Amen. Just started playing War Thunder a week ago. I have liked every Swedish airplane until this thing.

A couple years ago when I still played, I would dominate in this thing and out turn and out dogfight everyone so idk what youre talking about. Easily the best place series that at least I’ve played The jet one was super fun especially

@@-Sober- I absolutely loved taking it out in air AB when I first started playing air battles, but it got up-BRed to oblivion, going from 3.7 to 5.7 real quick. I agree, I like it and it still holds its own in SB, but it just doesn't get the engine and flight performance that its current BR demands after its BR was raised

@@The_Cozy_Couch i think you just dont know how to fly it. I seriously remember dominating everyone, even dogfighting planes

@@-Sober- you can think whatever you want

Literally

The voices say I am completely fine

@@DEFYN where are your biking vlogs

@@DEFYN the voices would never lie!

@@DEFYN well then, false alarm!

It was a full BR lower at its introduction and it still is in SIM

Wtf it has ccrp? Also whats the difference between CCIP and CCRP

@@timbit4tim ccip: arcade bombsight ccrp: designate a target, fly ABSOLUTELY STRAIGHT do NOT TOUCH YOUR MOUSE fly DIRECTLY THROUGH THE TARGET LINE bomb drops for you auto and hits target (edit: ccrp and i do not get along well)

@@timbit4tim CCRP stands for "Constantly computed release point". The interface is a vertical line above the designated target with a circle and a line, you designate a target like with missiles in a helicopter and as you approach, the line approaches the circle until when they meet, you press space. Keep in mind that while you have a target designated, you can't drop a bomb until you're at the release point meaning you can hold down space and have it drop automatically over the target. Tims variety made a good video about it if you want a more in-depth explanation.

@@timbit4tim CCIP tells you where the bomb will land once you release it right now. CCRP on the other hand calculates when it is the best time to release your bomb in order to land on a market point. It will show you where to fly and 2 dots who are closing in on each other. During that time you can hold the bomb release. Once the 2 dots are merged the bomb will release and drop to that market point.

maybe next year x(

Don't

@@DEFYN i mean next year is in 15 days

That's indeed the joke

@@DEFYN heck yeah

this never had gunpods, the jet variant did (A21RB)

@@camilorodriguez5602 The A21 A3 does as well. its the prop attacker version

My 2nd played too right behind the J35D and right in front of the JA37C

All 3 of them are planes that once were very good and now have long been powercrept by the meta.

@@l.bakker7563 I wouldn't say powercrept just nerfed with a higher br.

@@l.bakker7563 Truth be told they weren't ever good. The A-1 was a heavily nerfed F4U-1a at 3.0 but with amazing guns when introduced. It had the worse climb rate for something that wasn't a bomber above 2.0BR with a below average turn rate for 3.0 (unless it was going 300mph+ then it became average) and above average level flight top speed with no ability to dive. Everything that was just average for 3.0 could deal with them without too much trouble. The only good qualities were that it handled nice above 300mph, it was fast enough to at least maintain distance on most opposing fighters in level flight and its guns could knock everything out of the sky if just one round connected.

@@rainsilent The J21 was good at 3.3 but now its bad. The Draken and Viggen have been powercrept to hell.

Nose mounted armament son!...allows you to ignore the wing guns, you still eating 20mm and 2 50 cals while the closer you get will increase the 2 50 to 4.

akin to "bro viggen is better than f14, you one turn everything bro its so amazing brooo"

I shot down 6 enemy planes and 1 friendly plane in 70 seconds for light damage to myself the first time I ever took this plane out.

@@noname117spore lmao, there you go

@@balthasargelt4075 it's bait

it has ccrp

The J21A3 has bombing computer so it’s really powerful in ground rb, easily my favorite prop

That's how I spaced them too. Tbf you could probably the get the Kingfishers to work in grb

J7W1 does not perform for shit, except in Sim battles. While it plays roughly the same, the J21A is better suited for its br.

Couldve spend 1 dollar GE and got it much earlier

🤡

so true I have a 100:1 kd in it

They should uptier it to 6.0 tbh the guns are too strong and ohk even F-14s

It could go to 11.0 I take it there all the time and I always get 4-5 kills

Baiting hard today lol

depends on your climbrate at low speeds, your retention at higher speeds and how fast you and your enemy are. you can test his energy state by flying straight for a sec or two while having him behind you

plus the sight is on the top of the cockpit which is nice

OP Until you meet someone that does not let you aim at them in the first place.

G56 probably best bet that i uploaded recently

@@DEFYN Thank you, gonna re-watch that one then. Got a pretty nice experience with La-9 even stock, but that maybe because i met a lot authistic players in US planes.

Prior to the last patch that added a number of aircraft the only planes in the tree that were at least average were the J20, B18B and Pyro. The J35 and J37s were ok performance wise but left quite a bit to be desired in terms of guns (Gaijin silly business the problem here), missiles and countermeasures.

Can't currently, might do once I get a new pc

Pyro or 109Gs are now an option. Also with the J26 it is at least fast enough to stay alive. I'd rather stay alive rather than being free xp for anyone with 2 working brain cells.

@@rainsilent sure the 109's are an option, if I could be bothered to grind that subtree. Saying a premium is an option, while technically not incorrect, also feels a bit silly tbh. Personally I prefer having guns that can kill people vs having guns that wont even get me the easiest kill in existence because they're so bad, even if I lose out on some performance. personal preference I suppose

how is it good other than guns?

@@ieatplastic2367 well idk how but I can outurn 109's and yak's and in ground rb its pretty decent bomb load (for a fighter)

@@discopanzer9921 is this bait

@@theRealests na bro and just bc a youtuber says its bad doesent mean it's bad thats just his opinion I just listen to what they have to say to the plane thats all bro but yea (I love this plane)

@@discopanzer9921 but like this plane is objectively bad.

It absolutely cannot dive with a rip speed of 406mph or so nor does it turn particularly well. When it was 3.0 its only strengths were that it handled nice above 300mph, it was fast enough to at least maintain distance on most opposing fighters in level flight and its guns could knock everything out of the sky if just one round connected. Now it is one of the slowest at its BR with the worst climb rate and has below average turn rate too.

No, it doesn't turn well, nor is it a good diver with a rip speed of 680 kph. The *only* good thing about the plane is guns, which automatically sends it into the trash can.

And that how you get killed when fighting this thing. There's one guarantee when going up in a vertical fight with a J-21 and that's that you will overshoot and that the J-21 still has more than enough control authority to point his nose on you and shoot you down. It's how I got killed when I first faced this thing and its how I got most of my proper kills when flying it as well.

T18 isn't a bomber irl it is the strike version of b18.

Just gotta know the reload trick and you are golden

Why? It's incredible overpowered
