Go away wallet warrior | F-8E Crusader 

Going from the F-4C/E to the F8U kept me sane on my grind towards the F14.

My only wish is that they'd give the F8E aim 9gs cause it carried them irl.

This is one of those planes I can always go back and enjoy

There is nothing that gets on my nerve more than when people kill steal a falling enemy

A good tip for the F-8 Crusader. The guns are split into two groups, you can select them separately to let you be able to fire your guns for longer at the cost of halving your burst mass. It will automatically swap the selection when you run out of ammo for the current set so no messing with keybinds during a crucial moment. It basically makes the guns very similar to the F-5.

The fact that a plane has been reviewd by a lot of people doesent mean that it doesent deserve a new and up to date one, gaijin is always adding new stuff and making some changes that can actually change a lot how a plane performs so a new video is always welcome.

I was watching the video and suddenly I realized that at 00:53 I appeared 🤣 I'm the enemy tornado IDS at 12km

I want them to add radar jamming because, turns out, the 9Cs had a home-on-jam passive seeker mode. Would be endlessly entertaining to fox-1 people who think they’re safe. It would even be immune to chaff in passive mode!

certified F-8E enjoyer video

Wish everyone was so respectful as you. I barely even play WT anymore now that I can run DCS. When I do it's always a miserable frustrating time, as usual. Took out the F5C for the first time in a month. Got the perfect aspect on a guy chasing a teammate and fired a missile, 2 seconds later I hear and see a missile being fired nearby at the same fkn guy. My missile crits, his missile kills. I get an assist. I get killed. Fucking LOVE this game.

Brick squad, where you at? Brick Squad Discord: discord.gg/wzw3C4HBsJ I did an oopsie. I just double checked again and the SPS-K has worse TWR than the F-8E. I must have mixed something up when researching this video, my apologies for that. Also, bruh there is an audio glitch at 0:35 that isn't there in my final MP4? Bruh idk how to fix, re-upload did not work.

Ah yes F-8 best Navol fightor

I got this aircraft last week, been absolutely loving it. The best technique I've found is staying at about 4.5km (on average) to just stay below where I get a contrail. Then come up beneath the MiG-21s with the Aim-9Cs from below while they're high and not terribly manueverable. I've played just enough to spade all the performance mods (not the ordinance), and have a 3.5ish KDR in it. The amount of people who don't bring Chaff, even Event Tornados and Su-25s is insane.

I honestly prefer AIM-9Ds over Js, Gs and Hs. I wish I could keep my other missiles caged until I want them to not be. Because that would avoid them constantly locking onto shit I don't want them to lock. Like flares, teammates, the sun and the wrong enemies.

As someone who recently obtained F8U, I find it constantly uptiered to face 11.3 premium spam, compared to A-10/Su-25 spam in Thud. That said, I need to revisit Thud now as missiles got quite the nerf to energy retention when maneuvering, which might make that big ol bombtruck a bit more enjoyable.

The crusader is a naval plane and the wings actually fold in half, you can see the pivots where it folds on the wing. This causes the wings to not be as strong and leads to wing rips.

At least this thing doesn't start randomly wobbling around when you go supersonic, anymore

...that was actually a really great example of an "enemy trap". I almost feel like that phrase doesn't describe what goes on that well...

your voice is soothing 😻

intro was golden. i've always watched your videos but wasn't subscribed. that intro got me subscribed.

Both crusaders are monsters in their own right!

Thanks for the nice video man and good luck on ur exams!:)

wall fish, age 5, said :D, launched an aim-9c then left

I’ve played a lot of F-8E and dear god do I love it. It’s god in a downtier, and still fairly viable in an uptier with a competent pilot. Under good conditions it can outclimb a Starfighter, the missiles are perfect, and recently it seems that the snail has gifted us with fewer wing tears.

Yaayyyy Walvis upload

pog another Walv!s video

Good Luck with your exams!

yeetus deletus premium planeus

Good on getting that yak-38. I've now got a personal vendetta towards any yak-38 I see after one spammed all 4 r-60's at me. I had the speed to dodge 3, but not 4.

I know that you don't have your War Thunder Partnership yet, but it still would be dope to see you fly the J8B, I heard it's really good and I am about to unlock it myself too

Big bigger biggest airplane CHANGE F 8E CRUSAIDER, THE REAL OLS GUN FIGHTER

the chivalry was nice to see

I kinda wonder if they will ever make up and down tier more enjoyable. Like getting uptiered really ruins some planes so it would be nice if they got a little buff when uptiered unless that doesn’t work idk just a thought.

Also, being filipino, I was hoping that gaijin would add the f-8h used by Philippine air force with their respective camos

Anything that kills premium players effectively is my fav

u make some amazing videos, i wonder what happened to the simpleplanes stuff tho 😢

Just don't use the booster modification. Fighting Premiums has another advantage, most of them are Strike Aircraft, which makes battle tasks which require killing them actual fun. One of the most fun aircraft in the entire US tech tree. AIM-9C my beloved. Finally regarding other people already having make videos on the subject, that doesn't matter especially when the video is newer.

lol I used to constantly play this, got bored, and now I want to play it again (:

The classic pog plane

I also love how WT RU-vidrs(other than Seek who I don't watch) won't and don't kill steal, yet that doesn't convince players not to do it either. I just love matches where someone follows me everywhere I go and steals every kill I'm about to make.

Love doing sneaky landing flaps against harriers, big brain wink wonk

this and the MiG19 are the kings of their BR bracket

Wing rip ‘insert Ryan Gosling edit’

GOOD LUCK ON THE EXAMSS!!!

wil you make a video of f3h with radar missile of its performance after the missile update?

It’s such a good jet for its br

One day we'll get SL talismans, and then i'll be able to use this as my main grinder over the F5c

The mig 21spsk actually has a pretty low t/w compared to the other mig 21s. Its engine is very weak. And idk about the f8e beating a mig 19 in a dogfight. That thing's a monster.

you should also try the AJ37 at 10.3 its a joy to fly bc its basically a 11.0 airframe at 10.3

Nice Video bro 1:02

Good day, I truly love yet hate the F-8's even though I don't have them yet (F8U-2 79k rp left, F-8E 130k rp left) they're quite frankly annoying to due with flareless aircraft above 9.3 uuuuuhuuuuhuuhuhuhuh like the Q-5L ... Still one shouldn't doubt an Ayeet (Ayit A-4N) since it can carry 4× powerful missiles with CM & being very nimble, I recently witnessed one get a 7 kill game. Hm one observation on the Cursader is that it's autocannon armament is split so in away you can have double the endurance in a dogfight if you setup separate gun keys. Yeah pretty most 10.3 TT aircraft make for great premium farmers as many whom fly premiums ain't the sharpest tools in the shed (bar MiG-21SPS-K pilot that take CM, those are a tad smart for the meta around them).

can you make a video on AIm 9Es after the missile nerfs? i dont even lknow how to use it in f5c but with R60s im fine with

Hey you ever consider making a vid on the MiG-27 it’s pretty cool plane! One of my favorites

When playing the A-10 I ALWAYS see other A-10 heading straight for the furball climbing up to 10,000 feet... I'll never understand it..

Aim9c is the most underrated missile in the US tree.

1 minute is enough to follow

yeah yeah, it works if you get in 9.3 to 10.7 games. But most of my games are uptiers to 11.3 because of F-4S spam so not so great when half your team dies within 5 mins

Keep your speed at 990 and you can turn however you want.

i’m having trouble acquiring locks using the aim 9c, what am i doing wrong?

What is that outro music? I love it!

"if you get uptiered to 11.3" I like to play the Japanese F1 at 10.3, but I can't bring it into any matches because every match is an uptier. And the lack of flares or chaff really cripple it.

Looks like master oogway with the duct and eyes lol

What was the sound effect where it goes "*bang* aaaaa"

This is not an Simple plane

I can't get off the fist upgrade I'm getting my cheeks clap

Try the f86 sabre or anything high tier in air assualt its painful when your br of 7 and being put in with f-14s

Do one on the f-105D

I learned to play with f5c don't have any intrest in ww2 but cold war that's another matter

top tier content dit neef

Is it bad to buy a premium after you pretty much grinned the techtree? I need the sl and im not playing naval

I noticed recently that F-8E has IRST mode. Can it be useful for anything?

kinda funny when an f8 trys to radar missile me and im running chaf ....yeah waste ya missiles on me man

Quick question, why does chaff not work and why do flares not work against only enemy missiles?

I wish I could get this thing but ever since I tried to spade the f4e I've entirely given up with air rb and almost with war thunder

Just throwing this out there. I was recently flying the MiG-21MF and had a really long fight with an F-8E (he played really well) who about 5 mins in ripped his wing off. It was a desert map, wasn't that you? Just asking.

Ya don't forget this is War Uptier Yes flying that high up is good but anybody that knows how to fly top tier Jets they stick to the ground so they have less to worry about when getting locked onto. But hey this is WT and there is ALWAYS infinite amounts of clueless players

take off boosters, and youll never rip if you know how to fly (dont pull hard when rolling at all). not once have i ripped my f8e, and i have nutty stats in it. such a fun plane.

How do you have the f-14 researched with only 3/5 planes unlocked?

Would i be better off with this or the f 4 j i have both unlocked now but i dont really want to crew a jet that i dont want to upgrade

hi walv!s what setings do you use, mine are weird af so what do u use?

Even I have made a video on the F-8E lol.

Any advice on how to dogfight in the f8u2 without ripping my wing off each time i turn?

Why not try DCS world? It is somewhat similar to warthunder and some of the aircraft are similar prices (sometimes)

no expert crew lol

I hate this thing. Impossible to survive in the J35

The french one has magics, right? Is it even better?

1:15: "...the f-8e is very good at slaying premium bozos." #premiumbozos

Can you do that Jag gr1a

chill im just tryna go faster in the tech tree im sorry plus i only bought 1 plane

What the hell? it said Ayit on the A-4E why ? That's a Israel airline and that Jet is a America A-4E ? Is this a joke or something im missing? Sorry had to ask.

The reaso nthe F8E rips so easily is because its overmodelded, most naval jets have a super wierd overmodled state

me when the

Me and my boy beat this thing in a Su 2 and a P51A

How the hell do people even get hut by the Aim9 c, it has zero pull and one chaff is enough to break the pulse lock

aj37 when?

This man saw the "W" key on the keyboard and just said "Yes." You realize you can make tighter turns using flaps and not WEP'ing the entire time right? Also helps prevent overshooting your target.

Outro song name?

Anti-premium unless they know what they are doing then it gets demolished by fighters that can lock it before it can lock them

Bro i have 3 days played in realistic and havnt once broken a wing to overload💀

Wtf the defyn vid wasn't watched?????
