F-5E Splash Three: Bad Start, Bad Positioning, Good Recovery

🚀 F-5E splashes three with missiles after some bad mistakes 🚀
Welcome pilots and aviation enthusiasts! This one is unfortunately also a replay recording because I wasn't recording mid game. This is a good example of some mistakes that can be made in the F-5E. Luckily my teammate was there to take out that Mig21 on my booty, Or maybe he got teambonked... I'm actually not sure lol.
🎮 Game: War Thunder
🛫 Aircraft: F-5E Tiger II
🧑Crew Level: 67 Ace
🎮Game Mode: Air Realistic
✈️ Basic Overview: The F-5E is not the fastest jet for its BR but it's amazing when fully spaded. It's also really good at turn fighting. It typically maxes out at 650-670 knots with after burners on.
🚀Missiles: The Aim 9Js are pretty decent within 2km and sometimes resist flares when launched within 1km
🚀Air-To-Ground Missiles: The AGM-65B can be used on aircraft in four ways.... The first is in a head on, the second in on a flaming enemy, the third is within .7km behind the enemy, and the fourth I discovered in this game.... which is to launch them on a climbing enemy.
Stay tuned for more flying action :D

Never knew the 5E can get mavericks

Yup! I always bring them with me. Great for avoiding a head-on. Luckily in this game that JA37 was on fire so it tracked like an all-aspect air-to-air missile lol
