- The Lightning F.6 is one of those vehicles that some people love and some people hate. In this episode of Stock to Spaded, I try to figure out what all the talk is about and see if this is truly a difficult plane not only to play, but see how it is from stock all the way to spaded.

IRL the RAF tested the F6 against the F104.The Lightning beat the F104 in all tests except low level acceleration, which was a dead heat
Whale on whale 😂
Im not sure if you mentioned it, but the Red Top has the highest KG tnt mass in any self guided missile, 23kg TNT, which just obliterates any planes or even in a bad miss, the proxy fuze just crits the plane so badly it just crashes. especially in Sim where people dont see behind themselves.
And also in sim, due to its size and 2 massive engines in the rear, on multiple occasions (like 90% of the time) in sim, you can survive getting hit by a missile. Sure your egnines are down, but you can stil glide down. due to its heavy nature and size, it loses speed fast so you need to land asap, but you can land safely and ive got a clip of it in sim and its a sick af clip.
My favorite plane for sure. We don't call it running away. We extend and re acquire.
I remember how OP it was when matchmaker had 9.3 i think as a hard stop, and lightning basically was always downtiered.
I think for this series it would be good to see what mods have been installed halfway and/or provide some suggestions on which mods are recommended to go for first.
15:39 surprised that red top hit the range is so bad on them
I got the F.53 it has the highest SL modifier in the game its great grinding SL once you get used to the play style
Can you revisit the F4D-1 Skyray? It still rips wings sometimes but it’s far more durable than it was upon release
Turn off wing Boosters and it rips FAR less often
@@JetfireQuasaryou don’t even need to do that anymore
You always make the best plane reviews!
That lightning skin is the one on the 56th squadron firebirds who fly in cyprus
great video, love the lightning.
Really good vid !
Got to agree, sertanly was a highlight of the Brit tree
Please bro make a review video like this on Fw190 (F8 variant) .... Please, Thanks !
Would love to have seen one of these mythical uptier games you had, see how you do ;)
very nice
Can you make a new video on the A4E Skyhawk, since a lot of people have it and need tips on how to play it.
can you do a video on the shenyang f-5?
yes to su-25k video and the F3
can you do a video on the Yak-3U?
could you do a stock to spaded for the leKpz M41
The lightning had real issues through its service -
Fuel
Silly radar that had a hood you had to put over your head to see -
No radar warning receiver
Sub 300 Knots and you stop being viable.
Limited weapons.
At low altitude - despite its massive thrust - it was quite draggy and 650Knots was about what you would get.
(That being said - no one is doing Mach 2 at sea level).
Contrary to claims, and the pitch that its only an interceptor -- it was a good dogfighter - except for heavy fuel burn -
It had a lot of thrust and as such energy recovery.
Climb, speed, power - all available.
It was not lacking in the flight envelope. It was lacking in the weps and tech.
Interesting
"real issues through it service" - "limited weapons"
It was literally designed to intercept soviet bombers at extremly high altitudes very quickly, and thats why it has the Red Tops, which have also been designed for bomber interception at high altitude where there is less air drag, its more manuverable up there and thats why it also has 23kg TNT load
there is no such thing as limited weapons when it was working according to purpose
@@petrkdn8224 RAF had QRA in place. It fell to 2, and maybe 2 more on standby. Many many missions had one of the two scrubbing through unserviceable rates -
If you have bear D intercepts that's ok. But if they sent 20 backfires, or something similar, its not being stopped by QRA.
In its day, people can argue that there were bloodhounds and similar - its all a good discussion. I think the lightning was awesome. But that is a side issue to its mission scape and reality. Anyhoos.
I have caught up to f104's at the deck in a spaded lightning, the lightning just doesnt keep speed up high altitude
A spaded F104 can stay close to 1450kph, so those has to be somewhat stock
Can't say I agree with your opinion of the Lightning, though as 99% of the matches I've had in the Lightning have been full uptiers against teams consisting mostly of F-5Cs which just do everything better, my opinion may have a negative bias.
I am a noob and I don't know where that 'Green Square' on the target showing the distance when locked is gone. Oh sorry, it is still there. But I wonder how to activate it? Does it exist on sim?
Sounds like the swift on steroids
can u do stock to spaded j35a i want to see if its worth it
Do you mean j35d since the A model is a premium
Well its a swept wing aircraft, so expect a flying brick.
Can you do more bids on British planes as I am grinding that tree and want to know what is best to go for
Also I would like to see the tornado vid
Jaguars are pretty fun to go for, tornado f3 is ok takes a bit of learning but can do well once you know what your doing with it but it certainly isn’t meta
@@eddielikespies thank you
I cannot for the life of me get any kills in a lightning uptier
I really like Lightning F6, but Adens are hard to use and missiles are very bad. Its Redtops can often not even hit a target flying straight from ~1.5m away.
that's why you need to either get close or fire in a turn, because that's how they're designed
@@TheOnlyTYRE i mean yeah, Red Tops were for bomber interception, thats why they have 23kg TNT, and have bad turning, they were meant to intercept soviet bombers over the UK, and bombers dont turn
From my experience, the lightning is faster than the F104 and has a much better acceleration
Mine is the opposite, f104 is faster but same acceleration
Videos of basically 'how to play' or 'how to beat' not a bad idea with how many I see out there not playing aircraft to their strengths and paying for it, or losing to an easy to beat aircraft. Maybe cover in the videos differences when using certain versions/modifications with how many go 'lol, 109/190 with extra guns go Brrrrr' - and then wonder why the P-47 is out turning them cause the fighter configuration (2 MG's and nose cannon and 2 nose MG's and inner wing 20 mm's respectively) can get around on them but the weight, drag, etc of the cannons has made their turning way worse. And why I usually laugh at some of these people that bring extra guns (other than planes where the AG is actually stock/only weapon and rare cases like the A-4 what has way too long a reload with too little ammo) cause barring a lucky shot before I get past them their an XP piñata who can't out turn or out run me.
do this with Q5L i tell you you will quit 1 modification cost 20 k rp
Ah yes the pregnant su 7
hi, could you try out the Yak 23 now? i have played it this evening for 10-15 games stock(only my second jet ever.) but i have been facing only 9.3 and up enemies every single match(RB) even had matches against 11.7 plaine!!! something has to be very broken in the yak 23/8.7 match making. when im uptiered every game without exeption and even been facing top tier.... Please test and tell Gaijin if you get the same. i will be very shoked if you dont get the same shit ive been dealing with. i have never been this tilted over a game as it got me today over these 15 games.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY! But a comment is a comment.
The 9.3 BR is a fake, this thing still faces 10.3 planes it has no business with 90% of the time
10 months later, the lightning is hot garbage now
