Come on, get him, get him, get him, oh critical, okay. Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, come on, you fat bitch. Really are, oh. This happens to be possibly the worst operation summer event vehicle that I have ever gotten my hands to test drive or fly. I was really excited for this aircraft, it's got a unique history, unfortunately it's probably for the better. This thing had an incredibly short service life in the real world and I expected it will and war thunder. It's basically did an arrival here and it's 0.3 batter rating higher than a better aircraft, the F11F, which again, is really cool. Much better, F-Rame than this one. What you're getting here is basically an A4 Skyhawk that can carry A9Bs, right, and you can also carry a mighty mouse, there's no customisable loadout for this machine, there is no countermeasures. This thing is basically a very heavy A4 Skyhawk but with an afterburner as I said before. The only saving grace really comes out of the cannons that this thing has, the Colt Mark 12's. But it's only got 260 brands of ammunition, it is a little lackluster. And the radar is a nice addition although its usability in game is probably subject to the bake, considering it's not going to have the greatest missiles out there. And should I mention this thing has a ridiculous repair cost of 20,000 silver lions. Yeah, a machine that isn't exactly starting off on the right foot. Speaking of which, let's try and make this machine work, it's arsehole. Now we can't really work its arsehole when you do negative 2G's. Yep, that's right, this thing has the same wing ripping issue as any of the A4's and it feels incredibly sluggish. Try to out-dive and just run away from an enemy there. We're going to end up by death spiraling and trying to recover rather slowly. Now I don't put a missile out on this Yacht 38, but he'll easily avoid it due to the missile arc being a bit too low. Watch this. Doing 970km an hour, it's not pulling out. And this is typical even when I don't have the left wing or hold on my left wing as well I should say. Yeah, this thing's elevator is incredibly poor and with no countermeasures too, it makes dogfighting a pain in the ass. Alas, we are making our way back to the airfield although that big 21 does look a little bit juicy. So we'll try and curse this thing and coerce this thing to move towards that big 21. Alright, he sees that we're turning him towards him now so let's see if we can actually get it a bit of a turn going. Even when combat flaps this thing is utterly horrible and as you see I'm struggling with the airframe here. Give it a good old spray and well that SPSK says good night as we go back and potentially make it back to the airfield. Who knows. Now it does have an air brake which is fairly useful but again it is the really subject to a situation where you absolutely need it for example like landing on a airfield where you might need a bit more speed or you might need a little less. Regardless, it does slap sometimes but oftentimes you end up by ripping which I forgot to include in that clip before but oh well we're going to run with it. Now the missiles they can oftentimes surprise blind players like for example this Milan here. Sometimes you can slap with that one and other times you get really good matches depending on well your team work. Now because it has a decent top speed and a very good climb rate this machine is particularly interesting or an interceptor. Speaking of intercepting things there goes that team too. He did a standard chance anyway we're going to pull back around we're going to try and target that lightning as the rest of my team crumbles. Unfortunately sometimes when you're doing well you have those matches where you're doing well in an aircraft and then something the rest of the team get polished. Yeah well that's about to happen to me right now. Anyway lightning thinks he's being clever coming up behind me in the old rapid attack as he's trying to give the rabbit out to me and well that's our triple strike right there. Now the rest of the team gets a bit of shit to the brain and I end up by taking an aim on El from an A10. Speaking of A10s this thing is particularly good at taking out A10s. Yeah go figure it mind you I think any aircraft will really take out them. Anyhow I wanted to show off this double kill here with the C-Vexons as they do try going head on. Let's try there buddy. I like my head on but I don't like my head on so let's try and get this guy from a different angle. That's a good angle I reckon. Getting on fire and causing the burn hopefully you'll burn out soon. Well it's not going to have a missile very. There we go. Yeah fast-nading aircraft this one is. Unfortunately when going for a dive on the A4 I get surprised by something around my six here. Yeah I've got no choice but to loop back down that A4 has it infinitely more maneuverable than I am. I don't know if this thing is quite maneuverable at lower speeds it's high speed handling as a troch is as well. It's really, it's really doing anything. So there we go. Rip the wing. Classic mistake right there and then I'm going to just sacrifice it all and get head on the A4. Right I don't want to be in this match anymore. I'll fly with a dead left wing. Next game killing a jaguar here goes a little bit of a flat spin going out then again rip the wing at negative two g's. Yeah in fact I didn't rip there. What actually happened was a missile from an A5c basically clipped me and then here there's a second whistle. Now do you know any ones being a bit special this match then we'll go get a kill on him and I wanted to showcase this. Oh tree because flying through a tree and getting a critical hit was on a nap. Let's go take out a big 21. I love the guns and it's the absolutely fantastic. The placement of them at 400 timing distance is beautiful. And the fuel I tend to take about 20 minutes on average depending on what the match is. On larger maps you know 24 minutes is good but you know you coming across this SU7. He has no idea I'm here. We're just going to give him the right out of the gun. It's just so much easier. And last clip today is an actual decent dogfight. There are three to four enemy aircraft behind me and a rolling around me and sort of 12. We do take damage in the left wing. You can see it's incredibly easy to take damage. Trying to hit that yak 30. I want that yak 30 dead. I didn't place it. A serial man of my ammunition there. Pro tip when using this thing I found out after playing this match. We use a weapon selector to select one gun at a time by saving a punch. I'm going to hit the ground there. He doesn't know that but is winged. Basically playing off. The good thing trusting fight. But unfortunately there was so many other aircraft around that I can't really do much. Trying to pull the airframe around even with combat flaps. It's just not really going to do anything. Of course what else do I have on flying directly at me. So why not? Yeah. The best thing is utter garbage. I mean I'm sure it will get better. Is it really worth your effort though and worth the grind? I'm not entirely sure. It's something that I was really, really excited for and I feel like after the 20 matches that I have played in this machine I haven't really improved due to the fact that it's incredibly likely that you'll rip your wings or some other extraordinary event will actually happen causing you to crash into a tree or something like that. Again, no countermeasures makes this thing a bit of a pain. It doesn't turn particularly well unless you're at very low speeds. It is a carrier based interceptor which apparently the US Navy didn't need so there's that. And with 20,000 silver lions to repair this machine is it worth it? Now it is certainly not. I mean I know this has been a short 8 minute video but this thing is god awful and even worse than the operation 2020 vehicle which was the F11F Tiger. Yeah, that thing was fun and interesting when it came out there. It's at 9.3 is a bit of a struggle bus and though it doesn't really sit anywhere else because you can't really put it at 8.7 because it will probably dominate at that kind of battery rating. Even 9.0 wouldn't be good enough for this one either. It's sort of in a weird place because of its radar and I think that's why they've put it up there. It's a flight performance and it's insane climb rate. It's rather disappointing to see. I feel like that had it had more guns, more ammunition. It would have been fantastic and the rate of climb is really the only thing to talk about of this machine. Something else is rather effy and does compromise and overall very interesting aircraft that could have been a bit better. I guess it's a true example of what it is to its real life counterpart. Right, I'm off to play 30 more matches in this machine to try and understand if I can actually get a decent game in it. My name is Ash, thank you so much for watching and I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye.
