Getting 5 kills per match in ARB is insane. Getting 5 kills per match in GRB, that's far more realistic, difficult but doable. Congrats on nearing 50K subs Defyn.

[@goldfishPACIFIER]

i dont know if im good or just lucky, during like the mid days of using the squadron 262 fully spaded, i got 5,4,3 kill games in a row like literally. i slept happy and the next day, all shit games - lost all my sl and now i can no longer get 3+ kills.

[@The_War_Pug]

​@@goldfishPACIFIER If you can no longer achieve 3-5 kill games, it was probably luck. I had the same thing with the Bradley when I first unlocked it. Got 4 (hardly a test sample) five kill matches and didn't die even though I was very aggressive with my strategy (got hilly maps like Mozdok, Fields of Normandy and Kursk). The next day, I played like 8 games and got an average of like 1 kill per match with my Bradley. It was soul crushing to do so well and then do so poorly.

[@StrayGuard]

@@Minigun_-nj1tf Is not just your skill, with the F-5 you need to keep your sped above 1000 km/h. The problem with the F-5C is that it was hited really hard by the real shatter, its a plane that rely mainly on its guns to get kills and it only works with the air targets belt that it was heavily nerfed due to real shatter, on top of this several better plaanes have been released around the F-5C Br but still you have an amazing airframe so you can make it work with practice. Also you have to keep in mind that you are playing a plane that has fallen out of the meta so there some experience that will have to accquire to still maike it perform well.

@@kingghidorah8106 Yeah its a really broken flight model and damage model with flares that it didnt historically have.

Funny how that goes sometimes

[@kingghidorah8106]

@@luuk341 this aged poorly 💀 the guns on f-5s are quite hit or miss, have insane drag rendering them useless past 800m unless it's a deflection (mostly because it's what I'm best at considering my poor aim) and the plane itself is like a one way trip. It is very solid but lacks engine power. Also the F-5C did have flares, it is the A variant the one that never did. The one we have in game is called Skoshi tiger. And you be thankful as an f-5c pilot you have flares because you're just a dogfighter, and you know, dogfighters usually get third partied quite often. I still prefer how it does at 11.3 than how the f-5e does at 10.7. The F-5E 's belly pod makes R60M'S work like aim9l's if you launch them on top of the aircraft.

[@cmdrfrosty3985]

Finally a cc that is telling it how it is withheld vehichle. Its an absolute ace maker and punches far above its weight consistently. It has a decent amount of flares at 60, it keeps its energy at high speed remarkably well, the guns are fantastic, the sustained turn rate is unmatched.

Came to your channel a week ago or so. Subbed specifically because of this video and the realistic talk throughout the game. Great videos, great character, and honest reviews.

The weight lifter's analogy was definitely accurate man.

[@JaydenJelly]

After the FGA 9 got boned by the addition of a million premium MiG 21s, I'm glad I went to this as my new top tier jet grinder. Flares, energy retention, lots of ammo, good guns, busted damage/flight model, good flaps, and a premium bonus on top. I've gotten more ace matches in this thing than every other plane combined, and half of them were in full uptiers. It just feels like I can rely solely on my instincts and not really have to think too much when I fly it, which made the summer event grind a lot more bearable, not to mention I'm no longer broke on SL. I like the F5E as well, but the matchmaker on this which doesn't force you into top tier radar/all-aspect clusterfucks is worth that engine power and those missiles.

[@armadillo3454]

And yes, I know stats like K/D can be easily boosted by playing at lower BRs, but your place on the leaderboard can't, since it takes into account your level and the BR of the vehicle you are using as opposed to the level and the BR of the vehicle that the enemy is using. So killing lower level players and/or lower BR vehicles does not get you far. I've faced DEFYN and others like him in-game and let me tell you, it's no fun, hell, it's not even a fight when there are like 29700 people between you and him in skill. Just recently as last Sunday I had the "pleasure" of facing a dude in GroundRB that was like number 5000, and he singlehandedly wiped me and my entire team, in a fucking SPAA.

I think people underestimate how well they ILs preform at speeds lower than their stall.

[@John.McMillan]

@@rainsilent Good points mate. I've noticed that maybe 1 in every 30 pilots I fight in the Su-6 or IL-10, despite being 4.7-5.3 respectively, actually have the concept of just pulling up and circling above me. About everybody tries to turn fight me, and the ones that dont are almost always in heavy fighters or attackers which will preform closely enough to me that I can use flaps and pull hard to use my low stall speed to just smack them from upwards of 1km away just due to how big they are and their slow reaction time. I'd say most all of my deaths are to being ganged up on by fighters or pilot/engine snipes in a head on. When any fighter should be able to drastically out preform me fairly easily if they didnt just let me pull them for energy.
