    IRL the RAF tested the F6 against the F104.The Lightning beat the F104 in all tests except low level acceleration, which was a dead heat

    Im not sure if you mentioned it, but the Red Top has the highest KG tnt mass in any self guided missile, 23kg TNT, which just obliterates any planes or even in a bad miss, the proxy fuze just crits the plane so badly it just crashes. especially in Sim where people dont see behind themselves.
    And also in sim, due to its size and 2 massive engines in the rear, on multiple occasions (like 90% of the time) in sim, you can survive getting hit by a missile. Sure your egnines are down, but you can stil glide down. due to its heavy nature and size, it loses speed fast so you need to land asap, but you can land safely and ive got a clip of it in sim and its a sick af clip.

    this plane almost immediately became my favorite plane to fly and is swiftly becoming my favorite plane full stop.
    it started with a ”that looks kind of funny” and now it is my most played plane in the game as well as the single vehicles with the most sl earnings. even beating out the premium I used to grind out the british tree

    Can't say I agree with your opinion of the Lightning, though as 99% of the matches I've had in the Lightning have been full uptiers against teams consisting mostly of F-5Cs which just do everything better, my opinion may have a negative bias.

    The lightning had real issues through its service -
    Fuel
    Silly radar that had a hood you had to put over your head to see -
    No radar warning receiver
    Sub 300 Knots and you stop being viable.
    Limited weapons.
    At low altitude - despite its massive thrust - it was quite draggy and 650Knots was about what you would get.
    (That being said - no one is doing Mach 2 at sea level).
    Contrary to claims, and the pitch that its only an interceptor -- it was a good dogfighter - except for heavy fuel burn -
    It had a lot of thrust and as such energy recovery.
    Climb, speed, power - all available.
    It was not lacking in the flight envelope. It was lacking in the weps and tech.

      "real issues through it service" - "limited weapons"
      It was literally designed to intercept soviet bombers at extremly high altitudes very quickly, and thats why it has the Red Tops, which have also been designed for bomber interception at high altitude where there is less air drag, its more manuverable up there and thats why it also has 23kg TNT load
      there is no such thing as limited weapons when it was working according to purpose

      @@petrkdn8224 RAF had QRA in place. It fell to 2, and maybe 2 more on standby. Many many missions had one of the two scrubbing through unserviceable rates -
      If you have bear D intercepts that's ok. But if they sent 20 backfires, or something similar, its not being stopped by QRA.
      In its day, people can argue that there were bloodhounds and similar - its all a good discussion. I think the lightning was awesome. But that is a side issue to its mission scape and reality. Anyhoos.

    Videos of basically 'how to play' or 'how to beat' not a bad idea with how many I see out there not playing aircraft to their strengths and paying for it, or losing to an easy to beat aircraft. Maybe cover in the videos differences when using certain versions/modifications with how many go 'lol, 109/190 with extra guns go Brrrrr' - and then wonder why the P-47 is out turning them cause the fighter configuration (2 MG's and nose cannon and 2 nose MG's and inner wing 20 mm's respectively) can get around on them but the weight, drag, etc of the cannons has made their turning way worse. And why I usually laugh at some of these people that bring extra guns (other than planes where the AG is actually stock/only weapon and rare cases like the A-4 what has way too long a reload with too little ammo) cause barring a lucky shot before I get past them their an XP piñata who can't out turn or out run me.

    hi, could you try out the Yak 23 now? i have played it this evening for 10-15 games stock(only my second jet ever.) but i have been facing only 9.3 and up enemies every single match(RB) even had matches against 11.7 plaine!!! something has to be very broken in the yak 23/8.7 match making. when im uptiered every game without exeption and even been facing top tier.... Please test and tell Gaijin if you get the same. i will be very shoked if you dont get the same shit ive been dealing with. i have never been this tilted over a game as it got me today over these 15 games.
