Why No Fighter In War Thunder Can Do What This Attacker Can

  • The A-7, while appearing (less than) mundane, has one little trick up its sleeve that makes it special among all but one fighter, and among all other strike aircraft in the game.
    While I used the A-7E to demonstrate throughout the video, the A-7D is perfectly capable of doing it the exact same way. The only difference between the A-7D and the A-7E is armament. Other than that, they are functionally identical in War Thunder. Same with the new A-7K.

    Hey Pili, great video as always. The A-7's in War Thunder takes its flight characteristics from the F-8's flight model, the entire aircrafts maneuvering characteristics are nearly 1-1 with it in the files. The F-8's do the same thing but MUCH better and WAY more controllable. Something to note aswell, the F-8 and A-7's wing shaping profile, and weight distribution is also nearly identical to the Su-27 series, dunno if that has anything to do with it, but I'd imagine it does. F-14 can cobra aswell in full real at speeds between 90 and 360kt, but since it has so much lift, if you hit it over 170, it jumps in altitude by 10-30ish meters. Anything under that is fine.

    The A7D is very underrated. When it came out it was game breaking, but it's still very good. Sure it's not all, that fast but it's very stable and turns extremely well at low speeds, so much so that it very often catches enemies unaware. I've beat an F5c, su25s, mig21, f4s and more in dogfights using it, just because when they drop speed yo try to get on your tail they lose almost all their maneuverability, whereas yours stays pretty much the same

    The cobra is a very useful manuever if you use it correctly. when you are sure that your opponent wont be able to pull its nose into you in time before they overshoot. I use it in the flanker when I stage dogfights in sim custom battles. I'm able to consistently compete with gripens using it to avoid the nose.

  • @ZdrytchX
    @ZdrytchX Рік тому +1

    the first aircraft to do a true cobra in WT was probably either the J7W or the SB2C (which had a major issue with its CoG vs aerodynamic centre flight model issue on release, making it borderline unplayably unstable with sim controls). I don't have any footage of the SB2C's old FM, but the J7W's old FM can be shown if you look up in broken english (because japanese), "J7W is UFO"
    Also before the draken, the MiG-21 could cobra and at a very specific speed, does 115 degrees AoA. MiG-21's FM has since been horribly nerfed and has pretty terrible elevator authority now.
    Also, Mirage IIIC could do a backflip. I haven't been able to do one in a while, but I do have footage of me doing it a few times, initiating it at about 200 knots/~350 kph. None of the other mirage FMs has the pitch responsiveness of the IIIC, but the reason why I haven't been able to do it for a while is because like the draken, its pitch authority got nerfed recently.
    Also, Kfir is technically an attacker. It fullfills the thrust requirement, and there's a hilarious footage of someone in RB doing a cobra, spinning a few times in a hover then flying off without dying.

    At least it looked like one to my cousin and I was only doing it because I was about to reach the bomber wave way too early and die before anyone else reached. It was such a slow cobra that any enemy would be able to run away before you got the nose back down lol.
