[@Kuzmorgo]

I personally got frustrated with the AIM-9Ds tiny circle, so I just bring 4 AIM-9C at this point. I have to admit I was surprised at first how responsive it is, and how much it actually pulls. Great missiles, and as you mention many people don't even bring chaff/don't look out for radar missiles.

just started playing this plane to grind the a7d and i dont think there couldve been a better time for this video to come out

[@pyro1047]

Was really looking forward to the F-8's being added, and once they were, they quickly became my go to "top-ish tier" jets for tasks and just grinding top tier in general. Eventually stopped playing them as the grind must go on and I had to focus elsewhere, but the F8U-2 is still my 7th best US RB aircraft even though I haven't played it in prob 2+ years. As for the A-7's... they were good back when they got an airspawn. But now you're gonna have to either take forever grinding it in GRB, or become extremely depressed and frustrated trying to use it in Air RB. After spading the A-7D with its airspawn, I've had the A-7E for years and still only have 3 modifications unlocked on it.

[@TAC-Peppa]

@@pyro1047 youre right, the grind will be painful and long but i just cant play the a10 late anymore its just too slow and big for me to enjoy it and im hoping that i can have a tad bit more fun with the any of the a7 variants. and now that i think about it the a7k mightve been just perfect for me if only i had picked it rather than the qn 506 which i sold shortly after for 50 gjn. here goes hoping that the a7 series will be atleast net positive and also that gaijin adds something to continue that line so it will be all worth it in the end

From my experience, it’s overall more maneuverable in dogfight scenarios and you can drop combat flaps at a pretty high speed, granted it doesn’t get the alpha of mig 21’s but energy retention is a thing. I normally run a mic of aim 9c and d’s because the radar does work surprisingly well at low altitude plus most people don’t think to bring chaff at that br.

[@francismichel1917]

I used the Ge app for an entire day, got 32 GE and after that it got a lot more difficult and not worth my time, only way I could get the GEs was playing the emerald games, the surveys didn't work/get approved even after I spent 10 minutes answering questions, and nowadays the Time/reward ration is pitifull, would be a lot more worth finding a job and getting 7$ hour than farming that app. But if the one supplying the referral code (Defyn in this case) needs GE, its a good deal in the short and long run for him. This im my opinion. Thank you for the video. edit 1- 1 or 2 years ago that app was realy good. Right now you get pitifull rewards for HOURS of your time.

[@nisqhog2881]

I rarely play WT anymore, but I keep coming back 1-2 days a week just to play this aircraft. It's such a fun, rewarding plane to fly, where if you die, you know it was your fault, but if you get a good game you know you worked for it. Personally I always load two of the 9C missiles: the radar on the F-8E is completely busted, and it can not only keep a lock on a plane against the ground, it can also acquire it with ease, so the 9C just becomes this true all-aspect missile that can only be countered by chaff, which a decent portion of people don't bring. It's great for punishing AFK climbing Mig-21s and Su-25s, as the accuracy of the track against a clear sky is almost 100%. Much less against the ground clutter, but still, it's a great missile for these situations.

The F-8E is now by far my favourite plane in the game, and possibly the best at its BR.

[@huycan9518]

The only problem with the jet is it wings, which is very sensitive at high G turn, which could led the wing broke down, have to use combat flap turn turn, stable (?), the rest are delicious when carrying 2 9Cs and 2 9Ds

[@simethigsomethingidfk]

I love the F-8E but I always run 2 9D and 2 9C missiles. Having the ability to ignore flares in the right situations is really nice, especially since basically no one runes chaff. Very useful in both dogfights, picking off targets that you wouldnt be able to lock otherwise (Like if you get a side aspect angle when coming into a team fight), or just killing dumb base rushers with head ons.

[@AlmightyDude420]

My all-time favorite aircraft in this game. The F-8E is so incredibly fun to fly, it made war thunder feel like a new game again. And this thing claps everything it faces. It's by far the best 10.3 in the game and handles uptiers like it's nothing-it's the only plane I have multiple 7-kill games in. Aim-9Cs help a lot, but this plane is mostly carried by its insane flight performance. It's really good at everything-rate fighting, roll rate, reversing, vertical maneuvers, acceleration, except top speed. It has a really interesting playstyle as it's best played at MEDIUM altitude (1-3km) from my experience, but it's so versatile, survivable and easy to fly that you can fly it really anywhere and it will do great. It will clap a MiG-21bis just as easily as an F-5C. It is near untouchable and you really have to be in something like an MLD or J-7E to be able to take it 1v1. F-5E can win sometimes, but it's a very difficult fight against a competent Crusader pilot. The Crusader is known to be one of the best planes in the US tech tree, but I still think it's underrated. I personally think it is THE best for its BR. I might be a little biased though because I also think it's such a beautiful plane.

Well, you get barely any pops of CMs, ur gun is hella off set if u choose to bring it and doing so limits u to two Aim9Js aaaannndd it may have an 11.0 airframe but it has the worse engine found in the AJ and AJS. So for 10.3 it’s kinda mid
