Javelin F.(A.W.) Mk.9 - The Low BR Missile Carrying Flying Contradiction [War Thunder] 

TELL ME ABOUT IT

@@WadsworthGaming It's been ages since I watched the documentary about it so I'm afraid it'll be light on the details. Basically when finalising testing one created a low level sonic boom over London at midnight, damaging people's property and causing outcry, especially in the press. Gloster officially apologized, but it was widely believed that they did it on purpose to prove it could go supersonic, as the project had had a shakey start, with a test pilot being killed, and claims (including from an ex employee who had quit and joined a news paper as an editor) that it couldn't. Edit: I can't post links on RU-vid, but the pilot was Robert Jeffries if that helps you look up more info.

@@MrEsphoenix Oh sorry, I meant that like when complains about something and then someone agreeing replies with "tell me about it" 😂 specifically about the overspeed limits in the Javelin manual, Gaijin doesnt understand that its an imposed limit, not a structural limitation But thank you for explaining the Javelin incident 👍

@@WadsworthGaming ahh haha. My bad, it's been a long day.

@@MrEsphoenix No worries king 👌

F104s are so fast they don't render if you are 1000 m alt and they are very low and boom and zoom you got flares r60s you are an mig 21 mf doesn't matter you are dead to aim 9b 😂

You know how video editing works dog?

you make that seem like it changes something@@ratatatatata5290

that would be a cool event vehicle

Won't happen, if it is good/useful and Canadian it goes to America. Britain only gets Canadian stuff when it is bad (for example the Canadian ADATS on the M113, instead of the one mounted on the Warrior)

@@commandoepsilon4664 Avro is a British company so no it would go to Britain and they previously said that stuff like the LAV lll would go to Britain and aircraft while they haven't said anything it wouldn't make sense to give those to the US since they already have p-40's and f-104's.

@@n1co2017 *looks at the Hawker Hunter in the German tech tree* Sure it would.

i think youre thinking of the fireflash missiles (my beloved)

I would have done one, but I found out about it late and other people have already spoken about it.

@@Tankenstein PLEASE do a video on the state of japan 9.3 ground with the new br changes ALWAYS getting up tiered to 10.3 even facing leo 2a4's

​@wildbanana2.067 Japan 9.3 is actually some of the best tanks I've used tbe type74s now are fantastic, as well as the type 89 combined with the saber for cas you've got a nice little lineup, get the thpe74 G and you've got it pretty easy.

You say that as if aim 9bs would do anything against a spitfire lol

@@seuchenvater5687 missile coming at you at 1.7 mach would probably do something

Lol, good luck even being able to launch a AIM9B at the Spitfire MK24

@@UrMumSaysHiWT when you're stalled out its not hard

@@duskycotw8404 You often see stalled out Spits? You have a extremly small seekerhead on the AIM9B, it can be dodged by a very gentle turn, you have to be in gunrange to lock on a prop, and good luck getting on it’s tail in a Sea Hawk

I don't have the F-13, but I do have the PFM which is fairly similar (it's got a slightly better engine, but is heavier with more drag, the 30mm is replaced by a GSh23 and it gets better radar, but no way to really use it), and it's not that good. Sure, it can work, as long as you keep your speed and some altitude, and go after distracted pilots, but you are very reliant on your team not disentigrating. Because if you're left to fight with no teammates to occupy the enemies, you're kinda screwed. You have no firepower or range in a headon, you're very voulnrable to missiles, and if you turn you're dead. So basically, if an enemy is dedicated enough to killing you, he will do so and there's basically nothing you can do about it. And on top of all that, you're flareless at 9.3. So you fall into the black hole which is 10.0/10.3. Meaning that every match you face planes which can kill you by clicking 2 buttons. The worst of those being harriers, which will actually catch you if you fall below mach for even a little bit.

@@jojomaster7675 yes all of what you said is good and very true but since later versions of MiG-21's does lose speed in a slight of turn not only the earlier ones

@@user-fd1mc8tb9k Yeah, but the later migs get good missiles and flares, so they don't need to get as close to their enemies, don't need to stay on them, and can dodge missiles much easier. The early mig-21s are usable, but I wouldn't call them very good, simply because of their reliance on their team and very lackluster armament, which runs out very quickly.

@@jojomaster7675 well thanks for the informative subject and have a good day

When damaged. Just the slightest hint of yellow on any part of the plane will drastically decrease its speed.

If you've never played the Javelin then you couldn't possibly understand. Taking even minor cover damage has a very high probability of causing so much drag you literally cannot gain speed. The most egregious case I have seen was after a head-on with a SAAB I had an orange inner wing and a yellow wing tip, in a full nose down dive with after burner on I couldn't get past 250 km/h. I slow fell from 5000m completely unable to do anything because of what could generously be called cosmetic damage.

Also ‘look at my speed bleed’ - proceeds to do a full elevator turn and complains when his literal delta wing starts to lose speed… bruh what is this guy even doing
