Top tier battles will always be a place known for pain and suffering

Early jets are a place of such tomfoolery its hard to comprehand. Half the team rips their wings off, the other half cant hit anything becouse suddenly everything moves 400kph faster than they are used to. (I am in the group which rips the wings. Sea Meteor gang)

That 163 pilot making the plane look too realistic for wt. Dying before you're anywhere near an enemy is ridiculous

2:17 this guy literally cut through that plane with his wing literal sky samurai lmao

That time 3 fighters couldn't take down a sabre who's missing the entire left wing for several minutes...

3:20 You know, I legit saw a harrier gr1 once who every match took his bombs to the nearest base, dropped them pinpoint precision from like 3km up in level flight, and then pointed his nose directly at the nearest enemy airplane, bot or player, and launched all 4 SRAAMs as soon as lock was achieved, regardless of range to target. Just kept nose on target till the harrier died. There actual fucking grinding scripts being run on some of these accounts. Actual bots, unironically.

that a4e groud pounding mightve been doing a task and simply dont give a fuck, especially if he got enough ground targets killed to finish the task. I sometimes do that too

Personally, I've just managed to get a few matches in my new MiG-19, and now I think I've vowed to never take out any jet above 9.0 BR, because anywhere beyond that and you start getting unbearable missile spam from 9.7/10.0 premium and tech tree jets alike that feels cannot be dodged. So unless you get flares, you WILL get a rod railed up the old tailpipe if you're anything short of very experienced in high tier jet combat.

Jet battles pros and cons. Pros: FaST Cons: A lot of stuff

Earlier jet gameplay is great. Had a buccaneer game where an enemy f105 bombed our base and proceeded to just fly up beside me to say hi and good luck before passing me. Scared the hell out of me to look over and just see an f105 out the cockpit window though, lmao

I love the mouse shaking at 1:52, visibly losing your shit at how that bomber crumpled in on itself over a gentle tap

In all fairness to 163 and Ki-200 pilots. The planes do like to randomly bounce and explode for no reason on the runway so, can’t fault him to much there.

the me163 can't stop falling apart midair for five seconds. Neg G + left roll instantly kills the wing at 700kph. I legit die more to ripping than to actual enemies. Edit: the me163 players are not to blame for failing to take off. It's so fucking rng, with full pull and landing flaps it mostly lets you take off but sometimes you snap to the ground anyway for no reason

I’m sad that I missed the days of sabres and migs having elegant dogfights with the odd venom here and there

This kind of stuff is why I’m thankful that I had the opportunity to experience top tier jets when the F-2 Sabre , CL-13, and MiG-17 were the kings at 9.0.

i just took a massive shit and now im watching this

The amount of braincells lost at this BR is beyond our knowledge

Feels like half of jet tier players were suffering in props and thought that jets might work better. LOGIC

Every time I see people in premiums like this, I just imagine it's perhaps my dad trying to play a game and maybe hes having time of his life. And then I'm no longer mad, I'm just happy for them and the fact they could have fun.

Ah, rank V... The gate to insanity and beyond.

I always loved premium players... they help me feel better about myself

when the bomber is the only guy who can aim

Anyone remembers Air RB at the time T-2 just got introduced? The new playerwave buying themselves to top tier really hurt the average s̶k̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶c̶e̶i̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ ability to fly normally

this sums up rank 5 pretty well

Once was limping back to base with no wing in a russian mig 21, i had a mig21MF try to finish my off so i couldn't go rep,instead he rammed me and i got the kill

awww leave the poor bucc alone their life is already hard enough as is XD

3:41 my best guess is pilot snipe as soon he died, same way you get assist on pilot sniping already "dead" planes but still flying.

I haven't been sleeping for a few days. I watched this and I kinda want to go to sleep. Thank you very much for your services Mr. Smigol. So much help

When I was getting the last 2 mods for the f4c I somehow managed to shoot down a friendly with an aim 7 from about 6 miles away while my radar was still perfectly locked on the enemy

sometimes I wonder how people got to jets with the skills that they possess

Unbelievable. I quit this game more then two years ago, and 163 still have a glue on its wheels...

A lot of skilled players have joined air Rb as you can see presented in this video...

Jet players have to go through at least 100 hours of game time in order to play 9.0 Mfs with a wallet up their ass: Missiles go brrr

Feels like watching national geographic. Monkeys in their natural habitat.

reminds me of a funny shit i lived while playing leo 2k. i saved an AGS from a tank and then kept moving while looking at my flank then i bumped on an enemy t-34. i was like "wait wha" and as i turned my turret he killed me. i was laughing for minutes.

The amount of smoothbrains that launch a missile with no regards to where it would end up is insane. Doesn’t take much to look around the target for half a second to see if a friendly is pulling up their 6 cuz that missile will sure as hell lock the closer target. Have had so many times where I’ve been in a dogfight with someone and get a “friendly” missile up my exhaust due to a Neanderthal launching when he sees red

2:44 lol he panic flared

I had issues too with the 163/200, but what i realized is you have to get to about 110ish mph and angle up at the slightest and it lets you take off every time. Wastes about a minute of fuel and the whole runway though :/

Should've titled this "Clowns 3: Jets edition"

3:20 friendlies when you're trying to secure a kill 5:29 friendlies flying in the opposite direction when you're calling for assistance yup, title checks out.

I tell you what’s really special and fun, being at 10.0 with no flares, no chaff, no RWR, no decent AAM, and an insanely large bullseye painted on your arse whilst all other nations that have the copypaste version actually have better versions than the originals. Ah the simultaneous sheer joy and pain of flying the F104A and the next USAF F104.

1:00 I know they is bug with Me163 but didn’t know it’s with G91 😂😂

Low tier jet battles are always so fun. Recently I’ve been having a great time with the FJ-4B (tech tree one) I air rb

A-4E pilots really out there flying like NPCs

imagine having a normal vertical fight in wt

i just got my first jet it's the squadron me 262 and boy was it fun and playing as early jets is unique there is not that many AAM locking at you and you still use conventional weapons like autocannons and machine gun and the new feeling of going more than 500+ km/h is just new to me :D (also the airspawn is really usefull smh)

2:10 long-suffering Buccaneer players try to have fun I'm one of those people trying to bomb tailgaters in my bucc

„Why I stopped playing war thunder in 7 minutes.“

And this is why my allies are enemies and my enemies are friends

It's a classic now, for my part i mostly got good games but sometimes i see new players coming into premium early jets and cannot handle the speed, taking off, shoot correctly a missile and where even my grandma have a better AIM than them, try to dodge the up mid tier or play a lot with low tiers for these reasons ; Biplanes give you the principe, Monoplanes the dodge and AIM & early jets will give you a new face on how to evolve what you learn from them. Little tips -Altitude give you new possibilities for missiles and angles of attack with mg's or cannons but keep an eye on you speed when you start an offensive. (always take 3000+ in mid tier (5000alt the Airfield AA is useless)) -Close quarter is good for the speed hit & run (all depend your type of playing (i prefer the cannons) & the tier is mostly for early jets where afterburner is rare) -learn all the characteristics of your plane, the war is not fair for all. -Go on the internet & search the different doctrines and their encounter. (The stall fight is an important one) -If you get jets, take AB with a 4.0-6.0 in high tier & get a kill to have 20k silver lions free for your economy with the "divine". I am not a pro player but hope that help a little, otherwise thanks captain Obvious.

i just drank milk 30 mins ago at lunch

My only jet other than a 262 being the A4E Early, I rip my wings way too much. Lots of fooling around happens too.

Smigol, do you like F-86F-2? I discovered it recently for myself and fell in love with that plane! It's lasers are fucking insane!

for me, currently stuck at the J29A, jet battles are pure pain

But didnt you heard? the higher BR you play the more skill (lol) you have

A special type of planes forever cursed by repair costs

hey smigol my friend just say you playing and i gotta say that video is gonna be good(he was the one who was putting polish in the chat of an american server)

Playing the insanely expensive J29f you notice Isreal players are on another world when playing Air.

The grind to get to jets just kills so many braincells

I've been convinced that top tier jets eat half of my brains, premiums add 25% more

2:20 this is how planes are made

0:16 holy shiet.. new sounds are awesome

Not sure, but that F-105D missile teamkill can also be Gaijin's weird lock-on mechanic... Have had that happen one time to me too... Missile spools up, continues to stay locked on enemy, then right as I click fire, it switches lock to friendly (despite enemy not moving in any way that would've reduced their heat signature)

My best time of my day

"Excellent!"

1:18 the enthusiasm 1:19 pain

The top tier maches are pure Pain thunder

I think the A-4s just gave up on life and decided to get ai kills before inevitable death.

- Awesome! - Gramercy.

Never flying the me163 again, it just doesn’t want to take off

Nice vid love it

I can tell you're laughing at 1:45 because of the camera movement lol

fun the same day you put this out is the same day i used the whole day toching ppls tips in my SU11 just fly next to them and touch the tip

smigol if i saw you in a battle, i would just turn on smoke and be friendly

Huang_XiaoGuo trying their best to hit you with that insane internet cafe ping

I see mongol on thumbnail. I click

Top tier rn is all about surviving missiles, still tho you might get missiled because you didnt check your surroundings for 5 seconds.

3:39 Yo wtf. I just saw that Gator dude in game while I was flying the MiG-15 and he was in an La-200

Hey smigol did u know bunny rabbits do quite well in the cold?

Ah, so it isn't just me who's had funky graphics problems this patch!

2016 smigol is back!!!

Nice afterburner

0:50 I’m in the g91. I’m in your vid and I have that clip from my point of view on my channel

one time i had this mig21's wing but after that it got stolen by a premium draken and just 2 seconds after i got teamkilled by another premium draken's missile that was trying to steal my kill the game is just one big circus at this point

Well Done!

A special place for special people

You should try to see how many people can land on a bv238

I love your music taste, do you have spotify or a playlist on yt?

this video needs a trigger warning for pilots

Wait they still haven't fixed me 163 "landing gear" ??? (you stuck on the ground and if you try to take off eventually you craft before liftoff) This bug have been there for years...

Man, I wish I could play the 2016 8.7-9.0

seems about right

1:59 This plane turned into a meteor

I am surprised there was nothing about the Harrier GR.1 spam and the magic SRAAM.

Oh boy can’t wait until I get the R2Y2s so I can crash on takeoff with a higher rep cost

To be fair the me 163 is kinda fucked up right now. It physically prevents you from taking off you gotta try to wiggle it and other tricks and hope that it let's you

3:10 just can't be bothered

I remember the time where the MiG-15bis and the F-86 where the top dogs in this game, idk if its just me, but I also remember there being waaaay less "incapable" players, lets put it that way.

I’m almost at jets, I am so so close. I bet I’ll get to jets before you make that p-51 d-30 video, huh.

Lmao the Let's see if I can do this first try
