"He-162 is a terrible jet" *The Iron Armenian wishes to know your location*

> worst jets > thumbnail is He-162, one of the most fun planes at it's BR

He-162 located, ya better not be mean to it >:3

The image shows the 162, the title says worst jets in the game: Sad Iron Armenian noises

Can we get a moment of silence for all the A-5 sabers that have passed away from missiles. Remember, call today and YOU can save an A-5 saber. o7

Oh that thumbnail is gonna make Iron so mad 😂😂

**be an Italian main** Four out of five planes I have left to grind are on this list... **pain**

Some jets I didn't add to the list that I could have: MiG-21PFM Sea Venom F-84B F-80C Javelin does not qualify for this list because it's the ultimate chad plane.

8:45 Another happy landing

Personally, I prefer the two panthers to the F86, they climb quite wonderfully by comparison, and are great for helping the team

Sees he162 in list of worst jets *Angry Iron Armenian nioses*

Talking about the Me 162 “I don’t even think its mother loves it.” The Iron Armenian loves it. He is the lover of the unloved.

"The F-4E lacks the avionics of the F-4E" 🤔

Disagree on the 162. That thing at 6.3 is amazing. It’s so tiny and once up to speed is actually quite quick. Those 151s right now destroy too so 2-3 kills is quite easy and the 20min fuel lasts for the entire 25min almost perfectly so no need to go back to base. One of my favourite jets

Attempt 2 You need merch, Saying "We'll get back to that later"

Since this video is only jets, consider making a prop version. Would like to see your opinion on the VB-10s, the French Flying Bricks! Also I love the fact that most people struggle in the He 162, keeps its repair cost where it should be. If played right against props that thing can be untouchable. Same goes with the 163. With proper fuel and ammo management you can get an ace on a single sortie in it, even in an uptier!

video: worst jet in the game *mig 21 pfm enters the chat*

I felt that pain, that actually hurt me. 15:52

"If you're a masochist and hate yourself," this game is perfect for you... hahaha

He-162 for me is so op, i play it with boom and zoom tactics and basically never go for bombers since this was designed to be a low altitude fighter from the start

The he-162 look like a squirrel with a backpack

I feel like alot of the problems can be solved by reducing the up/downtier range. In rank 5 and 6

I feel like the planes that suffer the most are the non premium ones.

Pro tip for flying the 163, you can cruise at 3km and maintain 560~ish IAS at 25% throttle But with only FIVE seconds worth of fuel you can maintain that speed and altitude for ALMOST a Minute and a half (85ish seconds) 5 seconds of fuel will let you cruise for 85-90 seconds. So after the initial climb you can just cruise into battle without burning hardly any of your fuel.

Did you just disrepect the he 162 ?? How DARE you 😡😡😡😡

You should do the worst props

Been having way too much fun in the japanese missle sabre, you get to m8nch on the cougar, yak38, and harrier, plus any mig21 that's not playing it safe. It actually brought me back in to war thunder for now. Highly recommend trying it out now.

Fun fact: The last models of the italian F104S, before being upgraded to ASA and ASA-M already got upgraded armaments.. in fact by removing the 20mm it could carry 4 aim9L and 2 aspide which are basically aim7 with better tracking and better g overload

The He 162 was actually my favorite jet to fly around the start of last year, I found it just stomped prop aircraft but I just played it again two days ago and it was absolutely awful, did they stealth nerf it or something

i spent time to grind g91ys when it was 9.7. at the time i purchased it, its at 10.0 and its my only top tier jet

Love the A-5 Sabre actually, best sabre by far. Equip boosters, ace crew, pull 14 gs and not rip at any speed unless you roll hard and pull. Quite good fun

Hey Spit, haveyou thought of giving the F-80C a try with its 100 seconds of WEP? It's quite a capable plane on WEP, but without that it will feel rather slow in an up tier.

The me-163 hits the ground and I’m like “oh it’s ok!” And then it just explodes

I actually enjoyed playing the 163, people try to dogfight you and thats basicly a death sentence for them

Things to add is that the jaguar A should have flares but for some reason don’t. As for the British one, flares are an option if you remove the landing parachute

My personal gripe is the f-11. You either bring a claymore to a knife fight or a claymore to a gun fight. On a full downtier it struggles keep on target against the dogfighting jets and on a uptier it gets shit on by harriers and lightnings.

The A-5 sabre does well against other 8.7s (and st the time 9.0 was the highest against those). Problem is being uptiered. Absolutely useless then

Needs to rename the channel to Mig21 flyer.

I honestly cannot understand what you hate on the He-162, it is one of the most fun and dominant planes I ever flew. Great speed, insane climb for the rank and considering its an early jet, turns like a prop and the guns hit pretty damn hard. I love that thing!

Thank you, for this kind of videos.

shoutout to all the homies who were in the stream

Why does this list have so many 10.0s on it? Hmmmmmmmmmmm?

Perfect way to start my Friday :)

As someone who has, by some miracle, figured out the He 162, I can say that it is both the worst and best jet I've flown. Even with the fact that its model is outdated and it has poor stats overall, it works great as a ground pounder hunter. I can't tell you how many times I've managed to outlive my team, enemy players also seem to underestimate the hell out of this thing (rightfully so). But in patient, capable hands, the plane's a real threat, even with its dozens of problems. I even managed 7 kills in a match with it lol.

I wish you included the J32B.. Turns like a brick, gets out speeded by everything, and only has RB 24s.

**laugh in Ar 234 B that doesn't even have any gun and shitty bomb load**

fully agree with most of this list, I'm a little sad the super mystere b2 didn't make the list nor the honorable mentions. poor thing has no acceleration, no top speed, no energy retention and some of the worst missiles. Video was excellent though I was grinding for some of these and i now know to hold off a bit and to focus on other nations, thanks for such amazing content spit!

16:55 Thats a clutch pilot snipe great shot man

Let me get this straight: A jet is good when its easy to get kills in. A jet is bad when some characteristics have to be accounted for by the pilot in order to do well in it. And as someone who doesnt complain about "not getting guns on target" in a He 162 i say: gid gud!

Welcome to today's episode of: We Need Decompression

Love your channel 😁

Keep up the great work my guy! Greatings from BELGIUMMM :)

Hey spit, could you make a list for the best starting jets in-game? I got to tier 5 with Germany but most of their first jets aren't that great (the Me 262s and He 163 are in this list and the horten is good but really hard to aim)

I just cant wait til they add the German F4

Spit_flyer I must say you are horribly wrong about the F9F-2 / 5, I love that plane and it’s because people under estimate it’s ability. Out of every 5 games I play 2 of them are 3-5 kill games. It’s a support fighter so you climb to 3000-4000 meters if someone try’s to head on with you, you can commit and win due to the planes amazing cannons and their decent fire rate. If your teammate is being tailed you swoop down while the enemy is slow and get a kill. When played correctly this plane is an absolute beast.

Great video! However you should try out the A32A in Ground RB, it manages a lot better there than in Air RB. The 5x m/50s are good, and with radar and RWR it fares decently as a fighter aswell. Only downside is the lack of AA armament.

I do really well in the he162, I’m not sure what he’s talking about

Yeah uhh, the 162 isn't bad when you follow the rule book, you should fly it like a bullet.

Oh look that's me there in the Sea Venom at 12:34 ! Weee! I just unlocked it a day after your video, and an F89D already complained about that you had to make a video about it getting downtiered (which it has been for a long time though?) and that it is now running down F89D's (in a dive, after the F89D being damaged to crap). It's pretty good although I wish it had some external armaments. Next stop: Javelin 😎

I agree that the jaguar is not great at air rb, but its missing a lot of irl features like flares and overwing hard points. It is alright at ground attacking.

me who still fly's planes with props

Spit just classified half of the german jets in rank V, ;-;.

keep the great work up

Imo the Ho229 is missing. I really like flying it but it's bad at fighting other planes. The only good thing is that it can pitch extremely fast when sideways (good for initiating jousts on chasing planes, so not that good actually), but that is well offset by the fact that it can literally not yaw because it doesn't have a rudder. Because the roll-rate is also below average, all a plane has to do is to roll into a different plane than you and pitch, because the Ho229 always has to sequentially roll and then pitch it's almost always slower. The guns suck too, two slow firing Mk103s relatively far from the center axis are not fun, you need your crosshair to be on target for a good second or two to reliably hit anything, and that's when you're close and they don't pull any maneuveurs. Hitting planes in passes is pure RNG (and usually bad one), because planes will pass between two shots. It's speed is ok in dives, but you'll see plenty of jets outrunning you. That this thing was designed first as a jet bomber and then scrambled to serve as a bomber interceptor and was at no point supposed to be a fighter really shows.

And where the hell is the Yak-15/17 series, especially the Yak-15P?! I've yet to see a jet, which is more rubbish than that. Low top speed, low roll rate, plus a single 23mm autocannon with only 60 rounds? Count me out. I've managed to spade the Yak-15 and the Yak-17, with sheer persistence, but that thing would be too much even for me.

17:21 I like how the plane lands softly and then explodes

In defence of the 162, Heinkel's little jet was not supposed to be the MiG-31, but a wooden quickie that would win air battles by sheer weight of numbers.

I'm a main F-104S player (only because I'm a pastaboo). I can get 2 kills with relative ease using the gun and sidewinders (or sparrows if I feel lucky), but after that I'm entirely dependent on my team. I use it as a support plane, engaging unaware foes, but in the late battle I'm useless if I have no allies

As of right now, I am Really enjoying the F4-C Sam's with the F104 Well.... I liked almost every plane that you put on this list

5:22 respect for finishing off zombies, those things can be a nightmare and people never want to deal with them untill too late since it doesnt give you anything

I had lots of fun spading the F2H-2 Banshee recently ..... didnt see much uptiers though.Then again im not a newbie.Had a blast with the full American Naval Jet line though.

I very often get 2-3 kill games and survive in the 162. Its hard but once you learn its quirks you can outclass most if not all the props it sees

You should have more subs. This is the best WT channel.

Seeing as there is a video regarding the WORST jets in WarThunder, Will there be a top tier list of what jets are FUN to play with? I would also want to ask if the German tech tree G.91 suffers from the same issues as the Italian does but at a lower BR? It is probably user error but whenever I fly it and go up against a team which consists 70% out of F-86 aircraft I just feel like there is really nothing I can do. Their both retain their energy better and have a better turn rate. Is there a way or is it one of those "trust in your team" situations?

The 162 is actually one of the most fun jets I have every played. if you get uptiered (which is not very common) you might as well just J out but most of the games I have a pretty good time just speeding around the props I face. The A-5 Sabre on the other hand, has great performance and I want to love it but at the rate it gets uptiered and faces supersonics and missiles it's just not even fun. I cant get a good dogfight in every 5/6 games. The rest is just suffering.

The growth of the channel also means that the player base is growing

I've been having a lot of fun flying the He 162. It's fast and retains energy really well, which suits my playstyle.

i actually had the most fun in years spading the He 162, it's a really potent little fighter if you use it correctly

Kinda surprised you didn't mention the J29a "Tunnan", ngl. That thing suffers really badly imo which is kinda sad for such an iconic plane. Great video regardless!

Funny thing tho he162 is great in ground RB, if you spend the time in air RB to climb and keep energy you can do some work in there too. Me 262 c1 might be one of the best 7.7 jets for its speed, climb rate, and mer. The me163 is one of the hardest aircraft to learn and fly but it’s rewarding. I forced myself to like it since I was blessed with a talisman on it.

imh the f-104 it's fairly good if you use it in the right way, only downside is that you need the allies but i manage to do several ace with the S even before the 7 Sparrow now with those you do something for sure. If you don't drop too much speed over 1300 kph it's easy to outran missile, above 1400 is almost untouchable (obvius if someone keep chasing you can only run)

cl13b -limited fuel 6m (if you take too much your wing will break on dogfights) -bad missiles -no cannon (Usually the enemy cannot be destroyed even if you hit a lot of bullets but this is not a big problem there are 1800 pieces of ammunition) -no radar and flares (if you uptiered, enemies spraying with missiles against you) -too much expensive repair cost: 25.000 sl -bad BR I still don't understand why it went from 9.3 to 9.7.

id add in the other lansen as well, the j32b almost always face 10.7 vehicles. Like what can it do against mig 21s, phantoms and Mirrages? It has aim-9b missiles a low tier missile at the higest tier games. Its just a slaughter.

Man the 162 is one of the best early jets in my opinion i love it and you can perform perfectly in it when you get too know it better just fly it for a while you will love it

The f86a5 can be a lot of fun if played properly. What u need to do is fight ur opponents one-circle, and always maintain some altitudeso that u can regain speed quickly after a dogfight

Speak for your self I’ve had a ton of fun and success in the F9F, I’ve found my luck with jsut hit and run low Alt and high speed, it’s surprisingly maneuverable and can sit behind a lot Of aircraft it comes against and the 4x20mm hit like a bud when you get them on target.

I've had a lot of fun in the he162. Theres a lot more you can do with it then you think and I talk from experience I've played many many games in it when I reached it in the german tree

He162? Love the thing, even though it isn't even fast enough to out speed the props at its br Also if you cruise about in the me163 on 20% throttle, you can have up to 20m flight time or more, as the fuel burn appears to increase exponentially as you raise the throttle. I've gone entire matches without refueling

Ah, the Yak 38M. I ground the entire yak like after skipping it for SMT just so I could slam into the ground every time I did a split S at altitude. I love that thing.

Thankfully the Ho229 didn’t make the list. Unfortunately the 262 did. LoL those are the only jets I play regularly. The Meteor I play but very rarely. Good review.

I’ve been playing the German F-104g to grind the MiG-21MF and it’s absolutely unplayable as anything except a ground attacker. That said, it has 750 rounds in a Gatling gun and 3000lbs of bombload so I usually get top on my team by ground pounding

U run really cool channel Aussie. Although i am only into fighter rb so only bit of ur content is of interest i do like to check ur work out. Best wishes in 2021 lol

Thank goodness I dont have to worry about getting a bad jet since I get 1k RP max from a good ground RB game, and 2k from a decent air RB game.

I love how all three of my highest tech tree jets are on this list, F-104A, F2H-2, and F-86-A5

Saw the stream yesterday, the triple kill steal is still so funny!

Would you recommend the banshee now since it is sitting at 7.7? I want to try to get into jets again using this plane since I had really bad lucky with the F-84

Great vid

I am missing quite a few planes here Spit. Su7B and BKL, Mig21F13 and Tu4 (was good now gets missiled to death or instakilled) just to name a few.

Thats why I saw you playing one of the F9Fs a couple days ago. I got rekt by a missile :D.

DO A BUILD VIDEO OF THE NEW PC, PLEASE. Love the videos spit, love to see somebody who know how to fly their plane but isn't an absolute god of the game show how to do well.
