Tbh, after playing this and F-5C for like 150 battles each, I’ll say that harrier is much, much more fun that the F-5! I don’t know why, but it just is. Maybe it’s the acceleration, maybe it’s the ability to use thrust vectoring in 1v1s, maybe it’s the missiles or any other difference between the two (which are pretty much everything maybe except the gun damage). And oh boy is it satisfying for CAS. Having my setup centred around teledyne AGS, I still bring the AV-8 rather than the F-5. Bullpups are not enough on this br, and having only them is not enough to counteract lack of CCIP. While the AV-8 has pretty much everything, and even in rb I occasionally switch to cockpit view after finding a target, just because it’s absolutely capable of destroying it from said view and it’s MUCH more immersive and fun to do so. So yeah, personal pick from the two is definitely AV-8 like 8 times out of 10 Btw all other top premiums for US: A-10, TRAM and F-4S are… just sad. Attackers are self-explanatory (except A-6 which excels at ground rb due to it having 10 laser guided bombs and a very nice pod), and phantom has to constantly play top tier jets which I cannot sustain for more than 2 battles at a time

Unless you get the dumbass top tier players who raw grinded their way there with premiums and still have no clue nor the experience to play top tier properly, the F-4S is VERY outclassed. Ofc you can do well with it but you can do well with every plane. It's a matter of how EASY it is to do well that makes the F-4S a poor choice.

The A-10 has a trick: don't go directly to bomb the bases, other planes will going to beat u in that task anyway. Instead turn towards the edge of the map, while still heading to the "middel line" , and loiter a little, about 13-15km from he combat area, so u out of the direct visual range. When the bases start to respawn start heading the 2 closer one since it can easily destroy 2 with just the bombs, while still can take 6 AGMs for tanks, + tehers a chance u can jump in some of the leftover attackers by surprise, do to most of their fighters at this pont are dead or about to RTB. Yes; there are 2 failure chance to this: 1: all enemies are dead by the time u get back and u end up did nothing. 2: all your team is dead (except u of course), so all u can do to run back to base to quit, or die trying to achieve ... anything to make up your time!

Also the A-10 doesn't really requires a high pilot crew skill, unlike the F-5C, or even the AV-8; witch if u want to bomb bases with u can only do it with a bombs only load; no AAM, no flares. Unlike the British, that has a double rack for bombs and rockets, so can play multi-roll.

@@Boris_The_Turtle mig 21 SMT is far stronger than the F-5C. F-5C needs to bait people into dogfights, MiG21 SMT can simply run trains on people and quickly one circle on them to then sit on their arse without any issue. The King on air RB is Speed. That's why the Tempest and P51H are so good for props, that's why the Hunter and the MiG17 are so good, that's why the A10 and A6 are so good (their missiles are fast, not them) it doesn't matter if your plane is slow or if your missiles are very G capable if the plane or the missile is slow. The AIM9D is faster than the R60 after two seconds, this makes the F8E better than the MiG21 SMT and both share very similar engine power values but the SMT is a very aerodynamic aircraft that will surpass mach 1.03 with ease at sea level.

PLUS its lower br than the F-5C and can still grind rank 8. It is also faster than both the A-10 and SU-25. I implore you to re-think the A-6E, go with 3 missiles and a gun pod, learn how to use the missiles, and its easily the best grinder for US IMO.

Title: Unsubscribing from "General Lee" - A Deeper Look at the Illusion of Consistency with the AV-8A in War Thunder Introduction: As an avid follower of online content, it's important to critically evaluate the information we consume. Recently, I came across a video by "General Lee" discussing the AV-8A premium aircraft in War Thunder, claiming it to be highly consistent for grinding purposes. However, upon closer examination, it appears that the video's portrayal of consistency is not as straightforward as it seems, leading me to reconsider my subscription to the channel. Body: 1. Illusion of Consistency: At first glance, the video paints the AV-8A as an aircraft that offers a consistent path for progression in War Thunder. However, this narrative fails to consider the intricate balance between the aircraft's strengths and weaknesses, leading to a misleading sense of ease. 2. Overlooking Performance Gaps: While the video briefly touches upon the AV-8A's performance, it neglects to provide a comprehensive analysis of its strengths and weaknesses. The aircraft's vertical takeoff and landing capability might seem impressive, but it comes with significant trade-offs in terms of speed, maneuverability, and armament. This oversight leaves viewers with an incomplete understanding of the aircraft's overall performance. 3. Neglecting the Learning Curve: The video's focus on the AV-8A's consistency dismisses the steep learning curve that comes with mastering this unique aircraft. Effective VTOL operation requires a deep understanding of throttle management, balance, and precise control. The time investment needed to become proficient is a factor that undermines the notion of consistency. 4. Misleading Grind Efficiency: The video suggests that the AV-8A can effectively grind the entire tree up until rank 7 and then transition to other aircraft for rank 8. However, this approach sidesteps the fact that transitioning between aircraft can disrupt a player's familiarity and skill with a particular model. This can lead to a less efficient progression, ultimately challenging the supposed consistency. 5. Ignoring Personal Playstyle: Each player approaches War Thunder with a unique playstyle and preferences. The video's claim of consistency fails to acknowledge that what might work for some players might not align with others' preferences. The AV-8A's suitability for grinding might not resonate with players who favor different aircraft types or gameplay strategies. Conclusion: In conclusion, my decision to unsubscribe from "General Lee" is rooted in the video's portrayal of the AV-8A's consistency as oversimplified and misleading. By overlooking performance gaps, neglecting the learning curve, misrepresenting grind efficiency, and ignoring personal playstyles, the video creates an illusion of consistency that falls short upon closer examination. As consumers of content, it's important to critically evaluate the narratives presented to us and seek out comprehensive analyses that provide a balanced perspective. While "General Lee" may have its strengths as a content creator, this particular video raises concerns about the accuracy and depth of information provided, prompting me to reevaluate my subscription.
