Phly you are the reason I joined the Air Force and I am now part of the 90th fighter squadron. (No I haven’t shot down any balloons)… (if you have questions I will try to answer all of them)
My first modern(ish) jet, and one of my most favourite aircraft to play. Such fun to reach Mach 1 in a horizontal line in less than a minute before pointing the nose 90degrees up and levelling off in under a minute at 10km or more high.
@@ivanandrade6211 this thing also does not turn, and if you break off wings - you ll find out that 104 don’t even need them to continue flying. Those things on the sides are just a decoration for pilots to feel more familiar.
@@alexey_chekhovich in fact when you fly over mach 1 wings doesnt generate lift force only drag but you still need the control surfaces so its better to not get rid of them
if only more players played liked Phly does - it would be such a wholesome community, just having phun Phanks for all the entertainment and all the laughs, you're the man!
In Germany, it was called Witwenmacher (widow maker), Erdnagel (earth nail), Fliegender Sarg (flying coffin) and of cause Starfighter. It had a bad reputation here, but the Bundeswehr used it for the wrong stuff, like bombing. xD
I remember on a video when the F104 was first introduced somebody said that the German government at the time was looking for a new multirole fighter, and Lockheed convinced them that the F104 could fill that role. We know how well that turned out by the wonderful nicknames it received.
9.3 may seem mean vs the sabers and mig-15s, but if you bump it up just a little it's the one getting crushed. The Starfighters really need flares, but Gaijin gave all the other nations the best Starfighters with countermeasures (even though the US was the one building and exporting them or at least licensing the designs, so wtf). So these early Starfighters have nowhere else to go, thanks to the awesome BR compression.
@@herrevan5678 F-104A and C could easily be 10.0 It's not a good plane but it works, especially if the decompress better. It's nigh untouchable if you play it right
@@King63Kobra how?, at 10.0, it's speed which is the only thing it is good at, is both surpassed and matched by aircraft with significantly better maneuverability, oh and try maneuvering against any missile. The tiny wings give it no AOA, no turn, and no lift. If you go too slow you'll just become a bus and die, so its impossible to reverse someone, and of course you could always outrun them, but you don't even have the speed advantage, and even if you did they would just missile you. The F-104 has no place in WT's matchmaker right now, it either clubs or gets clubbed.
@@King63Kobra dude it has aim9bs have you ever used them against an entire team of su7s and su25s all with all aspect missles but I cant have countermeasures either as well as missles that only lock on from behind
When the title says pancake, I thought he's going to take out the XF5U Flying Pancake, although I just realized Gaijin haven't added the aircraft yet, it's funny looking.
Last clip gave me Ace Combat vibes HAHAHAH In situations like that, I pull throtle back to mil power before leave the controls and follow anything in the area.
Saw a CF-104 in person at the Ottawa Aviation Museum. My Uncle described it as "a rocket strapped to your arse". After seeing it in person.....yes....it is a rocket!
Bro I was trying to play a bomber earlier to level up in Sweden cause that is what me and my friends decided to grind in, I had 7 aircraft on me in the first 3 minutes of the match
Hey Phly. Really loving this comeback of some Air RB videos. Watching your flashbacks the other day made me remember how you channel started. More Air RB content plz!!!
flaps and slats down the F-104 can actually pull some insane turns, it apparently would surprise people IRL with this capability too. then of course it can extend away on nearly anything
the f104A makes one of the best slow speed dogfighters in the entire game, not because of it's turn but because of it's ridiculous stall control and engine power... by far my best jet for reversals as well.
It's awesome you put out this video today. I took a short 4 day class and every morning walking to class there was a 104 sitting out front with a nasa paint scheme.
Went to the Pearl Harbor Air museum today, had a nice f-104 there, so tiny. Surprisingly the f16 is about the same size just with curves. The f111 and f14 are enormous. F-105 was gigantic
"Does the color of the sky mean anything to you? It does to me.. The Dark Blue". Have you played Ace Combat 7 or ever any AC game? I recommend you try. Even tho it's different, it's super entertaining. You remind me of a character from an AC game. No one specific, but you bring the missing element into WT that AC has.
The main reason that the F-104A and C got moved down (IMO) is that they just absolutely sucked at their job at 9.7 and 10.0. Especially once you add in 30G all aspect missiles and a lack of flares. But dang, this thing brings me back. I had a dogfight on the deck of Berlin in this thing against a 104S. We were going at best 150mph, only 300 meters above the ground at our highest, thatching and slowly working out each other's weaknesses. I was so close to getting the kill, when a Mig-21 3rd partied with his missile.
Hey Phly! You should check out Dart-One here on UA-cam, he is cracked with the F-104A. He uses the airbrakes and landing flaps to slow down as much as possible and then uses the Starfighter's insane thrust-to-weight to stall fight anything. He often flies in custom battles to practice.
hey Phly! i gotta ask you man, how are you doing as of late? after you became a dad, i fealt so happy on your behalf man! i envy you tbh. but enough about that. how's life as a dad? you doing ok? you getting enough Food/water/sleep? i am hoping for yes on all three of those questions haha. bless you Phly, and your content. stay healthy my guy! much love from Norway!
Not gonna lie, Sir you are the reason I keep trying to play war thunder. I unfortunately own it currently on console, so it's hard to play but I still have so much fun. Can't wait to own a PC again. Keep up the great work and I hope you are doing great in life mister Phly. Also Happy St Patty Day B)
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace Where never lark nor ever eagle flew- And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of Todd.
once again, war thunder the only game that makes you feel bad for the enemy when playing a plane/tank because its so unbalanced or because you are fighting people who are helpless against you.
4:40 That A10 really just shot down a Mig21 with a Maverick
Happens 🤣been there done that(as a10)
😎
Maverick moment
WELCOME TO WAR THUNDER
rare moment a maverick B is useful
Phly you are the reason I joined the Air Force and I am now part of the 90th fighter squadron. (No I haven’t shot down any balloons)… (if you have questions I will try to answer all of them)
bro flies supersonic F-22s but can't spell, have you shot down a balloon yet?
😮😮🎉
Cool. How many balloons have you shot down today?
@@jasperhunter8386 sounds about right for the current clown world. 🤡
The smartest us military goon
My first modern(ish) jet, and one of my most favourite aircraft to play. Such fun to reach Mach 1 in a horizontal line in less than a minute before pointing the nose 90degrees up and levelling off in under a minute at 10km or more high.
Let's talk about the fact that the Tornado can nearly get outturned by this thing, because Gaijibles said so.
"Nearly" lol the tornado makes the f-104 feel like a chaika.
the tornado doest turn and if it turns it gets its wings broken
@@ivanandrade6211 this thing also does not turn, and if you break off wings - you ll find out that 104 don’t even need them to continue flying. Those things on the sides are just a decoration for pilots to feel more familiar.
@@alexey_chekhovich in fact when you fly over mach 1 wings doesnt generate lift force only drag but you still need the control surfaces so its better to not get rid of them
the tornado has a on-manual g limit of 2.5g with wing tanks
trust me, its not really gaijins fault
I remember playing top tier in my B-17 and a friendly f-104 rammed me at mach 2 instantly turning me into paste.
To be fair, F-104s have a history of colliding with bombers that have the number 7 in the name.
Deserved
he did a good job and you really deserved it 🤗
@@bagelmaster2498 what do you mean deserved?
@@StarkRaven59 xb70 incident
if only more players played liked Phly does - it would be such a wholesome community, just having phun
Phanks for all the entertainment and all the laughs, you're the man!
4:40 lol I like how you said it takes all the fun away but the guy used a maverick for that kill
In Germany, it was called Witwenmacher (widow maker), Erdnagel (earth nail), Fliegender Sarg (flying coffin) and of cause Starfighter.
It had a bad reputation here, but the Bundeswehr used it for the wrong stuff, like bombing. xD
Wrong stuff - like flying.
I remember on a video when the F104 was first introduced somebody said that the German government at the time was looking for a new multirole fighter, and Lockheed convinced them that the F104 could fill that role. We know how well that turned out by the wonderful nicknames it received.
@@Khotetsu It consisted of bribery to German officials, it was a big scandal when it was found out
Thet intro caught me off guard. The way the missile slowly approaches the Buccaneer sets it up well.
9.3 may seem mean vs the sabers and mig-15s, but if you bump it up just a little it's the one getting crushed. The Starfighters really need flares, but Gaijin gave all the other nations the best Starfighters with countermeasures (even though the US was the one building and exporting them or at least licensing the designs, so wtf). So these early Starfighters have nowhere else to go, thanks to the awesome BR compression.
The American f104’s were never fitted with flares, they were flareless even running cap missions in Vietnam with the c variant.
@@herrevan5678 F-104A and C could easily be 10.0

4:40 Dude got a kill with an AGM-65B head-on
When the title says pancake, I thought he's going to take out the XF5U Flying Pancake, although I just realized Gaijin haven't added the aircraft yet, it's funny looking.
I don't care what anybody says, i still enjoy flying my higher tier 104's in game. I idolize them for their sheer whackness.
Widowmaker
That Lockheed Sales Guy... must still be laughing.
Poor dead Pilots.
A fun joke among Starfighter pilots in the US was “banking with intent to turn.”
4:40 yeah I don't think that is an aim-9L he shot him with
Thanks phly one new dad to another you bring peace "im tired"
Last clip gave me Ace Combat vibes HAHAHAH
In situations like that, I pull throtle back to mil power before leave the controls and follow anything in the area.
I remember when 9.0 was max for aircraft RB, having MiG-15 and Sabres. Now there are planes at 9.0 that have afterburners and IR guided missiles.
@phlydaily the "aim 9L" from the A10 was an AGM 65B. Certified chad.
"Let my team do the doging..."
All Brit's watching: "Doging 🤭"
So are we gonna ignore the A10 that shot down the MiG 21 with AGM missiles?? 😂😂😂
I love the starfighter, when played right its a GEM, untouchable if you think while you play it
Another upload brought by the legend himself.
I 1v1'd an F-104 once on a Vautour and it was one of the most epic dogfights I've ever done, that was a bus fight for sure haha
Oh, hey, it's the lawn dart with the hardpoint holders.
Attempt 9 - Please play the SAu 40 tank destroyer. It's one of the strangest looking TDs in the game and I love watching your french-tank videos!
Saw a CF-104 in person at the Ottawa Aviation Museum. My Uncle described it as "a rocket strapped to your arse". After seeing it in person.....yes....it is a rocket!
to all war thunder players, If you don't let a bomber bomb a base I forever hate you
Bro I was trying to play a bomber earlier to level up in Sweden cause that is what me and my friends decided to grind in, I had 7 aircraft on me in the first 3 minutes of the match
I'm that lightning on fire (12:42) lmao. It's such a challenge to play that thing
Hey Phly. Really loving this comeback of some Air RB videos. Watching your flashbacks the other day made me remember how you channel started. More Air RB content plz!!!
a touch of eric andre is always appreciated
Bro really just spectating the whole game while flying supersonic, this is what happens if the SR71 blackbird gets released
4:40 UHHH Phly that wasn't an Aim9L that was a AGM-65B LMFAO
I agree about the Su-7. The MiG-23BN is 9.7 and it's pain but at least you can bomb and run if nothing else.
0:48 LMAO that scream!!!
The 104 is such beautiful craft but also so strange. Its like the airforce wanted a missle that could be piloted.
flaps and slats down the F-104 can actually pull some insane turns, it apparently would surprise people IRL with this capability too. then of course it can extend away on nearly anything
the f104A makes one of the best slow speed dogfighters in the entire game, not because of it's turn but because of it's ridiculous stall control and engine power... by far my best jet for reversals as well.
The second you finished saying "let him get those bombs off first" I subbed
OMG HE DID, THX FOR FLYIN THAT GORGEOUS PLANE MR DAILY!
ATTE EDITOR MAN DUDE
It's awesome you put out this video today. I took a short 4 day class and every morning walking to class there was a 104 sitting out front with a nasa paint scheme.
Yoo that A-10 actually took out the mig-21 with a maverick !
The intro absolutely sent me lmaooooooooo
Love the ace combat thumnail
F104 : *Happy Avril Mead noises *
Went to the Pearl Harbor Air museum today, had a nice f-104 there, so tiny. Surprisingly the f16 is about the same size just with curves. The f111 and f14 are enormous.

I just have the mach cone disabled. Its extremely handy in supersonic fights when everyone else but you has they're vision blocked lol.
YESSSSSS YOU FINALLY PLAYED IT
I started to stop asking around a year ago after asking for around a year
phly is such a fair player, i wish all players were like you
at least i try to be
8:55
Phly daily learning that all su7 players are sub level 40 farmers circa 2023
That plane is like "Who needs wings anyway"?
4:55 that a-10 used a AGM on the mig not even a Aim9 LOL
The main reason that the F-104A and C got moved down (IMO) is that they just absolutely sucked at their job at 9.7 and 10.0. Especially once you add in 30G all aspect missiles and a lack of flares.
But dang, this thing brings me back. I had a dogfight on the deck of Berlin in this thing against a 104S.

Launches msl”I JUST WANNA LOOK AT HIM
mig 21 pfm is the first mig 21 in the line. When it loses speed. It LOSES speed.
this thing is basically just a manned rocket at this point
F-104, world's fastest lawn dart.
"Let him get his bombs off!!"
''Let our team do the Dogging'' obviously means something different in the U.S 😲🥳
Im a simple man, i see Phly play Air RB; i like
4:43, that wasnt a aim 9L, that a agm 65b lmao
he hit em with the maverick lmao

On todays episode, Phly Phlies a Phlying Space Needle
hey Phly! i gotta ask you man, how are you doing as of late? after you became a dad, i fealt so happy on your behalf man! i envy you tbh. but enough about that. how's life as a dad? you doing ok? you getting enough Food/water/sleep?
i am hoping for yes on all three of those questions haha. bless you Phly, and your content. stay healthy my guy! much love from Norway!
Love the content Phly, keep it up!
Combo time, non premium p61 black widow and m4a2.
Attempt 162
atempt 162? To the Salamander we go!
Phly, you just make my days so much better :)
I think that's the ground. I also don't think planes should fly into the ground.
The panic in your voice is hilarious 😂
Not gonna lie, Sir you are the reason I keep trying to play war thunder. I unfortunately own it currently on console, so it's hard to play but I still have so much fun. Can't wait to own a PC again. Keep up the great work and I hope you are doing great in life mister Phly. Also Happy St Patty Day B)
what about console is hard?
I play on console using controller but you can use keyboard and mouse if you really wanted to
Now you've gotta try the 10.7 F104-J for the opposite of fun
TY Steve. I can never hit s*** with that thing
Poor Buccaneer ;-; Those planes are bullied.
And also listening to Black Sabbath makes success rate go to 101%
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark nor ever eagle flew-
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of Todd.
i love watching air i wish he would post more air vids and less ground
Like to petition for having a option to remove mach cones in 3rd person it messes up my aiming too often.
4:45 the A 10 used an AGM 65 to hit the mig 21
Basically the same way I play the Sea Vixen
Ah yes the flying supersonic pencil
Let your team do what!? 😳 (also the A10 killed him with a maverick lol)
like the f104 reminds me of the FW 190
Love the vids keep it up
You have helped me stick with the grind thx
It's good to see the f104 getting some love at 9.3. One of my favorite planes in game. To space and beyond
Could you do the new Switzerland squad jet for Germany? Just want to know if it's worth me picking it at my squad research vehicle.
Dorito that faces AIM-9L and R-60M
Phly, play the Ikv 72 with the filler round and try to only get overpressure kills.
So we’re just gonna skip over the fact that the a10 in the first map killed the MiG with a maverick?
PHLY! The B-29 is the actual new king of tnt payload! Could you please bring it out with its 4x4000lb bombs?
Day #4
I wanna see him struggle with the 104J
PHLY at 4:48 that wasnt a Aim9L its was a Maverick that killed him
What about the wäffen träger? I need some Canadian syrup.
once again, war thunder the only game that makes you feel bad for the enemy when playing a plane/tank because its so unbalanced or because you are fighting people who are helpless against you.
4:45 look at the kill feed, that was a maverick air kill
Cheeky ace combat thumbnail
HOLY CRAP YOU WERE IN MY GAME!
I'm really happy to see air rb videos
17:07 this was soooooooooooo cool
Confession be told you should really play the buccaneer after this, and also, gijin needs to add a gunpod to the buccaneer.
