Right, I was thinking of the japanese one probably. Still everything else applies

Stay low, first of all. Don’t try to both bomb and fight, it’s a terrible idea that will leave you extremely exposed. Pack like 18min fuel and make sure to keep a balance between cold and afterburner. I’d recommend using ACM mode especially when in a dogfight as the PDV can be difficult. Launch your Skyflashes at close range (2-4km, 7km max) and they will almost always hit. 9Gs aren’t the greatest but they can pull surprisingly hard, use them primarily against unaware opponents or at close range, <1.5km. overall it’s not a very good 12.0 but it holds its own even against uptiers, so long as you play cautiously and keep your head on a swivel.

Gaijin got another newbie lmao. The phantoms in the british tree have a reputation for being absolute trash and the premium is the ultimate noob trap. As its Australia day sales id recommend picking up the plagis spitfire LF mk9c as its the best dogfighter at its BR and has good rewards to get you a long way up the tree

Ask for a refund and buy MiG-21 Bison instead.

F-4J(UK) is scam plane.

Unless you are obsessed with 74th Sqn RAF.

I knew that the f4j was bad but i dont like playing mig21‘s and every other premium plane that could be used to grind is trash

Thanks i will try

11

You cant grind to toptier using a spitfire because the bonus rewards work only if you try to grind a plane under its tier but premiums can only grind planes that are 1 tier above it

12

Ill try this too thanks

13

I unlocked the entire bomber line with the wyvern which gives similar rp in air matches it doesn’t take too long with the decent rewards you get

14

suffer even with the us f4j

15

Try (I haven’t played it or any of that br kinda vehicles even) headons with the skyflashes and vulcan and with the 9Gs catch unsuspecting enemies

16

I was already doing that but thank you

17

wait the british f4j gets a vulcan?

18

I have the wyvern too i unlocked the whole fighter line with it

19

GAU-4=M61A1 (gau is gunpod)

20

the us one gets a really bad gun pod so no fair XD

21

JUnK

22

agree

23

Or the FGR2/FG1

24

I recommend using that as your main grinder and SL printer still then, Naval battles give the best SL rewards but I fully get why nobody wants to play the next to completely dead third of the game
