The F-104C is essentially an F-104A, but with some CAS capability. Is it worth purchasing and grinding? I go over what you need to know in this episode of Stock to Spaded.

    One thing that bugs me with the stock to spaded series is that sometimes you choose mods in rank 4 without having the sufficient mods in previous ranks, which can impact the review
  • @Blackflippy
    You forgot one thing. This chipotle pencil with extra spicy it can do his job as a bomber hunter in SIM. It is pretty fun!
  • @DarkShadows2019
    A point of clarification; the RWR on this thing, while nice to have, does not help against mig-21s with R-3Rs. The RWR works with E, G, and I bands whereas the R-3R works in J. It's a recurring problem with US RWRs by and large facing Russian radars unfortunately, it's very frustrating. Luckily this problem goes away at higher brs.

    Old fighter pilot saying.. "You meet a better class of fighter pilots in the vertical.." Actual IRL FP phrse too. Vertical turns are actually superior to horizontal ones but with newer jets that have good missiles and more then their weight in thrust I don't know if doing that to one is a good idea !😅
  • A-10s were my favorite prey when I used the F-104A, and can still be when I use the C
  • I love my f-104c. Flying supersonic 30ft above the deck on my way to drop the BLU-1 incendiary then turning around and looking for unaware A-10's is my bread and butter.
  • G'day Tankenstein, Hm Ohh how I wish they would do just an update for all the Starfighters in which they got either BR changes or historical weaponry additions or both. From what I've read this C model "could" itself with two extra AIM-9B missiles & iirc a M118 3000lb bomb for lolz. I still think this thing should've stayed 9.7 as at 9.3 it's just evil in ARB at the current time if all the stars aline in a match.
  • @anthony7697
    If only they gave it the same 9.3 BR in Arcade. 9.7 putting it against 11.0 planes and the missiles they carry was pain.
  • @c44448
    short answer: yes its good and you can snipe half a base with one bomb and rocket pots ontop of your aim 9Bs
  • @Lord.Kiltridge
    I have them both and never use either. Seriously, they both still have 10 free repairs available.
  • @Hootis
    first. yes I am that person.
  • @Pirate85getready
    Yesterday spaded it, it's awesome if you just always remember never to turn with it in combat. Zoom and Boom 💥 Edit: one good Tip I missed so far: turn off ur Radar if you don't need it. Otherwise some enemies will be aware that u're there because their RWR will tell em. 😉
