Currently there is a “overpulling bug”, as pulling elevator using either the instructor or a keyboard to pull full elevator, after pulling the standard G-load for a sustained period you will immediatly snap into a massive amount of G’s being pulled and rip your wings off completely. As far as I’m aware this bug is present on many vehicles including the Kfir C.2-C.7 and the F-8E to a smaller extent.

[@ericpeterson541]

AMX too

[@just_david]

F-104 has this bug too

[@bendawg8-wi4dr]

@@just_david yep, been this way for a while, except for the 104, it’s only a certain speed range at relatively high speeds

[@just_david]

@@bendawg8-wi4dr Ye, you know it's really fun to pull 15Gs when going around mach 1 sometimes XD. Good thing 104 doesn't rip its wings

[@craigwilson9946]

It's fine when you remove the flight control boosters after getting all the other mods. After doing that it is pretty hard to remove your own wings, but it is still possible if you throw it a bit too hard going defensive

[@bendawg8-wi4dr]

That only affects high speed rolling, pulling full elevator is the problem with this vehicle.

[@Iden_in_the_Rain]

Got to love TEC’s recent habit saying anything good that’s in the US tech tree is unbalanced

[@nostalgicmindset5258]

Ong just hating tryna ruin anything good in the US tree just learn to fight against it

[@funkyboi2672]

Only thing wrong with it for me is the weird rudder wobble at high speed

[@NickThePilotUSA]

I hate that and that it doesn’t like going fast

[@taco13ification]

I like the F8E better because that jet was made to vibe-check new players who bought premium planes. I like to use radar missiles because it's funny watching new players use all their flares to dodge them.

[@obsidianfury828]

I like the f8e more because it doesn't have that problem

[@reverencerx873]

This is my all time favorite plane, so I spent a lot of time learning it. 700-830 kph is the speed range. Big thing is to not hit 10Gs of overload. The air brake isn’t great so you really have to watch it. The F8E has stronger wings but it really just ups the G limit a little. Just don’t top 10. Still a wing break issue, just less.

[@reverencerx873]

Also, most people don’t know this but the f8u2 has an internal rocket capability in the nose. It used to shotgun them but gaijin changed that. Make sure to remove them because they’re dead weight.

[@ReemFireGaming]

Well I think it has been partly fixed. As of today I can pull 11G's at mach 1.0 at 4000m and my wings won't rip off.

[@aliviper476]

The F-8E has been my primary jet for the past year. I went so far as to purchase a talisman for it, resulting in a commendable 72% win rate in my most frequently used vehicle. Unfortunately, Gaijin Entertainment decided to run premium sales throughout the year, flooding my matches with F4s and MiG-23s armed with seemingly unstoppable missiles. Even with the F8E, the wing tips can break after just two 14-15g maneuvers, leading me to believe that the issue lies in the minimal speed bleed during high-speed turns for both the F8U2 and F8E. This aspect needs to be addressed, as it's not a matter of airframe strength but rather the exceptional turning rate at high speeds.

[@lt.nukeyB0i]

I've such a love-hate relationship with this plane. It has so much potential, held back by its paper wings. The missiles are really lovely, but it just suffers a catastrophic failure. Though still amazing when you get that sweet speed spot and the continuous 9g pull. I hate it, I love it

[@kunaukedi4850]

all you have to do is be careful when turning over 650 km/h i personally dont mind killing sabres with aim 9 deez nutz

[@imclear6205]

This is one of those planes that needs decompression to go up in BR. Playing it up to 10.3 it just gets slammed by 11.0s and 11.3s non stop because in the 1.0 BR jump from 10.3 to 11.3 you go from Aim-9Es on fighters to 9Ls and Aim-7E2s

[@bootlegpete7984]

Same goes for the F-5E. That thing was unplayable at 11.0 but at 10.7 its the best jet for the BR range.

[@GK_Squid]

Everyone hates on this thing but it's my best jet 🤔

[@kunaukedi4850]

who hates on it lol just search f8u warthunder on youtube the whole war thunder community thinks its the best 10.0 at the moment

[@mab2187]

This instructor model needs refinement.

[@Captain_Coleslaw]

My biggest issue with ALL the Corsairs is that they cannot aim the gun, the rudder authority is DOGSHIT. And it makes it SUPER hard to aim the gun... I still do well in it, but fuck me its annoying to use

[@saplingseedsaccrew3143]

2:14 The French F-8E is 10.0

[@onederman0]

As it should be without flairs or chaff

[@JustAnotherLemonTree]

I returned to playing the aircraft after like a month or so (after recent update) and I was so annoyed to find that the aim-9ds had been caged

[@MostNormalF16Enjoyer]

I don't know how and why Aim 9ds ignore flares sometimes like the aim 9ms

[@elcangry855]

And real life this plane was made for hig turns dosent brake the wing like this gajin

[@user-vt4je9ym6h]

I have f5c but i talismanned this one for when i get tired of repetitive f5c turnfighter cannon gameplay and just want to braindeadly lob missiles at everyone, AIM9Ds are very nice, 4 of them will get you atleast 2 guaranteed kills, 4 guaranteed kills if youre usig them smart or on flareless enemies as they're really hard to dodge because of the slow burning motor and tight turn. It can pull max force turn, but in 2 ish seconds of continuous turn it pulls really hard and disassembles itself

[@bobt2094]

Using the sea harrier, countermeasures do absolutely nothing because of radar lock missile jets but yet the enemies countermeasures work perfectly fine.... I can't help but feel balance is none existing for brits....

[@bobt2094]

Not forgetting to mention the vampire jet ... its too high in br as it faces jets with missiles and has no countermeasures. Taking that into air RB is just a no go.

[@norske_ow3440]

So this is why if seen so many in the last few days

[@shadowcarthage]

Well good news for you it seems to have been stealth nerfed. I was getting 4-5 kills per game and now am lucky to get 1-2

[@onederman0]

I have just been grinding through that section of the tech tree and I can safely say the rudder and the instructor's resistance to rolling hurts the aiming of the vehicle. If the wing rip problem and the aim issues were fixed I would safely say this could be a 10.7 BR plane no problem.

[@RassGames]

Meanwhile Harrier GR.1 is crying in the constant uptiers against Aim-9L's and F-5's xd

[@allenliu8820]

they just need to strengthen the wings and it would be moved up

[@randypipper92]

Thing rips wings more than it flies but I love it😂 but F8E is much better

[@Garugontheblue]

Its right where it needs to be.

[@lukefrombk]

TEC likes the sound of his own voice too much

[@HighRiskV]

Making it higher BR will pair it with F-5E and J-35XS, and both outclass it, specially the 35XS

[@hades0780]

once again tec is proving he has no idea what he's talking about

[@bendawg8-wi4dr]

Once again, a random user decides to shit on TEC and claiming he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, yet they don’t even prove they know what they’re talking about themselves, except this fucker doesn’t even say anything other than TECs stupid and provides no receipts to how he could be wrong lmao.

[@dilloncourville3210]

Idk what u talking about maybe they fixed it but im on Xbox n i can go mac 1 n turn as hard as i can it never ever comes apart??

[@adrinside6025]

unbalanced=it works unless the rest of the american planes

[@The_Official_DDKHellcat]

french f8 (dying)

[@lambchumps2783]

F8E America with aim9c and aim9d is unbalanced

[@sabinvanvuuren5748]

Complete noob here and I have had some dogfights with it today stock and didn't rip at all. I'm enjoying having a bit of a chance against mig21s but out of maybe 40 matches, my US team didn't get completely wiped maybe 4 times because it's mostly a10s on the deck. A team of these would erase anything else I reckon.

[@thech33f39]

was about to comment but yeah slight br increase but doesnt break much now.

[@lil_sweden2323]

Balanced, people just dont pay attention or are wallet warriors

[@SlicerJen]

I have never had a good experience in either f8

[@alex190alex]

You should try playing with the AJ37 for an Unbalanced video because it is kinda disgusting for 10.3 when you get good enough with the guns

[@poweroffdreams]

It's a beast In SIM, the F8E with aim9C with aim9D and the dogfight capabilities it wins almost everything, ican turn hard below 1000 kph no problem, 950 its safer, and i pull very hard. In sim F8E is 10.0

[@pizzacat7169]

Use f8e it's better than every way and doesn't rip its wings and the aim9c is epic

[@mrcaboosevg6089]

Aim9c is awful

[@pizzacat7169]

To be fair tec is a pretty damned good pilot but their is some stuff that may need adjustment.

[@nathprasenjit0342]

The first time when i thought about ayit and its 2 shafrir 2 and 2 aim 9d i thought about why this thing is at 9.3 with flares

TEC with winter event done and battle pass 3weeks out maybe tell us what would you like as rewards to be i am guesing ussr ground vehicle to be top reward and usa plane for free reward

[@FlyMysticalDJ]

Did it get nerfed or something after defyn said it was great

[@elcangry855]

This plane isn't un balance it he wing are like papers they brake all the time the aim 9d are the best for it.people don't know where they are getting hit frome.i hope gajin fix the deam wing it been way to long this wing brake so bad gajin fixe is one my favorite jet all game..and good dogfighting.

[@charleston-re3dw]

The F8U-2 and E were both fine at 10.3, I could see them at 10.7 or even 11.0 for the F8E but not higher

[@dbzfanexwarbrady]

11.0 hell no 12.0's would absolutly shit on the F-8E

[@charleston-re3dw]

@@dbzfanexwarbrady except maybe for the acceleration, the F8E has everything it needs for 11.0, just like the F4E

F-4's are garbage imo and arnt helped with now facing F-16s and MiG-29s@@charleston-re3dw

[@Iden_in_the_Rain]

@@charleston-re3dw the F8’s carry 1/3 to 1/2 the missiles of the F4, though. Not even mentioning how the best missiles it gets are rear-aspect 18G’s whereas most other nations have 30G and/or all-aspect missiles by 11.0. Moving it to 11.0 would be making it unusable as it would be worst than almost every jet at its BR.

[@charleston-re3dw]

@@Iden_in_the_Rain the F4E has 20G rear aspect missiles with half the range of the 9D. The F4's are an exception regarding quantity of missiles, they can carry up to 8 but most aircraft at 11.0 carry 4-6. The F8E can carry 4, including IR or SARH (which are all aspect). It has 60 countermeasures, a decent RWR, great manoeuvrability, decent speed and acceleration. There's no reason for it to struggle at 11.0

[@ZigaZagu]

SO EARLY

[@Corporal_Idiot]

I ain't that good at the game, so it clearly balances out for me.
