@@firestar7890 It would make sense for them to be at a lower br due to the flight performance of the British phantoms, and the fact that they have Aim 7E2s, not the Aim 7F.

Each one is much better than the British phantom in both flight performance and weaponry. The only way for the British phantoms to remain at 12.0br would be if it got Aim 9Ls. In its current state it is practically an 11.3br aircraft at the minimum.
Love this plane. It was my main grinder to get to top tier. Almost never ripped my wings in it, and got plenty of kills in up tiers to 11.0 (before the update). Flying up to 5000m and picking off players far below with AIM-9Ds will never get old.
The aim9d has got to be one of the best missiles at the br, and its on a strong airframe after the wingrip changes. Definite overlook on gaijoobles part.
The D draken is also in a good spot staying at 10.3 while the primium XS is now 11.3. Yeah 2 less missles and no flairs, but you still got the nutty flight performance and since everything popular around it moved up it’s basically been moved down. (Oh and Grippy A is gaming at 13.0 being able to face 12.0 premium wall)
@@MrBosszillaGaming You could be in a Mirage IIIC which seems similar but mostly worse in every way. I might like magic 1s better than 9Ds. Especially since they buffed the magic range whenever that was.
Gaijin should put more separation between: missiles or not, flares and no flares, radar missiles and not. If they mix different eras, it's a mess. There are subsonics jets without missiles and CM that fight at 10.0
Personally i think they missed bringing this up because the F8E at 10.3 previously was just better with the wing ripping not being as big an issue and it having Aim-9C's. Give it time and this should go up too
@@robertgaudet7407 Yeah that also sucks. To be fair, I'm sure IRL the US had some kind of policy in place for a while that limited the level of technology they sold to other NATO nations, so I could believe they only sold France, Belgium, etc. AIM-9B at first. The Soviets did the exact same with export models of their aircraft.
It’s funny to me that all these changes happen as I got to the F8U-2 and it becomes one of the best and funnest planes. Sadly I’m on vacation and only have access to war thunder mobile and my premium account expires later this week
Also having the F-8E in game, it makes 0 sense to have this thing with flares or AIM-9Ds... It would perfectly make sense at 10.0 like that, but Gaijin will never remove anything in order to balance things.
similar case is the m3c, r530 is actually great at 10.0 with real standoff capability compared to contemporary fox1s, and the only jet that really poses a threat to it is the crusader itself
I was doing some testing with the wings with diff fuel amounts and you can get to 15gs before you snap your wings now so pretty much will never happen in a normal match as you'd have to be rolling and pulling like crazy for it to happen with a very low fuel load
Been passively grinding the F8U but now after the decal release and the br changes I'm gonna chug it out tonight. Lets ball. (I just saw a person with only 4 days and the first 20 vehicles were premiums wtf)
The Super Etendard is still 10.0 I think. It has really good flight performance for an attacker, two Magic 1, DEFA, 180 countermeasures and no afterburner allows it to bring about 10 minutes of fuel.
After versing this thing all the time in my MIG-21 i had to have a look for myself, on paper it looks insane and yep it's OP at 10.0 tbh. I'm not a great air player but i have over a 3.0K/D in this thing, maybe it's just the event bringing out scrubs who knows
crazy how the f-16a (BE) is 13.3 with no SARH or ARH missiles (higher BR than the F-15a/j/baz) also JH-7 gets the optimal A-A loadout stock making the other air to air missile modifications useles
Only getting a crit on that A-10 at 9:41 and then immediately getting the kill stolen made me mad just watching. I would've stopped playing the game for a few hours after that shit.
8:36 I'm not that new... Okay yes I am and I suck, but I gained knowledge and now after 3 days I can dodge missiles, also somehow I survived the rest of my team 🤣
The fact that the mig 15 or yak30 faces this constantly baffles me. No flares, an engine and climb rate so bad you have to take minimum fuel to even keep up with a realistic top speed of 700kmh and a turn rate that doesn’t matter because all you face is boom and zoom. At the end of the match this plane
Abismal balancing, they literally remove the wing rip issue (idk why??? to my knowldege it's real) and kept it at 10.0, when it has better performance than the F8E just no radar missiles
I hated playing the f-8s because the slightest sustained turn (barely turning) ripped wings. I’m just sad that my beloved f-16aj went up to 13.0, it should have stayed at 12.0 because it only has aim-7f and aim-9l going against bvr😢for balancing reasons, gaijin should at least give aim-9m to be competitive
Feels like these br changes were incredibly rushed. I dont understand how this thing is almost an entire br spread lower than the F4C. Feels like a big panic move by gaijin.
I just bought 150 ge for double price but Im now a proud owner of THE decal and it worth buying ge for double price trust me😂(the decal is cool asf and it’ll be on all of my planes)
After a bit of testing i found out that the F8U rips its wings at 20G. (In Test Drive and dont ask how the hell i managed it. I think I did W + D + E. (E for Yaw Right)).
I am not a good pilot.. My progression stopped at the F8U -2 because to me it's really hard to make it work... I didn't play it for half a year or so.. so maybe I should revisit it.. this thing killed all the fun for me... With its stoooopid wings... they fixed them hm? .. I will give it a try.
yes they fixed them the stock grind its just horrible, 2 aim9bs, 4 aim9bs, get almost all of the mods tiers, aim9ds and its when the fun begins to make and use of the aim9ds you try to go to the sides, maybe to go to your base and wait the rush bombers to appear, use missiles and rearm if not, wait for everyone to go down and select objectives, flareless and careless aircraft
dude even before the change all u had to do was neg g every 3 seconds above 900 km/h this plane was so good before the patch people just did not wanna learn it
i have no idea why this jet didnt go up.... with the new wing rip its insanely busted bc the only reason it was 10.0 to begin with IS the wing rip so with that being fixed its the best plane in the lobby 90% of the time and not only that but you get SO many downteirs
“I’m bait for all my teammates” literally 95% of my games
yeah just go side at the beginning and com in seconde wave.. if u go in first everybody go on you and u play defensive
@@RusseWillis would definitely work if my team didn’t either steamroll the other team or get steamrolled.
@@wiktorRayal 🤷 I play like that and I have 2/5 kill par games

Fixed the wing rip issue a little bit, kept it at 10.0. Gaijin is clearly biased toward the _Meughh :D_ jet
This thing is lower br than the F4C btw, gaijin is cooking too hard
Not only lower but 0.7 BR lower now lmao. You need almost full uptier to see F-4C now which is wild
They are not cooking, they are burning the meal.
@@SmoggyFroggy they have burnt the meal, the kitchen, and the first two stories of the house
As we say in sweden. Nu är det kokta fläsket stekt (the cooked pork is now burnt basically😅)
@@jez_77it doesn’t have radar missles
It get's slightly worse. If you RTB to the forward airfield you get an airspawn.
didnt that exist before the update?
@@savvas_1367no, only for carrier landings in non-naval planes before update.
@@savvas_1367no
Only with some maps i think
Only with the tiny bases because most jets can't even take off from them, so it gives you a low air spawn instead
The brit tree has me with two 12.0 rank 7s and an 11.7 in rank 8, this br change was ruuushed
ranks don’t really matter in terms of br bc that one 11.7 is the tornado gr.1 which is a strike aircraft and not arb focused.

The wing ripping buff isnt just a little buffer before your wing rips, it just doesn't rip most of the time.
