yeah... its hard to balance well. I do think the spitfires are criminally undertiered and the LF mk9 could go to 6.0 or 6.3 since it's definitely better than the Re 2005. And as much as people say its super strong, the P-51H kinda struggles cuz the 6x .50cals are not great and you can only really win against a spitfire if you boom and zoom/energy fight it, which takes time. Not very meta IMO

At this point would you say the aircraft is worth getting? Im new to swedish jets, and besides that my only jet experience is with the ho229 and sk60b, so i dont know what im doing, and i dont wanna waste my time on something not great. Also btw the vidio was great :)
@CatWerfer7 күн бұрын
@SirBiscut2470 the guns are much better now, but the plane itself isn't excellent or meta. It is workable if you play it very patiently, stay low, stay fast, and conserve your energy, and I do like flying it, but I won't lie to you it takes time to learn and can be frustrating sometimes. It's worth trying out but it's a solid B/C tier plane
@SirBiscut24706 күн бұрын
@@CatWerfer Ok, I can work with that, I was just worried it was gonna be like the me262, where imo it has too high of a skill floor to make it workable for me. Thank you for giving some advice, but if you don't mind me asking one last question, is it any good at turning with people? (I don't expect it to out turn a ho229 or an f80 or anything like that) but is it capable of holding it's on in a dogfight, my play style very much is getting high up, waiting for a target, then diving and re climbing or turn fight then for a short amount of time, then climb. Would this plane be good for that? And if not, is there any other swedish starter Jet you'd recommend? I ask this bc I haven't found anyone give a cohesive answer. Sorry for the long comment and sorry if I'm bothering you, thank you for the help :)

@@SirBiscut2470 mmm It is a bit easier than the me262 since it's very straightforward to fly, just fly low and straight and fast and very passive, and its guns have good ammo capacity and decent velocity, but I still wouldn't say it's easy.

All I want to ask, is how do you know the optimal climb speeds? I've been trying to search for them, figure them out, but I don't really find anything accurate.
@CatWerfer10 күн бұрын
ideal climb rate happens when Excess Power (total energy produced minus energy expended for drag) is maximized. You can calculate it experimentally if you have a tool like WTRTI which logs flight parameters like velocity, altitude, etc. and solve for the energy gain over time (which is what i do, though there are some problems with WTRTI where it tends to give inacurate results for some values). You can also try to calculate it theoretically using engine thrust and drag values from flightmodel datamines like AdamTheEnginerd does in his "Aircraft Rate Of Climb Explained" video, though I don't think anyone has been able to fully calculate these values accurately over all altitudes and engine states and so is not guaranteed to be accurate. keep in mind that because engine performance, prop efficiency, drag, air temperature, air density, etc. all change depending on altitude and because the rate at which it changes is nonlinear, the ideal velocity to climb at changes depending on what altitude you're at and its hard to give a simple table for ideal climb speed at every altitude without going in and testing at every altitude and interpolating the results. Generally, the IAS you should climb at decreases as altitude increases, so if ideal climb is at 300kph IAS at sea level, a good estimate for at 5km altitude would be 270kph. Most props have their ideal climb speed at sea level around 260kph (zeros) - 310kph (americans), but most planes climb pretty decently when you stick them at 290-ish so unless you're really trying to micromanage your climb rate, I wouldn't recommend trying to find the ideal climb rate at all altitudes. If you're micromanaging to that degree then its probably better to focus on improving in dogfighting and if you've already done that, then you should be confident enough in a dogfight that you don't need an energy advantage to win against an average player. TLDR: gather data using WTRTI and find IAS that maximizes Excess Power for a given altitude. IAS for ideal climb rate varies with altitude but giving one value is okay if you're just shooting for "good enough"

america is not a great nation to start with because unless you are playing specific planes like the p38 or xp50 that get an airspawn, they take too long to setup and it takes a lot of experience to know when the best time to stop sideclimbing and reengage is, and yeah the teams are definitely subpar.

F4U-4 at 4.3 isn't terrible as you now have roughly almost the same horsepower as the P-47D-25 even at relatively high altitudes, you're just a bit draggier and not as fast as the P-51D or P-47D. But I think you're very dangerous because of your flaps.

F-4C if it had flares would instantly make the F-4C actually competitive. Not top of it's BR or anything, but definitely a solid choice. Since you're at that age in jet technology. Modern BFM applies and you can actually outrate some aircraft, you'd need to go on WTRTI and figure out which speed gives you your optimum degrees per second. On the other hand, it's 'top'-tier jets. You're going to get missile'd to death unless it's literally a 1v1.

Weirdly enough, I treat the F8F as almost like a mutant P-47 that you can be hyper aggressive with. It loses energy quickly in turns, but when going vertical, this can actually help with keeping you on the tail of an enemy aircraft and avoid over shoots. Not only that, the plane shits out energy making it where you have a similar effect with F4Us, P-47s and P-38s where you just hang around in the air, making stall fighting insane. Run 2.5k out from an enemy (This is if he is trying to chase you to the ends of the earth), loop over, abuse the engine, go vertical, watch as Spitfires are going "What the fuck bro?" as you pull energy out of your ass and just climb out of their nose all the time and energy trap them. Highly underrated plane and I think people look at it but don't really know how to fly it because it's design is so _weird._ Also for the I-225. It has decent turn but that's the thing. It's not that it turns great at low speeds it's that it's high-speed compression is absolutely awful which makes it's low speed turn look amazing by comparison. It's a weird conundrum of an aircraft because you'd think it'd be great at high speeds, but it's not. It's literally just a decent fighter at high altitude and any lower makes it worse. It kinda feels like a Russian take on a U.S. aircraft but they don't quite understand what made U.S. aircraft great. It's definitely not bad by any means, but if it didn't have 4 20mm cannons, I legit believe the aircraft might be 4.7 or even lower-basing off how gaijin can make planes shoot up in BR simply because of armament. By the way, the same MEC setup you do with the P-47 you can do to the F8F. I put my prop pitch around 85-89 and rads at around 25 percent or so and for mixture I turn up to around 90. More fuel will actually cool your engine

I plan on making a video on this later but I think headons are still a skill that's good to practice and improve on. A lot of planes don't have much positives other than firepower so they have to try and kill enemies before a dogfight starts. There are also situations where you need to take headons, especially in a multiple vs 1 situation where you need to take some risks to eliminate enemies as quickly as possible. Even in a 1v1, its still best to shoot as a deterrent, even if you dont intend on hitting, just so the enemy can't have a free shot on you while you merge. Headons definitely aren't the first thing I'd recommend teaching a new pilot but I still think its an important skill that has its use
