Fun Fact; More people were killed fueling and landing this plane than it had kills in combat and were shot down combined due to the highly volatile fuel. Technically it uses 2 fuels that immoderately combust when they come in contact with one another.
The fuel component was also so volatile that it dissolved any organic material it came into contact with, be it wood or human flesh. The tanks of both components were directly behind the pilot's seat, so a leak directly into the cabin would cause severe, even fatal chemical burns to the pilot. Both tanks springing a leak into the cabin would turn it into a flame broiler. I believe these planes were called "flying coffins" by Allied troops because anyone who flew them had a slim chance of coming back alive.
For dogfighting it really depends on skill. I went up against hydras and rogues and won every time. I usuallly use altitude to my advantage because people dont ecpect me to be so high above them. I use a bunch of tactics to defeat a huge number of aircrafts in dogfights.
He knows, only testing against the lazer in dogfighting is unfair. Test it with more planes that are more common like the hydra, rogue. The starling IS a very good dogfigher, just nothing can beat the lazer with the lazerbeam of death.
Kevin Anaya thats bs, the starling pilot was definitely a low level, i have yet to be defeated by hydras and only one lazer pilot took me down, i have never seen a hydra get behind me.
To land, you MUST brake and turn off your engine abovr the ground and land both wheels. Then push down to the ground and the plane will stop SO much faster. Its all about tactics.
Well this is the type of plane that can be for like skilled players who know how to fly planes and master it, but for me as someone who has used the Hydra a lot and is used to it I don't see myself buying this plane.
“Don’t use that plane in dogfighting” I almost always win in dogfights with that plane. Just because you don’t know how to fly it, that doesn’t mean it’s a bad plane.
Its literally THE best dogfighting plane, dude. The slow speed allows you to easily get behind your enemy, and the fact that you couldnt hit your friend is honestly your own lack of flying skill.
The Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet was a German rocket-powered fighter aircraft. Designed by Alexander Lippisch, it is the only rocket-powered fighter aircraft ever to have been operational and the first piloted aircraft of any type to exceed 1000 km/h (621 mph) in level flight. Its design was revolutionary and its performance unprecedented. The method of propulsion was a combination of hydrazine hydrate and methanol, C-Stoff and T-Stoff respectively. The only known test flight made by the allies was an unofficial powered test flight made by Captain Erin Brown. He, and a compliant German ground crew, fueled the aircraft, all while making appropriate preparations for the flight. Once Brown took off, he described it “like being in charge of a runaway train”. Brown landed the aircraft without incident, and he along with his German ground crew celebrated with a drink. There are only 10 known examples of the Me 163 left in the world, with a glider replica being built by a former Komet pilot
@@gabrielzavala9141 it would be hands down the best dogfighter in the game if it did. Probably the best vehicle in the game by far. It is already a top 5 easy
Wait. There are so many errors. "Take off is too slow without boost" You know the little flame is not for takeing off, right? It's for Gliding in the air. The boost is the thing how you start. This is not a negative, just a difference. It's not like you are low on boost to begin with. "Very bad at dogfighting" Highly disagree, You can beat any other plane with this thing, exept the lazer. Even the Hydra and the Rogue. I tested myself with a friend thats into jets and mostly uses them. The missles are good against choppers, but alot of the new planes can get away with ease. So, the cannons are the main weapon for dogfighting and i took down 3 hydras, 2 Rogues, And alot of Molotok planes. The Other things with the landing and distance fyling are onpoint, but i feel this video was a bit rushed. The lazer is the best jet in this game.. you can't expect this little guy could beat it easly. Test it agaist the hydra or other new planes that are more common, as the lazer. I would even say, that the Starling comes second, after the lazer by sharp turning. Hope you will reply on my critisim.
Sky Captain I think you're forgetting the fact that you can upgrade handling with the new aircrafts. The rogue with race handling can make sharper turns than the lazer.
Sky Captain If you roll the rogue about 30° and use the other turning control you can make really sharp turns, unfortunately there are no good tests on YT so I shouldn't have said that it is better than the lazer.
I get ya! I done a way better testing as this bs ua-cam.com/video/PZi2cyAL3rU/v-deo.html It showcases the best planes right now and how they would perform in a dogfight. This oc doesn't show topspeed/landing or other things that doesn't matter in a dogfight.
The Starling is really good at dogfighting, it's just the Lazer is super good at utilizing the explosive rounds. Let's consider BOTH pilots are 100% effective and utilize their vehicles as best as they can. The Starling should almost always win, just boost much higher and flank. The only way the Lazer wins is by hitting you directly with the machine guns at least once, the Starling loses functionally (Boost) and basically loses. I've only lost to a Lazer once and it was because they were higher than me, I was too focused on dodging their shots so they quickly looped up and swatted me down.
Awful information.... watch Ghilliemaster for the real thing. He actually tests properly and te starling is the 2nd best dog fighter now, Pyro is number one.. the starling actually has a very good turning radius. You just have to be a good pilot to take advantage and to kno how to use it. If your use to flying the hydra and Lazer it's a totally different experience and learning curve but once you learn the tricks you'll dominate any hydra or lazer
Matt Smith To me the Starling is the number 1 dogfighter because its the only jet where you dont have to fly at weird angles and use rudders to get the smallest possible turning circle. And still out turn most planes in the game. And has extremely powerful guns and spam missiles. The metal kite of death.
@@Glarpinator lol your favorite jet is the b11 which is so easy to use it’s boring, there’s a reason noobs buy it, cause it takes 0 skill to dogfight with lol.
Youre not doing it right. This thing is the 2nd to best dogfighter in the game. You have to not treat it like every other jet. Don't use the rudder. You will get a smaller turning radius just by flying at a 90 degree bank angle and pulling up and only briefly boosting to keep from stalling. Even the rouge doesn't stand a chance if you do this. The MGs despite being non explosive will still rip most other planes apart almost instantly under heavy fire. Regen goes twice as fast mid air if you fly at near stall speed for a period of time without cutting the engine. And you land by going in circles close to the ground until it stalls. Landing at speed will also let you taxi faster if you keep the throttle up.
The real-life counterpart to the Starling, the Me-163, was a German rocket plane. The Me-163 didn’t have the horizontal stabilizer at the back like the Starling, only a rudder. It was basically a flying wing. In War Thunder, I tend to try to avoid dogfights with it, due to its maneuverability and firepower, as well as its small size, which makes it very difficult to hit.
Same here except for a level 800 lazer pilot guy, he had trouble getting behind me but still took me down, i've only killed some because my other opponents would always ewo after they see their engine smoke or jump out of the jet.
@EmperorJuliusCaesar with source missions he means the cargo from the hangar bussines which u can access from the laptop in the hangar office and if you do 15 of these missions you can get the starling for like 900k less then normal. If you want more information on aircrafts go to GhillieMasters channel
Late reply, but it is decent. Just fly while high up and you will go faster. Honestly though, the Lazer/Pyro FEEL much faster but technically the Lazer is slower. I'd still use those over the Starling to get across the map tho. The starling is basically meant to dogfight and bomb people not travel or do missions.
I actually done my first 1 vs 6 today in this and one i don't know how but i am happy . Almost all of my successful dogfights have been in the starling . This thing is underrated
I like how in gta the starling is the best plane for bombing in the game but the real life plane it’s based of off was meant to be a bomber intercepter
@@hamzah9522 using skill doesn't a certain plane better then the other plane/s so why is it worse then the starling at dogfighting (not mad/triggered im just curious)
As I pilot of the Starling I will say it’s quite the conversation piece. I made three friends with it and I only bought it yesterday. I really do think this thing would dominate the MKII but I’ve only fought a few Hydras. A good tactic I use is to go up really high and then dive bomb with its rapid fire missiles.
@@youngmetro3times849 Take a joke buddy, nobody is perfect at English so please stop making unnecessary comments about someone's spelling. Simply read the joke and stop being a smartass.
@@laneclark9319 mach keine Sorge, alle denken so nicht, ich bin Inder und nach meiner Meinung sind fast alle Deutschen sehr sehr freundlich egal welcher Rasse ich bin
Most underrated vehicle in the game it just has a steep learning curve but once you get the hang of it, it's a beast with the proper use of the boosts it's the ultimate mk2 killer just climb and dive bomb them since they climb so slow... rinse and repeat. But yeah like shown you basically can only SURVIVE landings when landing on a full runway unless you're going really slow..
I bought it because I've simply loved this design as soon as the Aifix kit came out during the seventies now I am able to live out a fantasy I've had since then. One thing I noticed is it can dodge lock on missiles by rolling a quarter turn then pulling up hard on the stick, rolling half a turn so you've leaning the other way then pull hard on the stick then repeat a few times. I'm not into PvP I'm not that good a pilot but at least I stand a fighting chance in the air.
How to land: get just above runaway, hold S, and nose UP - it works much better. btw. i cant figure out why max upgraded starling cant fly straight without boost, i hold W to make that little engine at back work harder (it gives more flames so it does sth) but it still falls down like lazer with turned off engine.
No debate, I own every plane in smugglers run and this is the best, there is a technique to land it like a helicopter, best dogfighter, best bomber, not even that hard to master, quite cheap. Buy one, you won't regret it
Bought it because it was a German plane. And it's really not that bad once u get used to it. It really is a good dogfighter against the Lazer and Hydra. I actually out ran a homing missile going straight up full boost.
@Gerardo Ingram the b11 i feel like if your doing headhunter or protecting sales or just anything in general b11 dont use the starling unless your a veteran pilot
Will you be doing a review on the Molotok? This is the other plane I was considering buying, but not sure if it's different enough from the Hydra to be worth it.
Well from my experience with both the Hydra and the Molotok I will say the Hydra is better because the handling is great but the Molotok for whatever reason its difficult to steer when you're going really fast and its hard to land.
The Straling beats the Molotok in Dogfighting. But this video mispresents this plane. You can dogfight every other plane against the lazer and it will fail. I call it an unfair comparison, I fly this german bomber since update and you can beat all other planes. The Molotok is the real one that can't turn a sharp corner.
+SpinJumpKing's #1 BIGGEST FAN!Call me FAN! (GC Gaming Companion) it is garbage at dogfighting, but it is a very different way of flying, and is great at bombing. If you have the cash, I recommend buying it.
Darin Schoenrock Yea, honestly, I'm not really looking for a way to troll/grief, instead, I'm looking for something that will get me around the map quickly and at the same time being able to have some good armor and/or weapons equipped on the vehicle, whether it be by using them with a friend or not. It would also be quite usefull if it could hold at least 2 people in it...
On console I’m better with the Starling than I am with a Lazer. The slow speed without the boost allows it to lag behind a lazer and hydra with short boosts to keep up a decent speed. The starling isn’t meant for instant destruction in a dogfight but when given the chance to have consecutive fire on a laser it will go to black smoke in one second if you don’t miss and enough will eventually make it explode and kill the pilot. The LF-22 Starling is one of the best dogfighting aircrafts to have in the game if you practice and master it. You may underestimate those guns but they can do some serious damage in a short time, not as fast as an explosive cannon but still really good
The Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet was a German rocket-powered interceptor aircraft. Designed by Alexander Lippisch, it is the only rocket-powered fighter aircraft ever to have been operational and the first piloted aircraft of any type to exceed 1000 km/h (621 mph) in level flight. Its performance and aspects of its design were unprecedented. German test pilot Heini Dittmar in early July 1944 reached 1,130 km/h (700 mph), an unofficial flight airspeed record unmatched by turbojet-powered aircraft for almost a decade. Over 300 Komets were built, but the aircraft proved lackluster in its dedicated role as an interceptor and destroyed between 9 and 18 Allied aircraft against 10 losses.[3][4] Aside from combat losses many pilots were killed during testing and training.[5]
Is this the Falcon 1 Livery? This is prob the best thing I've ever bought on GTA. I haven't upgraded the boost or handling and it seems perfect. How much of a difference does upgrading the boost make? This plane is incredibly relaxing.
Given the rocket boost and the poor landing & turning capabilities I was considering this for long distance journeys where I could just eject and parachute to the location. But seeing the speed test vs the Lazer made me reconsider. Thank you for saving me 2million Pro :)
This was 4 years ago some people saying this guy is just using it wrong if you didn't know the starling got buffed and at the time it wasn't buffed for him
You will never a good beat a hydra or lazer pilot in anything except a b11 or another same kind of plane. There are no rules in free mode, I won’t combat merge you and I’ll shoot you straight away with the explosive cannons of the lazer and there goes every single machine gun plane including the starling. The only one that can beat this is the b11 since it will take out the lazer before the lazer blows up the b11

I actually done my first 1 vs 6 today in this and one i don't know how but i am happy . Almost all of my successful dogfights have been in the starling . This thing is underrated
6:54 I'm pretty sure bombs are already explosive
Lol
No I use non exlposive bombs on all of my planes
There are gas and/or incendiary bombs you can eqiup.
I like how in gta the starling is the best plane for bombing in the game but the real life plane it’s based of off was meant to be a bomber intercepter
This is the second best dogfighter in the game you just dont know how to dogfight. If you want shap turns dont use the boost
its not the second best, it IS the best, no jet can beat it
@@hamzah9522 i think the pyro is also good. still prefer starling tho
Ilay Berger nah the pyro is one of the best, but still no where near as god I’ve beaten every pyro I’ve fought
@@hamzah9522 using skill doesn't a certain plane better then the other plane/s so why is it worse then the starling at dogfighting (not mad/triggered im just curious)
@@Mikeeeeeeeeeeeeeee3 Pyro and Starling can be interchanged. These 2 come to personal preference
As I pilot of the Starling I will say it’s quite the conversation piece. I made three friends with it and I only bought it yesterday. I really do think this thing would dominate the MKII but I’ve only fought a few Hydras. A good tactic I use is to go up really high and then dive bomb with its rapid fire missiles.
Don’t forget the baguette bois
Cough cough METAL AND PROTO
You videos are so good I like how u give ur honest opinion
1:53 GG flat earthers xD
i like the way you review bro cheers for the vids
No one:
Not a single soule:
Proffesional: STARLING IS BAD AT DOG FIGHTING!!!!!
Useless and totally unnecessary “nobody”, it literally didn’t add anything to your “joke”. and btw, your spelling is terrible.
Im not mario I assume ur english is perfect?
Its a joke look at the joke not the spelling
@@youngmetro3times849 Take a joke buddy, nobody is perfect at English so please stop making unnecessary comments about someone's spelling.
Simply read the joke and stop being a smartass.
'as you can see my friend he's having a difficult time getting as high as me''
I feel you bro
Bruh
i beat every other plane dogfighting with this thing lol
3:10 have you seen the propeller? It isn’t meant to take off without the boost
I’ve killed multiple people with the thing not upgraded maybe you just on a good pilot I’ve killed lasers with this thing easily
U are soooooo good youtuber im definitely subscribed!
Me: it’s a nazi plane?
Also me: *angry German noises*
German built plane named after a Russian
I hate I when my friends call me a nazi cause I’m part German not all Germans were nazis

Most underrated vehicle in the game it just has a steep learning curve but once you get the hang of it, it's a beast with the proper use of the boosts it's the ultimate mk2 killer just climb and dive bomb them since they climb so slow... rinse and repeat. But yeah like shown you basically can only SURVIVE landings when landing on a full runway unless you're going really slow..
Great video dude.
I bought it because I've simply loved this design as soon as the Aifix kit came out during the seventies now I am able to live out a fantasy I've had since then. One thing I noticed is it can dodge lock on missiles by rolling a quarter turn then pulling up hard on the stick, rolling half a turn so you've leaning the other way then pull hard on the stick then repeat a few times. I'm not into PvP I'm not that good a pilot but at least I stand a fighting chance in the air.
How about flying away from the rocket? With the boost its faster then every missile.
2. Best doogfighter in the Game...
Professional: ist's very bad at doogfighting
what?
Its the best pyro is garbage lmao
How to land: get just above runaway, hold S, and nose UP - it works much better.
btw. i cant figure out why max upgraded starling cant fly straight without boost, i hold W to make that little engine at back work harder (it gives more flames so it does sth) but it still falls down like lazer with turned off engine.
Don’t listen to him he has no clue about anything when it comes to pvp.
lmao fax, this dude should stick to grinding
Hamza Al-asadi yeah
He is a good pilot he just hasn’t used this before and got the hang of it
Dobbo 0789 he’s trash
@@IdkIdk-nt6iq bruh, he’s a millionaire in this game, He’s way better than you at flying
Pro: Don't use it for dogfighting
MetproSOWC: Hold my baguette
best comment
That plane is great, its good at dog fighting.
No debate, I own every plane in smugglers run and this is the best, there is a technique to land it like a helicopter, best dogfighter, best bomber, not even that hard to master, quite cheap. Buy one, you won't regret it
Watch ghille he's god on this plane
your intro is the best ad your videos are really good
2:46 I lol at this
Bought it because it was a German plane. And it's really not that bad once u get used to it. It really is a good dogfighter against the Lazer and Hydra. I actually out ran a homing missile going straight up full boost.
REMAKE THIS VID
I really like it just because of how unique it is
Puts American livery on a nazi plane... makes total sense
lmao
Professional: this plane cant dogfight
Also this plane: one of most feared dog fighting planes
@Gerardo Ingram imo if your a good pilot starling but for most people b11
@Gerardo Ingram the b11 i feel like if your doing headhunter or protecting sales or just anything in general b11 dont use the starling unless your a veteran pilot
Does it have unlimited bombs?!
+Jake Doug no 50 bombs
it's on sale. the LF-22 is on sale in gta 5 for the first time ever. 40% off. amazing. only took them how many years to put it on sale one time?
its waaaay toooo hard to land
I can land it without damaging the plane, but i need a long runway, but is still very difficult.
+Darin Schoenrock Try cutting the engines before you touch down. You can land much easier and stop much faster.
I can lqnd anywhere i want to w this XD just stall and go up down up down so u use it as an air brake and u can land much quicker n shorter distance
I just crash my plane into my hanger and it automatically takes me inside
Its called late war German technology syndrome
Will you be doing a review on the Molotok? This is the other plane I was considering buying, but not sure if it's different enough from the Hydra to be worth it.
Well from my experience with both the Hydra and the Molotok I will say the Hydra is better because the handling is great but the Molotok for whatever reason its difficult to steer when you're going really fast and its hard to land.
The Straling beats the Molotok in Dogfighting. But this video mispresents this plane.
You can dogfight every other plane against the lazer and it will fail.
I call it an unfair comparison, I fly this german bomber since update and you can beat all other planes.
The Molotok is the real one that can't turn a sharp corner.
Sky Captain the lazer is trash and i prove it against every single person who says it s the best.
Wow... I never realised how garbage the Starling is...
... its my favorite plane tho...
Darin Schoenrock Yea, my friend loves it, too... Not judging, but what's it with people liking this plane?!
+SpinJumpKing's #1 BIGGEST FAN!Call me FAN! (GC Gaming Companion) it is garbage at dogfighting, but it is a very different way of flying, and is great at bombing. If you have the cash, I recommend buying it.
Darin Schoenrock Yea, honestly, I'm not really looking for a way to troll/grief, instead, I'm looking for something that will get me around the map quickly and at the same time being able to have some good armor and/or weapons equipped on the vehicle, whether it be by using them with a friend or not. It would also be quite usefull if it could hold at least 2 people in it...
SpinJumpKing's #1 BIGGEST FAN!Call me FAN! Get the rouge. Best plane in the gane
On console I’m better with the Starling than I am with a Lazer. The slow speed without the boost allows it to lag behind a lazer and hydra with short boosts to keep up a decent speed. The starling isn’t meant for instant destruction in a dogfight but when given the chance to have consecutive fire on a laser it will go to black smoke in one second if you don’t miss and enough will eventually make it explode and kill the pilot. The LF-22 Starling is one of the best dogfighting aircrafts to have in the game if you practice and master it. You may underestimate those guns but they can do some serious damage in a short time, not as fast as an explosive cannon but still really good
First
Explosive cannons doesn’t mean it’s bad at dogfighting, like they’re pretty powerful. It’s just explosive cannons are better.
I Know you’re probably not gonna see this but I love your videos keep it going and I’ve been in your session
Another great video Patrick, I always hate it when you leave your streams to either sleep or for your job.
I also saw Hummer Guy making Lazers look like a joke with this thing
The Car Industry Lebron or AD ?
My 2nd favorite thing with the Starling is giving it to noobs. They crash in about 8 seconds. They last 2 seconds longer than I did.
I love we made this video he didn't realize this was going to be the best dog fighting jet in the game
What's ur obsession with orange
Hey pro, how much would you recommend I save for the new dlc in December, I have almost 15 million
Literally the best plane for dogfight
The Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet was a German rocket-powered interceptor aircraft. Designed by Alexander Lippisch, it is the only rocket-powered fighter aircraft ever to have been operational and the first piloted aircraft of any type to exceed 1000 km/h (621 mph) in level flight. Its performance and aspects of its design were unprecedented. German test pilot Heini Dittmar in early July 1944 reached 1,130 km/h (700 mph), an unofficial flight airspeed record unmatched by turbojet-powered aircraft for almost a decade. Over 300 Komets were built, but the aircraft proved lackluster in its dedicated role as an interceptor and destroyed between 9 and 18 Allied aircraft against 10 losses.[3][4] Aside from combat losses many pilots were killed during testing and training.[5]
Is this the Falcon 1 Livery? This is prob the best thing I've ever bought on GTA. I haven't upgraded the boost or handling and it seems perfect. How much of a difference does upgrading the boost make? This plane is incredibly relaxing.
J C longer range
Given the rocket boost and the poor landing & turning capabilities I was considering this for long distance journeys where I could just eject and parachute to the location. But seeing the speed test vs the Lazer made me reconsider. Thank you for saving me 2million Pro :)
Its one of the best planes ever he is just bad with it
Why did you add a horizontal stabilizer ?
This was 4 years ago some people saying this guy is just using it wrong if you didn't know the starling got buffed and at the time it wasn't buffed for him
Professional: this plane is terrible for dog fights
Ghilliemaster: It’s the best Weaponized Vehicle In the game
how many aircraft can you store in the hangar overall (including aircraft in storage)?
never had i ever had a lazer get the upper hand on me in the starling. you just need better skills. this is one of the best dogfighters
You will never a good beat a hydra or lazer pilot in anything except a b11 or another same kind of plane.
There are no rules in free mode, I won’t combat merge you and I’ll shoot you straight away with the explosive cannons of the lazer and there goes every single machine gun plane including the starling. The only one that can beat this is the b11 since it will take out the lazer before the lazer blows up the b11
