I think I understand Gaijin's strategy here. The way to fix the issue of subsonic attackers in top BR is to saturate the matchmaker with as many of them as humanly possible for all nations. Ingenious.
@jacoproita9010 the pre production models yes, but the more modern ones are equal if not better than F16 and F18 especially if they get the new engine
@@MerkavaMk.4 official since Smin said that the Gripen was coming this year. After Sons of Attila, there’s only enough time for the end of the year update which is usually in December. For the F/A-18, that’s speculation due to its Radar system being added on the new Italian harrier
@@explosivecommando9100no one grinded forgettable Italy except some suckers (me) who spent way too much grinding the US from tier 4 to f16 just to remember halfway I already had the entire Italian air tree and could research the f16 immediately
The high bypass turbofan engine characteristic as on the Harrier is like that because it's more efficient at exchanging power to actual thrust. Two turbofan engines, one low bypass and the other high bypass, if they're making the same power the high bypass one will have more thrust even at high speed. Though the thrust produced is falling, the aircraft speed is rising faster, so the power that is used for accelerating is still growing, just slowing down. This is somewhat similar to a "normal" piston engine, like in a car. While the RPM are higher than the maximum torque, increasing the engine speed will make torque drop, but power will increase (to a point).
I have wanted this thing for a long time, and while I'm confused as to why we're getting it before the US tech tree, I'm so happy to see it. One of my favorite jets in the world, and one of my favorite planes in all of history. It's just beautiful, functionally unique, has a really interesting history behind it, and its role in warfare is really cool to me. Even if it ends up being trash in War Thunder due to being a subsonic attacker in top-tier, I still can't wait to fly it. If I can make it work even a little bit, have some fun picking up kills here and there or getting into dogfights using thrust vectoring, it'll be worth it. It'll also be a great 11.7 CAS option to use while spading the Ariete AMV, finally having Mavericks in Italy as well as Paveways.
It is perfect for ground rb. Italy now with Hungary, DM53 for Ariete, Freccia and this plane really got a nice line up. The Mavericks will be strong against pantsir and you can still bring up to 6 GBU12. Only thing that is missing, is a better helicopter maybe with spike er2 sitting on 12.0 or higher and a better anti air and Italy will step up from the worst top tier nation 2 years ago into the top 5 top tier nations
Paveways do the work against pantsirs. Mavericks are easily shot down by it. I typically gain some speed, yeet it, then pull 30 degrees away. Does the trick with the mirage
I love this plane, both cuz its gonna be great in grb, and because its a lot of fun in 1v1s, for which I recommend you to use flaps, takeoff flaps basically dont rip
viff. thats how you use it. 30% is ideal for dogfights, sometimes more to force the overshoot. thats how i used the gr7. this will be nice tho cuz the B+ carried amraams and had hornet radar irl.
Damn that updated RWR seems pretty damn helpful especially for a smoothbrain like me. I havent dabbled into high tier to much because i just dont understand it enough
Looks like the radar is a placeholder as of right now on the dev server, maybe a copy-paste APG-66 from the F-16A. IRL the APG-65 from the Hornet and AV-8B+ had TWS since they were equipped with AMRAAMs. So it’s definitely not quite accurate as of now.
Great video as always, I must say though I saw that you had the Iar-81c in your lineup, do you think you could make a video on it sometimes, it’s a potent aircraft with air brakes and EFS at 2.7
i would rly like them to add way more 12.0 or more and cap matchmaking of 11.0 and 11.3 only together and some 11.7 sometimes + i blv this plane better belong in 11.3
Why isnt this coming to the US tech tree? I know the USA is getting the F-16C but imagine they added a Russian aircraft to the german tree without giving it to the Russians
love how they just give usa another f16 yet gives italy this harrier when this very harrier was designed an meant for the usmc. gajin loves to give the usa the worse variants of aircraft that ended up multinational. other then the f5e, an the f4s. the whole community was not asking for more f16’s. if anything we wanted different stuff an not just more f16’s with cas ability when there is already many good cas options for almost every country.
I know that you check player cards in matches sometimes to see if a person is experienced in the aircraft they're flying, but out of curiosity what do you consider to be the threshold for good/experienced pilots?
Dunno about defyn but I generally look if their k/d, if i know the plane they're flying (you can see by checking the battle log, it will show plane type + if im not wrong method (gun, R-60M, etc.), I check their k/d in the plane. If it's over two i keep in mind they are at least decent
@@armymanaka360 I don’t know anything about specifics of gen 2 Brit GR harriers besides they never equipped radar and amraams. Quite an advantage to have that kit, and strange only gen 1 sea harriers got that stuff
I was browsing your impressive stats and noticed this seems to be your worst plane stats wise. Is there any reason for this other than it being a meh plane for the meta? (i.e. messing around with friends doing goofy stuff)
it's a very good looking aircraft, but you have to see the AV8B Matador from the Spanish Navy, that thing looks like something it's mom would yeet upon birth
gaijin, making russia the strongest nation in game and letting every other nation suffer for months besides america, and dont get me started on britain as well (almost a year for sweden with the viggen...) and yes my opinion is purely based off of fighting pantsirs, and maining sweden :( i wanna play 11.0 viggen but not playable vs f14s and F16s..
Everyone tries to dogfight you because on the Dev server it's only tryhards now. They aren't very good at the Live server and they can't get the vehicles they want. So they join the Dev server to feel superior and special, by acting as toxic as possible to any Players they encounter. On both sides btw.
What is this nonsense RWR. Modern RWRs should be able to tell you what radar is locking you and give you an indicator that tells you what vehicle it is
anyone knows if hes playing DEV. STABLE or just DEV client ?? because ive tried the DEV and there are issues with betty's voice in the cockpit and i want to know if there is a difference in the details of both Dev Clients.
basically i want to know if its normal to not have an altitude warning when flying towards ground nor any terrain warinings when flying towards a cliff or mountain. and why the few warning that go off only go off once instead of twice for each

Those are 10-11.0 💀
The GR.7 is like 11.7 and the Italian one is 12.0 or 12.3
You are correct Defyn, that is indeed a plane.
Told you Defyn was a pretty smart lad.
Thanks 😎
@@DEFYNi thought it was a atomic submarine at first. Thanks for the clarification.
personally i think it might be a helicopter
I thought it was a tank
This gun is super cool, it's also on the F-35 as well! Excited to use it, just wish we had it on a better platform than the harrier.
@@Slight- guns only F-35? Would be the best dogfighter in game (shes not fat at all)

But that it had its airframe limited at 6Gs manouvres

man I wanted this plane for a while. This jet has so much weaponary in it, and will be a perfect jet for a ground RB top tier
Btw same radar as the F-18 hornet in that plane, so that performance can be a sneak peak for what might come later

I love Italian prop aircraft, or well did until half of them got overtiered like Japanese props.
IRL it had f18 radar added so it could carry aim120s, air to air loaded is a placeholder until ARHs are added in future patch
The Harriers are a great example of why I think there should be different BR‘s for Air RB and Ground RB.
Damm your soon gonna hit 100k subscribers, been watching your channel for a while now.

Gr.7 is pretty fun so im sure this thing will be too, but the real fun will come once this thing gets amraams
9M is already a good step
thanks DEFYN, I was sure the AV-8B is the newest British toaster but it seems your title is not so crazy after all, that thing is indeed an aircraft

now it's even better because it has aim-9m
It sure is a plane

It's a shitty airframe with good guns, kinda funny to fly but not good
@@v3es473 honestly the airframe ain’t the worst, I can often turn inside the circles of many aircraft
Not a single prop plane XDDD
Gay-gin was only wants to make the grind worse (not for premiums ofc)
I swear every time they add WW2 stuff it’s like a huge hit of dopamine
they should add the BF109 K14, it's a super prop 109 with a four blade hub
@@kingghidorah8106 they should add much more than that, I have a list of ~50 planes that should be in game already
@@smigoltimefr there are so many unique prop planes out there
ооо обожает смотреть только начал первый полет)))
AV-8B+ also has a radar, which does not appear to be modeled here.
it does i just turn it off because it has no use besides finding targets and slaving the missiles because it doesnt have any radar missiles atm
@@DEFYN valid
I'm not playing if there's not floating islands in the next update.

i think the AV-8B+ is a plane
When they dropping the av-8b pro?
AIM 9M moment
“He did just take off but this is the dev server so he probably low on fuel” what?????😦what sense does that make
Did they change the flare animation? I swear it wss short and shttier
I am excited for the Update, at the same time i am scared of the download awaiting me (I‘m gonna be downloading with one mb per second max)
why tf does the AV-8B have the GAU-8 firing sound???
