Update for the 2024 summer sale: The MiG-23ML has had its flight performance and radar considerably nerfed. It's still usable, but definitely not as good as it was at the time of this video's publishing.

to summarize 80% of the premiums: MID

I pity the poor souls who actually bought the F-4J(UNK)

The spelling mistakes in my videos are clearly put there by design as easter eggs for my most devout viewers to find and are NOT because of my incompetance 😎Too late to reupload so I can't fix them unfortunately. Also before I get asked, xbox and playstation sales are impossible to predict because they're up to sony and microsoft so there's no way of knowing what goes on sale and when. PC sales happen in summer (around June/July), in November for WT's birthday, and for New Year in late December.

Being a fan of Jaek is like being a fan of premium jet before $70 existed

Me and the boys on our way to buy the objective worst rank 7 premium then complain about how OP all the other nations are on reddit 😎

The Tornado is a great example of an airframe placed into the game too late to be of any real relevance. Additionally, it's missing everything that made it noteworthy.

The F5C is nice but man I love the F4S. I EASILY made millions in it and QUICKLY grinded out both f16s, f14b and vark from the F4S

what a shame the F5C has no radadr

Never seen your stuff before but I am so glad someone finally put out a new (And competent) premium guide, thank you on behalf of the community

Hey man, great video. Picked up the F4S last night, and it’s been fun! In thrust, we trust!

F-5c is 10.3 spitfire brutally effective at dispatching enemies if you have good aim and pay attention to launches.

I saw you on every jet noob stream yet I never knew you spat out great content! This is a hidden gem of a channel!

I love how the Azur has been power crept to hell and then they added insult to injury and gave us a Tornado the does nothing other than going fast.

Me and my friend bought the premium f4 yesterday, it’s freaking awesome, we even made our own squad name, the derpy phantoms (yes we put the derpiest eyes possible on it)

Found this Channel 2 weeks ago when I got back into war thunder, and now here is where I spend my free time.. thanks for the content 🍻

This is some dang good content, I really like the clear, color-coded text in this and the other comparison/missile videos. It's probably a good thing that most of these are middling or 'good, with caveats' since they're gonna get spammed out like with every sale. I'm currently nursing a desire to get the Kfir Canard because I like its looks, style, and BR, but its firepower limitations (and the fact that I have zero Israeli vehicles in air or ground) prevent me from pulling the trigger. If I wasn't already so far along in USSR I would definitely want to pick up the 23ML... my experience with the R-24's in the MLA was nothing short of breathtaking.

i really enjoyed this video, nice quality, well explained info... ty for it💪🏻

Love you, happy Xmas and i'll splash some money right now

I picked up the F-5C and MIG-23ML and im pretty happy with my future grinding

By starting the video out with telling me what not to get *chefs kiss* earned my like and sub

Picked up the Kfir and its fantastic for grinding and fun

Project Wingman song choice for BGM is a W

Honestly, run the f1c with gun pods and the magics. Is awesome! You’re far better with guns than I am and the wide stream makes it easy mode for even me

Being early to Jaek videos is like being a fan of Jaek early.

I know im late to the party but MAN did i appreciate the F4S. It trained me on a lot of the nuances of top tier jets and because of its shortcomings (particularly radar) made the other top tiers feel like a breeze.

i picked up the 23ML on sale and as a ground player ive actually been doing pretty good in it

The Kfir Canard is probs my favorite out of these Such a neat plane

Even tho I already had the MiG 21S and a few tier 6 planes researched I still wanted the MiG 23ML just to make the grind a little more bearable. Those R24R's are really good. MTI works well with them even when they are low above the ground and flying away from you, unlike a PD radar.

Babe wake up jaek uploaded!

I recently bought the F-4S during the New Years Sale. Although I originally had experience with aircraft such as the F8U-2, F-100, and the F-104, the experience between these aircraft and the F-4S is genuinely bonkers, but ultimately a great lesson. I originally thought the F-4S would be similar to how these played but I was naive in this thinking, and I suffered because of this as I never used radar guided missiles. After, learning how RGM’s work, as well as Pulse Doppler Radar, I quickly found out the F-4S is an solid B tier aircraft, especially when it gets uptiered (which happens quite often). However, when it’s at battle rating, or gets downtiered to 10.3, that’s when the Phantom goes from a B tier aircraft to an A+ tier or S tier aircraft depending on the battle rating. If someone were to ask me if they should buy the F-4S or the F-5C, I’d say both are good choices but it’s ultimately up to what their end goal is. If you want to have fun and are new to jets, buy the F-5C. If you want to make the grind easier and learn in the process, buy the F-4S. Lastly, if someone does decide to get the F-4S and take it out during ARB matches, for the love of god don’t bomb bases. I know base bombing is good for the grind but you are just sitting duck especially at top tier.

You deserve more subs and by the next sale time you will have you CC link

F-4EJ ADTW isnt that bad. Bring your drop tank and take lowest fuel and 200+ FFARs you can get 2 Zones which give you 60k+ SL and around 20K RP its boring but its a good grinder with good speed

To correct what is said at 5:08 the Lazur-M is on sale.

GoD quality video ❤

F5c bombing in sim and then turning into an amazing fighter once u drop ur bombs is such a good way to grind the tech tree, 2 blu fire bombs and a 2klb bomb is the lightest bomb load for one base kill and u can still Mach 1.1 with full fuel and the engine doesn’t overheat so u can full throttle to the base and still have fuel to fight and rtb

The Top Gear scenes always go hard😂

i bought Mirage F1C-200 when it was last on sale and it became my second favorite jet that i enjoy playing alot. can recomend even at full price if you have steady income. and if you wonder, my favorite Jet is Italian Ariete, just perfect fighter all around

Lmao that ending. Perfect summary of that load of crap. Surprises me with how many people I've seen flying it.

I, an empath, bought the A-6 for 2 reasons 1: F-4S was not in game yet (peaceful times then) 2: it’s a Grumman plane (grumman is the goat) I don’t even have top tier ground, I just love grumman (which is why I used to play the f14 and a6 a lot)

due to the new tornados placement at 11.0 i would say its pretty good for boming.

@jaek_ I know the tornados not the best or everyone’s cup of tea but I’ve been doing pretty good in the new premium tornado. Usually if you fly low and fast with the pack towards the bases on the left and zoom past them, swing wide around the back of the front lines and come in and hit the two bases on the right nobody ever gets and then usually I can get a kill too

Ima buy the mirage f1c 200 next to grind out france i have tried the m2k s4 and i will say im in love with the mirages delta wing flight module

i have 3 rank 7 premiums and a continuing addiction to this game and spending money

The A6 is amazing for casual Sim matches for grinding It is slow and a flying shitbrick but its my most used plane in Sim other than the F-4E

i bring 2 rocket pods on my j35xs (doesnt interfere with 6 missiles), makes you basically immune to side/front aspect missiles if u ever get uptiered or want to approach su25/9L slingers freely, and can also be used to ground pound (they fire 1 at a time too) while saving ammo to force enemies to come to you because this things acceleration is doodoowater without afterburner

A6e OP, often Get triple and quadfeeds with the missiles depending on How i play

UP ⬆️ LOAF 🍞

Any chance of being able to make a video like this for the tier 6s?

The F4-S is great but since I've gotten it all I got was uptiers to 12.3 versing Su-27's and F-15's which is matches up poorly with. On another note, great video!

Took me more than a year to convince my self to actually waste the1.2M+ SL for the expert training for the F-5C, and only because it went up in rank. Otherwise I still would not use it much, and would just talisman the F-8E instead. I still think its a bad plane, do to its only good at turning, and can be used as a last resort CAS, but nothing more. The reason its so popular is do to its a low-tech plane and less experienced players only need to set the "fire AAM" + "countermeasure" keys, and can easily transmission from a prop plane to it. Why I even have it? It was in a bundle with the AH-64A + XM-1 once (basically it was a free gift)!

I'm a fan of the Canard for one specific reason: It can carry 6x 1000 bombs, bomb a base and be back with your team at like 1400km/hour

so after mig23 nerf I m so confused which one to buy. I m trying to decide between france premium and sweden one and maybe kfir

I’m really liking the f104s taf atm

If we are ignoring fighter capability the phantoms become good contenders for grinding through base bombing The reality is many of these have been powercrept by this point and could probably do with some alternatives or buffs given the price While Britain as you said is lacking in future additions im having a decent time with the F4Juk and F4EJ

I'd like to note, I play the Su39 in air rb and consistently get 2 - 3 kills. It just requires a change in play style; low and off to the side, sneak and R73s.

The helmet mounted system on the F4-S is a gimmick, yes, you can lock missiles, but you have no HUD like I'm sure everyone will expect, just a little circle and dot to see when you are locked and seeking missiles.

Mostly, I think an SL talisman would be a better addition at this point RP talismans can be on any plane, but the ability to breakeven or profit is limited to you having amazing games, which is only possible in a few planes.. it would also increase variety rather than F4S vs MIG23ML every game

Is thunderbolt a10 pack good? I know its bit slow but is it good for space bombing or destroying ground targets.

With the f-104s taf u can use 6 fire bombs and 1 2000lb bomb to make a 2 base loadout. Use 2 firebombs and 1 2000lb for 1 bomb base bcos 2x 1000lb and 1x 2000lb wont do it.

well if take care and not rushing to the base with the tornado, u can do really good with it .. killing 2 bases and 1-2 air kills are possible ind the 25k rp and 130k silverline afterwards is very nice. Just stick to your team at the beginning and try to get out the missles (just u have to do smthg while wait the base get respawned or free from enemys)

My Opinion on the MiG21 Lazur and IDS WTD: The lazur is good in the hands of an good pilot, so not quite made for new players. The WTD is a good grinder, especially when you just started the german tree. but dont expect many kills and try to run when getting attacked and alone.

I've bought the mig21s a week ago and rn I research plane 5/5 to unlock Tier VII. I think abt buying the Mig-23ML cuz the Mig21s missiles just suck. What would u do?

MIDNIGHT LIGHT???? project wingman soundtrack 👀

Didn't they remove the ability to carry the 530 below the fuselage some time ago on the F1C-200?

The A-6E is absoloutely viable in air rb, given that it faces jets without countermeasures whilst carrying 4 Aim-9Ls.

Hopefully someone sees this in time, I have the 5c and 23ml already, and I’m prob gonna get either the canard or the 4s, but I have prob like 2-3 hours of test flight in with the canard and the 4s and both of them are play styles I will have to adjust to if I buy and use them. I am curious to see what WT veterans recommend I force my self to adjust to lmao. Leave your opinions below so I can try and make a decision

F5c is honestly so good

has R60 gotten flare resistance buff? it used to be easy to flare but now i dump 100 flares to it and it just doesnt care

Long live the algorithm!

Should i get F5c?

i fucking love your videos

Are packs on sale for xbox?

Now that I realize what gun pod the F-4S has, it's really weird that it's not the SUU-23 with the Vulcan cannon. Why does the Japanese F-4 get that, and not the American F-4S?

would you rate them tthe same in Sim and would you make the same recomendations? Given the way the sim BRs varey 11.3 can be at the top and the rewards can bexcellent when using premiums and boosters. I am using the F4S and the rewards are great

In good hands the su25 is a decent dogfighter, with s24 and gunpoda offensively, good plane

What is the difference between Su-27 and J-11? J-11 seems to be easier to grind

Instructions unclear, I bought every premium

Now F4s got an indirect buff, No more 12.3 jets

Next do Chinese missiles

Kfir C.1 is probably the best 70$ pixel plane, you get the best 10.7 in the game, and you can grind better america super fast, i got an 8 kill game in my second match with it, grinded out all of israel in less than a month and made a fuck load of money, i think it was worth the 70$ but that money technically wasn't mine so, it is what it is.

F5C rips at mach 1.75?

For sure, the worst jet is in the sweden tech tree at 9.7 the J35A. it got no flares 10g AAM with around 1.6 km range a horroble gun, no balistics computer, no bombs, bad rokets, the only pro is the turn rate at that br but with such hard cannons with no tracers it is horrible.

Ok so I got the F-4s a while back and idk about anyone else but its IR missiles are shit, I've only gotten like 2 kills with them and you don't even need to flare to dodges them, just fly in a straight line, am I just using them wrong because I also use the missiles on the A10 and they work fine... any advice??

Should i get the ML if i just started to the jets w/ su11 or not

guys i have a big question so i have rank 4 unlocked in the ussr tech tree rn if i buy the mig23 will it let me skip the ranks and allow me to start grinding rank 7 jets ? i wasnt able to find an answer for this

Xbox doesn’t have any sales on premium packs 😢

Hey, how about the J35A! Oh wait…..

So what is everyone getting?

What is the difference between CCIP and CCRP?

wait the Lazur M is on sale tho

Italy mains, do not get the F-104S. I spaded the tech tree version, and you do NOT want this thing to be your grinding machine up to top-tier. Now it's even worse, this flying dart can fight F-16As regularly, and you don't even have the all-aspect missiles of the F-104S ASA. Here's to the future of Italian premiums though. Could easily get a Brazilian AMX at 10.3, maybe an F-104S ASA/M at 11.3, and even an F-16B Block 10 OCU or Block 15 ADF someday.

I love how gijjn add some copy paste or some what mid planes like damn dude for 70$ is insane like I would love for gijjn to like add some upgraded planes that never gone to production because in real life the cost was high but in WT that is not issue

I know the F-4EJ ADTW isn't the best and not on sale but its pretty good for grinding the Japanese tech tree, I was able to get the first half of the Japanese air tree done in less than a week with the ADTW

I really cant decide between the f5c or f4s

Correction: The Mig 21 is on sale this time

J-7D is on sale RN and somehow i have gathered reasonable amount of GJN coin though... some recommend some dont. i doubt whether i should buy or not. edit: i have mig21s from ussr tho and almost reached toptier in the usa

AYE GAIJIN GIVE MY MAN JAEK A LINK
