do you know that vtol aircraft can rearm at heli bases

Bro all that for a loss, feels bad. Epic game on your part

that's fine, not the first time and not the last time... it's War Thunder thanks for support!

It’s the reality of playing USA. 💩teammates

[@OrdinaryViewer808]

Its crazy. As im grinding israel top tier, you get teamed up with usa most of the Times and its basically an instant loss.

[@OrdinaryViewer808]

And almost a nuke as well. But yeah it do be like that sometimes

[@kane28tyberium]

Man, as a devoted USA main at Top Tier, I’ll just say that loss is a basic outcome when you queue for a game with it. I am around top 9000 in average Battle Score rankings for GRB and I have barely 45% wr at USA tanks… I can only count on a good game from myself and Germans/Swedes in the team. Abramses are not that weak in comparison to other tanks, they just need more positioning and skill, whereas Leos/Strvs are just press W to win. :/

It’s also the best anti cas jet too, 4 AMRAAMs and 2 9ms

you use davinci to edit right? bc at 0:15 that transition is best know in davnici ( if im wrong that would be really frickin sad)

How do you lock the Mavs in third person? Is there a specific bind or is it just “lock agm to target” one?

[@zagart_gaming]

it's should be same one as in target pod view

[@benbased7740]

Lock air to ground missle but you need to press it twice

[@delano2852]

It should be whatever keg ind you use for “Guided weapon lock” press it once to activate the third person seeker press it again to lock and press whatever bind you have to fire If you have lock and fire on the same key bind it makes it faster but you have to be sure at what your shooting at

[@mmneaapro596]

Easiest method, is just selecting the agm in secondary weapon mode (you could use fire agm if you use a keybind for each weapon) press fire secondary once to start lock, press a 2nd time to fire

[@FrankieWilde228]

Have you tested the D mav's? Are they better now since new spalling?

[@zagart_gaming]

not yet, but Tiger UHT missiles spalling still bad... will test D-mod later

they're now just as dented if not more then G mavs

what are your keybinds for AGMs?

[@zagart_gaming]

[@Steel_Raiin]

you should use its vtol to land at the heli base bc it is faster to get to and gives you an air spawn

what the antiair doing lol, that flarakrad was sleeping on the job, also i think G mavericks are maybe a bit too strong for being able to be downtiered to 11.0

Isn't the AGM-65D buffed? Now it gets to one-shot with overpressure, maybe you could try that out instead of just 4 AGM-65G

@@zagart_gaming something that i saw from people testing AGM-65D, is that now it can kill an mbt in 1 blow and sometimes 2 if they are in close proximity unless of course you get gaijined and hit some remote area on the tank or just get a hit

[@Jazzyo7]

Well, there's no cheats in the game that make you immortal so, if it was sus that's on Gaijin's part lol

[@lewis666lewis]

its only JOINT best, because britain has had gr7 for ages now same with Italy. and why are you not taking GBU'S on the outer two pylons?

[@zagart_gaming]

yes, that why I have "USA" clarification in the title it's not the option for the USA variant also note that GB variant has targeting pod with shitty zoom (at least it was, when I tested it last time - not sure if something changed), while in USA variant you can identify targets and plan attack immediately after spawn

[@panzerdespenser9030]

Wouldn't the Non-Swedish Gripens be the best CAS jet since they pretty much carry the same weapons as both AV-8Bs but it goes faster?

[@zagart_gaming]

it has no important part - target pod with great zoom upd. oh, non-Swedish... probably, both will be on similar level, but I didn't test yet yet gripens on 13.0, while harrier is at the 12.0 - that's significant difference

[@panzerdespenser9030]

@@zagart_gaming The gripens and the AV-8s use the same pod. Unless you mean the nose camera the AV-8B+'s shouldn't realistically have because they were removed to fit the radar

[@mycoolwolsh]

Why does it say you only have 3 flares?

[@zagart_gaming]

it's new update bug, there is no flares at all... not sure if they fixed it

[@acdfg3]

@@zagart_gaming Weird, it wasn't there on the dev server. How do they do everything so well on the dev and screw up on the live? There's a similar issue in Arcade custom matches where if you have flares and chaff you can't use flares at all. Hope Gaijin fixes it soon

[@Immortal_BP]

usa biggest weakness is players are addicted to CAS so they end up losing because nobody caps

[@polwt]

this plane better than f-16c in cas role ?

[@zagart_gaming]

from my perspective yes - it looks like best CAS in game at the moment it can carry x4 mavericks of G-modification, while F-16 can carry only x2 with F-16 you can take x6 of D-modification, but it doesn't guarantee one-shot and, as result, less stable and fun

​@@stacosaurus no doubt it's still great plane and it's effective; but it's not best CAS anymore - way too easy to be wiped by SPAA with AA-missiles you have to play extremely careful, what takes time and reduces your efficiency it's not even close to new USA Harrier, which can see entire map since spawn, launch all missiles at once and go to reload

SU25SM3 is better Kh38-mt plus 2 kh25's, longer raange fire and forget but the plane itself is a bus

[@tankistrazumist]

Kh-38mT has a much shorter tank lock range than AGM-65D. Kh-38mT also cannot be used at night or in bad weather. Kh-38mL is much better but requires much more time per kill than AGM-65d. Su-25SM3 is at 12.7 and regularly plays against fox-3 missiles. Su-25SM3 was good at 11.7 but not at 12.7, especially after the update. AV-8 can also use a helipad for rearm, which is much faster than using an airfield.

[@zagart_gaming]

I tried and didn't like it.. in addition to previous commenter - also USSR has lack of wheeled/fast light tanks, what increases time to earn SP and kills timings

[@leonmoran9323]

@zagart_gaming try the 2S25M for a light tank, it's not wheeled I know but it's pretty fast on rough terrain bumpy maps. For the previous comment, you are right about the fox 3 issue.. at 12.7 it has been harder to use.

[@Mackylog]

How is this the best CAS jet? The SU25SM3 has access to weapons that far exceeds the capability of any other nations CAS offering. Unless I'm misunderstanding and you mean best car within the US tech tree.

[@zagart_gaming]

I mean entire game... I didn't play Su-25SM3 that much - it was while ago, but I didn't know it has fnf ATGMs, probably will take a look later but based on comments from other viewers it is less effective, than harrier - feel free to check
