This plane looks interesting, just not interesting enough to justify the price when i already have entire TT unlocked.

What are yours lmao, is a 8.7 plane at 9.0 that performs worse than 8.7s

Yeah totaly agree you can buy it but play 10 games and leave it for good this jet not bring nothing to the table over BR like most of so called special returns 2x 30mm from Ariete 2x Aim J with no lock no CM at 9.0 getting spamed vs F-104s , Mig-19s and you can see All-Aspect too no thx 60$ for it is just insane.

It performs well enough in its role.

If you use it as a fighter, tough, but as attacker / base bomber it’s pretty good , at least in sim.

It’s tied with the BF-109Z for fastest to be removed from sale (4 months)

Not even AIM-9J, they are 10Gs missile (close to AIM-9B but german)

Yes, as food for anybody else.

Sim is the closest thing we have to abandonware in War Thunder.

I find it funny that you insist so much on the experience of other players when you yourself have only played 9 games in sim.

I tested it when it first dropped and it’s the same as the Hunter. Underwhelming.

Can’t teally compare Sim EC matches with repeated take offs and landings with AB or RB matches that last a few minutes.

I haven’t used it excessively, true, but more than those who claimed its so bad without ever having used it in a match…

For anyone actually interested in buying it

I used it go from 1.0 Germany to 11.7. It gets really good at high altitude and climbs well but not the best at turning. Also the guns are literally TOO accurate. Them not spraying is a detriment and it’s hard to hit people even though their velocity is very fast. At least they have probably the highest damage per second I have seen they will rip apart a canberra immediately.

The four fire bombs allows it to get two bases.
Overall it’s a decent grinder if you bring bombs and missiles and survive to the at least one of the bases and then fight, but it’s anything but braindead and you need to be good to succeed with it. It’s fun but don’t get it if you want a seriously competitive plane.

Calling the Lazur good is a stretch too

Very nice, I wonder what the reasoning is for bringing it back.

I am surprised to see so many people say this is bad, 9.0 has been one of my favorite BRs. I have a friend that played the FFA P-16 a lot and he was doing really good and fairly consistently in air to air. Just some skill issue here?

is not skill issue is common sense paying 60$ for 9.0 BR with 2x Aim B no CM if you can buy rank VII for this money not mention 10$ more rank VIII

9B and no countermeasures is absolutely normal at its BR. I know most players only care about planes with the lowest skill ceiling possible, but you CAN get kills and dodge missiles with your guns and flight performance.
