SM.92 In War Thunder : A Basic Review

Taking a look at the SM.92 in War Thunder. In this vid, we look at the real-world history of the aircraft, its in-game weapon systems, flight performance, and combat tactics to use it effectively out in matches. This actually ended up being a really good plane, despite the poor reputation of twin engined prop fighters in-game.

==============================
I'm all over the place!

Thing with the bombs is you dont actually have to compromise. It gets custom loadouts, and you can take the 2 500s and the 6 100s at the same time.

thank you for doing more of these low to upper mid tier vehicle reviews these are by far the most interesting and diverse BRs in the game and no one has in-depth, talked about or reviewed these vehicles within the last 7 years

[onezerotwo]

one other fun side note: the SM.91 and SM.92 are utter terrorists in AB, that the SM.91’s gigantic burst mass means you can win every head on and SM.92 has big guns and with the AB speed/climb/engine crutch fights like a regular fighter. I love these two freak planes so I had to try ‘em everywhere. :D

I love this thing. The Italian tree continues to surprise with hidden prop era gems

[randomexcessmemories]

I honestly prefer many elements of its predecessor, such as the visuals, better offensive armament, and better defensive turret, but this has better suspended armament and better flight performance. Hard to choose.

I've even heard some people say this is the XP-50 of the italian tree, so i was looking foward to this review. I guess that really does compute lol, great review.

[ODST_Parker]

Great performance for a heavy prop, and very heavy firepower to take advantage of it. Custom loadouts also gave this thing a boost in the ground attack department, since it can carry everything together now.

One of my best accomplishments in Air RB is actually managing to get a kill with this thing's tailgun!

[mey.tomhero]

Another great review!

I admit I wasn’t expecting much from it either but it’s nice to hear that it had grown on you Tim! I’ll have to go unlock this thing to give it a try myself!

[swtpnkckie]

thanks for the great content, also nice landing supprised that the props didnt break

[ironfox]

Sm.91 and 92 were my favorite planes going through the Italian tech tree. You can catch a lot of people off guard by the flight performance.

[TheGrace]

Another Tim banger 😻love silly planes like this 😼

[rainsilent]

Slightly annoying fact. If the SM92 had the same min fuel load of the 91 it would be better than the 91 in every performance metric. Better climb, turn, top speed, everything. With an hour of fuel it climbs slightly worse and turns slightly worse because it is carrying an extra ~500lbs of fuel. Many props actually suffer with their min fuel loads truly being excessive and the 92 is one of the props that actually suffers the most.

Interesting that you didn't mention that the engines can get knocked out if the props are hit by gunfire. I'm curious if they have fixed that since the last time I flew the 92.

I love how this thing wins dogfights against overconfident Mustangs and Corsairs.

[SoThisIsMyCat]

Thank youuu! I really needed this to see if it was better to continue with the stuka or try to get something better

[cmdrTremyss]

If only there were a version with no useless tailgun and no useless gunner (using up space, adding drag and extra weight)

[NeuKrofta]

I love this thing in Sim. Gunner view helps with situational awareness so the funky cockpit doesnt really matter and it shreds. Great boom and zoomer and energy fighter.

[snottytoe]

Honestly I still prefer the SM.91 over the 92. That rear turret that shoots directly backwards is funny, but not exactly useful. I have gotten atleast one SPAA kill with it and that's enough for me.

[logicmaster]

Italy getting some love hmmmm not usual

[stacosaurus]

I searched SM.92 since I just started to spade it, and this man made a video about today :D

[blackmark]

oh how i was so wrong when i thought this plane going to be italian Me 410
