I bought this plane last week and although my aim with any plane isn't very good I really struggle with these guns. I think that this video is really gonna help. I think I'm turning too hard and bleeding too much speed during fights. Thanks for making this video. I've watched all your F-5 videos multiple times since I bought this plane.

[@mk6315]

Do custom battles and learn where your lead indicator is, and don’t fire until the enemy steadies up in your sights Also set the guns targeting distance to none so you won’t have a dead spot in your aim

[@eesangWT]

The map from the first match, [Operation] Hurtgen, is the map I used my ban on because the layout makes it too ridiculously small for top tier jets. The two airfields are 6 cells apart on a 9x9 map and both teams are radar locking each other immediately after takeoff at ~40km.

[@darthbader6506]

Great work, thank you man. I'll be buying the F-5C and using your code

Been addicted to your videos, they are so well put together. It somewhat feels like a class however at the same time being entertaining. You my sir are a content genius and also very good at War Thunder.

[@wreakinghavok]

Everything you said about F-5C is correct. I got it at release and grinded almost the whole tree with it, while learning how to fly (by watching your videos). I wasn't planning to spend any GJN this sale, but you are the one who raised my interest in AirRB (I am mostly ground RB player). Since you became official CC and got a decal, I decided to buy Israeli premiums, just to get you some support.

[@iwantmynametobeaslongaspos7194]

I have 2 questions 1. I’m also mainly ground and my average K/d in most planes is like .75 so is it worth getting if I’m below average at ARB and 2. Do you think it’s worth getting to grind the entire attacker tree starting from the A-20 and the fighter trees starting from the first Sabre, F80C, and the F7F.

[@Aris-tc9qy]

thank you for this, ive been struggling a bit with flying the F-5 but this video has helped me a lot :)

[@randommanchild112]

Nice vid, maybe you could try picking up the La5FN, great engine power, great guns, and great turning. Haven't seen much content on it, it could make a good video!

[@thomashanson6603]

Love that one.

[@gapast3669]

I agree, very good plane at this BR (energy fighting bellow 3000m is auto win), altho you will meet a lot of wyverns and xp-50 after sales.

[@skull1161]

im pretty bad at props but i got a 70% winrate in it and 5 kda so i think the la-5fn needs an uptier but no one plays it nose mounted shvaks that destroy anything it hits and they have fast velocity

[@rainsilent]

@@skull1161 It doesn't need an uptier. It has too many serious weaknesses. It starts locking up at 350mph and is nearly completely locked up by 380mph. Thus it cant actually put that powerful engine to use in terms of utilizing a speed advantage, nor can it dive. This means that you can only really use it in a climb advantage. There is a big catch with that though. The La-5FN is only really good 2km and below. Go above 2.5km and the La-5FN becomes an average plane for the BR at best. Combined the very quick to kick in and very bad compression and the serious drop off in engine performance above 2.5km means that you can't really utilize climb or dive as an advantage in the La-5FN outside of a very limited scope. Even 3.0 109Es become a credible threat to the La-5FN above 3km. The La-5FN might be faster but the 109Es out turn it fairly convincingly and even out climb the La-5FN. 109Fs? You don't want to see them 3km+. 3km+ they are, near as makes no difference, as fast as the La-5FN, climb much better and have a comparable turn rate. If you run into a 109F 3km+ in the La-5FN and they go vertical you pretty much automatically have lost the fight unless they somehow throw it. Many players specialize in throwing though so who is to say what will actually happen. The La-5FN is a very capable plane for the BR but it comes with serious limitations that are fairly easy to leverage against it by capable players in capable aircraft. Personally I would rather fly the Yak-9M. Its low altitude performance isn't as amazing but it has a more consistent performance profile up to 4km while being as fast in general but more agile and with better diving characteristics. Then again I will fully admit that I am impartial to the Yak line over the La line. I'd rather fly the Yak-9U over the La-7 at 4.7. That said I also think that the La-7 is one of the best 4.7s in the game, especially below 3km. I just prefer the more consistent overall performance profiles and the, in my opinion, better handling characteristics of the Yaks.

[@reddeadlycreeper]

I wouldn't say the AV-8B is limited. Sure if you weigh it down with bombs and force it to fight at low altitude it'll be relative easy pickings since most opponents can dive on it. But if you take minimum fuel(plenty) and only AAMs it has one of the best climb rates and extremely good acceleration. On top of that the VIFFING(Vectoring In Forward Flight) allows some really interesting plays and you get an appreciable amount of countermeasures at the low BR and great missiles. Though the low ammo on the cannons kills your longevity. One of the most effective things I found is that you can easily climb well above the altitudes most players would ever hope to go let alone look. Be it 8km or 10km then fly over the usual murderball to the back of the enemy team. Pick 2 targets at the back and prepare to dive. After that crank the nozzles back to 100 to brake and roll your cockpit to the enemy. Not only will this prevent compression but it'll help you line up your shots much more easily and dive on the enemy like a bat out of hell. Usually scoring a reliable 1-2 kills. Pair this with a squad and you can easily erase most of the enemy team and net easy wins. After that RTB periodically popping countermeasures. Try to avoid gunfights unless you have to since they will cost you your speed. Your missiles will be much more effective after a reversal or overshoot. Nozzle Angles to remember: 30 for sustained turns 50 for hard turns(usually full turnarounds or tightening a yoyo) 90 for perfect hover 100 for braking(the nozzles point ever so slightly forward allowing it to act as a second airbrake. You can use this to land at the airbase faster.) Dogfights are hard but you mostly want to use your ability to rapidly bleed off and gain speed along with your ability to suddenly tighten your turn circles to force your opponent into an awkward position. DO NOT HOVER and avoid low speed. You have poor control at low speed. At the very least in a 1v1 they will have a hard time getting a shot but there's a good chance you can reverse. Avoid a head on at all costs. Your adens have a relatively low rate of fire on top of the pitiful ammo. Instead go nozzles 90, roll and pull a hard elevator and try to do a wide corkscrew. You'll be nearly impossible to hit. If you play your cards right you can quite often get the upper hand even on F-5s and F-4s. Don't expect to win a 1v2. They will bleed your energy dry and you will die. Don't be afraid to flare. You have a lot of them.

Take a few bombs more and you can destroy a base on every map. The Air to Air missiles suck, but you can take out some unsuspecting players with them. Its a great plane that you can use for grinding to top tier if you know how to use it. So thank you.

The f5 is just a legendary aircraft. It was made as a cheap alternative in the Vietnam war to the f4 for southern Vietnam. It had to be simple and maneuverable so it had low maintenance cost and was still dangerous to migs. Despite not having computers for hitting ground targets it used more conventional methods which later in competitions against f18’s proved to be more accurate in the perfect conditions. Not only this the f5 consumed less fuel and was made in such a way where its weapon systems could be compatible with new missiles and ordinance. Overall a beast of a plane that unfortunately didn’t see any real combat with the us and eventually was turned into an f20 tiger shark after multiple iterations.

[@bpmgaming3351]

I ground out to tier 5 in the American tech tree before I bought this jet, so I'm not like the brand new players that just buy a premium jet and then hope to do well. I'm not great, am lucky to get a kill in a game, but even with just one kill, it's enough to offset the cost of destruction by 2x's. The RP is insane. I'm blowing through research. Even one kill and surviving to the end is good for me. If you're like me, then you'll probably enjoy it. I look forward to getting off work to get into the grind again with this jet. It is a lot to get used to, even from tier 5. Blackouts are easy to do, and at least half of my games I'm just missile bait. That doesn't stop me from having fun though, because when I actually kill, it feels great. I look at it as progress. Don't mind the teammates who ridicule you for being bad. Just hop into the next one and practice more. That's all you can do. I have a hard time with cannons in realistic battles, as I've grown used to having a guide to shoot at, but I'm working on it.
