The Hunter FGA.9 Was Once Worth Your Money

[@russell33313]

The fact that the hunter is now playing against A10s and SU 25s show that we need more BRs

[@herkeseacikkullaniciadi14]

i bought the hunter fga9 after A10, i have 6 K:D with around 350 kills. The Joke is, it is still nearly the best BRd hunter out there after the new swiss one.

[@rileymccabe2732]

A10 and su25s can all just fucking go up a br

[@alexpivniouk8421]

[@rileymccabe2732]

@@alexpivniouk8421 they have better energy retention than most of the 9.0 planes that they constantly face And for the br they have absolutely ridiculous missiles

[@garyr2650]

Agreed I the fga9 was my main fighter for years until all the all aspect missiles started showing up wich really sucks still the plane I do the best in tho lol

[@Cavernsparten]

This was the plane that I would take out with 3 min ace games. Back when Korea & Spain were the only maps that we played and I could get 5+ kill games really quickly.

Man it feels so good not even 15 seconds out, love ya defyn!!

[@JaydenJelly]

Back when covid was going on my friend convinced me to buy premium time and some vehicles to make the many hours I'd spend playing more worth it. Even though I haven't touched it in like a year, the FGA9 is still my most played vehicle by about 30 matches (followed by the F5C, and then another 100 matches down the 21 SMT). AIM9Es were perfect for killing braindead AV8 players, the 600 rounds allowed for great practice with aiming ADENs, and the reinforced airframe meant you could roll and turn without instantly ripping your wings off like in the Hunter F6. I really miss the pre-all aspect missile days...

[@idefeczx]

My experience is similar but with the F1, started playing again early this year and hadnt played at all since theyd began adding missiles and supersonics so it had been a while. First match out and I got insta missiled by a G91 😂

[@Owlberightback]

Hearing “back when Covid” made me tense up 😂

[@unacceptablelemons654]

How is it weird? It has the wings and the guns and the airframe. It even has a flight model and engine, this looks lkke a normal plane.

[@snottytoe6957]

Well actually the ailerons are what make it weird. Normally if you wanted to roll left on a conventional plane, the left aileron would go up, and the right aileron would go down. In this plane, it's the opposite, but the ailerons are also installed upside down to counteract this.

The Mig-19 is always a joy to see gameplay of so I would like it if you made another video on it

[@theverminator8048]

I love this aircraft, and i still think it is good even today

[@imainhunter]

8:02 i swear, the first time i use the hunter f6, my biggest problem was the fact that it can't drop fuel like the f58. And that i can't dogfight they way i can in the f58. But after spading and playing it for a while, my problem comes back to it not having flares. It's just sad cuz i love the hunters. But the solo carry one is the german one.

[@zentarion.]

i got the FGA9 back when it was added to the game but didn't use it too much back then since i played very casually so i didn't really get around to using it properly before the last half year and honestly even tho it isn't as good as it used to be i still feel like its an amazing aircraft, once you get the hang of it and learn your apponants at 9.3 you can pretty much dunk on anything in it regardless of it being a f104, f5c or a A10 etc. definitely my favorite plane so far :)

[@williamgunter4268]

I would enjoy a German Mig 19 video. Even with it being coverd so much an updated status of the plane video is always appreciated since the game changes so much.

[@derekpieboy7952]

Dealing with A-10s and SU-25s is the cherry on top of the shitcake that is currently 9.3. Thank you for covering this plane, I picked it up during the summer sale and quickly realized the painful situation the hunter is currently in. This plane is a perfect example of BR compression and shows that this issue desperately needs to be fixed.

[@danielzaba9913]

This thing used to be the king of air RB for the allies/Nato. Back then 9.7 was max tier and anything above would be hard locked into an uptier, meaning you always got to play 8.7-9.7. With the only real threat being something like a mig19. 😔

[@AxTROUSRxMISSLE]

I really like the FGA9 but I really feel it needs to be 9.0 or something. Its fast, reletively maneuverable but just lacks anything that deems it being at the BR its at. Fighting MiG 21s and other much, much better planes is just not fun.

[@goldfishPACIFIER]

please make another mig19S video, just got it kinda getting the handle of it but still I am unsure of what I should really use it as, sometimes dogfighting is godly, sometimes headons are godly and rarely the high altitude energy fighting tactic works for me. and yeah missiles.
