There is a role that multi's may play, albeit not a glamourous one, at higher levels. It is to remove AA guns, particularly from targets of value (command centres, military bases, mining plants). It is not even necessary to remove the entire AA site. Just the gun will suffice. This allows your team's bombers to attack while suffering less from the AA, and this in turn allows them to move on and strike at the next target with significantly reduced damage. As I alluded, the multi won't generate great personal point totals in this role, but it may help to make the difference in a team win. To paraphrase, they also serve ... who only kill the flack. ;-)

That's a nice point. I regard the removal of AA guns as a secondary objective, but it can be helpful.

Welcome back and great video!

Very informative. You make me want to sell all my other planes but multirole, lol.

Clearly, you're a man who relishes a challenge! Thank you for the kind comment.

I do like the multirole class. It has some drawbacks but with good map awareness you can always do something. Unlike ground attackers or bombers when there are no more targets

That's true!

Just finished this guy up this weekend! In general I love multi-roles, but they are definitely not the strongest of planes! I do think they are in better shape than they were in 1.X, where ordinance was penalized much more and the boost times were often not long enough to get back to altitude after attack runs.

Good to see you here! Thanks for the interesting perspective. Not having played version 1 of the game, I can't offer that to the community and I'm happy when others do.

Lovely to see you flying my beloved class. Shame the game has largely passed it by. 😊

I've been told by some who played version 1 of the game that multirole fighters have always been somewhat niche as a class. It's interesting that some of the "paper planes", like the BVP "batwings" appear to have offered the WoWp team, as it was back in 2013, a chance to do something different. It's hard to see, in the current state of the game, the class being revitalised in any way.

Great analysis of the Tempest & multiroles too! Any other Tech Tree Fly Throughs planned? Maybe this line (UK multiroles), or perhaps US Heavy, German Heavy, Russian La-, or MiG Line? Just curious😃

Thank you for your kind comments. I've decided that the next time I have an extended holiday I'm going to do two or three tech tree flythroughs. There are so many choices, I haven't decided which lines yet, but I'm looking forward to it!

@@TheNobleQ Options abound😊 This line would be interesting.. to see. I am currently on the Typhoon but I don’t know if I could make it through the next two. The Hunter would be the prize but the Tempest just seems like more of the same and the Seahawks seems hard to play based on some gameplay that I’ve seen. But I might just let Free XP & boosters do the work for me🤷🏼

The British multiroles would be a good choice, that's true. The Hunter is the object of desire, a powerful plane if not swamped by bomber spam. The Seahawk is the weak spot in the line, with tier 8 guns facing tier 10 opponents all too often. It needs careful play. Thanks for the suggestion!

Maybe it's only me, but I prefer the american corsair line. Similar guns, less rockets, better ins turns. Nice video as always :-)

I shouldn't think that's just you. Plenty will find the power fo the Corsair guns more to their liking!

Nice video !!!! The UK multi role fighter is quite difficult to play, congrats

I believe it's important to identify with multiroles what you're going to do with it and concentrate on that. Some are easier than others, but mostly all are challenges in some way.

I rather enjoy the British multiroles. Struggled at first with the Hurricane I (Tier IV), early in my time in WoWP, but picked it back up and found the Hurricane II and Tornado quite fun, and am on the Tempest now. Then again, I have the British multirole pilot, and she helps quite a bit.

Well done on the pylons…..equipment many forget about

@TheNobleQ

Once you've decided you're not going to focus on the ordnance of a multirole, aerodynamic pylons are a strong choice.

I wonder why the best gun in the game is not on a t10 plane, but t9, first, and second - on the class that supposed to has the weakest guns :) Can u name the plane? :) /still haven't watch the video, will do it a bit later/

@TheNobleQ

I hope you find something to like if and when you watch the video. As for tier 9 guns, what you call "best" depends on what characteristics are most important to you. I think the gun that is the most fun is the Vulcan cannon on the F-94D Starfire, though some would argue that the weaponry on the J7W2 is better since it hits just as hard as a tier 9 heavy. What did you have in mind?

Yep, of course it is the F-94D with the mighty Vulcan cannon :)
