Raise the F8F up or put it at Rank 4 just before or after the cannon U4's

Wrong, F8F bleeds more speed than anything
Would you advice me to outplay enemies on XF5U by bleeding less speed??

63

there not even good i like the tech tree more

Thanks for the reply.

How are you supposed to shoot an F8F that will not let you get close? It has the capability to control the distance from enemies however it likes, while gaining energy in the process.

Couple that with an extremely strong top speed, you can turn flying straight for 30 seconds into an uncontestable energy trap for any pursuer.

you dont bleed that much speed as them if you manage it its called energy management if you manage well you will win just dont hold S like a monkey thats not how you dogfight also even if thats true you have 500HP diffeernec or more over most enemys most 3.7s dont have more than 1300HP 4.3s like MK9 are around 1700HP your at 2900HP which gives a massive boost in acceleration allowing you to extend from the fight at will

66

So wrong, do you know what WTRTI is?
In reality F8F have much less HP.

I predicted his counterargument.
-Every F8F let me get close; it is your skill issue that you can’t get close and struggle against a worse Hellcat at 3.3.

I mean… There are quite a few F8F-1 players which act like a worse P-47, or just shooting at the ground…

WEP stated on for the R-2800-34W is 2900HP at WEP

I’ve killed a lot of Yak-3Us in the F3F, lets swap their BRs (it’ll be funny)

Yeah, it would be obviously funny. :kekw:

71

YAK 3U is a straight demon i hate that thing beyond anything in the world RE2005s being higher than those things while being worse is criminal. The only thing id say is better maybe is the LF MK9 at 5.7 but that’s only if he doesn’t play energy so it depends defiantly a top 1 or 2 plane tho

the f8f is very undertiered. it goes 680kph on the deck, the FASTEST prop in the game at low alt, even faster than hornet and 51h; it has 30+ m/s climb at low altitude and good turn while it has speed. the main problem is that it compresses, has horrible maneuvering energy retention and overheats, giving it pretty bad ergonomics meaning most arb randoms perform very poorly in it. still, this plane should at the very least be 5.7 since its just miles ahead of everything at its br really

It will lose against anything in headon at such high BR and it will fight jets in uptiers so you won’t be able to abuse your topspeed to win by using advanced game mechanics like AAA!
Also at 5.7-6.0 there are so many scary planes like LF and Ta.152H-1
Also there are extremely strong planes at high altitude like Ki-87, Ki-94, J7W1 that will sideclimb for 10 minutes and you won’t be able to defeat them

F8F really doesn’t care at what BR is at.
5.0 - 5.3 perhaps?

76

im pretty sure wyvern beats it on deck tho

77

5.0 is fine where it was before they downed it

78

nah F8F is around 25kph faster

79

yeah but you overheat rapidly you cannot sustain that speed for very long at all

wyvern can sit at 400MPH forever basically

80

when the f8f1 moved down i absolutely thought it was the wrong thing to do lol even with its fragile flight model

81

That hardly matters cuz the F8F should always be higher, it can just dive on it like its no big deal
