"Argentina still uses the A4 Shkyhawk", not by choice For any of those curious, Argentina has only held onto the A4 due to the UK blocking any aircraft sales featuring any components from UK based companies, and that can be anything from Martin Baker ejection seats to even bolts on landing gear assemblies (though even as a Brit I think this is just a petty move on our part) . Hence why they've been eyeing up stuff from China lately.
I mean, nostalgia is basically the only thing holding the argentine armed forces together. We couldn't win a military engagement against a paper bag if we tried, maybe even against bolivia.
Similliar situation here in Indonesia; We're missing a few Sukhoi spare parts for our Su-30 fleet, but the US was threatening to cut off support for our F-16 and F-5 squads which is why we're buying Korean T-50 Golden Eagles and looking into Rafales. The struggles of being a 3rd world country military i guess
Makes sense though, noone backs us up when we go to war we have to do it all by ourselves so no need giving the most likely adversary (in a conventional none nuclear war) a leg up.
I think the model designation is fairly accurate as A-4Es had these upgrades retrofitted to update the existing fleets to the newer model standards. This seems like common practice with many militaries as it makes fiscal sense to go through modernization programs whenever possible.
iirc the Israeli A-4 is actually perfectly accurate. The enlarged spine was a feature retrofitted to A-4E’s, basically upgrading the A-4E to the A-4N standard
As a American A4E early player I'm sure you get a ccrp so you don't have to dive down to bomb. The defas are a really good upgrade to the American 20mm. Overall good review. They removed the radar function to the A4E because they also changed the American on too. The snail always screw something up.
the bomb loadouts it gets makes it unwise to use the ccrp to bomb bases, as a series uses too many bombs and with ccrp you can only drop one and then have to cancel the guidance to drop another.
@@mike4402 you can select secondary weapons enable ripple fire and select the amount you want to drop. Hold down the fire secondary weapon fire keybind. This will drop the bombs selected when the conditions are right. Sou can drop as many bombs as you want using ccrp.
You are mistaken all the Jet cannons except Rus and China are bugged in War Thunder go check them in protection analyst and the most bugged are the 30mm Nato guns with no fragmentation at all compare them with 23mm rus guns 1 hit 50 fragments.
This A-4 model is one of the centre pieces on the Indonesian Satria Mandala army museum, next to a MiG-21 replica, an M5 Stuart, an M8 Grayhound, and the KRI Macan Tutul. When i saw you using the Indonesian camo, you definitely had me thinking on buying this jet
All the A4s in the tree are actually correct! There were 3 main "upgrade paths" done to Skyhawks. The E Early to E Late (which installed the Avionics hump), the E model to H model (Defa upgrade), and some models to N models. The aircraft in game represents a real "point in time" where some upgrades were done, but the original model is still the E. If that sounds confusing, youd get a kick out of the AMX-50 development.
when it get added it still have 300km radar and Aim assist computer but later get take out, i'm not sure about it, but maybe they just happen to see A-4s Manual and see Ground Radar for Anti-radar Missile and through this thing don't really have radar or some kind.
It did only have a terrain following radar. The only a-4 variant to carry an air to air radar was the kiwi a-4K, which got a similar radar set to the ejkai
Hey Tim, love your videos alot, I'm actually kinda contemplating making videos with a similar format as yours but more focused on lower to medium overlooked or underrated BR tanks mainly ^^ hugely inspired by you but I'll try to keep my own twist! Your content has always been the exact kind I'd always wanted to make, so thank you! It gives me inspiration to try my hand at it :)
i agree with you I tried it in custom battles and unfortunately I find it bad it lacks of acceleration speed and manoeuverability to me especially when it carry weapons
"New content? Sweet. Are you going to finally add some of the French navy? Maybe add the F-105 Thunderchief to the American tech tree? How about adding some armor like the T-55 to the East German ground forces? Or maybe at least give us some earnable Italian navy profile icons?" Gaijin: "We're adding the nation of Israel."
im still not sure how people are looking throught the camera on optical guided ATGMs to aim them. I've looked all throughout the controls menu and cant find it.
Wow, I didn't realize they'd removed the radar. I was considering buying this specifically because of that feature since I only play Sim, and I would have been PISSED if I bought it only to discover it was missing the radar it had originally been advertised with.
Liked and subscribed. I like your style of reviews; informative and concise. One thing though, could you maybe try a better mic? Your voice is fine, it's just that the mic you're using throws me off somehow.
everything about this A4 pisses me off tbh and i have it, because it should be at least either an H or N model and gaijin just said nah fam you get an a4e even though its not, kek
look at the last 4 fighters in the sweedish air tree. j29f is 21,216 SL j32b is 15,983 SL j35d is 9590 SL and the ja37c is 6835 SL the higher you go the less you pay. gaijoob measures purely with statistics.
@@HatHammond the way gaijoob mesures the effectiveness of a vehicle is dumb. for example: the cl13b mk.6 is just a normal sabre with slightly better handling and 2 aim9b AAMs. yet its 9.7 for some dumbfuck reason. its all the way there because theres very few people playing it, but those few people are very good. it should be 8.7, and not a single BR point above. BuT iT hAs AiM9b! well, the g.91 r/4 has 4 aim9bs at 8.7 AND it gets access to nord AAs too, all while being more manuverble than the american sabres.

@@TimsVariety yeah it was early on probably 3rd or 4th game in the thing so I was using the 30free repairs to just mess around head on and just get used to the plane before the 13k repair cost I have 2 million silver lions from when I play the British fgr2 I’m just trying to grind Sweden to see what the ja37 radar is like as the weapons are the same just 2 less skyflashes but it’s far better at turning and with the better radar I already get 3-5 kills consistently every game in the fgr so I’m hoping I perform with stat wise a potentially better aircraft 😊
Literally from the worst aircraft in my opinion... it's a puke of a plane... Also you hit things with a fkn 30mm DEFA... Took 250s bombload in an EC map... nearly didn't take off...
It Is such a fun plane to play,. But overall this review just shows the vehicles potential and how fun it is. Keep up the amazing content Tim

Yep, these are A-4Es. The A-4H was based on the A-4F, while the A-4N was based on the A-4M
This plane got me through the tech tree up to my beloved mirage. Wonderful plane, especially on the bigger EC maps.

Tim you are absolutely popping off with these uploads! I see big things in this channel's future :)
The model is correct. The A4Es given to israel were indeed upgraded in this manner.
i'm very glad they fixed this thing by the time i got it as the skyhawk is one of my favourite aircraft series ever made
Just saw you last night flying the a4e.
That's me in the video you almost got me in my su7.

The aircraft visually is an A-4E, not an A-4N like you say. Isreal had A-4Es early on but upgraded to the A-4N.
I made it into the video! Looks like playing war thunder instead of preparing to defend my thesis paid off.
Bought it this week, it has great capabilities nowadays compares to launch I feel like
This model is used in Brazil navy , Argentina only had a4 in reserve air forces

Brazilian Navy uses A4
This A4 hast CCRP, like the A4-E Early
Low tier is fun tier. Israel can't have a low tier, so I can't imagine that there is anything there that would be interesting to me.
Excellent video as always, my only question is, what the heck is RUclips doing with the subtitles on this one?
Ive never actually looked at the subtitles lol
First ad before video : virtual classbook to learn Hebrew
I hate how at rank 7.7 i got to deal with it but i think its fun
it makes no sense that the meteor mk3 is around 20k sl in repair costs at 7.0 and the israeli A-4 5k at 8.0

It has a CCRP but no CCIP
What is the "hunchback" of the A-4 used for? Is it space for extra fuel or something else?
Yes, it's quite good looking.
It's where they stuffed the computers for more avionics
Great plane for cas, wouldn’t be using it in air rb though, no no no I wouldn’t.
