Personally, I'm a huge fan of the Jaguar as a result of playing some ~250 spawns in EC Air Sim in a talisman'd Jaguar IS. It's much more capable than people make it out to be, I believe, because it pulls so damn hard in those first two turns that you can finish the fight quickly. Those damn combat flaps are legendary.

Well done! I was playing the Jaguar GR.1 yesterday also. I am still trying to spade it, but have been able to get a few 4-kill matches by quickly launching the AIM-9Gs, landing, re-arming and repeating, but it is very situational. Mostly, I have been struggling against the flight performance of the opposition. I am very surprised that you scored the hit on the Mig-21 at 2:04; I am still awful with the Adens. I have only had very limited success in ground attack. Experiencing silver lion deficits recently, and was experimenting with loading bombs on the Jaguar, but it seems that anything more than the 250 pound bombs and it is no longer capable of accelerating to its top speed before reaching the other side of the map. Satisfying kill on the AV-8 - that fight did not initially seem like it was going to end well. I am not sure if you aware aware of this, but if you bound different keys to lock and fire the missile, you can repress the lock key after the IR seeker tracks the sun to reset the lock.
@mattssecondchannel9 күн бұрын
The Jaguar does sit in an odd place in Air RB - i find it works best as a support fighter. I do have different binds for my weapon types but in the moment of the battle didn't see the point to kill the lock on the sun as the AV8 was flaring and the 9G would be a bit of a wasted shot anyway - the only way I was realistically going to win that battle was with guns in the end - or if I had more fuel, when he ran out of flares

Plane if you can call it that... To begin with, the I-15 plane is completely Arcade in both RB and SB, pure science fiction, it has nothing to do with reality. It is an airplane for novices, apart from the fact that it is a USSR indoctrinator for donkeys, it is favored by Gaijin... along with the souped-up I-15, the I-16 and the BB-1. Therefore, an aerial combat with any of those planes is purely Arcade vs. Realistic or Simulation, as they say. "Are you one-armed? That's what the USSR is for" the failures. They may start to cry.

because the elevator works wrong - it works in the oposite way to how physics works. That's what makes it unplayable lol It's a bit of a joke amongst WT players to call things "literally unplayable" for the smallest of issues - like a hull machine gun on a tank not being modelled, or something having the wrong shade of paint

He claims it has "tiny rifle-caliber guns..." without mentioning that the caliber is bigger than virtually all US, Japanese, USSR, French, and British guns of the same BR.
@mattssecondchannel Жыл бұрын
ah, yes, I can see how this would make a difference. The He-100 fires 7.92mm rounds The USSR planes mostly have 7.62mm rounds The UK and Japan have 7.7mm The USA have 7.7mm as well (although at this BR there are those with some 12.7mm weapons) France probably comes off worse with their 7.5mm weapons They are all pretty similar sizes, but I suppose if we look at the French round size and compare, that is a difference of 0.42mm per round. Whilst this might be a miniscule disadvantage, more often than not these aircraft that use this caliber tend to have more guns than the HE-100 so i think kinda make up for it. It's not like the he-100 is firing cannons here and has a wild advantage weapon-wise over the adversaries at this BR

this things flight model is bullshit in game , at low speed you have more agility than high speed in a swept wing aircraft? also its acceleration and thrust to weight make no sense. this aircrafts engines and power Made it a icon. being documented as being able to accelerate in a vertical climb and was better than the f4 phantoms that the uk had in service in a intercept role as why would this thing have operated until 1980. whoever does the historical data for top tier British vehicles in war thunder is either incompetent ( the imperial war museum document the lightning as able to accelerate in a climb how can he not find that) or majorly biased .

To be honest here there's no game or simulator that can justify the Lightning's agility... granted after I watched an interview with Ian Black who flew them in 86' said once fighters like the F-15, 16, 14 and other modern types she was outclassed and didn't even have an RWR.. hence why they were retired quickly by 1988.. she's a brilliant point-defence fighter in protecting UK airspace but not an aircraft that would go to war... Loving the footage though Matt, and nice flying. 😀

Well, against early generation MiG's, Mirage's and F-104 era types it was good if not better but I've watched your footage and live feeds you've done on WT and granted you can see the difference of how the Lightning has been neutered... Some developers of WT are biased towards certain spec types/eras/nation based aircraft and they haven't done the British side of aviation any favours.. maybe enough noise from the communities may change things?
