The Worst Jets In War Thunder 

He-162 located, ya better not be mean to it >:3

> worst jets > thumbnail is He-162, one of the most fun planes at it's BR

"He-162 is a terrible jet" *The Iron Armenian wishes to know your location*

The image shows the 162, the title says worst jets in the game: Sad Iron Armenian noises

**be an Italian main** Four out of five planes I have left to grind are on this list... **pain**

Can we get a moment of silence for all the A-5 sabers that have passed away from missiles. Remember, call today and YOU can save an A-5 saber. o7

Oh that thumbnail is gonna make Iron so mad 😂😂

Some jets I didn't add to the list that I could have: MiG-21PFM Sea Venom F-84B F-80C Javelin does not qualify for this list because it's the ultimate chad plane.

Personally, I prefer the two panthers to the F86, they climb quite wonderfully by comparison, and are great for helping the team

Sees he162 in list of worst jets *Angry Iron Armenian nioses*

8:45 Another happy landing

video: worst jet in the game *mig 21 pfm enters the chat*

"The F-4E lacks the avionics of the F-4E" 🤔

Attempt 2 You need merch, Saying "We'll get back to that later"

Since this video is only jets, consider making a prop version. Would like to see your opinion on the VB-10s, the French Flying Bricks! Also I love the fact that most people struggle in the He 162, keeps its repair cost where it should be. If played right against props that thing can be untouchable. Same goes with the 163. With proper fuel and ammo management you can get an ace on a single sortie in it, even in an uptier!

You should do the worst props

I feel like the planes that suffer the most are the non premium ones.

Disagree on the 162. That thing at 6.3 is amazing. It’s so tiny and once up to speed is actually quite quick. Those 151s right now destroy too so 2-3 kills is quite easy and the 20min fuel lasts for the entire 25min almost perfectly so no need to go back to base. One of my favourite jets

I felt that pain, that actually hurt me. 15:52

Did you just disrepect the he 162 ?? How DARE you 😡😡😡😡

The he-162 look like a squirrel with a backpack

I feel like alot of the problems can be solved by reducing the up/downtier range. In rank 5 and 6

Talking about the Me 162 “I don’t even think its mother loves it.” The Iron Armenian loves it. He is the lover of the unloved.

He-162 for me is so op, i play it with boom and zoom tactics and basically never go for bombers since this was designed to be a low altitude fighter from the start

**laugh in Ar 234 B that doesn't even have any gun and shitty bomb load**

The He 162 was actually my favorite jet to fly around the start of last year, I found it just stomped prop aircraft but I just played it again two days ago and it was absolutely awful, did they stealth nerf it or something

"If you're a masochist and hate yourself," this game is perfect for you... hahaha

Why does this list have so many 10.0s on it? Hmmmmmmmmmmm?

Let me get this straight: A jet is good when its easy to get kills in. A jet is bad when some characteristics have to be accounted for by the pilot in order to do well in it. And as someone who doesnt complain about "not getting guns on target" in a He 162 i say: gid gud!

Needs to rename the channel to Mig21 flyer.

The me-163 hits the ground and I’m like “oh it’s ok!” And then it just explodes

162, A5, 104s and f9fs? What about Fj4, cl mk4 and saab 105? Did you just pick random planes you don't like or that people like to call bad. Half this list isn't even that bad while there are vehicles that are much worse.

I actually enjoyed playing the 163, people try to dogfight you and thats basicly a death sentence for them

I just cant wait til they add the German F4

The A-5 sabre does well against other 8.7s (and st the time 9.0 was the highest against those). Problem is being uptiered. Absolutely useless then

Imo the Ho229 is missing. I really like flying it but it's bad at fighting other planes. The only good thing is that it can pitch extremely fast when sideways (good for initiating jousts on chasing planes, so not that good actually), but that is well offset by the fact that it can literally not yaw because it doesn't have a rudder. Because the roll-rate is also below average, all a plane has to do is to roll into a different plane than you and pitch, because the Ho229 always has to sequentially roll and then pitch it's almost always slower. The guns suck too, two slow firing Mk103s relatively far from the center axis are not fun, you need your crosshair to be on target for a good second or two to reliably hit anything, and that's when you're close and they don't pull any maneuveurs. Hitting planes in passes is pure RNG (and usually bad one), because planes will pass between two shots. It's speed is ok in dives, but you'll see plenty of jets outrunning you. That this thing was designed first as a jet bomber and then scrambled to serve as a bomber interceptor and was at no point supposed to be a fighter really shows.

I wish you included the J32B.. Turns like a brick, gets out speeded by everything, and only has RB 24s.

Yeah uhh, the 162 isn't bad when you follow the rule book, you should fly it like a bullet.

i spent time to grind g91ys when it was 9.7. at the time i purchased it, its at 10.0 and its my only top tier jet

Welcome to today's episode of: We Need Decompression

shoutout to all the homies who were in the stream

me who still fly's planes with props

And where the hell is the Yak-15/17 series, especially the Yak-15P?! I've yet to see a jet, which is more rubbish than that. Low top speed, low roll rate, plus a single 23mm autocannon with only 60 rounds? Count me out. I've managed to spade the Yak-15 and the Yak-17, with sheer persistence, but that thing would be too much even for me.

*Most picks are American jets, meanwhile I’m sitting here looking at jet options as I’m almost done with the P-51 line* Well....shit.

Spit just classified half of the german jets in rank V, ;-;.

I honestly cannot understand what you hate on the He-162, it is one of the most fun and dominant planes I ever flew. Great speed, insane climb for the rank and considering its an early jet, turns like a prop and the guns hit pretty damn hard. I love that thing!

I do really well in the he162, I’m not sure what he’s talking about

Spit_flyer I must say you are horribly wrong about the F9F-2 / 5, I love that plane and it’s because people under estimate it’s ability. Out of every 5 games I play 2 of them are 3-5 kill games. It’s a support fighter so you climb to 3000-4000 meters if someone try’s to head on with you, you can commit and win due to the planes amazing cannons and their decent fire rate. If your teammate is being tailed you swoop down while the enemy is slow and get a kill. When played correctly this plane is an absolute beast.

Hey Spit, haveyou thought of giving the F-80C a try with its 100 seconds of WEP? It's quite a capable plane on WEP, but without that it will feel rather slow in an up tier.

I believe that the way you play with jets is not ideal. If you have the engines on WEP, of course turning and maneuvering is going to be the worst and that even happens in the First planes. So just do NOT use WEP on engines while turning or maneuvering because it is going to get ugly

Hey spit, could you make a list for the best starting jets in-game? I got to tier 5 with Germany but most of their first jets aren't that great (the Me 262s and He 163 are in this list and the horten is good but really hard to aim)

I agree that the jaguar is not great at air rb, but its missing a lot of irl features like flares and overwing hard points. It is alright at ground attacking.

I thik the ME 262 series can be good, if the person behind it know how to use it. Other planes on the list on the other hand are simply to be bad.

Pro tip for flying the 163, you can cruise at 3km and maintain 560~ish IAS at 25% throttle But with only FIVE seconds worth of fuel you can maintain that speed and altitude for ALMOST a Minute and a half (85ish seconds) 5 seconds of fuel will let you cruise for 85-90 seconds. So after the initial climb you can just cruise into battle without burning hardly any of your fuel.

My opinion on the Me 163 is that it’s extremely fun to fly but extremely bad for grinding.

Love the A-5 Sabre actually, best sabre by far. Equip boosters, ace crew, pull 14 gs and not rip at any speed unless you roll hard and pull. Quite good fun

bruh the he162 can be unforgiving but cant be touched if you keep your speed up.

He-162 isnt bad it just takes skill and practice, like most german aircraft

Ki 200 is a very good plane in my opinion, its OP downtier and uptier too if u ask me.

Title: Worst Jets in War Thunder *Proceeds to name half of all jets in the game*

Title: the worst jets in war thunder The gameplay on screen says otherwise

"fun"? in War Thunder?! hah! it isn't april yet Spit :)

As someone who has, by some miracle, figured out the He 162, I can say that it is both the worst and best jet I've flown. Even with the fact that its model is outdated and it has poor stats overall, it works great as a ground pounder hunter. I can't tell you how many times I've managed to outlive my team, enemy players also seem to underestimate the hell out of this thing (rightfully so). But in patient, capable hands, the plane's a real threat, even with its dozens of problems. I even managed 7 kills in a match with it lol.

I personally like the He 162 and its rly good against Props

Not knowing how to fly some planes doesn’t mean they’re bad

LMAO I’m sry to be that guy but I’d have to respectively disagree with half the planes on this list this is hilarious because I feel like half these planes are way setter than he says they are

17:21 I like how the plane lands softly and then explodes

In defence of the 162, Heinkel's little jet was not supposed to be the MiG-31, but a wooden quickie that would win air battles by sheer weight of numbers.

Been having way too much fun in the japanese missle sabre, you get to m8nch on the cougar, yak38, and harrier, plus any mig21 that's not playing it safe. It actually brought me back in to war thunder for now. Highly recommend trying it out now.

yeah! finally a video with the a5! i hate it so much!

Maybe now The best jets in war thunder?

My personal gripe is the f-11. You either bring a claymore to a knife fight or a claymore to a gun fight. On a full downtier it struggles keep on target against the dogfighting jets and on a uptier it gets shit on by harriers and lightnings.

I just got the 162 and its loads of fun to me

Gaijin ruined the F-104 and i am angy

Things to add is that the jaguar A should have flares but for some reason don’t. As for the British one, flares are an option if you remove the landing parachute

if the cockpitsights of the a32a would be aviable, i would play it in sim. its has rwr, you know when a phanthom is on ur 6

Basically all ealry american jets are on here

No J32B at 10.0? I'm intrigued if you forgot it, or actually believe it works at the BR?

14:01 Hehehe you're welcome for that spiddy

(me with prop planes) hmmm yes

I'm actually surprised that the su7b is not on this list tbh

ok wheres the he-162 lovers?

Me 163 is a great plane.

cl13b -limited fuel 6m (if you take too much your wing will break on dogfights) -bad missiles -no cannon (Usually the enemy cannot be destroyed even if you hit a lot of bullets but this is not a big problem there are 1800 pieces of ammunition) -no radar and flares (if you uptiered, enemies spraying with missiles against you) -too much expensive repair cost: 25.000 sl -bad BR I still don't understand why it went from 9.3 to 9.7.

iron would beg to differ

Where’s the Ho-229?

I regret watching this

Me , having an Ace Crew and Talisman on He-162 even though unable to use it... NO YOU CANNOT SAY THAT GRRRR

I saw F1 gameplay and got worried

The he 162 isnt a bad plane at all. You need to paly it like s twin engined fighter. Sideclimb or go on the Deck to intercept people. It is really fast for its BR and can go Airfield strafing fairly easy

Good evening! Just feeding the algorythm

the He-162 isn't bad if you play it right. your flaw in the vid is you slowed down to much, you need to keep above 500 kph. It's maneuverability isn't great but how good it can turn isn't everything you know. It's faster than any prop in a straight line, and it can out shoot most fighters in my experience, but you can not take head-ons, can't turn fight, and is only good at its BR or below. It's not terrible, but it's a very delicate balance. basically you BnZ/Strafe, and if they live, you run away and repeat.

I'm noticing a trend here, I will agree in the fact that these planes have very noticeable downsides that can be difficult to overcome, but to me at least this video is presented as an objective blanket statement. while i have experience with most of these planes and I have no problem flying any of these jets. If you just learn to work with the negatives I find some of them (like the Me-262s, He-162, Yak-38s, and F2H) can be kinda potent in the right hands. In most cases saying a plane is not fun or bad is entirely subjectively.

Really? /looks at my back to back 4 kill games in the 162/...yeah...no. Sounds like you just don't know how to deliver the wunderwaffles! you are turning in a wunderwaffle when wunderwaffle don't turn, it goes straight. You go straight, shoot da thing, go far away THEN turn around so you have time to wind back up then go back in, lather rinse repeat.

HE-162 is god tier in sim though. for one, it's 6.3. No SP required to hop in. for two, it'll outrun most other early jets in that BR bracket pretty easy. Super props will be a problem in general. but you can usually dive away from them and be fine, due to your higher top speed when going level.

Shit, I fly 8/15 of those jets on this list.

RU-vid recommend this video after I halfway through with Yak-38M research

I guess this should be titled the worst jets for dogfighting in WT. Some like the jaguar and thunderstreak are fine for ground RB.

To be fair... the He 162 is very nice in Sim, i was surprised how good it is to fly there.

First.
