 then
makes sense, it's a high altitude fighter
I mean its supposed to be like P-47/P-51 a high altitude fighter
So something like the Mig-3 then?
Climb rate still goes down, but at a lower rate than other fighters. At high alt it can still climb higher while others struggle to fly.
This video is single handedly going to make the plane go to 4.7
yep thats why i hate theses videos
its at 12.7 now
I'm always so impressed by your battlefield awareness, and knowing what the other guy is going to do before he does it. True experience.
I was skeptical about this odd plane at first and now it's the first battle pass vehicle I've wanted since about 3 BPs ago!! Also keep up the great work odd, I have been here since the start and it awesome to see you channel growing so much!!
The only battle pass plane and tank I own are the F2G-1 and T-10A, I think (besides the PT76-57) those are the only vehicles worth it. The F2G is so good especially at 6.0. I’ve easily caught up to ME262 and Arados and you can WEP for days without raising your oil temperature.
@@Aidan-fw1xr nice, I have those ones too and love them
Wait, you do realise the armoured target* belts for the 20mm are APHE, with the same pen, they were buffed from only 19mm of pen quite recently besides, great video! Edit* The full belt has APHE (mostly) for amrmored targets sorry
Ever played with the Ju-87 G1?? That plane got such a huge calibre twin gun!! It’s so epic to play with that. Try it out please
He has
I try to get kills at 5.0-5.7
Do be loving those 12 shots
Kanonvogel
What about the Ju-87 D-5 with x12 7.92mm mgs
I got to play with a few on my team yesterday. Looks like loads of fun! Well done, man.
I still cannot comprehend how that long of a wing could withstand the high turn rate and have smaller turn radius
I mean, it seems dumb but also it kinda makes sense. In the Meteor lineup, the versions with longer wings turn better, as an example (though I'm not sure if the same applies for normal Spitfires and clipped-wing versions).
That's because it's ridiculous warthunder physics. In 1944, this plane would not be able to withstand that level of turn, especially with those two enormous radiators and guns in its wings. Warthunder just made up the specs and its ability. Only a few test flights were ever done and on one of them its wings snapped on landing. The Ta 152H, it's closest equivalent that saw service, has a dubious combat record, but in its first engagement one of them had its wings fail in the turn and it plowed into the ground. in all likelihood, the plane couldn't pull the forces that the game claims. Yes theoretically the large wings are great for turning but in actuality there was a reason why no one else used anything like it. Wunderwaffe nonsense.
@@pluemascope
@@radudobinda8626 what does this even mean in this context? Cope with the fact that the planes sucked? I'm not even complaining about it in game I'm just informing someone that the real versions couldn't do what it is depicted as, answering his question. How is providing someone an answer cope? In game it's a fun, if op at 3.7, plane with a trait that the common German planes don't have.
@@pluemas seethe
Yeesssssss! A close air support plane video!!! My favorite odd! Good to see ya thanks for the vid.
Love the content m8 and the sportsmanship and shouting out DEFYN was pretty cool too
You need to climb like a jet with this. The whole point of your cooling being so powerful is that your engine can SCREAM at 130% power all the time. Get fast on the deck and let the big angelic wings take you to 2-3km at a 35* angle. 3km is ~9000 feet, WELL into low density air and what would be considered high altitude for the time.
Yup, now stop giving away secrets lol.
You didn't just actually tell people to climb like a jet. in a prop with the speed of a biplane. It goes 450kph at SL By the time you pitched enough to reach 35 degrees you're already stalled out.
BABE, WAKE UP, ODDBAWZ POSTED AGAIN!
SOUND THE ALARM EVERYONE ODD POSTED
THROW THE BABY OUT THE WINDOW SO WE CAN HEAR WHAT HE SAYS
Nice gaijin , you make a better turn fighter out of the BV 155 than a Bf109 . With that enormous wings and a horrible climb rate for a high altitude fighter , this thing got 1800hp . The stats of this plane are the complete opposite as irl , well nobody will fly 16.000m high but that turn rate is insane .
Oooo I had never heard of that plane before - not just not in War Thunder but I never heard of it in real life either. It's a super unique and cool looking plane, especially if BawZ was being literal when he said it was a single-seater with nearly the wingspan of a B17. Surprised it hadn't gotten more attention before.
Absolute monster on Ground RB in good hands!!! Excelent play!
If I remember correctly, I heard at some point that if you're using a test drive, it doesn't give the 2x rp booster from the built in tailsman. So in theory at least that should've been a little over 140k sl
Odd, great videos! I’m learning alot about tanks from you, thanks. One remark you could maybe use: set a key for “Feather propeller”. You could use it in moments like at 9:53, when your engine is out and you just need to glide a bit longer. You get way less drag that way. Cheers for your videos, awesome stuff!
You could also enable MEC and turn prop pitch to 0%
Something beautiful about watching that Hurricane fly, even if you did shoot it down. Stunning aircraft
Amazing video as always 👍
The only vehicles i accidentally got by reaching lvl 50-51 from the BP was the F2G and that French P51. This one I might actually work for
i love when a scott is talking german sounds pretty good 😅 love your videos even if i dont play this game by myself
this is a video i didnt know i wanted ty
Read a lot about this plane. One of the most interesting (if not the most interesting) Bf-109 derivate.
It’s not Messerschmitt
@@Miles26545 Originally it was developed by Messerschmitt, but the Reichsluftfahrtministerium transferred the project to Blohm & Voss
Hey Bawz its actually the free reward from the battle pass!
i love the little clips at the start
Great one Odd
Great Video BAWZ!!
This thing looks like a blast can't wait to unlock it
Hey ODd Chan you check out the Daimler armored car against panthers and panzer IVs? I discovered its still very effective against them
Bro thanks for the comments on my back gunning skills man! xD It's quite funny seeing myself in one of my favourite wt youtubers videos.
My tea (that was once appple juice before watching a Squire vid) turned into beer after that plane came into view during this video. I need to get me one of those planes!
Love the videos, keep it coming! 😎
Yesterday i encounted a bv155 in the 3.3 P-51 and it was the most fun dog fight I've had in a while.
That is one interesting looking plane. Seems to be pretty damn good. I wonder if that's a bug? XD
10:00 the prop doesnt snap when the engine is already dead 👍
its cool and all and now there is something reasonable to counter the p50.. ill just keep using my brigand and absolutely smiting them in headons though.. wish i had the time to actually grind one of these out it looks super fun
I think test drive rentals of aircraft dont use the whole sl and rp modifiers until you unlock it fully, like, it limits the output and when you unlock it the full sl modifier is used
Damn odd ballz is a great pilot
Odd, I don't think the red shell is an AP-HE, you're talking about the white one which got buffed and now pierce as much as the red shell but DO have HE filler ^^. Anyways, love your vids as always
Odd getting 13 kills in his first game, whilst I, am struggling to get one and actually make a profit: :I
Sounds like me on nearly anything I play...I find myself often all by myself and no enemies in sight ...until I get tired of waiting and move only to get shot from across the map. 🤦
That plane looks awesome!
If you enjoy this, should try out the TA-154 at a slightly higher BR. More cannons, more ammo, and a bit faster, though lacking the maneuverability.
I main Italy, namely the G.55S and G.56, I realized for most countries the Universal ammo is the best to choose. Close enough AP rounds to kill from the top and it's got rounds for dealing with planes.
1:02 that was smooth ngl
Yeeeeees! Finally! I love this plane!
I test flew it and found out its a great glider.I climbed to 12500 meters and glided 35km with a crap ton of speed left which i had t bleed im surr it could have done 50 km. But it climbs slowly so it takes about 30 mins to get to its max speed altitude
That fighters got wingspan for days!
"I can't make it (to the airfield)" dude, you have a high aspect wing, of course you made it.
Blohm und Voss consinstently building the most deranged aircraft of the war.
man BV-155 has a wacky story ngl... from a naval fighter plane for the Graf Zeppelin to a answer for the B-29 super fortress
Oddbawz!!! Your too damn funny. Love the videos.
"Was ist das Odd? Are you talking Scheiße?" XD
thanks for the red arrow i wouldn't have found the video otherwise
This plane is absolutely gorgeous
that thing is even playable until 6.7 where the first jets appear but the turn rate of this this is gorgeous
This plane also has no fuel tanks modeled in game, and a lotta empty space internally, you basically have to rip it apart to shoot it down
me bombing the enemy Airfield are one of the most air-based maps ever🤣🤣nice
*THE WINGS JUST KEEP GOING*
this thing looks so fun
For some reason this thing really reminds me of the ornithocheirus from the series walking with dinosaurs, it’s something about the way the wings look and how it appears from the front, especially in a dive.
I can see that, but personally it reminds me more of an albatross (the bird, not the plane).
10:09 Fun fact: Your propellers won't get damaged if the engine is already fully dead. Do you think Italy's map for ground RB is biased towards your side's spawn when related to getting home with a damaged aircraft?
That thing is a nightmare to hit when unexperienced as SPAA Player. very satisfying to see that thing crumble when ya hit him tho XD
ODD saves the day
I went head on with one of these in a Typhoon, it didn't end well...
such a cool plane
The proportions of this plane are like a Phly Daily cursed thumbnail.
number 18 on the puma freaked me out a little xd
Hey odd love the videos
Wow what an epic battle! Almost lost even with 15 kills…lol
love your vids
First time I ran into this thing I thought it was a bomber because it was so high up and it shot me down because I let it go lol
Hmm, this thing seems to have an insane power-to-weight ratio. I can see them maybe adjusting the FM later or raising BR. For now it seems just much better than the Beaufighters/Mosquitos for example
Beaufighters? People actually fly those in air RB?
i've found its optimal climb speed to be 200km/h IAS, it also doesnt stall until 130km/h IAS
This Thing is a godly dogfighter, i managed to pull off 21G with it many Times
when the bo was added i just saw the orange light
They are suprisingly easy to counter. Because of its roll they seem to have trouble in headons.
Time for my annual WT month long, event escaping, vacation!
Hey bawz you know what else has the mg151, the he 162
Just what the game needs, another plane that smacks ground forces. Designed as a high altitude bomber interceptor, but in this game is a CAS monster... Just like the various "night fighters" that are CAS beasts in game, but not really. Oh well, it's meta I guess.
The roll on that thing is better than the Typhoon at least
LETS GOO ODDBAWZ
Video suggestion - play The German Captured Kv-2 or Normal Kv-2 (or Brummbär, Sturmpanzer II or any HE Vehicle) At Top tier
It’s strange how that things supposed to be a high altitude fighter with such a low climb rate, making it take ages and burn a ton of fuel just to actually reach high altitude. It’s also odd that it wasn’t equipped with any .30 caliber (or the German equivalent) machine guns to be able to remain in the fight longer before needing to land for rearming.
So this thing is the ultimate turn fighter
ive named this thing the long long wing, in the style of that long long man japanese ad
....BAWZ! IVE HAD SO MANY PLANES SCRAPE that cliff b4 tank spawn that I've had to level off and BUZZ OUR SPAWn just to be so low I bomb my self on a c or b cap clear
Am I the only one who pauses when he says that he sees an enemy plane coming for him just to look for the enemy but can't find shit?
Basically it's an upgraded version of Stuka.
I just want to know how does the enjin overheat with those radiators. Great vid odd
The answer is "they didn't". Every single test flight had issues with its cooling system requiring them to be repaired.
@@pluemas Hahaha
I LOVE YOUR GERMAN IT SOUNDS SO NICE
What a nice 6.3 plane because of Ground RB.
You mean like all the undertiered ground pounders due to air RB?
Yesss, I tried asking Phly to take this out too but, he never saw my comment. Great video, Odd. o7
great video
how have you gotten this already? ive been grinding since the start and am only lvl 20
