I need to get better at notching fox 3s at altitude, Im not bad at it near the ground, but I would like to fight my F15C at a higher altiude, I think thats where a ton of kills are.
LOL, I havent flown my Mig21SMT yet since it got moved down to 10.3…yes those R60s are so quick, and really good at sniping. They are on you fast.
Thats a great plane at its BR you dont hear people talking about a lot…Im researching it now, cant wait to get it. I love my CLmk6, but to be honest, Id rather be flying the Ayit at that BR…Nice mate
Hell yeah, thats what we play for mate to have fun.
Nice!
There is some challenge or achievement, I do not know which one it is…but its Terror of the Sky, or something similar to that,…that would be one Im %75 of the way there, but when I get that I will be giving myself a pat on the back.
I seem to like slow, maneuverable planes that are not conducive to a million airkills, and so its like a chess game to me, and I like to win. I will a lot of times, when in props, see nobody is going to go after the bomber flying in outerspace, so I pass up a lot of kills so we can win and not spend the battle chasing after some bomber pilot who thinks its funny to run off the map.
Im kind of more into wins right now, I got my Ace Tag about 8 months ago and that was always a goal…since then, Ive really been screwing off flying the planes I always skipped because they werent great, just to have fun with everything Ive accumulated.
Thanks Mate for your contribution…BTW, when Im in my Zeros I always go for the Spits and Yaks first LOL.
Aim-9Ds have vastly superior range, Shafrir 2s maneuver better in certain cases due to lower energy (tighter turn circle).

Ive noticed at that BR with the Aim 9Ds say for instance, its nice to fire at right about their optimum range, to give them a little time to maneuver, they are not the tightest turning missiles, but if you give them a little time to adjust, kind of like Aim 9es, they aren’t going to pull a lot of Gs, just in that certain range, they will pull in…kind of like your gun convergence huh?
J-7E and F-5E FCU

Mate, all those F5s are so good. I remember when I got my F5 in the US research tree…I was like, wow, this is my first good US jet! I ruined my player card with Phantoms trying to get to the F16s and F15s. They do so many things so well as long as you keep up the speed.
Now I have about every US plane and come to find out when I started going back, the Sabres are really hot as well…Those F5s, I also have the Japanese “Thai Fighter”, are a plane where amid all the missiles I seek to engage with those fire cannons, some of the best cannon in the game! NICE
Thank You for your contribution to the topic.
I happen to do very well in Mirages, I like delta wings and Im not bad in my Mig21 family either…the Mirages are some very good planes in WT and you dont see many people talking about them.
Nice MiikaLaakso! The Mirage 2000C is one plane I have I forget about, it is a plane I have gotten 4 airkills in quite a few times, but I can never break 5…Last night in my Me109 G2trop I got 4 and 3 assists…LOL, at that BR people are firing on a plane you set on fire, that really irks me!
Thank You
If you look for a forum member which could do 5 posts in a row, which one would you ping?
Alvis Wisla, seems to be the “smarty” out of all of us…got a nice little comment for everyone, flight performance dubious to me.
AlphaJet TH. My most used plane in this game, I’ve used nothing but it for months now. If you need decent IR missiles and slower flight performance this thing is good enough. BUT, its low speed dogfight capability and incredible cannon (once you learn the ballistics, its 10 rounds a kill) you can out dogfight F-5, Mig21, J7, MiG23, literally anyone who doesn’t boom and zoom you and sticks the fight WILL die. just don’t get third partied (it will happen unfortunately) and you cant loose

as of 30 seconds ago. highest was 7 with the ayit (A-4N) but this was with no returns to the airfield and only using 2 of the 4 missiles. taking the gunpod turns this into a mini version of the A10, but with speed. and since you shouldn’t be turn fighting anyone (delta config) the extra weight isnt a massive issue compared to the upsides. anyone in an ariete can deal with you, but not if you shove an Aim9D in their direction before they notice you. you also perfectly counter the F104. flare incoming missiles, wait for the inevitable overshoot and have the aim9D primed. as soon as your nose is over the exhaust fire it and watch as they panic!

Missiles add too much variation IMO. You launch them and you’re unable to influence what they do from there. Sometimes they’ll ignore all countermeasures and hit the target, others they’ll chase a butterfly on the other side of the map. And sometimes there’s a very fun bug where they’re completely invisible.
Highest I’d go is 9.0 for one of the Sabres, the F-86F-40 is a personal favorite.
Yeah ayit is op. I got a 8 kill game in an ayit ngl the rwr change also helps surviving more.

Either the I-225 or the Yak 3U
Both planes are fucking insane.
