This is like SakoSniper but instead of reviewing how the vehicle operates in game, you actually go into detail on how the actual vehicle works.
He gives a real life synopsis of the aircrafts, love this dude, one of a kind war thunder TH-camr.
I actually thought this was a Sako Sniper video when I clicked it
The real life synopsis is one of the best parts of these reviews. It is interesting to learn about the history of many of these weapons. Even when I am familiar with them, Tims Variety always manages to find something interesting.
Also like how he goes in to even the smaller details. Like both how accurate the cockpit seems to be, and the general layout. Covering every aspect of the crafts he goes over.
Back again with literally some of the best information a review could give on vehicles! You are really beneficial to those of us who love air.
It's so disappointing. The missiles are pretty trash now with the update(the RB 24J goes for flares like r-60s now), very limited load outs and wrong radar. I've made a bug report on it already on the dev server where it had the JA 37C's radar and all that gaijin did was rename it. I hope they actually take my new report serious...
Oh yeah also: the cockpit has a lot of things wrong. The tactical map should be the ground radar scope, the lights around that are supposed to be the rwr but that's not modeled and the HUD is just nowhere near what it actually was.
Deadass this is why I quit. They are so hopelessly lazy and greedy and it’s obscene a vehicle in war thunder with bad development is the same price as a module in DCS world. Fuck gaijin
every single missile in this game can be 1 flared
@@NANOG-P8 yes
Just got custom loadouts lol
Hello sir, i was searching for some answers to my questions and i think you may have them. I'm currently using this plane and try to do some good moves on SIM battle. I would like to bombs grounds targets and use the CCRP, but it seems like the HUD in the cockpit lack any informations about that way to drop bombs. Do you know what's happening, or how to use it correctly ?
Thanks in advance !
Meeting AJ37 when i’m in F3H is a very pleasant experience. Greetings from 9.7br
Meeting f4c when I’m in j29f is a very pleasant experience. Greetings from 9.0br
On a side note, harriers man, why not get rid of those on the next anniversary xD
I love greeting aircraft and helis in the Lvkv9040C with the proxy rounds. They do a low flyby to avoid all the missile spam? Great, here I am waiting for ya :D
I just recently discovered your channel, and I must say I am DEEPLY enjoying the content! The no-nonsense, information packed approach is digestible and convenient. I'll be back to watch more!
Would love to hear your thoughts on the Sea Vixen....its such a unique plane
.. soon ..
@@TimsVariety ☺️🙏❤️
Unique... Yes. Its very "unique". Not so mucg good but deffinetely unique
@@denking7024 idk man, it can be frustrating but it’s pretty normal to get on average 2-3 kills per match
@@rifroll1117 its just werird tho, its a plane where you cant equip guns and other than that has no agm as far as i know, its a bit slow, unmanueverable, and bomb load kind of sucks comoared to some other jets
Every video is a pleasure to watch, professional, educational, and friendly!
Wait is it you hans?
@@nanuk2304 ja
The viggen in-game is around 700 km/h slower than it is in real life. IRL it reached above mach 2.1.
Ingame you can barely get on mach 1.20
Yeah, it could reach those speeds at 11 kilometers high, of course you're not gonna be hitting mach 2 at sea level. Atmosphere is way too thick there, creates more air resistance, thus limiting your speed.
@@eiteiei4063 The issue is that none of the other planes have reduced top speed on their stat card. Viggen only have about 100 km/h slower top speed than the Phantoms but the Phantom gets to keep it's 2.2-2.3k top speed at 11k.
I just want to tell you your reviews are perfect
i hope if they add the AJS37 that it can use its weapons more effectively
None of the viggens have historical loadouts for whatever reason. Gaijin be like "Yeah it could carry 6 of these, let's give it 2". Like what?
@@ideadlift20kg83 Just rUssIaN BalANcE.
@@ideadlift20kg83 what? What's wrong with their loadouts?
@@ideadlift20kg83 realistically speaking, then the t-2 should get aim 9L which it could carry in real life and F-1 should have flare/chaff pods. Honestly none of the vehicles have realistic loadouts for balance reason.
@@retardmoguss The Viggen has a top speed of 2600 km/h but 1990 in game lmao. I really wish they'd stop with this weird balancing.
This thing is seriously limited by the lack of pylons. If it could get at least 2 more it would be a beast
Yeah that kind of sucks
Issue being that that's the AJS upgrade... However it did carry aim-4s on the unused pylons for some time and I hope we get that
nice and informative video as always! cheers from sweden
Gaijin should give it the full options of ordinance and put it at 11.0. Having a Viggen at that low a br is absurd, especially with an airspawn
Totally agree :)
the only armamant the aj37 is missing is the rb28(aim4)
@@einar8019 they carried the Falcon missile? Poor them
@@hefish not in service but they had the capability to carry them on the outermost pylons
loving these vids
Me sitting here in DCS with my viggen carrying a single gun pod and a ecm pod with two sidewinders and two two stand off attack agms
Fun keybind that's hiding behind full real controls, you can set a key for brakes when you're on the ground, which still works when you're not in full real control mode. Should let you stop even faster with the reverser and the brakes going at once. Also let's you do silly things like be at 100% thrust and not move.
Fun fact, no swedish 30mm ADENs have ANY trace rounds now, so when you gunfight, it's all with the heart of the cards as they say
This thing is surprisingly effective in the fighter role, with the 2 RB24Js and the twin cannons combined with an air spawn has left me multiple ace games lmao
Feels pretty sad to see the AJ Viggen in such a boring state, not a bad jet state or attacker state but it feels like Sweden will have nothing to show until we see the AJS 1993 modification (same year as the AJ-37C variant) to freshen up the CAS options for Sweden and maybe introduce Anti-ship missiles (many others get them I know).
Lets hope we see more on the Viggen until the Gripen (which might never be able to be added because of political and informational issues). I guess A(small J because light weapon load)-37 is what it is supposed to be and it's better to have balance than jumps in power.
We could get the Danish F-35 attacker draken
@@julian5857 That's right yeah. Hopefully sooner than later.
Good video as always ^^
Just started playing both viggens in sim- honestly, I'm more a fan of the JA than the AJ. The lack of countermeasures with cannons- or the ability to equip both bombs and cannons- really sucks the fun out of playing what is essentially just a worse AJ. Sure, it can do what it needs to do in terms of ground attack, but only having 120kg bombs and tv guidance aiming that more often than not seems to glitch out when aiming down sights than anything else just kind of defeats the point of it all. I've had far more luck with the rockets that are available on the JA anyways.
Try the DCS AJS37 if your into sim

You can press B to brake with the reverse thruster
Although I understand that you still have a good deal of aircraft to review and make videos for, would it be possible to get a review of the United States' F-4E in the current meta? Even if it is a general review video, a quick look for even a few minutes would be wonderful to hear from you given how well you tend to cover aircraft overall. I am fairly worried about the airframe in light of things like the Viggen, EJ Kai, MiG-23s, and so on with PD and MTI radars and I haven't been flying it for the last couple of major patches that much. Thanks!
Funfact: This Viggen actually has the Cockpit of the AJS-37, as seen on the lower right panel.
8:20 if you have a keybind for breaks you can break while reverse thrusting
if you have breaks bound you can hold then the moment you touch the ground you dont have to wait and you will stop a lot quicker
It's kinda insulting that you grind all this long to get to Swedish top tier jets and finally get a taste of modern missile CAS only to be disappointed and outclassed by almost every other nation, despite the Viggen being one of the most iconic planes.
İts a a garbage plane both irl and in-game
This was a big airplane ready to take a fight with the F4 and Mig 21. And it was capable to take a heavy load of ordnance.
6:34 "We'll blow up that bridge when we come to it"
- Someone
Or you can bind another button for manual brakes and have the engine on reverse and brakes at the same time
did anyone know about the pointy bit on the Viggen's wing for, i dont seem to understand what is that for and after some research i dont think i find any information of it.
the wierd thing is the TV rockets dont really track moving targets sadly...or am i doig something wrong?
I hope they add the ajs 37 soon sweden needs a good top tier cas option
Looking at this comment after the f16 and mig 29 got introduced made me laugh out of swedish pain
Can you make a video about the F104J that it is on the wrong br pls
From what i understand the middle pylon was used only for the extra fuel tanks, while the two missing outboard pylons were only used for aams, though i'm not sure if those were added with the ajs-37 or if they were in already with the aj-37.
outher pylons were used for Rb-08 (license-built AIM-4 Falcon) as SAAB recomended to limit weight on those pylons to 80 kg, however, AFAIK, during update to AJS recomendations to limit weight were just ignored by airforce crews.
_________________________Below is just some fantasies and theories, don't take that seriously_______________________________________________
So gaijin could just pull "F-4F card" again, but i think they're planing to add AJS-37 relatively soon (next year maybe?), and as additional stimul to grind it - voila, additional, outboard Rb-24J
@@OGUrez1997 So i looked around the forums, and apparently the outboard pylons were only certified for aim4's (which were never used afaik, but they should get them anyway honestly), and then only during the ajs upgrade did the airforce say that reduced service life (from wing-strain from the extra weight of the aim9s) was acceptable and the ajs-37s were rated for the outboard pylon being used for aim9's. Also i think with the ajs37 it could actually carry 4 mavericks.instead of just 2.
@@rm2569 afaik, benig Swedish and a regular visitor at the museum where aj, ajs, ja, sf and all kinds of 37’s used, it could always carry aim 9s on the outer pylons no matter the rest of the loadout. Had a old viggen pilot show me in a real cockpit in a custom simulator on how to attack with it. It has a button to switch from attack weapons to aa missiles and back real quick.
@@spikesz7849 yeah, from what I understand the attack viggens could always technically mount the aim9s on the outboard pylons, but they didn't under recommendation from Saab that it would reduce the lifespan of the plane,until the ajs37 modernisation where the swedish air force decided to just take the hit and mount them anyways. The fighter variant since It came later was rated to carry the 2 aim9s on the outer pylons from the beginning. Apart from that I think what's missing in terms of loadouts is assymetric ones, like one maverick and one sidewinder for example.
3:24 Introducing the Thunderbirds
While the AJ37 had 7 pylons, it only used four of those for weapons. The outermost pylons were meant solely for the RB28 (Aim-4), and those were never used in service on the AJ37. The central pylon was only intended for an external fuel tank, but could also be used for an RB04 anti-ship missile. I've heard this configuration with an RB04 on the central pylon was only for transport and that it didn't have the proper electronics in the pylon to use it. It did have an extremely limited weapons load in real life, which is why they were usually used in pairs of four.
It's worth noting that the AJ37 could carry the RB75 (maverick) on the wing pylons, but for some reason there's no evidence for it ever carrying four RB75 at the same time.
As for the maximum load, i think that includes the 4145kg (+ 1190kg external) of fuel.
TLDR; the AJ37 had a very limited weapons load in real life too.
That's why a balanced AJS should have come instead or atleast should be planned, A F-35 (Danish attack Draken) is also a great addition.
@@valhallaab8399 How do you propose they'd balance the AJS37? Also, the 35XD doesn't really have anything going for it other than the nine 1000lb bombs.
@@teodordimdal6313 The 35XD could have 9x 1000lb mk-83 bombs, 14x 500lb bombs, 4x rocket pods, 8x smaller LAU rocket pods, 12x unguided rockets, 2 AGM (bullpups I think I saw).
Sweden has 3x 600kg bombs for the A32B and 12x rockets for the J35D or 24x for the Viggen, the AJ have two Rb05 or Mavericks, nothing else is there for top tier Swedish CAS, Atleast what's comparable to other nations, the A-4E gets 5 Bullpups at 8.7... The AJS could be balanced but the one big problem is the BK-90 cluster glide bomb which could be unseen, and destroy many tanks/AA in spawn or at a capture zone without even getting in range of AAA. The problem is not localised to the AJS but a ton of american and russian etc jets who could carry cluster munitions, sure you can add it without it but then people need to know that the feature is not there yet, if ever. Hopefully not soon.
The words said by user ''Panther2995'' regarding the addition of the AJ instead of the AJS said on WT forums:
''Compare it to other high tier Cas planes then ask yourself if its enough or not cause from my point its not.
Nobody said we shouldnt get AJ-37 in the first place but due to how br system is compressed AJS-37 would be much better choice until they expand the br's to 12-13.0 gap.''
@@valhallaab8399 The 35XD wouldn't be better than the AJ37 at CAS and the AJS37 would in terms of ground attack only add the possibility of carrying four RB75s at once. Though carrying 4 RB75s might even have been possible on the AJ37 since it COULD carry them on the wing pylons even if it (as far as I know) wasn't officially tested carrying them on the wing pylons and fuselage pylons simultaneously. The AJS37 would in war thunder almost exclusively improve the air-to-air capability when compared to AJ37.
@@teodordimdal6313 I never said the J35XD was better than the AJS but it's sad to only see fighter variants of planes that had attacker versions, the A32 and AJ Viggens are exceptions.
If they want to flesh out the tree a J35XD would be alot cooler and practical for the long run than a underperforming (not in air to air) strike aircraft which is only at the BR that it is because of it's air to air and engine performance, any US or Russian CAS plane at top tier use alot more weapons but perform worse in air RB. Those trees have above 4+ attackers to choose from, all with many air to ground missiles.
I'm just salty we won't see anything special or viable in the tree in the near future, the JA37C is in many cases better at everything than the AJ, A J35XD Would open up for a bomber option in CAS but still perform good in air to air and could make a BR gap for the JA37C to go up and a AJS replace the CAS option for Ground RB. The AJ just seems like filler with such a boring loadout (compared to any CAS option for other nations, even at lower BR's).
I definitely need to see a log
I just unlocked it! I’m so exited lol I need 310k more rp 😀
What would you recommend doing to grind high tier USSR air? I have plenty of GJN coins thanks to selling the 279, but after getting everything else I want in the sales, I'll only be able to afford a talisman (not that I wanted copy paste premiums anyways). Problem is, I don't own any of the vehicles in question yet and don't want to grind each line first when I could just go for one, talisman it, and have any easier time overall. Also, I don't expect to reach any of these aircraft in time for the current sale; I'll just save for the Winter sales.
From what I can tell, it's pretty much down to either the Yak-28B or Il-28sh, or maybe one of the Su-7s. I know your thoughts on the Yak-28B, but others have said it's rewards justify it. And since I already have the rank 3 TIS MA, I can grind up to rank 4 efficiently already; I kinda need something at rank 6 to get full research benefits.
The Il-28sh seems more reliable, can defend itself, and has better payload (good for all modes) at the cost of being rank 5. And from what I can tell, as an 8.0 it can be a first spawn in sim.
The Su-7s are my least likely choice, as I got screwed out of buying the Su-9 in a tech tree layout update, and now have to grind all the way up from the La-5F. Granted, I could maybe still get there in time for the Winter sales. Otherwise they seem to fit the bill fairly well; the even smaller payload of the base Su-7B should be offset by air to air capability (I'm not sure about the Su-7BKL; more bombs, slightly better multipliers and the fact that not many 10.7s exist currently still might not be worth the 9.7 br).
And if you're wondering why I didn't mention any fighters, the MiG-19 and -21F-13 don't seem capable enough for grinding. The Yak-38M is interesting, but still probably not good enough (the premium is identical afaik yet is 9.3 thanks to premium noobs)
Yak28 is super reliable to get to a base, drop and RTB quick. If you're looking for a bomber to grind with, that's probably the one. You can get in a base kill reliably every game then either land and leave to avoid repairs or go for another run. Lots of the time it can straight up leave chasing fighters in the dust, though you have to be careful not to show your rear to anything with an aim9g.
I personally used the MiG 17 then the MiG 21f-13, but if you aren't a really good shot with a patient trigger finger and a calm pilot who can play the "Im faster than you" game without getting frustrated and overturning and bleeding all your speed, then the low tier 21's are probably not going to make fast research progress for you.
As an aside, the premium yak isn't 100% identical as the tech tree one gets some extra loadouts with more filled pylons like the 2 r60 + Gsh-23 gun pods for firepower. I wouldn't suggest it as more than a meme though as the plane is already a bus and making it heavier really doesn't help. Also, the gunpods still have small ammo counts, so no f4c spraytastic walls of bullets.
@@ovrwrldkiler Thanks, I guess I'm pretty much decided on the 28B then, also because of the grind I'd need for the Su-7s. But I thought the single 3000kg bomb couldn't one-hit bases (at least on 4-base maps); it definitely can't with the Tu-14, and I've heard other people complain about it. I guess it's still more damage than the Su-7s would do tho
I have one goal on the Swedish tech tree and one goal only I started today and I’m grinding insanely good I have saved up many boosters throughout my years of playing so I’m using them now I used to be at top tier American now I’m going the way of IKEA as a lover of gun pods the shall be fun. I will report when I get my viggin
The ver Im most familiar with whenever the Viggen is mentioned is the AJS-37, JA and Aj stand alones aren't what Im familiar with
The AJ is a 1970's plane, the AJS is a modernization for 106 of those 70's AJ Viggens to become AJS Viggens in 1993.
Pls review it also for combined arms
I really hope they add more pylons soon
3:23 bro u were nearly minced by that yak 38
We shared a high five on the way by.
One thing that's worth bearing in mind, if of dubious value, the Rb05 has a proximity fuse, so you can actually use it against aircraft. Although it's super twitchy so good luck with that.
It doesn't anymore. Gaijin fucked it
and it never did get moved up in BR
With all the changes in the past couple of month, this video didn’t age well. It lost it’s air spawn and with the addition of more crazy performing planes in top tier with all aspect missiles, the poor load outs and the lack of counter measures does hurt quite a lot. It turned from a potential bully into the one being bullied. :(
You forgot another quite significant downgrade, the Akan 30mm lost their tracers. Just bought the AJ-37 earlier today and I must say it is nothing like what it was when this video was made.. Took me 10 matches to score my first kill. Done one air assault and 12 air RB and I haven't even unlocked countermeasures yet.. Not that it matters that much if I do unlock them since I need t to unlock another six mods to be able to equip them with the RB24Js...
@@sullisen The missing tracers does hurt alot, if you still have to learn how to aim the guns (which is pretty damn hard, since they are mounted under the wings, have a low velocity and low ammo pool), but you can at least still potentially kill things with it.
The flares/chaffs are probably the most useless mod you can research on it. There is no case, in which I would only take 2 missles into the battle and no guns.
Watched few videos about 37 and i wonna say, that it seems gayjin nerfed engine power on both Viggens, cuz today u can't run away from anyone, except f5...
since when are there bridges?
Didn't even put a clip of me hitting him with like a 7 mile ranged side aspect R-24T kill smh
It's a cool jet with obviously stellar flight performance but the loadouts are very questionable. It would 100% go down in BR if it wasn't, well... a Viggen. The stock grind is miserable with the dual 30mm with a low ammo count and NO BALLISTIC COMPUTER despite having one inside the cockpit in the HUD. So you have to switch to 1st person view to use the guns ballistic computer. Even once you get the bombs, they have 30 kg TNT equivalent, which is ~half of a bullpup for reference. Dropping all of them, which you must sacrifice guns AND countermeasures for, can't even destroy an entire base.
Most jets are bad and less effective before becoming spaded, and that's perfectly alright. The problem with the AJ37 Viggen is that it's not particularly good or useful even after being spaded. You put the massive grind into a vehicle that ends up getting two Mavericks (already half of the "standard"), where you can either choose to have guns to be useful after you use your Mavericks, or countermeasures to even survive in the first place. It's a great jet that's let down by its terrible and confusing loadouts.
2 years on from this and the AJ37’s load out is still massively lacking, what a shame
of course you run out of fuel fast, you keep afterburners on the whole match
7:55 look at kill log
still waiting for its ability to carry 4 mavericks. and a 250 kg bomb fix they are way to weak right now. just lacks so many options in the wpns it can carry.
Hard to Believe that this airplanes is from the same time era as the phantom and the mig-21 xD
Heck I dont mind the 2 mavericks if they atleast worked properly. Half the time they don't lock and the other half it only causes critical damage.
Hopefully they buff the pylons
No anti-shipping missiles in game, KH-29L/T crying in the corner
Unlocked it the other day - and I must say I like it. I like it more than the JA, in game..
I guess I just like going in low and fast, hit some shit and fuck off, not worrying how useless my team is.. ;)
About the countermeasures. It was meant for one in four or sometimes two, to carry those. Depending on the threat. They usually operated in fours so it was not as much of a problem as here..
I feel like the AJS would be good at 11.3, in 6 months. Anyone agree?
Would be good for 11.0 now
I'm not so sure about the increase in BR. If they put it at 10.7 with its current Loadouts it will be back to 10.3 in no time
But what I can imagine they'll do to justify the increase is to add the missing pylons and weapons
There's no missing pylons and they'll probably give it the usual Sweden treatment of an insane repair cost.
another "review" of spaded vehicle with missiles, very fucking useful
Show me that a7e token jet
It´s not so much a ground attacker as a maritime strike fighter.. The main purpose was to hit Soviet invasion fleets.. Everything else was secondary.. Launch those RB 04E and then get some mroe.. That does not fit into Twat Thunder very well. Since all other options are quite weak.
Yeah, it could carry 7000kg of ordnance, but no load outs in SwAF service used up that. A potential export version might have.. SAAB were good at fixing stuff like that (look at the Danish Drakens!) - and they offered the SwAF way more weapon optiosn, but they declined.
No Viggens ever carried any Falcons.. They were supposed to carry the RB 27 variant of it - but since the spool up time was too long.. It did not. Those outer pylons for it was not activated for the AJ until the AJS upgrade - when it could carry RB 24 and RB 24Js..
And yes.. Viggens gushes fuel.. Went through it between 7 and 8 minutes on full afterburner..
I'm pretty sure the 7000 kgs includes the over 5000 kgs of fuel.
@@teodordimdal6313 No, you would be able to carry more than 2000kg of weapons.
They should bump it up to 11.0 but give it a much larger weapons load - realistic to its real life counterpart.
Should I get this or the draken first?
Kewl thx
Who else enjoying the War Thunder sales and getting in on the Harrier GR.1 spam?
I'm doing my part 👍
0/10 no Sven beating the compressor during turns and stalls.
engine go slurp slurp
The Mavericks do not work well I’m learning.
There is just as much "art" to them as "science" , it takes a while to get a feel for what altitudes/angles are more likely to get hits and such.
Any tips for grinding Sweden planes and tanks
I had a hard time for the first few planes but the best planes I had the time to play were the:
J22A/B (good fighter with great guns, especially the one with quad 13mm, climb and dogfight)
J21-A1 (massive weapons and one of the best planes in the tree, head-ons are good but dangerous, you can go for any target but it's hard to keep energy so climb some altitude)
J21-A2 and A-21A-3 (Both good but costs more and you should avoid playing them if you had a hard time with the A1 but I somehow got them all spaded so they might be perfect)
B18A/B and T18B-1, (all great bombers but you should not only go and bomb a base but go for fighters who don't see you or have guns you can take on, I usually get a good amount of points for a bombing in 5 minutes then maybe a kill or two then repeat, 8k+ RP in minutes, very good break from fighters.)
J26 (quite good but never got around playing much, climb and use your good energy after a good altitude)
A21RB (AVOID THE J21RA, it has worse engine and repair, the RB has good guns but the 13mm are swapped for 50 cals so do with that what you want but it's a good fighter but abit overtiered sometimes, good turning but horrible energy retention in vertical loops etc. Use your good guns and somewhat good turning to dominate fighters who can't out-turn you)
J28B or now A28B (English Vampire with one of the best turning stats and acceleration in game, climb 10-15 degrees up or stay low but whatever you do, watch your ammo, it's quite low , The only plane I have a talisman on, my highest kill and score plane in the tree, super fun but the only negative, absurd repair cost, 25k spaded... The rockets are good for ground pounding when you can restock on airfields, just don't use the 4 big rockets and the gun belts are amazing)
Avoid the Tunnan's if you try them and don't like one (A29B,J29A,SK-60B, Saab-105G and your good for tier 5, remember, A21RB and A28B. The J29F in the next tier is good but I had a hard time so I never played much, stick with the A28 if you can manage the horrible cost.
Next just stay on the left tree and play the J29F (if you can) and the J32B is amazing, 4 missiles and great energy and speed, just be prepared to rip your wings day in and day out.
J35D is great but horrible stock grind. 4 Rb24J's are amazing, try your RB24's at high altitude if you can survive better because the missiles perform better higher up. JA37 Viggen is the best but a hard cannon to aim and never take under 30 minutes of fuel ( I always take 45 because you never know how long a match it).
Ikv 72 is great for hills and hull-down positions, just use the M39 shell
Spj fm/43/44 is great fun and can kill everything it sees
pvlvv fm/42 is a good light tank that can destroy alot with it's gun
Avoid Lago 1 or any APDS tanks except the Strv m/41 S-ll
Sav m/43 1944 is great but quite slow and the M39 shell is good
Strv m/42 EH is quite fast but quite big and has the same gun as above
Lvtdgb m/40 is fun but very hard to aim sometimes, the 40mm is good against alot of tanks
The first real good ones:
Sav m/43 1946 might be the best tank in the first tiers because of the 240mm heat shell, use it!
Strv m/42 DT is one of the best tanks in the whole tree, good gun and fast reload 4.0 seconds! play it however you like
Pvkv ll is amazing but very low protection, use hills and distance to your advantage, your shell is POWERFUL
L-62 Anti ll is awful, don't play it
Pvkv m/43 1946 is like a pvkv ll without a turret. that's it, it's however quite alot faster that the pvkv ll
Tier IV
Ikv 103 400mm heat shell at 5.0, -16 gun depression, neutral drive, 4k repair, yeah its OP time it's amazing but very squishy
strv 74, good but bad armor and high profile, very good gun and gun depression but yeah, wait with this one cause it's 5.7 = no lineup yet.
lvkv 42 high rate of fire but low ammo, good against the side of tanks but horrible anti air if you shoot to much take this last
pvkv m/43 1963 a great gun and the only APDS at 5.0, you can use this with the strv 74 to have something by your side except the ikv 103 which can be played at 7.0 if you like.
Strv 81, good cannon and 285mm APDS. medium armor but your downfall is your mobility and lack of APHE, use whatever shell you like, more pen or more post pen damage
Ikv 91 OP laser rangefinder and 400mm shell at 7.0 or 7.3 to build a lineup with the strv 81
That's where I'm at but the rest is just higher repair costs and bigger guns
@@valhallaab8399 thx
ah, yes.... another greenhead nightmare jet. 10/10 would WEP again
Actually, when you watch a couple of war thunder clips, you get the notion that IRL, western combat tech, is highly preferable to comparable soviet tech.. So in warthunder, they nerfed all western weapons to enable the game to be more or less on equal terms. For example, the F4 should be able to carry six mavericks and get to 2.3Mach. In game?.. Well, not so. Same goes for the Viggen. It is extremely better then any comparable Soviet fighter in real life, so they nerfed it in just about any way possible in the game to compensate :-).
what altitude can the ‘un-nerfed’ F4E supposedly hit mach 2.3
@@Stupidlyrice Okay, you may have a point there, but still the real F4E can carry 6 mavericks or up to 8,400kg of bombs.
Much of the strength of western designs laid in advanced avionics and electronic warfare equipment, things that don't translate well into War Thunder.
Sorry mate just killed you in 105OE your were in israeli a4e will I be in a vid lol?
slight gripe here
Canberra is pronounced "can-bra" the e isn't pronounced and it's a hard a
While I adore Tim's content it's indeed rather annoying to hear Canberra pronounced wrong especially when it's my nations capital.
Still even the poms pronounce it wrong looks at Bruce who narrates all WT videos for the main channel.

Yes its engine is very Strong THEN what? Can you dodge 2 20g missile from harrier?
I dont think so. Im currently grinding this AJ right now, fly this thing stock is truly pain. Barely dodge the first missile coming at you, but if its a 30g one... well good luck with that LOL
Best loadout for this Aj is Missile + gun. But no flares, and no Flares at 10.3 mean you death!
Big Disappointed!
F4f early has no flares and its fine at 10.3
@@keenan_wt Its a sale day, Harrier everywhere now. I DOUBT it doing fine at its br. Even with Aj37, Its still hard to dodge 20g missiles
Honestly war thunder has gotten so bland, imbalanced, and grindy that Ive stopped playing altoghether. Wish I could try all of the flavor of the month planes.
Always has been grindy
DCS Viggen is eons better than this unfinished crap
