SKYRAY MY BELOVED I picked this thing up for 20GJN and was very pleasantly surprised by how well the near-Phantom engine treats it, lends it some very powerful early match presence. A slept on plane nowadays in my opinion
the F4D had P&W J57, not a GE J79 like the Phantom or Starfighter had... its still a good engine though but its an older design and never used on the Phantom (it was originally considered when the Phantom was just on the drawing board)
@@niggalini yep, that was my mistake, the J57 did produce near to what the early J79s could achieve thrust wise, and I that's where I make my mistake in calling it a Phantom engine. It is surprising though just how many aircraft used the J57
Another thing to note for the Ground players who might want a CAS option along with a fairly good fighter for 9.0, this thing gets a rocket ballistic computer along with a pretty hefty amount of mighty mouse rockets, so it can work fairly well for CAS around 9.0. Don't spend $30 to stock grind an event plane because you want accurate rocket CAS at 9.0 if you aren't going to play it in air battles though...
Loved so much about this plane but the wing rip back in the day when I spaded it. Awesome to hear they addressed the wing rip issue. Will have to give it a fly soon.
just got this recently and its a machine, I saw bad reviews only a few weeks ago but after playing it I realized its actually probably the most op plane at 9.0 that is underrated. Thanks for reviewing Lee :)
wtf how is this person only on 7k subs??? he deserves way more then this full detail of plane, enjoyed watching this vid compared to other people who review planes
got this plane for 16$ a long time ago and tried to be a wallet warrior but failed but after learning alot and getting to 10.0 and having better understanding of the game and recent changes to the plane i have to say after trying it out again after a while its actually pretty good! doesn't have much ammo to use it with but the cannon computer is a nice bonus and it catches people off guard because its such a rare plane people dont expect it to turn so good along with 4 missiles in a downtier with such speed? Fantastic plane
I do the same trick with multiple cannons (like in the Sabre F-2), except instead of the small/large caliber guns I use the weapon selector. Works like a charm...
Was gonna say the weapon selector is the best and easiest way to do it. Then you don't have to sacrifice a keybind. Only works on planes that for whatever reason have seperated ammo counts tho. But I think we all know that.
>gets like 2k subs in 2 months >yeah I hope I get another 2k in 4 months idk Man, you deserve to have more subs, I’m dead on you’ll get 10k by Christmas, maybe even 15k (don’t quote me on that tho). It’s just… you seem to be much more calm on the inside than many many others, and that charms me every time
Also making vids on some obscure BUT very interesting planes is also a cool thing of yours, like with this plane. I doubt I’d ever consider it after having flown it for 5 games and just saying to myself “this is shit, tiger’s better”, but now I will definitely try it out when I get to my pc, thanks to your vid!
Remember when we FIRST got this thing from the event the wings just ripped from a light fart in the wind LuL Lee says it close to the end of the video ... I still have the ticket cause I didn't use it for that certain reason. So you don't have to take off the boosters like you use to have to on the A-4E and a few other planes?
I was in this match with you! I played horribly because when I realized it was you I was starstruck. You are like the second youtuber I've been a match with lol and I like you unlike the other unnamed youtuber. GG
@@GeneralLee2000 I know I know it was a silly comment and I didn't mean to come off as such a goober or butt kisser sorry. I was tired when I posted it. GG [You fly way better then I ever will,it has to be because your on pc,and I'm on xbox.]
Hey i asked and you delivered its surprisingly nice to fly it was 10x worse when it was 9.3 but at 9.0 you get nice br a lot of downtiers and its quite fun
video 12 of reminding Lee he has the best outro on youtube also the F4D should go down to 8.7, imo. it's very similar to the Scimitar, except the Scimitar feels like it has more busted acceleration up to about mach 0.85. Other than that though, it's a lot of fun. 9.0 in general gets a fair few downtiers, unless you end up in MiG-19 hell. (hunter f1 video when) (m.b.157 video when) (g.91 r/3 video when)
This plane does wonders in AB. I know many cringe people only play RB because of superiority farts being in their nose 100% of the time, but this plane does good in AB. It shouldn’t, but it does. 4 kills before dying isn’t rare but it takes forever to spade
@@GeneralLee2000 I don’t know what the 9.0 us matchmaker is like(I don’t play the F-86F-2) I’m more used to the 9.3-9.7 matchmaker for the F-104A, and that thing really was miserable at 9.7, it’s better at 9.3, but you get a lot of 10.3 games.
It’s pretty good you don’t actually rip that often if you’re not doing bonkers maneuvers and this things gets sucked into 8.0-9.0 a little bit and 8.3-9.3 for most games I’ve only gotten 2 10.0 uptiers since Ive been playing it
I flew this again recently and I don't think its so much that wing rip was "fixed" so much as its how you fly it. It really doesn't like negative gees, including some rolls while compressing. If you have good habits then it won't be much of an issue, otherwise its something to be cognizant about.
This plane got done dirty by gaijn. It supposed to break Mach at level flight and it can’t get any speed at altitude. Meanwhile it should have self sealing tanks as well as the ability to carry two 2k bombs with a ccip. But nooooo. It also has the ability to take 2 aim-7Cs, sure they’re the worst radar missles in the game, but potent in certain situations.
Yeah, maybe I'll pass. I just don't want another plane that rips the second you do a high-G maneuver on more than one axis, has stock cannons that shoot sideways, and to boot you need to pay 31 bucks to xXx_pUsSy_Sl4Y3r_69_xXx 🤣

was waiting for this plane :) i want f106 so bad man america needs more deltas
F-106 would be super cool
I want the whole century series. So far we have the 100, 104, and 105. The 101, 102, and 106 would all be nice additions
@@GeneralLee2000 Dont forget the f-102

yes i got it today because of this video and im loving it
Now that it’s rip problem has been resolved might have to eventually pick it up. Been loving the content lately keep up the great work
o7, I'll do my best!

4:25 that wreckage came too close for comfort lmao.

i also love how teeny tiny the afterburner is on this thing it looks kinda goofy
It's so smol

@@AJ.Arciniega on launch it ripped at any turn above 800-900kph
You should check out the C2A1, had it for a long time and never really figured it out fully
YEAAAAAA LETS GOOO
Me: I want J-35.
Mom: We have J-35 at home.
The J-35 at home:
It's trying OK
I have F11 but I'd much rather have this as you can actually dogfight. I hate being at the mercy of matchmaking.
you can double the ammo pool if you use weapon selector C:
You know, I may have talked about that in the video :)
@@GeneralLee2000 you did, but with left click and right click!
thats the same thing but not!!!

Morning!
Don't you lecture me with your 30 dollar delta
Smh my head
How did you get it?!
dorito spicy
pin
Budget J35A
True!!!
you uninstall the wing boosters and you'll never rip no matter what you do :P
will you maybe play the f104 a 9.3? its criminally undertiered
I actually made a video when it first went to 9.3 if you wanna watch that :)
See lee it is quite good right. :))
Indeed!
I was gonna watch...then got ear rapped by a chip eating sound affect...
I almost used a Doritos ad instead 😁
Wassup lee?

NO, BAD SKINK
