Great job at explaining what you are doing and why you are doing it. Your video about positioning improved my gameplay a lot no more boring games hogging the deck. Keep up the great work.
i remember getting this plane just before it got absolutely buffed. reduction to 10.0 and fixing the wing snappings. It was absolutely OP. my aim 9d's were pretty much 3 sure kills. Had great gun ballistics. and there was a plethora of flareless jets. it went on to become my most successful jet with the highest number of victories to losses ratio. Absolute Legend
The F-8 is a monster, no two ends about it. If you're in a MiG vs F8 scenario, only one thing is gonna work for you as a MiG pilot, be aggressive from the very first moment and don't let up.
BIS is not in it's best days right now but at least when I played the SMT when it was 10.3 it was a very good dogfighter (compared to other russian planes) it has a stronger engine and the R-60+R-3R combo still works at 10.7 I think it is now
For what its worth you don't have to fire off all 4 cannons at once, it can be split into pairs. I learnt this after a similar 3 v 1 when I ran out of rounds.
Awesome vids man, they have helped me greatly as im coming into the fox 3 meta after not playing since the flanker released. I only have Russia top tier, and can't decide between France for the Rafale or another nation that will get the EFT that has more variety. What nation is an enjoyable grind besides US?
@@lilgloomfnord hmm, hard to say, other than UK and to some degree Germany (but even then I used the wyvern and do 335 in those trees a while back). I've always bought a premium in the sales when i want to do a new tree I also haven't levelled Italy so can't comment there
can you make a video about ir missile and how to defeat magic 2 and if possible how to use them properly. i saw from you videos that at multipathing distance magic 2 work great front aspect
With FoV missiles (Magic 2, R-73) pre-flaring is the easiest method, my flaring is pretty weak though I didn't play much in the IRCCM meta. Defyn has a great IRCCM flaring guide you should check out With magic 2s if they aren't pre-flaring a 2km shot has a good chance of hitting if they don't react immediately
@@omarjager4184 oh right yeah I got you now, there is meant to be an spaa or something that will fire at you on the new test flight since the update but I haven't messed around with it myself
Is it when you're fighting your mouse aim with your inputs? That's usually the cause. Try taking it out in test drive and experiment with rips the wings
F8U-2 will rip if you sustain over 10gs for more than a few seconds. It can pull those 11-15g when doing hard turns at mach 0.8-1, at low to medium altitudes. Past mach 0.9-1 you lock up a little bit, just enough to not rip. Below mach 0.8-0.9 you're just pulling fewer Gs due to lower speed. So basically any time you're below contrail height going transonic you want to pay attention to your turns, ESPECIALLY at the deck. If you see 11 or more G flash on your screen even for a moment - immideately stop your turn, let the plane straighten out, and then do a gentler, 9-10g turn.
hey bro would you mind sharing your free look controls binds for looking around while manouvering?? its very fluid and id like to tweak mine to be similar
I use RMB for free look and have zoom on C. Most of the tournament players I play with do seem to stick with C for free look, it comes down to personal preference generally I also posted my key binds file a little while ago: ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxXnCILC0TEuQSZVaoRwdFy9l4ZIQ07RmE?si=_nyjH5vHSs_Of80B
I stock grind planes I haven't played before, I try to include some stock clips and comments to help people with that aspect of it. I do mention it in the video at the start
Favourite jet I've played, feels like the f2p plane with premium performance.
To be honest even if this was at 10.7 I'd still rather fly it than the F-5C haha
@@MiGanFox3 I was flying this and the F-8E after getting deathly bored of being too slow to catch anything in the F-5C (except when people turned)
From the looks of it it looks like you play it basically like a J-7E
@@joshualeespiny7172 i'd say that's a good comparison. Absolutely love the J-7E as well, researched basically all of the late China tree with it

Thank you mate, glad to hear it's working for you 👍

you content matches defyns content keep up
I just unlocked this jet a few hours ago, I luv it also i personally think it looks really good 😂 also good video i enjoyed it a lot
@@FrostedFlukes I do like the massive scoop intake on the front
could you do a video on the mig 21 smt/bis ? never understood the playstile as i always lose my energy. keep up the vids!!!
Possibly, likely going to be a lot of top tier stuff I wanna play with the short turnaround to the December update (assuming it does come in December)

I've only played with the French f8efn but the lack of countermesure is not that bad since you have 2 magic 1 that are unflaireble at
Yeah I imagine that thing is particularly nasty in down tiers

I've just got this f8, do the performance modifications stop the wing rip
hmm, I actually have no idea, they definitely don't stop it. However I don't know if they make it harder to rip
I can't seem to not rip the wings off the f8s...
Its the only plane I have that problem with in air rb...
