Hey there DEFYN! I was the F4E at 7:30, had just gotten back to playing the game after a few months off so i’m sorry that I couldn’t give you a more entertaining dogfight ^^ now that I’ve shaken off the rust I’m sure our next encounter will be a little more spectacular ;) keep up the good content!
Something I love to do with the Mavericks is the send them after players who camp the airfield. You can launch it savely from outside the AAs range and it won't trigger RWR and can't be flared
I'd say that if it comes to the positioning at the start of the battle, it also depends on the vehicle. Is your jet exponentially good at climbing like F-104? You may climb to 6km+ and then dive straight on your enemies if it wasn't an uptier. Are you in a jet with no countermeasures and there are probably SU-25s or A-6s in enemy team? Don't even climb and try flying away from the middle of the map, get around it and you may be able to get on the six of these pesky SU-25s, unless you get interrupted. When I was grinding the F-5E with F-104C, F-100D and F-2 sabre recently, every time during an uptier, I tried flanking the enemy team low, which usually either ended with me snatching some sneaky kills, not getting any, because my team stomped the enemy team or got completely obliterated, because my team was already dead. If I had got a downtier, then I'd climb to around 3km and then engage lone targets without any interference from unexpected R-60MK vibe check. The last exception was when I unloved rocket pods for F-104C, because despite it lacking flares, for some reason you can mount only one rocket pod under one wing, which gives you ~10 "flares", which actually allowed me to use the excellent F-104C climb rate despite SU-25 presence, because R-60MKs easily loose track if you shoot a small serie of FFARs.
@@GewelReal Well, obvious for people who already have the experience, but due to the meta at these brs changing every month, you must learn and adapt. That was at least the point of my post for people, who don't find it obvious.
Wow! Great tips in this video for new WT players. Thank for explaining what to do when an enemy is on your 6 and you have help coming in. It's very frustrating when you're the help and the teammate doesn't know what to do. lol
Hey Defyn, I love watching your videos and your tips really help me out, but I was wondering if you could make a video showcasing your controls for ARB and what they do, I know that would help a lot of new players and definitely myself out. Keep up the good work dude!

Would you do a video on the Mig-17? Maybe see how it holds up nowadays as it has to face more advanced aircraft very often. I personally love the plane but I never see anyone use it anymore cause it doesn't get missiles.
i know this plane doesnt have SARH but when chasing you can do a bit of trolling if you lock on someone and fire an AIM-9 most people will interpret it as an AIM-7 after seeing youre in a phantom they start bleeding off all their speed enough for a vulcan spray, has worked for me more times than it should and its so funny
Hi DEFYN, I recently started grinding the USSR air tree and tried to play the LaGG-3. I didn't do so well seeing as I was completely stock, and that thing is more obese than 69% of Americans. So would you consider doing a video on it? I would be very interested in seeing how you approach flying it.
Hey I have a question i was grinding the Russian air tree and out of no where it allowed me to research the whole rest of tier 3 so like 4-5 planes and i never experienced that before and i have grinded china and Israel
I'd love to see DEFYN play the MiG-21F-13. That thing is a challenge to play when facing high-G missiles. Dunno if he'd go absolutely insane or not after getting footages for that thing.
Guys i have the problem that my new planes names are weird, like the f16 name is F16a_block15-adf can soemone help me? i think its because i have a custom kill message. But how do i turn the names back normal? any suggestionSß
No. This one is a little better due to the BR and it also has the agile eagle slats. Japan one is still 11.0 so it fights 12.0s, British J is a brick with mediocre missiles
Oh, so that's why I see people staying way left in lower rank games. But it doesn't seem necessary when you don't have to worry about missiles. I usually go more right or straight up the middle, figuring I can help spot and maybe drag a guy into a trap or flank somebody.
This phantom is my favourite in the game. I don't know if it's because it suits my gamestyle. I get average 4-5 kills every game after I bomb run the bases.
I need to know how you do this, I’ve been struggling so much with it Edit: having spaded it now, I get around 1-4 kills per game. I think it just took time, and getting the gun pods, to get good
Im still grinding to rank 7 in my Mig 19, I really want to get the F4F but there is still the Starfighter which is just a pencil, now what I mean is that I want to get the Phantom but im really not a fan of the Starfighter, its a cool plane irl but not ingame. Im an F2P player so wish me luck XD
Same!! Me too!! I'm just using the tornado ids event ..every one day I would play it for like 4-5 matches and thats it . I've finished the ground/ helicopter for Germany.. only left is the air section which tbh is not my forte. Good luck pilot!
Most likely Mirages are dumping all of their speed while taking bad angles leaving them out of energy before they can kill the F-4 meaning that the F-4 can just come around the turn and bag them. While the Mirage is a lot more maneuverable with speed when it is well below its best maneuvering speed to the point that it is just stalling around the circle it will turn worse than every other jet fighter in game. This is true for virtually every jet fighter though so don't ever get a jet slow unless you are above someone deliberately stalling them out and you know they don't have any missiles.
@@sherlocksinha2435 they're great dogfighters at low fuel, but that's because on mid fuel amount they are proportionally carrying much more weight than an F-5C or a MiG19, it's like the J5N1, it sucks hard because it starts with a minimum of 30mins of fuel but once it gets on 10 minutes it can out dogfight a lot of stuff. Same for P51 D30.
ykw you're just a war thunder youtuber and it's nothing deeper than that, but i do have to make it deeper and thank you for posting your in depth videos and the witty jokes you slide in time to time, it might be cringe but you're one of my fav youtubers to watch when i need a distraction or just want to be satisfied with some sick kills, never change bro
DEFYN why don’t you talk about the Fucking A6-E at 10.0 It has the best missiles I’m grinding the MiG-23BN and I’m losing my mind 10.0 is a Pay-To-Win BR
German air top tier is a total joke. Highest br plane is 11.3 and while every other tree (except Britain) )has a competitive top tier fighter we consistently get nothing. MLD is barely even mid, 21 bis isn't competitive, tornado is absolute dog poo. I refuse to play sim ( my favorite mode) because I'll get dookied on immediately by a f-14/f16. We need a Mig 29, or really anything competitive but bc German ground is really strong people laugh when German air mains speak out.
And trust me, from experience- we'll finally get a Mig 29/competitive jet when a f-22 premium comes out in 2032. We are consistently the last tree to get a competitive top tier jet and by the time we get it it's no longer competitive or the highest br.
Because then you have even more mig29s fighting each other with no diversity, the only reason the f16 is somewhat kept in check is because it's given to minor nations
I hate these missile thunder videos. Every time I see one in my notifications I have to stop what I'm doing and watch it muted in the background to boost the algorithm.
tbf, the f14 is still fine, the APG-66 on the F-16 is the hardest to notch in the entire game (but the 7M's habit of not caring about radar locks and deciding i wants to hit anything but the target is pretty annoying, also the fact that if your going mach 1 the F-16 magically becomes an F-104), the A-6E is there having 4 AIM-9L's at 10.0 facing planes that doesnt have any flares at all, also there are alot of undtertiered US planes like the XP-50, F-89B/D, P-51H, and F2G.
