That Tor intercepting your bomb was one of the biggest IQ plays I've seen from a SAM.
The TOR was made for that thing IRL (intercepting glide-bombs, AGMs and cruise missiles) so obviously it is good at it
what's kind of stupid is that TOR is a Russian Tank/SAM but Russia doesn't have it and they don't have any other 11.0 SAM/SPAA just makes no sense.it would be like when adding the F-16 they didn't give it to USA
That's one of the roles of the Tor
I love trolling A-10a in my Tunguska bc they will fire a Maverick at me and I’ll just missile proxy it out of the sky lol.
Well I mean that's the sort of thing it's capable of.
When you were talking about your friend who really enjoys F-16 in DCS the first person that I thought about was OperatorDrewski
The F-16 is just so frigging awesome in DCS - just love it!
Man, your CAS is always on point or at least the overwhelming majority of the time and it was great seeing Yedi, you guys have such amazing chemistry, definitely try to bring him into more future videos!
Always fun to see myself in your videos :) Met you like 4 different times this week
Hey, I was on your team in that Stalingrad game! It was really close, a real nail biter! You got some nice bombing runs in there! Good game!
Bro so was i
bro me too
So satisfying watching the double kills!!
banana pudding

Advanced Monke Food
I've seen people justify the Tornado's BR by the fact it has 4 guided bombs. But this thing also has that and is better in every other way so now what's the excuse 😂
did you just listen? if you didn't watch the video, f16 used 4 homing bombs that can track 4 targets at once.
@@marcinpl5643
As specified in the video, the F16 is also a far more advanced platform in terms of handling and versatility.
The Tornado is a glorified brick with only x2 9L for AA, and still hasnt gotten more ordonance options like irl to make it more versatile.
Many vehicles have guided bombs, but the difference is the platorm that makes the cut, the bomb can track 100 targets if it wants, but if the platorm on wich is mounted cannot manuver into position properly, its tracking ability is near compromised.
The Tornado is a decent plane at what it does, but other than that, its lackluster at best.
@@marcinpl5643 you got really lost there bud.
@@Skinny_El.Funky6.9 A-10 / A7E these planes fly like bricks and are slow, but the armament makes them the best CAS planes: walleye, maverick, 30mm gun. The design of the airframe does not determine whether it will provide good direct air support, but the attached armament will. P47 with mavericks in thermo is better than f16 with domb bombs.
@@marcinpl5643
My brother in Christ, we started off from comparing a multi-role light weight aircraft to an strategic bombing with limited anything else wise.
Now you compare subsonic strike aircraft into the fray.
The A10 and A7s are quite nimble, can cause a lot of trouble outside their statcard parameters.
A10s, like the Su25, are subsonic, with a thighter turncircle, can roll better than the Tornado with limited capacity due to it beeing an overweight swing-wing, and a thin one at that. The A10 has also that 30mm to annoy ground targets after it ran out of any ordanance.
A7s are, again more agile in nature than the Tornado, it cant go supersonic, but it doesnt need to.
It can reliably stay on target and manuver quicker if it needes to, and once it ran out of ordanance, can get the jump on other planes with ease.
Half second delay, juuuuust enough so your enemy knows they're dead before they die.
Exactly. If a second, they may just get away.
you're done, you're done , what an exciting gameplay
Agm-65’s are only useful at killing SPAA. You can get slightly more range than the GBU-8.
and helicopters hehe
if you are lucky enough for it to actually lock and not self detonate right after launch.
@@fire_drake12.arc.24 Yeah that seems to be the general theme in this game recently, no matter which ordnance ...
If you go up to about stall flip around and drope it top down mavericks work great
I love it how yeddi did not saw the aircraft’s behind him at arround minute 7
Mig-27's have had similar capabilities for a while now, albeit with laser guided munitions. With the last update, they don't even render for the spaa with how high they climb.
Kinda rude the the USA hasn’t gotten an F-16 with a lantern pod to spot tanks from 20km away.
@@MD-wn4ui US AH64D Longbow is actually missing the Longbow missile even now. Been years.
10:40 you did gods work 💀
nice to see yeddi in another video
My Nr1 CAS is still the A7E, the walleyes are really nice
I think Mavs are awful against tanks, but I LOVE them for SEAD. They can still club SAMs like nothing else and it’s worth bringing a rack just for that IMO
Literally their only use sadly
@@MD-wn4ui they even struggle with that unfortunately. TV Guided locking is broken as hell and doesnt work half the time. They need to fix it.
This man deserves more then 51.8k
More cas vids with other nations at top tier pls
The mavericks still work. It doesn’t cost any more to take 6 mavericks with 2 gbu’s and 4 sidewinders. The gbu’s are more consistent but only slightly. You still get the kill with the mavericks most of the time. I’d rather have the potential to kill 8 than to kill 4.
love it :D
Justin I saw you in a match earlier and you were spinning in the zulu
So hard to see that thing in the air, especially with Sidam Mistral
I feel like you are really lucky that you just got to ground pound the entire game... Normally other enemy aircraft show up and ruin my day.
these seem to track soo well, but the paveway's either don't track, go too far, or just randomly disappear, i have dropped them off pylon, pulled up, then pressed 'u' to watch it in and it isn't there... what
Will you play the Tornado as well, brother?
Alexa stopp! Nice one Jedi 😂
Loving those German vibes. Greetings from Bavaria
Imagine not getting zapped instantly by AA
bro that f16 skin is real, sioux city air guard is 45 ish mins from me. siouxland is the area im from. how tf did i learn this from warthunder lmfao
You should player the conquer next
How about a tutorial starting with keybinds to how to do this. I can't find ANY good guides.
how can u clib like this with pantsir and flak rak???
9:57
I was so fckn confused by the "Alexa Stopp"
Why would he do this.... XD
Hey @JustinPlays! I got a question. I noticed that the sound that plays when you kill an enemy is a different than the default War Thunder sound for it. Did you edit the whole video and filtered it every single time or did you do that somehow else? Thank you.
Just some sound bites edited into the video, adds some character xP
@@JustinPlaysTV okay, I understand that, but how did you deactivate the original war thunder sound? Or did you really cut it out in the post production of the video? =)
I saw you in a game with Black Night :) doing a video?
Just live streams xP
I use those whenever I can I always get 4-6 kills because they are to big you just have to wait to catch to players coupling up and 💀
turn off "auto sight stabilization" in your settings. having it on makes your ordinance slew forward after each launch, turning it off gives you a pseudo targeting pod.
True, it was really annoying for me until I saw Hunters video. Helps a ton.
what does that do and is it under options or settings?
@@spikedthenuke7383 its under options. It resets your guided weapons to facing the front of the plane instead of keeping the seeker where you last fired.
@@lt.lettuce2023 thank you bro
Most intuitive CAS gameplay
Bro got the GTA skin (*_*)
Nice
I am a mediocre pilot in this game, and holy shit apparently I am blind or need to adjust my settings :D For the love of G-d, I cannot really spot the grey tones on white background or other grey-ish backgrounds :( But it definitely was fun!
if it makes you feel better i cant spot shit no matter what lol
@@perplexity6996 I feel you on that one :D
@@yedidyah and that is why is bring my 5000kg bomb
Can the GBUs be used as dumb bombs? I mean drop them without locking?
Why are the SAMs flying like Aim9Bs?
My drops are always very unpredictable with hit or miss. Could you explain how to lock the gbu-8 properly, when and how to drop etc?
I'm still getting it right myself tbh. Once I feel overwhelmed mastered it, I'll make a video in detail xP
I just started using these on my A10 after I realized my mavs sucked
I’ve had some issues with the gbu mainly it landing directly on tanks and not blowing them up while they sit still
I’ve had that bug too
what is that skin on the f-16?
i want this bird in DCS soooo badly
The world is small it seems
The way to fix this is to make the SPAA already use an ARH mechanic not an MCLOS guidance for the missile since an SAM would be smarter thana guy wihta mouse guiding a missile
We don’t have any ARH SAMS except maybe the Tor? Idk
@@MD-wn4ui thats why we need them already, because its getting a little harder to kill a aircraft known for dodging SAMs but we dont even have a SAM.
An ARH mechanic makes no sense, the most they could do is make them proper SARH’s and force/encourage ground to air weaponry to have continuous locks for better guidance
I'd rather have GBU over the mavericks any day of the week, the most fun I had in the Israeli A4E 3 guided bombs in 8.7 is lovely
arent you playing an 11.7 vs 10.0 to 11.0 SPAAs
planes have a much larger teamwork range. Thats why your friends get the teamwork
Can't wait for f-2. Japan is lacking in guided munition part. Not to mention only IR SAM as the SPAA. Wish we got FOX3 for those heli bastard....
One video with amx 10rc,
I’ve also noticed that whenever a squad mate get a kill, I get “Teamwork”. No matter how close they are. Not gonna send a report about it tho 16:13
“Ground” rb
They were op, as the will now be nerfed in who knows how long
Hey Justin, if you see my comment
Can you please play with Tiger HAD it got the better missiles hell fire K version
Tbh, the GBU tactics you used, aren't new, they have been used in things like MiG23 and F4, it's just like you said, the platform
that is an unrealistic but very nice skin.
The skin is historical, funny enough.
@@JustinPlaysTV really. i guess it was for some kind of airshow because there ain’t no way somebody rolled up to desert storm in a pimped out f-16😂
Noice
Why was your main cas F5e? Why not F4e? What was better with it?
The F4 flies like a bus when used as CAS, I never found it super efficient. F5E acts almost like the F16 which was nice in its time xP
@@JustinPlaysTV Thanks for the reply, i ll try both :)
ko bisa gaada yang make tunguska ya
The current state of Mavericks is my sole argument as to way Helicopters need a more expensive SP cost while Aircraft need a cheaper SP cost.
Hellfires/other ATGMs mounted on Helicopters outrange and outperform airborne ATGMs in all categories including penetration, range, guidance, and SP cost. It's disgusting.
A7E with walleye is better because it has thermal vision and one more bomb :). The speed is compensated by the larger wings on the bombs, thanks to which it can be dropped from 9km at an altitude of 2500m and easily reach the target.
I would say the ability of the F16 to become an incredibly good fighter after dropping its GBUs makes it a better pick as a multirole
@@shinanodafloof4491 i would go for more cas possibilities instead of air combat, it's a much better solution for me because in almost every match i never have a situation where i need to use airplane maneuverability.
@@marcinpl5643 It’s a personal opinion. I usually take out a plane with an element of air to air capability since I feel that half the job of taking out a plane is also to deny the enemy team CAS
Except a7e is impossible to grind its mods. You are at 10.7 facing top tier jet in a subsonic bus plane with shitty missiles
Are GBU fire and forget?? once you lasered the target and released, it will self track unlike Paveways / AGM require constant lock
TV is fire and forget, laser requires a constant target.
@@MD-wn4ui tv will auto track?
@@Kaijiro____93 yes
It's the disparity between CAS and anti-air at high BR that keeps me below BR 7.0 most days. Just dealing with propeller planes with rockets or bombs as big as an SUV are bad enough, but at least my anti-air has a chance against those.
I think i know you from youtube (daviedouglas) 👁️👁️
"Alexa Stop"
the Dutch chain of command "accidently" bombing that munitions factory without considering civilian casualties belike:
I dont understand it on the A-10A the are bad but on the F-16 the are insane!?
One is a Mach 2 fighter, the other is not.
Sioux City Iowa or south dakota
Cas that can bombs from 8 km away vs spaa that can barely lock into planes at 3km. Sounds really fair for for ground vehicles.
High tier SPAA is able to lauch rockets at ranges of 10km tho
Same issue I face, especially when all top tier flying near the ground and you can’t lock on them even if they close
If you're using a Shilka or whatever at 11.7 that's your problem. You should be using a 2S6 or any of the other incredible SPAAs at the 11.0. (FlaRakRad etc.)
yea SPAA at top tier is extremely good though
@@aminali6435 then the guided bombs will be useless
This look fun don't know why Gaijin want make the grind so bad it take well over a year or more just to unlock that level of tier they need to fix the grind in this game so people can play the game not be trap in low- mid tier of the game
CAS can climb so far up and drop a bomb fire and forget bomb on you, from range you cant even retaliate. fun
Bro this is 11.0, all cas arguments are moot we have the flak truck and ADATS 💀💀
@@spideysquestionablyusedcha5069 Cool your radar still has a blind spot above you in those vehicles and even if you notice and lock the plane it can go supersonic and at altitude 10+ km if the pilot is clever enough
I like that you are flying really high... but when im in my flarak u wont get away with this cheesy tactic :)
Thats what mavericks are for buddy and you can't do nothing about them LOL
Most retardedly OP cas plane at that tier.
6x mavericks, 2x guided bombs, 1x 500lbs and 4 aim9L. Compare that to the tornado at 11.3, which has 4x guided bombs, and 2x aim9l and thats it.
i dont think theyre broken at all, they break lock all the time and when you are at top tier, spaa (the ones i use like the torr) can shoot jets down with real ease
Can you bomb a helicopterhelicopter?
I literally played against u and didn't even realize it was you 🤣
bro same I was in the stalingrad game as the mirage 2k bozo cause that was the worst game I've ever played
Is this one guys German cuz he said "alexa stop" in the most german way possible xD
Eres amigo de Carlitoplay

Alexa: Stop
idk if i would call it imbalanced. to me it's no less imbalanced than low tier CAS. there have been plenty of times i get killed spawning in by radar SAM with their radar turned off so i dont get a ping or spike. that being said, is it fun? hell no. it's really fun to be the dropper, but to get dropped on is really frustrating. the thing is though that asymmetrical gameplay like this is the bedrock of war thunder, this game is built off schadenfreude, so idk what we could do to fix it.
SAMs at top tier are just missing their ability to raise and lower the radar search angles. If gaijin would get off their ass there would be no reason to have an illusion that CAS is OP at top tier. Literally the only time it is effective is if you arent on radar, which requires you to climb to space; which is only possible because radar SPAA are missing a crucial feature meant to combat this exact tactic.
The amount of fuel you take hurts me
Better use mavericks
Just spawn in a SPAA bruh
Dont say it is OP cause when gaijin comes along they'll nerf something that finally works. Plus players are gonna say it is OP as well because youtubers and streamers said its OP. Mind you, that you are a great WT player.
I remember GBU's on the F4E and A10 and those were locking onto the ground most of the time.
lmao the A-10 cant even effectively use GBU's, it isnt fast enough to give them range and due to that same lack of speed, it also cant get enough altitude to give them range either. The only guided ordnance on them that is actually somewhat viable are the mavericks and even those are garbage because theyre TV guided. The only exception is the IR guided mavericks but thats literally because it is using an entirely different guidance system that isnt shit.
@@fire_drake12.arc.24 Yeah I know about the A10 that sucks with GBUs due to lack of speed. But the phantom doesnt have these issues. Idk perhaps I should revisit the F4E.
The exact same load outs have been on the f4e for a longs ass time now
And it flies like a bus with them, hence why I never enjoyed them as much as this.
@@JustinPlaysTV fair enough
And germany gets a Tornado with only dumb Bombs...
I love it so much, it's the best multi-role fighter
Who wants the f-16xl now as well lol
I hope we get better spaa soon, this is so unfair, I hated it when we were getting nuked by mig27k's and I hate that we can do it efficiently now too although revenge is sweet.
CAS climbing above the SPAA Radar makes it nearly uncounterable...bad game design
Well idk still 6 mavericks and 2 bombs are much better
16:34. NO, plz dont kill the brazilians!
You will always have haters, even if u kick ur own butt, the haters will weheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee anyways. U better ignore those so u dont stress out.
sorry but in general TV Guided munitions are garbage period. They struggle to lock stuff constantly and even then they dont actually track targets beyond 5-6km, which defeats the purpose of them. This also very specifically hinders the premium A-10. They need to buff TV munitions so they arent shit, and remove the artificial armament limitations on both A-10s as well as un-nerf them. Theyre the same plane, they should be able to carry the same shit, and the same AMOUNT of shit. Make them both 10.3 and quit with the artificial nerfs.
I hate this plane bullshit and hope that gayjin brings the Tank only Games
