Gaijin Doesn't Know Where to Put This | F2H-2

[@mo_2464]

I swear that gaijins decides brs of some planes by throwing a dart and seeing where it lands

[@WordedDrake]

B29's can see AIM-9B's.

[@barniem3148]

All player stats driven - which is the WORST way to balance a game... If the game was balanced properly you'd have absolute anarchy for months, particularly from German and Russian players; because a lot of their vehicles are grossly undertiered due to being played by more new / bad players that tank the stats. It's unbelievable how much hand holding those nations gets with their vehicles. A lot of skilled players maining countries like France and Britain, where their vehicles are nerfed into the ground by Gaijin due to inflated stats when they're facing blind players in ground RB maining Germany etc.

[@hvavvgme]

you forgot how their guided you idiot, AIM-9B's are IR guided and propeller aircraft almost have NO heat coming outta them for long ranges

[@yatzeegamingop]

This thing used to be 8.0 in sabre v mig days. 7.3 sounds sweet.

[@Bullet4MyEnemy]

The Sabre and MiG used to be 9.0 in those days, so really it hasn’t changed.

[@dilldoe1991]

I played it a ton right after it got moved to 7.3 and I can confidently say it’s pretty damn strong mainly due to the engine power and speed compared to everything else

[@FusionTrain]

the F2H was my first jet in War Thunder and that was back in the days where top tier was Mig-15 vs Sabre on Korea It was such a fun plane back then

[@LURKTec]

It's insanely fucking OP at 7.3

[@TheRimBrakeGuy]

flying vs mig15s su11s la200s and other russian bias is still a pain

[@The0rnate]

Man, I’m digging the new intros! As someone who only started WT about 6 months ago, I love the background/history/context on a plane with the vapor wave background before jumping into the gameplay+commentary. 👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you!

[@himself147]

Same dude, giving off popo medic vibes with the fantastic edits!

Same bro

[@terribleplayerWT]

love these early jet dogfights, def my favorite part of warthunder to play aswell

[@michalspisar2067]

Joob ascending above and beyond with the soundtrack and edit in his reviews lol i love this shid

[@Ransom-f8e]

I think gaijin should put this in my hanger, that would be a good spot

[@smigoltime]

8.0 performance with pilots who would die to 6.0

[@olafkwiatkowski3785]

that means it should go to 7.0 /s

[@dogeness]

More like 7.7 tbh

[@thickboi7570]

By this point the b29 at 7.3 is just a free kill in air rb for the enemies

[@TehShinegami]

it's a free kill by default not gonna lie

[@djendjendjendjendjen9442]

New intro format is so cool!!

[@bushboi]

Thanks for the high quality videos and the great intro you've started doing Really appreciate it and enjoy the videos

[@CodeRed7109]

Good vid! you have been improving! keep up the good work. btw those dogfights at the end were awesome

[@S051K]

That LA-200 fully tried stealing your kill while he was flatspinning and you were .4km away. What makes you think he was using any braincells whatsoever that game when he took the headon with the IL-28 lmao. Love the new intro btw

[@Rumble_Pak]

The F2H-2 has become one of, if not, my favorite low-tier jet in the entire game and I'm glad it's at 7.3 where it belongs IMO. I can't believe Gaijin actually put this thing up at 8.3 at some time which is just absurd. No way it could compete with the fighters in that bracket. Here's hoping it stays at 7.3, because I want to be able to fly it out without getting sad.

[@jpc6485]

It's pretty overpowered at 7.3 though. This video and most of these comments don't seem to think that but it's true.

[@Rumble_Pak]

​@@jpc6485Honestly fair, the Banshee could go up to 7.7 and it'd still be fine. Anything higher than that is absurd though. Although I do think the Banshee fits in right at 7.3, jack of all trades but master of none which still takes skill to fly.

[@katyusha1283]

​@@jpc6485 It faces a lot of other 7.3-8.3 jets anyway. The downtiers are very rare.

[@crusader-j4126]

the F2H-2 is definitely an interesting one, it sits in a spot where it can be really strong at its B.R or in a downtier but gets bullied by SU-11's and LA-200's in an uptier and planes that are way more capable then itself. I love it

[@stephenallen4635]

su11 is the same br as it and theyre pretty equally matched

[@NarwhaI95]

[@kevinhatcher3765]

I Really liked the editing style in the intro

[@Errorcutive]

2x1400 kgf engine thats the strongest thing about this plane. Most things at this br has 1x1600 or 2x800. You wont out turn anyone straight up. But you can energy fight really well. Key is to lure them into fight and make them bleed energy while keeping speed above 500kph otherwise your a brick. After the energy bleed you can recharge speed by small jinking, while doing this 10 degree climb allow you climb decently without losing speed. Once you reach 700 kph, you can decide the fight against the now limp low energy enemy. Few other tips, airbreak and lowering throttle help in hard corner turn. But dont over do it unless ur starting from 700 kph.

[@Rageaben]

I got this thing as my first jet when it was at 7.7 and I thought it was a bad jet but then I remembered at the time of course I was new to jet’s I know some of you will say skill issue get better at the game lmao but there is a lot to learn from going to prop’s to jet’s

[@SingularTurtle]

9:24 literally just being a very skilled pilot will triumph over better planes a lot of the time

[@Datroflshopper]

The sea venom whiffed that so hard I physically cringed

[@elitely6748]

Never really did play this aircraft too much I should probably fly it again soon, but I love the new intro styles though its beautiful!

[@xxcrazymanxx1001]

Dude thank you for the video and introducing me to the song Saturn mirage

[@eQui253]

I got this plane back in the days as my first main jet. Everone hated on it and it had a bad reputation... I did better in it than in the p80 (F80 today) or any other early jet. Worked for me.. I remember the guns to be a bit shot gun like.

[@OneMoreDesu]

I'm a fan of the banshee, but I got a crate talisman for the F-84 and I doubt I'll ever go back to that bracket

[@awesomechicken5551]

I got this when it was 8.0 or 8.3 i can’t remember and i remember it was bad (or i was just bad) so i never played but when it got moved down i started to play it again and i love it

[@ReviveHF]

You can treat this aircraft as the early preparation for the later American turn fighters like F-5E and F-16ADF. It has good energy retention, great climb rate and the sustain turn rate is superb for it's tier.

[@carlosadonayguardadogaleas6150]

Great climb rate? Na im always outclimbed 😅

[@foggyhaze5496]

Im loving the new intros! keep it up man

[@technology2598]

3:33 You know the way I view kill stealing is that it's like eating off another person's plate. VERY DAMN RUDE. At least the dude was bad enough that he didn't manage to steal the kill.

[@Aibao]

[@pandoranbias1622]

It used to be so good. I remember getting aces in this thing just because people didn't expect it to pop flaps and have a stall speed lower than a biplane.

[@Hadgerz]

4:50 sad that while more RP is gained from more time spent in match, so many people still play the game like a coin flip fest where they just churn through the head-ons one after the other and sometimes come out the other end of the joust with their plane intact. Early jets is roughly about the time where the game starts to get really grindy, though.

[@Manolo-wh9ib]

If you remove the extra fuel tanks by creating a custom payload loadout it's performance increases significantly

[@robanson32]

Intro and music theme are excellent

[@ae0n772]

Loving these new intros

[@Insulino36]

I really like early jets, but the battles are so boring. You take a lot of time to reach the battlefield, the fight lasts less than 5 minutes, and then there will always be a Tu-4 or a B-29 camping at around 14.000m

[@oskarpiskorek9945]

to me early jet battles are one of the most fun i can have

[@Insulino36]

@@oskarpiskorek9945 I am now enjoying the Yak-23, it plays much like an early jet but very strong at 8.7, is basically budget Ariete

[@Bdb-hp4tq]

I think people forgot that this plane went even up to 8.3 for a short period of time. Of course that was when I was still trying to spade it. Still love the plane tho

[@ProbablyNotZack]

before i watch this video i would like to fully say that this bih sits beautifully at 7.3

[@dariusandreiminca9703]

That intro was awesome, keep it up

[@cleengreeny]

I played the F2H-2 when it was 8.3 as my first jet in the entire game, and I was trying to figure out whether it was me that was trash, or the plane. It turned out to be the BR that was trash(And myself too.)

[@sfotbnandenmea]

I used it to farm F86F2 when it was the top

[@southoftheline6066]

It and the F9F-2 are my favorite jets but I don't see why the F9F-2 is at 8.0, i understand the -5 is but the -2 is about the same capability as this thing

[@Que_Drum]

Despite never being the best jets I like the 7.3-8.3 US naval jets. They’re just generally fun.

[@Dynasty0612]

The F9F-8 Cougar is my favorite of the panther line

[@thisisaduck]

The sea venom is pretty much just a better looking vampire at a better br.

[@wickedwilliwonka]

Because you're good!

[@Im_TheSaint]

its because they keep changing the flight model, if you go year by year this plane goes from energy fighting mig 15 non bis, trough outspeeding the mig 9, to out turning the meteor mk3. the same applies for its battle ratings, it ranged from fighting mig 17s trough mig 9s meteors and me 262s down to prop planes. Imo, its first itteration was its best performance spot and br spot both. These days its arguably in its worst performance spot, hence its 7.3, a battle rating completely ridicolous for a plane of its power and max speed.

[@MrBboy95]

I still remember it being OP long time ago

[@1m3agle]

You’re over using flaps, only use them to pull extra for the shot or if you need to bleed speed, they kill your turn rate and slow you down a lot

[@ultr0shot440]

I had a funny experience recently. I started playing warthunder again after years (left at tier 2😂) and have been grinding it a bit (tier 3 Russia, tier 4 us, tier 3 tanks in russia). But I remember getting into a lobby with my brand new tier 4 naval fighter and just slowly climbing at the start of the match. Saw the other planes, started diving as I got into fights and suddenly I had a mini heart attack. As I take out a Yak, I look behind me and see a red dot come closer at what feels like lightspeed to a dude that just spent all his energy to win a 2v2. As I see him go from 2km to 1km away within the same time span it took me to accelerate by 50 km/h... I started accepting my fate😂 I actually appreciate how those first pilots must have felt when a jet just rushed past them with that beautiful sound. Terrifying if it's coming after you tho😂 Meanwhile, I have a 4.0, 4.3, 5.0, 5.0, and 6.3. Vs, 2 jets... kinda felt unfair😂 (Before you ask, I prefer the P-51 nustang with canons over the other stuff I have unlocked after it, that's why I have low levels along with the higher ones).

[@no-legjohnny3691]

I'm curious how the F2H Banshee compares to the F3D Skyknight. They both seem like they share a similar set of pros and cons for their BR.

[@_Joob]

F3D is like steamy dog poo

[@no-legjohnny3691]

@@_Joob Really? I've managed to have a fair experience with it honestly. The engines are fairly strong for a 7.0 and it seems to retain energy well, maneuverability won't be winning you any ballets but it's enough to handle 262s, Su-11s and the like. AN/M2s are beautiful as usual and you get plenty of ammo. The air spawn is also very helpful and really allows for a significant altitude boost. I play it the same way I'd play a P-51, very aggressive boom-n-zoom and head-ons with targets that are too agile or too fast, and turn fights with the bulky jets stupid enough to do so. I've actually gotten some pretty high kill games with it in the past. Granted, I'm also the kind of individual who actively enjoys using the Skyraider as a fighter, lol

[@Terrados1337]

"full commit headon" is the real name of this patch. Wtf did they put in the water? Nice vid!

[@PhoniiczZ]

F2h is generally average in flight performance It does have good thrust, and accelerates well Also it can pull very high gs at speeds above 450mph do wing break. This is why i'd like the F9F to get this BR matches more often. They've always been the underdog

[@Saabporty777]

i like the new intro style

[@darad]

I've been playing WT for a long time and it seems like the number of teammates/enemies who full commit head on is higher than ever. There are matches where half the team is vaporized in the first furball (and I'm not talking about missile thunder). Maybe this is rose tinted glasses, but I don't remember it being like this years ago. Perhaps players coming into this game nowadays just don't take the time or care about learning to dogfight properly. Many of the head ons I see in matches are totally avoidable.

[@Blockhaj]

i refused to play this aircraft for years due to it being broken af for over a year or two

[@3x4n.]

damn those intros are creamy

[@SomeOrdinaryJanitor]

the F2H BR pains me because it's such a cool plane but gaijin just bounces around. i think 7.3 is a good BR for it, not quite the 8.0 of the F9F

[@parkebridgeman7223]

F2H will always be one of my favorites as it was my first jet in WT. I was using just like you were to grind the F2 Sabre and it was a great platform. It was usually the fastest jet at around 7.0 so it was pretty easy to win if you kept your speed.

[@MZIH]

I once put a 150% sl booster in this and I got 7 kills, reaping 200k sl.

[@tomaskoupil5994]

Man, you should try Sea Venom. It used to be the worst jet in the game, but it isn't anymore! British jet that isn't slow, yet still turns well!
