The Most Important Planes in War Thunder

[@freezedvegetal]

THANKYOU FOR FINALLY EXPLAINING WHY I LOVE THIS THING. This is genuinely one of my favourite top tier aircraft. Also great video. Very well thought out commentary and a great mix with background music. I think I might have found my new favourite War Thunder channel❤

For me it's the 3.7 thunderbolt, when it hits the ground running it goes HARD and all it's weaknesses are made up for by 3400 rounds of 50 Cals, can very reliably hit people from afar or in cqc by spraying lead non stop

[@Jpmrvz]

Dude I love this channel, please keep it up and make as many videos and gameplays. Don’t give up so I can see you get to 500k or even a million.

[@perennialE]

I'm having a bit of mental block trying to come up with my next video but I dont plan on stopping any time soon :)

[@rastaboy_gamesnstuff7778]

Just make non commentary gameplay, people will watch, believe me, I watch vids alot to study the styles of play for aircraft, then implement what works in to mine

[@McCritical_]

For me, the Viggen is my favorite aircraft. I love the delta canard and and its quirks. I can't wait for the Gripen in the next major update too!

[@dude2542]

I might be wrong, but Gripen is a bit OP for this tier, at least the modern variations outperform the f16 in almost everything.

[@talie_t]

@@dude2542 no way modern variations will come out soon, but i can definitely see a Gripen A Early in the game ( i am very hopeful at least)

[@aidenholmes5897]

Looking back the 104 s for Italy is some of the most fun I’ve had just from how you can get around during and game, love the vid you earned a sub

[@walkerwhite1167]

Hello there my fellow F-104S enjoyer!!

[@cheekibreeki1983]

I love italian 104-g

[@GangsterFemboy]

Oh, man. You opened my eyes. I thought war thunder was just the same thing over and over again. I gotta say my plane is definietly the lightning f6.

[@oiermontero2310]

My guilty pleasure ia actually playing any of the mi24 helis. Theres something about it that just feels good Been in love with them since the og cod mw campaing

[@Goofy2932]

The guilty pleasure vehicle for me is the mirage f1. It’s very stinky but very fun

[@Marfius_Au_Marfongus]

same, i have a ton of fun in the F1 even though it sucks balls

[@Ashes-001]

Swift F7 for me or anything with gun pods.

[@Ashes-001]

also the sunderland( dog fighter / gun ship)

[@trixx8983]

My guilty pleasure is the f4c with no gunpod and aim9es and aim7ds only for some reason I am more effective without it

[@Kami_Ikari]

Also for me the Tornado (the strike variant of Germany... mainly because I only have it for the German tree) - I fly it mainly just as a scavenger and pick out people that are distracted otherwise I just fly away...

[@vincentreim8962]

1:02 Mig 23bn in A-10 environment

[@walkerwhite1167]

For me my Guilty pleasure plane or jet is my F-104S ASA… sure it’s gonna be out classed by every single jet at 11.3 to 12.0 ( in my opinion ) but my love for Italian F-104’s… keeps me playing it. And every now and then I’ll have a SUPER good game and get 4+ kills with it. Accompanied by the Stormo 4 Squadron Skin… it’s the icing on the cake.

[@DaBoss5]

Guilty pleasure- sea harrier 4x aim 9l great acceleration, guns are cracked after realshatter change and flight performance isnt as bad as ppl say

[@RkHy]

i actually like using the tornado more than the other top tier jets just because the radar is the easiest to use (cant wait for it to get AMRAAM and ASRAAMs) also using 0% wing sweep + brakes + reverse thrust gives hilarious reversals

[@wilkosgaming9224]

using the reverse thrust is just wild, bamboozles so many people lol

[@zentarion.]

i usually like to throw an S-D-E roll in to the mix aswell to slow it down even faster, also plus style points ;-P

[@generalbandege1184]

CL-13 mk5. Idk why but I decided to grind the entire western fighter line from that 9.0 plane and got so damn good at the most overtiered Sabre in the game.

[@Havok_Arms]

My guilty pleasure vehicle is a ground vehicle. The m56 scorpion is so much fun, even in uptiers, I don't care that I die to one burst of machine gun fire, if I can skirt it around to hit enemies side-on is devastating, and watching a Tiger II turret pop from something that weighs in three single digit percentiles in comparison is just magical lol

[@normallymute0131]

Guilty pleasure prop is the P-51H, just a beautiful flight performance. Favourite jet would have to be either the F4E or the F-5E. Both are really fun in different ways but is overall very fun for me

[@mattdovale]

my guilty pleasure has always been the AV-8A, no manouverability but good missiles and acceleration, 240 flares/chaff pod. it just looks cool and has v/stol. i can't wait for them to finally add the AV-8B Harrier II to the game in the future

[@zacamakapaka3989]

For me it’s the Swift f.7. Getting those missile kills is so satisfying especially at 2-3km where enemies with low tier flares thing they can be saved by just flaring

[@thevorexo]

My J8A has a talisman so I use it when I need to get rp, but it makes a relieving feeling, getting a kill with its 4 8mm guns at close range with that heavy biplane just makes me feel like that satisfied meme face

[@jessebentley2180]

I stay with WT because the red letters activate my brain

[@cwu4591]

QN506, i know it's not a plane but it certainly is my guilty pleasure vehicle. It's pretty slow for its br but it has some decent firepower.

[@RT42069]

For me it's the F3H2. Any time i get a kill with the AIM-7C, it makes me feel, well, ok i never got a kill with that missile.

[@sentinelxcix2526]

One of my favourite things about the tornado is the ACM modes, the +10 to +55 lets you get a lock “early” and with 9Ls being slaved to the radar you can sometimes manage some funky off-boresight launches

[@thekspguy4421]

P-47N-15. It’s a bus, but it’s still fun. And when you occasionally get those super high altitude fights, it’s a beast.

[@Pufferfish141]

J35D is my fav plane ever. My Dad served in the Swedish military just as the Viggen came in, in time to see both (Draken and Viggen) aircraft!

[@sirducky9629]

blud finally posted

[@patta8388]

Tornado IDS Marineflieger. Aka the Event Tornado. I always liked the Tornado, because I grew up seeing them fly overhead, and the Marineflieger sits at a better BR. It's also a really good bomb truck to grind Silver Lions.

[@GeneralLee2000]

Me personally I think the Python 3 is the best plane ingame

[@perennialE]

Sir that's a torpedo

[@CircuitCatWT]

[@Keeneye47_Wolfkeen]

I know one of my friends would say it's the Milan. It is a 9.7 jet with no flares, that can get uptiered to 10.7. so he started using an air-to-ground Nord missile as a sort of flare. Which I ended up calling his "emotional support NORD" As for me. It's the F-104 series of jets. They can't dogfight for nothing and by the time you make it to the S series, most Jets can keep up with you. But I just enjoy being this supersonic dart that can blindside people out of nowhere and bomb bases before they even know what hit them. (Since I did teach myself how to fling bombs)

[@XplodePlayz4]

My guilty pleasure is the F-4C. I love rolling people with the AIM-7D. Doesn't work every time but when it does it works well.

[@jackgamer6307]

I really like the Mig-21SMT. A hidden gem of a plane. Basically a Mig-21Bis, with R-60s instead of R-60Ms, but at a lower BR. The real funny happens with the R-3Rs. IF you get a downtier, you'll wreck havoc with them, as pretty much noone expects SARH missiles at its BR

[@edgy_dabs9167]

tornado F3 and GR1 and the F-104S.ASA and the Su17M4

[@ostrich4685]

the Me-262 is my guilty pleasure, despite the fact that everything else at that br out performs it, I still somehow do good

[@mattanderson5911]

Guilty. Also love the tornado. I bought the German marine IDS after the event and now I bomb two bases a game at mach 1,

[@zentarion.]

as a brit main i do like the tornado but i think my biggest guilty pleasure is the Hunter FGA9, a non afterburning plane that can out thrust most afterburning ones, it also have ridiculous energy retention and comes with 600 rounds of glorious x4 30mil Aden cannons strong enough to rip anything apart :)

[@jordanspence7789]

I love the Tornado too! Its nice to have the challenge and now its got a better radar its wayyy easier to use, In real life I adored the tornado, It was always a nice plane growing up in the UK. Seeing it come into game i rushed to pick it up, played for days on end to get it, then I flew it, expected it to not be much better then the Tornado GR.1, and honestly, I was kinda surprised, It was painful, and my radar was super hard to keep lock with, but when I got games with 2+ kills I knew it was my plane, I just needed to get the proper feel for it, and now I kinda wish I had more of it. I wish there was an upgraded model, with improved radar, engines etc. but there isnt, so Ill fly this until its no longer viable !

[@samueldamuel1689]

although the B-239 is a really good plane i like bringing it to higher prop tiers usually in ground because surprisingly it does really well even in higher tiers and still has huge damage potential and its fun because people underestimate you and turnfight you

[@jeef4403]

This. This is why I love toptier Britain, it's all niche vehicles which can only really get better with new variants. This and the FG.1 are my guilty pleasure

[@samtomkins4679]

For me its the british blenheim mk4. I know its not a jet but i remember loving the thing even though its arguably a bad bomber and even though its also arguably a horrible plane but something about that 1 forward facing wing mounted mg was just so fun to dogfight with

[@jpscarborough4765]

The tree variant Japanese F-86-40, great skin good ammo and of course 2x aim-9bs which for some reason work wonders with the f86 and i don't know why

[@azuresstuff]

i think mine might honestly be a peshka. Dont know why but i just keep coming back to it. I even got the 205 variant when it came on sale

[@Sag05501]

I don't really have a specific plane, but i love any fast attack aircraft, especially with guided ordinance. Great fun destroying ground battles and convoys on ec maps.

[@bobybot9320]

mine is the mirage 2000s, though they're really only limited by weapon counts and gun velocity. Also any plane with the AA20 NORD, this weapon is the funniest one to use, easily, its 10+m proxy fuze is insanely good.

[@HEATSEEKR]

F-14 for non-top gun related reasons. My personal favorite all time plane. However, let it be know that I am in the process of getting top tier of every nation and the Tornado F3 is close to being next in line. Still have to get the new J-8F and Mirage 2K 5-F as well as buying some researched jets and modding them before hand. I like to play everything so I know how to fight it.

[@woolheart1]

Atleast for me it's the F-100D, not all too great at anything but it just feels good to fly and 4 missles that you can lead (even if they are just 10g) at 9.3 is awesome

[@Residentbrit281]

My guilty pleasure vehicle is the harrier gr7 for sure and it’s my favorite vehicle of all time. Certainly not the best at top tier but hella fun to play when it works

[@bottoms_up2175]

Pe: what vehicle is your guilty pleasure? Me: points hand at Swedish tech tree...

[@AceOfThunderYT]

For me is the f4c, its extremely fun shooting down stuff with undodgeable missles and flares with 10g missles.

[@darthplaugus2689]

Both British Tornado Variants are my go-to, because it’s so easy to slip under the radar, slam people with a sky flash that they never saw coming, or take it really wide to a base and turn in to fire off my two 9Ls and scarper home.

[@JULIAN11.]

It can always be worse - You could be the Tornado IDS, less Aim-9Ls (2), about the same bomb load as an F-105, anti ship missiles that are completely useless because when the guidance actually works, it can't do much against most of the ships in the game and constant uptiers to 12.0

[@perennialE]

Back when the missiles could lock aircraft you could use them to snipe people who are on their runway

[@the23rdradiotower41]

Mines the M6A1 it kinda sucks as a heavy tank but the fact that weak little 37 is semi auto tank gun makes me happy.

[@impracticalleo]

Tornado f3 is my guilty pleasure also, it falls more than it flies but flying an underdog and killing f14 and mig29 in BVR is super satisfying.

[@Zambezi_]

For me its the T2. its speed makes it great at outrunning enemies and sometimes missiles. turns radius is deceptively tighter than expected if done right. climbs insanely well too. with the changes to realshatter ive noticed the gun being very lethal. Very unique looking jet too. has a lot of cons with having no countermeasures and mediocre missiles being the biggest ones but with good flying and patience you can dodge missiles and get yours on targets.

[@evangalinsky2499]

I prefer the F-1 over the T-2. Yeah it's a higher BR but you almost always get downtiers. When you do get up tiers they fucking suck but, they also do in the T-2 so.

[@Zambezi_]

@@evangalinsky2499 i kept getting upteirs in my F-1. i should try flying it out today since 4 missiles is definitely better than 2

[@evangalinsky2499]

@@Zambezi_ and the missiles themselves are also better. Just wish it had CM's. Either way it's not actually that bad rn, you just downtiers into premium-ville. All the other high tier prems stay in the up tiers, for the most part.

[@seanhaydenlara7810]

I’m not super high up in the Tech tree but for me it’s the Firebrand Sure it’s terrible but if I can get those cannons just right it just shreds

[@deyx18]

The sheer challenge of getting kills in this kind of planes makes it so fun. I found great pleasure in Rat playing, being the Mig 21 BIS SAU, and F104S ASA (sometimes with ASPIDE, makes funny kills) ones that i enjoyed a lot. I also enjoyed the Mig 23 MLA a lot, alltho, that one is a really capable fighter.

[@walkerwhite1167]

[@carottefondeurenfer]

The Mirage 2000-5S, for the speed, the beauty and the missiles. Also the cl13 mk6, because I’m simply a god with this monster.

[@midnightdanger5509]

f89d is the plane for me, no guns, but proxy rockets that either do no damage at all or one shots planes... plus its massive

[@Phazmatix]

For me there is not a guilty pleasure plane but there is a tank, the stuhrer emil. It is undoutabley bad (slow, no armor, massive, slow reload) but there is just something about a 128mm APHE with more explosives than your opponents HE and more penetration than all of your opponents armor combined.

[@CT-7543]

Guilty pleasure is the Viggen. Idk why people don’t love it. From its beautiful look to the just fun idk tbh. Something about the viggen just seems so much fun. GRIND FOR THE JA-37D. ITS WORTH IT AND ITS SO MUCH FUN!!!

Guilty pleasure? MiG-27M. It has only 6 R-60M at best. No radar or IR seeker. You always fight with tomcats, 16s and 29s. But I'm really satisfied when you manage to shoot down several top tiers or sometimes annihilate someone with your autocannon

[@perennialE]

I don't have the F-13 MiG but I do have the Chinese J-7II at the same BR which is a copy of the MiG-21 with an extra gun and a better engine which is a blast.

[@flynntaggart8549]

d9 is actually really competitive. has amazing low alt performance and MER, you have to know how to fly it though.

[@roflman2122]

[@onetrain7336]

My guilty pleasures? The I-15 and BT-5 They're very nice at reserve tier - in fact I'd say the BT is probably the best reserve-tier tank in the game. But at 8.0? Somehow, I can still kill tanks with them

[@lukeunterkofler106]

i know i shouldn't play it but the f4c is just cool to me. And when the enemy team isn't made of su-25k's, and with a little luck, i can still get some great games in it.

[@jakobc.2558]

My guilty pleasure is the F3H demon. I climb, I pop someone who doesn't even have an RWR with the sparrows, I downwards spiral dogfight and outturn everything with the amazing flaps and I kill enemys with the amazing colt 20mms with lots of ammo. My non guilty pleasure is the F4D because it's broken and I have no idea what all the WT KZbinrs were smokeing when they said it's bad, when I first got to play it I thought it would go up to 9.7.

F-4 EJ Kai. It's a Hard wing phantom with a good radar and missle load out.. at the same BR as the F-14A. I have the entire Japanese, Russian and US air tree done, but the EJ Kai is just. Funky. It's like a F-14B but worse in just about every aspect.

I will admit that the only reason why I hate the F-16 and the MiG-29 with a passion is because I almost exclusively play Britain, and only have British top-tiers.

[@rileygayming6933]

I've got a couple guilty pleasure vehicles: the Tornado ADV, MiG-21bis, Kurnass 2k, and the Mirage F1 The ADV is just so slow and chunky but getting kills is incredibly satisfying in its own way. The MiG-21bis and Kurnass aren't exactly outclassed at 11.0 and 11.3, but they still kind of fall behind in some regards, mainly being IR AAMs only but yeah, getting kills with those missiles and guns is great fun. Python 3's are exactly what the Kurnass needed. However my true pleasure is the Mirage F1. I adore this plane. It *sucks* at 11.3 (please gaijin downtier it or move top tier up more) but getting kills with it is so satisfying. The Magic 2s are damn near the only good thing on it, and even they have their own issues. The guns? Low velocity. The radar missiles? Pulse seeker so they get chaffed incredibly easily its incredibly annoying. The Magics? Only get 2 of them. The flight performance? It has a good engine at higher altitudes but thats about it. It turns like a brick house and can even get out-turned by a Phantom with a heavy AA loadout. But oh man, when you're getting kills, its sooooo nice. Plus I love using it in sim, the cockpit and loadouts make it even better. (Gaijin please give the F1CT it's extended guided weapons loadouts so theres an actual reason to use it over the base F1C/200.)
