I'm glad I took it for a test flight and decided, "Nah, I'm good..."
i pre ordered it because it looked cool and regretted it
@@bodek back when it was new it was pretty good but now its meh
Same, i needed to win a game as france for last season's battle pass and i had always wanted this plane because of how cool it looked and I figured i loved the j7w so i would enjoy this one too.... nope, as soon as i got my win i let the test drive expire and have no interest in buying this plane
Same lol
I own it, and I actually enjoy it quite a bit. The players at its BR usually underestimate its guns and high speed performance, so it can be quite fun to fly.
Gaijin just put too much weight on fire power when making brs. Those ‘sad’ planes are staying there just because of the guns they have, and planes like yak9u are still sitting at 4.0.
They put too much weight on firepower in prop BRs and too little in top tier which is incredibly annoying.
and J-21 got it´s b.r. increased...
rather than fire power it's gauge; because Russia has mediocre armament, and except mig props and subsonic jets with that brutal performance, most planes are badly placed like the yak 3P at 5.0 having worse flight model than the earlier yak 3 or the yak 9UT which is noticeably worse than the yak 9u, but is 5.7 because of a 45mm gun
@@aligaterr5137 good
@Owen Deandre no
i enjoy the visible hesitation to press the "to battle" button at the end
I actually had fun playing the Ouragan, the thing is: Putting french songs while playing french makes the engine and guns more powerful by at least 30% ( And i have scientific proof but it's secret ). That why your Narval sucks, its not motivated enough.
I was gonna say he should fly it backwards but the engine/prop is already on the wrong side.
Just play the mystere 2a if you want to fly that 7.7 dung
@@WigglyWings for tactically advancing backwards
His Esprit de Corps was not up to regimental standard
I've had a couple 7 kill games in this thing, it's probably one of my Top 5 favorite planes. The main thing is patience, and to use the fact that most people underestimate you to lull them into a false sense of security, and then slap them in the ass with 6x151 Stealth's when they turn their backs on you. Of course, anyone with a brain won't fall for it, but a lot of Ally pilots, well, yeah...
Any time someone says "allied pilot" in a sentence such as yours..I assume they're horrible in US planes.
Its almost an admission they themselves are making.
In essence,when they try to do the ignorant things in US planes they do with Ger,JP or Ru but cant get away with it.
@@joshuamitcham1519 Why would you assume that? My best plane is the Corsair. Also, nice necropost.
I personally have grown to love this plane. Use it as a supporting energy fighter. Also, it's not great at climbing traditionally, pretty abysmal actually, *however*, it can climb quite well if you understand the unique application of its mechanics. Gaining speed in a straight and climbing aggressively in bursts has, at least for me, anecdotally proven to be much more effective, and that unique elevator positing and design allows you to pull negative G quite sharply which is great for leveling out fast after the aggressive climb
it's a really good aircraft.
@davidjeanmichel8358 Armee de'l Air test report from 1949 after evaluation flights at Bretigny-sur-Orge said otherwise.
watching this as i grind the mirage with my vautour
if you need to grind, and have the mystère IIC, just talisman it.
I hope you’re not like 95% of vautour pilots who crash within 3 minutes of the match starting.
@@sargesacker2599 nah i usually get missiled within the first 3 mins. crashing is bad for RP gains when you gotta wait for crew lock, I'd rather just miss my bombs than to go down with them
You are wrong. This plane is the best for grinding and has no competition around there. Guns at 300 and use them properly and you will love it
Good luck mate! As it stands now you are sentenced to absolute disappointment. Period!
Just one plane to rule them all : French P63 and the brilliant 37 mm baguette launcher. Great success !
I got this thing and it might have been my worst purchase
I would suggest try it again. But don’t use it stupidly trying to play mister Zero. It’s for grind. You are almost the first fronting Ju288. Take down few of em and go grind points you will hit almost every second game 60-100k and 10k points. I personally use 300m guns and stealth belt
i think this planes schtick really is ground rb because of the bombs and cannons for strafing definitely not a dogfighter
Hey Defyn! Can you consider Flying out the Seafire FR47 please? Have a good rest of your day.
Karim
Telling him to fly the Seafire FR47 doesn't seem like you want him to have a good day. LOL
Lol I haven't flown that aircraft for years. Took it out yesterday and aced in first game.
That's because German teams aren't what they used to be 🤣🤣
@@CmdrTyrael that's true
Oh so Defyn is actually mortal!
18: Enemy pilot must have passed out for pulling to Many G
This plane's climb rate was so bad the first two prototypes could not take off without extensive modifications to the airframe.
2:52 Speaking of J7W, I couldn't find any videos of you (on your channel of course) Flying it. then, J7W video When? :))
at this point its just a meme
Hes not gonna fly it, i've been crying for it for a month now:(
I hope so, I just got the j7w last week and it’s one of my favorite planes
I should have rewatched this video before buying. It handles like a boat, and accelerates like a base model Corolla.
The only 3 uses for this plane is Ju288C killing for sl, boom and zoom after side climbing when the Ju288Cs are dead, and ground attack.
the 1000lb bombs will finish off a base, the cannons are great and the WEP lasts much longer.
the only plane I've ever reversed is the Ta152, but even then I had to go to the edge of the map and dive under him to get the energy to reverse it and he very nearly got away.
Seems like the more beautiful a piston plane is the worse it performs... except the Ta-152 H, the 109 K4, the La9, the MiG225, the Spitfire Mk24, the LF M9 the F4U-4B, and the f8f, those are gorgeous and absolute beasts
One of my favorite props irl and in the game is the Narval i really like this plane and imo its a nice plane i do pretty well on it
It feels better seeing that I am not the only one that struggles in the S.O.8000. Once you get out of that mode of "must take the head on", I think that this type of plane starts to make less sense.
I have very fond memories clapping this thing on release while flying the D-13. I feel sorry for French pilots because it seems they are in the same bad spot as they were a few years ago.
An interceptor that can't even intercept.
There's the wyvern turboprop that'd very good
There's the a2d that'd an amazing grinder.
So8000 narval basically struggles to climb and do its own job, bad turboprop. Sad.
so8000 is really good, first time i'm not ok with one of your videos. tips, try to play it against 7.0 jets. if you have good aim you will revers them all.
It has good guns
And uh.... You can turn once at 700kph if you ever reach that speed.
Yeah that's it
You can get kills because this community is bad. plane has objectively bad performance.
In that first fight I (N_Lanternshark) survived a head on with DEFYN in my stock j2m. Then I noticed he was heading back towards base w/ 3 of my teammates above him and we were getting a nice ticket lead so I went and hit some soft ground for EZ RP.
I don't approve of this behavior. Always kill enemy fighters first or die trying, especially if one is DEFYN. =)
Fortunately my P47 temmate knew what he was doing and sealed the deal.
It just makes my day when you post a ~20min vid
I really like this plane and i'm doing really good with it. Just remember you can outrun anyone outdive anyone you have no compression at all and your negative elevator is super strong. I usually only fear 190s and 152s because they dont compress as much as 109s
sure if you just ignore the part where stuff like most american planes especially outdo you at youre own strengths, (running diving and high speed authority as you mentioned), so no, you can *not* outdo "anyone" in those
This thing is not designed to go up against a fighter. If you do you have to have more energy than them.
What it is however is a very effective JU288 killer.
Looking forward to the LA-9 video. It's a plane i loved in AB, but found it very underwhelming in RB. Just can't compete at altitude, and I've never been very good at just staying at ~3k dodging and reversing 3 people at a time.
It's like flying a early jet thats even earlier
And not faster than a lot it faces
Imagine a 262a1 but with the straight line speed of a spitfire
I love this plane
I am a tank player but looked for an aircraft to go with my tier 4 french tanks to take out CAS because its frustrating the hell out of me to get bombed by some moron in an aircraft.
But I guess it's best to not get it according to this video. It's a shame because there are no alternatives either
What Br. should this plane be?
I own it and feel that it is some kind niche military project that at first sounds impressive and then turn out to be rather flawed... Like the overheating Wyvern S4...--> maybe Br. 5.0ish?
Also the cockpit looks like an ground attack plane(excellent ground visibility, divebombing assist,...).
Whenever people say that a certain plane isn't good at a certain Br. , some make the "git gud" claim. --> you can still be success full with a certain planes if you follow the rules of the plane. I am not against that, but with that argument one could claim that it would be ok to put an I-153 against super props since it can outturn them and still gun them down.
If I understand correctly, this plane shares a variation of the Ta-152H1 engine
does ripping your flaps affect the planes performance at all besides not being able to use the flaps? like you lose lift or something?
I think you lose lift, I've noticed that ripping only one flap causes the plane to handle weird
@@user-yv1bf4rx7r only if u use the flaps, otherwise if they are raised it shouldn't be too much of a problem
Rip when u grinded with that plane lol tbh u do regret getting it but whatever it was good for getting me into tier 5 and getting lions back when I got it. My opinion, get to the Etendard and put a Talisman on it and any high tier grind will be a breeze. That plane is phenomenal
Also rip to anyone who grinds the Mirage and doesn't have a few thousand eagles to spend on mods because that plane is pain unless it's upgraded and has the Magics.
Just run a day of air arcade assault and you can grind out a few early mods without the pain of an ass whooping.
@@CmdrTyrael Oh shi... that's actually a good idea lol I completely forgot Arcade and such even existed
Defyn, what BR would you put this thing at?
I would say 4.7 at most because this thing is just a boat with 6 20s and because the other plane that gets 6 MG-151s (the A-5/U12) is 4.7 but can take those gun pods off and become a better A-5.
I'd say NC 900 would be be the best french premium right now if it were available.
After Fw 190A massive engine buff not so long ago it's actually decent.
I liked this plane when I first got it but I played REALLY passive. Use it rarely in Ground RB now.
Defyn: complains about how the airplane is almost horrible in every way
Also Defyn: proceeds to ace games
A good pilot have aces with any plane i have aces with wyvern, me163 and even he219
I like this plane. I’m not sure if that’s copium or not.
Only a french guy to put a piston engine in a plane this size lol
Can you try MB5 or La-9?
narval is a great when someone bait for you
Wow! I must say that was completely unexpected. I absolutely disagree with this video. In my opinion Narval is absolute THE best 5.7 plane. The guns AND the keyboard controls of this thing is AMAZING. If you keep your speed above 430 you cannot lose any head on. You have controls to make even spitfires and zeroes unable to dodge you. Also you have AMAZING dive performace, absolutely no compression - this means you easily make planes overshot with downward spiral. I get constant 5-7 kill games in this thing. My best purchase ever.
This is bait isn't it
wow that is amazing, thanks for the tips. Can I ask your ign so I can add you to my friend list?
@@DEFYN Haha no xD I really like the thing. Americans are always taking headons with you and Germany has lots of Ju288 which you annihilate easily. You airspawn then put 10 degree climb at the left or right enemy base. Then you make lots of headons because people for some reason like to go against 6x20mm. If you are diving on someone then he is dead. Your dive maneuverability is just insane. Your job is kinda like on jets, destroying as many people as fast as possible. Then run away. I always play it when I have more than 100% SL booster. Moneymaker. Either way maybe this plane just fits my playstyle. Love your videos Defyn.
@@Metrallaroja My ingame nick is _InVerso_ but I don't take friend request from strangers so sorry m8.

POLITICAL ..., comment. ;) Very nice gaming.
Idk dude, i did actually enjoy a8. Literally researched whole american tech tree back in 2016 thanks to it. Sure it dumps a lot of speed, but cannons are melting everything on sight.
It's one of my favourites
But it's still an ass plane lol
Me too. I got a random talisman on the thing, and then it became my favourite plane. I'm at 3.5:1 against griffons, p47's and the like, so it can't be all bad, cos I ain't that good. Without the airspawn it'd be proper phucked though.
The J21-A took some steroids
My first plane, I literally bought myself into battle bc I was scared of Air RB
Abt 3 years ago
Ju-288 giving me nobody dives at 300knots vibes
Idk about you but I love this plane
i love it too. Still horrible in terms of performance for the BR
I think Gaijin should change the armament to the original four Hispano 20mm and put it on 5.0
5.0 with hispano?
And what advantages will it have over 190A-8?
@@_lliu3oqppehu9l_83 maneuverability and energy retention in the hotizontal turning.
If Gaijin also decided to make rank 4 Hispano have the same belts as AN/M2 (/3) which they did in real life, a SO8000 with four Hispano at 5.0 would wreck, a spitfire mk9 would wreck, and the spitfire mk24 would have chances sniping jets from 2km away as they zoom out. But Gaijin prefers to keep shit as it was so that America doesn't cry Russian bias or britbong dong.
@@kingghidorah8106 A-8 actually turns better than Narval
And I see no reasons why after so many years Gaijin will suddenly decide to make Hispanos as good as they should be
@@_lliu3oqppehu9l_83 Well shit then about the a8
and why would Gaijin buff Hispano? for the same reason they made berezin 12.7mm as bad as Italian 12mm

Considering its french and france is one of the last nations ill fly, i prob won't buy it anyways. So thank you for helping me save up the money i don't have 😭🤣
Defyn can you please make a video on the 5.0 G55S in the current matchmaker?
I want to say this thing was really broken when it was just added??
i used ad4 to grind out rank v and then vautour iib to grind out the rest it was a pure pain ive always been a fighter player but bombers give good consistent rp
Use talisman on F6F-5 or P-63 and you're good to go.
or for some reason you need to grind SL in frence nation.. use P40 this thing do everything well in every game mode and it's dirt cheap as well.
i don't recommend yak3 but yak 9T atleast yak 9T are good in ground RB
"this thing is bad"
_proceeds to crush the ennemy team anyway_

@DEFYN do you recommend that people pick one plane and stick to it to improve? Or swapping btwn 2 or 3 planes to avoid developing bad habits?
Sorry I'm not DEFYN but to answer your question I'd say every plane flies different. Even when your in a variant of the same plane it will fly different....a bf109f4 and a bf109f2 flies different...yeah they have similar characteristics boom n zoom energy retention climb rate but the finer details matter....like in a bf109f2 you may climb at 20° and in the f4 you could get away w 30° climb....id say fly the plane you want but get good at what that plane does...when you switch planes you have to switch up the style just a little bit....like I recently got the ITPM1 from the warbond shop, I flew it exactly how I fly my bf109f4 and I went 10-0 on almost every match after the first couple matches....but I could tell I couldn't climb as fast and therefore when I did climb I was slower than usual, so I had to drop the nose to gain speed quicker than I would have w the bf109...just little tweaks is all it takes sometimes...but you not gonna fly a p51 the same way you do a bf109....so switching planes would mean switching styles and if your always switching your not concentrating on the planes strengths....find the plane you want to fly and learn it I've looked up hours of how to fly a bf109 a p63 a p51 a ki a zero because I like those particular planes....
I personally stayed w 1 plane till I got good w it n once I knew more about lift drag fighter maneuvers speed energy flaps throttle control angle of attack, then I went to other planes to see what their strengths are....
Fly the plane you like first, then fly your opponent’s plane that kills you the most.
I’m a level 100 with an ungodly amount of games, and I’ve not played a single plane over 200 games because it just gets boring to me. If you want to get good fast you should stick to one plane, but it’ll get really repetitive and kind of frustrating. If you play a ton of different planes over time you’ll get better, but it will take longer.
@@davidhald1857I'm lvl 100 as well, luckily the bf109 is what I wanted to fly and after learning it and other planes characteristics it never gets boring for me once I knew how to fly it

Regret buying.

@@Samuel-vm7hn just sideclimb and dont be dumb and dive into all the airspawning strike fighters ;)

i am using the french p-47 d-22 to grind frances tech tree
I actually kinda like this thing
Useless as it’s used absolutely in a wrong way. This is not a Zero or a pure fighter. From the perspective of this topic which is : grind for Mirage” is the best ever option and it’s a fastest way. I respect your topics as you are very skilled in dog fights. But! This is not the case mate! It just needs to be used differently. This is NOT a fighter and if you use it as a mixed attacker and fighter you grind a lot I mean a lot of points and silver lions as well. I am a very average player somewhere around 3 considering your score is 10 and manage to get over all boring ranks 4to6 most boring being 5. And I done it very quickly with a premium account. Remember that you will need a lot of silver lions to buy all the crap before the Mirage. Definitely must have.
A concept that everyone seems to think, they all play attack aircraft as pure fighters than they usually complain that it's not good while keep trying to play it as such.
As usual incorrect usage will always result in lesser performance or simply failure.
Same goes in NF for things like motor torpedo boats people think the weapons meant for AA are for anti-surface warfare an so complain when those poxy 7.7 mm MG's are terrible against other boat, similar with ASW ships too.

Where can you see how many aces someone has?
@@ClockPerfection Uhh I put some of mine on my channel, I use Narval often for events and it works like a treat. BTW after watching this vid my friend and I took out our Narvals and...yeah..I got 4, he got 3, pretty much wiped out the entire enemy team. Could have gotten yet another ace but he needed fighters for his warbonds so I let him have the Ta152 so he could finish his dailies as I was already done with mine. I'll be putting it up on my channel in a day or two, lovely match.
@@TheHangarHobbit High kill games don't mean anything. A Corsair can get an ace in top tier, doesn't make it viable does it? Sad reality of the narval is that all other 5.7s outperform it at every relevant metric. My PR for the narval is 7... i still know its dog .
Did they change the F84 flight model cause now it rips so easily even w/o boosters?
Never had a problem with it in the G variant. I just rush in, head on as many people as possible and zoom back out
TA 152 C3 sad? :-O I was under the impression it was a great plane. Could you elaborate? Thanks for the content!
The C3 is just really heavy and fat. It has fantastic guns but it doesn't climb that well, its MER is nowhere close to the H1, and it doesn't pull. The BR is just for the firepower and top speed. You can definitely make it work against people who aren't paying attention or who have a massive energy disadvantage but in a fair fight the H1 is a hugely better choice nearly every time.
@@areaofdefect907 Thanks for the info! :-)

Isn't grinding the Mirage, which is rank 6 using a rank 4 plane kinda dumb? Isn't the reward lowered because its 2 rank difference?

@@DEFYN right ok.
3:50 where's the aileron of the left wing? Did it rip with the flap?

It's called good sportsmanship and it seems to be a trait that is sorely lacking in the online community.

also fighting 5 enemies just because ur whole team are flying with a4b a4e and dying just to bomb a base or kill some AI doesnt mean i messed up.
I would say u are the salty person if u cant accept other strategies than a fair fight. And its strategy as long as u planned to do this. Otherwise fighting b&z is just an "option" as well. And usually options are a part of strategy.
Using game mechanics to give urself advantage is okay and whole stuff saying its not enjoyable is stupid. Maybe for you its not. But for some it is. It is as much as watching ur enemies crash or shoot eachother which is pure luck and 0 skill and yet someone can enjoy this
