How to play the hunter in the french tree

I recently got the plane and I dont think I have ever done this bad in any plane. Its just horrible in every aspect imaginable. Am I doing something wrong ? It just seems unplayable. 9.3 with no flares only aim9b its not the fastest it cant turn the best it doesnt have the best energy retention itsj ust bad at everything.

That BR is a mess, uptiers always suck without flares, so there isnt much you can do about that.

The key with the hunters is stay fast, they do not like low and slow fights

Do you get any rockets on that thing? I think the german 9.3 gets some, you can use them as flares.

It doesnt unfortunately

At least it’s better than the F.6… unfortunately the best way to use it is to leave it in the hanger

after 20+ games with it I can confirm that it is better to leave it in the hangar. Infact dont even crew it, its just a waste of sl

keep above mach 0.8 and for the most part you’re relatively untouchable. the 9B is good for stopping supersonics trying to extend away from you or for smacking someone base bombing.

that BR is a mess but not as bad as when you see the F5 spam higher up

I’ve only played the 10.0 hunter, and its my favorite jet in game right now. stay fast and try to lead the guns well. the 30mm cannons aren’t the best in terms of speed, but they hit extremely hard. i get a ton of kills with the guns even at 10.0.

there are a lot of players at that br who aren’t very familiar with jets yet, so you can exploit that a bit if you keep your speed up.
