The Easiest Way to Grind American Top Tier Jets | AV-8A War Thunder 

Don’t tell Freezed but I stopped watching his stream to watch this. 😂

The Av-8 is easily the best harrier in terms of Br and overall performance.

I can agree that this jet has been very potent since it was added.

Thanks for the nightstory om your stream😊 i subbed right after cus i love your content

Amazing vid, dude, thank you for your work.

Tbh, after playing this and F-5C for like 150 battles each, I’ll say that harrier is much, much more fun that the F-5! I don’t know why, but it just is. Maybe it’s the acceleration, maybe it’s the ability to use thrust vectoring in 1v1s, maybe it’s the missiles or any other difference between the two (which are pretty much everything maybe except the gun damage). And oh boy is it satisfying for CAS. Having my setup centred around teledyne AGS, I still bring the AV-8 rather than the F-5. Bullpups are not enough on this br, and having only them is not enough to counteract lack of CCIP. While the AV-8 has pretty much everything, and even in rb I occasionally switch to cockpit view after finding a target, just because it’s absolutely capable of destroying it from said view and it’s MUCH more immersive and fun to do so. So yeah, personal pick from the two is definitely AV-8 like 8 times out of 10 Btw all other top premiums for US: A-10, TRAM and F-4S are… just sad. Attackers are self-explanatory (except A-6 which excels at ground rb due to it having 10 laser guided bombs and a very nice pod), and phantom has to constantly play top tier jets which I cannot sustain for more than 2 battles at a time

that outro is fire, keep up the good work

Time to pick it up in the sale! Cheers bud!

LUL and thumbs up just for the harrier flying intro.

i grinded so many planes so quick with the av8a its a real chill plane. wish france had something similar to grind but im stuck with the f1

They should add back capping points with normal aircraft like they should add back TRACERS TO SWEDISH JETS

Im not insane at aircraft in this game but im pretty far into the german tree picked up the av8 on discount and rarely die in it whilst managing to rack up a few kills.i tend to see way more lower level players at this br too.

I agree, I grinded whole us air tech tree with it

Omg everyone hates on this plane as a premium even tho It's literally OP so thanks for making this video lol

Good knowing i'm not the only one who sees the crazy amount of bots playing this aircraft

The A-10 has a trick: don't go directly to bomb the bases, other planes will going to beat u in that task anyway. Instead turn towards the edge of the map, while still heading to the "middel line" , and loiter a little, about 13-15km from he combat area, so u out of the direct visual range. When the bases start to respawn start heading the 2 closer one since it can easily destroy 2 with just the bombs, while still can take 6 AGMs for tanks, + tehers a chance u can jump in some of the leftover attackers by surprise, do to most of their fighters at this pont are dead or about to RTB. Yes; there are 2 failure chance to this: 1: all enemies are dead by the time u get back and u end up did nothing. 2: all your team is dead (except u of course), so all u can do to run back to base to quit, or die trying to achieve ... anything to make up your time!

love it when i'm chasing a guy straight up and activate the vtol when he stalls

This and the F-5C tbh, with the F-4s in second/third

I know this is a slight tangent, but would you recommend the harrier GR.3? Is there any difference between that and the AV-8. As far I can see they are pretty similar but the UK has a different GRB line up

True, but the F-5C has the side effect of eliminating a player’s skill issue.

Can confirm. Got it aced for free and most tree grinded

Check out the German F-86K at 9.0 is it better than the LIM-5P and the CL-13s. It has 20mm and 2 aim9-Bs

the outtro is how to train you dragon song broooo

Great vid! Still wish I picked this thing up over the harrier gr.1 no point for me anymore because there's nothing I can research with it

Wooo hover boiii

Easiest way to take off with the harier is to rocket it

video 14 of complimenting Lee on having a good outro av8 good but harrier gr3 funny long nose boi best baby. also it's fun to VIFF people with the exhaust nozzles :)

This plane really helped me grind the French tree. They are easy to kill and I have only been killed once or twice by one of their missiles. Not overpowered premium like the su25 and a10

I bought both premium harriers on release. Was quite enjoyable clubbing the shit out of MiG 15s. Miss the 480 rounds it used to have

remember that mig19s you met yesterday? well that was me!

I got through the whole American tree all the way to top tier using just this and it is sooooo fast. Buy it and just enjoy.

People sleeping on the A-6E... its the plane I go to if I'm down on luck. If you use the 9L's correctly (which is not hard) , you can easily average 3 kills per game. PLUS its lower br than the F-5C and can still grind rank 8. It is also faster than both the A-10 and SU-25. I implore you to re-think the A-6E, go with 3 missiles and a gun pod, learn how to use the missiles, and its easily the best grinder for US IMO.

i just got it last night and i run naypom for the bace

GeneralLee voice sounds VERY familiar almost exactly like that other RATIO person, hmmmmmmmm related or are they the same person 🤔....LuL 😉... I hate the damn F-5C constantly getting a 3/4 of the enemy team or my team with them and trying to finish spading the Su-22M3 is horribly full with them things and they outrun a Su22 somehow cause I honestly thought the Sukhoi Su-22 a jet built in what the 70s or 80s get out ran by a 1950s jet 🤔 but hey it's a fighter bomber guess it's not built that way, but it is what it is.

meanwhile the british gr.1 : oh look an aim 9b.... well shit im dead

A10 should get an air spawn

Loves to aviate and to detonate stuff :p

how can you have missiles and flares at the same time

Me who bought the F5C first and grinded all the way to the F4J: *Regret intensifies*

And you didnt even mention the gun ccip for absolutely FARMING ground targets, AAA and artillery positions going down with a one tap most of the time.

A10a i just fly for 15 min to the side of objective then go for bombing if game isnt over by then ... fun...

i bought the english one (GR.1), but it's so situational that it's not that good for farming....it's slow, it turns like a brick, and not having flares makes every game a 50/50 of chances to die even before you reach the deck...

You should do another Freezed collab

every time i see one of these, there are a free kill. for me the worst premium

simple. dont buy a-10. buy harrier. or, buy f5c until price change

i would love to buy the av8 but im broke af. been playing warthunder f2p for awhile and just recently got to m901 on the usa ground

I have the f5c it has speed, bombing capabilities, great turn fighter, easy 5v1 capability, great br: rarely gets uptier, it is my go to over anything I have right now. Except when I get the f14 and f16 very soon lol.

why do i get matched against these beasts with an g91 x_x

How to play av8a 1 go up 2 go down 3 shoot missile at red thing

for cas i like the zuni better

ill only buy it if it costs $10

It's payday, I have 1,5k, the harrier is on sale, I'm buying

Wassup lee?

How you equip flairs with secondary weapons. Actually it’s not possible.

Hi

I mean if they were to make the a10 and the a6 a techtree aircraft no one would be really bad.

Title: Unsubscribing from "General Lee" - A Deeper Look at the Illusion of Consistency with the AV-8A in War Thunder Introduction: As an avid follower of online content, it's important to critically evaluate the information we consume. Recently, I came across a video by "General Lee" discussing the AV-8A premium aircraft in War Thunder, claiming it to be highly consistent for grinding purposes. However, upon closer examination, it appears that the video's portrayal of consistency is not as straightforward as it seems, leading me to reconsider my subscription to the channel. Body: 1. Illusion of Consistency: At first glance, the video paints the AV-8A as an aircraft that offers a consistent path for progression in War Thunder. However, this narrative fails to consider the intricate balance between the aircraft's strengths and weaknesses, leading to a misleading sense of ease. 2. Overlooking Performance Gaps: While the video briefly touches upon the AV-8A's performance, it neglects to provide a comprehensive analysis of its strengths and weaknesses. The aircraft's vertical takeoff and landing capability might seem impressive, but it comes with significant trade-offs in terms of speed, maneuverability, and armament. This oversight leaves viewers with an incomplete understanding of the aircraft's overall performance. 3. Neglecting the Learning Curve: The video's focus on the AV-8A's consistency dismisses the steep learning curve that comes with mastering this unique aircraft. Effective VTOL operation requires a deep understanding of throttle management, balance, and precise control. The time investment needed to become proficient is a factor that undermines the notion of consistency. 4. Misleading Grind Efficiency: The video suggests that the AV-8A can effectively grind the entire tree up until rank 7 and then transition to other aircraft for rank 8. However, this approach sidesteps the fact that transitioning between aircraft can disrupt a player's familiarity and skill with a particular model. This can lead to a less efficient progression, ultimately challenging the supposed consistency. 5. Ignoring Personal Playstyle: Each player approaches War Thunder with a unique playstyle and preferences. The video's claim of consistency fails to acknowledge that what might work for some players might not align with others' preferences. The AV-8A's suitability for grinding might not resonate with players who favor different aircraft types or gameplay strategies. Conclusion: In conclusion, my decision to unsubscribe from "General Lee" is rooted in the video's portrayal of the AV-8A's consistency as oversimplified and misleading. By overlooking performance gaps, neglecting the learning curve, misrepresenting grind efficiency, and ignoring personal playstyles, the video creates an illusion of consistency that falls short upon closer examination. As consumers of content, it's important to critically evaluate the narratives presented to us and seek out comprehensive analyses that provide a balanced perspective. While "General Lee" may have its strengths as a content creator, this particular video raises concerns about the accuracy and depth of information provided, prompting me to reevaluate my subscription.

But please don't bomb base in AV-8. It's sad that A-10 can't even get the full base from the trouble these Harriers cause. For the love of god, please don't bomb base if you can't take the full base.

It's not just consistent but it's a consistent burning engine also as I have constantly been seeing or have been chasing behind one or a Harrier and fact for sure the engine burns out from them OVER WEP'n the thing I have been getting quite a bit of kills in the A-10, especially on the city map cause enemy players just try to attack from the 6 o'clock and zoom right past me and kiss your @$$ goodbye enemy player almost 99% of the time all the time 🤨 But the thing it seems a majority of the time better to use and be on a team without Su-25's and idk what it is but people that been playing the Su-25 😵‍💫💩💩 a majority of the time But i play the A-v8 and its nothing but me bottom tier 9 out of 10 games.
