AV-8B Plus In War Thunder : A Basic Review

Taking a look at the version of the Harrier II thats available in the Italian tech tree. I discuss its weapon systems, its flight performance, combat tactics, and the historical context for the jet, followed by some final thoughts and conclusions. This really is a unique vehicle with an atypical playstyle in the current top-tier meta.

I'm all over the place!

Dont forget that in GRB, VTOLs can land at heli bases to repair and resupply, then they respawn in air moving

Flying with 10 Paveways and literally deleting entire teams is probably the most fun I had with CAS. Maybe together with Flying the AMX. Just wait till this thing Gets Amraams

It's a bit of a personal preference but i prefered the old structure of these reviews. Just giving my feedback.

The content is still as clear, straightforward and useful, so keep up the good work, you're the best WT CC out there.

Edit: typos

[appleeee]

always love watching your wt videos even if I haven't played the game in years.

I've got a hunch the Av-8B might come for the USA next patch which is why they've been holding it back.
Since 4th gens like an F-18 Hornet were sadly denied for next patch.

[explosivecommando]

Really good explanation and you even showed the cockpit which is amazing. Good job!

[awsomegamer]

I've been watching your channel for a couple months, and I have to say, you are one of the best WT tubers I've ever seen. As opposed to creators who only cover air or ground ops and vehicles, you do both, without any discretion, nor bias towards certain playstyles, unlike other youtubers. Thank you for what you do.

Dont know if anybody else has brought it up, but I quite like the new bold black outline around the plane in the thumbnail Tim!

[pomelo]

I love this thing so much, in air RB VTOL catches so many people off guard and in CAS its just so great with the good targetting pod, a lot of GBUs and even the mavericks to counter AA. also the harriers are just kinda cool

[TheSinlessness]

you are the best WT youtuber hands down!

[TheRealBlackivy]

I'm still a long ways away from jets, these videos give me the best insight to what's in store for me when I get there! TY

[washingmachine]

actually caught a video early. great content as always!

[NathanIrizarry]

This thing is crazy at 11.7 in sim when its in the top of the bracket. Crazy situational awareness 4 aim-9ms and great amount of ordnance.

[DieErsteKartoffel]

Still wish we had this thing in the US, maybe we'll get it in March.

[finkamain]

I like how the US at the moment doesn't even get the AV-8B Plus, the F-86D, or even an F-104 with CMs

[diamonddusk]

This slight change in the order that info is presented is perfect! The tips and game info first would make videos a lot easier to quickly reference before trying them in game. It's a very small thing but I appreciate it!

[GeneralArmchair]

Wish my Yak-141 had half of the fancy air to ground toys that this thing has.

[cokelover]

Yesterday my friend and I talked about this thing and I came to you and I sae you didn't make one and one day later you made one!

[csii]

As always great and informative video. I was thinking as I just unlock the Viper and unlocked the napalm bombs and was wondering how many does it take to take a base. Then I realized a great QOL improvement to put a red circle base in test flight to test out new bombs and how many you need for a base and experiment with custom load outs. Like my F5e can kill a base with the rockets and one napalm and found out only by trail and error in realistic. Just think it would be helpful to have a base in test flight to try out test runs.

Love the vid and love the Harrier but what is up with Tim going absolutely feral in the gameplay?
