Stock to Spaded - F-104C - Should You Grind/Spade It? Starfighter Gets Some CAS [War Thunder]

[@Blackflippy]

You forgot one thing. This chipotle pencil with extra spicy it can do his job as a bomber hunter in SIM. It is pretty fun!

[@xXSgtJackXx]

I love the f104c, unlike other midtier jets, it can get REALLY fast into battle and the grind is way better because of it, usualy can get 1 or 2 jets in a headon, then die to an uptier missile and instantly leave and just do it all again

[@DarkShadows2019]

A point of clarification; the RWR on this thing, while nice to have, does not help against mig-21s with R-3Rs. The RWR works with E, G, and I bands whereas the R-3R works in J. It's a recurring problem with US RWRs by and large facing Russian radars unfortunately, it's very frustrating. Luckily this problem goes away at higher brs.

[@marcogranados541]

One thing that bugs me with the stock to spaded series is that sometimes you choose mods in rank 4 without having the sufficient mods in previous ranks, which can impact the review

[@TheGXDivider]

This ^

Ummm, 😂 he unlocks the mods as available and as he sees fit, I'm sure you don't get all tier 1 before you move to tier 2 items and tier 3 weapons when able to research....

[@subspacesub2248]

@@rastaboy_gamesnstuff7778That was NOT the point of the comment, the point was that he did not have the mods that he NEEDED to unlock the next one, (let's take aim 7fs on the f14a before the phoenix as an example.) So you can stop with your 😂

[@Anti-Villain-Wolf]

A-10s were my favorite prey when I used the F-104A, and can still be when I use the C

[@talhugburger1014]

How are you going against a10s in an American jet? I never see a10s on the other team, and rarely on my team.

I love my f-104c. Flying supersonic 30ft above the deck on my way to drop the BLU-1 incendiary then turning around and looking for unaware A-10's is my bread and butter.

Glorious Lockheed lawn dart

[@AkiUwUx3]

The C is more like the Bomb Dart instead of the Lawn Dart

[@Sussy_Penguin14]

WHAT DID HE SAY AT 7:33!?!?!?

[@anthony7697]

If only they gave it the same 9.3 BR in Arcade. 9.7 putting it against 11.0 planes and the missiles they carry was pain.

[@brealistic3542]

Old fighter pilot saying.. "You meet a better class of fighter pilots in the vertical.." Actual IRL FP phrse too. Vertical turns are actually superior to horizontal ones but with newer jets that have good missiles and more then their weight in thrust I don't know if doing that to one is a good idea !😅

[@lordwintertown8284]

G'day Tankenstein, Hm Ohh how I wish they would do just an update for all the Starfighters in which they got either BR changes or historical weaponry additions or both. From what I've read this C model "could" itself with two extra AIM-9B missiles & iirc a M118 3000lb bomb for lolz. I still think this thing should've stayed 9.7 as at 9.3 it's just evil in ARB at the current time if all the stars aline in a match.

[@Lord.Kiltridge]

I have them both and never use either. Seriously, they both still have 10 free repairs available.

[@c44448]

short answer: yes its good and you can snipe half a base with one bomb and rocket pots ontop of your aim 9Bs

[@ashman8891]

9:05 I would've peed myself seeing an Ariete that close

[@lolsadboi1238]

yeah most ariete players have a few braincells to spare, at least as far as premiums go, i can imagine it's probably scary if one goes unspotted, sometimes i feel bad one-circling F3H's and blowing a wing off with 4 rounds holding twice his speed lol

[@badllama8090]

LOL 'average match!' in 6 years i can count on one hand how many 3 + kill matches ive had.... 😂😂

[@Sledgehammer1944]

How do you deploy the landing parachute?

[@frostedbutts4340]

Automatic on the ground once you drop below a certain speed

[@Hootis]

first. yes I am that person.

I hope War thunder adds the AT-802

[@Pirate85_Original]

Yesterday spaded it, it's awesome if you just always remember never to turn with it in combat. Zoom and Boom 💥 Edit: one good Tip I missed so far: turn off ur Radar if you don't need it. Otherwise some enemies will be aware that u're there because their RWR will tell em. 😉

[@RLN1172]

everytime i play f104 1 kill max, get missled by mig 21

Skill issue

@@itsthatguyfromthething lol just that plane, i play every other plane above average. probably b ecause the zoom n boom playstyle is super boring ina one trick pony

Rocket-powered TOOB.

[@jilezka]

Absolutely horrible and disgusting plane to fight against in anything lower than 9.3 br. Literally untouchable by any of sub-/transsonic aircraft

[@KrzysztofPuczyłowski]

Only two likes after two minutes? Fell off ngl. For real now, i enjoy f-104c cause its basically a variant with rockets which give you capability to use makeshift flares, which makes this plane even more broken
