Wow. That dogfight with the F-35 Sabre was something gracious I haven't seen in literal years, so rare to actually have the opportunity to fight someone purely in a dogfight without getting interrupted instantly.
Just two great pilots battling it out in a dogfight where position is everything, and reaction is even more. This is what Warthunder is missing, because it’s basically impossible to get away with now
The funny missile used to be much better and you could get a head on kill reliably but physics change nerfed it pretty badly and i think there might have been some other changes to it, its a sad missile now
I have not played it since the missile adjustments... Although, i am confused to why they would be effected by the adjustments and the other A2A is not...
Oh the Head on fighting i did in this plane, Its wonderful. It also used to be good for chasing runners if they try a dive. I am also convinced the flight model for it is/has been broken for a long time.
You are right about the flaps only helping at low speed. Here's what's happening. The flaps are positioned in a way that they want to make you nose down. Normally, at low speed, you can just pull more elevator to cancel it out, but at high speed, you don't have enough force to deflect your elevators more than they already are, so you lose pitch up authority.
I had alot of fun with this. The goofy one of a kind missles, the wonky gun placement, the weird performance. Theres so many planes that are all the same. This isnt one of them
Hey Joob, I don't know how badly the swift's missiles were nerfed by the changes to SACLOS missiles with La Royale, but at least with TOW's, they can no longer turn much at all... it looked like you were trying to lead missiles the way you would with the old SACLOS setup rather than their current state
This thing is great in ground RB for killing Helicopters and Drones although it doesn't see drones anymore. It's also pretty good against enemy planes at that br
I used to find them pretty funny but now I think i'd just rather use the NORD AAs for the head ons. You get 4 of them on the G.91 (or 2 + 2 AIM-9Bs with the custom loadouts you get now) and you can just fire and forget them
I really don’t understand how you didn’t enjoy this plane much. I clutched so many games in this by never slowing down and doing hit and runs (not bz compression makes it very difficult) but everybody have their own style i guess
I pretty much only use the fireflash in head-ons using the radar. The lock can be finicky at times, but if it doesn't lock, you still have guns at least. When you do get a lock, fire and fly offset a little.
@@TheDeviantStrain it’s supposed to auto lock on whatever is within 3km in front of you (radar gunsight). It’s not really reliable, but that’s how it works.
I once ran into a squad of 4 Stukkas in a 10.7 matchmaker. You could imagine my disappointment when I flew to teammates for backup and ran into them. They did not help 😂😂 I have actually seen a prop kill an F-5C who was dumb enough to take a head-on with a prop. Hardest I've laughed playing WT.
The meme missiles are good in headons but you need to have the radar on, and even then there's a 20% chance they veer off and do thier own thing. Still there's no indicator for the enemy and they pack a punch
Sire, when shallt thou pilot the Lockheed F-104A/C and record it for our viewing pleasure? I, for one, shall thoroughly enjoy if thou produced a film featuring such aircraft.
Yo plz take A10 to 4000 meaters and snipe ppl with aim9Ls it would bring me much joy and good tip 1.00 to 1.50 aim like 3 cm off of the direction it is turning give the A-10 a small Shake around and eight out of ten of your target. Will get fucking wasted
