I love this plane with a Passion the acceleration in combo with the HMD and Python3 is just fun.

The last time that I had this much fun in a jet was when I was slinging R-24Ts at enemies 6 miles away in a MiG-23.

I played about 50 games with the J-8F, definitely had a lot of fun with the PL8+HMS combo, the python 3 is just fun to watch fly off the rails. That being said this thing definitely is not meta, as an only IR fighter can struggle in current top tier air RB especially with the delta wing speed bleed. I have about 2 k/d in this compared to about 4.5 k/d in the f14b which just fits the meta better. Good video, I enjoyed!

The PL-8 in this video ignored flares, which is not my experience using Python-3 ... is this a bug?

@@omnipotank I have no clue, python 3's had absolutely 0 flare resistance in my experience as well. I'm talking rear aspect F14A with fuller burner from 1km away and my python 3 still gets flared. But apparently it has the same resistance as a 9L, I really have no idea

The Su-15 at home with F-16's radar is certainly not a slouch by any means, but I hesitate to call it the new powerhouse. While the TWR is absolutely crazy, it lacks any form of energy retention through maneuvers. It's really only good for yeeting Pythons at people and praying they hit. Not exactly what I would call the best of formulas for fighting against people with situational awareness. I'd consider something like the F-14B or Mig-29 or F-16 BLK.15/20 more META

But yeeting Pythons at people is so much fun. Speaking of the F-14B, I have my review of that coming out tomorrow. It's quite the enjoyable aircraft.

@@ChipsAhoyMcCoy It's a fucking beast. Even with the patch day craze, managed to grind it out, and by La Royale +3, I had all the missiles and performance mods for it. Had a 71% win rate with a 3.6 K/D and 2.1 kills per match average. I have not had that kind of dominance on patch day since F-14A or F-16. It's everything I've ever wanted in a TT fighter (minus the radar not quite having full functionality)

@@Registered_Simp The radar was the biggest disappointment for me. I don't know if it's been fixed but I was having trouble maintaining locks on people. I'm currently playing with the Mirage 2000-5F and to me it has a much more friendly radar. This might be a me issue though.

@@ChipsAhoyMcCoy If the issue you're talking about is relating to TWS, it's because of some gaijin spaghetti code where the nose camera is causing interference with the track and causes it to bug out sometimes. Especially when violently maneuvering. As for standard locks, the radar is currently High PRF (Pulse Repetition Frequency) only. So it can only see in head-on scenarios. However, looking at the tomcats radar, the RIO (and I believe the pilot as well) has a switch for the PRF mode of the radar. Depending on the aspect of the target, the RIO can select Front, Beaming, or Rear aspect with a switch. What this means in game is that the AN/AWG-9 should have a Medium PRF mode just like the radars on F-16, Mig-29, and Mirage 2000-5F

Yeah, only being able to use the radar in head on scenarios is a bummer. My general playstyle is to get behind or to the side of the enemy.

Hol' Up ... Did those PL-8's ignore flares on some of those aircraft??? The python-3's (same missile) DO NOT work against flares at all. Also ... those Python-3's should have no problem catching a F14 going mach away from you like that. It should be going Mach 3.5, which is way faster (and travel farther than aim-9L).

except for very specific circumstances, the PL-8s will go after any flare in the sky.

Overall, the Netz. If you just want to throw Pythons at enemies, then the J-8F.
