No mention of the Wyvern? It's amazing for base bombing, no prop torque so it's stupid easy to fly

[@Bob_Dickinson]

Tnx for the guide and the video❤❤

[@magicmissile7533]

Yo is the Sagittario 2 op at 8.0?

[@squishface80085]

@@magicmissile7533 Yes. Less so than the Ariete though. I think planes like Yak-30, La-15, and Yak-23 stand a chance against it. And the rocket planes can more reliably run it down.

Would you ever do a sim video for the Canberra with the cannons and slam people in dogfights?

[@squishface80085]

@@mig_tf2323 Probably.

[@MaximCatrinoiu]

im kinda new to WT, why would you talisman a rank 8 vehicle? dont talismans affect RP only?

[@squishface80085]

@@MaximCatrinoiu Basically having a vehicle to easily grind out RP for whatever new slop tier planes come out. Some of the Rank 7 premiums are efficient but are also just not all that fun to play. For instance I just find playing Mirage F-1C to be really boring. I imagine I would feel the same about the J35XS etc.

[@Hadgerz]

​@@squishface80085 re: the 35XS, with the miserable flare count (dont even think about flying out against A10Cs), lack of RWR and poor rear vis, it isn't great when you're put on the defensive against higher-BR planes, but at 11.0 it dogfights well, keeps its energy if you're gentle with the stick, and has a good top speed, and there's plenty of missiles to catch AI bombers or inattentive folks (90% of the playerbase). Used to be frustrating as hell to play on anything bigger than 64x64 before it got its droptanks. Eases up the sweden grind, would only ever consider it while it's on sale. Bought it years ago when it was great. Now the Finnish 21Bis exists, i'd probably just tali that instead.

+5000h player here with every single German plane spaded. - Ta 154 is not good. Looks cool on the outside, but the cockpit is bad. Performance is subpar. It would have been a solid 3.3. - Me 262 A-1a/U1 SKIP????!?!?! Dude what??? It´s the best ASB Me 262 in the game lol. You click on B29 once and it desintegrates into atoms. You can actually even energy fight most of the planes you face and come out on top if you don´t go full elevator all the time but boom and zoom instead which is pretty easy compared to other Me 262 since it gets guns with good balistics. - G.91 R4 is fun until Ariete arrives and it will arrive. So skip for ASB. It prints SL in GRB though. I get 150k SL per game with it in GRB 8.7 lineup. - Hunter F.58 is not good in ASB. Everything you face is supersonic and has radar. It´s extremely boring to play as everyone will run away from you. In ARB is pretty OP though. - Tornado IDS is actually kinda good in ASB if you want to bomb bases and get RP/SL that way. It´s extremely bad in ARB though. - Mig 21 Lazur is meh. You are better off talismaning the Mig 23 MLA. Not this sale related, but keep an eye out for the German Hawk mk.100. It´s an absolute joy to fly, my favorite in ASB and in GRB plus it gets the same insane SL modifier as the G.91 R4. You will be rich in no time. It usually only comes once a year for a brief moment in september. Also if you guys are considering talisman for some planes to play them in ASB, then pick these ones: - He 162 - if you keep your speed, you will be untouchable and the guns are easily aimed. I personally call it the F-16 of WW2 since it´s get oh so nice cockpick visibility. - Su 22M4 - it can bomb bases and on the way back you can actually dogfight enemy fighters. Looks are decieving. It´s a beast in ratefight. I won a ratefight against Mirages even. Very solid plane and enjoyable to fly. - F-104G - it´s a decent plane, you will catch everyone and it´s a good vertical dog fighter. - Mig 23MLA - no brainer. Basically grinded all of top tier with it. Solid radar, solid missiles, solid performance. The only downside is you will rip your wings in level flight if you don´t pay attention to your speed lol. - Mig 29A - easy to fly, handles like a japanese sports car, fast, does exactly what you ask her to do, decent radar for its BR + IRST good missiles (especially the broken 27ER). Only downside is you will run out of fuel quickly. But you get basically 2 guaranteed kills per sortie. - Mig 29G - I would somewhat recommend, but only for brackets where you are the top tier. Virtually the same plane as the A, with great IR missiles for short range dogfights. It clubs 13.0 and below, but it gets clubbed by 13.3 and above.

[@imprisim1]

the j35a just came back with a 50% sale, would you recomend? (its 9.7 btw)

[@bananomet4052]

@@imprisim1 Well I play the XS, which is borderline OP if you IFF via radar for a brief moment and the immediately switch to IRST and stalk in stealth. I actually don´t have the J35A, but I am seriously thinking about it. Everytime I see one in ASB, it wipes lobbies. Same frame, countermeasures don´t matter here. 1000kgf lower thrust, -2 missiles but one more gun. Tough choice.

[@Chounubis]

Still kicking myself for not getting the Ki-96 (did get removed a few weeks ago). Maybe it'll return in the future.

[@themera8921]

The Sea Vixen is such a braindead aircraft in sim but no one using it for some reason.

[@brevanh1737]

First time watching one of your videos, some really interesting takes. Like most recommend the f4s over the f20 (I've been on the fence as, not sure if that radar is superior to the FGr 1 for such an increase in BR but would like a USA jet fighter) I have f5c and Kfir. Loved them in ARB but don't trust flying them in SIM. You don't mind jets that lack IFF?

[@kizvy]

We making it outta the hood with the ariete

[@LovelIlIl]

Thoughts on j35a

[@squishface80085]

@@LovelIlIl It's a good pick-up at 9.7 because it has good flight performance at the tier and that 10.0 range is kind of the last bit where not having countermeasures isn't a death sentence. But the drawback is you still have to be on the lookout for rear aspect missiles ahead of time. So very playable in 8.7 - 9.7 and 9.0 - 10.0. Probably unplayable for most players above that. But also you don't have good missiles and good countermeasures...so expect there to be a learning curve to it.

[@LovelIlIl]

@@squishface80085 cool, sounds like a good pickup since it just went 50% off.

[@sourmenacartel3128]

tl/dw: buy the ariete💪

[@ZigaZagu]

Has there ever been any explanation as to why the FG1 & FRG2 get to be at 11.3 while the F4Junk is at 12.0 in sim? Cause the latter doesn't appear to have any advantages whatsoever over the former. They even fucked their BRs after the second to last changes in sim, I think. They were 12.0 for a while. And they eventually moved them back to 11.3, leaving the Junk to suffer by itself again.

[@brevanh1737]

shhh, shut up before they put the FG1 & 2 back up.
