Re-upload, because I realized I messed up something in the previous upload.
I don't expect this video to do very well, its a bit more educational than the average WT video.
I would like to upload more WT videos, but I'm still trying to figure out how I want to go about this.
Pls before u comment, watch the video.
sincerely,
~ my two braincells
Also, should I make a Discord server?
I kinda want to, but idk if anybody cares lmao

Regarding the pylons, I did some testing in a few planes (F-4E, Su-17M4, even the Milan's giant pylons) and couldn't find a single instance where pylons added any amount of measureable weight or drag. I was looking to prove that they did and found nothing. However, what's attached to pylons
Clearly the correct way is to crash on takeoff and kill your friendly that's next to you with the splash damage, I see this happen all the time!
Sorry for the re-upload. I pulled the previous one before it reached 300 views. I realized I wanted to change something about the edit.
As an early-game player the notion that bombing is at all consistent is completely alien. It really just feels like it's a roll of the dice if an enemy fighter notices you then decides to climb up and snipe you, or if you get a free game bombing bases uninterrupted.
A2d for bombing f-5c for dogfighting
It's important to keep in mind that winning matches also assists in getting that gamer grind on. Even if you don't do as well, winning can make up the difference, which is usually done by clapping the enemy out of the sky
F5C has one the worst accelerations at its tier. Reddit comes the the conclusion to load it up with bombs, Checks out
Me, having to check my countermeasure pods before taking off every single day out of fear of Walvis
I grinded the us tech tree by bombing and then fighting, im not great at air combat so the bombing was much more consistent for me and throughout the grind, it slowly taught me how to fight in air to air.
What F-5c user skin is that?
You see the F-5c as a bad bomber
The thing is you got these results achieving a 4.75 K/D in the F5C as a fighter. The whole-population average K/D for players using it as a fighter is probably about 1.2. And what's more, they do not have a winrate of 90% they probably have a winrate of 52%. When you're in this regime, you're going to have a lot of games where you fly around and don't shoot anything down for 15 minutes, during which you may or may not be killed. You return to hangar 15 minutes closer to death and having gained nothing for it.
A few things I would like to point off, first off, its best to take 3-4 napalm canisters to bomb bases since it's a fraction of the weight of a full bombload, and still take out a base. Secondly, if you have the pylon automatic jettison key slider activated, you will drop your pylons after use, and you will not have any additional drag since the little extensions on the wing for carrying ordinance do not have drag modeled. Also consider using 2 second periodic flares when you are approaching the target, so you can drop your bombs without dying.
before the introduction of 12.0 whenever I got up tiered in the F5C I would use it as a bomber otherwise I would always run it with missiles only, this way helped me with being consistent in grinding regardless the enemy I faced cos you know the aim7F and all that the F5C meets
Damn right
I go back and forth with bombs on the F5C, but sometimes cause after helping my friends fight enemies off, i notice im flying at the enemy bases and could've gotten some more points, but then i strap the bombs on, and often get intercepted before. Ngl its just 10x more fun to only strap the missiles on and show people you're not afraid to dogfight with that thing.
To be fair, 2x 1000lb and a 2000lb works fine. Helps keep the weight down but still gives a fair little bonus to a few air kills
Thumbs up on the video. As an avid F-5C pilot in SIM who takes off with napalm every time - I would like to point out that this plane being a premium means it's almost entire reason for it's existence in the game is to grind - the largest potential to do this is bomb, then go Air to Air as you suggest. However what I have found in SIM is even with the most recent addition of teir 12 I am flying against MIG 29's which make this "terrific little dog fighter" really pale in fear outside the hands of the most talented pilot. I would say average players who can do fight shouldn't bomb with it. Those who understand how to bomb without being shot down (not possible consistently, admittedly) will have the largest gains from this Premium Aircraft thus fullfilling it's intended role as a premium plane. It seems to me you have another strong argument for decompression that the community as whole continues to agree on - breaking up these top teirs, more.
this kind of video on wt is not seen. You are the only one to get data and numbers out of your experience. So many yt channels are already telling how to use vehicules and co. based on experience. Not data. I think you would have success and stand out from the hundreds of new channels playing wt. It might take much more time to produce, but damn you really stand out in quality!
I appreciate the time taken to do the comparison 🙏
