Honestly, the Skyray is a fantastic aircraft for 9.3. That is of course, if you play against other 9.3 planes. However, 8 out of 10 matches, I face Mig 21 MF/SMTs, Mirages, Swedes and AC 5s; which is anything but enjoyable.
The squad chat isn't a glitch it's more over a weird unused feature when your in a squad by yourself you can chat in squad even with random guys they can't chat back though
wdym they can't talk back? I beleive they can. Tabbing between team and everyone never allows you to get into the squad chat, you have to press the binding specifically designed for squad.
@@mil-mi24hind yeah, you only need 2 keybinds. One for all/team chat and one for squad. People keybind the squad chat when they want to talk to their squad in the squad chat. If you don't, that's fine.
Now at 9.0 very competent plane, good acceleration, climb, turns on a dime (but just once : ) but you must play it extra carefully, no negative G maneuvers of any kind, roll then pull if you need to go negative G. Speaking of which, also roll gently, cause roll is also neg-g on ONE of your wings. Boost only in gentle maneuvers or in a straight line. What keeps it down are still unreasonably high repair costs (an actual issue for some, especially new players) and the fact that you will still explode your wings roughly 1 every 4-5 matches, even if you are very careful.
The F4D isnt a bad plane when its spaded...the problem is the 9.7 BR bracket. When you get planes like the SU25 and others with all aspect missles it gets very hard to do well. The plane can out turn just about everything tho and IF you can get into a 1 on 1 dogfight really no one stands a chance against you
The number of times I outmaneuvered something using it is incredible especially in mountain maps. Also since it's a flying wing it can take a shit load of damage and maintain lift.
i have the suspicion, that its the instructor of the plane, that rips the wings. when it tries to rudder and elevate at the same time. but i did not try it, just seen a possible pattern, when watching others flying it
ive been playing it alot, its pretty good i never experienced the wing breaks, good speed i can outrun most jets and sometimes i get downteired, i think its kind of worth it its fun and got me some money, my only complaint is the compression by the wings and the repair cost, the repair cost is just too much for a jet that breaks its wings.
I love this plane tbh, i 1v1'd my friend while he was using the draken and saggitario I kept on winning and i havent ripped this plane once, so i dont understand why people dont like this plane
Thanks for sharing another great video. Kind of a shame this thing didn't end up being very good since it looks fantastic. From what I've seen it reminds me a lot of the J32B Lansen I'm grinding currently: a great engine, but unable to perform due to being subsonic at 9.3 and having limited killing power with bad guns, limited ammo and AIM-9Bs. Unsure whether to keep mine or force myself through another day of grinding to sell it
Both rockets you fired hit, which I’m more than I can say for the mig17as…I don’t even bother bringing them anymore and take bombs n play strike aircraft lol Edit: it’s an overall decent plane though, I just can’t play rocket thunder with everyone else in uptiers

I agree completely
@@GWMedic65 Yeah, the Skyray is pretty much a suffer bus; unfortunately.

the squad chat thing is because u have *auto squad* enables
@@pringles4728 or are in a squad with a friend but hes offline

@@meatisomalley nobody has a specific keybind for every chat channel

REAL damn brave of you to dive straight down in this thing...
Yeah usually I just pancake but the air brakes definitely remedy thst

You are such a small channel but you still post great content keep it up :)
"Personally, I prefer flying a plane that has wings" such a great line 🤣good vid tho
@@perennialE You are very much welcome! You deserve at least 100k subs
Israeli F-15 pilots: "You can live with one kidney, and you can land with one wing"
Just like jetnoob he has a soothing voice and friend like opinions me likey.
Who's JetNoob?

You can type in squad chat when you play alone and you have offline friend in squad

They fixed the wing ripping, so it's not as bad as it was
@@fate3071 yea but it costs 21k sl and its super hard to survive anything in it
@@antuansr2528 that's true, I guess I don't notice the repair cost because I'm too busy dying either way lol

Dude you are soooo underrated, I love this! This vid is so frickin good and you deserve way more subs. 😊
Beautiful video once again, initially I wanted to grind this but at this point I honestly have up. Only use seems to be selling it 😂
Haven't touched it since I spaded it and it's still cost more to play than F-14
I didn't completely agree with the premise of the video but I just wanted to say the R-60 joke at the end broke me 🤣
Awesome video by the way!
comical review! nice!
you should fly sim ;)
Personally, even is wrong, I consider it something near a flying wing.
you Deserve more subs and views then me tbh
Why do you kind of sound like 2nd900

Sad what Gaijin has done to this awesome aircraft!
